Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 439

Chapter 437: The Surprised Great Wizard Sura

Chapter 437 The Surprised Great Wizard Sura
In the Six Towers, the White Dragon Tower, on the 10KM level, in the meeting room of the research group of Locke and others, although the Montgomery people had long guessed that they could pass the preliminaries in the main competition, they were still excited at this moment and cheered.

All the hard work has finally paid off.

In addition to the four official wizards who were very happy, even the students in this research group could feel the joy of passing the preliminaries.

At the same time, Locke received fifty magic crystal cards sent from the event committee office. Over the past month, Locke had spent thirty magic crystal cards due to various expenses. Currently, there are only seventy magic crystal cards left, and this is based on the savings from doing experiments.

At present, the fifty magic crystal cards sent by the tournament committee office, which is equivalent to 500,000 magic stones, are undoubtedly of great help.

Moreover, after passing the first round of qualifiers, he could ask the Plutarch family for additional investment.

Locke told the students, “Our research group has passed the preliminary round. I think those who think we are just making money will eventually realize their own stupidity and ignorance.”

“I will ask the Plutarch family to upgrade the level of your residence, moving you from the low-level apprentice dormitory at 5km to the high-level apprentice dormitory at 15km.”

The forty-five students present were stunned for a moment, and then they all cheered collectively.

The higher the White Dragon Tower is, the higher the concentration gradient of its magic tide will be. The height at which one lives in the White Dragon Tower represents one’s status and the resources one enjoys.

Since they followed Locke’s research team, many people were forced to move down from the student dormitory at an altitude of 10km and live in the cramped and low-level dormitory area. The quality of food also declined again and again, but fortunately all this will change today.

Locke will improve the quality of their housing and food.

Locke said, “In this case, the Plutarch family should have no reason to object.”

“In addition, we can also increase the training subsidies provided by the Plutarch family to our research group’s students… For example, we can increase the monthly Moon Dew Gel from one bottle to five bottles for second-class wizard apprentices, and increase the monthly Arcane Power Potions provided to first-class wizard apprentices from one bottle to three.”

The Moon Dew Cream is the Six Towers’ counterpart to the Concentration Cream of the White Wizard Society in the Southeast Corner. It is a simple potion that increases the speed of apprentices’ mana.

The Arcane Energizing Potion in the Six Towers has a similar effect to the Bloodthirsty Nightshade Potion and the Star Tears Potion in Lilith’s Hut in the southeast corner.

These are all benefits provided to apprentices in the Six Towers, but not only are their quality not as good as those in the southeast corner, but even their quantity is not as good.

Lilith’s Hut can distribute five bottles of Concentration Ointment per month, and three bottles of Blood-Weeping Nightshade Potion and Star Tears Potion per month.

Turns out, there’s a bottle of everything here.

In fact, it was not that the amount distributed was small, as far as Locke knew, but that these potions were pocketed by certain people. The academy distributed five bottles, but the apprentices could only get one, and the remaining four bottles all belonged to certain people.

Since his research group has passed the preliminaries and achieved success, Locke believes that it is natural to concentrate resources on his own research group, and the resources of his research group’s students naturally cannot be withheld by certain people.

Witch Barbara and the others nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The three of them were also victims of corruption in the Six Towers. Therefore, when they heard that Locke was going to seek justice for the students, they naturally felt the same way and became more respectful of Locke.

After a moment of stunned silence, the students cheered again and thanked Locke.

Montgomery smiled and said to the students, “Now that your benefits have improved, you should work harder. Although everyone is very happy today, we have to work even harder now that we have reached the finals. So, we won’t have a day off today, so continue with the experiment.”

“We must strive to produce the finished product as quickly as possible.”

The students were all very motivated at this moment and none of them refused.

Montgomery said to Locke, “In the past week or so, we have also produced five subspecies of Chain Vine, but I know the number is still not enough.”

“Including the other first-level magic plant subspecies you created this week, we currently have seven Chain Magic Vine subspecies, five at the apprentice level, and you personally created two first-level subspecies.”

Montgomery said: “I think we should speed up. I am currently trying to optimize my thinking to see how to speed up the breeding of subspecies.”

“I want to cultivate a subspecies by grafting the fast-growing magic plant [Fast-growing Vine]. Also, Boss Locke, could you please ask the Plutarch family for permission to use the elemental pool? With the elemental pool, a powerful tool unique to the Six Towers, we can accelerate the catalysis of the magic plant and increase our cultivation speed.”

Locke nodded: “Okay, I’ll try it.”

Tacitus said: “I intend to optimize our speed by adjusting the division of labor among the students.”

Barbara spread her hands. “Hmm… I’m thinking about how to optimize it. Unlike you two, who are so quick-witted, I haven’t figured out how to optimize it yet.”

Everyone was amused by Witch Barbara’s words.

The atmosphere in their research group gradually improved, conflicts began to disappear, and everyone became friends.

Even Tacitus and Barbara the witch, who had the worst relationship with each other, became close at this moment.

As Alicia said, sometimes doing nothing is the right thing to do. Believing in the team’s ability to self-correct may also be a good choice.

Of course, this only applies to two newcomers in management.

For newcomers to management, the more they try to manage, the more chaotic the situation will become. It is better not to make any efforts, and the conflicts will disappear on their own.

…

The Land of Six Towers, the Mage Plane, and the City of the Mage Saint Hall.

The wizard plane has two suns. At this time, the great wizard Sura turned the entire city of the Holy Hall of Magic into puppets, and then talked to Alicia.

He was surprised to learn from Alicia that the team led by Locke had actually passed the Yunze Cup preliminaries.

Great Wizard Sura’s face immediately showed surprise, and even a shrewd and calculating man like him was a little stunned. “Passed?”

The Great Wizard Sura knew his own abilities. He hadn’t originally had any hope for Locke’s participation in the Yunze Cup; he was simply making false promises to win over the crowd. “He actually made it past the preliminaries and placed sixth!”

“He uses wizards from the Six Towers?”

Alicia asked in confusion, “Grandfather, why do you seem to have no confidence in the wizards of the Six Towers? He only uses civilian wizards from the Six Towers.”

The Great Wizard Sura was silent for a while, then he said three times in succession, “Okay, okay, okay.”

Great Wizard Sura whispered, “I was originally thinking about how to quickly increase your prestige. I had hoped to secretly guide you, teach you how to balance the interests of all parties and win over your confidants. As long as you spend about ten years, you will eventually be able to establish a certain prestige.”

“But I didn’t expect that there is a simpler solution right in front of you. Alicia, your choice to support this wizard is very good. I think you are a good person to be the head of the family.”

Alicia hesitated. “Grandfather, Locke and I are just friends. And I didn’t choose him; he saved me. I wanted to thank him at first, but later I realized that he and I had a lot in common in Potions and could make progress together.”

Great Wizard Sura waved his hand and said, “That’s irrelevant. You’re talking about minor details. Since you’ve won, I’m going to invest more in him and try to get him a good result in the finals. Even just a top place would be great. If he can get third place… that would be a huge boost to your prestige and would be very helpful.”

Great Wizard Sura said, “I really underestimated him before. He was able to defeat the qualifiers with the civilian wizards of my Six Towers. His ability is amazing.”

“That group of civilian wizards is leaderless. Although there are indeed some talented individuals among them, they are used to fighting alone and find it difficult to work together. Naturally, their abilities are extremely limited.”

Great Wizard Sura said, “It seems I must raise my opinion of your friend to a higher level. He can no longer be expendable.”
