Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 588

Chapter 585 The judges were shocked!

Locke officially began on stage. “Hello, fellow judges and wizards. First, let me explain that my project is analyzing the pathways by which 26 bromeliad-like magical plants affect the reproductive capacity of 26 magical creatures. My goal is to identify common ecological niches for bromeliad-like magical plants through high-throughput analysis of these plants.”

The three wizard judges in the audience lowered their heads at the same time and were looking through the final report and other relevant materials submitted by Locke.

Sith, a Sun Ring wizard of Golden Crown Mountain, wiped his eyes and looked up at Locke in surprise. He had just recently returned to the wizarding world from a colonial plane, so he didn’t know the two newcomers to the Advanced Academy of True Knowledge who joined Golden Crown Mountain half a year ago.

Only then did the Sith wizard reveal a look of surprise.

Analyzing 26 species of air plants at once is a significant and even surprising feat.

Even for researchers at the Academy of Advanced Knowledge, this achievement is impressive. Not every generation of super geniuses at the Academy of Advanced Knowledge is so outstanding.

Such a genius only appears every few generations.

Sis George read the data in the document, nodded slightly, and discussed privately in a low voice: “The key data is very detailed and does not seem to be aimless.”

The second-ring wizard of the Rose Council lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, “I remember now. Locke Augustine was one of the four first-ring wizards who made a big splash at the True Love Festival, a special festival promoted by our Rose Council.”

“Champion of the Yunze Cup of Bonifacius University!”

The second-ring wizard whispered, “So it’s him.”

There was a mixture of emotions in his eyes.

Master Miledi from Casillas University of the Arts made an exaggerated gesture, covering his mouth with his hands, using such an exaggerated gesture to express his emotions.

“Boom! Boom! The curves are crazy, the data is explosive! Surprise!”

“Little Locke, I support you!”

Locke continued calmly describing his research to the judges, saying, “According to my research, all 26 species of air plants are connected to some kind of magical insect or the reproductive power of ultra-microscopic creatures, forming a symbiotic relationship.”

“Therefore, I boldly speculate that the ecological niche of air pineapple magical plants in the natural environment is to form a symbiotic relationship with certain small insects and ultra-small magical animals, providing a habitat for small insects and magical creatures.”

“It’s a typical micro-ecosystem.”

“One-fifth of these 26 air pine plants disprove previous theories linking air pine plants to the fertility of certain magical creatures. This theory generally mistakenly attributes this to a phenomenon where certain bird-like magical creatures ingest the magical insects within air pine plants, resulting in increased fertility.”

Locke said, “So, I think we can investigate those articles that claim that air plants like Tillandsia are related to the fertility of avian magical creatures. Perhaps a large part of their conclusions are wrong.”

“Of course, my team and I will need to conduct more research on air pineapple plants to prove this logical relationship.”

Sis George nodded. He followed Locke’s speech and quickly read Locke’s article. “Although this conclusion is somewhat arbitrary, judging by the experimental data he conducted, it’s not impossible.”

The second-ring wizard of the Rose Council laughed bitterly. “I have a researcher at the Academy of True Knowledge who graduated with a research project on the symbiotic relationship between bromeliad magical plants and a magical bird. That was many years ago, but if his conclusions are correct, then my student’s article…”

“All journals related to that article must retract their papers.”

Cece George murmured, “That’s just Locke’s inference.”

The second-ring wizard from the Rose Council said, “But judging by these data, his inference is very likely to be reasonable.”

Sith George nodded. “Analyzing the symbiotic relationships between 26 air plants and magical creatures at once will indeed give him a certain intellectual advantage. He can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the ecological niche of air plants within the natural world and formulate corresponding considerations.”

“His conclusion can save a lot of effort in future related research. I think that with more experimental data, this conclusion can be published in a first-level and first-zone journal.”

Everyone nodded.

Sith looked at Locke with satisfaction. “This researcher has finally demonstrated the level of excellence our Golden Crown Mountain possesses.”

He glanced at Master Milady and the second-ring wizards of the Rose Council and smiled.

Master Miledy gave Locke a thumbs up, while the second-ring wizard of the Rose Council had a complicated expression, and his look was not very good.

The audience had complicated thoughts.

Locke said, “In addition to this, I also discovered seven previously unknown natural magical structures during this research.”

“The first one is…”

As soon as these words were spoken, the second-ring wizard of the Rose Council showed disbelief in his eyes. He looked up at Locke, glanced at him puzzledly, and then quickly flipped to the corresponding chapter.

“No way. One, two, three… seven kinds. Doesn’t that mean seven chapters of Qingcao Yunze?”

The second-ring wizard was taken aback by his own words. “Can I use up all the pages in next month’s Qingcao Yunze journal?”

Team leader Celtic murmured, “If seven articles a month is too much, then we can publish them one month at a time.”

The two-ringed moon wizard glared at Celt.

At this time, even Sis George was a little confused. He remained silent and read the relevant content about the seven new natural magic structure components.

“That’s seven.”

“He actually discovered at least seven natural magic structure components in a second-class fund project.”

At that time, Master Milady, after a brief moment of reflection, said, “This young man is truly remarkable. He’s full of energy, like a fire, and he breaks the mold.”

Master Milady had seen far too many geniuses, especially those students at the Casillas University of the Arts who claimed to be artists. They all claimed to be geniuses, and some of them did have a bit of talent.

Those who can enter Casillas University of the Arts are the most talented artists.

In the field of art, the gap in talent is even more obvious.

Therefore, after a brief silence, Master Miledi’s first reaction was to make fun of Locke in the form of rap and slightly exaggerate him.

Sith looked at the gloomy-faced second-ring wizard from the Rose Council standing beside him. He looked at the second-ring wizard with confusion. “Rogge, is something wrong?”

“Is there something wrong with the data?”

Because Locke had discovered so much in a second-class fund project, Sith remained wary of it.

But Rogge, the second-ring wizard of the Rose Council, did not respond at all. He just looked at Locke’s information with a very gloomy face.

Watch a clip of it.

There seemed to be a storm hidden in his eyes.

At that time, Master Miledy, who had been keeping relaxed and treating the defense with a normal mind, glanced at the second-ring wizard of the Rose Council, and then looked at the clip he was watching. The next moment, the casualness and laughter on Wizard Miledy’s face disappeared in an instant.

Wizard Miledi was like a sleeping lion that had just woken up. He glanced at Locke with an extremely serious look, while reading the passage describing Overlord Element No. 2 to Locke.

Locke continued, “Among the seven natural magic power components, I discovered Overlord Element No. 2…”

It was 20 minutes later when Locke finished speaking.

Locke glanced at the alchemy clock at the back of the conference room and frowned slightly. He had tried his best to compress the content and speed up his speech.

But because there was so much content, I ended up exceeding the 15 minutes allotted for my speech.

Fortunately, no one was there to stop me.

At this time, none of the three wizards on the judges’ panel spoke, as if they had forgotten that it was their turn to ask questions.

Sith looked at Master Milady, who had suddenly grown serious, and the sullen Second Ring wizard from the Rose Council. Seeing that they were still hesitant to ask questions, he asked himself, “Can you tell me how you discovered seven previously undiscovered natural magical structures? You only took a few months to complete this project, right? That seems unlikely given the timeframe.”

Locke had anticipated this. “Witch Ekaterina believes I possess the super-intuitive abilities of the dragon race, so I possess a talent for quickly finding the direction of new discoveries.”

Sith was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, “Is it the same talent as Lord Throne when he was young? That’s really rare.”

“No wonder. If it’s super intuition, then everything would make sense. Your project is incredibly well-executed. Even without the three of us judging it, it would definitely pass…”

“Even if I ask some more minor questions about the details, it would only be a waste of time. Since this matter has already been approved by the throne, then…”

At that moment, Rogge, the second-ring wizard of the Rose Council, who was standing beside him, suddenly looked at Locke and asked, “Overlord Element No. 2? Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? When using the three magic mirrors to observe the structure of natural magic, sometimes mistakes can lead to erroneous discoveries…”

The second-ring wizard seemed to feel that his statement was not convincing enough, so he added: “I think your research on the No. 2 hegemony factor is not sufficient. More experiments are needed to prove it.”

“You need to do more experiments to supplement your data.”

At this moment, Sith looked at him doubtfully.

And Master Milady saw through something and glanced at him.

Locke immediately noticed the other party’s suppression of his No. 2 Overlord Element.

Indeed, this second-ring wizard of the Rose Council has invested a lot in the research of overlord breeding, that is, he has invested a lot in the research of Overlord Element No. 1, and has established his own technical barriers, team barriers and equipment barriers.

However, the emergence of Overlord No. 2, which appears to have better comprehensive capabilities than Overlord No. 1, will instantly break down part of the barriers of his research group that he has built over the years.

This led to the second-ring wizard dealing with the matter directly with a resistance mentality.

The other party even wanted to suppress his research content, block his completion, and delay the publication of Overlord No. 2.

Although Locke believed that this was almost impossible.

Locke said calmly, “Lord Roger, I have used the Queen’s Chessboard to study the properties of Overlord Element No. 2 at the Force level and compared it with Overlord Element No. 1.”

“The toxicity of No. 2 Overlord is much less than that of No. 1 Overlord, but its enhancement is more comprehensive.”

“It will have wider applicability.”

“Also, I have used the Queen’s Chessboard to create a cell complex of Overlord No. 2 and completed the first Overlord breeding using Overlord No. 2.”

“So you’re saying my experiments were inadequate, which I think is totally unreasonable.”

The second-ring wizard of the Rose Council was about to scold Locke when he saw him being so neither humble nor arrogant, but he found that he really couldn’t find any reason.

What’s more, there are a second-ring wizard and a third-ring wizard from the wizard organization next to them.

Moreover, he did not expect that Locke was so well prepared that he not only used the three magic mirrors, but also the Queen’s chessboard to complete the key experiment of Overlord No. 2 and produce the cell complex.

Using the Queen’s Chessboard once costs a million magic stones.

Does a mere first-ring wizard like him have this much money?

The second-ring wizard of the Rose Council immediately thought that Locke should have earned 6.5 million magic stones on the True Love Festival.

This amount of money makes many second-ring wizards envious.

So, he must have the money.

Rogge’s eyes darkened. “I’ve invested so much in Overlord breeding technology, finally building up my team and setting up the framework, but now a little-known, low-level wizard has developed Overlord Factor No. 2!”

“Then all the technical barriers I set up before are gone. What should I do? How can I stop the release of this No. 2 Overlord Element!”

Rogge looked at the information, trying to find logical loopholes or data flaws. He hoped so much that he would find out that Locke had falsified the data, but the more he looked, the angrier he became.

Because he knew that all this was true!
At this moment, Roger was about to speak, but Master Milady glanced at him with a stern look.

Master Milady turned serious, a rare occurrence. “Locke Augustine, you are truly an outstanding child. I never thought that a small defense as a First Ring Wizard would make me take it so seriously.”

At this time, Master Milady showed his usual experimental state, instead of his state as a troubadour star.

Master Miledy asked, “You said before that you had completed the first cultivation using Overlord Element No. 2.”

“Well, could you please show it to me? Don’t worry, I completely believe what you’re saying. I just want to take a look.”

Locke saluted Master Miledy, then summoned Overlord Sea Sand from the Star Ring.

As soon as Overlord Sea Sand appeared, its extremely powerful second-ring characteristics immediately attracted the attention of the high-ring wizards present.

The figure of the wizard Miledi disappeared from his seat and appeared next to Locke. He nodded at Locke, then walked to the side of the Overlord Sea Sands and observed him carefully.

Then, Wizard Milady smiled. “Beautiful! Your Overlord Sea Sand has a unique aesthetic. This aesthetic has been influenced by Witch Catherine, but the essence is still yours.”

“Not bad, really good.”

Wizard Miledy stroked the leaves of Locke’s Tyrannosaurus Rex, as if admiring a work of art. “Locke, can you give me a Tyrannosaurus Rex afterward? I can buy it directly.”

“I think in the future, there will be a large number of wizards who are doing related research and will buy your Tyrannosaurus from you.”

“Young man. Congratulations.”
