Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 589

Chapter 586: War disguised as a competition!

Faced with Wizard Miledi’s request, Locke was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was caused by the perspectives of the three-ring wizard and the one-ring wizard.

For a first-ring wizard, the most important thing is making money. For a third-ring wizard, the most important thing is also making money, but in addition to making money, there is also academic development.

The strength of a small field of study can directly affect whether they can be awarded the throne and become a four-ring wizard.

In some weaker minor disciplines, the highest achievement is only at the Sun Ring level, so it is completely unable to help a three-ring wizard be selected as a throne wizard.

Therefore, when a three-ring wizard develops some new technology or new materials, he basically has to balance making money and gaining fame, as well as making an overall contribution to the development of the discipline.

But for me, the most important thing is to make money.

Although it is impossible for Overlord No. 2 to completely overthrow the market of Overlord No. 1, the special combination of magic plant species, rich existing technology chain, and numerous practitioners of Overlord No. 1 are all its advantages.

But No. 2 Overlord Element can indeed tear off a piece of fat from the overlord cultivation method.

Therefore, the most important thing for me at the moment is not to sell the King Pineapple, as that would give up a large part of the profits to other wizards.

The most important thing is to use Overlord Extract to develop your own Overlord Magic Plant and launch a series of Overlord Magic Plant products.

Similarly, he could sell some Overlord Element that had been successfully extracted and provide those wizards with Overlord Element No. 2 to carry out the Overlord Cultivation Method.

Of course, this needs to be done in moderation.

Because if we do this, objectively speaking, it will also help Overlord Element No. 1 to prepare in advance for the impact of Overlord Element No. 2.

If I were to make Overlord No. 2 public right now, everyone would be able to use Overlord No. 2.

At that moment, the stock price of No. 1 Overlord Su in the entire market will fall, and I don’t know how many shareholders and practitioners will hate me.

But doing so will not benefit him, as he does not have a dominant production line and does not have a second product other than Haijinsha.

If you do this yourself, you are still creating the cake and giving the meat to others.

There was no way he could win when competing against a team of breeders that had two-ring wizards or even three-ring masters.

Therefore, the most beneficial thing for him at present is to license the No. 2 Overlord Element to other wizards who are interested in cooperation, let the Gaohuan Wizard’s research team develop it for him, and he will take advantage of the opportunity to launch his own series of No. 2 Overlord Magic Plants.

In this way, you can take advantage of your first-mover advantage and pioneer advantage to maximize your benefits and reduce your stress.

Otherwise, with so many wizards losing money in the stock market, I alone cannot withstand so much hostility.

Locke repeated his thoughts to Wizard Miledi.

Suddenly, the second-ring wizard of the Rose Council in the judges’ seats breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was Locke, who, in order to gain fame, directly disclosed the seeds of the Tyrannosaurus Rex – a practice that first-ring wizards were very likely to do.

But now Locke wants to cooperate with the High Ring Wizard to develop the marginal value of Overlord No. 2, which means that his team still has time to cope with the market impact.

If that’s the case, there’s really no need for him to get too emotional.

The second-ring wizard from the Rose Council sat in his seat, still a bit confused. “I had hoped this would allow my research group to produce some results and articles to help us apply for the Young Cadres Fund.”

“But now we’ve been assaulted like this by this young First Ring wizard. It’s a shame our ship is too big to turn around. We’ve already got the equipment, personnel, and various plans ready.”

The second-level wizard looked at Locke’s final report and read the information about Overlord Element No. 2. He calmed down. “Although there have been some setbacks in our life, there’s no need for our research team to change course. Overlord Element No. 2 doesn’t completely crush Overlord Element No. 1; it’s just slightly superior.”

“But Overlord Supplement No. 1 has a first-mover advantage and a mature industrial chain.” The Moon Ring Wizard quickly made a judgment. “There’s no need to change course, nor is there any need to switch research areas from Overlord Supplement No. 1 to Overlord Supplement No. 2.”

“Currently, there’s only one successfully cultivated magical plant for the No. 2 Overlord Supplement, and the technology is still in its infancy. While it’s impressive that a First Ring Wizard could achieve this, it’s still powerless against the mature market behind the No. 1 Overlord Supplement. At least for the next fifty years, this shouldn’t be a major problem.”

“After all, there’s only one example of a successfully transformed one-ring magic plant using Overlord Element No. 2.”

Sis George, who was standing by, saw this scene. He was not an expert in overlord cultivation, so he did not realize that the impact of Overlord Element No. 2 on the overlord cultivation market would be so huge.

I just thought it was a slightly special natural magic component structure.

But when he saw the attitude of the two experts in the small field of Overlord Cultivation, he immediately realized that Overlord No. 2 was not simple.

Sis George looked at Locke with admiration and at Team Leader Celtic with surprise. “Strange! I’m the right-hand man of the Queen, and I’ve personally trained many researchers for her. Why isn’t such an outstanding talent assigned to our Team 2 first?”

“Especially our Group 2’s research project is currently facing serious difficulties, and we need talented people right now.”

On the stage at the defense meeting, Master Miledy smiled. “Oh, is that so? I wonder if I could collaborate with you? I have a research team specializing in Overlord cultivation technology. We’ve raised the current state of Overlord cultivation technology from the original Star Ring-level Magic Plant to Moon Ring-level Magic Plant. Our achievements in the Yunze Wetlands have attracted worldwide attention.”

“If you reach a cooperation with my research group, then you, little Locke, can also obtain a huge amount of funds.”

Master Miledy said, “Furthermore, advancing the Hegemony cultivation method based on Hegemony Element No. 2 requires a lot of resources.”

Master Milady gestured. “It’s absolutely impossible to fight alone.”

“I can give you a licensing fee, a monthly fee. If the No. 2 Overlord Element system is established, you will gain huge fame! I’m really optimistic about your future, little Locke!”

Locke knew this, too.

From the beginning, he was not stupid enough to develop the overlord technology by himself. This approach was completely inconsistent with his need for money and resume.

Locke said cautiously to Master Milady, “Master, regarding this, I need to consult my co-mentor, Witch Ekaterina, before I can give you an answer.”

This was an invitation from a third-ring wizard, so he could only ask his teacher to come forward, because at the level of a high-ring wizard, there were many things he didn’t understand.

It is too dangerous for a low-level wizard to directly cooperate with a wizard who is five levels lower than him.

Master Milady said, “Witch Ekaterina and I are good friends. Perhaps I can ask her if Golden Crown Mountain and Casiros University can jointly train you.”

“Alright. I think no judges will object to your defense this time. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful defense.”

Wizard Milady laughed.

Locke breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he did not submit an application for the first-class fund project because he had not yet decided whether to develop more analysis of the mechanism of action of pineapple-type magical plants in the future, or to focus on in-depth overlord cultivation technology.

Both routes can apply for the first-class fund project of the Institute of Zhenzhi.

But he must choose a route that will benefit him the most, and his greatest benefit at the moment is to become a second-ring wizard.

So, he was thinking about which path to take next.

Therefore, he needs to spend some time to sort out the future development direction, and then apply for the first-class project fund of Zhenzhi Academy.

After Locke saluted the judges, he left the meeting room. At the same time, he saw that many wizard representatives from the store alliance followed him.

But this time Locke didn’t stop, but left quickly.

I have a stable cooperation with Alsace and have gained fame.

If there is a second product, it can be sold in Alsace and a contract can be signed with Alsace. There is no need to discuss cooperation with other store alliances.

Those store alliances that are not strong enough go bankrupt every year. If you rashly cooperate with them, you will be the one who gets cheated.

Locke saw Team Leader Celtic and followed him, immediately walking with him into a corridor and into an empty classroom.

Team leader Celt came forward and congratulated Locke, saying, “Locke, congratulations on passing the second-class funding project of the Zhenzhi Academy.”

“You asked me to help you check your opponent for the Spell Combat Competition. I urgently asked a former student of mine from another campus in Jinman Mountain, a First Ring Wizard, to spend some time to help you sort out the information.”

“This isn’t a good situation. You have a lot of competitors in this class.”

Locke looked at Team Leader Celtic and said, “Thank you, Team Leader. But what happened?”

Team Leader Celtic found a seat and sat down, saying, “As you know, for a wizard to break through the second ring, they must cross the soul limit a second time. This requires a lot of resources, even a certain amount of luck, and years of hard work.”

“The Spell Combat Tournament is related to the Silent Grail Plane Conquest Tournament. Many wizards who have been stuck at the first ring for years see this as an opportunity. But those people are just letting it go. It’s just a gambler’s mentality, not worth mentioning.”

Team leader Celtic looked at Locke and said, “The key point is the two types of people I mentioned below. The reward for the Silent Holy Grail Plane Conquest Tournament is a brand new plane coordinate. Therefore, this will attract two types of people to participate in related competitions.”

“The first type is a true genius, someone who doesn’t want to allow any flaws in their immense magic.”

“The second type is people with a strong background who don’t have to worry about colonization opportunities in ordinary colonization planes, but they need the coordinates of a completely new colonization plane.”

The Celtic team leader said: “This time, there is a wizard with a very deep background – Antoine Fischer.”

“His magic pressure has reached the first-ring limit of 9999. He is also a senior researcher at the Jinman Mountain Zhenzhi Academy under the five mentors. But he didn’t get in through exams. His father is a third-ring wizard. Most importantly, he is a member of the Senate.”

“The Fischer family is one of the founding members of the Council of Elders, and their family background is very strong. Antoine Fischer is a wizard promoted by the Fischer family to seize the opportunity to participate in the Silent Holy Grail Plane Conquest Tournament.”

“I heard that for this competition, the Fischer family prepared a large number of magic weapons, spell scrolls, and high-level magic wands for him.”

“He even hired a second-ring wizard to use extreme magic to temper his magic pressure.”

Locke’s eyes showed doubt.

Seeing that he didn’t understand, Team Leader Celt stretched out his left hand, and a stalk of emerald green vetiver appeared in his hand. The seeds on the surface of the vetiver fell off, and instantly the stalk of grass turned into a group of grasses.

Vetiver continues to multiply and transform into a grassland.

Locke immediately realized that it was the Celtic team leader’s great magic.

In an instant, the vast demonic pressure was like a sun descending in front of him. He felt like a person without outer clothes in snowy weather, feeling the biting cold.

In order to resist this pressure, his own magic pressure can only be continuously condensed, and his own permanent defense force field automatically compresses to resist this biting feeling.

“Is this the ultimate magic? This is the first time a wizard has used ultimate magic on me, but it’s just a trigger, and I’m actually feeling a sense of despair.” Locke’s eyes seemed to reflect a vast expanse of geological grassland.

It forms a line with the blue sky in the distance.

The total amount of demonic pressure cannot even be calculated by individual living organisms, but can only be measured by the total amount of demonic pressure of natural phenomena.

One wizard is equal to an entire region!
This is a second-ring wizard.

Team Leader Celt said, “You see, the extreme magic of a second-ring wizard puts immense pressure on a first-ring wizard. In the face of my extreme magic, you can only automatically compress your permanent defense field for self-preservation. This can bring you two benefits. First, it will help you progress rapidly and increase your magic pressure.”

“Secondly, let your magic pressure become extremely condensed under the pressure of the magical tidal wind caused by my great magic. This can slightly increase your chances of advancing to the second ring. But the greatest improvement will come during combat!”

“If you could constantly adapt to the suppression of an ordinary second-ring wizard’s powerful magical radiation, wouldn’t you have a clear advantage in battles with those of the same level?!”

“It’s like standing outside a high place and looking down to the low places.”

Team leader Celtic put away his powerful magic and looked up to see Locke looking at him with a surprised look. “What’s wrong, little Locke?”

Locke shook his head slightly. “Nothing. I didn’t expect you, Team Leader, to be so capable.”

Team Leader Celtic immediately puffed out his chest. “Of course. I’m your direct supervisor after all!”

He felt that he had gained some ‘admiration’ from Locke and became very happy.

“Although I don’t have the conditions to obtain a flawless world stone, I can only use a medium-level world stone from the wizard organization I originally came from to become a second-ring wizard.”

This was the first time Locke heard Team Leader Celtic mention his past. “I thought you were from Golden Crown Mountain, Team Leader.”

Team Leader Celtic shook his head. “I’m not. I came from the medium-sized wizarding organization, Serene Garden, but Serene Garden has been disbanded now because of… the Abyssal War. There was also a war in the Three Lakes, but ours was a war on a different plane.”

“If I were a wizard born in Mount Golden Crown, would I be so unconfident? No, let’s get back to the point.” The Celtic team leader coughed and said, “Antoine Fischer is the one nominated by the Senate to compete for the right to participate in the Plane Conquest Tournament.”

“He enjoys the baptism of the great magic of a second-ring wizard every day. This kind of luxury is simply impossible for ordinary people to obtain.”

“Besides that, there’s also a third-generation member of the Academic Committee competing. It’s impossible for the Inspection Deacons to not react, so they’ve also put forward one.”

“Besides that, you have a large number of demonic forces that are 9999’s match. They are genuine researchers of the Institute of True Knowledge. Although they don’t have a deep background, they have the talent to compete with you.”

“Also, the Sports Festival will not only feature participants from Golden Crown Mountain. The essence of the Sports Festival is Golden Crown Mountain’s declaration of force against the major wizarding organizations nearby.”

“Therefore, on that day, a large number of wizards from other wizard organizations, all of whom are wizard geniuses with a magic pressure of 9999, will be trained with the power of their entire schools, just to use you, the proud children of Golden Crown Mountain, to make a name for yourself on that day.”

Locke thought for a moment. “So, the Sports Festival is a different kind of show of force for Mount Golden Crown?”

Team Leader Celtic nodded. “You can understand it that way. So, don’t take the Spell Combat Tournament lightly, thinking it’s just an ordinary competition. I have the utmost faith in your research abilities and your super-intuition. But the Spell Combat Tournament is no ordinary competition, it’s… a war!”

“Because too many people died in face-to-face wars, wars have been transformed into invisible sports. So-called sports competitions, in our Yunze Wetland, are exactly this kind of thing.”

“Locke, you are going to compete with the younger generation of wizards from our Golden Crown Mountain Region and win by force. Are you really ready for this?!”
