Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 591

Chapter 588: Section 1 of Chapter 8 and Section 2 of Chapter 28

Chapter 588: Eight Chapters in Area One, Twenty-Eight Chapters in Area Two
A week later, Locke received thank-you letters from “Green Grass and Clouds” and “Life and Reproduction”, along with two journals.

There are also eight water jade peaches and 28 white dew peaches.

It’s a pity that the synthesis level of Shuiyu Peach and Bailu Peach is too high. They are both counted as level 9 synthesis items, and Locke is unable to synthesize them.

This may be because the Twelve Peaches of Golden Crown Mountain were cultivated by the high-ring wizards of Golden Crown Mountain.

Locke was in the dormitory, looking at the thank-you letter he received, and then flipping through the two issues of this magazine.

This issue of Life and Reproduction almost becomes its own standalone volume.

Half of the articles in this issue of “Qingcao Yunze” are his own, and the front page of the journal is even his own No. 2 Overlord Su article.

Before, I had consulted the witch Ekaterina, and she said that for the time being, I should not sign an authorization agreement with any wizard privately, and she would find someone to make arrangements for me in this regard.

After all, once Overlord No. 2 appeared, it really knocked down the stock prices of several small shop alliances that made their livings around Overlord No. 1 and Overlord Cultivation Method.

These small and medium-sized store alliances have low risk resistance and are far inferior to store alliances of the size of Frankfurt and Alsace.

Now that I’m in this situation again, it’s simply adding insult to injury.

Therefore, in order to prevent some store alliances from going bankrupt and going to extremes, this matter requires the intervention of Witch Catherine to coordinate.

Locke quickly finished reading the two journals with great interest. After this, he felt that he had gained some fame in Golden Crown Mountain and had temporarily established a firm foothold.

Locke put down the journal in his hand, looked at Gregor and Williams, and said, “There’s something I have to tell you, I forgot about it before. Because I want to publish in Zone 2 and earn contribution points, I gave you 14 first-author papers in Zone 2 journals, Gregor, and 14 first-author papers in Zone 2 journals, Williams.”

Williams and Gregor swallowed.

Gregor was completely bewildered, while Williams was even a little terrified.

Williams tilted his head and gave Locke an adorable look of disbelief. “But… Teacher… we’re not even first-ring wizards…”

Locke said, “If the corresponding author is a first-ring wizard, it’s actually possible to submit. After all, there are no journals during the apprenticeship stage.”

“Don’t worry about the ethics review committee. You two did more or less work with me on the experimental parts of these 28 articles.”

“Even if you don’t have any credit, you’ve worked hard. So, there’s nothing wrong with this matter.”

Williams didn’t expect that she worked day and night to help Locke with his work, but who knew that Locke would directly give her 14 Zone 2 journals.

And they’re all first authors!
Although the combination of the first author being an apprentice and the corresponding author being a wizard in the first ring crystallization stage makes it obvious to anyone with a discerning eye who actually wrote these articles.

But these 14 articles in the second zone are indeed a huge qualification for an ordinary wizard apprentice like them!

The huge surprise came out of nowhere, even making Williams a little dazed.

She couldn’t believe that before she entered the door, she was just an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice whose magic pressure was about to reach 800, but after leaving today, she was a first-class wizard apprentice who had published 14 articles in the second district journals.

Williams pursed his lips. “Teacher, aren’t all those who published a lot of articles during their apprenticeship period like this?”

Locke said, “I’m not sure. I’m not a local wizard from Yunze Wetland, so I don’t have a good grasp of these details. I think there must be a few wizards who are truly geniuses.”

“Because I need to find a first author, and I don’t want to be the first author, I can only give the article to you.”

This is an extremely special situation.

This situation is so special and rare that I need a second-zone article but don’t need the title of the first author.

Moreover, he only has these two direct students under him.

If you have more than a dozen students, then each of them can be assigned one article, and it will be no problem for everyone.

It’s just that there are fewer students now, so each of them is responsible for 14 articles.

Gregor realized it later, a sense of unreality. “Thank you, teacher.”

“You’ve been so kind to us.”

Locke said, “Your magic pressure has been growing at a good rate recently, and now you have so many articles. Also, congratulations, your final apprentice competition results are out.”

“Gregor, you’re ranked 22nd. Are you happy? You gave it your all and you’re very strong. It’s worth my time coaching you.”

“As for Williams… you are seventh.” Locke looked at Williams deeply. Even with his help, her ability to get seventh place should not be underestimated.

Because the top six are all “old repeaters” who have participated in the competition for many years.

Especially the top three, each of them calls themselves the X-Crown King.

In essence, they are all old first-class wizard apprentices who are repeating the competition.

With his help, Williams was able to reach seventh place in the entire Yunze Wetland, which was an amazing result.

Locke said, “In that case, you should strive to be the candidate for the wizard seed of Golden Crown Mountain this year.”

Williams’ eyes lit up. “Thank you, teacher.”

Gregor, however, looked at me with a look of disbelief. “But, teacher, a wizard seed candidate needs at least 800 mana…”

Locke looked at him and said, “The average exchange rate for the apprentice-level wizard secret realm in Jinmaon Mountain is around 1,500 contribution points. I just published 28 journals in the second zone and 8 journals in the first zone, so I have a lot of contribution points. I was originally planning to exchange them for a colonization license.”

In fact, according to his original plan, he could now gather 34,400 contribution points. He could then use these 28 Zone 2 journals and 8 Zone 1 journals to exchange for a colonization license, and could immediately go to the plane to attempt to create great magic.

But ever since Wizard Hayes told him that the colonization license could only be exchanged for planes that had been reused by other wizards, Locke no longer had much desire for it.

If you have extra contribution points in the future, you can indeed exchange it for one card. After all, each first-ring wizard is limited to one exchange.

It would be a waste if you don’t exchange it yourself. It’s also good for practicing.

But now this matter is no longer the most urgent. I can use these contribution points to exchange for some alchemy information, complete the fourth round of ladder tests, and find some information to enhance my combat effectiveness.

With so many contribution points, you can exchange them for some good information.

At the same time, Locke prepared to exchange an apprentice-level secret realm for each of them.

As a wizard mentor, he has the authority to share the apprentice-level secret realm he has with these two apprentices.

Since he currently has sufficient funds and contribution points, there is no need to save money in this regard in order to help them become official wizards quickly.

Locke said, “I’m going to exchange an apprentice-level wizard secret realm for each of you!”

Williams and Gregor’s eyes were excited.

Williams immediately realized that she was extremely lucky to have followed a powerful wizard mentor.

If she were like her best friend and followed the wizard mentor named Daniel, that would be really miserable.

I don’t have any resources, and I still have to borrow money from her…

Locke said, “I just have something to ask you. Are you two planning to use the defensive magic of botany as a permanent defensive force field to advance to become official wizards?”

“In that case, what kind of permanent defense field are you planning to choose? Now that you two are here, we need to start thinking about this.”

Seeing the confused looks in their eyes, Locke immediately realized that they were still confused about the permanent defensive force field, so he explained it briefly.

Williams finally understood. “Thank you, teacher, for teaching us about the Persistent Defense Field.”

Locke said: “You can also find out by reading books in the library.”

“So, this question concerns your future development… I want to know what kind of defensive magic you would like to choose. Gregor, do you have a favorite?”
