Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 765

Chapter 762, Sixth Wizard Shoe: Black Hummingbird Pineapple

In the plantation of the Arthas Shop Alliance in the Golden Crown Mountain region, Scarlett the Witch adjusted her glasses and looked at the yellow-black hummingbird pineapples that Locke had borrowed from their plantation and cultivated over five days.

At this moment, in the fifty acres of magical fields before them, a hundred slightly different hummingbird pineapples had all been lifted from the soil and were floating slightly in the air.

Then, as Locke chanted a spell, a field of lightning spread outwards from him. Immediately afterward, a part of each hummingbird pineapple enveloped by this magical field flashed with light, all converging in mid-air to form a sphere of light.

Locke raised his left hand, moved his fingers, adjusted the information inside the sphere, and combined it into a complete set of plant essences that he had designed long ago.

An hour later, under Locke’s control of his magical magnetic field, the plant essence fell into the seed in his hand. The seed took root and sprouted in his palm, rapidly growing into a large, pure black hummingbird pineapple under the influence of the mossy wood marrow.

Locke chanted a spell, using the first-circle spell Model: Twin Magical Plants. One seed suddenly began to split, splitting into two halves.

One seed grew into two mature magical plants.

Scarlett the Witch, observing from the sidelines, held a blank notebook. Seeing this, she immediately began scribbling and drawing, then looked at Locke and asked, “Is this the level of a second-circle breeder?”

Locke replied, “No. This is just a normal improvement in my previous first-circle level finite element cultivation method and magic resonance cultivation method after becoming a second-circle wizard.”

“I haven’t yet mastered the general cultivation methods that a second-circle breeder should possess.”

“Redesigning the Hummingbird Pineapple was a plan I had before participating in the Silent Grail War, but I was busy with the competition and didn’t have time to redesign a set of magical plants.”

Locke had Scarlett put on the Hummingbird Pineapple wizard shoes. “Now that I’m a second-circle wizard, both efficiency and quality have improved.”

“I can do even better.”

Scarlett wore the black Hummingbird Pineapple shoes; the original Hummingbird Pineapple wizard shoes were mainly emerald green with colorful gradient edges, while these Hummingbird Pineapple shoes were pure black.

As the wizard’s shoes touched the ground, they emitted a black flash. Before Scarlett could react, she had already leaped into the air, soaring a hundred meters into the sky.

“This is flying? No, this is a jump with an extremely high reaction speed and altitude limit.”

Scarlett roughly assessed the characteristics of this magical plant in her mind, discovering that it was actually about 10% better than the Demon Realm Pineapple version of the Great Snow-Capped Pineapple.

However, the performance of the Demon Realm Pineapple wizard’s shoes was already comparable to the top-tier first-level wizard’s shoes in Cloud Swamp Wetlands, not inferior in any way to the wizard’s shoes designed by top-tier first-level magic weavers.

But now, the performance of this black version of the Great Hummingbird Pineapple was even superior to the Demon Realm Pineapple wizard’s shoes.

This meant…

Scarlett, wearing these wizard’s shoes, felt a sudden surge of unease. She looked at Locke with disbelief.

“These shoes might be the best first-ring shoes in Yunze Wetlands right now?”

Locke said unsurprised. “I’m not surprised. The Pineapple Wizard Shoes from the Demon Realm were just wizard shoes I made at the first-ring stage, and now I’m a second-ring wizard. At the same time, my evolutionary progress within the Silent Grail has been rapid, and with the help of great magic… I’ve combined various cultivation methods…”

At this moment, Locke opened his right hand, and a full moon appeared in his palm. The magic magnetic field and the magic sun, as well as the other three cultivation methods—the grafting healing spell model of the grafting cultivation method, the cutting growth spell model of the cutting cultivation method, and the hybridization spell model of the hybridization cultivation method—revolved around this moon.

Locke said, “I used my Lunar Cultivation Method to transfer the four energy-locking structures—the Tyrant Mark, the Pixiu Spiral Horn, the Glandular Root Sac, and the Moon Mark—to the Hummingbird Pineapple.”

“A total of one hundred plants were cultivated.”

“Each plant absorbed different information from the Tyrant Mark, Pixiu Spiral Horn, Glandular Root Sac, and Moon Mark within the Lunar Cultivation Method, resulting in slight differences. I used the Magical Frequency Cultivation Method to stimulate these one hundred pineapples, to find the slightly different plant factors in the shortest possible time and identify the best parts.”

The magical sun in Locke’s hand emitted light, constantly switching frequencies, pointing towards a Hummingbird Pineapple subspecies whose plant factors had been removed. Under the pressure of this magical sun, the subspecies’ branches and leaves curled up.

The Magical Frequency Cultivation Method is a cultivation method that can be continuously refined, never fully learned, and never completely created.

Locke had previously used a synthetic cube to synthesize numerous subspecies of the Hummingbird Pineapple, and thus, from the description, he knew many of the subspecies’ sensitive magical resonance frequencies.

Using this valuable information, he could use these sensitive magical resonance frequencies to test these subspecies.

The principle was that the stronger the subspecies, the less likely it was to die or undergo various changes within these sensitive magical resonance frequencies.

Using this shortcut, without any wizarding apprentices or formal wizards as help, Locke determined the key plant factors for these one hundred magical plants in just three days, then spent a day designing them, and finally, in just five days, using the finite element method to establish the [Sword Tomb], completed Scarlett’s sixth wizard shoe creation: the Black Hummingbird Pineapple! Scarlett

looked at the wizard shoes on her feet with a slight gasp of amazement.

“Even though you, Lord Augustine, are now a second-circle wizard, even a second-circle wizard wouldn’t be this efficient at crafting top-tier first-circle wizard shoes.”

“You identified the key plant factors for those subspecies of magical plants in the [Sword Tomb] so quickly, without any assistants…”

This step is the most time-consuming in the finite element cultivation method.

It usually requires a large number of apprentices and first-circle wizards to help.

Locke, however, because of the clues in the synthesis cube, fully developed the magical resonance cultivation method, turning it into a method of attacking the weaknesses of different parts and then finding the best-performing magical plants from the attacks. Using

this method, he skipped what would be pure, tedious work for a second-circle wizard.

Locke nodded and said, “I have no choice. I’m still just an ordinary second-circle wizard. I don’t have any capable assistants or many students. So I could only come up with a way to save my time.”

“Also, we are collaborators. Please use your old form of address to address me.”

Scarlett the witch gave Locke a deep look.

“Locke, you are truly a breeding genius. No one has ever imagined that using the magic resonance cultivation method, no one has ever designed a new and excellent magical plant so quickly.”

“Working with you has made me truly understand what genius is. Locke, I now have even more confidence in our shop alliance.”

Locke coughed.

“Scarlett, it’s not as exaggerated as you say.”

It’s no wonder Scarlett the Witch was so amazed. After all, with the help of the Synthetic Cube, she knew many key frequencies and plant factor positions under the Magical Frequency Cultivation Method and the Finite Element Cultivation Method in advance, which is why she could use the Magical Frequency Cultivation Method in this way.

This wasn’t actually a breakthrough in the upper limit,

but rather an improvement in efficiency.

But in Scarlett the Witch’s eyes, it was already astonishing.

Locke said, “If we have excellent students working with me, we can actually improve the magical plant performance of these wizard shoes by about 5%.”

This was true. While his unique method of cultivating magical resonance improved efficiency, it lacked precision.

It wasn’t as effective as having a large number of students, spending time painstakingly refining the process bit by bit.

This way, he could probably further improve the performance of the wizard’s shoes.

The key issue was that he was currently only an ordinary second-ring wizard with virtually no students. His only first-ring student, Williams, had already left Golden Crown Mountain.

However, even if she stayed, it wouldn’t be of much use.

Her involvement in the design and improvement of top-tier first-ring magical plants was limited; she could only do manual labor.

He would be better off having first-ring crystallized students to help.

Locke now understood more clearly why high-ring wizards needed so many students.

Scarlett the witch’s eyes flickered slightly when she heard Locke mention that it could also improve the performance of the wizard’s shoes.

“In that case, I’ll arrange the production line for you immediately. We expect to launch the new products in about a week.”

“Those two shop alliances are watching your progress.”

“But they’re going to be disappointed now,”

Scarlett the Witch said. “Locke, you’d better apply to the White Wizard Association for the Augustus Shop Alliance as soon as possible.”

Locke nodded slightly.

Scarlett the Witch thought for a moment.

“However, our brand has finally gained some recognition and left an impression on many wizards in Cloudze Wetlands. Therefore, I can start pre-sales.”

“Today, I’ll advertise under the banners of major shops in Arthas that you, as a renowned wizard shoe designer, will be releasing the latest product. Furthermore, I’ll open pre-sales… and I’ll also apply for event funding from Arthas…”

“I estimate that if we make good use of this, the ripple effect from before will generate another multi-million dollar transaction.”

Scarlett the Witch’s eyes sparkled.

Clearly, operating the Augustus wizard shoe brand would benefit her, and she was naturally very excited.

She looked up at Locke and said, “Locke, it would be great if you could design more types of wizard shoes, especially a second-circle wizard shoe. Can’t you put your previous design, the Great Bloodwave Wizard Shoe, into production?”

Locke replied, “The Great Bloodwave Wizard Shoe has a problem: the imaginary root. Because of the imaginary root, my costs are stuck. Until I figure out a solution, I can’t produce a second-circle magic plant wizard shoe.”

Locke added, “Furthermore, I lack assistants, so for the time being, this is the only wizard shoe design I can produce.”

“Scarlett, you seem disappointed?”

Scarlett the witch sighed, then, hearing Locke’s words, quickly looked up. “No…no, how could that be?”

“Well, I was just too anxious.”

Scarlett the Witch said, “Is there still no way to overcome the cost problem caused by the imaginary root? This is a huge project. After all, no one has ever made pure magic plant wizard shoes before.”

“One-ring pure magic plant wizard shoes are occasionally handled by a few breeders. But two-ring pure magic plant wizard shoes have never been made before.”

Scarlett the Witch said, “So it’s normal that you can’t overcome it for the time being.”

“But I have a lot of confidence in you. Locke, actually, given your situation, the best way is for you to do other things yourself, such as your research at Golden Crown Mountain, or focus on thinking about how to solve the cost problem caused by the imaginary root, and let your students or employees, under your guidance, help you design one-ring pure magic plant wizard shoes.”

“That way, our Augustus Wizard Shoes Shop Alliance won’t be facing a talent shortage. Only by constantly releasing new designs and products can our brand survive and prosper. This is especially true at this crucial moment,”

Scarlett the Witch said. “Do you have any students who can handle this job? It would be a rare opportunity for them as well. There are so many geniuses in your Golden Crown Mountain… perhaps someone can help you.”

Locke thought for a moment and decisively shook his head.

No.

Mainly, he didn’t hold a high teaching position in Golden Crown Mountain and simply didn’t have that many students.

Secondly, these pure magical plant wizard shoes were too niche.

If he had developed a mass-market magical plant product, he might have been able to find someone to help him, but the key was that these pure magical plant wizard shoes were far too niche.

Even if he recruited breeders now, he would have to train and relearn them before he could even begin designing.

Moreover, Locke seriously suspected that the pure magical plant wizard shoes designed by those breeders… might not be usable.

After all, what he was doing now wasn’t just forming an ordinary shop alliance, but competing with the two top-tier wizard shoe shop alliances of Yunze Wetlands, and the six lower-tier wizard shoe shop alliances below them.

He had to revolutionize them.

Ordinary, mediocre breeder wizard shoe designs were simply unusable.

Therefore, for a long time, he truly had to rely on himself.

Scarlett the Witch, seeing Locke’s predicament, held up the black hummingbird pineapple wizard shoes and smiled, “Don’t worry, these wizard shoes are enough to secure our victory.”

“I’ll help you with pre-sales right away.”

Locke checked the time; a banquet was being held today. Then he said to Scarlett the Witch, “Alright, then I’ll leave it to you.”

The next chapter will be updated tomorrow at noon.
