Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 29: Budding and Coveting l

Translator: 549690339

Without any trouble involved, Link’s life returned to its usual monotony.

Apart from mundane affairs of life, Link spent all his energy and time on studying.

Even his part-time job was part of his learning process.

So, three days have passed this way.

Today is Wednesday of the seventh week of the school year.

The sixth day of Link’s part-time job at the Third Botanical Garden.

The evening.

Link entered the third greenhouse in the third row.

As always, he randomly inspected the state of the Silver Star Flower Seeds.

Once he determined that all the seeds were developing as expected, Link began his work for the day.

Firstly, he cast an Ultra Model Sub-Elementary Misty Rain Technique.

After days of practice and actual application, Link was able to conjure this Zero Ring witchcraft in about 3 seconds, and he believed it was not long before he could achieve the standard time of 2 seconds.

The mist of the Sub-Elementary Misty Rain Technique can reduce visibility on the battlefield, enabling stealth, advancement, and surprise attacks. The rain can create environmental conditions conducive to performing water system witchcraft attacks. As a support for fighting, its performance was commendable.

What he cast next was the Birth Induction Technique, which also took about 3 seconds.

However, this Zero Ring witchcraft is not suitable for actual combat, even if one carries some plant seeds that have the ability to entangle and camouflage, it is still the case.

To induce plant seeds to sprout, grow, and mature instantaneously requires too much spiritual power and Magic Power, making it too cost-ineffective.

If you have that much spiritual power and Magic Power to spare, it’s better to figure out how to learn a few offensive and defensive witchcrafts.

The Birth Induction Technique only has room to play in special terrains, like places with lush vegetation.

Even so, there are other wood system witchcrafts that can replace it, such as Thorn Entanglement which is also a Zero Ring witchcraft, consuming the same amount of energy but with better effects.

Thorn Entanglement can even be upgraded to the First Ring witchcraft of Thorn Killing.

After the Birth Induction Technique ended, Link could already feel the full vitality contained in the Silver Star Flower Seeds.

All the seeds needed was a catalyst, and they would all sprout through the soil.

Link sat on the ridge in a state of Shallow Meditation. As soon as his spiritual power and Magic Power had recovered, he immediately cast another Ultra Model Sub-Elementary Misty Rain Technique.

Rain lightly sprinkled down on the soil.

The Silver Star flower seeds hidden in the earth soaked up the water, one by one pushing away the soil that was suppressing them, and sprouting up one after another.

Thanks to “Pomona Sprout’s Botany Talent,” coupled with his own high affinity for the wood element, Link could clearly feel the joy of the Silver Star flowers. He felt deeply moved.

This was the joy of new life, this was the power of life.

Link was immersed in this touch and enlightenment.

After a while, Link felt refreshed, not only were his previously depleted spiritual power and Magic Power fully restored, but he could clearly feel that his spiritual power and Magic Power had progressed a bit.

It wasn’t an increase in quantity, but an improvement in quality.

It was as if light, floating energy had become light, ethereal energy.

Although Link didn’t know what this level of progress could bring, it was a good thing anyway.

The successful sprouting of the Silver Star flower seeds meant that the first task assigned to Link by the botanical garden can now be considered to have been completed one day in advance.

However, Link did not hurry to submit it, but planned to observe it for one more day. Waiting until tomorrow to confirm that there were no problems before submitting it.

Moreover, he had some questions about the Silver Star Flower Seeds, sprouting, and cultivation, it was time to explore them.

Link took out the notebook specifically for recording the germination diary of the Silver Star Flower, and wrote down the state of the seeds, today’s activities, and changes. Only then did he leave the greenhouse and the botanical garden.

Not long after Link left, Sophie Lucia once again entered the third greenhouse in the third row. What met her eyes were tender white shoots sprouting all over the ground.

This surprised Sophie.

Six days, they actually sprouted successfully in just six days!

One day earlier than the most cost-effective method she knew of.

Moreover, looking at the tender white shoots all over the ground, it’s almost a 70% sprouting success rate.

The Silver Star Flower seeds in the greenhouse were sowed by Sophie herself. By visual estimation and careful calculation, she inferred this probability.

Don’t underestimate the importance of just being one day early.

And don’t look down on the mere 70% sprouting rate either.

The Silver Star flower has been introduced to the Wizard World for less than twenty years. Because the pistil of the flower has excellent effects in healing wounds, it has promoted the improvement of many external injury potion formulas on the market.

This has further lowered the price of the external injury potions, making them more affordable for ordinary people and wizard apprentices.

The Silver Star flower’s growth period can be shortened to three days under the excitation of witchcraft and nutrient solution.

What limits the production of the Silver Star flower has always been the rate of good seeding, the duration of sprouting, and the success of sprouting.

Also, because potions made with the Silver Star flower’s pistil as a raw material are not suitable for official wizards and above, no official wizard is willing to spend their precious time improving the Silver Star flower seeds, improving the Silver Star flower sprouting method, optimizing the cultivation plan of Silver Star flowers.

This has led the Silver Star flower and related potions into a rather awkward situation.

The effects are great, the market is welcoming, but the production can’t keep up.

As a low-end product, it also can’t be sold at a high price, which results in thin profits.

If that bumpkin really didn’t use nutrient solution and potions, it means he has mastered or developed a new type of the Silver Star Flower Sprouting method.

This is no longer just a question of high or low economic value, but it can be used as a research result, to publish “papers,” to acquire “Academic Points”, and to improve welfare treatment and status.

At Ravensmouth Biological and Medical College, “Academic Points” can be exchanged for many things, such as witchcraft, Magic Tools, and secret documents that can’t even be found in the Advanced Literature Library.

And there are only two ways for a wizard apprentice to obtain “Academic Points”:

One is to publish “papers”, the other is to secure a place in the North-South Campus Competition, held once a year by the college.

When compared to competing with hundreds or thousands of people in competitions and contending for the scant top ten positions of the two districts, publishing “papers” undoubtedly seems more relaxed.

If you have a higher research talent, and stronger research capabilities.

Sophie Lucia is one of these geniuses.

That’s why she was able to take up the post of Deputy Director of the Third Botanical Garden when she just entered the second year and still has quite some time before she can be promoted to a Third-class wizard apprentice. That’s because she published a high-quality “paper” in the first half of the year.

It was for this reason that she managed to secure this position after a lot of operation within the system.

Having tasted the sweet fruit of publishing a “paper,” Sophie Lucia was always eager to have another taste.

Unfortunately, several months have passed, and she hasn’t found a good research entry point or a good research outcome.

Now, she has stumbled upon a golden opportunity.

As long as she can figure out the Silver Star Flower Sprouting method that the bumpkin has mastered or developed, she can start a project, set up experiments, collect data, and then write a “paper” to be published on the intranet hidden underneath the “official website.”

Now, the key is how to obtain the sprouting method..
