Chapter 30

James was still in his laboratory. His research had reached a bottleneck, and there was no hope of a breakthrough.

The academy did not limit his funding, and his problem was not the lack of funding. He lacked assistants and research subjects.

Just as Eliot had said, the previous batch of students who had the same problem as him had all unfortunately died. Those who survived did not think highly of him, and the new students could not meet his requirements. Adam was the only exception.

"But a genius of that level shouldn't be interested in my research," James thought with a sigh.

He walked in his black laboratory, and from time to time, he would stop under the optical projection and look at the runes that had not been completed, or had not been tested after completion.

"I'm already over 25 years old."

His lifespan was like the sword of Damocles pressing down on his head. His talent could be said to be low, and the total amount of spiritual power he had was very little. Because he had been constantly experimenting with new runes for the past few decades, his spiritual power had not even been structured according to a set of systematic meditation techniques. From this point of view, he was wasting his time.

"Sigh."

James slumped against the wall and sighed heavily. Unexpectedly, at this time, the door of the laboratory suddenly lit up. "Apprentice Adam requests to enter."

James's eyes suddenly lit up with a shocking light. He jumped up from the ground and rushed outside to open the door of the laboratory.

Adam came to the door of James' laboratory according to his memory and swiped his identification card. He was not sure if James was in the laboratory, but he did not have a better way to find him, so he came here to try his luck.

Bang.

The door of the laboratory was violently pulled open. James stared at Adam with his eyes wide open and asked eagerly, "You agree to be my assistant, right? You agree, right? "

Adam took a step back and said, "If the reward is satisfactory, yes."

James grabbed Adam and dragged him into the laboratory, saying, "Wait for me!" He quickly rushed inside and soon took out a paper contract and handed it to Adam.

Adam looked down. The contract stated the responsibilities of both parties, things to take note of, and confidentiality. These few points were very strict, and there were no loopholes. The only thing missing was the reward.

James said generously, "The laboratory has a monthly budget of 7555 energy stones. I need 355 energy stones to maintain my daily expenses. The rest is yours!"

In other words, Adam would receive a maximum of 6,755 energy stones every month. This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money, and it was much more generous than the less than one unit of remuneration that the Mission Hall gave to the new apprentices every day.

However, James immediately changed his tone and said awkwardly, "It's just that we need to produce some results within three months at most, or we will be cut. The approval department has already lost patience with my experiment. Three months is the deadline they gave me. "

Adam nodded. Three months meant that he could get at least three payments. He asked James, "Mr. James, what do you mean by 'some results'?"

James replied, "A complete and valuable meditation technique that can be implemented among apprentices." James immediately added, "Actually, the laboratory already has a complete result, but no one can verify it. After all, it's not easy for me to construct a set of runes."

Adam was very confident in this. This kind of project that required a huge amount of calculations to verify was his forte. Constructing a set of runes would only take up a few more threads.

Adam said to James, "If the research is successful, I can not put my name on the results, but I need to have the freedom to use it."

James hurriedly nodded, "Of course, no problem at all."

After getting his approval, Adam wrote this into the contract. He then wrote down 6555 units a month in the payment column and handed the contract to James. James did not care about Adam's payment at all. He put away the contract with a face full of ecstasy, and then eagerly pulled Adam into the black room.

After a series of operations, he said to Adam, "From now on, you have the authority to freely enter the laboratory, but you can't take the data out of the laboratory."

.....

Half a month quickly passed. In this half a month, Adam almost completely disappeared from everyone's sight. He only came and went between the dormitory and the laboratory every day. Even his daily meals were eaten in the laboratory.

James was undoubtedly a good person. Although Adam was only an assistant and a test subject, he still took care of Adam. In this half a month, he did not ask Adam to construct the unstable runes that had not been verified. Instead, he guided Adam to construct the basic meditation technique. According to his words, "This basic meditation technique created by the Prometheus Grand Necromancer has a stability that far surpasses all variants. This stability shows that no matter how the apprentices test new methods, it can provide protection for the soul, so that the apprentices will not die from the multiple shattering of their mental power."

This was a great help to Adam. Compared to building a car behind closed doors, the more experienced James' guidance in this area saved him a lot of detours. In less than half a month, the basic meditation technique had been completed. Adam could feel that his fragile soul was covered with a layer of armor, and the amount of Ether that could be neutralized had increased.

James was very satisfied. Adam's talent had once again exceeded his expectations. One had to know that to complete the basic meditation technique, one would need at least 6555 pieces of armor. An ordinary apprentice, such as himself, could only construct 8 to 0 pieces a day.

James did not know that this was not only a difference in the total amount of mental power, but also a difference in computing power. For an ordinary person, they could only construct one rune at a time. However, Adam had the talent of multitasking. He could construct a single rune with multiple threads at the same time. After that, he only needed to combine the threads into one.

Half a month later, James was sure that Adam could withstand the negative effects of the runes breaking in his mental power. He turned on an optical projector and said to Adam, "Now, try to construct this set of runes and use it to replace the Magician's Armor. Be careful not to force it. If you feel a conflict of mental power or soul fluctuations, immediately stop."

Adam looked at the new set of runes. It was still made up of 4 runes, but the structure of each rune was more complicated than before. However, this complexity did not show any signs of harmony. Adam felt that there was no need to test it. This set of runes was bound to be a failure.

However, he could not rely on his feelings. Only by testing it himself could he find the root of the problem, so Adam began to construct it without hesitation.

James said nervously, "Compared to the original Magician's Armor, this set of runes has the ability to strengthen mental power. If it succeeds, the Magician's Armor will become more aggressive."

"Take it one step at a time. Remove the original plates bit by bit … Stop! Oh my god, what are you doing?! "

James was horrified to find that Adam's mental power, which was initially condensed, collapsed in an instant. The energy dissipated like a gust of wind in the laboratory, blowing all the papers away!

James did not have time to care about the messy laboratory. He was filled with regret. Adam's calmness had confused him. He thought that Adam would take it slow, but the situation now was clearly that Adam had broken the Magician's Armor in one go. This would cause great damage to his mental power.

He ran towards the door in a panic, wanting to apply for treatment. Adam was his last hope. Nothing must happen to him!

At this moment, Adam's nonchalant voice sounded. "For a single rune, it has a higher complexity than the original version. However, the rune connections are rough, and there are redundant structures. After combining, it will not be self-consistent …"

James's running figure froze. His body did not move, and his head turned towards Adam bit by bit. He said stiffly, "Are you okay?"

Adam said calmly, "Don't worry, this is not difficult for me. Also, the efficiency of this experiment is too low. I can probably do it at the same time … "Adam thought about how to distribute his mental power and mental power to get the best solution. Then he said," Do the construction of four different meditation techniques at the same time. "

"Four, four? Different? The construction of meditation techniques that I have never seen before? "

"Yes, that's right. This is mainly because I am not familiar with the new runes. Otherwise, it would be faster," Adam said with certainty.

James looked at Adam in surprise. "This is multitasking?" James had reason to be surprised. Multitasking was a talent. It would not be automatically obtained with the increase of mental power or the increase of the Sorcerer's level. The first two situations would only allow the Sorcerer to think faster.

"Yes," Adam said.

This kind of monster really makes people envious. If only the person with this talent was me, how good would that be? James thought to himself.

Adam had been constructing the rune group as he spoke. The problem from a single rune group might not be applicable to the whole group. It was possible that the problem would be automatically solved when it was placed on the whole group.

James silently placed the three optical projectors beside Adam again. Looking at the serious Adam, he felt an unprecedented sense of hope. Maybe this time it will really work!

.....

Experiments were boring, and proof was a blow to one's confidence and belief. In the blink of an eye, another two months flew by. Adam and James were both crazy. During this time, the two of them did not return to their own residence. James still had to teach once a week, and Adam had completely become an otaku.

However, he still couldn't find a meditation technique that was harmonious, self-consistent, and could be applied to everyone.

There were only ten days left before the three-month deadline. James looked like he had aged countless times. He had changed from the young man he had when they first met to graying hair.
