Chapter 40

Adam casually handed the items over to Eliot. Eliot's heart was filled with shock. Although he had expected that the reward would not be small, he did not expect it to be so much.

Setting aside the contract, this was what Adam truly deserved, and the tower would never owe him anything in this regard. The other items had different meanings. The materialization rune came from the Second Elemental Holy Tower. This kind of rune that could allow an apprentice to obtain a portable space was very valuable. It was the only one among the apprentices of Moldova College. The library pass meant that the tower was optimistic about Adam's future, and it was a subtle way to rope him in.

The most unbelievable thing was the egg. Eliot held it up and said to Adam, "I can't believe that the tower would reward you with something of this level. It seems that it came from the Abyss. My friend, you must be careful. The creatures of the Abyss are chaotic and evil. If your strength is not enough to suppress it, you will be eaten by it. "

Adam remembered this information in his heart, but he was not worried. Being surpassed by his own pet? It was impossible.

Adam said calmly, "This is a reward from Victor The Mage. He said that I helped him solve a big problem." Then he asked curiously, "Also, do you know what the trial in nine months is about?"

Eliot reluctantly returned the four items to Adam and mumbled, "If you are willing to sell them, you will become a millionaire in an instant. This is so enviable!" Then Eliot said to Adam gloatingly, "You don't know about the trial? Ha, I forgot. You have been staying in the lab recently."

Eliot then told Adam the reason for the trial. Adam frowned. It did not matter to him whether the apprentices hated him or not. He only cared about the trial itself. With his strength, if the trial only took place among this group of apprentices, Adam could easily wipe them all out. However, according to the information revealed by Victor The Mage, the trial was obviously not that simple.

Adam asked Eliot, "Do you know how the trial works?"

Eliot shook his head, "It is different every time. Sometimes the apprentices are thrown into the Hidden Realm to kill each other. Sometimes the apprentices are thrown into the habitat of the magical beasts. This depends on the arrangement of the academy. "

Adam didn't get any useful information from Elliot, but he didn't have to worry too much. Since it was a trial, he couldn't avoid a battle. He just had to be prepared for it. There were still nine months left. Adam could use the convenience of free reading to master as many spells as possible.

"There is also this egg." Adam shook it. If he could hatch it within nine months, it should be very useful … right? Adam did not know the growth cycle of this otherworldly creature. He still had doubts about the use of a 'baby'.

.....

Adam was thinking about his own matters on the way back. He did not choose to fly back to the laboratory. This allowed the apprentices to see Adam once again, with strange hatred in their eyes.

"Can geniuses do whatever they want?"

"Can geniuses not care about the lives of others?"

"Why do we have to be in the same batch as this damn, selfish …"

These people's thoughts were very strange. They would not find the reason from themselves, nor would they take the initiative to fight for the right to choose. Instead, they would passively go with the flow and complain that the water did not flow according to their wishes.

They only dared to say this to themselves in their hearts or grumble in a low voice. They didn't even dare to let Adam hear them. Not long ago, Adam's actions had a very good effect. At least, no idiot jumped out to disturb him. They knew that Adam would really kill.

William stood in the distance and looked at Adam, struggling in his heart.

Only the four of them survived from the deserted island. Ophelia disappeared after joining the laboratory. Corestal was accepted as an official mage's disciple. Adam emitted an unconcealable light. He was the only one who had completely disappeared from the crowd. What was even more tragic was that he could not find a way out.

He was very proud of his soul's affinity with the fire element, but when he arrived at the academy, he found that it was worthless. There was no way to make people think highly of him. It would be fine if the academy could always maintain the status quo, but he did not need to think with his knees to know that the situation in the academy would change drastically after the trial. If he did not seek change, he would be completely lost.

However, he had no resources and no connections. Duke Alfred's support for him was the magic items. He had sold all of them in exchange for energy stones, but he had not been able to learn many spells until the energy stones were used up.

Therefore, he thought of Adam, his "companion" who had already established his own laboratory. He learned about the power of Psychokinetic through his own channels and realized that this was a chance to change his current situation.

Seeing that Adam was about to walk into the building, William finally let out a long breath and smiled sadly. It was not shameful to admit defeat to such a person, was it?

After convincing himself, William quickly caught up with Adam and shouted, "Adam, please wait a moment."

Adam had been thinking about how to hatch the egg. Director Victor did not tell him. Adam had some guesses after touching the eggshell, but he needed to go to the library to confirm it. At this moment, he heard a voice behind him. "William."

William said directly, "Adam, I would like to join your laboratory as … as a test subject to participate in your research."

Adam did not expect to hear this. He looked at William and asked, "What is your initial spiritual power?"

William also did not expect Adam to ask this. After all, they had a conflict before, and William was prepared to be rejected or even humiliated. However, Adam's attitude toward him was no different from that of a stranger.

"As expected, Adam did not take me seriously at all."

William came to this conclusion disappointedly, but he forced himself to be alert and replied, "8.20."

James was a low-quality sample, and Frank was a special sample. Then, William could be a normal sample. Obtaining data from multiple samples could help improve the meditation technique. This was Adam's idea after seeing the contract. Any research would require a huge amount of resources, and the largest source of resources he currently had was Psychokinetic. Since that was the case, it would be better to turn the research into a universal one.

Of course, the purpose of being a test subject was to save him some time. When the time came, he would only need to solve the problems that were summarized.

Thinking of this, Adam said to William, "Okay, report to my lab tomorrow morning. I will prepare the contract in advance."

Adam then turned and left. This was a small matter. He could foresee that when Psychokinetic really spread, there would be many people who would apply to join. Whether or not William was among them did not make any difference to Adam.

.....

It had been a long time since he came to the library. The first floor was much more lively than before. Adam also noticed a strange phenomenon. Some of the apprentices would gather together to read a book.

"Adam." "Adam."

A few senior apprentices who stayed on the first floor greeted Adam, attracting the attention of the rookies. They looked at Adam with the same gaze as before. The funny thing was that when Adam passed by, they would make way for him with fear and respect.

Adam returned the greetings one by one and walked to the side of the bookshelf. He began to look at the information about the Abyss Plane.

Adam did not pay attention to these books before, because he knew that he was still far from being able to participate in the Plane War. There was no need to waste energy stones here.

Through the books, Adam learned that the Abyss was a general name for a type of chaotic and disorderly distorted plane. This type of plane had no civilization. Every creature had to constantly fight and kill for survival resources from the moment they were born. They followed their instincts and were gifted with extraordinary talents. They could constantly devour to increase their destructive power.

Adam put the book back on the shelf. This kind of general introduction was not helpful to him. He walked to the second floor of the library for the first time.

Like most buildings, the library was in the shape of a tower. The higher the level, the more profound the knowledge, and the fewer books there were. Adam was a person with a strong sense of purpose. Although he was very curious about magic knowledge, he did not stop and went straight to the Otherworld Knowledge bookshelf. As expected, he found what he needed here — Hatching and Cultivating Abyssal Creatures.

"Abyss creatures are a special kind of life. Their evolution is chaotic and cruel. The stronger they are, the more chaotic they are. Their diet covers everything. Ether, energy, flesh and blood. There is nothing they can't devour. And this kind of devouring is one-sided. There is only entry, there is no return. "

Adam looked at the first sentence thoughtfully. According to the saying on Earth, life was the only phenomenon of entropy reduction in the closed entropy increasing system of the universe. But in this high-magic world, there was entropy increasing life. In other words, when the Abyss creatures reached a certain level of strength, they would destroy the plane they were in and then invade other planes.

Adam felt that there was no difference between this and the Sorcerers. The only difference was that the Sorcerers would feed the Sorcerers' World by invading other planes.

The form of the Abyss creatures was not fixed. Their appearance was often beyond the scope of description. The incubation method was nothing special. This kind of thing was easy to raise as long as there was enough energy and flesh. But the key was that at the beginning of the incubation, one had to constantly use one's blood and mental power to draw a master-servant contract. Only then would it be controlled by the Sorcerers.

The rune group of the master-servant contract was not complicated. Adam spent less than an hour to memorize it. But the master-servant contract was not something that could be done as soon as it was signed. If the Sorcerers, as the master, could not keep up with the growth of the servant, the servant would definitely bite back.

The warning at the end of the book attracted Adam's attention. After the Abyss creatures reached level one, they were not allowed to appear in the Sorcerers' World. Otherwise, they would be destroyed by the World Guardian.
