Chapter 67

Adam walked out of the Elemental Laboratory Building and arrived at the Wizard Tower. He had to go to the approval department to change his research project.

Mage Irene wasn't here. The one in charge was a female student he didn't know.

"Hello, Mage Irene isn't here. If you want to apply for a laboratory, please give me the certificate issued by the academic department. I'll inform you as soon as Mage Irene approves it." The female student didn't know Adam, but she didn't dare to neglect him. She was only lucky to get this job. She couldn't afford to offend anyone who could establish their own laboratory.

Adam signed the contract for the spiritual power laboratory in his portable space and handed it to the female student. She glanced at it and was stunned. "Spiritual power laboratory? You've already established a laboratory? " She had reason to be surprised. She had worked until now, and every single apprentice who had built a laboratory was in her memory, but Adam was definitely not among them.

Adam nodded at her and said, "Yes, I would like to apply for a change in the research project. I would like to change the research project from spiritual power to electricity and related elements."

The female student had never encountered such a request before. She was a little flustered and didn't know what to do. After a while, she looked at Adam and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to do this …"

Adam wasn't in a hurry. First of all, this wasn't a small matter for an student. The academy needed to check whether the student had the qualifications to conduct research and then decide whether to agree to the investment. Besides, Adam also needed to go back and inform the three people in his laboratory. "It's fine, but please come to my laboratory after Mage Irene approves it."

.....

In the laboratory, James and the other two, as well as Eliot, were all there. They knew that Adam had gone to find an official Mage. Seeing him come back, Eliot asked, "How was it?"

Adam first gave them the information box rune set that recorded the latest improved psychokinesis meditation technique. This was a more efficient construction method that he had come up with after fighting against the monsters of despair for as long as a year. Using this method to construct the meditation technique, Adam's efficiency could be increased by almost three times, but at the same time, it was also unfriendly to normal acolytes.

After receiving the meditation technique, the three of them were not in a hurry to learn it. They continued to look at Adam.

Adam took out the contract that the three of them had signed with the laboratory and said under their puzzled gazes, "Due to certain reasons, the Mental Energy Research Laboratory will be disbanded."

The three of them suddenly looked up. James couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Are you going to give up? It's just that you haven't found the right direction for the time being. You still have a lot of time, so there's no need to give up so quickly. "

If the laboratory was dissolved, it would have the greatest impact on James. His aptitude was low to begin with, and if he couldn't get Adam's guidance, he probably wouldn't have any hope left.

The other two were also stunned. In their impression, Adam was not a person who would be defeated so easily.

The Devil laughed and jumped out of Adam's mind, then said, "Haha, because you are too stupid, my master is going to give up on you."

Adam rubbed two of his fingers together, and electric sparks appeared. His fingers turned into a taser, flicking a bolt of electricity onto the Devil's body. The Devil trembled from the electricity and fell to the ground. Eliot stepped forward and kicked it to the side, then said to Adam, "My friend, this is not the you I know …"

Adam waved his hand to interrupt Eliot, then said to Eliot, "I've found my research direction. “

Eliot's mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say. He found it so quickly?

Then, Adam pushed the three contracts towards William and the other two and said, "I will start building an electricity and related elemental research laboratory in the near future. Psychokinetic research will be put aside for the time being. You can choose to terminate the contract with me. This time, it will be considered a one-sided violation of the contract. I will give you corresponding compensation. "

While the three of them were still at a loss over this sudden news, Elliot was the first to shout, "Lightning element? You want to research the electricity element? Do you know that there are no Hyperdimensional mages who specialize in electricity in the mage's dimension?! "

William still didn't understand, but James and Frank also came back to their senses. They temporarily ignored the contracts and said, "Yes, Adam, the entire mage's research on electricity is very backward. It can be said that the apprentice-level electricity magic rune set in the academy is the entire mage's dimension. Even high-level mages can only use their mental power to forcefully bind electricity to increase the power of their magic."

Adam had no way of explaining to them that the mages in this world had fallen into a misunderstanding when it came to the study of electricity. Even if he said it out loud, he would only be regarded as the arrogance of a lunatic, so he decided not to explain. "I know, but it's fine."

Even Adam himself didn't realize that this was actually a kind of stubbornness that originated from his heart. When the thought of never giving up entered his heart, he wouldn't change the goal he set for himself because of any external factors.

This was a belief. From this, Adam became more like a person. If he was still guided by absolutely calm and logical thinking, the previous Adam would automatically find the best way to become a mage.

Seeing that their persuasion didn't have any effect, they also shut up. In their opinion, this was just the stubbornness of a young man. When he hit a bottleneck that he couldn't break through, Adam would wake up on his own.

James sighed, then pushed the contract back to Adam. "I don't want to cancel the contract, and I have nowhere to go. I think your new lab also needs manpower, right?"

Frank was the same. Psychokinetic, or rather, the benefits that Adam's wisdom brought to him were real. In the past two years, the incompatibility between the inferior mechanical body and the physical body had been almost solved by Psychokinetic. Moreover, because of the characteristics of Psychokinetic, it would be relatively easier for him to walk the path of an alchemist in the future. For the time being, he didn't want to leave Adam's lab.

Adam put away their contracts and once again expressed his welcome to them, then looked at William.

William was struggling in his heart, and this struggle was uncontrollably shown on his face. After a while, William raised his head and said to Adam, "Sorry, I choose to withdraw."

William was very clear that he had passed the initial difficult and dangerous stage through Psychokinetic. Next, he needed to pursue his own path as a mage. Whether it was Psychokinetic, which was pure spiritual power, or electric element, it was not his path. He needed to join a fire element research lab or be an apprentice of an official fire element mage.

"Adam, I'm sorry, but I have to leave. I have no talent in electric element …"

"Don't be sorry. I respect your choice."

Adam was not surprised and didn't care. In his heart, William was just an 'employee'. It was normal for employees to resign or change jobs. Of course, it was also natural for him to compensate for breaking the contract.

Adam handed the information box to William. "Inside is the best rune set I've constructed so far. You can use it for free, but if you want to use it later, you'll have to pay."

"Give me your proof of identity."

After Adam took the proof of identity, he transferred the rest of the contract's energy stones to William in one lump sum. William took it, packed up all his things, and left the lab.

After he left, he thought of Corestal. That girl had found her own path, and maybe she had already surpassed Adam. Now that he had taken a new step, he looked forward to standing in front of Adam with a different attitude in the future.

.....

The notice from the approval department did not make Adam wait for long. On the third day, the female apprentice knocked on the door of the lab. In these few days, she had learned about Adam's identity. She knew that he was the creator of Psychokinetic Meditation, which was very popular among the new apprentices. There was a trace of admiration in her voice. "Hello, Mage Irene asked me to inform you to meet her at the approval department."

Adam did not know why the female apprentice suddenly used honorifics. After receiving the notice, he went with her to the approval department again.

Mage Irene was still as beautiful as before. She looked at Adam with a gentle smile on her face. "I've heard about you. You've withstood the Soul Laceration. Not bad. You've interrupted the Soul Advancement. Very impressive."

Mage Irene had reason to praise him. When an apprentice advanced to a sorcerer, the joy of the transformation of the soul was incomparably great. Almost no one could break free from that feeling of joy and make a calm decision. But right in front of her, someone who had only been an apprentice for a few years had done it.

The female apprentice listened to Mage Irene's words in a daze. Even if her knowledge was shallow, she could still understand what the mage meant. The person in front of her had actually given up on his own in the process of advancement!

Adam bowed slightly. "You flatter me, respected Mage Irene."

Mage Irene took out the contract Adam had submitted and tapped the table with her finger. Then she said, "Regarding your application, there are some problems."

Adam raised his head to look at the mage.

"You should know that although the establishment of an apprentice-level laboratory is not as strict as that of a sorcerer's, the most basic theoretical results are still necessary. Previously, you used Psychokinetic Meditation to obtain the qualifications to establish a spiritual power laboratory. But now, if you do not have a theory in the field of electricity to support you, the academy will not allow you to establish a laboratory."

Adam was slightly stunned. He realized that he had forgotten about this matter. Of course he had a theory in the field of electricity. He even had a lot of theories in the field of electricity. But none of them had been proven. Not only had they not been integrated into Ether, he did not even know if they could be established in an environment where Ether existed.

Mage Irene saw his expression and knew that Adam was not prepared. She directly returned the contract. "You don't have it? Then I'm sorry to say that your application has been rejected. "
