Chapter 191 Obtaining Two Rare Magic Plants

The rare magical plant, the Shooter Pea, is not a magical plant that grows normally in the wild.

This magic plant was born in a breeder’s laboratory. It was a special magic plant cultivated by a senior breeder using an ordinary pea and grafting it with a variety of powerful magic plants.

Therefore, the seeds of this powerful magical plant cannot grow normally in the natural environment.

The seeds of this powerful magical plant can only develop after going through some hidden special steps of the senior breeder.

This special step has not yet been announced by its developers.

Locke looked at the Shooter Pea on the reward list and said, “I want one of these magical plants.”

The dwarf scholar Orr recorded it and tilted his head, asking, “Are you sure? Breeder Locke, once confirmed, it cannot be changed.”

Locke nodded.

The dwarf scholar Orr said, “The public library has a public resource storage warehouse. Reward resources of this level can be collected directly inside the public library. I will arrange for someone to help you extract the resources.”

“What’s your second reward?”

Locke looked at the list and fell into deep thought. With the Shooter Pea, he could learn a 0.8-level powerful attack plant magic. As for defensive magic plants, he had the Eye of Perseus lichen that was specifically designed to deal with curse magic.

After its own transformation, the Eye of Perseus lichen has a certain ability to resist physical attacks.

Besides, he still had the Night Walker Feather Robe on him.

“The items on the list are all rare, so it’s best to choose carefully and pick what you need most right now. However, there are no mana-enhancing potions or magical resources on the list, perhaps because they are too precious. There are also no special escape-related magical items.”

After much deliberation, Locke said to the dwarf scholar Orr, “I’d better ask for another Shooter Pea. Do you have enough of these magical plants in your resource warehouse?”

If Locke has two Shooter Peas, he can synthesize them as long as he gets a third one in the near future.

By then, even if a special synthesis formula cannot be put together, the improvement in the characteristics and abilities brought about by synthesizing the three rare magic plants will be a huge gain.

In particular, this kind of magic plant that serves as a supporting part of one’s main damage spell, every improvement in its characteristics and abilities can significantly enhance the power of one’s own spell.

The dwarf scholar Orr hesitated for a moment and said, “Oh, yes, there is more.”

“There are four more Shooter Peas in the warehouse, all kept at low temperatures using a special enchanted magic array.”

“But aren’t you repeating the choice?”

Locke smiled and said, “I’m just interested in the Shooter Pea. By the way, can I directly use magic stones to buy the remaining two Shooter Peas in your library warehouse? If so, Scholar Orr, please name a price.”

The dwarf scholar, Orr, immediately shook his head and said, “Breedmaster Locke, I’m happy to help you with this. A talented breeder like you would naturally be interested in rare magical plants like the Shooter Pea, but unfortunately, the academy has special regulations regarding this.”

“The materials in the resource warehouse cannot be traded with magic stones.”

“Those are special awards given to students at the academy.”

A flash of disappointment appeared in Locke’s eyes, because there were no Shooter Peas circulating in the Chimera market recently. This meant that the chances of him gathering three rare magic plants for synthesis in less than a month were not high.

But the dwarf scholar Orr changed the subject. “However, Breeder Locke, you can still purchase it with contribution points.”

“Breeder Locke, you have published six B-level articles, so you have received 300 contribution points, and you have published two A-level articles, so you have received 200 contribution points.”

“Also, the title of Outstanding Apprentice will grant you 100 contribution points. In other words, you currently have a total of 600 contribution points. You can exchange 400 contribution points for a Shooter Pea from the warehouse.”

Locke nodded slightly. The ratio of contribution points to magic stones in the library is 1:10, which means that 400 contribution points are equivalent to 4,000 magic stones in horizontal funds.

No, in fact, contribution points are much harder to obtain than magic stones. According to the habits of Lilith Hut Academy, this horizontal funding still needs to be doubled.

In other words, a Shooter Pea can be exchanged for only 400 contribution points in the library, but if it is taken to the market, it may cost 8,000 magic stones to buy it.

Moreover, even if you have money, you can’t buy it at the moment and you need to queue and wait.

Locke narrowed his eyes. No wonder all the wizard apprentices in the academy wanted to publish as many articles as possible and publish higher-quality articles.

Essentially, the title of an outstanding apprentice brings one two rare magic plants equivalent to 800 contribution points, which can be taken to the Chimera Market as horizontal funds equivalent to 16,000 magic stones.

This is a sum of money that an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice could never afford.

But they can get it by publishing articles. This gives those first-class wizard apprentices the motivation to roll for titles, roll for honors, and roll for titles.

The dwarf scholar Orr asked Locke kindly, “Breeder Locke, would you like to exchange?”

Locke frowned. In fact, contribution points were as difficult as climbing to the sky for others to obtain. It required a lot of thinking and trying to get other people’s research resources. If his mentor was not helpful, he would really feel desperate when publishing an article.

But for me, publishing articles is as easy as eating and drinking water.

As long as you keep developing new potions and new magical plants, it will be very easy to publish articles.

The only problem is that there might be a group of first-class wizard apprentices trying to take advantage of him.

You will not lack contribution points.

But Locke still asked, “How many contribution points are usually required to redeem the opportunity to enter the Wizarding Secret Realm?”

The dwarf scholar Orr smiled knowingly. Everyone worked so hard to post articles and gain contribution points, all for the opportunity to enter the wizard’s secret realm.

“Generally speaking, a more common wizard secret realm requires 1,500 contribution points.”

“A wizard secret realm like the Forbidden Forest requires at least 2,000 contribution points.”

“The contribution points required to enter the Wizarding Secret Realm are not fixed. They fluctuate in different time periods. They are determined by the number of wizard apprentices entering at the same time. There are many complex issues involved, because some Wizarding Secret Realms belong to the academy itself, some are shared with several wizarding academies, and some belong to the White Wizard Association.”

The dwarf scholar Orr pointed to a wall at the back of the library and said, “If there are any fluctuations in contribution point exchange rates recently, we will notify you in the notification section.”

“We general scholars have always been responsible for macroeconomic regulation of this part of the price.”

Locke frowned slightly. A secret realm usually costs more than 1,500, and a high-level secret realm costs more than 2,000.

He quickly recalled the level and number of articles published by Witch Sophia, as well as the contribution points that could be redeemed. “Based on this exchange rate, my teacher, Witch Sophia, can only enter the Wizarding Secret Realm four or five times.”

The dwarf scholar Orr’s eyes widened. “Being able to enter the wizard’s secret realm four or five times is already a lot.”

“Many first-class wizard apprentices can’t even enter once. And sometimes, they can get some benefits. Some wizard mentors have some opportunities to enter the low-level wizard secret realms. These opportunities are the only chances for those mediocre first-class wizard apprentices to enter the wizard secret realm.”

“So, wizard mentors have a lot of say.”

“For outstanding first-class wizard apprentices, many titles and designations come with the opportunity to enter the wizard’s secret realm. Therefore, they can use this method to gain the opportunity to enter the wizard’s secret realm by rolling titles and designations.”

The dwarf scholar, Orr, raised his index finger and gave an example. “For example, the title of Wizard Seed comes with the opportunity to enter a common wizard secret realm every year, and the opportunity to enter a high-level wizard secret realm every five years.”
