Chapter 531: Zhenzhiyuan’s First Project Application

Chapter 531: The First Project Application of Zhenzhi Academy

The second-ring wizard who was in charge of the class waved his hand, and suddenly all the words written with magic chalk on the magic wall moved crookedly, and then disappeared as if pulled away by something in the air.

The second-ring wizard smiled and said, “Congratulations, all four of you! You have all completed this course, earned 100 points, and are now qualified to teach students at Golden Crown Mountain.”

“Next, the academy will assign students to you. At the same time, those students will also serve as your assistants in experiments. They are not only your students, but also your formal wizards’ experimental assistants.”

The second-ring wizard pointed at the incredibly smooth black wall and said, “By the way, I’m going to teach you a spell that will activate the Black Hole Witch Peach located in the center of Golden Crown Mountain. It’s a powerful peach tree. By using this spell, you can summon some of its power to devour the unwanted things you need to eliminate.”

“From small garbage to large out-of-control experiments, it can swallow them all. Other wizarding organizations like to throw their experimental waste into Cloud Lake, but we are more environmentally friendly. We will let the Black Hole Witch Peach…eat our experimental waste.”

This second-ring wizard ate a can of food, then threw the can and the waste on the ground, making the ground dirty.

But as soon as he chanted the spell, the next moment, an invisible giant mouth seemed to have grown on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, everything disappeared.

The classroom floor became extremely clean.

Wizard Daniel said in surprise beside Locke’s ear: “Did the Golden Crown Mountain put a black hole in their mountain to make it easier for wizards to throw away their garbage?”

“Using black hole gravity to throw away garbage?”

“No wonder the buildings here are so clean.”

Locke was speechless. “This should just be a side effect. If the experimental waste of tens of thousands of wizards in Golden Crown Mountain is constantly thrown into the black hole witch peach, I think it will also be meaningful to the magic plant.”

Locke tried to use the spell that the second-ring wizard had just taught him, and suddenly he felt that in the darkness, a towering ancient tree appeared behind him, which seemed to be its spirit body.

But the peach tree was surrounded by infinite gravity and had an event horizon similar to a black hole.

Its spirit body was like a black and white photo. After realizing that he had nothing to lose, Locke came to his senses the next moment and returned his attention to the classroom.

Wizard Daniel had apparently also tried it. He said in an amazed tone, “That demonic plant… I can’t sense its demonic pressure at all, as if it doesn’t exist, but I can clearly see where its spirit body is.”

“It’s just used to throw away garbage, but it can actually summon such a powerful magical plant. It’s worthy of being called Golden Crown Mountain.”

Locke said: “Well, it’s quite practical anyway.”

“From now on, when I do experiments and there’s any waste, I don’t have to throw it away myself. I can just chant a spell and throw it towards Black Hole Wu Tao.”

Wizard Daniel sat down. They were the only two people left in the classroom. He said, “Speaking of practicality, we’ve been at Zhenzhi Academy for over a month now. What do you think of Jinman Mountain and Yunze Wetlands?”

Locke thought for a moment and said, “Well… I’ve been very busy lately, so even in Golden Crown Mountain, let alone Yunze Wetland, I only go to a few fixed places: the library, the laboratory, and my magic field.”

“So, it’s hard for me to say what special impression I have of Yunze Wetland. But it’s definitely completely different from the last time I came to participate in the Yunze Cup.”

Locke said, “Overall, life here is convenient, and there are many things that other wizarding lands don’t have. However, the cost of living in Golden Crown Mountain is very high. I’ve tried very hard to save money, but who would have thought that I’d still spend a thousand magic stones on living expenses in the past month.”

Locke asked Daniel, “How about you? How do you feel about being in Golden Crown Mountain?”

The two are neighbors, colleagues, and have taken classes together for more than a month. In addition, they entered the Shinchi Academy in the same year, so their relationship is very good now.

Wizard Daniel pursed his lips and said, “Thinking about it, it seems like just yesterday. Anyway, this place is very different from the Golden Crown Mountain I imagined. The pace of life in the Fission Mausoleum is much slower than here. Every wizard here is like battling an invisible opponent. Everyone is working hard, carving out their own time to conduct experiments.”

“Also, I’m in Fission Mausoleum, researching how to create more effective weather systems every day. But here, my team leader has been asking me to observe the patterns of fog within five meters above the canopies of different pine trees for a month…”

Wizard Daniel covered his head and said, “I’m a little confused now. I feel like I’ve gone from being a great chief engineer to being a tiny spare part.”

“My vision here has not only not gotten bigger, but has gotten smaller.”

Wizard Daniel was lost in thought. “I don’t know if I’ve come to the wrong place.”

Wizard Daniel thought for a moment, then immediately reacted. He looked at Locke and said, “Do you have a feeling that we haven’t thought about anything useful for a long time, something that can be directly transformed into results and commercialized?”

“I’m afraid that after five years here, I’ll have forgotten all the knowledge I need to create these intricate weather systems, and all I’ll have left is the knowledge of observing the different forms of fog.”

Locke nodded slightly. “I’m fine.”

Wizard Daniel looked at Locke in confusion. “It’s okay. Aren’t you in the same predicament as me? That’s impossible…”

Locke shook his head. “Daniel, don’t you realize one thing? The research here is so detailed, it’s a huge benefit to us two ‘engineers’.”

“Here, if you want any information, you can just go and look it up. I’ve tried it, and in the library at Jinman Mountain, you can find almost any information. You just need contribution points to borrow paid books. Of course, the free area is also very rich in literature.”

Wizard Daniel’s body shook.

Locke said, “The research here is so detailed, it’s naturally a bargain for the two of us. By reading this research, it will be easier for us to use this information and make practical things that we want, right?”

Wizard Daniel nodded and tapped his open left hand with his clenched right fist. “I almost got tricked by Wizard Thomasson.”

“Forget about empty talk. Don’t worry about it. Just look at what’s good for us.”

Wizard Daniel slapped his head. “I should use my spare time to go to the library and borrow some books.”

“For over a month, I’ve just been mechanically and repetitively recording the shapes of the fog every day. It’s time to borrow some information and improve myself.”

“Make a special weather system to please myself.”

Wizard Daniel expressed his gratitude to Locke, “Locke, thank you for reminding me. You are more insightful. You adapted to the Yunze Wetland much faster than I did.”

Locke spread his hands and said, “Even if I don’t tell you, I think you will figure it out on your own soon.”

“I need to go back. I’m almost done with my project proposal.”

Daniel said, “So fast, but my project application is also coming to fruition. See you later.”

Locke returned to his residence. In his study, he took out a piece of sea gold sand from the star ring. However, this sea gold sand was not only a mutant of the tree fern, but was also covered with ice crystals.

Snowflake-shaped ice crystals are suspended around its triangular leaves, and its gold powder spores are blue in color.

In the past month, Locke had learned two special botanical facts in the free area of the library:

First, the success rate of grafting tree ferns and tree magic plants is very high.

Second, the branches of the six-sided prism tower ice tree are grafted onto the tree fern under the aurora using the drilling grafting method, allowing the tree fern to gain the natural ice magic ability.

Taking advantage of these two points, Locke used the grafting cultivation method and the synthetic magic cube, and within this month, he completed the cultivation of another mutant variety of sea sand in the Druid Ring.

Six-sided Prism Sentry Tower Sea Sand!

At this moment, this tree fern Sea Sand had six ice crystal snowflakes, lingering around the Sea Sand tree fern, turning into six snowflake ice crystal mirrors.

Locke used this Ice Sea Gold Sand, and immediately as he used the Gold Sand Torrent spell model, a large amount of ice-blue gold sand erupted. It was gold sand spore powder mixed with ice chips.

A mixture of gold magic and ice magic.

Golden magic has excellent conductivity. Now that a mutated version of sea gold sand is used, it is naturally easy to use golden magic while adding the power of ice to it.

Locke watched the scene with satisfaction.

“This mutated variety of sea gold sand has a unique effect. Although it has lost the purity of golden magic, it can be mixed with a specific frost power when attacking.”

“Maybe at some point, it will play a key role.”

Locke pondered, “This way, I can use the Burning Gold Sand Flow and summon both ice sand and gold sand at the same time. Next, when I have time, I can see if I can create more variants of Sea Gold Sand.”

The Coronet Hill Library is a free treasure trove.

There is a lot of information in it that can give you ideas that you have never thought of before, helping you to quickly lock in special synthetic formulas or cultivate special subspecies.

Then, Locke went into the study and began to write a project application based on the experimental data he had collected previously.

…

A month later, Locke walked into the public laboratory and into the office of the team leader of the Celtic second-ring wizard.

I have already written my project application, although according to the contract, I do not need the approval of the Celtic Second Ring Wizard, I only need the signature of my co-mentor.

But Witch Ekaterina was very busy, and in the past two months, he had only met her once with a group of people during a group meeting.

Because he hadn’t yet entered the first ring crystallization stage, there was no need for him to waste her busy time and spend an hour on himself to select advanced meditation methods.

So, for the time being, Locke did not ask the witch Ekaterina for help.

And in these two months, Witch Ekaterina never contacted him once. Maybe she was too busy, or maybe he was not special among her cooperating wizards. She had dozens of cooperating students from the Academy of True Knowledge.

But in short, the Celtic wizard has a magic seal with the name of Queen Catherine on it. As long as the Celtic wizard thinks it is okay, he can stamp the seal on his project application.

Then, you can go to the White Wizard Association branch, the Fund Management Department to submit the project application.

Of course, the Celtic wizard could not block himself, because he was just a ruthless stamping machine set up by the Catherine throne to save trouble, and he only had a little right to make his own judgment.

If the Celtic wizard makes any trouble, Locke can just ask Witch Catherine to sign directly.

It’s just a little more troublesome that way.

In the office of the Group Six leader, the Celtic Second Ring Wizard looked at Locke and said, “You finished the preliminary experimental data in two months and wrote a project application?”

The Celtic second-ring wizard nodded slightly. Of course, he agreed with the good parts.

He wished that all the six groups were capable wizards, so that his pressure would be much less.

The Celtic wizard frowned. “Just a question. In the past two months, the wizards in the six groups told me that you’ve barely discussed anything with them, nor asked for any data.”

“You haven’t come to ask for my advice. Actually, although I have a lot of opinions about you, I’m still happy to discuss academic matters with you. Let me see what you’ve come up with after two months of closed-door research.”

The Celtic wizard looked up and looked at Locke.

The Celtic wizard looked at the title of the project application and immediately frowned, because the topic chosen by Locke was actually the symbiotic relationship between avian magical creatures and pineapple magical plants.

This obviously has no overlap with the current research directions of the six groups.

The Celtic wizard frowned, his tone cold. “The worst I imagined has happened. You’ve done the same thing as that researcher from the Academy of Advanced Knowledge who was previously dismissed. He, too, ignored my advice and continued his own research.”

The Celtic wizard said, “Our six groups concentrated on most of the research on pineapple-like magical creatures twenty years ago and achieved great results. Therefore, our six groups have recently focused their main efforts on the relationship between ant-like magical creatures and madder-like magical plants.”

“That was the direction chosen under the leadership of the previous leader of Group 6. Queen Catherine was very patient and did not interfere too much.”

“I suggest you…hmm?” The Celtic wizard read on. With his sensitivity to data, he immediately realized that the quality of the preliminary experimental data of the project application in front of him was extremely high.

“How many magic stones did you spend to produce such high-quality data in advance?”

The Celtic wizard’s tone warmed a little. “Although you made the same choice as that idiot, you are undoubtedly far more capable than he is. This project application has very high quality requirements, so if you insist on applying, I have no choice but to agree.”

“But… the number of projects you have to do is too many.”

“If it were streamlined to just one thing, it might be better.”

The Celtic wizard frowned, because he saw that Locke’s project application actually required an analysis of the coexistence relationship between four types of pineapple magical plants and specific magical creatures.

However, in order to avoid appearing strange, Locke did not mention the Big Yellow Duck Crown Pineapple in the project application, nor did he mention the natural magic structure components of the royal lightning field.

Although Locke confirmed that it was a natural magical structure component that had not yet been discovered and existed in nature.

He simply mentioned in the project application that the Big Yellow Duck Pineapple might have other natural magical structural components that might be beneficial to the growth of Lightning Bees, and clearly explained the fact that Thunderbirds enhanced their natural reproductive capacity by eating Lightning Bees.

The Celtic wizard looked at Locke in confusion and said, “I admit that the data from each of your preliminary experiments is extremely solid. You’ve done a better job than I imagined.”

“But aren’t you too impatient? You’re actually exploring four pineapple-like magical plants at once.”

The Celtic wizard was still thinking about the two projects he had wanted to give Locke. “However, if you’re interested, you can do both of them at the same time.”

Locke shook his head slightly. “Sorry, Professor Celtic, I’m still interested in the topic mentioned in this project application.”

“I think…interest is more important.”

“I will be more motivated to do what I am interested in.”

The Celtic wizard looked at the project application in his hand, somewhat unwillingly, and frowned, saying, “If you can listen to me and work together with our six groups, things will become much easier. Forget it…”

He muttered under his breath, “Young people just need to hit a wall before they know where to turn.”
