Chapter 236 Elena's Shock, Unexpected Gain, Staff Modification Completed!
With the establishment of the project team and the completion of the scholar promotion ceremony.
Ian's life returned to normal.
The laboratory became his long-awaited place, and his proficiency in the second part improved day by day.
However, the news of the project team's formation eventually spread within the department.
This also surprised many wizards.
It was even more laughable.
A beginner alchemist at the first level actually wanted to modify the white crystal staff.
"Outlandish!"
In a laboratory, Ouf shook his head at his son.
"The white crystal staff has been optimized many times. I don't think there's anything else that needs to be modified. Even if there are modifications, they would be extremely minor details that wouldn't significantly improve the staff. Even if we figured them out, it would be meaningless."
It seems more like they're trying to extract research resources than conducting research; I just don't know how Thea got involved too.
"I see."
Hearing this, Connor relaxed a lot.
"Complete your project well, earn at least five thousand battle merits, and that will be enough to widen the gap between you," said Wizard Of.
"Understood, Father!"
Connor nodded.
In the blink of an eye.
A month later.
"Fire Spirit Alloy has reached Master level, talent bonus +50."
"Talent: 6100 → 6150".
Seeing that the new batch of materials had reached the Master level, Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
There are two pieces left.
Two more months is enough, especially since he's studying harmonic resonance and Elena's witchcraft.
The former relates to the further development of meditation techniques, while the latter relates to new projects.
At this point, the latter had already reached the Master level.
"I'll go find Elena tomorrow, and then I can enter the Wind Abyss."
Ian pondered.
Because he had sufficient resources and improved his talent, his meditation speed was quite fast.
Over the past two months, it has improved by 4 points, almost doubling compared to before.
It reached 34/100.
"But it's still not enough."
Ian shook his head. At this rate, he would barely reach 100 points in three years.
But what he wants is to meet the promotion standard in three years.
Therefore, Fengyuan is still not to be missed, and of course, there is also the completion of the meditation method.
I wonder what kind of improvement will occur after it's fully completed.
A glint of anticipation flashed in Ian's eyes.
"Thea, I need to go to Wind Whisper Academy tomorrow. Could you please help me with the materials?"
Ian said to Thea, who was not far away.
"Okay." Thea nodded, but sighed inwardly.
For the past month, I've been dealing with materials every day, and there's absolutely no indication that I intend to modify the white crystal staff.
The thought that Ian might be trying to scam funding couldn't help but cross her mind.
the next day.
Ian arrived at Wind Whisper Academy.
Led by Green Wing, they arrived at Elena's wizard tower.
"Ian, you're here earlier than I expected," Elena said, looking at Ian.
But considering Ian's insights into zero-ring sorcery, it's not surprising.
At the same time, a hint of anticipation flashed through her mind.
That is, just how many problems can Ian discover?
The witchcraft she gave Ian for testing was carefully selected; she believed it produced numerous flaws, making it almost pointless.
The number reached five.
"Eight flaws in total, it seems to be a test from Lady Elena for me."
1
Ian was also reminiscing at this moment.
With so many flaws, this is definitely not what normal witchcraft should have.
Therefore, it can only be a test for Elena.
The discovery was too horrifying, so Ian selected five questions from them.
He believed that two months was more than enough time.
He then slowly took out a report and handed it to Elena.
Elena took it and started flipping through it.
"Is this vulnerability legitimate? Have you provided a solution?"
She turned to the first page and looked at the questions; they were indeed designed by her.
Not bad.
The second one is still possible.
Thirdly, the improvement plan was surprisingly ingenious.
At this point, Elena was actually quite surprised.
Because it's only been two months.
Identifying three problems and providing solutions was enough to entice him.
But it seems the report isn't finished yet.
"The fourth one is fine too."
Elena suppressed her surprise and turned to the last page.
"The fifth one... wait, this problem doesn't seem to be one I designed?"
Her eyes widened.
The last flaw wasn't in the last part of her design; it was an idea that hadn't been anticipated.
She didn't even realize it at the time.
Hiss!
This ability?
"You've been accepted. Bring your identification documents." She said this almost without hesitation.
Ian handed it over.
A few seconds later, the identification document flew back, and Ian discovered that he had gained two more permissions.
"Starting today, you can freely enter and leave Wind Whisper Academy, and Green Wing won't need to escort you anymore. Secondly, during the project, you can freely use all the facilities in Wind Whisper Academy, excluding any additional expenses." Elena said, "Thank you, sir."
Suppressing his excitement, Ian said respectfully.
"Work hard. If your contribution to the project is sufficient, I will consider adding your name to the paper. I'm preparing to publish the Elemental Mysteries, which can directly meet one of the requirements for your promotion to senior scholar," Elena continued.
"A senior scholar?"
Ian was a little curious.
"To advance to the level of senior scholar, you need to publish an article in Elemental Mysteries or have an article on the cover of Elemental Latitude and Longitude. Secondly, you need to publish two articles in Elemental Latitude and Longitude Zone 1. However, the cover of Spark Collection is special, so it can also be counted as one article," Elena explained.
In other words, if one can leave their name, then all that's missing is an article in Zone 1?
Ian realized what was happening.
His eyes lit up.
The benefits that scholars bring him are still significant, not to mention those who are senior scholars.
"Moreover, once a total war breaks out, no one will be spared. If you are a senior scholar, you will have many job options."
Elena added with a smile.
"clear."
Ian nodded, his desire growing stronger.
"Now that you've joined the project team, I have to tell you what this project is. It mainly focuses on a systematic study of the wind element, from the zero ring to the second ring. You can choose the zero ring and the first ring parts," Elena said to him.
Then a knowledge crystal flew out.
Upon inspection, Ian saw dozens, even hundreds, of wind-attribute sorcery and meditation techniques arranged together.
With just one glance, Ian saw several spells that could fill the gap in the Wind Barrier.
"My lord, let me finish this first, Storm Thrust."
Ian chose an early-stage first-circle sorcery spell.
"Okay, I hope you can provide a solution for first-level witchcraft within six months."
Elena said.
"Understood. May I ask how long you plan to sustain this project, sir?" Ian suddenly asked.
"About two to three years."
Ian nodded.
Fortunately, I have plenty of time. Once I'm done with this busy period, I can dedicate some of my time to this.
It will be used to complete his second floor.
Goodbye, Elena.
Ian was naturally eager to head to Wind Abyss.
Outside the Wind Abyss, a magical array prevents wizards from entering, but Ian has already qualified.
I got in without any problems.
I went straight to the position ten times that of the last time and began meditating.
"That's awesome! The efficiency is almost 1.5 times that of before."
Ian opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.
This way, he can reach the limit of the middle stage of the first ring more quickly.
Moreover, he actually felt a sense of urgency.
After all, although there are still more than three years left, who knows if something unexpected will happen and war will break out.
He must become stronger.
"Let's walk a little further in."
Ian glanced into the depths of the Wind Abyss.
He felt he could go further in and see where his limits were.
He slowly got up and walked inside.
Eleven times.
Twelve times.
Thirteen times.
"It's about thirteen times the size; this place is actually more suitable for me."
Ian sensed something and was about to try meditation when he saw what appeared to be a wizard lying unconscious on the ground not far away.
Looking through the Eye of Harmony, one could see a rather pretty young girl.
His hair, eyebrows, and eyes were a pale blue color; he was unconscious and suffering from the erosion of wind elements.
"His mental energy was completely unaffected; he was truly unconscious."
Ian was startled, so he quickly went over and used his wizard's hand to pull him up and walk towards the outside of the Wind Abyss.
He was still using the facilities of another hospital, so naturally we couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
If she remains unconscious like this and no one notices, she could really encounter an accident.
soon.
He led the wizard outside, giving her a potion of spiritual power along the way.
When she reached the door, her eyes slowly blinked and then opened.
"Wait, I'm unconscious. Where am I?"
Nicole Edwards' mind was in complete chaos.
The image of being attacked by mental energy during his attempt at witchcraft was still replaying in his mind.
"Was he rescued? So cool!"
She looked at Ian beside her and immediately understood.
Seeing that the girl had woken up, Ian turned around and gently laid her down.
"Thank you, I'm Nicole. Thank you so much, senior." The girl said, observing Ian as she expressed her gratitude.
A scholar's precept? The attire of the Shishoin Academy?
Is he a senior student from the college?
"My name is Ian. Now that you're alright, I'll go back inside and continue meditating."
Ian nodded, seeing that she seemed to be alright, and said.
"Okay, thank you very much." Nicole nodded and handed Ian a magic stone.
It appears to be of higher quality than a mid-grade magic stone, and contains more magic power.
High-grade magic stone?
Ian was stunned. This was the first time he had ever seen a high-grade magic stone, worth a hundred mid-grade magic stones.
So generous?
"Please accept it. I was in such a remote place back then. If you hadn't found me, some wind elemental might have popped out and killed me." Thinking of this, Nicole suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
After the elemental multiplier is increased tenfold, wind elemental creatures may randomly appear.
Their gazes toward Ian were filled with even more gratitude, and a strange emotion even arose within them.
"it is good."
Ian didn't stand on ceremony and took it directly.
"Let's exchange contact information. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. I still have some connections at Fengyu Academy."
"Can."
After exchanging contact information, Nicole waved goodbye to Ian. Although she wanted to go in with Ian, his mental strength had been damaged to some extent.
Ian sent Greenwing a message asking if he knew Nicole.
Soon, the message arrived.
"Nicole is the best of our generation, and her father is the vice dean of Wind Whisper Academy, who owns a large private estate and is even richer than the dean."
A rich woman, huh?
No wonder... then we can try to get to know each other in the future.
Meeting Nicole was just a minor incident.
Ian quickly forgot about it.
Ian's life returned to normal, except that he now meditated in the Wind Abyss.
And then for a period of time.
He felt he kept running into Nicole inside, and the two became quite familiar with each other.
In the blink of an eye.
Two months have passed.
"Finally, the last two parts are finished."
Ian looked at his talent, which had now been upgraded to 6250, and the two newly appeared master-level materials.
He let out a long breath.
Then, he immediately chose to supplement it, and four skills flew to the white crystal staff forging process.
Suddenly, a large amount of knowledge entered his brain.
In his mind, it seemed as if he had made countless improvements and attempts to improve the white crystal staff.
Finally, the latest version of the attempt was successful, and this time, the materials of the staff have been completely changed.
Thinking about the new version of the staff.
Ian was pleasantly surprised.
Not far away, Thea raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly as she looked at Ian.
"So, they really were just trying to scam project funding?"
She sighed.
I thought there was still hope, but Ian has been practicing with the materials during this time.
She saw absolutely no possibility of improving the staff.
But it doesn't matter anymore; he's going to leave after today.
"Thea, go find the white meteorite iron right now..." Suddenly, she heard Ian rattle off dozens of materials.
"OK."
Thea paused for a moment, but then nodded.
Since she hasn't left yet, she has to fulfill her duties as an assistant; that's her work ethic.
The materials were retrieved quickly.
Then she saw Ian take out several of them and begin refining them.
soon.
A new material slowly emerged.
"What is this?" Thea was stunned.
"The new material used for the white crystal staff can greatly improve the efficiency of mana transmission and reduce its loss," Ian explained.
A new staff?
She was stunned when she saw Ian take the rest of the white crystal staff.
The refining process has begun.
She was watching from the side when she saw a new staff appear.
"Let's test it out." Ian tossed the staff to Thea.
Thea took it and quickly went to each of the experimental instruments to begin testing.
A dozen minutes later, data appeared before her eyes.
"The conduction efficiency has increased by twenty percent, and the loss has decreased by fifteen percent, but the cost of this staff..." Thea thought about the materials she had just used, her pupils dilating, "And the cost has also decreased by ten percent!"
A comprehensive enhancement?
"That's it?"
Thea's throat moved slightly, and she even felt her whole body trembling.
"No, only the first part."
Then Ian took off his staff and spoke slowly.
"Part One?"
Thea's throat moved slightly.
"Yes, what about the cane head and the connecting parts? I've already thought it through. Let's get started. It might be tough on you," Ian said to Thea.
"It's not hard at all."
Thea was no longer thinking about anything else; she was completely filled with excitement.
In the blink of an eye.
Three days have passed.
"The runes were modified, and then the materials were changed. Overall, the cost was reduced by 20%, but the hardness increased by 30%, the loss decreased by 20%, and the power increased by 30%."
In the laboratory, Ian and Thea looked at the data transmitted from the experimental instruments.
It worked!
"Ian, you're a genius!"
Thea even abandoned her usual aloofness and excitedly gave Ian a hug.
This made Ian feel as if he were trapped in a ball of cotton.
But just a few seconds later, Thea let go, her face flushed.
Damn it!
She felt a little embarrassed; it was all because she had been too excited earlier.
Ian recalled the sensation from earlier, and he had to admit, Thea was really well-endowed.
"Go and inform the teacher."
The blush gradually faded, Thea said.
"Can."
Ian nodded. After working so hard for so long, it was time to reap the rewards.
