Chapter 260 Skill Enhancement and Evolution, Project Submission, Shocking Rock Forging, Master-Level "Witchcraft Repair"
In the laboratory, Ian put down the furnace component that he had just crafted, which contained the extracted runes.
Same as before.
He adopted a method of dividing the furnace into individual parts for refining, while simultaneously improving his proficiency.
This is also the most practical method he has verified.
"Finally reached Master level! My talent points are at 10,000!"
Ian took a deep breath.
Feeling the changes.
It seems that there is more silver stardust, whether in terms of elemental perception or insight into principles.
And various other subtle changes.
Although it wasn't as significant as the progress between different levels, it can indeed be described as a small transformation.
It was at least 10% stronger.
But these are not the most important things.
"Skill complementation has changed."
19
Ian's eyes lit up.
This skill, which appeared at 5,000 talent points, finally evolved again at 10,000 talent points.
Open the panel.
Ian's gaze shifted to the tremors in the ley lines.
The same supplementary information was provided, but with much more content added.
"Three defects can be remedied."
"Defect 1: Low energy conduction efficiency (requires mastery of knowledge such as 'Earth Vein Resonance Theory'), after improvement: Earth vein vibration range increased by 30%, reaction speed increased by 50%."
Defect 2: Material energy compatibility (requires master-level knowledge of "Element Diffusion Laws"), after improvement: can simultaneously sense earth vein fluctuations in three different locations. Defect 3: Poor synergy with fire elements (requires master-level knowledge of "Fire-Earth Transformation Principles"), after improvement:
The area where fire and earth meet produces a "lava amplification" effect.
"Optimal path summary: 1→2→3."
Ian took a deep breath.
Improved skills to make up for deficiencies.
It provides additional benefits and the optimal approach.
It seems rather useless.
But it holds great significance for Ian.
"In the past, only by elevating the knowledge to a very high level could one roughly know what would be supplemented, but now it is explained directly."
That way, I can improve in a more targeted manner.
Ian pondered.
He has many skills, and his core skills are very useful, but that doesn't mean the others are useless.
Things like the Microscopic Eye actually need to be improved.
But he can't improve everything to perfection; he can only want to improve in one or two areas.
This was originally a troublesome matter.
But now it's completely resolved.
"That includes my modifications to the furnace."
Ian squinted.
The Forge has seven core runes, but only three of them are actually late-game Tier 1 runes; the rest are mid-game Tier 1 runes.
Over the past year, he has upgraded two core runes to Master level and also upgraded his first core rune twice.
But of the two times, only one was actually what he needed.
This is undoubtedly a waste of time.
In the future, he will be able to study in a more targeted manner.
Time is too precious for him.
Thinking about this...
He looked at the rest of the panel.
Name: Ian Green
Age: 28
[Talent: 10000]
[Strength: First-Ring Wizard (Third Crystal 48/100), Silver Bone (30/100)]
[Skills: First Ring Superior: Earth Tremor (Master Level 1), Solidification Technique (Third Layer - Expert 1/400), Four Symbols Resonance Technique (Expert 100/400), Microscopic Eye (Master Level), Forging Hand (Master Level), Artifact Repair (Expert 150/400).....]
[Talents: Photographic Memory, Multitasking, Elemental Affinity (Tier 1), Insight (Tier 1), Plant Identification (Zero Ring)]
"My mental strength is already at forty-eight, so a foundation of fifty is definitely not a problem."
Ian nodded in satisfaction.
In addition, Silver Bones has also improved significantly.
Over the past year, he has helped the team complete a number of repairs.
As a result, his artifact repair skills were improved, and he also obtained a lot of Earth Mercury.
"It's just a pity that there's still a little less."
He shook his head.
The Earth Vein Essence can basically meet his requirements, but it cannot provide a smooth upgrade; while the Earth Mercury has not even met the basic requirements.
"However, the former should be close to the end of this year's project settlement."
Ian thought to himself.
He found a proposal for improving the refining furnace.
Although he only learned two core runes and some low-level runes, it was enough to make some changes based on the supplements.
"The purification rate can be improved by about 5%, and the temperature can be increased by 10%."
Ian was not satisfied.
After all, compared to before, this improvement is really nothing.
"But that should be enough to handle things with the academy."
He thought to himself.
He has no shortage of magic stones, but he lacks these precious resources.
The past year.
The academy's journals and supplements brought him 100,000 magic stones in revenue.
Although the sales trend has decreased, it is still not a problem for him to earn tens of thousands of magic stones in the next year or two.
Beyond Ian's imagination.
It can only be said that the once-in-a-decade supplement still attracted the attention of quite a few wizards.
"Let's go find Iwa-zukuri."
He walked toward the mining area.
Yan Zhu is the core person in charge of the mine, and any modification to the furnace would inevitably involve him.
His model has been designed, but it still lacks some concrete data, which can only be obtained here.
soon.
He met Yan Zhu.
"You actually managed to build the new purification furnace for testing?"
Yan Zhu suddenly stood up from behind the table.
A year had not left any marks on his face, but at this moment, the half-elemental wizard was excited.
"Yes, the basic model is out, but it may need to be tested here at the mine."
Ian nodded.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Yan Zhu was filled with excitement.
soon.
A model was taken out of the Void Armlet by Ian, and only this space could store it.
"It doesn't look like there's that much change?"
Yan Zhu looked at the furnace in front of him; it was almost identical to the one before.
"The improvements are mainly in the runes and energy structure; there aren't many improvements to the components."
Ian explained.
His explanation only made Yan Zhu lose even more hope.
The most perfect part of the Forge is its core runes, which are things that come from advanced academies.
Even those second-level alchemists.
It didn't work either.
Ian...
"Someone, go and fetch some semi-finished products."
However, he eventually gave instructions to some wizards, and soon a large amount of materials were delivered.
Beside the new purification furnace.
Not only the two of them, but also many of the furnace's managers joined in the onlookers.
Ian had been here quite a bit over the past year, so they were quite familiar with his project.
Deep down, he didn't believe Ian could successfully improve it.
This person graduated from a prestigious academy.
Things from advanced colleges are always good.
That's their simple mindset.
"Let's begin."
Yan Zhu took a deep breath and then gave the order, and the servants immediately sent the semi-finished product into the furnace.
Suddenly, the patterns on the surface of the furnace emitted a dark red light.
Everyone held their breath.
A few minutes later.
On the other side of the furnace, the essence of the earth veins slowly flowed out from a pipe, emitting a pale yellow light.
Drop by drop.
In the end, only a thin layer was collected.
"Go get tested."
Rockcastle turned to Ian and said.
So the two of them walked together toward the mine's inspection area and soon arrived at a professional laboratory.
The essence of the earth's veins was taken for testing.
"The quality of this batch of earth vein essence seems to have improved by about one percent compared to the standard."
""
An experimenter came over with the results.
really.
Yan Zhu sighed inwardly.
A percentage as low as one percent is within the normal range, which means that the new furnace does not improve this aspect at all.
The other wizards also looked disappointed.
"but...
'
The experimenter's expression suddenly became complicated.
"But what?"
Yan Zhu was taken aback.
"We just delivered about ten tons of semi-finished products, and ten drops were extracted here. However, our extraction efficiency was only about nine and a half drops, which is about five percent higher than our previous efficiency."
The experimenter also looked incredulous.
The furnace's efficiency actually did improve.
And a full five percent.
"Five percent?"
Yan Zhu was also stunned for a moment.
So many?
Don't underestimate this five percent; over the years, it adds up to a considerable amount.
For large-scale gold refining equipment in such mines.
That's already a significant improvement.
It's comparable to a small magical artifact increasing power by 20-30%.
"Ian, the academy really underestimated your abilities. You're amazing."
He turned to look at Ian, his expression completely changed.
Previously, he had been more inclined to favor Ian over his junior, but with this ability, he no longer had that right.
Even in the eyes of some people in the college.
Ian might weigh even more than him.
"You're too kind, sir. This is only the first round of testing; we need more specific data."
Ian said modestly.
"Oh right, right, right."
Rock Cast nodded.
In the blink of an eye.
Several days have passed.
More specific experimental data were obtained, which basically matched Ian's assumptions.
"Next, we send this document back to the college, and after review, we can apply for the second batch of resources. The transformation has only just begun."
Ian and Rockcastle were drinking tea together, discussing the matter.
"It's only just begun?"
Yan Zhu was taken aback.
"Yes, I don't fully understand this equipment yet. I've only made minor improvements. I need more manpower and more resources."
Ian sighed.
"Don't worry, I'll apply to the college right away!"
Yan Zhu immediately patted his chest.
Just kidding, he'll be the one to benefit then. He's really putting in the effort now, and he has some connections at the academy.
Ian nodded.
With Rock Casting's support, the academy will definitely pay more attention to it, and we might be able to get more resources.
soon.
This document was sent to the college.
"The improvement actually worked! A five percent increase in efficiency?"
Zeno, the scholar, was somewhat surprised as he looked at the document.
He had reviewed Ian's documents, but he hadn't expected that Ian would actually be able to produce something.
Let's look at the new application.
"Why did you apply for so many resources? Thirty grams of earth vein essence were applied for in one month, plus other miscellaneous cultivation resources, and you even asked your laboratory to send people over."
His eyes flickered.
But it was approved without hesitation.
All these events have proven Ian's talent in academics and alchemy.
Even if they don't become core members in the future, they will definitely have a place in the academy.
Of course, this still needs to be approved, but he believes Ian wouldn't lie to him about this.
This needs to be checked by the nearest second-level alchemist.
"Rolf?"
He looked at the name and sent the message.
the other side.
Rolf was also taken aback when he received the news.
"It actually succeeded?"
He was stunned.
.
The message instructed him to inspect the improved refining furnace and to make a record of the findings.
He genuinely didn't take it seriously before.
I also thought Ian would most likely fail.
But now it seems...
"I have to go."
soon.
In the mine, Rolf saw Ian and Rockcastle waiting, and a new furnace that had been installed nearby.
Let's take a look.
"The runes and energy cycle have been optimized, resulting in improved temperature and purification capabilities."
After the examination, Rolf's gaze towards Ian even held a hint of fervor.
He is clearly such an outstanding alchemy genius.
Why would he be a student of Kieran, a pure elemental wizard?
What a waste!
"No problem, I'll contact the college soon. Your application should be fine."
He shook his head and said.
"Thank you, sir."
Ian was quite surprised.
Surprisingly, all the resources he applied for were approved.
Ask the reviewer.
He then understood the reason.
"As expected of a great scholar, his vision is indeed excellent."
He smiled to himself.
soon.
Ian's project has been approved.
Resources were also delivered.
Also arriving were Hayden and Finney, along with several alchemists, all of whom were former staff members of Ian's laboratory.
To Ian's surprise, Thea was also sent over.
"The teacher sent us to help you."
Thea looked at Ian with eyes full of love and admiration.
This time, she applied for the position herself.
That would be wonderful.
""
Ian's eyes lit up.
If a senior alchemist were involved in the project, it would definitely be faster; he could save even more time.
And it's been a long time since I've seen Thea.
I do miss it a little.
Of course, more importantly, more resources have arrived, allowing him to continue rapidly improving his mental strength.
And the project was completed.
It was quickly entered into the academy, and it also attracted the attention of many wizards.
Many wizards have once again raised their opinion of Ian.
Even Leonard found out about it.
"They can even improve such large-scale creations?"
In the midst of the battle, Leonard's eyes flickered.
The improvements made to large-scale creations are completely different from those made to lower-level ones.
In this way.
He does seem to have underestimated Ian's potential.
"We can lower the exchange rate of mercury from the earth a bit more."
He pondered for a moment.
A decision has been made.
Several days later.
Ian also discovered this when he went to the chapter to redeem his tokens.
"Old Henry, why has the price dropped by a third?"
Ian looked at the old wizard in front of him.
He wore a black wizard's robe and looked very old, but he was also a powerful being who had become a half-elemental being.
He was the quartermaster of the battle group, and he was the one who handled every exchange of Earth Mercury.
"It's Lord Leonard's idea."
Old Henry said.
"The master also said that in the future, we might need your expertise in improving the Stormspear airship, or even repairing its core components!"
Old Henry said with a smile.
But he didn't think much of it.
Airships are not comparable to furnaces, let alone core components; they are more likely just the expectations of adults.
It's about the future.
"Uh-huh.
""
Ian nodded.
His magical artifact repair skills are almost at the master level, so he might actually be able to help.
"Don't worry, that day will never come. The Storm Spear is invincible."
Old Henry said with a smile.
Ian nodded.
They headed outwards.
On the way, he encountered a wizard who commissioned him to make a magical artifact. Ian readily agreed, as it was originally an agreement between him and Leonard.
And just after leaving the battle.
He suddenly sensed elemental fluctuations behind him, turned around, and saw the Storm Spear slowly rising into the air.
"Out on another mission, how impressive! I really want one!"
He felt a sense of longing when he thought of his own swift.
The project has been approved.
Ian's life returned to normal.
At this point, there was still a year before the initial screening for core members.
Currently, it seems that there shouldn't be any major issues with mental strength and its proportion; the remaining issues are the purity of mental strength and the degree of integration with the domain.
The former has Jade Spirit Tea.
He had already used one portion over the past year, so the purity of his mental energy had increased significantly.
"But it's still not enough. I have too much spiritual power, and it's still increasing as my talent improves. It's not just about taking supplements; it also depends on myself."
He pondered.
He had a late-stage wizard's Emerald Spirit Tea and felt he needed at least three.
He already has two copies, so he'll have to rely on himself for the last one.
I don’t know if it will be completely finished in a year, but even if it isn’t, the purity shouldn’t be too bad.
Secondly, there's the degree of integration with the domain.
"The Earth Tremor has been upgraded to Master level, which requires four additional spells. I have already completed one, but I still need to continue working on it. The next step is to upgrade the Meditation spell to Master level as well."
Ian squinted.
The first two layers were perfect, and their impact on the degree of fusion was greater than he had imagined.
Meditation techniques must be mastered.
However, now that the resources have arrived, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"So we need to continue improving, including physical training."
He pondered.
His plan was to train his body and his mental strength simultaneously, not wanting to neglect either too much.
Now the mercury in the earth has increased by one-third, which should be enough to meet his needs.
"Then let's keep improving."
He took a deep breath.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months later.
While Ian hasn't broken through in meditation, he has finally reached the master level in another skill he's been eagerly anticipating.
"Master level in artifact repair, talent bonus +250."
Talent: 10000 → 10250
You have gained the talent: "Object Perception"
