Chapter 362 Changes in Status, Taking Stock of Directions, Alchemy Assistant, Darwin's Shock!

After the conference concluded.

The entire academy was thrown into a frenzy of celebration.

For almost half a month, Ian was attending various banquets.

Because of the hospital's commendation, the banquet was of a much higher standard than before.

Almost all of them feature characters from the late second ring stage or above.

Ian met many new and powerful wizards in the academy. It was then that Ian realized that, in addition to those on the surface, the academy had so many powerful wizards and families.

One month later.

The resources Ian exchanged are arriving one after another.

"Most of them are water-related resources, so we won't have to worry about supplies for at least the next year or two."

Inside the Resources Department, Ian accepted the storage ring, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

This war.

In just one month.

However, the gains were enormous. Not to mention the various fire-attribute resources he received directly from the academy, which were almost enough to meet his requirements for improving his sorcery.

Other gains could even allow him to exchange for sufficient cultivation resources, or even other things.

"This is a complete set of alchemical equipment belonging to a mid-level second-circle alchemist. Under normal circumstances, such a set would be extremely rare, and it's only possible to obtain it through a war like this. It was contributed by the Winster family."

Bryce remarked with emotion.

The impatience in his tone was gone.

The wizard before me was no longer the same as he had been back then; he had even gained some fame within the second ring of the academy.

Especially snippets of information passed down from the battlefield.

This also seems to indicate that this person's potential in combat is not weak.

In addition to his alchemical skills, especially the various reports in the summary of this war.

Who would dare to underestimate this wizard who has just entered the mid-stage of the second ring?

Even though he was the Deputy Minister of Resources, this was still the case.

He felt that the wizard in front of him was...

As long as he doesn't die, he'll start as a wizard at his level in the future, which is the main reason for his change in attitude.

"From the Winster family!"

Ian looked at the corner of the spatial ring, where a complete set of devices was neatly arranged, including an observation eye and a carving knife with flame patterns.

Compared to the system provided by Darwin, this system is not only more complete, but also at a much higher level.

However, the latter was only the minister's first set of equipment when he was young.

He just didn't expect that it would be contributed to the academy by the Winster family.

"Wait, could it be from Nash's gains?"

Ian's eyes looked strange.

When he was killed, he glanced to the side as if there was an alchemist's room nearby.

if so.

That's an interesting thing.

"Deputy Minister Bryce, there's something else I'd like to ask you. Is it really true that there aren't any high-level incubation facilities?"

Ian suddenly asked.

He wants to hatch a fire dragon.

This isn't something that can be hatched simply by leaving it to grow naturally; it's actually a step that requires a lot of attention.

So he originally planned to buy an incubation device from the college.

After all, he had never refined this thing before, and if he were to refine it himself, it might take him a very long time.

Moreover.

He's not short of money lately.

"no."

Bryce shook his head, then changed the subject, saying, "But if you really need it, I can introduce you to the head of the Warcraft Department. He's a good friend of mine, and he should be able to help you."

Ian's eyes lit up immediately.

The academy actually has many logistics departments. Apart from core departments such as the Alchemy Department and the Potions Department, the Monster Department is a small department responsible for breeding various monster resources needed by the academy.

He had thought about it too.

However, this department was completely different from his past experience, and he had no familiar connections with anyone there.

As the Deputy Minister of Resources, Bryce has a wide network of connections, so it's quite normal for him to know people like that.

"Thank you very much, sir. I wonder..."

Ian immediately expressed his gratitude.

His eyes, however, were fixed on Bryce.

It seemed they were asking him if he needed any benefits, which is basically standard procedure in the academy.

"You can go directly. Just give my name. No payment is required," Bryce said with a smile.

"Then thank you, sir."

Ian, of course, did not believe it.

Generally speaking, if you don't expect anything in return for your efforts, it's either a scam or they want more.

The former is highly unlikely.

So it must be the latter.

But Ian was also confident that he would be able to repay this favor in the future.

So she gladly accepted.

Warcraft Division.

It is located to the east of the elemental mysteries.

It is a vast grassland.

Ian just arrived.

In front of them, thousands of acres of land were divided into individual spaces, where various common magical beasts were raised.

The smell of blood, urine, and screams...

Guided by the department wizard, he met the department head, Joel Kendrick.

"You must be Ian. You certainly look exceptionally talented. I've heard so much about you. I've wanted to get to know you since the tournament, but unfortunately, I haven't had the chance." Joel, a middle-aged wizard in a blue wizard's robe, greeted Ian with a smile.

"Greetings, Lord Joel."

.

Ian said respectfully.

The person in front of me is, after all, a minister-level figure, at the late stage of the Second Ring Road.

"My lord, what brings me here?"

Ian spoke.

"Bryce already spoke to me; the department has some incubation rooms available. Are you interested?"

"Joel asked."

Ian didn't hide it either.

Take the fire dragon egg out directly.

Looking at the red and black striped egg, which was half a person's height, Joel took a half step back, his eyes widening.

"This is?"

His breath hitched.

"The egg of the fire dragon, an unexpected gain in this war."

Ian said directly.

The magical pets will definitely make an appearance in the future, and there shouldn't be any problem with them being shown. As for Aaron's side...

Ian had already sent a message to the dean when he discovered the dragon egg.

The latter simply told him to take good care of himself.

So there's nothing to worry about.

"OK."

Joel nodded and said, "The academy only has a few hatching rooms that can meet the requirements for these high-level magical beast eggs. There is currently one vacancy. However, some energy can be supplied through the hatching room during the hatching process, but you will have to provide that resource yourself."

"Of course, this certainly won't trouble you, sir."

Ian expressed his gratitude.

As for what resources to use, it goes without saying that they are naturally the bloodline crystals of dragons, as they are the most suitable.

soon.

Upon arriving at the incubation room, Ian settled the dragon eggs, thanked Joel again, and then left.

Return to the Wizard's Tower.

"My lord, the new elemental branch has been connected."

Farn respectfully opened the door for Ian.

"Three crystals already?"

Ian glanced at him.

"Yes, sir, thanks to you!" Farn said respectfully.

"Good job, keep up the good work. If you really reach that level, I can support you with resources for advancing to the second ring road."

Ian said.

"Thank you, sir."

Farn's face lit up with surprise.

soon.

Ian returned to the meditation room.

Unlike before, the elemental concentration in the meditation room was now almost twice as high.

This was Ian using contribution points to take over the new elemental branch, and it was also his biggest expense.

But that's enough for him to use until the later stages of the second ring.

"Next, it's time to return to college life."

Ian took a deep breath.

The matter of Crimson Eyes is over.

Then the pressure on Ian decreased dramatically.

Of course, a sharp decrease doesn't mean there's nothing left; in fact, it could be even greater. Once the mineral vein issue comes to light, no one knows how things will go.

"Therefore, I need to make myself as strong as possible before the mineral vein is discovered. The late stage of the second ring is not only a requirement of the Elemental Child preparation sequence, but also a new qualitative change effect."

Ian's eyes flickered.

In the second stage, from the initial to the middle stage, it is possible to break through the 30% threshold, while from the middle to the later stage it is 50%.

not only that.

The three extraordinary organs will essentially form a cycle, leading to a qualitative change, in addition to elemental transformation.

The later stage and the middle stage are two separate phases.

This is why high-ranking positions are generally held later in life.

This is also Ian's goal for the next few years.

"And then there's the project team and the department."

Ian's eyes flickered.

Improving one's strength is one thing, but neither of these aspects can be neglected, as they relate to his status within the academy.

This may seem insignificant.

However, this was the foundation upon which he was able to cultivate steadily.

Moreover, these two are also his means of acquiring important resources.

In this war, he mainly acquired fire-attribute resources and elemental crystals.

These are the two most important parts.

The former was used to supplement his witchcraft, and the latter was used for cultivation; there were approximately one hundred and thirty units in total.

One hundred were the spoils of the interception on the perimeter, and the remaining thirty were found within the academy.

At his current level.

You can use about eight units in about a month.

That is, a little over a year.

But what about a year later?

By then he was stronger, perhaps even his superhuman physique had been replenished, and he needed far more than eight units.

He now has a total of six battle merits, one more for senior specialists and two more for mid-stage second ring.

Including the two most basic ones.

There are ten in total.

If he were to absorb it with all his might, he could absorb it all and achieve the maximum rate of progress.

"So it's not enough."

Ian took a deep breath.

War could break out at any time, and he couldn't afford to slow down in order to save resources.

"Therefore, I need to improve as much as possible, such as becoming an intermediate alchemist, a project leader, and increasing the importance I place on projects."

Ian calmed down.

Several days later.

Ian exchanged the core blueprints for the current meditation room from the academy, and the blueprints were large enough to cover several hundred square meters of floor space.

He quickly began to try it.

"The first-ring meditation room is fine, but the core components are basically creations of the second-ring intermediate level or above, and my alchemy skills are not good enough."

Ian put down what he was holding.

It's not that his skill level is insufficient, but rather that there are many new elements in the intermediate level of the second ring and above.

For example, in terms of spirituality, the initial stage of the second ring only awakens spirituality, but the intermediate and higher stages of the second ring require a spiritual core.

Other aspects, such as loop construction and nodes, have seen minor but significant improvements.

"So I first need to raise my skill level to the intermediate level of the second ring road."

Ian breathed slowly.

To advance to the intermediate level of the second ring, aside from anything else, he needs new knowledge, especially the four alchemical inheritance spells.

With his skill level, he could have started learning long ago.

It's just that it's in the initial stage and hasn't yet reached the master level.

"It will be soon."

Ian pondered.

Once he becomes Darwin's assistant, his alchemy skills will inevitably improve at a new pace.

Once this wave of improvements occurs...

The talent value should be able to reach 30,000.

"And the rhythm of fire."

Ian looked at the panel; at this moment, the skill was only a little over 100 points away from master level.

Moreover, it has the help of fragments.

The improvement process is also quite fast.

"If my previous deductions had been correct, I might have already reached the summit."

7

I considered this possibility.

Ian got excited.

That was Metatron's dream.

"But let me calm down first, and also get thoroughly familiar with the changes in the rhythm of fire this time."

C

Ian decided.

Crimson Eye's progress on this trip has been so rapid that he hasn't even had time to fully familiarize himself with it.

While you're at it, you can also familiarize yourself with the Alchemy Department.

the next day.

Ian submitted an application for a new succession to the department.

Having gained Darwin's approval, his application was naturally approved.

One day later.

"This is a new lineage, and with your intermediate level in the second ring and your alchemy foundation, you are certainly capable of learning it."

In the laboratory, Darwin handed four knowledge transfer crystals to Ian.

"Thank you, Minister."

Ian took over the mantle.

"For the next three days, you will follow me in alchemy and serve as my assistant," Darwin said slowly, donning his alchemical robes.

"Yes, sir."

Ian took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

Darwin approached the alchemy table and said, "Since this is your first time acting as my assistant, you'll only be refining a batch of core components for a mid-level second-circle magic cannon to practice your skills."

Magic cannon?

Practice?

Ian's lips twitched; even in the intermediate level of the second ring, this was considered top-tier.

Alchemy began quickly.

It must be said that Darwin's level is far beyond what Ian can compare to; he can only truly serve as an assistant.

But just one day later.

Ian gasped when he saw that all his alchemy skills on the panel had increased by nearly ten proficiency levels.

This is much faster than him improving on his own.

If this pace continues, and I follow Darwin as his assistant a total of ten times, it will probably take about six months for all my skills to reach the master level.

Ian pursed his lips.

She became even more dedicated to her assistant position.

"Let's take a break, and then we'll start the second round."

Darwin looked at Ian with satisfaction.

The foundation is better than he imagined. "Good minister."

Ian nodded.

We came to one side.

He wasn't tired, so he simply took out the inheritance, the part of the forging hand, which was different from the second-level beginner level.

Although they have the same name.

But the core has changed significantly.

The Forging Grip uses orange flames to smelt materials of a single attribute, adjusting the temperature to suit different materials, but it is different when dealing with high-level composite materials.

In the intermediate stage of the second ring, "layered perception and layer-by-layer peeling" are added. The flame is no longer just a heating tool, but a sophisticated perception and peeling system.

Of course, the difficulty also increases dramatically.

But it's alright for him, who is already a master.

So I started trying it out.

far away.

Darwin watched Ian's orange flames burn and a smile crept onto his face.

Have you mastered the second layer of the Forging Grip?

This is no simple matter.

He was once hailed as a genius, but even after receiving the inheritance, it took him a full month to master it.

Perhaps I can offer some guidance.

He walked toward Ian, but his movements became slower and slower, and his eyes gradually changed.

It was only because the color of the flames gradually changed that their aura also gradually changed.

soon.

The color gradually deepens from the outside in; the outermost layer is orange-red, but the core becomes deep red.

"Forged Grip, Level Two?"

Darwin's breath hitched.

His eyes gradually widened.
