This is great, it can save a lot of time.
My Level 1 Rule Rune is ready, and once my “dissertation” is approved, I can officially start using my “academic points”.
After checking that the Armor Orchid Seed was intact, Link set the glass screen to a private mode that was only visible from the outside.
With a single thought, he pulled out the “Seed” from his Sea of Consciousness and began to observe it intently.
Having not paid attention for a few days, some profound changes had occurred inside the “Seed”.
In the middle of the flat “Continent,” a grand and imposing group of palaces sprung up.
Aside from being particularly tall and gigantic, as if they were built for Giants, there seems to be no issues with the palaces.
The most distinctive feature is the scattering of gardens throughout the buildings.
Franda was humming a tune as she moved to and fro between the gardens like a flower fairy, diligently caring for the flowers.
This was the limit of what she could do without harming the “Seed’s” core essence.
She really was hoping that the master would soon invest resources to satisfy the hungry core essence.
“Ah, the master?”
Feeling a familiar gaze, Franda immediately stopped what she was doing and looked towards the sky.
Sure enough, the master’s handsome face appeared in the sky.
“Pleased to meet you, master. How do you do?”
Franda curtsies gracefully.
“Fine. Franda, how are you?”
Out of respect for the God Slayer’s character and for living beings with intelligence, Link did not ignore Franda’s greeting and responded timely. “Master, good! Franda is very good!”
A bright smile spread across Franda’s innocent face.
Receiving Master’s greeting made her very happy.
This meant that the master was pleased with her.
This means the master would let her continue to live.
This convinced her that her father’s sacrifice was not meaningless. “Franda, list the resources you need in an order of value, from low to high.
Exclude the ones that are too expensive for now,” Link began to discuss serious matters.
As soon as he had a slightly more significant budget, he planned on starting to cultivate the “Seed”.
There’s no point in holding onto Magic Stones that you can’t eat.
It’s better to use them immediately.
“Yes, Master!”
Franda immediately agreed sweetly and calling forth the knowledge the master shared with her, she produced a long list in an instant.
Using the special connection between the “Seed” and the master, Franda sent over the list she made.
“Master, is there anything else you need?”
After sending the list, Franda asked this with anticipation written subtly on her face.
Link glanced at the grand palaces and various vibrant gardens and cracked a small smile:
No further instructions. You’ve been doing really well recently. I really like the palaces and gardens you’ve made.”
“Thank you for your praise, Master.”
The smile on Franda’s face grew brighter.
“Hmm.”
Link thought for a moment, and then spoke: “Build a dwelling for yourself.
Build it any way you like, don’t hold back.”
“Okay, Master, Franda understands.”
Franda answered sweetly.
With no other matters to attend to, Link shifted his gaze away and returned the Seed” to his Sea of Consciousness.
Based on his research and knowledge gathered from various references, Link had a good guess as to how the connection between him and the “Seed” was established.
Of course, this is based on the theory of the Wizard World.
If he were to explain it using the scientific theories from his previous life, only quantum entanglement in quantum mechanics would have a vague relevance.
Any “changes” made by Link here would inevitably cause corresponding changes within the ” Seed “.
Putting aside the theories that brought him headaches, Link focused his attention on the list of resources.
With just one glance, Link started regretting to have a look at it.
Damn, no wonder it’s such a resource glutton.
Just the total cost of resources for the first stage of cultivation alone reached a whopping 20,000 standard First-Level Magic Stones.
In order for Link to earn this much Magic Stones, he would need to launch at least 10 products as popular as the Glasswort Series.
The pressure was mounting!
“The road to go is long and arduous,” he sighed, looking at the 200 Magic
Stones he had on hand.
He then set up his defenses and left the Armor Orchid research area to enter the living/working area of the lab.
Jasmine had already completed the group register and initially assigned work to each group. She told the Brotherhood Group and the Social Phobia Group to start by analyzing the features and characteristics of common toiletries on the market, especially female toiletries, to gradually kick off their research and development work.
Link was very pleased with this and had no further comments.
“By the way, Link,”
After updating him on the work progress, Jasmine remembered something and said, “All 7 ‘papers’ have been published, and the ‘academic points’ have also been distributed. I checked, and you, being the primary investigator and corresponding author for all seven papers, have earned 22 ‘academic points’.
It’s a bit low, don’t you think? Do you know why?”
Link smiled when he heard this: “That’s not low. I think the Institute is quite generous to give us so many ‘academic points’.”
Why did he say this?
The Institute chose the fragmented world as the venue for the first-year competition, so naturally, their research on that world was the most thorough and detailed.
Link’s research topics and their “papers” were considered as useless heritage to the Institute and they did not appreciate them.
A typical act of taking advantage of the Institute.
But the Institute could not stifle the enthusiasm for research of their apprentices, especially the first-year apprentices.
The Institute could only reluctantly let people like Link take advantage of them.
“Okay, as long as you’re aware.”
