Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 134: Virdantia University's Mistake

Locke thought for a moment, then declined. "No, forget it."
"I'm not good at spell model development."
Locke did think about it quickly, but human energy is limited.
He was thinking about the fourth magical plant, and his personal pharmaceutical laboratory was also accelerating to produce results. At this juncture, he really didn't have the mind to manage developing a spell system for Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.
Compared to developing new varieties of magical plants and potions, this kind of thing wasn't as profitable.
As long as he developed new magical plants and potions, he could truly sell them however he wanted.
But cantrip model development work took a long time, was very difficult, and basically only paired with the academy's combat departments. The number of users and learners was limited. Although it would also be profitable, compared to the two things he was currently doing, the money-making efficiency was too slow.
With that time, he might as well develop a few more powerful magical plants.
More importantly, the synthesis cube really wasn't suitable for spell synthesis. He had tried before, and the synthesis cube couldn't synthesize informational things.
That meant spell development could only rely on his own thinking. Although Locke was confident that with his current foundation, he might be able to develop some powerful supporting spells, the efficiency would be too low.
It was meaningless.
According to Witch Sophia, there was no need to be too obsessed with how much higher or lower your spell model power was during the apprentice stage.
As long as you could advance quickly, that was enough.
Hearing Locke's refusal, Zack didn't show any surprise. After all, in his view, everyone indeed had things they were good at and not good at.
So in wizard society, there was meaning to division of labor.
Zack nodded, "Alright, I was just asking for your opinion."
"Speaking of which, you were actually mentioned prominently at a potion exchange meeting recently."
Locke looked puzzled.
He had no contact with any potion exchange meeting at all. How could that meeting be connected to him?
Zack explained, "Did you forget? You were originally a wizard seed cultivated by Virdantia University. You were supposed to go to Virdantia University."
"But later, you came to our Lilith's Cottage, while that Ruxin went to Virdantia University."
Locke quickly guessed what happened. "Everyone knows about these things now?"
Zack said, "Not really, only those who pay attention to the exchange meeting hosted by Teacher Halen Vera know. At this potion exchange meeting, potion masters from Virdantia University openly mocked our academy's potion studies for falling into decline. Recently, Virdantia University's potion studies have indeed gradually created some gap with our academy."
"As a counterattack, Teacher Halen Vera mocked them for being blind back then, mistaking fish eyes for pearls. They originally used Ruxin to exchange for you, and now you're already a first-class wizard apprentice and potion master assistant, while Ruxin is only a second-class wizard apprentice."
"Moreover, at the treatment center, it was your plan that cured her."
Zack smiled, "Those people from Virdantia University initially didn't believe it. After Teacher Halen Vera gave them evidence, they were all speechless."
"What was originally supposed to be a war of words at the exchange meeting ended up with those Virdantia University potion masters being hard-controlled on the scene for over ten minutes because of your matter."
"So Teacher Halen's students all heard about you to some extent this time."
Zack seemed to have some schadenfreude. "Locke, your matter alone was used by Teacher Halen to hard-control three Virdantia University potion masters on the opposing side."
"This achievement was too fierce. So everyone spread the word."
Locke held his forehead slightly. He had originally wanted to settle accounts with them later.
But unexpectedly, Virdantia University had already been severely mocked by Lilith's Cottage wizards at the potion studies exchange meeting because of this matter.
Come to think of it, everyone knew about this kind of thing, especially during verbal battles when it was easiest to be publicly criticized.
He just didn't know whether this matter was good or bad for him.
Forget it, this kind of thing was just an anecdote and should quickly become something no one cared about.
The first-class wizard apprentices of Lilith's Cottage were all very busy, either busy with work, research, or paying debts. Everyone's remaining bit of gossip interest would quickly be attracted to other things.
Zack consoled Locke, "At least after this, your image in Teacher Halen Vera's heart is good. You know my mentor is Halen Vera, and Teacher Halen liked to mention your matter in front of students for several days afterward."
"So he has a very good impression of you now."
He changed the topic, "By the way, remember to pay attention to your junior students recently."
Locke looked at him puzzledly. "What do you mean?"
Zack cut the steak with his knife and fork, "Recently, many second-class and third-class wizard apprentices from Lilith's Cottage have been attacked when going out."
"It should be the work of Blood Curse Court people."
"Teacher Halen Vera told us a few days ago to pay special attention to our own junior students in the laboratory, warning them not to go out recently."
"I remember you also have several junior students, right?"
Zack stood up, "You should warn them a bit. Especially those involved in work. If some junior students suffer casualties, finding replacements for them quickly would be quite troublesome."
"The people being attacked have one characteristic, they all have some special skills."
"The academy higher-ups are quickly investigating this undercover network hidden within the academy's port city." Zack said, "Besides that, many undead creatures have recently appeared outside the academy."
"The academy has issued many tasks to eliminate undead creatures for those second-class and third-class wizard apprentices, so many wizard apprentices go out, giving those undercover agents opportunities to attack them collectively."
Locke nodded to Zack. "Thank you for the reminder."
"I understand. You're still well-informed."
He thought of Pierre and Lorne, as well as the three wizard seeds that Witch Sophia had him mentor. These five people were all third-class wizard apprentices now.
"Next time I go to the pharmacy, I need to remind them. Especially Pierre. In two more months, the on my Memory Ointment will come from him. If he gets attacked, it would be very troublesome."
Zack bid farewell to Locke, "I have Teacher Halen's network, so I know various news much faster than you."
"But it's fine, we're friends. I'll remind you."
