Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 160: Exceptional Work

Evening.
Locke used the advanced growth gel, advanced nutritive soil, and advanced nutrient solution prepared at the examination site to complete the grafting cultivation work of Tiflo Root Vines.
He exhaled a breath of stale air. "Work completed."
The other four breeding assistants had also completed their works.
This round of examination was different from the second round. It wasn't the case that without corresponding knowledge, no work could be produced at all.
Tiflo Root Vine cultivation was something breeding assistants could complete.
The final examination was just testing the breeders' actual cultivation abilities from basic skills.
So, there were also five works, but the quality varied greatly, with huge differences.
The three formal wizards examined the five candidates' works, frowning before the other four candidates' works.
Especially before Martin's Tiflo Root work, senior breeder Jonas Cortez shook his head. "Too ridiculous. This quality of Tiflo Root Vine, if said to be a breeding assistant's work, the quality is indeed not bad."
"But it's far from reaching the average level that formal breeders should have. Martin, you still have much to learn."
"Just your use of Minor Grafting Healing Technique is very inadequate."
Martin's face turned pale. "Yes... yes... it's just that there wasn't enough time, otherwise I could have done better."
Jonas Cortez didn't speak, only showing dissatisfaction in his eyes. With his status, he naturally wouldn't remind this foolish student of his serious misconceptions.
Lady Morgana's sharp gaze swept over Martin as she spoke, "It's not a time problem. Your overall approach is flawed, and your discernment is insufficient to find the best two pots among two hundred pots of Tiflo Root Vines."
"At the same time, you didn't think to slightly adjust the spell model of Minor Grafting Healing Technique. These are the two points you most lack now. If you don't fix these two points, you'll have difficulty passing the breeder assessment within ten years."
Martin broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, his face turning pale. He looked at his work, and after thinking for a brief time, bowed to Lady Morgana and Wizard Jonas. "Thank you for your guidance, my lords."
"I indeed have many shortcomings."
Martin looked at Lady Morgana with particular gratitude. Lady Morgana was indeed a veteran First Circle wizard.
She was one of the most powerful academic factions in Lilith's Cottage.
With just a few simple words, she had pointed out his current problems. This was even more sharp-eyed than his own wizard mentor.
Lady Morgana didn't continue paying attention to him. Reminding him of his shortcomings was just her duty as chief examiner. As for whether this student listened or not, Lady Morgana didn't care at all.
After all, he wasn't her own student.
Lady Morgana walked to Locke's work, a flash of satisfaction appearing in her eyes. Her mouth curved slightly, "It's almost like seeing Sophia's work."
"I can't find any faults."
"The characteristics of your Tiflo Root Vine are very perfect, a high-grade variety that has been carefully cultivated. This work is sufficient to prove you possess the strength of a formal breeder, even not at the level of an ordinary formal breeder."
Lady Morgana rarely smiled as she nodded to Locke. "Sophia... has taught a good student."
Lady Morgana even thought in her heart, 'What's wrong with that Francis fellow? He didn't prioritize giving me such a promising wizard seedling, but let Sophia cultivate him first.'
'Could it be that he arranged it this way because I'm Sophia's teacher?'
It wasn't surprising that Lady Morgana was amazed. Locke's research into magical vines was too deep.
He currently had three new magical vine varieties in his hands: Super Mandrake Vines, Invisible Mandrake Vines, and Omen Mandrake Vines.
If he published articles on all of them, just A-level articles alone could produce at least three, and could also generate large quantities of B-level and C-level articles.
Therefore, Locke had found the two pots with the best characteristics among the two hundred pots of Tiflo Root Vines from the start.
Moreover, he had fine-tuned the spell model of Minor Grafting Healing before beginning the grafting cultivation.
This benefited from the solid foundation that Witch Sophia had built for him, as well as the proficiency and expertise in Minor Grafting Healing Technique he had developed over the past month while trying to create Jade Iris Lichen that could solve magical plant curse problems.
Again, breeding was a craft that required practice. Breeders without much practical experience couldn't possibly have high skill levels.
Hearing Lady Morgana say this, the other two formal wizards gathered around. After examination, they all nodded. "Looking purely at the level of formal breeders, this is indeed quite good."
Wizard Jonas shook his head slightly. "More than just quite good."
"He's not a senior breeder. He hasn't mastered Finite Element Analysis Cultivation Method, hasn't mastered related single mana pathway data, yet he can produce this level of magical vine. It's simply... outstanding."
Jonas Cortez shook his head, "This work is indeed average level in our view, because we can use Finite Element Analysis Cultivation Method for expensive targeted individual cultivation."
"But he's not a formal wizard, not a senior breeder, yet can achieve this level using ordinary formal breeder techniques. It can only be said that this student has very deep research into magical vines."
"Among all apprentices in Lilith's Cottage, he probably ranks among the exceptional."
Wizard Jonas Cortez looked at Lady Morgana with puzzled eyes. "Lady Morgana, do students from your lineage all have such good foundations?"
Lady Morgana had a smile at the corners of her mouth as she shook her head slightly. "Jonas, how is that possible."
"It's just that people are different. Both Sophia and this child are absolute geniuses in the breeding field."
Another formal wizard suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh right, a few days ago one of my students mentioned to me that Lijin Secret Language has recently been selling a magical vine called Super Mandrake Vine, said to have the potential to revolutionize Tiflo Root Vines."
"That should be this student's work."
He looked at Locke. "Is that right?"
Locke bowed to him. "My lord, that is indeed the case. Super Mandrake Vine is my work."
Even Lady Morgana looked at Locke with surprise and praised, "That's really good."
"No wonder you performed so outstandingly in the third round of examination. Your research in the magical vine field is already very deep. This kind of question was just child's play for you."
Lady Morgana was somewhat dissatisfied, frowning. "Then why didn't Sophia have you publish more articles in the magical vine field? Oh right, she's been busy with the teaching position assessment at Star Domain Sea recently. She's being too inattentive to her students."
"If it were me, I would have had you publish at least three A-level articles already."
The other candidates also looked at Locke with surprise.
However, they didn't feel there was anything unfair about it. His magical plant works were already selling well at Lijin Secret Language.
After all, come on, he was obviously a future breeding master. This was his talent, and they had nothing to question.
Being able to take the examination with a future breeding master was already their luck.
Even Martin, who was also a first-class wizard apprentice from Lilith's Cottage, now looked at Locke with different eyes.
Those were the worshipful eyes of an ordinary person looking at a genius.
