Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 162: Invitations from Various Workshops

Lilith’s Cottage, evening.
The moment Locke walked out of the examination hall, he immediately saw that there were already many people waiting outside the examination hall. Just like with the potion master assistant exam, there were already many job offers waiting outside the examination hall.
These people quickly locked onto Locke, the only person who had passed the breeder examination this time.
A group of people rushed to Locke's front, including second-class wizard apprentice assistants, and even first-class wizard apprentices who had come personally.
"Lord Augustine, I am an assistant from the Freck Brothers Workshop. I came this time to invite you to consider work at the Freck Brothers Workshop. Our Freck Workshop recently received an order from the academy and is customizing a batch of medium to high-level Rain Purifying Vine magical plants. We need excellent breeders like you to join... We can provide you with a high monthly subsidy of one thousand two hundred magic stones..."
"Lord Augustine, our workshop also needs you to join. Currently we have several nearby small wizard organizations commissioning us to cultivate improved variety magical plants for specific purposes... Although we only provide nine hundred magic stones monthly, our workshop has multiple medium-sized public laboratories that we can provide for your free use!"
"Junior Locke, I am breeder Lancaster. I represent the Green Sprout Workshop and would like to invite you."
A first-class wizard apprentice in the crowd suddenly spoke with a confident smile. As soon as these words were spoken, not only Locke, but even the various breeder workshops around him who wanted to recruit people looked at him in surprise.
Green Sprout Workshop was one of the largest breeder workshops within Lilith’s Cottage, with at least five hundred years of heritage.
It wasn't easy to enter this workshop, as every position was highly contested.
It was said that breeders who emerged from there had a high probability of becoming wizard seeds and senior breeders.
Currently, Lilith’s Cottage's wizard seed in the breeding direction, Mary, was the head of Green Sprout Workshop.
People in the crowd whispered quietly.
"That Green Sprout Workshop that claims to cultivate future top breeders for the academy, why did they also come to recruit at the breeder examination site? They're actually short on people recently."
"I heard that Green Sprout Workshop recently received many special magical plant orders from the academy's combat departments. Those are all contracts. Maybe they're too busy recently, so they want to recruit a newly certified official breeder and train them from scratch."
"Green Sprout Workshop really made a fortune from the war recently. The magical plant cultivation orders they have now are three to four times what they had during peacetime. Workshops like us small breeder workshops can only do some magical plant cultivation for surrounding small wizard organizations, we don't have as many projects as they do. They wouldn't even look at these tiny projects we have."
Just like potion master assistants who had to choose their research direction, official breeders had also passed the general education stage and entered the stage where they needed to choose their preferred niche field for focused research.
Therefore, those more experienced breeders had the advantage of rich experience, but their disadvantage was that their experience might not necessarily relate to the workshop’s current main projects.
For this reason, large breeder workshops within the academy all had the habit of cultivating some breeders from scratch themselves.
Breeder Lancaster, with a confident smile, spoke to Locke, "Junior Locke, I've looked at your resume."
"Although your resume doesn't have too many outstanding experiences, you have three excellent points. First, your advancement speed is exceptionally fast. Second, you also passed the potion master assistant examination."
"Finally, your ranking in the breeder competition preliminary was very high. This point indeed attracted us, and even... caught the attention of Senior Mary."
Breeder Lancaster said, "Our Green Sprout Workshop is willing to pay you fifteen hundred magic stones per month."
"At the same time, Green Sprout Workshop's system is very mature. As long as your subsequent performance is excellent, we have a reasonable promotion system. You can advance from a workshop employee to an ordinary partner like me, enjoying a portion of our workshop’s annual profit sharing, no longer just having a salary."
Lancaster continued eloquently, "As long as you have enough high-quality published articles and create new projects for the workshop, you can advance to senior partner in the future."
"Become a member of our workshop’s decision-making layer, officially becoming a first-class wizard apprentice who owns a workshop, greatly improving your social status."
"Of course, after joining the workshop, your botanical garden must also follow the workshop’s arrangements, growing corresponding magical plants and conducting corresponding magical plant research according to our Green Sprout Workshop's guidance."
Clearly this was also what Lancaster himself wanted, as his eyes even lit up slightly when he mentioned this.
Lancaster added, "Green Sprout Workshop's current administrative partner is Senior Mary. She can even spare some time each month to design for you the types of magical plants you should grow in your botanical garden in the future, and the direction of your future magical plant research..."
"I really think highly of you. Will you join, Junior Locke?"
Locke slightly frowned. Joining these workshops was essentially going to work for them.
This was the same as going to a treatment center to be a healer.
As for the subsequent so-called promotions to partner, senior partner, or even administrative partner, those were completely the workshop institution's schemes.
The more advanced the workshop, the better the benefits, but also the greater the restrictions on breeders. Especially Green Sprout Workshop actually wanted to intervene even in the breeder's magical plant research direction.
This point was quite rare.
Because some wizard mentors also liked to intervene in their students' magical plant research directions, like Lady Morgana. Green Sprout Workshop undoubtedly had some conflicts with these wizard mentors.
This also proved the confidence of Green Sprout Workshop as an established workshop within the academy, almost becoming a permanent institution within the academy.
Of course, students of those major academic factions probably wouldn't lower themselves to join these workshops.
Locke also had no intention of joining these workshops.
Ordinary wizards who obtained breeder certificates might do so to conveniently enter better workshops, where they could earn money, obtain experimental resources, and participate in first-class wizard apprentice level projects.
These were things they might not be able to obtain on their own but he was different. He had already created several magical plant projects himself, especially the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.
He completely didn't need to join any workshop and waste his time.
Moreover, he had an impression of Mary. Her ranking in the White Wizard Association preliminary competition seemed to be several places below his.
Locke shook his head at the confident Lancaster, "No, I have no intention of joining any workshop."
"Lancaster."
Locke didn't use the senior title, for a simple reason. He could sense the other party's mana was only around three hundred, even weaker than Andrew and Axi.
Although he was a newly advanced first-class wizard apprentice, his mana was already four hundred fifty-five. Therefore, hearing this person constantly calling him junior made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
