Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 171: Usage Feedback on Memory Ointment

Inside the office, Locke was at his workstation, designing the blueprint for the final grafting modification of the Jade Iris Lichen within the differential magic mirror.
Andrew and Axi exchanged glances, both somewhat worried about Locke.
Over these two weeks, Locke had been staying indoors, researching magical plant curses every day, which they had both observed.
So both were rather concerned.
There had been cases before where first-class wizard apprentices got stuck in dead ends and ended up causing problems for themselves.
Axi sat at his workstation and offered comfort to Locke, "Locke, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. You're a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice, so it's perfectly normal that there are problems you can't solve..."
"Look at Andrew and me, we've already given up these past few days."
"Don't let that Kali Ackerman fellow get to you."
"They don't dare touch magical plant curses themselves. And the academy seems to already have the idea of sending Mary, the wizard seed from the breeding department, to work with us to solve the problem."
"Once they arrive, things will be much easier for us." Axi smiled, "At least our team, through our own efforts, has managed to ensure that those victims of magical plant curses can remain safe and sound within these two weeks, with their lives secure and minimal damage. This is already progress."
"We really have to thank that outsider apprentice Ruxin for doing experiments for us, allowing our team to accumulate considerable experience in this area."
"Speaking of which, we should also thank you, Locke, for the Minor Viridian Potion formula in your hands. That thing is really useful."
The Minor Viridian Potion itself was a brilliant attempt by Witch Sophia.
It simplified the brewing process of First Circle potions, allowing potion master assistants to enjoy some benefits of First Circle level potions without increasing the brewing difficulty.
Locke even suspected that this work had its prototype when Witch Sophia was still in the apprentice stage.
Andrew interjected, "Speaking of potions, Locke, your Memory Ointment has been selling particularly well recently."
Locke looked up and asked, "How so?"
Andrew said, "Do you know a shapeshifter named Gabby? After the Memory Ointment was sold at the Owl Cauldron Potion Shop, the next day, Gabby brought her friends and classmates to purchase Memory Ointment together."
"They've been using it for two weeks now."
"According to what they say, after using the Memory Ointment, their memory has improved significantly."
"This indirectly increased their speed of learning transformation magic, roughly by about 50%."
"At the same time, the Memory Ointment also retains its meditation acceleration effect for basic meditation methods. Its effects are quite broad and obvious. Even though it's priced slightly higher than Focus Ointment, it sells very well."
"Within these two weeks, several batches of second-class wizard apprentices have come to purchase it, and even first-class wizard apprentices have bought and used it." Andrew smiled, "Those first-class wizard apprentices have been asking me who created the Memory Ointment."
"From the usage feedback, all customers are very satisfied with your Memory Ointment."
"So, Locke, your talent in potion studies is unquestionable. It's just that your current accumulation is temporarily insufficient."
Andrew and Axi had been in obviously good spirits recently, clearly because of some kind of commendation from Lady Irina due to the Memory Ointment.
Andrew said, "Axi and I have been collecting usage data for your Memory Ointment recently, converting it into one or two research transformation data s, to see if we can produce several B-level articles."
"However, this kind of thing definitely requires your consent. Locke, do you want to participate together?"
Locke understood that the so-called research transformation data s were Axi and Andrew summarizing the problems that wizard apprentices encounter during actual use of various potions, as well as various feedback.
This type of article also had value.
Moreover, Axi and Andrew were both managers of potion shops, so they could directly contact customers who purchased various potions.
They would know which type of potion from different pharmaceutical rooms of the same category sold best, which potion had the greatest side effects and was most unreliable, which potion would have what side effects after long-term use, or develop drug toxicity accumulation.
When the two of them wrote these data into articles, they could be published in Lilith's Cottage public library, providing all first-class wizard apprentices with material to consult and reference.
Overall, this was a kind of summary work.
Locke expressed, "I won't participate. Everyone has their specialty. I have my own things to be busy with."
Although Axi and Andrew were using the Memory Ointment he had released to create research transformation type articles, this actually had nothing to do with him. Their mention to him was just politeness on their part.
After all, this was a summary of various data feedback from customers using potions, belonging to the periphery of potion studies.
Once these data summaries were completed, they could also more comprehensively show customers the effects of Memory Ointment, which would benefit future sales of Memory Ointment and even further in-depth research.
Therefore, Locke neither had the need to prevent it nor the intention to join in.
Rather than writing these peripheral articles, he might as well use this time to release several more potion works.
Locke also understood from this matter why academic cliques easily formed among wizards.
Mainly because a talented wizard could too easily bring more benefits to the friends and students around him.
In fact, why Manager Yuri and Zack had good relationships with him was probably because the several magical plants he sold at their place also allowed them to summarize usage data and produce many high-quality articles.
For another example, with the Minor Viridian Potion in Locke's hands, he could also use the results of using the Minor Viridian Potion to produce several articles that were at least B-level.
Locke said to Andrew and Axi, "This afternoon, I have important matters and need to leave the treatment center first. Can you two cover for me for a while?"
Andrew and Axi were both stunned for a moment, then Andrew smiled at Locke, "Of course, we're friends."
"It's always good for you to go out and clear your mind."
"Locke, you've advanced too quickly and probably haven't experienced much failure, so don't worry about these things. Axi and I are different, we've experienced far too many failures. After experiencing them so much, we've gotten used to it."
Axi also comforted Locke, "It doesn't matter if this year's Outstanding Therapist award has nothing to do with us. There are so many potion master assistants in the treatment center anyway, and only four people can get reward slots in the end."
"Everyone else is just there to make up the numbers."
Locke hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell them that he was planning to completely finish his fifth work this afternoon, and also attempt to use Jade Iris Lichen to brew Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion.
Solving magical plant curses from two directions, potion studies and breeding studies respectively.
It wouldn't be too late to talk about this kind of thing after he had actually accomplished it.
