Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 204: Magical Plant Endorsement Squad

The waiter came over, and Zack immediately ordered three servings of Sunshine Sauce Lettuce Salad as appetizers, three main courses of Tri-Color Salt Grain Beef Steak, and Firefly Pudding for dessert with practiced ease.
After the waiter left, Locke briefly explained to Captain Jack, "Well, it might be because I've been in contact with many black wizard apprentices recently. I recently caught a first-class wizard apprentice vampire, and I'm currently using him for experiments."
Of course, this could also be because he had learned archaeological spells, causing the negative energy magical power on his body to be quite concentrated. This depended on whether his old friend Tyne's magic eye design detected black wizards based on negative energy particle concentration or based on the concentration of death aura (the aura remaining on the body after killing people).
However, more likely, it was both.
After hearing Locke's explanation, Captain Jack's goodwill toward Locke in his right eye increased another level. He smiled and said, "I see, I guessed it was something like that."
"You caught a first-class wizard apprentice from the Blood Curse Court. Worthy of being a genius breeder, truly impressive. We Storm Wizards have difficulty capturing enemies. My enemies are either turned into charcoal by me or turned into countless slices by my wind elemental magic."
Captain Jack explained, "The vampire's immortality curse is indeed powerful, but as long as you chop off their head, it's no problem."
"So you must conduct saturated attacks on vampires from the beginning."
"Many white wizards in our academy suffer losses precisely because they have too little combat experience with undead creatures. They always think they've killed the opponent and stop to conserve mana. Little do they know that those disgusting undead creatures must be completely smashed to pieces before their revolting aura can permanently disappear from this world."
Locke nodded slightly at Captain Jack, "Indeed, I also discovered this when fighting vampires."
"In this regard, your Storm Wizard spells are more convenient."
Captain Jack and Locke smiled at each other. Captain Jack said, "Locke, it seems we two have quite common topics to discuss."
"You're different from those breeders who only know how to do research. Although I respect those people too, I really can't chat with them. Every time I communicate with them, they spend all day discussing how to publish more articles."
Captain Jack spread his hands, "Although over the past period, the wizards in our battle department have increasingly higher requirements for the quantity and quality of articles, what determines whether we can be promoted or obtain more magical resources is still the number of enemies killed."
"Only during peacetime are published articles relatively important to us combat wizards."
Locke waved his hand slightly, "Captain Jack, you can't say that. You combat wizards still have many articles you can write. You can completely leverage your advantages, utilize the resources in your hands, and publish quite a few high-quality articles that would also provide very important improvements to your combat abilities."
Captain Jack's right eye showed a puzzled expression, "We combat wizards actually have advantages in publishing articles?"
"How so?"
Zack had initially been somewhat worried about the discussion between the two, trying to interject several times, but seeing that Locke and Captain Jack were chatting well, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and poured himself a cup of witch watermelon juice.
Locke then focused on explaining to Captain Jack at the dining table about the experiments he conducted after catching that vampire apprentice, the articles he published on forms of damage to vampires, and pointed out that battle department wizards would find it much easier to write such articles.
Because battle department wizards had easier access to the academy's enemies and had more actual combat experience against enemies.
After hearing this, Captain Jack nodded repeatedly, "Not bad. In this way, we battle department wizards indeed have our own unique advantages when publishing articles."
"Especially during wizard wars, we can publish even more articles. Locke, my friend, your thinking is indeed worth my reference."
Captain Jack looked at Zack and smiled, "Zack, I really like the personality of the breeder you introduced me to this time."
"I know your purpose. Anyway, this isn't the first time for such matters. Show me the materials for the magical plant you want me to purchase. If it's suitable, I can buy it."
Zack quickly said, "No, no, I'm really just treating you to dinner this time, and introducing you to a friend I think is good."
Captain Jack raised an eyebrow, "Zack, your only flaw is being too indirect."
Captain Jack looked at Locke and smiled, "Breeder Locke, I really like your personality, and I also really like your Crystal Palm Fire Lotus work."
"The works of you breeders determine the fate of us frontline wizards. I'm certainly willing to lend a hand for your excellent works."
"Alright, just show me."
Zack immediately took out a document and a prepared order contract from his astral ring.
Captain Jack looked at the blank contract Zack handed over along with the materials, quite speechless, "You said you were just treating me to dinner, but you even prepared the contract. Forget it, if you were just treating me to dinner, I wouldn't have that kind of free time anyway."
Zack smiled.
Captain Jack opened the materials and began reading seriously. Although he wasn't a breeder or plant-type wizard, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs run.
He still knew some knowledge related to magical plants, at least he could understand the article Locke wrote about defensive magical plants' restraint against curse magic.
After reading this article, Captain Jack's eyes immediately flashed with intense interest.
He then looked at other materials handed over with the document, including the article Locke wrote about Perseus Eye's specific damage mechanism against vampires, and the practical combat footage Locke recorded with the True Sight Orb, which Zack had also transcribed onto a memory crystal and handed to Captain Jack to read.
Captain Jack exclaimed, "Breeder Locke, your research on vampires is very profound. And the effect of your defensive magical plant is very astonishing..."
Captain Jack looked at Locke and Zack, "This level of defensive magical plant still needs our squad's endorsement? Shouldn't it be the champion!"
Captain Jack said somewhat indignantly, "I remember Green Sprout Workshop's work year after year is that old Gear Iron Brambles. One magical plant work is so outdated, year after year it's just those same things."
"It's been over 150 years! That Green Sprout Workshop really never wants to make new things, new projects."
"Every time Green Sprout Workshop participates in any competition, they take out this thing, and every time they can win the championship." Captain Jack said, "But I know that Perseus Eye Lichen is a more excellent magical plant than Gear Iron Brambles."
"Any frontline wizard who sees this thing would reach this conclusion."
Locke nodded slightly, "Thank you."
Zack sighed, "But the judges of the custom magical plant competition aren't you frontline first-class wizard apprentices who are in combat."
"So we need to find your squad for endorsement."
"Perseus Eye Lichen currently lacks past performance in wars the most."
Captain Jack pondered for a moment, then said somewhat indignantly, "I don't understand what those administrative higher-ups are thinking. Such an excellent magical plant work isn't provided to our frontline, and they keep ordering that outdated Gear Iron Brambles every day."
"If Gear Iron Brambles were really that useful, would so many people on our frontline still die!"
Locke and Senior Zack exchanged glances. It seemed this time was secure.
Of course, Locke knew why Captain Jack looked down on Gear Iron Brambles so much. It wasn't that Gear Iron Brambles was truly not excellent.
Rather, this thing was Lilith's Cottage's standard defensive magical plant after all, and had long been studied many times by enemies, with various countermeasures already developed.
So its performance naturally wouldn't be very good.
Green Sprout Workshop participated in various competitions to obtain magical resources, so naturally they didn't want to leave their comfort zone.
Green Sprout Workshop naturally wouldn't want to take new projects to risk participating in competitions.
For them, wouldn't it be better to steadily and safely win competition champion resources?
Zack pointed to the contract, "Then Captain Jack, you should first purchase Perseus Eye. How many do you want to purchase?"
Captain Jack pondered for a moment, "Originally I came this time just wanting to buy one or two casually for use, considering your face, but such a good thing, I really can't simply let it pass."
Captain Jack looked at Locke, "Let's first purchase 10 plants."
"It's a pity it doesn't seem to have developed supporting spells, and can only be used with those old spells. Breeder Locke, when will you find plant-type wizards to develop supporting spells for this magical plant?"
"Of course, the current level is quite sufficient."
Zack also looked at Locke curiously, "Right, Locke, this is also a very important matter that could add many points to Perseus Eye Lichen."
