Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 250: 20 B-Grade, 10 A-Grade

In the public library, dwarf scholar Orr received several articles Locke handed him, then smiled and said, "Potion Master Locke, during this period, you've already accumulated a total of 20 B-grade articles and 6 A-grade articles published."
"This speed is truly remarkable."
"Although your B-grade article count hasn't been published in great quantities yet, your A-grade article count, among first-class wizard apprentices, is already considered quite substantial."
Within three months, Locke had again used the treatment data from Bear Spirit Jade Bile Detoxification Potion at Healing Hand Treatment Center to publish 7 B-grade articles.
He also used combat data from Perseus Eye Lichen to write two A-grade articles, as well as the application of Bear Spirit Jade Bile Detoxification Potion in actual combat to write two A-grade articles.
That is, during these three months, relying on these two projects, he wrote 7 B-grade articles and 4 A-grade articles.
Not only that, even Anglon and Axi, because of this, each wrote three B-grade articles respectively.
Locke discovered that as long as he had high-quality data, it would be very easy to publish high-grade articles.
For example, in the operation three months ago, he obtained firsthand combat data, thus consecutively publishing 4 A-grade articles scoring over 80 points.
If Locke continued drilling down on these two projects, he could probably write several more B-grade articles. However, he had already set his sights on other projects.
Dwarf scholar Orr, with a curious gaze, scanned through the articles Locke handed him. Immediately, his expression became serious. He looked at Locke and said, "Potion Master Locke, the quality of the articles you're publishing this time is very high."
"Everyone has the possibility of being rated A-grade."
"This one is about methods to weaken Beholder Potion's side effects. Several methods mentioned within already have great practical implementation possibility. This one is your discourse on the special observational perspective of beholders, these abyssal creatures. Very interesting, as if you yourself were once a beholder."
"And this one, the possibility of mass production of Large Green Owl Banana. Although it doesn't mention specific mass production methods, all these ideas of yours are very interesting. Vaguely, it's as if you indeed have concrete ideas for mass-producing this rare magical plant."
"The last one is a comprehensive review of magical plant [Animal Mimicry] breeding." Dwarf scholar Orr pondered for a moment. He keenly perceived that Locke must have at least two high-value projects with very high completion rates, otherwise it would be impossible to produce four articles of such high quality.
Dwarf scholar Orr thought, 'If these four are really rated A-grade, then Locke will have published a total of 10 A-grade articles.'
'This is truly strange. He hasn't published a single C-grade or D-grade article. B-grade articles aren't many either, but his A-grade article count is about to surpass his B-grade article count.'
Dwarf scholar Orr thought, 'Perhaps this is genius.'
'If these four articles of his can truly be further realized, it's not just completing two quality projects. Subsequently, they can inspire a series of other projects.'
In any case, for him, having more high-quality articles to read only had benefits.
Locke smiled. "Just accumulated progress."
These four articles were all byproduct articles produced from his research over the past three months on Beholder Lord Potion and the possibility of mass-producing Large Green Owl Banana.
The growing conditions for Large Green Owl Banana were extremely harsh, requiring relatively high magical tides, but these were secondary.
The reason Large Green Owl Banana, or rather Large Green Leaf Banana, was rare, besides having many diseases and disasters, was that this magical plant feared a magical fungus [Banana Fruit Stem Enlarging Fungus].
Once this fungus infected Large Green Leaf Banana, it would cause the Large Green Leaf Banana to stop growing branches and leaves. Its terminal end would grow fruit and transport all nutrients into the fruit.
Forming a special Large Green Leaf Banana fruit.
Large Green Leaf Banana was the core material for preparing banana insect repellent potion, which could be used to repel insect swarms. So that magical fungus [Banana Fruit Stem Enlarging Fungus] couldn't be said to be useless. It was just that this magical fungus, which was everywhere in natural environments, made it extremely easy for Large Green Leaf Banana to be unable to grow normally and caused their systemic infection and extinction.
To cultivate a qualified Large Green Leaf Banana required continuously consuming certain special precious resources. It required years of careful care by breeders. Mass production was simply impossible.
But Locke, relying on the Synthesis Cube and his accumulated knowledge in breeding studies, continuously synthesized, searching for rootstock-type magical plants suitable for grafting Large Green Leaf Banana. He was attempting to use this method to find a way to indirectly mass-produce Large Green Leaf Banana.
Finding rootstock-type magical plants, using grafting cultivation methods to graft rare magical plants onto rootstock-type magical plants with developed root systems and simple development for symbiosis, this was the direction Locke thought of for mass-producing rare magical plants.
But achieving this was extremely difficult. Often, for a breeder to find such a magical plant might take over ten years, and then another ten years to optimize the discovered magical plant. Generally speaking, it couldn't be used immediately upon discovery.
But Locke, relying on the Synthesis Cube, continuously synthesized those already documented magical plants that could serve as rootstock. He cultivated seedlings from some fruits produced by the Large Green Owl Banana in his possession and transplanted them onto those rootstock-type magical plants he synthesized. Using this method to rapidly find suitable rootstock-type magical plants, his efficiency exceeded ordinary breeders by who knows how many times.
Locke said to dwarf scholar Orr, "Same as before, I want to select some high-quality articles related to rootstock-type magical plants. At least A-grade. You don't need to recommend anything below A-grade to me, Mr. Orr."
Dwarf scholar Orr smiled. "Potion Master Locke, your requirements for article grades are getting higher and higher. These past few months you've been checking this type of information, so a few days ago, I already helped you find some suitable articles in advance. Take a look. There are also articles on abyssal potions here. I know you're also paying attention to this."
Locke thanked him, "Thank you, Orr."
Dwarf scholar Orr said, "No need to thank me. I'm also doing this to read more high-quality articles you write. Your articles, for general scholars, are the most wonderful music."
Locke selected 5 articles from the list Orr gave him. All 5 articles were related to rootstock-type magical plants and common rootstock-type magical plants for banana-type magical plants.
It was just that after paying the magic stones for these five articles, he completely had no savings left.
'Severely short on money again, but it doesn't matter. This time is different from before.' Locke sighed slightly in his heart. 'Several projects in my possession should all be at the day when payments are due.'
'Soon, I won't lack magic stones. Moreover, these are necessary expenditures. After reading these last five articles, I should be able to synthesize suitable rootstock-type magical plants. Once I'm familiar with this operation, I can even use the Synthesis Cube to begin mass-producing other rare magical plants.'
'Just mass-producing rare magical plants and the Jade Iris Lichen series alone is enough to make me earn huge profits. Moreover, my Bear Spirit Jade Bile Detoxification Potion has already passed phase three trials and obtained a production license. Currently, it can officially begin mass production.'
Locke said to Orr, "These five will do."
"By the way, Scholar Orr, how many contribution points do I currently have?"
Scholar Orr smiled and said, "1200. Truly a substantial amount of contribution points, enough to prove that Breeder Locke, your contribution to the school is very significant."
"After your four A-grade articles are approved, your contribution points will be 1600."
Locke nodded slightly, "I remember on the contribution points exchange list, there's something that although not marked, can actually be exchanged—advancement potions. How many contribution points does it take to exchange for advancement potions?"
