BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120 - 110 35 People, 78 Guns l
The strategy guide was quickly finished.
Link scanned through it, making sure there were no omissions, then took the guide and left.
The cafeteria.
The two sat across from each other, quietly eating.
After the meal, they cleaned up their tableware, and as they left the cafeteria, Link handed the strategy guide to Jasmine, then directed her to head to the laboratory building.
After one night’s rest, it was enough! The production team’s pack animals weren’t allowed to rest this much.
Jasmine was prepared and had become a person fond of hard work, hence she didn’t object to this arrangement.
She quickly skimmed through the guide and was delighted.
Meditation, witchcraft, research, and experiments already took up a large part of her efforts.
If she had to divide her attention to study Potions, without the strategy guide, it would be troublesome and might even disrupt her established habits and rhythm.
However, she should have no problem following the guide.
It appeared straightforward, only requiring dexterity in hand movements.
Link headed towards the Witchcraft Trade Center by himself.
Tina’s remarks on opportunities reminded Link.
The importance of the inter-district competition became more and more clear to him.
At first, he only aimed for the first prize of the competition, the right to use a large laboratory for a year;
Then he became involved in the bet between Wizard Palo and Wizard Peter Lionel;
And now he knew that the academy had arranged two significant opportunities during the spring semesters of the third and fourth years, which could greatly increase the probability of Wizard Apprentices being promoted to Official Wizards.
All of these led Link to attach more importance to the inter-district competition.
The preparations naturally needed to be even more sufficient.
The first step was to quickly increase his Zero Ring witchcraft reserve.
Even if they were not frequently used, as long as they had a certain functionality, they had to be mastered.
This was in response to possible exploration of Secret Realms and survival in desperate situations that might occur in the inter-district competition.
Anyway, he had both money and time now, he just needed to invest some time in practicing to reach mastery level.
As for Jasmine, when she is promoted to a second-rank wizard apprentice, go ahead and let her shift her focus to Witchcraft.
Link, with a hefty amount of Magic Stones, went into the Witchcraft Trade Center.
With a series of operations, too standard first-level Magic Stones were swallowed by the Witchcraft Trade Center, spitting out 20 Magic Blueprint Scrolls.
He got 10 Zero Ring Water System Witchcraft and 10 Zero Ring Wood System Witchcraft, enough for Link to study for quite some time.
Leaving the Witchcraft Trade Center, Link immediately went to the lab building.
Third floor underground, laboratory.
Jasmine started her simulation training after setting the parameters of the intelligent simulation equipment, wearing her glasses and gloves.
Potion making was not something one could master immediately, wasting raw materials was secondary, the real fear was having misguided techniques without realizing it and developing bad habits.
Simulation training first, adjusting and correcting operations according to real-time prompts, waiting until the manufacturing process is familiar within her heart, she will then practice real manipulation.
Link glanced at her, then ignored her.
He started to study the new 20 Zero Ring Witchcraft he just bought and arranged them.
First practice Zero Ring Witchcraft that didn’t need time to mull over Rule Runes and those that needed additional understanding of Rule Runes before mastering would be learned later.
From easy to difficult, progress step by step.
The spring semester was about to begin, and the academy began bustling again. Those who were working part-time in Ravensmouth City, those who went out to travel or explore, those who stayed in the library for self-studying, all began socializing.
The lawns by the lake, whether on the Southern District side or the North District side, had several groups of people picnicking and gathering.
There were also a lot of people flocking to the various entertainment venues within the academy.
Little circles of people started to mobilize.
The “forum” was also bustling.
Many people, whether they were at gatherings, parties, or on the “forum”, started to discuss the several murder cases that happened during the holidays.
Those who died outside the academy were not only Harold Andrews, Antoine Hilton, and Rives Francis;
Not only Storm Sea New Blood, but also several local wizard apprentices from the North District had accidents.
This made many people sigh with emotion.
The outside world is cool, but it is also cruel.
A slight accident, even a tiny mishap, could result in immediate death.
Most people only have one life, and there are no opportunities for resurrection once they die.
However, people’s sadness and joy are not interconnected.
These few murder cases only attracted a considerable amount of attention for a short period of time, except for those who were closely related to the deceased or had had connections with them, still monitoring and discussing the situation.
Other people began to talk about the inter-district competition to be held in two months.
One by one, rumors about the inter-district competition were released, mixed with truth and falsehood, making it hard to distinguish.
Meanwhile, certain things were being carried out quietly.
Southern District, the headquarters of the New Blood Mutual Aid Association.
The election for the chairperson and vice-chairperson was about to take place, and several people who hoped to be seated as chairperson started to canvass votes.
Two third-year New Blood, Robin Grayam and Eugene Delarosa, who had once accompanied Wizard Palo to the Colosseum, were among them and had the greatest chances.
Another two second-year New Blood, Fargo Gavin, and Tuck Jones, aimed for the vice-chairperson position.
“Fargo, you’re supporting me, right?”
Robin Grayam approached the familiar Fargo Gavin and asked.
“Of course.”
Fargo Gavin’s answer was very certain.
As part of an exchange of interests, once Robin Grayam takes the chairperson’s position, he will naturally support Fargo Gavin as vice-chairperson.
The two of their interests had long been tied together.
Unless Eugene Delarosa or another chairperson candidate offered more generous terms.
Otherwise, Fargo Gavin would not be so stupid as to switch sides at the last minute.
Eugene Delarosa was also idly chatting with Tuck Jones.
