Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 33: Investment_l

Sophie Lucia was a person of action.

She headed straight back to her office as the Deputy Director of the Botanical Garden to crack Link’s germination method.

She knew the following details:

First, the Silver Star Flower Seed germination method was centered around the secondary Misty Rain and Birth Induction Techniques;

Second, Link Grande’s work journal showed that he visited twice daily; once in the morning and once in the evening;

Third, Link Grande used the secondary Misty Rain Technique twice on the first evening but didn’t use the Birth Induction Technique;

Fourth, the germination was successful in six days, or more accurately, five and a half days;

Fifth, the success rate of germination was over 70%, indicating the better efficacy of the germination method in restoring flawed seeds. He neither overused the Birth Induction Technique nor did he abstain from using it.

Based on these premises, Sophie Lucia used the method of exhaustion to come up with several dozen combinations of the secondary Misty Rain and Birth Induction Techniques.

Following the exploration of some impractical applications and elimination of the same, Sophie Lucia drastically reduced her workload.

Next, it was time for experimentation, verification, and elimination.

She needed to determine whether, during mornings, it was one or two secondary Misty Rain Techniques, daily or once every two to three days that the Birth Induction Techniques were used, and whether they were performed in the morning or evening…

Sophie Lucia was confident that at the end of the experiment, a new method for Silver Star Flower Seed germination would be uncovered.

Link was running out of time.

He had less than two weeks.

Link was keen to view humanity in the worst light possible

He intuitively knew he had to hurry up, finish his experiments, gather data, write his thesis, and apply for a patent.

Otherwise, he may be stolen.

This person might not necessarily be Sophie Lucia.

The world was filled with wizards and apprentices, and it was possible that someone else might coincidentally have the same ideas, methods, and results as Link.

After all, his germination method was neither complicated nor profound. It was a cause waiting to be breached.

However, experiments needed funding.

And Link was completely broke.

Without the lodging and boarding provided by Ravensmouth Biological and Medical College, he could not concentrate on his studies but would have to worry about making a living.

So, where would the experiment funding come from?

Looking up inadvertently, Link’s gaze was glued onto Jasmine sitting across from him.

She was a petite and rich girl, with plenty of money. Could he maybe live off her riches?

While pondering this, his eyes were fixated on her.

Jasmine felt the scorching gaze on her and wondered.

Why the sudden, deep stares?

Has this emotionless dummy finally achieved enlightenment?

That didn’t seem right!

Blinking her eyes, Jasmine couldn’t help but ask: “Why are you staring at me like that? Have you finally realized my beauty, appreciated my goodness?”

To that, Link didn’t respond directly and shifted his gaze instead.

He had briefly produced an inappropriate idea, but he quickly discarded it.

“Nothing, I just randomly remembered that you should be preparing for your promotion soon.”

Sidestepping the issue, Link changed the conversation.

Jasmine pursed her lips in doubt.

She didn’t believe that Link’s gaze had been provoked due to her imminent promotion.

Shortly, this morning, she had described her progress in meditation in detail.

So what was it that made Link stare at her?

Jasmine started guessing.

It must be something he couldn’t easily bring himself to say. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be in Link’s nature to back out suddenly.

Reflecting over the tasks Link had been busy with recently, a few words popped into Jasmine’s head; “Silver Star Flower,” “germination,” “experiment,” “data,” “thesis.”

Jasmine understood.

However, she didn’t broadcast it, but instead casually lowered her head and carried on with her reading.

As time ticked away, it was soon time to leave the library.

Link walked Jasmine to her dorm, ready to say goodbye.

“Wait here for a moment,” Jasmine spoke first.

With that, she darted upstairs without waiting for Link’s response.

Upon witnessing her act, Link understood that she had deduced the words he had previously refrained from speaking due to his awkwardness.

While Link felt slightly awkward, he didn’t want to disappear without a word. Otherwise, he would appear heartless, lacking a sense of responsibility.

“I’m guessing you have something you want to get done but lack the initial investment.”

Shortly, Jasmine returned downstairs, handing a small box into Link’s hands, declaring, “There are five standard level one magic stones in here. Take it as my investment in you. If things turn out well, give back my share along with dividends. But even if things go south, I cannot go unrewarded!”

Upon saying this, she ran off.

She was clearly not giving Link the chance to refuse.

Watching Jasmine disappear around the comer, clutching the small box in his hand, Link was filled with warmth.

The efforts of the past few days hadn’t been in vain after all.

But…

He did not need that many magic stones!

“Ah!”

With a sigh, Link resigned himself to accept it, teary-eyed.

No time like the present to prepare.

Link headed straight to the fourth floor of the Services Building.

Entering the shop that sold plant seeds, germination equipment, nutrient solutions, and plant potions, he picked a few items and bargained a bit.

Link successfully purchased the seeds required for the six groups of experiments for the cost of half a standard level one magic stone.

The shop had special half magic stones available for transactions.

Next, he bought a second-hand greenhouse simulation equipment for the price of two standard level one magic stones.

With this equipment, Link could perform his experiments in his dorm and did not need to visit the Third Botanical Garden.

It was both convenient and safe, eliminating the fear of his experiments getting destroyed and data leakage.

That’s why having a dedicated lab or even a building or compound was so important for researchers.

Link weighed the small box in his hands. The five magic stones he had just obtained were cut down to two and a half in just a moment.

Considering he earned just two standard level one magic stones a month from his part-time job, the job was relatively easy and not very tiring. Still, the acceptance criteria were high.

Money was hard to earn but wasted in no time!

With the seed bags in his pocket and the equipment on his shoulder, he returned to his dorm to begin his busy schedule.

He assembled the equipment, set parameters, marked the seeds, and classified them.

In no time, Link finished all the preparations for the experiment.

After a short rest, Link conducted a final check, ensuring that all was in order.

Once everything was confirmed to be in place, Link scattered the six groups of seeds into their respective areas in the greenhouse simulation equipment.

He planned to let them stay there until morning, after which he would start the germination.

After completing all tasks, Link cleaned his hands, took a look at his work, and satisfied, went off to wash up..
