Chapter 333 Change of Attitude, Complete Alchemy Inheritance, 3 Contribution Points, Exchange for Fi
Chapter 333 Change of Attitude, Complete Alchemy Inheritance, 300,000 Contribution Points, Exchanged for Fire Abyss Crystals!
"A contribution of 50,000!"
In the laboratory, Ian looked at the newly appeared contribution points on his identity mark and was filled with emotion.
In regular tasks, it's impossible to gain so many contribution points without putting in some effort.
But because of the war.
Because of the threat of the Balrog.
On the contrary, it gives Ian the opportunity to gain such a large number of contribution points in this way.
"The Fire Abyss Crystal requires 300,000 contribution points. Including this, I still have 150,000 left. I'm currently short 150,000, which means at least three components."
Ian's eyes flickered.
A sense of urgency arose in my heart.
It's not just the Darion of the Flameheart Chapter on the front lines that are vying for it; there are also issues with the project itself.
There aren't that many components.
As a three-ring alchemical puppet, the Balrog has over a hundred runes, not to mention the three-ring runes.
What they were analyzing were these hundreds of second-ring runes.
However, a significant portion of them were high-level runes from the second ring. As a newly promoted second-ring alchemist, he actually had very few runes to analyze.
Besides, there's Alberto competing with him.
In addition, these high-level alchemists, many of the high-level runes they research are related to some low-level runes. While solving the high-level runes, they also solved many low-level runes.
So in reality, they didn't have that many runes left.
"But there should still be four."
Ian's eyes flickered. In the shadows, the new component Elgar had given him was a screw assembly used for securing the Balrog inside.
Calm down.
I started learning.
three days later.
"A glimpse into the truth!"
Countless silver sands seemed to flash in Ian's eyes, but as the energy was depleted, no new skills appeared on the panel.
His brows furrowed.
Ian murmured, "Last time, I was able to get the hang of the rune on the first try because it was related to the Darkfire rune. But this rune is clearly not related and is much more difficult. It will be quite troublesome to analyze it thoroughly."
The real reason is that his alchemy skills are too shallow.
At this time, he had only been promoted to the second ring for a short time, and had only been a second-ring alchemist for a short time. In fact, his only alchemist skill was the Spiritual Forging Method.
"That's far from enough!"
Ian's eyes flickered; the Spiritual Forging Method, strictly speaking, was at least used to awaken spirituality.
But this is far from enough to actually create a gold product.
For example, forging methods, and the methods for constructing flowing energy patterns, etc.
The previous version was the simplest one, so I used some methods that worked before, but this time it was clearly more difficult.
He needs new knowledge.
Truly systematic knowledge of witchcraft.
But the academy won't give him these things for free, not even if Darwin values them.
But coincidentally...
Ian has three slots available for exchanging second-circle sorcery upon advancing to the rank of Grand Scholar.
With that thought in mind, Ian set off to find Augusto and soon met him.
Put down what you're doing.
Augusto looked at Ian and said, "You want to know which complete alchemical traditions the academy possesses?"
"Yes."
Ian nodded.
"The academy has many branches of the first-circle alchemy tradition, but there is only one set of the second-circle alchemy tradition, which the academy purchased at a high price. The core witchcraft consists of four branches, and the spiritual forging method you obtained earlier is actually a part of it. The other three branches usually require review before they can be approved."
Augusto spoke slowly.
Ian frowned.
It still needs to be reviewed.
"But you have already proven your talent. I will apply to the dean. You should have a quota available for redemption, right?"
Augusto's expression was complex.
He later saw Ian's document as well, and this talent was something he had never seen before in his alchemy career.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Minister."
Ian's eyes lit up.
"Then let's wait for news."
"Yes, sir."
Click.
The gate closed, and Augusto prepared to meet with Minister Darwin.
But after taking only a few steps, he quickly turned back, grabbed a document, and left with it.
The document is precisely the rubbing analyzed by Ian.
soon.
He arrived at Darwin's door, knocked, and went inside.
After half an hour.
He left again, a smile on his face.
In the room behind him, Darwin was staring at the document in front of him with a look of utter disbelief.
"Is this definitely someone who just received the second-level alchemy training?"
the next day.
Ian was summoned to Darwin's office.
"Your Excellency, Minister."
Ian looked respectfully at the head of the academy's alchemy department, who was also the academy's only second-ring advanced alchemist.
The minister, whom Ian had met several times, just stared straight at him, making Ian feel a little uneasy.
"minister."
Darwin then came to his senses.
He looked at Ian with a complicated expression, then tossed over a knowledge crystal: "This contains all the inheritance of a second-ring beginner alchemist, including not only the four core alchemy techniques, but also related supplementary knowledge."
"this?"
Ian was taken aback.
He only has three second-circle sorcery exchange qualifications.
But this is a complete inheritance, and it's completely unequal.
"Sir, my credit limit..."
"Don't worry, the rest can be covered by my credit limit."
Darwin waved his hand and said, "You don't need to pay me back. I just hope that the academy can produce a top-level alchemist soon and not disappoint me."
The academy is so restrictive in so many ways, especially in alchemy and crafting. I was born into the realm of elemental magic, and I have only one hope: that I can create everything myself in the future, instead of simply relying on the Gray Tower. Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself.
Listening to Darwin's heartfelt words.
Ian felt that the legacy in his hands seemed to have become much heavier.
He nodded firmly: "I won't let the minister down."
"come on."
Darwin also looked at Ian; he saw that hope in that document.
I just don't know how long it will take.
Will that day ever come?
Back in the lab.
Ian opened the legacy with great excitement.
"The four core sorcery spells are Forging Grip, Pattern Weaving, Node Solidification, and Spiritual Forging, all of which are low-level second-circle sorcery spells and of excellent quality."
Ian looked at the four magic spells.
The first technique is fire-based sorcery, which can produce a special flame used to melt materials. Interestingly, this flame can also be used for attack.
The second gate is for constructing energy circuits, and the third gate is for fixing energy nodes and the core spiritual forging method.
"The talent value for each skill ranges from one thousand to three thousand. The second-ring witchcraft is indeed extraordinary."
Ian sighed inwardly.
Although the required talents increase dramatically after reaching Dawnlight, the knowledge contained in second-circle sorcery is also greatly increased.
Some parts of what is passed down also contain knowledge.
That adds up to quite a lot.
"Let's start learning."
Ian took a deep breath.
So, in addition to his usual research on the Flame Demon components and improving his mental strength, all his time was devoted to learning these alchemy techniques.
Fortunately, researching the Flame Demon Components is itself a way to improve alchemy.
In addition, the project team also includes top alchemists such as Augusto and Elgar.
He sometimes asks questions.
Augusto thought highly of him and answered his questions almost without charge, while Elgar would occasionally answer his questions as well.
Thus, he quickly mastered these three witchcraft techniques.
In the blink of an eye.
Another four months have passed.
In the laboratory.
Ian looked calmly at the lab table.
Ahead, a ball of orange-red flames was burning, and a piece of second-ring ore was being burned away of impurities while other materials were being incorporated into it.
Several hours later.
A piece of wood appeared on it, and then his mental energy transformed into a carving knife, and runes and energy channels appeared on it.
At the same time, in this process, he awakened the spirit of the materials and runes, making them more harmonious.
Finally, as the last curing node was completed, Ian looked at the newly made component.
Its surface is perfectly smooth, and its internal energy flow and rune pages are virtually flawless.
At the same time, a prompt appears on the panel.
[The Flame Demon Component - 1] has reached Master level, increasing your talent by 800.
[Talent: 21100 → 21900]
"Master level."
Ian took a deep breath.
This time, the Master level took longer than expected, mainly due to learning a few basic witchcraft spells and becoming familiar with the alchemy system.
The speed might be faster afterwards.
"Two more are needed."
Ian's eyes flickered; he had also been hearing about Darian during this time.
It wasn't that he was deliberately asking.
Rather, this young wizard is a star figure on the front lines, and is one of the core figures cultivated by the Molten Core Chapter.
With the help of the Legion, we have captured several Crimson Eye resource points in succession.
It's clear that the forces behind him are helping him accumulate contribution points.
"Even so, I heard that the contribution points are about the same as mine."
Ian sighed inwardly.
This is also why he likes the rear.
Currently, their contribution points should be roughly the same.
"But I need to hurry up, otherwise it would be really bad if he really made a great contribution."
His eyes flickered.
He began organizing the new documents.
Several days later.
Project team meeting.
Several second-circle wizards returned, but things had changed significantly compared to a few months ago.
Elgar was dressed in a gray alchemical wizard's robe, which was stained with various alchemical solutions, making him look quite disheveled.
Alberto, standing to the side, still had his head slightly raised, but his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.
The same applies to Augusto and Leo.
He looked quite tired.
"Progress report..."
""
The meeting proceeded as planned.
Augusto and Leo were the first to begin, and they reported on their respective progress.
Next up is Alberto.
"I've already analyzed half of the second rune, and I expect it will be completed in another two months."
"Ian, what about you?"
Elgar looked at Ian, not underestimating him.
It was only because he had occasionally visited Ian's lab during this period that he could clearly see Ian learning new alchemy.
And every observation.
The progress has been quite significant.
"I have completed the analysis of the new part, sir."
Ian took out his files.
"Oh?"
Elgar was taken aback.
This one was much more difficult than the previous one, yet it was completed so quickly?
Alberto, who was standing next to him, also suddenly looked up.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
At first, he thought it might be an accident, so he actually had a strong desire to surpass Ian in the new components.
He only completed half of it.
Ian finished again?
As for how it is, you'll know once you look at the documents.
soon.
Everyone took a look.
"Excellent, even better than the last one."
Elgar commented.
"Thank you, sir."
Ian responded.
Although he found the flaws and solutions last time, his alchemy skills were shallow, so it wasn't very effective.
But this time there has been some progress, and the solution will naturally be better.
Alberto, standing to the side, fell silent again, lost in thought, though a hint of existential doubt lingered in his mind.
Augusto smiled with satisfaction once again.
His efforts to find the minister to pass on the legacy to Ian were worthwhile.
"Very...very good. Even among the alchemists in the Radiant Branch, your talent is quite remarkable."
Elgar said.
Then, in front of the silent Alberto, he handed Ian a new part.
"Give this a try. It's also in the early stages of the second ring, but it's more difficult than the previous two combined. You can give it a try."
Elgar decided to increase the difficulty further.
"Yes, sir."
Ian took it.
If that's the case, then after this is over, perhaps the contribution points will be enough.
soon.
New contribution points have been credited to your account.
Sixty thousand contribution points.
It was even higher than Ian had expected.
At this point, we were still 90,000 contribution points short of obtaining the Fire Abyss Crystal, due to the pressure from Darion.
Ian also had to reduce his meditation time and devote more time to alchemy.
soon.
Get started with the new components and begin to improve rapidly.
Of course, this doesn't mean Ian has given up his meditation time, since both his mental strength and the degree of his elementalization need to be improved.
But soon.
Ian also discovered a new problem.
"Have you run out of elemental crystals?"
Ian's eyes flickered as he looked at the bottle Kieran had given him earlier, which was now empty.
It can normally be used for ten months, but he only used it for about eight months.
Elementalization should be around 4%, but it's actually only 3.5% at present.
"What is the reason for this?"
Ian fell into thought.
A possible answer was quickly obtained.
"Could it be that my foundation is too deep, and my Four Symbols Sacred Body is actually stronger than the initial version, thus requiring more resources?"
Ian thought this guess was the most likely.
It is common knowledge that the stronger one's physique, the more resources it requires.
But for Ian, this was not good news.
After all, his physical condition will improve in the future.
"But we can worry about that later; there's no need to worry about it now."
Ian shook his head.
He also owns mines.
By directly submitting the resources from the Second Ring, he could actually exchange them for a portion of elemental crystals from the academy.
This is also one of the channels through which those in the second ring obtain cultivation materials.
I just don't know how much the academy will consume along the way.
Soon, Ian handed over the second-ring resources of the mine to the Academy and obtained a new share of elemental crystals.
You can get about two grams in about a month.
That's quite normal, considering it's a large mineral vein.
With the resources secured, Ian's elementalization process returned to normal.
He continued to dedicate himself to alchemy.
In the blink of an eye.
Five months have passed.
"Is this new?"
Elgar stared blankly at the documents Ian had submitted, and instinctively asked a question.
The difficulty is increasing, but the time required is actually decreasing.
This only proves...
Ian is progressing faster than the difficulty level he has set for him.
"Ian, your alchemical talent is top-notch, even at Radiant Wizarding Academy," he said after a moment of silence.
Alberto remained silent.
Head bowed, all pride gone.
He was completely convinced.
Both are at the beginner level of the second ring, but Ian's progress is terrifying, as is his learning ability.
It reminded him of some guys in the academy.
"This is new. Once we finish analyzing this, our first step will be almost complete, and we can prepare to begin the second phase."
Elgar assigns Ian a new task.
"Yes, sir."
Ian nodded, but all he could think about was how many contribution points he could get and how to exchange them for Fire Abyss Crystals.
Elgar had been on the project team for a long time and knew the source of Ian's urgency: "I know you're a bit short on contribution points. Logically, it should be 80,000 contribution points, but I'll apply for more for you. After all, contributions can't always be calculated solely based on analysis, and many of your ideas have helped the project a lot."
97
"Thank you, sir."
Ian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he relaxed when he heard the second half.
But he understood that while he was good at analysis, he was far from capable of offering help; this was clearly Elgar's way of making overtures.
Augusto and Leo, who were standing nearby, both smiled when they saw this.
They were all from the Alchemy Department, so naturally they were happy to see it happen.
three days later.
One hundred thousand contribution points were deposited into Ian's account.
The funds were received on the same day.
Ian then went to the Resources Department.
It cost 300,000 contribution points.
They obtained the only available Fire Abyss Crystal.
