The farce began.
Similar to a farce, it ended.
Upon seeing Mina relay the message to Erick, Link wasted no time lingering around.
He didn’t plan on getting any further involved in this mess unless Rivers and Erick failed to start their dispute, or they provoked him again. Otherwise, Lin wouldn’t even bother to glance at them.
He simply asked Jasmine to keep an eye on the follow-up of this matter and notify him promptly of any developments or changes.
In other words, learning was still Link’s main focus at this stage, above everything else.
Part-time work was not only a way to earn Magic Stones, but also a valuable practical opportunity.
After only two visits to the Third Botanical Garden, Link’s understanding and mastery of the Secondary Misty Rain Technique and the Birth Induction Technique had deepened, and he was no longer just theory-wise with no practical experience in germinating plant seeds and cultivating plants. Thus, part-time work that aids in learning is, of course, highly desirable.
Jasmine happily agreed to Link’s request.
After all, she was the one who got herself into this trouble, even though she
was an innocent bystander.
From this incident, Jasmine gained quite a bit, with the two most important
gains being:
One, she learned more profoundly about the unsafe nature of the Wizard World, where danger could strike at any moment, coming from unknown sources;
Second, she realized more profoundly that hard power is the foundation of survival. Even a trouble-avoider like Link had to take a detour to solve this issue.
Jasmine had every reason to believe that if given more time for Link to acquire a power stronger than Rivers, Link would directly confront them instead of trying to instigate internal strife.
She was also deeply thankful for her decision to join Ravensmouth Biological
and Medical College with Link.
Without this decision, she would have undoubtedly taken many detours and encountered many obstacles before coming to her current realizations and changes.
“I will always cling to you, don’t even think about shaking me off!
Lagging a couple of steps behind on purpose, Jasmine pursed her lips tightly, looking at Link’s retreating figure and made a gesture with her right hand as if squeezing him tightly into her palm.
As if sensing something, Link looked back only to find Jasmine following
behind him with a serious face.
“What’s up?”
Link frowned slightly, a bit confused.
Ever since the second Will Rune “Refining” was successfully constructed, Link had a vague feeling that his sensing ability had improved slightly, and his intuition had become sharper and sharper, even having a bit of a sixth sense.
Just now, Link faintly sensed Jasmine doing some small movements behind
him.
But when he looked back, he found nothing.
Confused, Link looked forward again and strode on.
Jasmine sighed in relief, she was almost discovered. This blockhead is getting more and more formidable, even noticing this.
But he still missed this missy, didn’t he?
Smirked.
Jasmine felt smug and stuck out her tongue at Link’s retreating figure, making
a face.
However, as soon as her tongue was out, Link turned around swiftly and caught her right in the act.
“Childish!”
Link sneered, a bit speechless.
But considering Jasmine’s age, it was indeed the stage of being immature, so Link didn’t say anything and continued walking towards the library without paying attention to her.
Yesterday when he was in the library looking up germination material, he discovered a new feature on his personal AL
When in the library, Link could find a link in a remote corner of the college “official website” app, and after redirection, he could enter the Advanced Literature Library.
Link was certain that this was a feature updated on his personal Al after he had been promoted to a First Rank Wizard Apprentice. It did not exist before. This compensates for the fact that the library only collects basic, popular books and not the advanced ones.
When he arrived at his usual corner of the reading room, Link ignored Jasmine, who seemed to want to say something. He took out his personal Al, pen, and notebook, and started straight into his studies.
Knowledge was intoxicating, and learning made him happy.
Through the “official website”, Link accessed the Advanced Literature Library and entered “Secondary Misty Rain Technique”, “Birth Induction Technique”, “Germination”, “Silver Star Flower” in the keyword search box.
Hundreds of entries for various types of literature appeared on the screen.
Link browsed through the entries and chose some literature on the separate and combined use skills of the “Secondary Misty Rain Technique” and “Birth Induction Technique” to read first.
Famed scientist Newton from his previous life had a saying, “standing on the shoulders of giants”.
In Link’s view, standing on the shoulders of giants meant learning, absorbing the knowledge discovered, summarized, and inferred by predecessors, and then making a breakthrough.
There’s another saying, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Through continuous reading and learning, enriching one’s knowledge, and broadening one’s horizons, one could enhance one’s knowledge and capabilities.
With a glance, Link was immersed, forgetting about time and everything around him.
Only when his personal Al started to vibrate did the alarm remind Link that it was time to go back to the dormitory and he left the ocean of knowledge.
For safety reasons, Link sent Jasmine back first before returning to the dormitory himself.
Before opening the door, Link very politely asked the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet to stop protection mode.
Watching the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet, which resembled a fixed-wing drone, fly away, Link entered the dormitory, went straight to his study, and wrote down all the insights, experiences, and inspirations he had gained from reading the literature in the library on his notebook.
The Secondary Misty Rain Technique and the Birth Induction Technique were indeed great partners as the lecturers had alluded. They played a significant role in plant germination.
Whether it’s ordinary plants or extraordinary plants, normal seeds, or problematic seeds, using the Secondary Misty Rain Technique and Birth induction Technique together, perhaps with some nutrient solution and potions for disease-related factors, could almost always result in successful cultivation.
Link also learned many tricks of using these two Zero Ring witchcraft techniques together.
For example, for that batch of Silver Star Flower Seeds in the third shed of the third row, using the Secondary Misty Rain Technique and the Birth Induction Technique once a day for seven consecutive days would result in successful germination.
After learning this trick, Link originally thought that his cultivation plan had gone wrong.
After all, the work requirement given to him by the Botanical Garden was to have the seeds successfully germinate within a week.
However, after reading several pieces of literature related to the Silver Starflower, Link found that the seeds of the Silver Starflower often had difficulties germinating.
Especially for Silver Starflowers cultivated with the Secondary Misty Rain Technique and the Birth Induction Technique once a day, the seeds had a higher risk of issues than those cultivated by ordinary methods.
Link couldn’t help but ponder, where did the problem lie?
Was it a “genetic” issue with the Silver Star Flower?
Or was it a problem with the cultivation method?
Or perhaps both problems were present?
For now, Link didn’t know the answer.
But he had a hunch that when he cultivated the Silver Starflower according to his plan, his thoughts on this issue would become much clearer.
By then, Link would be able to conduct some targeted experiments and verify some speculations.
For now, his priority was still to collect information..
