Chapter 106 Connections

After updating their current level information and submitting the intelligence they had gained, the three of them emerged from the Rune Tower in the center of the camp.

As soon as she walked out of the central rune tower, Amy couldn't help but sigh: "Well, this is really an 'assessment'."

Benjamin and the other two found a relatively secluded corner. Occasionally, figures in wizard robes hurried by. The camp was filled with a unique sense of busyness and urgency, as if every wizard was racing against time.

However, this atmosphere caused Benjamin and the other two to fall into some distress.

"So, that's all our permissions?" Victor frowned, a hint of resignation in his tone. "We can resupply, buy and sell materials, and even leave... but we can't accept missions. This means we have to keep searching for targets by chance like before, which is incredibly inefficient."

Amy was also a little discouraged. "Yes, with our current strength, even if we all become first-level wizards, we can only fight a small battle on the front line. Although the enemies we can eliminate have contributed, they are simply a drop in the bucket for the battle of the entire plane."

Benjamin remained silent, it's not that he hadn't thought about this question.

For first-level wizards of their strength, the most suitable way to advance is usually to sneak into the various towns and countries in the Elosia plane, and use the wizard's secret methods to steal relevant intelligence and deep knowledge of this plane.

This information is crucial to the workshop's strategic layout and naturally brings high contributions.

However, the problem at this stage is that general Elosian intelligence and knowledge, such as basic language, customs, geography, and the apparent distribution of power, has basically been collected by the wizards who entered earlier.

To obtain deeper information, one must infiltrate the more core and higher-level areas of this plane, or even into temples or palaces.

However, the three of Benjamin were not specialized in infiltration or intelligence wizards, and were not good at this kind of difficult infiltration operations.

What's more, for wizards like them who are good at research, the most suitable way to contribute is actually to sit in the back and study all kinds of novel materials sent from the front line and the extraordinary knowledge related to this plane.

Explore its useful uses, or find ways to restrain the extraordinary beings of this plane.

If it is a more advanced wizard, he can even directly study the nature of the rules of this world, and find ways to speed up the immersion in the plane rules, fundamentally weakening the plane resistance.

But there was a problem – the timing of their arrival was a bit awkward.

The materials and knowledge that are relatively easy to research and can produce results quickly have basically been studied by the wizards who entered earlier.

The rest are topics that require enormous effort and are difficult to make breakthroughs in a short period of time.

Just as Benjamin and Victor were feeling embarrassed about their current predicament, Amy, who had been tapping on her communicator, suddenly had her eyes light up and let out a low cry.

"I know what to do!" Amy suddenly looked up, her tone excited.

Benjamin and Victor were stunned and asked in unison: "What method?"

Amy smiled mysteriously: "The camp has only blocked our mission system, preventing us from directly obtaining mission information. But this doesn't mean that we can't get relevant information from other wizards and process it to earn contribution points!"

Victor's eyes lit up. "You mean... spend points to buy intelligence? Or exchange them for supplies?"

Hearing this, Benjamin touched his chin and nodded.

This method is theoretically feasible. After all, as long as the information is not top secret, the workshop allows internal transactions.

"That's a good idea." Benjamin nodded, but then frowned. "But the problem is, we're new here and aren't familiar with the place. Most of the wizards in the camp are on missions. Even if they're resting, they won't easily trade the intelligence and news they've gathered with apprentices like us. Who would take that risk?"

Amy showed a confident smile on her face: "Don't worry. I know someone here."

"What?!" Benjamin and Victor were stunned almost at the same time, their faces showing the same expression of shock and incomprehension.

Benjamin knew that Amy was good at interpersonal communication, but no matter how good she was, she shouldn't expand her network here, right?

"Amy, you...how do you know anyone here?" Victor was even more direct, his tone tinged with disbelief. "Could it be someone from your family? But I remember your family..."

Amy waved her hand and interrupted him: "Don't guess. My family is very small. There are only three real wizards including myself, and none of them are here."

She didn't keep the secret, but took out a crystal ball carved with complex runes from her bosom.

This crystal ball emitted a faint blue light. It was her fifth-level magical weapon engraved with the "Soul Search" witchcraft model!

"The person I mean by acquaintance is the senior from the academy who sold me this fifth-level magical weapon." Amy raised the crystal ball, her tone carrying a hint of pride.

A hint of doubt flashed in Jieming's eyes: "Didn't you say that this was given to you by your mother?"

"Please, I mean I got it through my mother's connections, not directly given to me." Amy couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Victor nodded beside him. "Wizards believe in equal exchange, so they really don't provide any resources directly."

Jie Mingruo nodded, but then he became confused: Why can the buyer of a magical weapon keep in touch with the seller?

According to the academy's sales system, shouldn't magical weapons of this level first be placed in the academy's warehouse and then sold by the academy?

Amy saw the confusion in Jieming's eyes and couldn't help but remind him, "Jieming, not everyone has the authority you have to freely purchase magical weapons and knowledge of any level."

When Benjamin heard this, his expression froze slightly.

He obtained a second-level training agreement very early on, and all magical weapons, materials and knowledge can be obtained without restrictions as long as he has enough points.

Because he was too used to it, and because he only interacted with official wizards on a daily basis, he had unconsciously ignored this issue.

Before being promoted to a first-level wizard, ordinary wizard apprentices can only purchase knowledge and equipment at the level of a first-level formal wizard.

However, most wizard apprentices do not have enough points to buy higher-level items, so they really don't notice this problem.

Amy shook her head. "However, this assessment is unusual. Almost everyone anticipated from the start that it would be a real-life dimensional war. Therefore, apprentices like us must do everything we can to improve our survivability and combat effectiveness."
