Chapter 84 New Mission

The days that followed for Jemin seemed to return to a calm rhythm.

Until this day, he received a mission notice from mentor Clark.

"Are we going to provide strategic reserves again like before?!" Benjamin looked at Instructor Clark warily.

The last mission had exhausted him to the point where he was psychologically traumatized.

"If it's still this kind of job, I won't accept it. I'm very busy right now..."

"Don't worry, the war in the Shadow Plane is going smoothly, and there haven't been any wartime needs recently." Professor Clark raised his head from a pile of messy papers and rubbed his nose.

"It's almost time to spread the Qualification Transformation Potion again for the new year. This time, you'll be tasked with spreading it over a large area. The academy will provide the spreading equipment and routes... This is a simple mission and won't waste too much of your time."

After hearing this, Benjamin felt even more puzzled. Instructor Clark was right. The task of spreading the qualification potion was not a big deal.

The so-called splashing of aptitude potions is an inherent way for wizards to transform planes.

As wizards develop and expand the endless plane, their demand for fresh blood is growing.

The losses in war, the occupation after conquering the plane, the transformation of new knowledge, and breakthroughs in scientific research all require a steady stream of talent.

Given that the probability of having wizarding qualifications in the naturally occurring human population is extremely low, wizarding civilization has developed an efficient "population optimization" mechanism.

No one knows when it started, but wizards have become accustomed to regularly releasing aptitude-transforming potions on a large scale in the planes they rule.

These diluted aptitude-transforming potions will be rained down by wizards across the entire plane to gradually improve the average aptitude level of humans in the plane.

This transformation is gradual and does not require immediate results.

In addition, when people with high qualifications combine with each other, the possibility of giving birth to offspring with even higher qualifications will be slightly higher. If this continues, as long as time is long enough, one day it will reach an extraordinary level of popularity where all humans in the entire plane can practice meditation.

The subordinate planes of the Norn Workshop are divided into two parts.

Some of them are core planes, which are the planes with a long history numbered before 10. They have been transformed for a very long time, and not only have they achieved the goal of all members having extraordinary talents, but the average level of talent among the population is also extremely high.

The other part is the planes that were re-established after later development, including planes from No. 10 to more than No. 130, such as the Noren No. 13 plane where Jemin is located.

The qualification transformation time of the Noren 13 plane where Jemin is located is not too long compared to those core planes. It has probably lasted for more than 200 years but less than 300 years. Therefore, the average qualification growth of humans in the plane is not obvious, and the proportion of people who can step into the extraordinary realm is not high.

For this reason, wizards have always maintained the medieval living and technological levels of this plane, and do not announce the existence of supernatural beings to ensure the stability of the social structure.

Only when the proportion of the population who can practice meditation grows to a certain level, will wizards gradually announce the existence of supernatural powers and guide ordinary people to come into contact with supernatural powers.

And when the proportion of extraordinary people increases a little more, the technological level and production level of the plane will even be improved to adapt to the living needs and psychological needs of more and more extraordinary people.

If it is a plane like the core plane where all members have talents above level one, the technological level inside can even reach the level of the future world in science fiction novels.

Because by then, even the most ordinary people in the plane will be able to use extraordinary powers, and some equipment based on extraordinary powers can be distributed without hesitation, achieving a technological leap.

Of course, in addition to the humans in the orthodox wizard plane, there are also many servant tribes under the wizard civilization.

Although their strength varies, the proportion of extraordinary people in the tribe who can become servants is generally quite exaggerated, and most of them remain at 100%.

Moreover, when the wizard civilization conquered many dimensions, it also acquired a lot of knowledge that could enable ordinary people to become extraordinary. The wizard civilization itself even had many technologies that could transform ordinary people into extraordinary people.

But even with such convenient conditions, the wizard civilization still does not relax the threshold for creating extraordinary people.

As things develop, the fate of this knowledge is to be gradually eliminated or absorbed into the wizarding system.

The main reason for this choice is only one: the wizard civilization is too powerful!

Although the knowledge that allows ordinary people to gain extraordinary powers is effective, most of it can only produce weak extraordinary people, and the cost-effectiveness is too low.

For the existing wizard civilization, weak supernatural beings who cannot promote the advancement of knowledge have no meaning at all. Instead, they increase the cost of management.

For example, ordinary alchemical wizards, once they have mastered the technology of human body refining and artificial soul technology, can produce large armies of extraordinary people in batches on their own as long as there are enough resources.

A sixth-level alchemy wizard like Clark can even use an assembly line to mass-produce fourth-level wizard-level extraordinary people, and the elite units he produces can even reach level six.

For such an existence, even if the extraordinary knowledge can enable mortals to produce extraordinary people in large numbers, it is meaningless.

Therefore, unless the number of gifted people in the entire civilization system is so large that it cannot be concealed, wizards will not open the path to extraordinaryness for ordinary people without talent.

After years of development, wizards finally confirmed that only high-level wizards have real significance in wizard civilization.

Things like wizard academies are essentially just cradles for the birth of more advanced wizards, and wizard apprentices are just consumables in the process of screening high-level wizards.

Therefore, even in a "newly" developed plane like Noren No. 13, even if the number of people with talents is low, Noren Academy still only accepts apprentices with talents above level three, and there is no intention of changing the threshold.

After all, the detection of wizard talent is related to the innate mental power and soul strength. People with high talent are not necessarily wise, but people with wisdom will definitely not have too low talent.

Wizards believe that cultivating those gifted individuals whose talents do not meet the standards is too cost-effective. The only role of these people is to give birth to more gifted people.

This is the wizard civilization, a civilization so rational as to be almost cruel.

However, as a vested interest in this system, Benjamin had no objection.

After all, although it seems to have blocked the choice path of most people, even according to his moral concepts, the wizards take good care of their untalented compatriots in their own group.
