Chapter 152: Leaving and Making Up for Weaknesses (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Benjamin smiled slightly, then became distressed.
"To be honest, I'm not sure what the best price for this thing is. Teacher, do you have any suggestions?"
Mentor Clarke's eyes flashed: "Red Dust Potion...right? What is the yield of this potion?"
Benjamin remained calm and revealed his trump card: "The production of this potion is limited by the raw materials. Currently, based on my situation, I can only produce two bottles of this level of 'Red Dust Potions' per month at most."
Two bottles a month...
Clark felt a little regretful. Although such a low output could sell each drug at a higher price, it limited the market for this drug.
Fortunately, the effect is amazing enough that the price can be raised a bit higher.
After thinking it over carefully, Clark quoted an astronomical figure that would bankrupt an ordinary fifth-level wizard.
However, for a sixth-level wizard like Mentor Clark, this price, although high, seems... quite reasonable!
It can even be said to be "excellent value for money"!
If you simply purify the soul and mental power in proportion, the price will be high, but it will definitely not be so exaggerated.
After all, the thing that the endless plane lacks the least is treasures.
There are quite a few treasures that can directly allow a level six wizard's soul essence to reach level seven. Even some larger wizarding forces have channels that can regularly produce such resources.
For wizards, pure emotional experience is just a worthless little thing to entertain themselves with.
But if you combine these two together, it becomes "luxury".
Being able to improve one's strength while "enjoying" it, coupled with the extremely low production volume, the initial target customers of this thing should not be those "ordinary" level six wizards.
"If you trust me, you can let me sell the potions in the future," Clark said.
Benjamin naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing, so he took out three bottles of potion and handed them over on the spot: "No problem, thank you, mentor, these are all the potions I have made recently."
Mentor Clark took the three bottles of potions without hesitation and paid a huge amount of points to Jemin through the magic network terminal.
Benjamin looked at the number on his points account that suddenly jumped and increased by several digits, and he felt ecstatic.
"I'll pay you for three bottles in total, including the one I just took, but I can't pay you for the remaining bottle." Teacher Clark spoke again.
"I need to take this bottle of potion to my mentor as a basis for explaining to him and getting his consent to create a level 7 large elemental pool for you. It will be enough to prove your ability to pay."
"Teacher, thank you very much..." Benjamin felt grateful.
My mentor is really dedicated to his work.
Clark waved his hand and said nothing more.
After saying goodbye to mentor Clark, Jermyn returned to Golden Garden.
He looked at the huge points number on the magic network terminal and began to plan what to do next.
Even with this Red Dust Potion as a high-value commodity, with a monthly output of two bottles, it would still take him eight or nine years to gather enough points to purchase a large seventh-level elemental pool.
This time is still long, but compared to the previously estimated decades of boring refined gold manufacturing, the process of earning points is much easier.
Moreover, Jemin had another idea in his mind - if he could go to other planes and collect more mortal energy, he could speed up the accumulation process of points.
After all, although the earthly energy of the Eloshia plane is huge, it ultimately has a limit.
And as it is conquered and transformed by wizards, the mortal energy that the Eloshia plane can produce will become less and less.
And in the multiverse, there is definitely more than one plane like Elosia that has a large number of intelligent life.
Over the next few months, Jermyn again focused most of his attention on research.
Because his main research was on the divine power belief network, he spent most of his time in the Golden Garden.
In addition to sending two bottles of potion to his mentor every month, he would occasionally go to the Purgatory Sulfur Plane during his research breaks to check on the construction team's interim results.
After immersing himself in research for several months, Benjamin devoted himself to it and even forgot the passage of time in the outside world.
Until one day, he suddenly received a contact from Amy and Victor.
On the magic network terminal, the projections of Amy and Victor appeared in front of him respectively.
Both of them had excitement and nervousness on their faces.
"Jeremy! You're staying in the lab again!" Amy's voice sounded much more stable.
"What happened? How could you two contact me at the same time?" Benjamin was a little confused.
"We are fully prepared," Victor said, his tone heavy. "After nearly a year of preparation, we have decided to launch the next Planar War."
One year!
Benjamin's heart moved.
He realized that so much time had passed since he was immersed in research.
"Are we in such a hurry to start the next plane war?" Benjamin couldn't help but frowned.
After each plane war, the workshop gives a rest period of six months to five years. Although it can be adjusted freely, in Benjamin's opinion, it is too hasty to want to fully study a plane in five years.
What's more, Amy and Victor have only been on break for a year.
Amy sighed, her eyes filled with envy. "You're so lucky, Ben. Unlike us, when we reach a bottleneck in research, we have to go to the battlefield to find a breakthrough. Is this what genius is... I'm really envious and a little jealous."
"It's not necessary to say that..." Benjamin was a little confused.
Victor also nodded: "Yes, like you, it means that you are still in a stage of rapid development. How can we not envy you."
They said it very sincerely.
The path of a wizard is not always smooth.
When research reaches a bottleneck and cannot be improved through meditation and experimentation, many wizards will choose to go to the battlefield, go through life and death trials, or look for more resources to seek new breakthroughs.
From a certain perspective, whether a wizard can continue to study can also show the quality of his qualifications.
Only wizards with extraordinary talents and endless inspiration can immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge and enjoy pure improvement.
"We've been considered among the first-level wizards to have taken a long time to recuperate. Those combat wizards left even earlier... Do you remember Augusta?" Amy suddenly mentioned a name. "It's said that after completing the minimum six-month rest period, she rushed to join a new battlefield and simply couldn't bear to stay in the academy."
Benjamin nodded. He was deeply impressed by the girl Augusta.
"I remember she was very talented..."
"She just has a high talent for meditation. She has low talent on the path of a wizard. Being a combat-type does suit her characteristics." Amy teased with a smile.
A few of them took the opportunity to chat for a while, but not much was said.
For wizards, this kind of thing is already familiar to them.
"Take care." Benjamin said to the two of them.
"Don't worry, we won't die easily!" Amy patted her chest.
"When your plane is built, remember to invite us to visit your plane." Victor also said with a smile.
After saying goodbye to the two people, the projection on the magic network terminal disappeared, and Jemin fell into deep thought again.
Amy and Victor's words suddenly reminded him of something else.
He has indeed been immersed in research and making rapid progress on the road of knowledge.
But if a wizard wants to increase his power, it is not limited to research.
After thinking about it, Benjamin decided to add a topic to improve his combat effectiveness in his next research plan.
"Improve combat effectiveness..." Benjamin whispered to himself, his eyes cast on the talismanic magic weapon in the center of the laboratory.
He sat in a high-back chair, his fingertips tapping lightly on the edge of the table, his thoughts surging like a tide as he comprehensively sorted out and evaluated his combat system.
Generally speaking, as a wizard, the core of his combat effectiveness is undoubtedly the quantity and quality of the witchcraft models constructed in his spiritual sea.
Every independently constructed witchcraft model is equivalent to adding a talent ability to the wizard.
The most direct and effective way for a wizard to improve his combat effectiveness is to continuously learn and analyze, and ultimately independently construct a new and more powerful witchcraft model.
The more offensive witchcraft you master and the more methods you have, the stronger your ability to deal with various situations will naturally be.
However, Benjamin's situation is somewhat special.
After he possessed a special magical weapon like the Talisman Magical Weapon, simply adding an offensive witchcraft model seemed a bit redundant.
In other words, the benefits are not as high as other aspects.
Moreover, at this stage, the three major witchcrafts in his spiritual sea are all auxiliary types. Coupled with the diversity of talismans and witchcraft tools, he basically has no shortage of means to fight the enemy.
Instead of blindly pursuing quantity, it is better to invest energy in more groundbreaking areas.
After thinking for a while, Benjamin cast his eyes on the metal disc on the table.
That was the elemental storage talisman magic weapon he had recently modified.
"Given the characteristics of talismanic sorcerers, there are two possibilities for an enemy that can't be killed even after expending all of its reserved elemental power: either it's too fast to hit, or it's simply unable to attack in the first place."
As for the possibility that the enemy is much stronger than oneself and cannot be killed, this possibility is simply ignored, because when encountering such an enemy, the first thought should be how to save one's life.
The former type of enemy can be strengthened by using acceleration talismans and magical devices, while the latter type is most likely caused by encountering special situations such as the forbidden magic field.
"Huh?"
Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly remembered that his elemental storage talisman magic weapon would also cause magic prohibition during the recharging process.
"So... in order to make up for my weaknesses, I need to improve my combat effectiveness in a magic-forbidden environment. It seems that I need to strengthen my body as a last resort." A look of understanding flashed in Benjamin's eyes.
This is not the mainstream path of a wizard, but for him, it is an extremely necessary supplement.
There are actually some misunderstandings about the physical strength of wizards.
Many mortal legends believe that wizards are just "fragile mages" who hide in the back and cast spells. Some wizards themselves do not even pay attention to physical improvement during the practice process.
But this is not the case, and the wizard's physical fitness is not as weak as imagined.
In the process of absorbing elemental power and strengthening mental strength through meditation, the wizard's body will unconsciously be tempered by the elemental power and gradually become stronger.
This enhancement is subtle. Although wizards do not have explosive muscles and steel bones like warriors, their physiques are generally much stronger than ordinary mortals and their resistance is also higher.
Moreover, the wizarding world also has no shortage of witchcraft that can enhance physical fitness. Although these witchcraft are not as dazzling as elemental attack witchcraft, they can work wonders in certain circumstances.
Even if necessary, wizards can undergo body modification surgery to obtain a stronger body.
Wizards have a much deeper understanding of life than ordinary people. They can use alchemy, blood magic, bio-transformation surgery, and even direct rune engraving to transform their own bodies.
In pursuit of ultimate power, some wizards even transform themselves beyond recognition, completely abandoning their mortal form and becoming half-human, half-beast monsters.
But what it brings is extremely powerful physical strength, and it can even defeat creatures of a higher level than itself with pure physical strength.
However, despite these means, most wizards still do not care about physical strength. In fact, many potions themselves gain stronger spiritual power by invading the body.
This was determined by the very nature of a wizard's power. A wizard's strength came from their masterful use of every elemental force, their understanding of various knowledge allowing them to unleash terrifying power ten or even a hundred times greater than the raw elemental force.
Physical strength is linear. The maximum strength that can be unleashed is limited to the strength of the body itself, and there is almost no "amplification" to speak of.
But on the other hand, strengthening the body has another advantage compared to strengthening mental strength: there is almost no bottleneck in strengthening the body.
The improvement of mental strength and soul is subject to multiple restrictions such as talent, understanding, and resources. The later the stage, the more difficult each step becomes.
Although physical enhancement has its limits, generally speaking, as long as there are sufficient resources and appropriate methods, it can be continuously improved to a very astonishing level.
It is a path of "hard work can make up for lack of talent". Although the upper limit is not as high as elemental power, it is more stable and controllable.
Therefore, as a supplementary means, the wizarding world also has many ways to improve physical strength.
Wizards have also studied the extraordinary powers of other dimensions and developed many body-strengthening techniques unique to wizards, and even special training methods.
These techniques often combine the body-refining methods of other dimensions, blood curses, and even the power of the remains of gods, forming a unique wizard body-refining system.
Thinking of this, Jemin no longer hesitated and directly opened the magic network terminal and began to search for relevant technologies in the huge knowledge base of Noren Workshop.
