Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The next day, Lynn woke up in a cubicle in the laboratory and the first thing she did was find Gregor, who was buried in blueprints and materials.

The old man was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that he had spent several days crafting the Death Knight and needed to be appeased.

"Mentor, regarding the stability issue of 'reverse flow of negative energy into the soul core,' I pondered this all night last night and thought that perhaps we could try adding a 'phase offset buffer rune set' to the energy circuit, like this..."

Lynn picked up a piece of discarded bone and smoothly carved out an intricate complex rune structure.

Gregor was very pleased to hear that Lynn was so concerned about solving his problem.

At first, I thought Lynn's idea was too naive, but as I listened, my cloudy eyes gradually brightened.

He snatched the bone fragment, his fingers flying across it: "Phase shift...buffering...brilliant!"

"While it increases the complexity of the construction, it does significantly reduce the risk of the soul core being overloaded instantly! Kid, what's wrong with your brain?!"

Lynn chuckled. After scanning all the general knowledge on the first floor of the library, his analytical capabilities had become even more powerful.

The solutions provided are no longer overly "idealistic." They can always find some tricky but feasible breakthroughs from seemingly unsolvable problems by using in-depth analysis of the panel.

Gregor was unaware of this.

He only saw that this young apprentice could always find some imaginative yet practical breakthroughs from the problems that had troubled him for a long time.

This made him even more grateful for his seemingly casual decision back then.

Lynn's performance quickly elevated his status in Gregor's eyes from "a somewhat clever dreamer" to "a highly valuable research assistant."

In high spirits, Gregor finally stopped limiting Lynn to the scraps of the [Death Transformation Ritual].

With a wave of his hand, he generously allowed Lynn access to some of his other sealed research notes and results in the lab, ostensibly to "broaden his horizons and inspire more ideas."

Lynn finally had the opportunity to examine the "restricted" knowledge displayed in the laboratory.

With all scanning functions enabled, advanced knowledge books were collected into its own library.

[Energy Loop Overload and Stability Study]

[Negative Energy Particle Inert State Activation Technology]

[Hypothesis on the Reverse Conversion of Multi-Attribute Energy Particles]

[Design of an External Soul Energy Circulation System]

……

This knowledge, after all, was the result of research by formal wizards who had been immersed in it for hundreds of years, and it was a bit too "advanced" for Lynn.

I am just a lowly wizard apprentice, and I am not yet involved in such a deep field.

However, Lynn can choose some branches of this knowledge that are beneficial to him to enrich his own knowledge and improve his strength.

Based on this knowledge, one can also choose appropriate apprentice-level witchcraft or even later "ring"-level witchcraft to develop and enhance one's own abilities.

After recording for about half an hour, seeing that the speed was too slow, Lynn decided to put it aside for the time being.

Since I live in the lab anyway, I can scan during my meditation at night, so it won't interfere with either task.

It's better to do something meaningful during the day.

Today there is a large class for first-class wizard apprentices to advance to second-class, but Lynn had already heard Gregor talk about the key points of the advancement.

Once one's mental strength reaches twenty points and one successfully constructs an apprentice-level spell, one can officially enter the ranks of a second-class wizard apprentice.

His innate spiritual power was much higher than that of other apprentices. This innate spiritual power allowed him to cultivate faster than other apprentices. The higher the innate spiritual power, the higher the meditation efficiency.

Other apprentices, whose spiritual power grows slowly, need to rely on potions or special methods to enhance it (such as fusing with or devouring soul essences, or enduring the mental screams of vengeful spirits to temper their spiritual power, etc.).

However, whether it's through medicine or other means, such methods will cause "mental pollution" to the wizard.

In the early stages, they may make rapid progress due to the rapid growth of their mental strength, but they will be dumbfounded when they are promoted to formal wizards.

Lynn could have completed the apprenticeship without the aid of any medicine.

His innate high mental strength makes his memory and energy more outstanding, and he has a high margin of error when performing operations such as inscribing runes, allowing him to master various kinds of knowledge more quickly.

They have higher resistance to spells such as mental attacks and curses, and are also less susceptible to witchcraft divination.

This advantage will make his wizarding path smoother and easier, and will also provide support for secondary professions such as potions, alchemy, and runes.

Lynn's current focus is on accumulating knowledge and cultivating his skills, aiming to improve his cultivation level first.

As for other "side jobs," they can be put on hold for now and pursued later when there is more time.

...

After leaving the laboratory, Lynn headed straight for the mission hall to continue accumulating resources.

Whether it's accelerating cultivation, conducting research experiments, or advancing to become a formal wizard in the future, the assistance of resources is indispensable.

Upon arriving at the mission hall, Lynn effortlessly began to review the missions.

He specifically selects "knowledge consultation" tasks posted by first and second-class apprentices, with rewards ranging from 5 to 15 contribution points.

The tasks in this area are all level zero magic tricks, which Lynn is confident he can handle.

The risk of failing a task assigned by a third-level apprentice is too high; I will not accept it for the time being.

The process continued from easy to difficult. First, I accepted a task from a first-class female apprentice who was worried about the stability of the [Glimmering Illusion].

The beautiful ghost waitress contacted the quest giver, claiming that the person would be here soon.

A moment later, the two met in the mission lobby.

The female apprentice was slightly taken aback when she saw Lynn, seemingly not expecting that the person who accepted the task was also a first-class apprentice.

"You're so young..."

She showed no disdain whatsoever; on the contrary, she used honorifics, which made her extremely polite.

They then went to a corner of the mission hall with Lynn and took out the witchcraft model that had been drawn in advance.

This version of the sorcery recorded by Lynn is available, so there's no need to get it for free. Moreover, it has been analyzed and optimized, making it much better than the basic version.

By analyzing the female apprentice's rudimentary witchcraft model, Lynn discovered many problems. If all of them could be resolved, the witchcraft could be comprehensively improved.

He only charged for improving stability; other issues were handled through separate fees, so he naturally wouldn't meddle.

"Your problem is that your mental energy output is not smooth enough. Try to imagine your mental energy as a trickle when you are constructing the image outline, instead of gushing out all at once."

Lynn sketched a simple diagram of the flow of spiritual energy on the bone plate.

The female apprentice suddenly understood after seeing this, and tried it according to his method. Sure enough, the illusion she condensed became much more stable.

She gazed at the phantom beside her with delight and exclaimed in sincere admiration:

"Thank you so much! I have never met such a learned first-class apprentice. Your guidance is more helpful than half a month of self-exploration!"

Lynn simply nodded slightly. There was no need for further flattery; he could just honestly pay the contribution points.

The female apprentice was quite honest and went directly to the task window to complete the task.

Soon, the 8 contribution points were credited to my account, and a task completion record was also recorded on the nameplate.

This is much better than jobs like cleaning sewers.

It takes forever to accumulate just one contribution point. How long will it take to save up enough resources for promotion?
