The Wizard of Truth: Starting with Analyzing All Things

Over the next few days, Lowe's life entered a highly efficient and discreet rhythm.

He was no longer the menial laborer who had to painstakingly clean and squeeze materials. With Kyle Greyfeather's tacit approval, or even intentional or unintentional protection, he gained considerable autonomy. Nominally, he was still in charge of the initial processing of materials, but in reality, he spent a lot of time "optimizing" the processing flow.

The Seventh Laboratory is undergoing quiet changes.

The originally murky and foul-smelling sap of the fluorescent moss became clear and its energy stable; the **spike-toothed wild boar tusks** that required repeated polishing to remove impurities could be peeled off with just a few precise taps after Rowe found the weak points in their energy patterns, revealing the core that could be used to make low-level magic conduction mediums; even the fearsome **poisonous mushrooms** could be handled much more safely by Rowe adjusting the humidity of the processing environment and introducing subtle vibrations of a specific frequency (precisely created by [Water Flow Manipulation]), greatly reducing the activity of their spores.

Efficiency has led to increased output and a leap in quality.

Kyle's submitted materials always received high praise from the deacon's office, earning him a small bonus of magic stones. He also kept his promise, elevating Rowe's meals to the "Contribution Apprentice" standard—no longer just black bread and water, but including meat, vegetables, and a type of **grain porridge** that could slightly nourish the spirit.

All of this caused Kyle's gaze towards Rowe to shift from initial scrutiny to satisfaction and a hint of barely perceptible dependence. As long as Rowe could continue to bring benefits, he was happy to protect him.

Luo Wei, on the other hand, thrived in this seemingly arduous work.

**[Database Update: Ironthorn Structural Model (Optimized Logging Plan) has been entered.]**

**[Database Update: The energy pattern diagram of the tusks of the Spiny-Toothed Boar has been entered.]**

**[Database Update: The inhibitory protocol for *Vibrio vulgaris* spore activity has been added.]**

**[WARNING: Accumulation of 'Inert Shadow Particles' detected. Current ambient concentration: 0.7 standard units (below the safety threshold).]**

Every day, the database of the Book of Truth expands rapidly. These seemingly low-level magical materials, with their internal structures and energy flow patterns, have become valuable samples for Luo Wei to understand the underlying rules of this world. He has even begun to try some simple "synthesis experiments".

For example, he mixed the purified fluorescent moss juice with a small amount of processed ironthorn powder containing a trace of earth energy, and then baked it at a low temperature using a precisely controlled [Miniature Blazing Flame] technique.

**[Attempt to synthesize: Basic energy composite material…]**

**[Analysis of component compatibility...]**

**[Optimize reaction conditions...]**

**[Synthesis Successful! Obtained: 'Inferior Energy Paste' (Estimated Energy Unit: 0.05 Standard Magic Stones)]**

It worked!

Looking at the small lump of paste in his hand, emitting a mixed glow and resembling cheap jelly, Luo Wei's eyes flashed with excitement. Although the energy was pitifully small and the purity extremely low, it meant a completely new path—**reconstructing useless or inefficient materials into usable energy sources!**

This is far more significant than simply improving processing efficiency.

He swallowed the "energy paste." A faint but real warm current spread through his body, quickly absorbed by his highly efficient meditation technique. The effect was far inferior to that of magic stones, but its advantage lay in the fact that the material cost was almost zero.

"If we can optimize the formula and process, perhaps we can create energy blocks comparable to low-grade magic stones..." A grand blueprint began to take shape in his mind. This was not wishful thinking; as long as enough materials were analyzed and the optimal energy combination and activation method were found, the [Book of Truth] was fully capable of doing so.

That afternoon, an uninvited guest arrived at the laboratory.

He was a young man dressed in an elegant blue robe, the cuffs embroidered with the cross-shaped emblem of test tubes and leaves, representing "Pharmacy." He exuded arrogance, his eyes carrying a condescending, scrutinizing air. His mental energy fluctuations were slightly stronger than Kyle's, approaching the peak of a mid-level apprentice.

"Kyle, your Seventh Laboratory must double its share of 'Pure Dew' this month," the blue-robed youth commanded Kyle directly, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Master Field's new experiment has reached a critical stage and requires a large quantity of high-quality solvent."

Kyle looked troubled: "Miss Tina, it's not that we're unwilling, but collecting and purifying the 'pure dew from the Moonlight Rose' is extremely time-consuming and requires a high level of mental strength from the collectors. We don't have the manpower here..."

"That's your problem." The blue-robed youth known as Tina (Love noticed that although he had a female name, his behavior was more masculine, perhaps due to family or personal preference) coldly interrupted, "If you delay Master Field's experiment, none of you in the Seventh Laboratory can afford to take the blame."

The atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly became tense. The thin boy and the silent girl both stopped what they were doing and lowered their heads anxiously.

**Pure Dew** is not ordinary morning dew, but rather dew that must be carefully collected using mental power from the petals of a magical plant called **Moonlight Rose** on a specific night (ideally a night with two moons shining). It must be completely free of any dust or life force. It is an indispensable solvent for certain low-level potions, and the purification process is extremely complex.

The silent girl was previously in charge of this work in the Seventh Laboratory. She had decent mental strength, but her efficiency was very low. It was already difficult for her to barely complete the quota, let alone double it.

Beads of sweat appeared on Kyle's forehead. He dared not offend the potion apprentice, especially since a formal wizard (Master Field) was standing behind him.

Just then, Luo Wei put down the strange ore he was studying and walked over.

"Senior Kyle, perhaps I can give it a try," Rowe said calmly, breaking the deadlock.

All eyes immediately turned to him.

Tina raised an eyebrow, sizing up the simply dressed but unusually calm-eyed stranger: "You? A novice apprentice? Do you even know the standards for collecting pure dew?"

"I know a little," Luo Wei said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "The key lies in the stability of one's mental energy and the precise perception and control of water elements and moonlight energy. Rough contact with mental energy will contaminate the dew."

A hint of surprise flashed in Tina's eyes. Luo Wei's words hit the nail on the head; this wasn't something an ordinary handyman would say. "Well said, but not many people can actually do it."

"I can give it a try," Luo Wei repeated, his tone carrying an undeniable confidence. "If I fail, I'm willing to take full responsibility. If I succeed, I hope Senior Tina can explain to the Deacon that this is the result of our Seventh Laboratory's joint efforts."

He said this not only to Tina, but also to Kyle. This demonstrated his ability while attributing credit to the group, thus solidifying his alliance with Kyle.

Kyle immediately understood what Rowe meant and quickly chimed in, "Senior Tina, Rowe does indeed have some unique talent in materials processing. Why don't we let him give it a try?"

Tina hesitated for a moment, realizing she didn't have a better solution at the moment. "Fine, I'll give you that chance. Tomorrow morning, I want to see double the amount of pure dew that meets the required quality. Otherwise..." He snorted coldly, leaving his words unfinished, but the threat was clear, before turning and leaving.

After Tina left, Kyle breathed a sigh of relief and patted Rowe on the shoulder gratefully: "Rove, this time it all depends on you! That Tina is Master Field's disciple, and she's notoriously difficult to deal with."

The silent girl also raised her head, her gaze towards Luo Wei now filled with curiosity and...worry. She knew all too well the difficulty of this task.

Lowell simply nodded: "I need the most detailed information about Moonlight Rose and Pure Dew, including their growing environment, characteristics, and problems encountered during previous collections."

He has the Book of Truth, but he needs basic "input" information.

Kyle immediately led him to a locked cabinet in the laboratory, which contained some basic magical plant illustrations and material processing manuals. "It's all here, feel free to look around!"

Luo Wei picked up the thick book, "Guide to Cultivating Moonlight Roses and Collecting Dew," and his consciousness sank into his sea of ​​knowledge.

"Analysis Objective: 'Guide to Cultivating Moonlight Rose and Collecting Dew' and related knowledge."

The pages flipped rapidly, a vast amount of information being scanned, entered, and analyzed. At the same time, he recalled the characteristics of the silent girl's mental energy fluctuations and the reasons for her previous failures during her work.

**[Analysis complete.]**

**[Target: Pure Moonlight Rose Dew]**

**[Core Requirement: Maintain the stable symbiotic structure of 'moonlight imprint' and 'plant life essence' within the dew, and prevent external damage.]**

**[Drawbacks of traditional collection methods: The intervention of mental energy is too direct, easily causing structural tremors.]**

**[Optimized Solution: Construct a 'dual-layer buffer force field.' The inner layer is a 'micro-cleansing force field' to maintain the purity of the dew; the outer layer is an 'inducing force field' that simulates the energy field of the moon rose itself, soothing and guiding the dew to naturally detach.]**

**[This requires precise operation by combining 'water flow manipulation' with the optimized 'lighting spell' (simulating moonlight).]**

A completely new and revolutionary solution, which overturns traditional data collection methods, quickly took shape under the deduction of the Book of Truth.

The next day, before dawn, Rowe had already arrived at the designated Moonlight Rose Garden inside the castle.

Unlike the others, who approached cautiously with crystal bottles and special silver spoons, he simply stood quietly at the edge of the flowerbed, closed his eyes, and let his spiritual power, like the most delicate sensor, spread out and enveloped several moon roses adorned with glistening dewdrops.

Then, he began the operation.

An invisible force field quietly unfolded, simulating the tranquil and cool energy fluctuations of the Moonlight Rose. The dewdrops hanging on the edges of the petals, about to drip, seemed to be gently lifted by a tender force, and then flowed precisely into the crystal bottle he had prepared beforehand through an invisible energy channel.

The entire process was seamless and effortless, without a trace of artificiality. The moonlight imprint and essence of life within the dewdrop were perfectly preserved, even exceeding the required purity!

As the first rays of sunlight dispelled the darkness, four large bottles of pure dew, radiating a soft, moon-white glow, were placed before Luo Wei, far exceeding the double amount Tina had requested.

Tina, who arrived on time, was utterly shocked as she looked at the extremely high quality dew, which even slightly exceeded the standard. She picked up a bottle and carefully sensed the stable and abundant energy within it, speechless for a long time.

He gave Luo Wei a deep look, his eyes filled with a complex mix of surprise, curiosity, and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.

"You... did a great job." Tina's tone softened considerably. "I will explain the Seventh Laboratory's contributions to the Deacon."

He wiped away the dew, said nothing more, and turned to leave, but Rowe knew that he had attracted the attention of this potion apprentice, and even the "Master Field" behind him.

Risks and opportunities coexist.

Luo Wei watched Tina's departing figure, his heart calm. He needed more resources and more advanced knowledge, and demonstrating "value" was the fastest way to acquire them. Of course, he had to carefully control the scale of his "value" and not reveal the core secrets of the Book of Truth too early.

Back in the lab, Kyle excitedly told him that the deacon not only praised the Seventh Lab, but also awarded it two low-grade magic stones as an extra reward!

"Love, this is yours!" Kyle handed a magic stone to Love, his attitude even more enthusiastic than before.

Luo Wei accepted the magic stone without hesitation. He could sense that the other two people in the laboratory were also looking at him with awe.

He used his abilities to establish initial authority in this small seventh laboratory, and his "energy reconstruction" plan has only just begun.
