Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat

Fortunately, the law of conservation of energy is explained in detail in *Fundamentals of Material Science*, and it is also one of the rules of the wizarding world. Therefore, there will be no instance of a wizard instantly transforming into a dragon using shapeshifting magic.

Well... at least not in the circle of low-level wizards.

As for high-ranking wizards, it is said that their bodies are massive energy bodies, making it not impossible for them to create the body of a dragon in an instant. For details, you can refer to 3D modeling, but it is much faster than that.

Perhaps believing that Roy, who had studied several books, already possessed a certain level of knowledge, Soraya did not hesitate to spend time explaining things to him.

—The conservation of energy still exists. Otto's bloodline ability, energy consumption reduction, is essentially about improving energy utilization efficiency rather than reducing the total amount consumed.

—When ordinary people exercise, a lot of energy is lost in the form of heat, lactic acid and metabolic waste, and the energy waste rate is about 60%.

Roy knew this. It's fair to say that human energy conversion efficiency is already extremely high, a marvel of nature. Even the machines humans make themselves, such as cars, have an energy waste rate of over 80%.

Of course, this is greatly reduced when switching to electric vehicles, because the losses are mainly concentrated in battery charging and discharging, motor heating and electronic control systems, and there is no large amount of waste heat loss from internal combustion engines.

—Energy consumption reduction involves converting the energy that would otherwise be lost back into usable energy for the body, increasing the effective utilization rate of energy from 40% to over 90%. The same amount of energy can maintain bodily functions for longer, which macroscopically presents the effect of "energy consumption reduction".

Roy finally understood that when Soraya said "locking in most of the energy," she actually meant recycling and reuse.

As she spoke, she suddenly said smugly:

Unfortunately, flesh wizards cannot graft Ottom's organs onto themselves because they are essentially composed entirely of blood. Therefore, unlike us bloodline wizards, flesh wizards cannot simply increase energy consumption efficiency; they can only achieve this through complex modifications to their internal organs. Ultimately, the results are not as good as ours.

"Is this why you chose the bloodline faction?" Roy felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at that face.

How is that possible?

Soraya immediately rejected it.

—I ask you, if you don't have the talent for the gold element, which wizarding path should you take?

"This..." Roy hesitated for a moment before answering, "Bloodline faction, like Karazhan."

- Exactly.

Soraya nodded in agreement.

—You can only follow the faction of the wizard you encounter, because you lack the talent. I was in the same boat. So…

She spread her hands, indicating that she had no choice at all.

—Alright, you've done the poison body tempering and fused with Ottom. Now, it's time for "over-training." Remember, your current physical threshold is ridiculously high, so the training intensity must be extremely high—it'll only be effective if even your current body can't handle it.

Soraya did not continue to give Roy Ottom.

With reduced energy consumption and the ability to replenish a large amount of energy, Roy can train more consistently. However, this is just icing on the cake. The effects of Ottom can be completely replaced by ordinary meals, and eating too much of it can even lead to dependence.

The most crucial factor is that even if Ottom is cheap, it's still bought with magic stones, so it's best to avoid eating it if possible.

Soraya only takes it out once every few months to satisfy her craving.

"Training..." He stroked his chin and walked out of Soraya's hut.

Who would have thought that the training he did in the church, where he relentlessly punched the statue, would be picked up again so long ago, only to be encountered by a wizard?

It's not like we're smashing a statue.

The most important thing right now is to find something with special effects to improve the efficiency of training.

He had been at the manor for nearly four months and had never seen anything like it. There were indeed few special things, but not none at all. The main reason was that he had never paid any attention to them.

Especially on this back mountain, in addition to rocks and dense trees, there are a variety of unique plants, which reminded Roy of the three plants he had collected in Hillna Mountain before, which were of great help to him.

So he searched the mountain for things to train with, and also for usable plants.

It must be said that there are indeed many stones on the mountain. After searching for a while, he found several stones that were as big as the ones blocking the middle of the road in Lanxi Town. Moreover, one of them had special properties!

It can be described as the king of stones born from stones!

Unfortunately, the stone requires a minimum of 12 Strength, which is only suitable for a full-fledged knight, so we'll have to deal with that later.

At the same time, he also discovered a herb that could improve physical constitution, but the herb's effects were limited and could only be effective on individuals with a constitution level below 5.

After a moment's thought, he realized that Karazhan's constitution was just below 5, so he casually uprooted the herbs, preparing to explain how to use them to Karazhan later.

The methods for using these herbs are quite tricky, and it would take forever to figure them out from scratch, which is why they are left to languish in the mountains.

If anyone truly knew their effects, they would have already harvested and bought them up in large quantities; there would be no need to let these herbs grow so abundantly.

He searched the mountain thoroughly, but found no other useful plants besides this herb. It wasn't that there were too few useful plants, but rather that there were too few that were useful to them.

These are all common herbs, and these knights and squires can be considered as trainees of superhuman abilities, so only extraordinary plants can have an effect on them.

Following the mountain path, Roy walked from the top of the mountain to the bottom and finally found a rock that was about the same shape and size.

That stone was much rounder than the others, making it less likely to hurt your hands, and its weight was just right. Crucially, it also had special effects.

Using this stone for weightlifting will grant you strength, while carrying it uphill will grant you both strength and constitution.

If it were Roy before he underwent the poison-based body tempering, he would definitely only be able to do the first training exercise, because carrying a stone up a mountain requires overcoming not only the weight of the stone but also the powerful force of gravity. Perhaps Olivier could have done it.

The poison-based body tempering gave him the means to try it, while Ottom's bloodline ability could help him maintain the training for a longer period of time.

It is clear that Soraya had arranged everything long ago.

Given the meticulousness of her research, she must have combined and analyzed Roy's physique, strength, and many other factors to conclude that he was able to break through to the Knight level within nine months.

Moreover, the effects of True Sight were not within her consideration.

Roy picked up the rock, practiced weightlifting at the foot of the mountain for a while, and then carried the rock back and forth between the foot and the top of the mountain.

He carried the stone back and forth five times. By the time he made his fifth trip down the mountain, his hands and feet felt like they were filled with lead. He could only stagger and put the stone down under a tree. He rubbed his stomach and felt like he could eat a whole cow.

It turns out that the energy consumption reduction couldn't hold on any longer!

It's easy to imagine how terrifying the training he can withstand with his current 6 points of physique.

Behind this hard work lies a real reward. The notification popped up by the Eye of True Sight showed that both Strength and Constitution had jumped by 0.3. Keep in mind, that's 0.3 out of 6 points in the Domain!

"Awesome..." He slowly exhaled, wishing he had an Ottoman right now so he could eat it and get back to work.

This rapid improvement is truly addictive.
