Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

The information in the text box in front of you is automatically deduced and analyzed by the "Honeycomb" system, an intelligent assistant in the California Institute of Technology laboratory in your previous life.

The Hive system is an artificial intelligence system that was originally developed in the laboratory by the computer department.

Responsible for assisting in the management of the engineering college's laboratories, as well as monitoring the data and indicators of the experimental equipment.

Perhaps because in a previous life in a laboratory, the [Honeycomb] AI constantly monitored the fruit fly breeding environment, recording data 24 hours a day.

So, in that explosion in the laboratory, he was transported to the wizarding world along with three basic fruit flies.

And it is bound to one's own consciousness and mind.

Now, based on its current environment and situation, the [Hive] assistant is suggesting that the first thing it should do is to breed the three experimental fruit flies to increase the number of experimental organisms.

Furthermore, suggestions were given for the next experimental direction: establishing a [honeycomb core].

Using the current fruit fly organism as an anchor, we monitor the dynamic changes in various body attributes of fruit flies.

Analyze data on matter, energy, information, and ecological niches in the current dimension to establish a biological database.

By comparing the current world with the biological data of the previous Earth in the 21st century, specific experimental suggestions can be given.

"Since it's for breeding fruit flies, it needs a decaying environment."

"I just wonder if the rotting environment where fruit flies were raised in the laboratory in my past life is the same as the wizarding world where extraordinary powers exist..."

Wayne pondered.

The influence of supernatural forces can cause even the most ordinary fungi to mutate, resulting in unpredictable changes in the decay process.

For a rigorous experimental researcher, what they need now is the "rulebook" of this world.

So, Wayne decided to go to the Wizard Tower's library to look up some relevant information.

After becoming a wizard apprentice at the Natural Symbiosis Wizard Tower, I have gained access to the library.

Unlike other wizard towers, the library of the Natural Symbiosis Wizard Tower is not located at the top or in the core, but is hidden deep in the underground space of the wizard tower.

Soon, along the spiraling stone steps downwards.

Wayne arrived at the entrance to the library of the Natural Symbiotic Wizard Tower, where a large door entirely woven from dark brown, gnarled vines appeared before him.

In the center, there is a conspicuous indentation, the shape of which seems to be exactly the same as the apprentice's name tag, with a faint green glow flowing around the edges.

So Wayne wiped the transparent slime off the apprentice badge that the tentacle monster Pok had just spat out to him with his sleeve.

Press the apprentice badge into the recessed area of ​​the library door.

And then, buzz—!

The vine-covered door seemed to come alive, wriggling slightly as it slid open to the sides, revealing the interior of the library.

Countless thick, sturdy fungal columns, emitting a soft, milky-white fluorescent light, rose from the ground, supporting the dome above, which was filled with a pale green aura.

The so-called "bookshelf" is composed of layers of thick, fleshy gills that grow naturally on the fungal column, and flexible, aerial root-like vines that hang down from the dome.

The light inside the library mainly comes from bioluminescent fungi, mosses, and buoyant organisms that float in mid-air, glowing like jellyfish.

Next, Wayne's gaze swept over the thick books on the library shelves:

"Toxicity Map of the Humus Layer in the Black Forest", "Study on the Microbial Ecology Derived After the Demise of the Undead", "How to Efficiently Prepare Sterile Humus Using Corpse Ivy"...

Twenty minutes later.

Wayne found this in a book called "Cultivation Mechanisms in Humus Ecosystems".

"Is the most suitable culture medium for flies... rotten yeast solution?"

Wayne frowned slightly upon seeing the contents of the book.

Hmm... in this respect, it's not much different from when we were cultivating and breeding fruit flies on Earth in my previous life.

However, the required materials differ.

"The ingredients needed for this rotten yeast liquid are: black bread crumbs, rotten giant rat liver powder, and a suspension of rotten star grass."

"After crushing and mixing them, let them stand in an eco-bottle for 3 days to complete the process."

After closing the book, Wayne's eyes flickered.

"It seems I need to make a trip into the Black Forest outside the Wizard's Tower..."

The Black Forest is a vast primeval forest surrounding the academy, located outside the territory of the wizarding organization known as the "Black Forest City".

The name of this wizarding organization, "Black Forest City," actually comes from this.

The Black Forest contains a variety of experimental materials, such as fluorite, different types of plants and animals, and humus.

When wizards need experimental materials for their experiments, they often send their apprentice wizards to the Black Forest to collect plants, animals, minerals, and medicinal herbs.

Next, when Wayne returned to the first floor and stepped out of the door of the Natural Symbiotic Wizard Tower...

At the entrance to the wizard's tower, several knights in armor, with standard silver cross swords hanging from their waists, were on guard.

Upon seeing the apprentice badge on Wayne's chest, they knew that this was a noble wizard... even if he was only an apprentice at the moment.

But who can guarantee that he won't become a full-fledged wizard in the future?

Even the weakest third-class wizard apprentice is still a member of the wizarding class, possessing extraordinary power.

They are not comparable to those knights and guards who live on the edge and only know how to fight.

So now that he saw Wayne come out, he took the initiative to step forward and ask respectfully.

"Sir, is there anything we can do for you?"

"I need to go into the outer reaches of the Black Forest to collect some experimental materials, mainly Rot Star Grass and a relatively fresh, decaying giant rat carcass."

Wayne said.

Why not make use of these knights who are just commoners?

Although the outer areas of the Black Forest are frequented by wizard apprentices who collect experimental materials there year-round.

Furthermore, there are regular patrols by knight guard teams from each wizard tower, so there shouldn't be too much danger.

However, having more people always ensures greater safety... and they can also help you out, right?

"Yes, sir!"

Among this group of knights, the captain was surprisingly a female knight, who answered respectfully.

Her shoulders were straight, her waist was cinched, and her legs beneath her skirt were long and straight.

Her long, golden-red hair, seemingly forged from the afterglow of a setting sun, was neatly braided into a thick plait, hanging down from the front of her right shoulder, the end almost touching her waist.

Next, with a soft "click," the female knight put her helmet on her head.

The helmet had a simple and rustic design, with a nose guard and eye slits, which instantly covered most of her beautiful face.

Wayne had a vague recollection of this female knight captain from the Natural Symbiosis Wizard Tower.

Her name was Isabelle Wright, and she was said to be the daughter of a count from an inland country near the city of the Black Forest.

Later, due to a sudden political storm in the country, the family fell into decline, the family's title was stripped, and relatives were scattered and lost.

She had no choice but to inherit the family's knightly tradition of breathing techniques as a woman, and later she was fortunate enough to serve the "Natural Symbiosis" wizard tower.

With his outstanding breathing techniques and swordsmanship, he became the captain of the guards of the "Natural Symbiosis" Wizard Tower, responsible for patrolling and security in a certain area outside the tower.

Thanks to the "protection" of this position, she was able to protect the last few remaining knightly territories in her family.

He wanted to ensure that his younger siblings would eventually have a place to live and not become homeless.
