This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 37: Everything except the ecology is an anchor!

The Necromancer's Tower, second basement level.

In a meditation spot in the corner of the house.

Tucker can quickly recover by drawing energy from the [Original Dark Sea].

While a sense of peace settled over me, a touch of joy stirred within me.

"The recovery efficiency of the [Original Dark Sea] is indeed astonishing, almost three or four times that of the Undead Tower."

"At the same time, the source energy is far purer than that of the Undead Tower."

"Before, I thought that if I could carry the energy into the tower and go on an adventure, I wouldn't lack energy."

"Now, being immersed in the [Original Dark Sea] all the time is more effective than carrying a tall tower."

"When casting spells normally, there's basically no need to worry about running out of energy."

While meditating to recover, Tucker opened the attribute panel.

Let's examine the overall results of this steam tower source pool test.

[Extraordinary Sequence]

Wizard: Level 18.

Origin Dark Sea: Level 18

……

[Extraordinary Talent]

Precision (SSS level): 1020%.

……

[Extraordinary witchcraft/ability]

Polymorph (ability): Level 19.

Touch perception (ability): Level 19.

Light-Sculpting Spear (Two-Star): Level 19.

Bullet Tentacle: Level 19.

Bloodthorn Vine: Level 19.

Source Scale Shield: Level 19.

Oil spell: Level 19.

Speed Boost: Level 19.

…………

This baptism allowed Tucker to accumulate a large amount of source energy experience.

The battle that follows may not be easy.

Tucker naturally raised all his sorcery abilities to the peak of the first tier.

The Origin Dark Sea.

Tucker's original plan was to upgrade it to the second level.

In this way, he would be able to control the source energy with more powerful extraordinary characteristics in advance.

but.

Back at the Tower of the Dead, as Tucker upgraded the [Dark Sea of Source Energy], he realized that his "Wizard Ecosystem" seemed to be nearing its limit.

After carefully reviewing the situation, Tucker discovered the problem.

That is!

I improved too quickly.

The Wizard Tree and the ecosystem it maintains did not have enough time to adapt, consolidate, and reach a stable balance.

Everything in an ecosystem needs time to adjust and integrate.

Even Tucker's system upgrade was the same.

Moreover, after being baptized by the Source Pool, it needs to absorb, digest, and settle for a period of time.

After figuring all of this out.

Tucker did not force a level increase.

Instead, the level of [Dark Sea of Source Energy] was set at the same level as that of a wizard.

After examining the sorcery, abilities, and one's own level.

Tucker focused his gaze on the extraordinary talent [Precision Correction].

"It seems like we're starting to hit the ceiling," Tucker mused to himself.

After the extraordinary talent was increased to 1000%.

Tucker still has quite a few fragments.

After returning, Tucker continued to improve.

But at this point, the system issued a notification.

A talent boost of over 1000% requires 2 fragments to achieve a 1% increase.

In other words, an improvement of 1000% or more in extraordinary talent value represents a completely new level.

This can also be glimpsed in the transformation of extraordinary talent from [Precision] to [Precision·Correction].

Tucker's percentage increased from 1000% to 1020%.

After discovering that the improvement was minimal, or even nonexistent, they found that the effect was negligible.

Clearly, the characteristics of [correction] are beyond the reach of a first-tier wizard.

1000%, that's the ceiling Tucker can reach.

And that is enough.

I carefully savored this baptism and the slight improvement that followed.

Tucker let out a soft breath.

He took out the "Ash Clock" from the inner pocket of his wizard's robe.

The scale above is approaching the intersection of the gray date and the gray night period.

"It's about time; it's about time to upgrade from slingshots to cannons."

Immediately, Tucker stood up and walked towards the floor above the Tower of the Dead, where Lord Aubrey was located.

The more than 600 magic coins that were prepared earlier are now going to come into play.

…………

Inside the dimly lit, silent house.

Orb put down the old book he was holding.

He scrutinized Tucker, who was visiting.

After a moment, he nodded cautiously, and his hoarse voice rang out.

"Not bad, your leveling speed is much faster than I expected."

"Amanti also had a pretty good harvest."

"It seems this baptism was very effective."

"However, leveling up too quickly will destabilize your Wizard Tree and cause an imbalance in its ecosystem."

"Yes!" Tucker nodded cautiously.

As a highly experienced necromancer, Aubrey's expertise in the realm of supernatural ecology is undeniable.

"time!"

Aubry offered a solution.

"It can effectively integrate the wizarding ecosystem and bring it to a stable state."

"But stability alone is not enough."

For example…

Aubrey closed the book in his hands, his slightly withered fingers supporting the entire book.

"call……"

Aubrey blew gently.

"Snap!"

The book fell onto the desk.

Then, Aubrey picked up the book again and propped it up with three fingers.

This time, when the whistle blew again, the books came to a steady, resounding stop.

"Did you see that?" Aubrey asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, I saw it!"

Tucker nodded.

"Triangles are stable!"

Aubrey's eye twitched, and he took a deep breath.

He spoke in a low, slightly stern tone.

"It's about balance!"

"It's a delicate balance versus a stable balance!"

"A living organism is an ecosystem."

"Your wizarding sequence is also an ecosystem."

"When you break through to a higher level, the extraordinary characteristics from outside enter your own sequence ecosystem, which is equivalent to a biological invasion."

"If your ecosystem remains stable in a fragile balance."

"Even ordinary extraordinary characteristics can cause one's extraordinary sequence to collapse."

"At best, the breakthrough will fail and the level will regress."

"In severe cases, the situation could spiral out of control on the spot, causing the sequence to collapse."

"I'm sure you've seen plenty of cases where things get out of control."

Tucker nodded.

"But if your ecosystem is as stable as the earth."

"Ordinary characteristics will come in and be absorbed and digested by you in the future, just like eating and drinking water."

"Only at this point will you be qualified to absorb elite-level materials, leader-level materials, and even astonishing lord-level materials."

"Only then will you be qualified to become a great wizard."

"And now..."

Aubrey's tone gradually softened.

"Thanks to your rapid level increase."

"Your wizarding ecosystem... is as fragile as a sheet of paper!"

"Yes! I can feel it."

Tucker offered no explanation.

After all, Tucker had just felt that his wizarding ecosystem was nearing its limit.

"We wizards possess the ability to explore the essence of sequence ecology."

"The stability of the sequence is what we wizards strive for."

"Only in this way can we see higher and go further."

"I understand, teacher."

Tucker nodded.

"I don't plan to level up any further."

"Instead, it will absorb and grow the characteristics of the Wizard Tree itself and the characteristics of the wizarding ecosystem, while seeking more anchors to make my wizarding ecosystem more stable."

"Ideally, it should reach a point where everything except the ecosystem is an anchor."

Although Aubrey did not formally recruit Tucker as an apprentice.

But he was indeed Tucker's mentor.

Tucker understood what he should do.

Aubrey then nodded slightly.

"Right now, Ramor is not safe. Raising his level will strengthen his ability to protect himself."

"So, what's the matter that you've called me this time?"

Old ginger is spicier.

Aubrey already knew what Tucker was there for.

Tucker stepped forward and handed over the parchment he had prepared beforehand.

Aubrey's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing this.

"What's this kid up to?"
