Wizards begin with Occlumency.

It takes time for a new technology to go from its emergence to its perfection.

Link's successful transplantation of the four transplanted physical talents back into Loken's body, marking a success, does not mean that the concept of "constructs" has been fully realized.

His so-called success was actually simply the completion of the four key steps to realize the "construct" concept: carrier prefabrication, innate/magical ability carrying, connection/recording, and fusion, thus eliminating the major obstacles to realizing the concept.

Further experiments, data collection, and process optimization are needed before the final design can be finalized and widely rolled out.

Then, depending on the promotion and the results achieved, it will be determined whether "Construct Wizard" qualifies as a completely new wizarding school.

Or, taking a step further, could "Constructs" become an important and priority option for low-level wizards with low aptitude and little room for advancement, thus improving their immediate combat power?

This led to the creation of a completely new profession, the Constructor, similar to apothecaries and alchemists.

Sage Celine was well aware of this, so after watching Loken's demonstration, she approached Link and suggested, "How about you take charge of the research group's collaboration with the Paro Sage Legion on the 'Empowerment' potion project? You can use this opportunity to conduct some experiments, collect data, and refine the plan."

"Yes, thank you, Wizard Celine."

Link agreed without hesitation.

This is a good thing, and it's the opportunity Link needs most to perfect his "construct" concept.

"Okay, Renee will tell you the details. She will be in charge of liaising with the Paro Sage Legion from now on."

After Sage Celine finished speaking, she left the third basement level and headed towards her office on the top floor.

Today, at Renee's urging, I agreed to go to the fairy world, and upon returning, I learned what had happened to Loken.

Sage Celine's feelings were truly complicated, and she needed to be alone for a while.

Since Salia's identity, strength, and level were not equal to the contact person of the Paro Sage Legion, Renee was put in charge of contacting the Paro Sage Legion instead.

Then let Renee, who happens to have something to discuss with Link, have a detailed talk.

"Come on, let's go to your office and have a chat."

Renee said this, her plan was quite clever; she wanted to follow Asander's example and, after finishing her business, casually take a box of top-quality tea with her.

"Can."

Link didn't care about Renee's plans; in fact, he warmly welcomed them and readily agreed.

Since Flandre's efforts have been made to continuously promote post-disaster reconstruction in "Little World", the ecological environment has greatly improved, making it possible to plant more and better tea trees.

Link is releasing more and better tea to the outside world in various ways.

This can be considered an effective use of resources.

It helps expand one's network and also promotes tea.

Fashion trends always blow from the top down.

As more and more high-ranking wizards began to drink tea, especially after Dean Forrest repeatedly used the finest tea leaves sent by Link to entertain distinguished guests, tea and tea drinks became incredibly popular throughout the entire Rivosos region.

It can satisfy your cravings and has an effect comparable to many medicines.

Why make things difficult for yourself when you're using the same magic stones?

The tea beverage line has even become the biggest source of revenue for Grand Pharmacy!

The current flow of magic stones created is even larger than that of several high-level potions that use standard level 2 magic stones as the unit of calculation.

Every day, the tea and tea products flowing from Grand Pharmacy to the South and West districts, in their packaging boxes, could circle the city of Rivossos several times over.

In the West District, some people are also involved in the smuggling of tea drinks and tea leaves, buying them at low or no price and then transporting them to the nearby Shadow City and Mesopotamia districts to profit from the price difference.

Jasmine is already preparing to open a tea shop and a branch of Grand Pharmacy specializing in tea drinks in the East District.

Then auction off the distribution rights in the southern region, or recruit a few franchisees, focusing on low-end tea drinks and supplementing them with a few popular mid-range tea drinks.

They also plan to find several powerful black glove organizations in the West District and supply them with smuggled goods.

The goal of doing this is not to seek profit, but to quickly seize the market and build brand power.

After all, several families and organizations have already tried to align their tea and beverage offerings with those of Styleland Pharmacy.

In addition, this may also help to ease the hostility caused by the recent infiltration of "Freedom to Do Anything" in the West District.

A bustling world, a place of comings and goings for profit, the martial arts world is more than just fighting and killing.

Most importantly, and also Jasmine's most carefully considered plan, is to open a high-end club in the North District, with the main service being tea gatherings.

The plan to open a high-end club will not be officially launched in the short term; Asander will continue to do preliminary preparations.

This matter must be handled gradually; it cannot be rushed or done too quickly.

In Link's words, you can't take too big a step, or you'll tear your balls.

The two arrived at Link's office, where Jasmine was boiling water to make tea.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Renee's attitude towards Jasmine has always been somewhat sarcastic because of her sister Iris.

"What a coincidence! I was waiting for you on purpose."

Jasmine responded directly to the indirect and honestly to the sarcastic remarks, without indulging Renee. "I was thinking that you'd probably talk to Link when you get back, so I'm preparing in advance. I'll also be there to listen in, so that no one will talk badly about me behind my back."

"Ahem... Let's get down to business."

Link cleared his throat, interrupting the spellcasting.

Otherwise, these two could keep arguing forever.

It's unclear why Renee, who appears so demure, has such a drastic personality.

Seeing this, Jasmine quietly stopped talking and served the tea.

Renee, showing the same courtesy, sipped a small cup of clear tea and said, "There's not much to say about the project. You're very familiar with the Paro Sage Legion. Just work on the plan today, and then go over to explain it when you have time tomorrow. After that, conduct a few training sessions and keep an eye on the progress. I mainly wanted to talk to you about two personal matters."

After a pause, Renee said sincerely, "The first thing is to thank you for providing Asander with this opportunity. The second thing is to invite you and Jasmine to my wedding with Asander."

"No need to thank me."

Link waved his hand, "It's all because Asander is so capable. As for the wedding, if the academy approves my leave, I will definitely attend. If they don't, I can only send a gift to express my feelings."

"Um."

Renee nodded in understanding.

She had also studied at the main campus of the academy and was familiar with the academy's management system for resident wizards.

It is extremely difficult to return to one's home country in less than two years.

The extracurricular activities that need to be completed every two months are all conducted in another world.

Such is the objective situation, and we must be understanding.

After enjoying another cup of tea and taking a box of tea leaves, Renee left briskly.

In the office, Link and Jasmine sat quietly facing each other, finishing their pot of tea.

Jasmine had just asked, "Is the 'Construct' design progressing smoothly?"

"Um."

Link replied truthfully, "The major obstacles have been cleared; all we need to do now is continue to refine it."

"That's precisely where the difficulty lies."

Jasmine pouted. "I don't know where you get all these wonderful ideas. Now, this new idea is going to take up a lot of my energy and time."

Link paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, we can't let it affect the established study plan."

To be honest, Link has already perfected his time management.

The energy and time available to advance the "construction" concept are not plentiful.

Therefore, when Sage Serenity assigned Link to lead the collaboration between the Pharmacy teaching and research group and the "Empowerment" potion project of the Paro Sage Legion, it was not to give Link an extra job, but rather to provide him with convenience.

If one person's energy and time are limited, then find a team to share the burden.

The nearly twenty pharmacists in the Palo Sage Legion's medical department, while lacking in innovation, are perfectly capable of carrying out the tasks assigned by Link.

Link only needs to provide initial training, teaching pharmacists the four steps of "construction," and then coordinate the overall situation, grasping the general direction and progress, without having to do everything himself.

Make the best use of all resources.

After hearing Link's explanation, Jasmine didn't say anything more.

She had just reminded Link to pay attention to his energy and time allocation, for no other reason than that she didn't want Link to be too stressed.

Wizards are human too, and humans get tired!

The next day happened to be Sunday, and there were no classes to attend.

Jasmine went into the laboratory donated by Dean Forrest and busied herself with her research and experiments.

Link, carrying the two plans he had prepared the day before, and together with Wizard Renee, traveled through the interdimensional portal at the academy headquarters, transited through the rear camp of the desolate world, and arrived in the fairy world once again.

The Palo Sage Legion's medical department received the relevant notification yesterday.

Led by the Minister of Health, Wizard Poirot Salosar, the entire group warmly welcomed the arrival of Wizard Link and Wizard Renee.

The wizard Renee and the wizard Salosar had a brief conversation.

The group then went directly to the large conference room of the medical department.

Once everyone was seated, Sage Seren and Sage Paro appeared together and joined the audience.

Link stepped to the podium, nodded to the wizards present, and began to explain the optimization and improvement plan based on the "Empowerment" potion project he had previously led.

This plan, in all respects, can only be considered mediocre, without anything particularly outstanding.

To use a vivid analogy, it's like carving flowers on tofu. No matter how elaborate the carvings are, it's still essentially tofu, not meat.

The reason for this is not that the pharmacy teaching and research group has a problem with its capabilities, but rather that the project itself can only reach this upper limit.

The wizards present, including the Sage Paro, all understood this point.

And they can all accept this.

Nothing more. This cooperation was just a pretext that Sage Paro made up in order to have more contact with Sage Serene.

This is why the Ministry of Health attaches such importance to the optimization and improvement of the "empowering" pharmaceutical project.

After explaining the standard optimization and improvement plan, Link, amidst the slightly surprised gazes of the wizards present, unveiled a brand new project: "The concept of construct wizards/warriors, preliminary research and feasibility promotion plan".

Is Link Grand, who has always been hailed as a genius, coming up with a new idea?

You must listen carefully.

What is a construct?

Facing the gazes of the wizards who suddenly became much more serious, Link spoke eloquently, "Constructs, also known as talent constructs or rune constructs, are a new type of technology that I created myself."

The essence of this technology is similar to "enhancing" potions, which grant the recipient additional talents and witchcraft-like abilities.

Like the "empowering" potion, the "construction" has the potential for standardization and large-scale promotion, as well as private customization.

Compared to the "empowerment" potion project, "construction" has a very significant advantage: it does not occupy the recipient's potential and only requires a certain level of physical or spiritual strength and capacity.

In my vision, constructs can be divided into two types: individual pieces and sets.

The single-item counterpart is a powerful spell that is very effective but scattered and unsystematic;

The set is designed to compete with systematic forms of witchcraft, such as the "Mind" series and "Cognition" series of witchcraft by True Spirit Wizards.

A single item can provide immediate combat capability.

The set provides immediate combat effectiveness, and also offers room for further development.

Sage Paro suddenly interrupted Link's explanation: "So, this is an immature technical solution, right?"

Link thought for a moment and replied, "This is a revolutionary technological solution that would allow the fairy world to unleash combat power comparable to that of a level 5 sage world."

How confident are you that you can perfect this technical solution and make it meet your expectations?

The wise man Paro asked again.

"If you do it, you'll be confident; if you don't do it, you won't be confident."

Link answered again.

"Slippery."

Sage Paro gestured towards Link, then asked seriously, "How will the profits be distributed once the technology matures?"

Even brothers should keep clear accounts.

When it comes to matters of interest, the Sage Paro cannot help but consider them.

The Paro Sage Legion offered the Fairy World and a large number of fairies to Link and Serene Sage's Potion Research Group to experiment with an immature technical solution, which can be considered as an investment!

They are shareholders, not just "suppliers".

Link laughed and said, "This is between you and Sage Celine; there's no need to come to me."

As for the allocation of rights between Link and Celine's Sage Pharmacology Teaching and Research Group regarding the "Construction" concept/plan, it is 60/20/20.

This ratio was set when Sage Celine first established the teaching and research group.

Taking the "Construction" concept as an example, 60% of the rights belong to Link, 20% belong to Sage Seren, and 20% go into the "Options Pool".

Of course, this redistribution was done after the teaching and research group and the Paro Sage Legion had agreed on the distribution of rights.

Link has veto power if he is dissatisfied with the allocation plan.

In this respect, Sage Seren is a good boss!

No wonder so many wizards in the Paro Sage lineage wanted to follow her after she announced her independent development.

"What did you say?"

Sage Paro then glanced at Sage Serene beside him.

"You will be liaising with Wizard Renee. She will have the rights and benefits distribution method approved by our research group to discuss the specifics with you."

Sage Seren refused to step into the "trap" that Sage Link and Sage Paro had dug on the spot.

She did not give the Sage Paro any further opportunity to "harass" her.

Sage Paro inwardly regretted it, but his expression remained unchanged as he smiled and urged, "Let's communicate directly; it'll be more efficient that way."

"No, let's go through the proper procedures."

Sage Celine rolled her eyes slightly.

They talk about serious matters all day long; it doesn't seem like they're genuinely pursuing someone.

Sage Celine simply stood up and walked straight outside. "I have other things to do, so I'll head back first. Renee, Link, you two stay and get your work done."

"I send you."

The Sage Paro didn't know what he had said wrong, so he could only get up and chase after him immediately.

To avoid being unfairly treated, ignored, or treated with mere formalities.

It was so hard to salvage even a little bit!

The meeting room fell silent for a long time; you could hear a pin drop.

Then, suppressed laughter erupted, rising and falling in waves.

Including her best friend, the wizard Renee, everyone lowered their heads and chuckled softly.

Heaven have mercy, even the once arrogant Sage Paro has met his end!

Once the laughter subsided, Link continued to recount his various ideas about "constructs".

For example, the positioning and differences between talent constructs and rune constructs.

The "talent" in the talent construct refers only to the physical talent that can be transplanted or artificially "synthesized," and does not involve the soul.

Suitable for body-refining wizards, or fairies whose abilities and combat styles lean towards the physical body, as well as extraordinary races and professions in other vassal worlds of the wizarding world that primarily rely on physical abilities.

The "runes" in rune construction actually refer to the rune structure, rune array, and rune barrier of the sorcery model.

It is applicable to elemental wizards, true spirit wizards, or fairies whose abilities lean towards the soul and who possess witchcraft-like abilities, as well as other extraordinary races and professions in the wizarding world whose main function is spellcasting.

For example, a single-item concept that has already been completed.

For example, the design of a set based on a tentative concept.

From the wizard Salosar down, everyone in the medical department listened very attentively, feeling their eyes were opened to new knowledge.

"Construction" involves not only potion-making, but also runic literature, alchemy, the study of the body and soul, the nature of witchcraft and witchcraft-like abilities, and so on.

It is a new technology with a very high degree of integration.

Moreover, everyone noticed a word that Link repeatedly mentioned: "construct wizard"!

Their ambitions were laid bare before all the wizards in the conference room.

This is a grand plan to first practice with the fairies of the fairy world, and then gradually transition to the wizards of the wizarding world from other vassal worlds, thereby creating a brand new wizarding school!

By participating in this endeavor, regardless of the final outcome, whether a new school of wizardry is successfully established, or whether its development proceeds smoothly afterward, all of you present here will leave a significant mark on the historical records of the wizarding world.

Thinking of this, the wizards were filled with excitement and eager to get started.

Unfortunately, "construction" is a completely new and unfamiliar technology, and it doesn't even reach the level of a discipline yet.

Everything has to start from scratch.

Link, the proposer, had to carefully sort out his own ideas, establish the overall framework of "construction" science, and then fill in the specific content within it.

Then, he gradually shared the compiled information with the pharmacists from the medical department present.

"Link, have you prepared a reading list?"

After listening to Link's detailed explanation, the Medical Department Minister, Wizard Poirot Salosaar, said, "If you have any, why not release the reference list first? Let's review our knowledge of runic literature, alchemy, and other related subjects. This way, we can reduce some obstacles when we formally study 'Constructs' later."

"have."

Link had anticipated this, given the craftsmanship of the pharmacists in the medical department.

On the huge screen, five rows of 100 references each, totaling 500, immediately appeared.

Link said calmly, "These are the first batch of materials and documents. After reading these, you can roughly start practical exercises."

A collective gasp filled the conference room.

500 references and literature entries is, to be honest, not an excessive number.

None of you here are complete novices; you may already have a lot of knowledge.

The key lies in the word "phase one".

Listen carefully to the implication; this means there are "phase two," "phase three," and "phase four."

Suddenly, the dream of making a name for oneself in history faded considerably.

Or perhaps we should pretend this never happened? (End of Chapter)
