Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 50 Recruitment

Dormitory, study.

Link started making plans as soon as he returned.

We have a laboratory, but we still lack experimental materials, experimental assistants, and experimental plans.

Materials can be purchased from the Life Services Building; it's a familiar process and only costs a few magic stones.

An assistant is readily available; I can just ask Jasmine tomorrow.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jasmine will not refuse Link.

This is such a rare opportunity; others would kill for it.

As for the experimental design, the third set of experiments designed earlier (see Chapter 30) requires the previous two sets of experiments as a foundation, so it is not suitable to start again and the design must be redone.

Link currently only has a general idea; further refinement requires consulting numerous resources and gradually perfecting it.

During this period, Link did not intend to leave the laboratory idle; he planned to verify his hypothesis about the positive impact of the new germination method on the seed quality of Silver Star Flower.

The two objectives are: first, to see the hypothesis through to the end; and second, to screen the seeds of the silver star flower, selecting the best among the best, to lay the foundation for further detailed experiments.

With the plan in place, Link washed up, meditated, and went to sleep.

Before falling asleep, I inevitably think of the summons from the wizard Paro.

After all, this summons was too sudden, and it happened not long after the results were announced, so Link couldn't help but be suspicious.

He knew, of course, that he didn't have anything on the surface that would make the wizard Paro covet him.

The reason the wizard Paro summoned him was most likely because he was nostalgic for the past.

As for funding himself to use a laboratory for six months, it was probably just a casual "angel investment," with no other reason.

After all, this expense was negligible for the wizard Paro.

Asking Link for a reason that can convince him is also a common practice to avoid making "investment" seem cheap.

Link did not doubt the motives and purposes of the wizard Paro, but instead reflected on himself.

Since his soul transmigrated to this world, Link has always lacked a sense of security, fearing that the secret of his transmigration would be revealed.

Especially after learning about the advanced level of civilization in the wizarding world.

If they can conquer all the worlds and become kings, how could they not have discovered the existence of transmigrators?

It's impossible to even think about it.

Moreover, the fact that no similar transmigrators have ever appeared in the Wizarding World before makes it even more terrifying.

This indicates that Link's "soul transfer" was not a coincidence, but rather that it was manipulated from the very beginning.

Just like the universe is so vast, if intelligent civilization truly only exists on Earth, that would be a truly terrifying prospect.

Therefore, Link has always maintained a low profile and is unwilling to stand out in the limelight.

But things didn't go as planned.

The academy's various rules and regulations meant that Link couldn't stay low-key forever.

Want to get the sorcery model scroll ahead of time?

can.

Report the promotion news as soon as possible!

Want to earn magic stones safely?

can.

Apply for jobs through official channels, enter your information into the college's intelligent management system, and accept supervision from the tower spirit and intelligent law enforcement puppet.

Do you want to obtain greater privileges, such as a year's use of a large laboratory?

can.

Achieve the best ranking in the competition between the North and South campuses.

To participate in the two-district competition, one must give their all in the three exams, or at least use most of their strength, to ensure they consistently rank in the top thirty of their grade.

All of this indicates that the more outstanding and conspicuous one's performance, the more support they will receive from the college.

Link certainly didn't mean to make a complete 180-degree turn from low-key to high-profile, but rather that he felt he needed to adjust his style.

Low-key life, high-profile work.

Perhaps this is the best way to leverage the college's resources and support to continue growing.

After thinking for a long time and many things, Link finally came to a conclusion and fell into a deep sleep.

The following day, Tuesday.

Wake up in the morning and embrace the sun.

A new day begins.

After having breakfast in the cafeteria, Link gestured for Jasmine to come with him to a place.

Jasmine stared wide-eyed at Link with suspicion for a few moments, a mischievous thought stirring within her.

Link stopped him in time: "Don't overthink it, and don't say anything out of line. I'm just taking you somewhere."

"oh."

Jasmine's mischievous idea was nipped in the bud. She lowered her little head, looking somewhat sullen and pitiful.

Linke refused to tolerate Jasmine's behavior and walked ahead with a cold and hard attitude.

Jasmine was frustrated once again and had no choice but to obediently follow along.

Before long, the two arrived at the laboratory building.

"Do you think I didn't do well on the test and want to give me extra lessons?"

Upon seeing the laboratory building, Jasmine was immediately reminded of the unpleasant memories of the practical exam a few days ago, and her expression changed instantly.

"No, not at all. I have other important matters to attend to."

Link gave a brief explanation and then went straight to the third basement level.

Link had been to the lab building many times, but he had never entered the underground area.

When I went down to the third basement level, the door next to the stairwell was locked.

Link took out the black card given to him by the wizard Paro and swiped it on the access control device.

The door clicked open and slowly swung open.

Link found the laboratory by following the address written on the black card.

I swiped my card to enter as usual.

As soon as Link entered, he was thoroughly shocked.

The laboratory is very large.

Upon entering, you'll find the office area, which includes a cloakroom and a lounge.

The experimental area is further divided into a botany laboratory, a zoology laboratory, and a microbiology laboratory.

It is fully functional and well-equipped.

"Welcome to my laboratory."

Link, unusually eager to show off, turned around, opened his arms, and said loudly.

Jasmine was even more dumbfounded. It took her a long time to come to her senses before she asked in a daze, "Link, this lab... is it yours?"

She was a regular at the lab building, having been to almost all the labs on floors one through six, where she would take classes or conduct simple experiments related to witchcraft rules and runes with Link. But she had never seen such a high-level lab before.

A clean and bright environment is the most basic requirement.

The giant glass curtain wall that divides the three laboratories, the rows of glass equipment such as beakers, graduated cylinders, and test tubes, the high-end intelligent instruments, and the smart screens that can be activated at any time...

Everything indicates that this lab is incredibly advanced.

"Is this the reward for getting first place in the exam?"

After a moment of surprise, Jasmine turned and asked.

"no."

Link calmed down and replied, "It was sponsored by Wizard Paro, for a six-month usage right."

"The Wizard of Paro?"

Jasmine knew that Link had met with Wizard Paro again because of the "thesis" review.

But she never expected that there would be such a follow-up.

"I'm definitely going to make good use of this lab; one person alone won't be able to handle it all."

Link didn't explain further and asked directly, "Molly Kidman, would you be willing to be my assistant and help me here?"

After a slight pause, Link continued, "Of course, there is no salary. You will only be allowed to use the laboratory facilities and equipment to conduct your own research, provided your experimental plan is approved."

Jasmine's response was brief and decisive.

"I do!"
