Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

It wasn’t just the New Blood focusing on the results.

Like Wizard Palo who had completed a college assignment and brought back some New Blood from the Stormy Sea, the official wizards, to varying degrees, also paid some attention to the results.

After all, the New Blood they brought back, if they happened to join the academy, and if they performed well, could also bring them some benefits.

Although insignificant, the occasional discussions added some color of their faces.

Wizard Palo was very surprised when he saw the name of the first place.

Even though there had been a previous encounter because of the “paper”, he already knew that Link Grande was quite outstanding, but Wizard Palo did not expect him to be so outstanding.

He was not inferior to him in his early years.

“Maybe I could invest a little bit.”

Recalling his distant past, after reminiscing, this thought popped into Wizard

Palo’s mind.

He too was once a New Blood from the Stormy Sea. After decades of struggle, trials of life and death, only then did he become the top-tier 3rd level wizard and is about to be promoted to a sage.

Without much thought, investing a little would not cost much.

Moreover, Wizard Palo was in the metamorphosis period of his promotion stage, waiting quietly until the transformation was complete, and he had nothing to do for quite some time.

He might as well consider it a cultivation game.

It would be a good pastime.

And also to make up for the kid, after all, last time I let him take some losses and humiliation out of convenience.

Therefore, when Link was about to leave the library and return to the dormitory, he received a call for Wizard Palo.

Although he did not know why, Link did not dare to take it lightly.

He quickly packed his pens and paper, and the onboard computer, and headed to the Administrative Building.

The address given in the summoning notice was still the “paper” review office.

The door was open.

Link knocked gently at the door, as a reminder, before stepping in.

“Good evening, Wizard Palo.”

As soon as he entered, Link greeted immediately.

“Sit.”

Wizard Palo gestured to a chair in front of the desk with his eyes.

“Thank you.”

Link sat down obediently.

“Invited you here this late because I saw your score ranking and it reminded me of my own past, so I wanted to meet you.”

Wizard Palo, straightforwardly, stated the reason for the summons.

“Thank you for your concern, Wizard Palo.”

How could Link remain silent when the big boss talked about his feelings? It would not be appropriate to randomly engage with him, so he could only resort to his universal skill, l.e., showing gratitude.

When Palo wizard saw that Link was a bit restrained, he understood and took

the initiative to change the subject, asking:

“Did you carry out the experiment you mentioned in your last ‘paper’ about the optimization of Silver Star flower seeds?

Link responded earnestly, “Due to lack of funds and experimental conditions, I have temporarily not continued the experiment, and I am planning to restart it once all the conditions are right.”

“Hmm…”

Wizard Palo pondered for a while, saying,

“Since the ‘paper’ already has reference to the relevant direction, the experiments should be carried out as soon as possible, the results should come out and a ‘paper’ should be published in time to obtain the ‘patent.

Otherwise, it may be undercut.”

Hearing this, an awkward smile appeared on Link’s face.

In his original estimate, the new germination method of the Silver Star flower may have a positive impact on the rate of good breeds, but the impact on the seed’s optimization may be there, but it should not be significant.

Optimizing Silver Star flower seeds definitely wouldn’t be that simple. However, pay attention to the implications in the sentence.

Was Wizard Palo really only talking about this issue when he mentioned the optimization of Silver Star flower seeds?

How could someone of his standing look at such a small benefit?

Therefore, Link hurriedly showed a smile that was both awkward and polite, and then he earnestly said:

“Thank you for your advice, Wizard Palo. I think I should also pay attention to it, and carry out the experiment as soon as possible, but…”

While speaking, the smile on Link’s face became more awkward, “There really is no such condition, all the laboratories in the experimental building are public use, I don’t know how to apply for the appropriate dedicated site.” As soon as the voice fell, Link secretly hoped in his heart.

I have paved the way for you, big boss.

Can you see if you can step down this step and take out the benefits prepared for your little brother?

Wizard Palo did not let Link’s heart hang for a moment, and immediately said: “I can provide you with the use of a laboratory for half a year, and you shall bear the consumption during this period. But, you have to give me a convincing reason.”

Facing the temptation, Link did not answer hastily, but fell into deep thought.

Does he need a dedicated laboratory?

Of course he does.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have aspired to be the first place in next summer’s student competition, pouring his full strength into the mid-term exam.

Is there a hurry?

It’s not particularly urgent, anytime is fine.

Can he refuse?

Of course, he can but there is a ninety percent chance that he will not be able to bear the risk of annoying Wizard Palo.

Therefore, the key issue is that Link needs to give a convincing reason.

Wizard Palo, being able to hold the position of head of the “paper” review office, such a high rank position, obviously, his strength, status, and wealth are not to be underestimated.

Small profits can’t move the other party’s heart, promising everything is hypocritical.

So, what kind of an answer can make the other party satisfied?

After careful consideration, Link, in a serious tone, replied: “Within four years, as long as Wizard Palo needs it and it’s within my ability, I will do my best to do two things for you!”

One would be insincere, three would be too many, let’s split the difference.

“Ha!”

Wizard Palo chuckled lightly and praised, “Indeed, a very smart person!”

With this, Wizard Palo opened the drawer, took out a black card, placed it on the table, and handed it to Link.

“The lab is located on the third basement level of the experimental building, fully equipped. If there are any other needs, you can directly contact the Tower Spirit of the experimental building.”

Wizard Palo said casually.

“Thank you, Wizard Palo!”

Link stood up, bowed, thanked, and then picked up the black card.

“Hmm.”

Wizard Palo calmly accepted the salutation, and then waved his hand, “It’s late, go back. Remember to let me see the results soon.”

“Yes, Wizard Palo.”

Link responded, slowly exiting the office.

After walking some distance from the Administrative Building, Link took a long sigh of relief, relaxing his tense mind.

Although Wizard Palo had been friendly and gentle all along, the pressure he put on Link was greater than the pressure from the elder during the previous investigation.

Let’s put it this way, the pressure given by the elder is like a mountain, both weight and temperament are on the surface, straightforward, Whereas, the pressure given by Wizard Palo is like a deep abyss, the horror lies in the invisible, if not careful, will be quietly swallowed.

Anyway, the outcome of this meeting with Wizard Palo, for now, the pros outweigh the cons.

As for the impact on the future, Link couldn’t care less there and then.

He was just happy to have escaped unscathed, and receive funding by Wizard Palo, it was a blessing!

Anyway, the half-year usage of a dedicated lab is now in hand, which is just enough to get through until the beginning of next summer.

The key now is the direction of research, ideas, and results..
