Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 380 - 228: Welcome to the World of Wizards (Part 2)

All of this was somewhat beyond his understanding, giving him a feeling of having encountered a whole new world.

But upon regaining his composure, the staff felt a burst of joy in his heart.

This meant that in over six hundred years, Starlight Continent would return to its original state, and he could cultivate normally.

With the support of Star Alliance’s resources, it’s not impossible for him to climb further up and be promoted to Level 2 Wizard in the future!

Seeing the staff’s enthusiastic expression, Sunan smiled and brought up another matter.

"Are you interested in becoming the head of Starlight Academy?"

"Head?" The staff paused slightly.

"That’s right, the position of head has been vacant because there hasn’t been a suitable candidate, but now it’s different. You’ve been promoted to Wizard, and you’re fully qualified to take over as head."

The staff only hesitated briefly before nodding in agreement.

The position of head of Starlight Academy carries a not insignificant status within the Star Alliance as well as access to more resources, so he certainly would not refuse.

After a few more exchanges, Sunan left.

Watching Sunan go off into the distance, the staff’s gaze shifted slightly.

Before being promoted to a Wizard, he was completely unable to gauge Sunan’s real strength, only feeling that the other person seemed shrouded in a layer of mist, unfathomable.

He thought that after breaking through to become a Wizard, the gap between himself and Sunan should shrink somewhat.

But the reality was unexpected.

Standing in front of Sunan, he still couldn’t see through his power.

The only change was feeling the powerful pressure from Sunan.

It’s like how an ant cannot sense the terror of humans, but a three-year-old child can understand the strength of an adult.

In this sense, perhaps the gap between him and Sunan indeed had narrowed a bit.

Thinking of this, the staff couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

Composing his thoughts, he turned and headed towards the teleportation hall, preparing to visit the warehouse area to exchange for Crystal Soul Potion to aid in cultivation and stabilize his realm.

There was also Witchcraft Artifact, which he had coveted for a long time, and now could finally exchange for it.

But before that, he needed to acquire enough Contribution Points.

The price of Witchcraft Artifact was not cheap!

...

The news of the staff’s promotion to Wizard quickly spread throughout the Star Alliance, causing quite a stir.

At the same time, it also boosted the spirits of the Wizard Apprentices.

The staff’s promotion undoubtedly showed that it was still possible to be promoted to Wizard on the current Starlight Continent!

As for Sunan, he simply couldn’t be taken as a target.

Starlight Continent only has one Sunan, and anyone who thinks they can be the second Sunan would only cause laughter.

A few days later, Sunan made a decisive decision, directly appointing the staff as the first head of Starlight Academy, responsible for managing all affairs of the academy.

While serving as head, the staff also took over part of the work of producing Crystal Soul Potions and refining Refined Gold Golems.

With his help, Sunan finally managed to reduce part of the workload on him.

Time flew by, and soon it was Starlight Calendar year 1362.

Thunder Month (April).

Sunan finally successfully synthesized a large Elemental Pool.

With the buff of the large Elemental Pool, the filling progress of the Talent Crystal Model increased by 0.11% in just one month, nearly doubling the previous speed.

[Talent Crystal Model Filling Progress: 22.31%]

"Not bad, given this speed, the Talent Crystal Model should be fully filled in at most sixty years."

Sunan’s face showed a satisfied smile.

The effort he put into manufacturing over ten small Elemental Pools to synthesize the large Elemental Pool paid off remarkably.

With a thought, Sunan summoned the three-dimensional model of the Wizard Tower.

[Wizard Tower: Starlight]

[Level: Small (Construction Progress 62.68%)]

[Current Remaining Energy: 88.22%]

[Smart Assistant Lifeform: Tower Spirit No. 1]

[Facilities: Elemental Pool (Large/Enhanced), Central Crystal Energy Transfer System, Residential Area, Warehouse Area, Experiment Area, Practice Area, Meditation Area, Plantation Area...]

[Servants: Clay Golem ×130]

[Defense Device: Maze Lock Protective Energy Field (Medium/Enhanced)]

[Combat Device: Spell Tower Type II ×118, Dissociation Cannon Type II, Golem Legion (Refined Gold Golem ×823, Master-Touch Puppet ×2, Secret Puppet ×4)]

Looking at the data provided by Tower Spirit No. 1, Sunan nodded silently.

The Maze Lock Protective Energy Field had already been enhanced to medium size, and the next step was to continue enhancing it to a large size.

It’s estimated that about a dozen small Maze Lock Protective Energy Fields need to be manufactured before they can be synthesized to a large level.

This is certainly not a small amount of work.

However, the workload is secondary; the real constraint on progress is the financial cost.

Nowadays, the majority of Star Alliance’s annual income is invested into the construction of the Wizard Tower, and even so, it’s still unable to operate freely.

If it weren’t for the limitations of funding and materials, the construction time of the Wizard Tower could be shortened by at least a third.

The Spell Tower Type II was still being constructed, and Sunan delegated part of the workload to the staff, allowing him to manufacture the original version of the Spell Tower while Sunan could focus on synthesis.

Thanks to the staff, the manufacturing speed of the Spell Tower Type II significantly increased.

The Dissociation Cannon Type II was recently developed, synthesized from eight original versions of the Dissociation Cannon, its power far exceeded that of Spell Tower Type II!

Sunan tested it with a Master-Touch Puppet, and just brushing against the edge, the puppet lost half its body!

If hit head-on, it would absolutely be obliterated!

This power is definitely enough to instantly kill any Level 1 Wizard!

It’s just unclear how effective it would be against Level 2 Wizards.

Sunan estimated that the possibility of instantly killing a Level 2 Vaporized Wizard was quite high, whereas a Level 2 Liquefied Wizard could probably only be severely wounded.

A Level 1 Wizard managing a small Wizard Tower could already confront a Level 2 Wizard head-on.

His reinforced version of the small Wizard Tower would certainly have no problem defeating a Level 2 Wizard.

However, the Dissociation Cannon Type II had an issue of exceptionally high energy consumption.

Even with a large Elemental Pool equipped, a single shot cost 12.83% of energy.

Shoot a few more rounds, and the Wizard Tower would face the predicament of insufficient energy.

If replaced with a small Elemental Pool, a single shot might cripple the entire Wizard Tower.

This thing simply can’t be equipped by a normal small Wizard Tower, and even a medium Wizard Tower would struggle.

Without a large Elemental Pool, it’s impossible to withstand the energy consumption of the Dissociation Cannon Type II.

Even with a large Elemental Pool, it can’t be used as a regular weapon; it can only be included in the final combat sequence.

However, Sunan initially intended the Dissociation Cannon Type II to be used as a final combat weapon, so it didn’t really matter.

The regular weapon of choice is already the Spell Tower Type II.

"The power of Dissociation Cannon Type II definitely surpasses Plasma Cannon. But how does it compare to Pulse Cannon?"

Sunan mused.

Lize has the design plans for a Plasma Cannon, but the main materials required for constructing it include Elemental Source Crystals, which are temporarily unresolved.

Fortunately, with the Dissociation Cannon Type II, it suffices for now.

The Golem Legion is still being built, and there’s still quite a bit to go before completion.

The main problem is the significant shortage of Refined Gold Golems and Master-Touch Puppets.

With the staff’s help, the progress of Refined Gold Golem has sped up considerably.

But Master-Touch Puppets can only be refined by Sunan himself.

The staff’s [Puppet Refining] skill level is not yet sufficient to refine Wizard-level puppets.

"For combat devices, that’s all for now, aside from the Floating Ring and Tower Spirit."

No need to explain about the Floating Ring, currently still accumulating materials, mainly a substantial amount of Mithril.

This device Sunan plans to manufacture at the very last.

As for Tower Spirit, Sunan initially planned to refine three, responsible for daily operations, battle command, and experimental assistance respectively.

Like Tower Spirit No. 1, which handles daily operations.

"I have all the Legendary Soul Crystals, so let’s first refine the Tower Spirit responsible for experimental assistance."

Sunan quickly decided on his primary tasks for the upcoming period and then estimated the time and progress.

"Before Starlight Calendar year 1400, the Wizard Tower should be completed."

The thought of soon having his first complete Wizard Tower filled Sunan with excitement.

With a Wizard Tower, as long as he gets promoted to a Level 2 Wizard, he would have no fear even when facing a Level 3 Wizard.

The Wizard Tower and Star Alliance are his greatest confidence against the Dark Throne in the future.
