35: Chapter 35 Operation

"Tropical Monstera, Rubber Tree, Lightning Sheep, Holy Flying Horse, Iron-Feathered Eagle, and Komodo Giant Lizard."

Ross's gaze turned towards these magical creatures; these belonged to the collection of an Official Wizard.

Compared to the man-eating flowers in the basement, the magical creatures here were much more diverse, and it was also Ross's first time carefully observing this cultivation room.

Professor Pulang did not hand over all the feeding tasks for these magical creatures to Ross.

After all, this kind of workload was still too much for Ross, a Wizard Apprentice.

However, on the warning signs of these iron cages or partitions, one could see the markings on how to feed these creatures.

For instance, the "Iron-Feathered Eagle" needed to be fed magic stone fragments and a special feed mixed with iron scrap slag and some gurgle pig meat.

In the separate glass house, the planted "Rubber Tree" needed to be checked daily to see if it had absorbed enough water and wood elemental particles.

This magical plant could produce a special fruit, which was a top-tier material for refining equipment such as inner armor and leather boots.

It was also a material used by many "Legion Style" schools to maintain puppets and manufacture protection.

Ross looked at these magical creatures with relish, and this was also his first time coming into contact with so many bizarre magical creatures.

Thinking that if he were promoted to an Official Wizard, the cultivation methods and management designs of these magical creatures would all be the foundation for him to learn and advance in the future.

One day, he would also have a laboratory of his own.

...

Ross's gaze swept towards a secluded place; in the central area of the cultivation room, there was a room specifically used for placing some equipment.

This was also Ross's destination.

The equipment here was housed in transparent glass rooms, and these rooms were cast with the freezing magic of the "Evocation School".

It could dissipate the heat emitted during the operation of the equipment.

The equipment here was expensive; without the lasting heat-hedging of this freezing magic, it was very prone to failure and damage.

Ross's method of soil-culturing mana microorganisms near the magic field was simply messing around.

Compared to the fine cultivation conditions here, it was worlds apart.

No wonder Professor Pulang, as an Official Wizard, took a fancy to Ross; under such crude conditions, he could accomplish a task that was simply impossible for an apprentice.

The equipment here not only included a full set of purification and cultivation devices, but also an automatic feeding device.

As well as emergency operation equipment to prevent emergencies.

When some emergencies occurred during the laboratory cultivation process, it would automatically cut off the power and close the doors and windows of the entire laboratory to prevent experimental leaks.

"Place the parent spores of the mana microorganisms in a pure cultivation device. Keep its humidity, temperature, and rotation speed at normal levels."

"Set the time before departure first, which is within a week. We should be able to cultivate a fresh batch of spore groups first. By the day before departure, the cultivation scale can be expanded."

While looking at the instruction manual for the equipment, Ross took out the "mana microorganisms" from the cold-processed test tube and placed them in the instrument.

"According to the amount for a week, the nutrients required by these mana spores can basically last until before departure."

"Compared to the crudeness of the previous soil-culture method, this place can simulate the best conditions for the growth of these spores. It will also automatically make appropriate adjustments according to the growth rate of the spores."

The crystallization of knowledge in the wizard civilization was truly everywhere, stunning Ross.

If an extraordinary civilization had extremely powerful individual might, that would be very easy to understand.

But being able to apply extraordinary things to ordinary research was extremely rare.

Although these equipment were expensive, being able to free up some of the wizards' time during research made them seem not so expensive. It could greatly accelerate the research cycle of wizards.

Like the cultivation of this kind of mana microorganisms, according to the instructions on the instrument, if the previous soil-culture method might take a week.

Then here it could be shortened by almost half.

Therefore, in the week before Ross left, he could cultivate almost two rounds.

This kind of speed and efficiency could only be achieved in the laboratory of an Official Wizard.

Ordinary Wizard Apprentices would not have such benefits if they did not have an Official Wizard as a mentor.

Before coming, Ross was still worried about whether the Goblin Supervisor would be unable to manage the cultivation of these mana microorganisms well.

But seeing the magic of these instruments, he was no longer worried.

If the previous soil-culture method required some cultivation experience and multiple attempts at cultivation for someone who was contacting it for the first time or had no relevant experience and knowledge.

Under the blessing of these equipment in the cultivation room, it would appear insignificant.

The cultivation manual for mana microorganisms left behind by Ross could also be written more easily.

As long as some relevant growth condition settings and some matters needing attention regarding growth changes were left behind.

For the rest, I'm afraid any race with normal intelligence could quickly understand and operate these equipment.

Ross started to work, and after writing down the relevant rules, he placed them on the workbench and left a message for the Goblin Supervisor about some things to note.

After arranging the matters of the cultivation room, one matter was finally completed.

Regarding the cultivation progress of mana microorganisms, he only needed to take time to look at it here again later.

But considering that he was going to Boulder Town a week later to investigate an anomaly.

The risk of going out was still very high.

Therefore, Ross still needed to buy some equipment for protection.

As a Wizard Apprentice, the wizardry he currently mastered included not only [Hand of Magic], but also [Magic Flame].

These two as attacking means were already enough.

Magic Flame, especially when his affinity for void elements was relatively high, would play a power far exceeding other elements when consuming his own mental power and mana.

With the slow improvement of his mental power these days, his mastery of Magic Flame had also become more handy.

And a universal spell like [Hand of Magic], for a Wizard Apprentice, could be offensive and defensive.

It could be used as a means to explore traps or the road ahead, and also as a barrier surrounding oneself.

But these methods ultimately still required him to retain mental power and mana.

If fighting in the wild, when his mana could not recover, he would need some external objects for protection.

In this regard, Ross still had some deficiencies.

After all, in a safe area like the Wizard Academy, Ross had never thought of buying some equipment.

But this outing still required full preparation.

Fortunately, before Professor Pulang disappeared, he had advanced him a month's reward of magic stones for feeding the man-eating flowers in the laboratory.
