Chapter 116 Mental Energy 85 points
Leo and Mord were both taken aback upon hearing this.
"Perhaps the improvement of mental energy has hit a bottleneck?" Maud said.
"I've heard many senior students who are second-class wizard apprentices say that third-class wizard apprenticeship is more like a transition, while second-class wizard apprenticeship is a threshold."
"Upon reaching the second-tier wizard apprentice level, the effects of the basic meditation technique will be significantly reduced. If you have been taking potions to enhance your mental energy for a long time before, then when you become a second-tier wizard apprentice, the enhancement of mental energy when taking potions will also be reduced."
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful glint flashed in Leo's eyes.
He had heard of this situation before.
In fact, long-term use of medication can lead to various side effects and increase the body's resistance to the medication, gradually weakening its effectiveness.
However, this does not seem to apply to potions of perfect quality.
High-quality medicines are absorbed very efficiently, so even if taken in large quantities, they will not cause an increase in drug resistance.
Just then, the pavilion suddenly went dark.
The tall figure of Wizard Pella arrived at the pavilion. She flipped through the data report and then said, "Hmm, your three groups are making pretty good progress. You should now be in first place among the six groups."
Fia and the other two were all taken aback upon hearing this.
Fia said, "We're first? That's impossible. Although we've made faster progress with the help of Wizard Leo, we still can't compare to Group One and Group Two for now."
"This matter..." Wizard Pera's face showed worry as she said, "It has something to do with Moben from Group Six. After he treated us to a meal at a small shop that day, many wizards in our research lab were pulled away by him to make quick money."
"Many wizards in the research labs, seeing the profits from their magic stones, have lost interest in their work and have become engrossed in researching the Stardust Shop."
The wizard Pera sighed deeply as he finished speaking.
"I should have stopped that party. I never expected something like this to happen at this crucial juncture in the research project."
More than a year has passed since this research lab was started.
During this period, Wizard Pera has devoted countless efforts to bring the project to near success today.
Wizard Pella never expected that this would happen during the final sprint.
Wizard Fia comforted her, saying, "Wizard Pella, you don't need to worry too much. I think that after a while, once other people's interest in the Star Shards cools down, they will refocus their attention on the work in the research lab."
"I hope so."
Wizard Pera picked up the report and went to check on the progress of the other groups.
Leo and the wizard Mord exchanged a glance.
Leo could clearly see the relief in Mord the Wizard's eyes.
Wizard Mord patted his chest and said, "Leo, I want to thank you, regardless of whether we can earn magic stones or not."
However, this act of neglecting the study of wizarding knowledge for the sake of magic stones has strayed further and further from the truth.
In the mind of Wizard Mord, earning magic stones is merely a means to an end. To neglect one's studies and growth in the research lab in order to earn magic stones is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse.
The power of wizards lies not only in the difference in spiritual energy, but also in the difference in knowledge.
Fia said, "Look, aren't those the people from Group Six? They seem to be arguing about something."
Upon hearing this, Leo followed Fia's finger and saw Moben surrounded by other wizards.
Leo's ears twitched.
His hearing also improved after taking the deadwood potion.
Leo soon heard the argument on the other end.
"Wizard Merben, give me back my magic stone!"
"Merben Wizard, you clearly said it was a sure-fire way to make money, but I'm losing money all the time."
Moben remained calm and said, "Don't panic, everyone. Actually, I'm starting to lose money too. But this is a normal technical adjustment. I've looked into the market from a friend. Recently, because more people are running small shops and the production of Star Shards has decreased, small Star Shard shops are also experiencing difficulties."
"But this is quite normal."
Moben patiently explained, "What goes up must come down; it's impossible to always be making money. Don't worry, based on my previous experience, as long as we find a new starstone vein, we can revitalize the business."
The other wizards exchanged bewildered glances.
Two second-class wizards from the same group were also among them.
A second-class wizard said, "I'll trust you this time, but if it doesn't improve after a week, you have to return the five hundred magic stones I paid and compensate me for the loss of magic stones."
Upon hearing this, Moben said, "That doesn't make sense. The five hundred magic stones you paid me were your tuition fees. As for the loss of your magic stones, that's your own business and has nothing to do with me. I'm just telling you about this operating method; I can't guarantee that you'll definitely earn magic stones."
"? You didn't say that before."
"Yes, Wizard Merben, you were so sure you could earn magic stones."
"No, I never said that."
Their argument grew increasingly heated, and even Maud and Fia, who were in the pavilion in the distance, could hear it clearly.
Fia revealed a gloating expression and said, "That guy, Moben, really does one thing and does another."
When he told you this to Wizard Leo before, he guaranteed you could earn magic stones.
"He spoke so confidently before, I thought it was really that easy to earn magic stones at the Shattered Star Stone Shop."
"It seems that the risk of losing money with this Star Shard Shop is still very high."
Leo said, "Let's go."
Leo was not interested in Merben's situation.
After all, from the very beginning, Leo didn't think this Star Shard Shop was anything special.
Leo returned home and spent the entire afternoon and evening refining a perfect White Fairy Mana Growth Potion.
For a period of time, Leo also continued to take the White Fairy Mana Growth Potion.
After drinking four bottles of White Elf Mana Growth Potion, Leo's mental energy increased by 55.
There was no increase in spiritual radiation.
Moreover, the medicine is more effective than the one I bought from the Woodpecker shop before.
After refining all the remaining materials, Leo temporarily stopped what he was doing.
"I should be able to drink the remaining perfect-quality White Elf Mana Growth Potions for another three or four days."
"As for magic stones, I still have some left."
After a moment's thought, Leo made his decision.
"Let's put all the remaining magic stones into the White Elf Mana Growth Potion."
"First, raise your spiritual energy until the magic stones are exhausted."
"I'll think about earning magic stones later."
In the following days, Leo spent his mornings conducting research and his afternoons drinking and refining White Fairy Mana Growth Potions.
A week has passed.
Inside the room, Leo felt the surging spiritual energy and a smile appeared on his face.
85 points of spiritual energy.
I'm not far from becoming a second-class wizard apprentice!
