Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique - Chapter 343:
Chapter 343: Chapter 83: Beg me! _2
Morpheus turned the conversation; “Actually, I’ll establish a new research group and still have you as the team leader.”
“I accept.”
Link agreed with the proposal.
In this way, he could escape the two mires of both the potion development team and the potion refinement team.
Alone in his group, he could close the doors, retreat into his tower, and take care of his own affairs.
He could then avoid all the bullshit that he didn’t want to get involved in.
Once the two of them confirmed their plan, they started to take action.
Office space and a fully equipped laboratory were already prepared; Link just had to pack up and move in.
Morpheus would take care of the administrative procedures.
In his newly proposed research group’s lab, Link familiarized himself with the equipment and began to conclude two main research projects.
First, he submitted a special request for further research to the front-line command post.
While he was waiting for the application to be approved and for other required research materials, Link didn’t waste time. He started organizing all the experimental data from past research and got to writing the outlines for some research articles.
While Link was deep in his studies, a new startling rumor waves beleaguered the Potion Department.
Link had been removed from position as team leader for both the potion development and potion refinement teams, and was instead appointed as the leader of a newly formed team.
However, this change came as a surprise to very few people.
No matter what, Link was considered a highly meritorious individual in the Potion Department.
The Department was able to clear away undesirables, maintain the environment, restart business, all of which were closely related to him.
Even if his removal from the positions of the two teams was due to public sentiment, he was entitled to a different compensation.
No one could object to Link’s new appointment.
However, the choice of new leaders for the potion development and potion refinement teams was indeed unexpected to many.
The new leaders were not the two acting team leaders who had been actively opposed Link, but two deputy leaders who were always quiet and diligent.
Furthermore, Morpheus blindsided everyone by transferring the two acting team leaders back to the Medical Department!
He reasoned that they were unsuited for the role as they were not united with their colleagues, practiced isolationism, and caused division.
Indeed, Morpheus had struck a major blow to the acting team leaders.
They not only failed to achieve their desired position, they also messed up their careers, which they valued most.
They sheepishly returned to the Medical Department, only to be met with disdain and ridicule.
This failure would not sit well with them.
The two of them were desperate to continue the contention.
Morpheus was having none of it, though, and ordered them to be taken out of here like trash, littering the Potion Department.
He even threatened them, saying, “Dare step into the Potion Department again and your legs will be broken!”
After experiencing this event, all personnel, old or new, in the Potion Department gained a deeper understanding of Link’s position.
Link was neither deaf nor blind and was of course aware of everything that Morpheus had done.
He felt a sense of gratitude in his heart and subsequently received the experimental materials delivered by the front line command post, after they quickly approved his application.
Included in the materials was some parts of the Fairy King’s broken body.
Link started a rigorous research process which lasted three straight days and nights.
Despite the tremendous workload, the outcome was equally fruitful.
Roaming around in the Fairy King Forest and simulating experiments in his mind had proven useful to curb boredom and ennui.
To some extent, it improved the efficiency of Link’s research this time.
Having sorted out all experiments and collected all data, Link didn’t continue overnight but instead chose to rest and clear his mind.
He didn’t even go back to the dormitory. Instead, he took a shower and had a good night’s sleep right in the lab.
Upon waking up, Link rolled up his sleeves and wrote three research articles.
The main topics were: a comprehensive analysis of fairies (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry), the nature of fairy inherent abilities (soul, body) and the principles, flaws, and improvements in the biochemical enhancement and strengthening scheme for enhancing fairy inherent abilities.
In addition to these three articles, Link had another groundbreaking accomplishment.
During the improvement of the biochemical enhancement and strengthening scheme, Link had pondered how to transplant this approach to wizards.
Notably, Link was inspired by the Serene Wizard’s experiment that improved wizard qualifications.
He was also grateful for the first deformed fairy he dissected and to Lokan, who was a body-refining wizard.
Both allowed Link to understand the positive and negative effects of biochemical enhancement and strengthening more directly.
Link’s breakthrough achievement was a set of potions.
These potions could be used for targeted improvement, or they could enhance all aspects of the wizard’s physical qualities who accepts the enhancement and refinement.
Targeted improvement means selecting from strength, endurance, damage resistance, speed, agility, reactions, or constitution, anything one needs or anything that is a weak point, to enhance in single or multiple areas (not exceeding four).
All-around enhancement literally means what its name implies — a more comprehensive and balanced improvement though slightly inferior in terms of enhancements degree.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
You gain some, you lose some.
Actually, the initial version of this breakthrough achievement was much more potent than the final version.
It could not only enhance physical qualities but also improve soul talents.
Combined, these could comprehensively improve wizard qualifications.
It achieved something that the Serene Wizard’s experiment couldn’t.
He didn’t adopt the initial version and chose to “castrate” it, resulting in the weakened final version.
