Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Dormitory, study.

As soon as Link got back, he started to make a plan.

He now had a lab, but he still needed experimental materials, an assistant, and an experimental plan.

Materials could be bought from the Life Service Building. That was simple enough. He’d just need to spend some Magic Stones.

As for an assistant, he already had someone in mind. He’d ask Jasmine tomorrow.

If nothing went wrong, Jasmine wouldn’t refuse him.

After all, this was a rare opportunity. Others could only wish for it.

As for the experimental plan, the third group of experiments he’d designed before (see Chapter 30) required the completion of the first two sets first. They couldn’t be restarted now. He’d have to come up with another plan.

Right now, Link had a general idea. To specify it, however, he would need to look at a lot of resources and gradually perfect it.

During this process, he didn’t plan on letting the lab stay empty. He planned to test his hypothesis about the positive effects of a new germinating method on the germination rate of the Silver Star Flower Seeds.

He had two goals: one was to, from start to end, verify his guess; the second was to select good Silver Star Flower Seeds for further experiments.

After devising the plan, Link washed up, meditated, and went to bed.

Before sleeping, he inevitably thought of Wizard Palo’s summons.

After all, the summons had come so suddenly and not long after the exam scores were announced. He couldn’t help but think more about it.

He knew, of course, that there wasn’t anything in him that would attract Wizard Palo on the surface.

His meeting with Wizard Palo was probably really just because of past affections.

As for sponsoring the use of an entire lab for half a year, it was probably just a “angel investment”. There was nothing extra.

For Wizard Palo, this expense was nothing.

Asking Link for a convincing reason was also a normal move to keep his “angel investment” from seeming cheaply-made.

Link didn’t feel suspicious about Wizard Palo’s intentions and goal. He examined himself.

Since he’d brought over here, he’d always felt a lack of security deep in his heart. He was always afraid that his secret identity as an outsider would be discovered.

This was especially true after he’d learned of the high level of development in the Wizard World.

I mean, could they have never discovered the existence of outsiders if they could battle across the Heavenly Worlds and rule them?

That was impossible.

If there’d really never been outsiders in the Wizard World before, that’d be even more terrifying.

This meant that Link’s transmission wasn’t an accident but was controlled throughout the process.

The entire universe was so big. If life only existed on Earth, that’d be the true nightmare.

So, Link had always been lowkey. He didn’t want to attract attention.

But it never went the way he wanted.

The rules and style of the academy meant that Link couldn’t stay lowkey forever.

You want to get the Magic Blueprint Scroll ahead of time?

That was fine.

But you must report your advancement to the higher level sooner!

You want to safely make money?

Sure.

Go through the official process and put your information into the academy’s intelligent management system. Accept supervision from the Tower Spirit and the Intelligent Enforcement Puppet.

You want more rights, such as a year of use for a large-sized lab?

Sure.

Get the best results in the competition between the north and south areas of the academy.

But if you want to attend this competition, you must do your best in the three examinations and at least reveal most of your strength. Only then can you surely appear among the top 30 in your grade.

Everything spoke of one simple truth—the more outstanding and eye-catching you were, the more support you got from the academy.

Of course, Link didn’t think about completely abandoning his lowkey ways. He just thought he needed to adjust his style.

Stay lowkey as a person, but be highkey in doing things.

Maybe this was the only way he could use the academy’s resources and support to keep growing.

He thought for a long time and conjured a lot of images. After reaching a decision, he fell asleep.

The next day was Tuesday.

He woke up in the morning and embraced the sun.

A new day had begun.

After breakfast in the cafeteria, Link signaled for Jasmine to follow him somewhere.

Jasmine looked at Link suspiciously, a mischievous plan forming behind her bright green eyes.

Link cut her off in time, “Don’t overthink or say too much. I’m just bringing you somewhere.”

“Oh.”

Jasmine’s mischievous thoughts were nipped in the bud. Her head drooped down and she sulked a bit, looking rather pitiful.

Link didn’t indulge Jasmine’s tantrum and walked ahead with a cold expression.

Jasmine had been discouraged once again and could only follow Link obediently.

Soon, they arrived at the lab building.

“Do you think I didn’t do well in the exam and want to lecture me?” said Jasmine.

Her face fell as soon as she saw the lab building. Memories of the unpleasant practical exam a few days ago immediately sprang up.

“No, not at all. There’s something else.”

After briefly explaining, Link immediately headed to the third basement floor.

Though he’d come to the lab building many times, he’d never been to the basement.

When he reached the third basement floor, the big doors next to the staircase were locked.

Link took out the black card Wizard Palo had given him and swiped it on the access control device.

The door emitted a click and slowly opened.

Using the room number written on the black card, Link found his lab.

Again, he used the card to enter.

As soon as he walked in, he was shocked at how big the lab was.

There was an office area right inside the door, along with a cloakroom and lounge.

The experimental area was divided into a botanical lab, a zoology lab, and a microbiology lab.

It was equipped with all the necessary apparatuses.

“Welcome to my lab.”

For once, Link felt like flaunting. He turned around, spread open his arms, and announced loudly.

Jasmine was even more dumbfounded. After a while, she came back to reality and asked blankly, “Link, this lab… is yours?”

She was a regular at the lab building too and had been in all types of labs on all different floors. She’d attended classes and did some simple experiments related to magic rule runes with Link. However, she’d never seen such an advanced lab.

Cleanliness was the most basic requirement.

That huge glass curtain wall separating the three labs, those rows of glassware like beakers, measuring cylinders, test tubes, that high-tech smart equipment, those intelligent screen computers that could start at any time…

Everything confirmed one thing: this lab was T M awesome!

“Is this a reward for being first in the exam?” After a blank moment, Jasmine asked.

“No,” Link replied as his emotions calmed down. “Wizard Palo sponsored this. It’s for half a year of use.”

‘Wizard Palo?”

Jasmine knew that Link had seen Wizard Palo again because of the “thesis” review thing. However, she’d never thought of the follow-up.

“I need to make full use of this lab, of course, it’ll be too busy for me alone.”

Without explaining too much, Link asked, “Jasmine Kidman, are you willing to be my assistant and help me out here?”

After a pause, he continued, “Of course, there will be no salary. I can only let you do your own research in the lab when your experiments are approved.”

Jasmine’s reply was short and firm.

“I’m willing!”
