Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 23 Magical Gadgets: The Highly Cost-Effective Eyeball Cube

Eiffel said, "The time is three days from now. When you come here, Mr. Danville, I will leave a knight here to wait for you and take you there."

"OK."

After agreeing on a time, Leo took the magic stone and went into the woodpecker hut next door.

Leo exchanged ten magic stones for two portions of withered wood potion crafting materials, leaving him with three magic stones.

If Leo fails, where will he get the ten magic stones back?

Leo will receive his first month's scholarship by then.

That's enough to pay off the debt.

Leo asked, "Miss at the counter, could you recommend some cheaper magical artifacts for me?"

Magical engineering is one of the disciplines of wizards, similar in function to the mechanical field in Leo's previous life.

However, the wizard's magical engineering relies more on mental energy to trigger the effects of machinery.

They are similar in principle, but they are actually two different systems. Both can learn from each other, but cannot be imitated.

"What kind of magical artifacts do you need, Wizard?" the elf asked. "Our Woodpecker Hut does provide magical artifacts, but we don't have a wide variety."

Leo said, "These are magical gadgets that can be used to scout the surrounding environment on the battlefield."

The elf smiled and said, "Regarding this, I recommend our shop's exclusive magical artifact: the Eyeball Cube."

"After use, the Eye Cube will split into up to nine eyeballs to observe the area centered on the user. However, the Eye Cube has usage limitations; each eyeball can only be used a maximum of 12 times. After each use, the recall function must be used to reuse it."

Leo asked, "How much does the Eyeball Cube cost?"

"It's very cheap, only two magic stones."

"Any other recommendations?" Leo asked instead of rushing to buy.

Upon hearing this, the elf said, "There is also a reconnaissance-type puppet band. When used, it can release waves to detect the activity of creatures within a certain range. There is no limit to the number of uses, but it is quite expensive, requiring 10 magic stones."

The elf then recommended several more reconnaissance-type magical artifacts.

However, the Eyeball Cube is the one that best suits Leo's taste in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Other options either have limited functionality or are too expensive.

In the end, Leo still bought the Eye Cube.

The next day, in the teaching room.

Sally looked at the half-finished potion in her hand and said, "Chris, although this potion failed again, it's still an improvement over the previous one."

"oh oh."

Chris was excited.

Isn't Sally's statement implying that she has made great progress?

Chris asked, "Witch Sally, at this rate, how much longer will it take me to finish concocting the potion?"

"I don't know, it depends on your effort and talent."

Chris slumped his head upon hearing this.

"Danville," Sally said, looking at Leo, "have you prepared the potion we're going to make?"

Unlike Chris, Leo has not been refining any potions during this period.

"Preparations are almost complete. I'll need your help then, Wizard Sally."

"Okay," Sally replied, then added, "By the way, Danville, I heard from Wizard Tesla that you asked him about the Knights of Favonius before?"

Leo said, "Yes. I came across a knightly order looking for a wizard to hunt sea monsters, and I was curious, so I asked the wizard Tesla."

Sally warned, "Danville, you have great talent, but once you die, you have nothing. What you need now is a safe environment to earn magic stones and improve yourself, not a chance to gain an amazing fortune in magic stones."

"Even if you're not earning many magic stones right now, if you persevere, one day you'll definitely surpass those opportunists who are impatient for quick success but end up as corpses on the path to becoming wizards."

"I will keep your words in mind."

Leo did not reveal that he had accepted the Knights' mission.

Although Sally was his guide on his path to becoming a wizard, her style of doing things was different from his.

Judging from the tone of the other party's voice, if Leo were to say it, it would only provoke their opposition.

Sally is like a scholar, improving her knowledge in areas like potions and earning magic stones. Leo, on the other hand, is more inclined to pursue power; he earns magic stones simply to gain greater power and grow faster.

Leo had to admit that although he, as a transmigrator, was different from ordinary Pros and not so warlike, he was very similar to Pros in his pursuit of power.

He did not yearn for fighting or killing, but he was filled with longing for greater power and acted more risky and aggressively.

After finishing his instruction, Leo returned to his room.

Leo began practicing meditation.

After cycling to its limit, Leo slowly stopped.

With the practice of meditation, his spiritual energy reached the 9-point mark.

Leo's spiritual energy is now very close to that of a wizard apprentice.

In a few days, Leo's spiritual energy will probably break through to level 10, and he can start trying to condense a spiritual seed.

Having reached the limit of his meditation practice, Leo focused his attention on studying the illustrated guide to withered wood potions.

The next day, in the classroom, Leo looked at the bottles and jars on the table and began to try to make the withered wood potion.

Sally the Wizard stood to one side.

Chris was there too.

Sally said, "Chris, you need to carefully observe Danville's potion-making process today. Whether it succeeds or fails, you can gain experience from it."

"Yes, Lady Sally the Wizard."

Sally then said to Leo, "Danville, before you begin the refining process, there's something I need to tell you."

"While potions produced in general are not included in the overall evaluation score, potions produced that are of excellent or perfect quality will receive an additional overall evaluation score."

"The withered wood potion you are about to make, although it belongs to the category of beginner potions, is closer to the simple difficulty potions made by wizard apprentices."

"In terms of difficulty, it's half a level higher than ordinary beginner potions."

"The additional score from the comprehensive evaluation is unrelated to the potion you are making; it is only related to the quality of the potion you are making."

Sally didn't say it explicitly, but she was actually trying to persuade Leo to use a regular beginner potion instead.

Upon hearing this, Leo said, "Witch Sally, I plan to give it a try. Based on the results, I will consider changing the potion I'm making."

Hearing that Leo also planned to switch to the beginner potion instead of stubbornly sticking to the withered wood potion, Sally smiled and said, "Very good. Sometimes knowing when to advance and when to retreat is a good quality."

Leo flicked his finger and began sorting the materials.

The sorting and processing of herbs requires separating and removing the effective parts.

There are many ways to do this process.

However, the most effective and versatile method is the 'mental energy sorting method' that Leo is currently using.
