Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 137 - 109: Infinite Vigor Golden Apple

Chapter 137: Chapter 109: Infinite Vigor Golden Apple

Base.

In a room transformed into an insect nest, various ores are scattered on the ground.

This is the newly developed insect nest, and also the place where Gem Bugs are bred.

Under the gentle halo of the Magic Stone Lamp, three egg-sized bugs are lying on the ores, leisurely feeding, with the nearly formed pure gemstones on their back shells exceptionally striking.

After more than two months of feeding, the three Gem Bugs that were once on the brink of death have fully recovered and become exceptionally healthy.

Now, as long as they eagerly consume their daily intake of ores, they can condense various pure gemstones.

Depending on the type of ores they consume, the types of gemstones produced also vary.

With the notes left by Avegni, Sunan has avoided many detours in this aspect.

It is worth mentioning that a single Gem Bug can produce three standard units of pure gemstones per month on average.

Three Gem Bugs result in nine each month.

Honestly speaking, this output is pitifully low.

Fortunately, Gem Bugs can self-replicate and propagate.

They just need to consume a special type of food.

According to the notes, the main ingredients of this special food include Abyssal Black Copper, Rainbow Iron, Sun Flame Gold Sand, Mithril, and high-grade gemstones, etc.

“Not easy things to find at all.”

Sunan sighed slightly.

However, thinking of the benefits once the number of Gem Bugs increases, he regained his spirit.

It doesn’t take much; as long as there are thirty Gem Bugs, the monthly gemstone production could increase to ninety pieces, and over a thousand pieces a year, enough for him to craft over twenty Elite Stone Golems or thousands of regular Stone Golems annually.

If there could be two or three hundred Gem Bugs, he basically wouldn’t worry about low-grade gemstones anymore.

“Take time to collect slowly.”

Sunan withdrew his gaze from the Gem Bugs and walked out of the insect nest.

Apart from the Gem Bugs, he also brought back a few Blood Soul Insects from Avegni’s cave.

But considering that breeding these things requires a large amount of souls, and he was reluctant to waste precious soul crystals on this, he eventually decided to abandon the plan.

After all, the only use of Blood Soul Insects for him is to extract bloodlines to create Bloodline Imprints.

Although the creatures with ancient Exotic Beast bloodlines on the Starlight Continent are not many, they are not few either; there are plenty of materials available for making Bloodline Imprints, making it unnecessary to be restricted to Blood Soul Insects.

Originally, Sunan also intended to extract the bloodline of Blood Soul Insects for synthesis, but eventually, he still couldn’t solve the problem of soul pollution.

He guessed it was because soul pollution is not caused by the bloodline ability of Blood Soul Insects. The bloodline ability of Blood Soul Insects is to convert soul energy into lifespan, and soul pollution is a side effect of absorbing souls itself.

Unless one possesses the ability to purify souls, absorbing souls will inevitably lead to pollution.

Finally, Sunan personally dissected a few Blood Soul Insects, collected the data, and disposed of the insect corpses.

Leaving the insect nest, Sunan headed straight to the workshop.

“Teacher!”

“Hello, Teacher!”

He encountered several groups of apprentices on the way; these boys and girls clad in grey robes stopped instantly upon seeing Sunan, respectfully saluting him.

After the policy of aptitude testing was implemented in the Flashing Territory, a new recruit joins the base almost every few months.

Currently, the total number of students at the base has reached thirty-six.

Coupled with various Otherworldly Creatures summoned by Sunan from another world, the base has become somewhat lively, no longer as desolate as before.

Sunan didn’t pay much attention to these students, merely assigning various tasks and preparing various resources for the students to exchange, essentially playing the role of a laissez-faire manager.

With the platform of the Woodland Cottage, Sunan received a huge supplement and improvement in basic knowledge.

After years of collection by the Night Owl and others, their supply of Wizard’s Scriptures is very rich, covering almost all the basic knowledge, Tier Zero potion formulas, and designs for low-level puppets needed by Tier One and Tier Two Wizard Apprentices.

Possessing these acquired pieces of knowledge, Sunan gained the confidence to train more apprentices.

Now the entire base has its own complete operating system, plus the assistance of Otherworldly Creatures like Grell and Madeleine, it basically doesn’t require much of his attention.

Of course, occasionally, he does provide some guidance to the students.

In the list of resources available for exchange, there is an option for Sunan’s guidance.

However, the required Contribution Points are high, and very few students can afford to exchange for it.

Arriving at the workshop, Sunan approached the workbench.

On the wide workbench lay a magic robe yet to be completed.

The experience of exploring the underground city-state reminded Sunan, and upon returning, he had the idea of creating a magic item that could hide his presence for future explorations of the underground world.

After much deliberation, Sunan decided to craft a robe with a Constant Invisibility Skill.

The robe used to craft the enchanted robe was sewn by a famous tailoring master in Flash City, with excellent quality and a great texture.

Sunan bound the Cleanliness Skill, Silence Skill, and Invisibility Skill onto it.

The first two were fine, with one being a Tier Zero Magic and the other a Tier One Magic, and the difficulty of binding them wasn’t high.

But, as a Tier Two Magic, the Constant Invisibility Skill was much harder to bind than the previous two.

Even though Sunan’s [Magic Item Crafting] had reached level 4, he still failed several times before succeeding.

Afterward, he added an enchantment of Formless Traits onto the robe, allowing the robe’s appearance to change freely.

It wasn’t until evening that Sunan finally completed the crafting.

Looking at the exquisite and magnificent robe on the workbench, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
