Free Web NovelChapter 180: Chapter 169: [Moon Ancient Tree], [Large Magic Library]; Artificial Wonder [Sky Garden]
After fetching Zhang Yi, Wan Hua, and Hong Tianyi from the first honors class,
the sophomore year dean, Gaoxin Bridge, led them to the second honors class to also pick up Huang Yingtian, who had placed third in the final exam.
With Dean Gaoxin Bridge present,
the four students didn’t exchange many words,
only sizing each other up with their eyes.
In less than a minute, however, they had already arrived at the door of the principal’s office.
"KNOCK KNOCK!"
"Come in."
The sophomore year dean, Gaoxin Bridge, knocked on the principal’s door, and upon receiving a response, pushed it open.
"Principal, the top four students from the final exam have arrived!"
Principal Tang Weihua was already seated, clearly awaiting their arrival.
"Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Gao."
Principal Tang Weihua stood up.
"It’s no trouble, not at all."
"I’ll be taking my leave now, Principal."
Having brought the four students to the principal’s office, Dean Gaoxin Bridge knew it was time for him to leave.
As he left, Dean Gaoxin Bridge also closed the principal’s door behind him.
THUD!
Seeing the door close,
and looking at the four students before him who had secured the top four spots in the final exam,
Principal Tang Weihua couldn’t help but smile.
"You are all our school’s most outstanding sophomore students!"
"Since you’ve all placed in the top four, I will naturally deliver on the rewards I promised during my pre-exam speech!"
Hearing Principal Tang Weihua’s words,
all four of them, including Zhang Yi and Huang Yingtian, grew excited.
After all, during the exam, they had spent more than four full years in that small demiplane.
Wasn’t the principal’s promised reward the very reason they had worked so hard for so long?
And now, the reward was finally within their grasp!
Looking at the four excited students before him, Principal Tang Weihua swallowed the rest of his encouraging words.
He simply took out four terminals and handed them to the students.
"Letting you into the school’s treasury would be too much trouble; there’s too much red tape."
"This terminal, however, is connected to the school’s treasury. Everything available in the treasury will be displayed on it."
"Connect to the terminal and pick your items directly from here."
"After you’ve made your selections, a teacher will bring the items directly here."
"This will save you an extra trip!"
Hearing this, the four of them thanked the principal.
To Zhang Yi, it made no real difference whether he picked his rewards on a terminal or in the treasury.
Getting the rewards in his hands was the only thing that mattered!
When Zhang Yi opened the terminal, he discovered that the one provided by the principal even came with a search function.
You could just type in what type of Divine Domain Card you wanted.
So, Zhang Yi searched for Five-star Divine Domain Cards related to Elves.
Since the school was providing the rewards, Zhang Yi wasn’t going to hold back.
He also adjusted the display order of the Five-star Divine Domain Cards.
Using the filters,
the higher the quality of the Divine Domain Card, the higher it appeared on the list,
and the lower the quality, the further down it was.
After adjusting the settings,
the Five-star Divine Domain Cards appeared before Zhang Yi in order of quality, from highest to lowest.
And at the very top, the first card, an Unrivaled Quality Five-star Divine Domain Card, instantly captured his attention!
The first Unrivaled Quality Five-star Divine Domain Card was a branch segment from a Moon Ancient Tree.
Next to it was a line of introduction.
A branch segment from a Moon Ancient Tree, preserved through special means.
Rumor has it that if placed next to a [Moon Well] and irrigated with water from a [Well of Life], the branch of the Moon Ancient Tree can be revitalized, with a chance of reviving and growing into a full Moon Ancient Tree!
But even if it couldn’t be revived, it was still a precious material that could be used to forge a Semi-Divine Artifact!
When Zhang Yi saw this Five-star Divine Domain Card, he couldn’t tear his eyes away.
’I may not have a [Moon Well], but I do have a [Well of Life] Divine Domain Card!’
Moreover, Zhang Yi was already raising two Elf Ancient Trees in his Divine Realm,
so he had experience with them.
’What it says here, about needing a [Moon Well] and a [Well of Life], is just to stimulate the Life Force in this Moon Ancient Tree branch.’
’And compared to the method mentioned,’
’I have an even simpler way to turn this branch into a new Moon Ancient Tree sapling!’
’All I have to do is have my Clan offer it to me as a sacrifice!’
Zhang Yi mentally confirmed his choice and then continued scrolling down.
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Elf Mage Corps x2000].
’Don’t need it.’
Zhang Yi silently passed on this option.
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Super Large Magic Fountain x1].
’Don’t need it.’
Five-star Divine Domain Card [War Ancient Tree x400].
’This Five-star Divine Domain Card... hmm...’
Zhang Yi stared at it for a long time.
’A maybe!’
...
Zhang Yi kept scrolling down.
The remaining Elf-related cards were either Professions or corps.
And Zhang Yi already had all of those.
Thanks to his powerful family background, Zhang Yi had never really been short on Elf-related Divine Domain Cards.
As long as he worked hard, he could get the corresponding resources!
So, Zhang Yi switched tactics. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
He changed the search term from "Elf" to "Magic".
And soon, something he wanted appeared!
An Unrivaled Quality Five-star Divine Domain Card: one completed Large Magic Library and its construction blueprint!
Zhang Yi’s eyes lit up. ’This is great stuff!’
Previously, Zhang Yi had loaded a Small Magic Library into his Divine Realm.
It had greatly accelerated the development of his Elf Mage Corps and the Magic they mastered.
However, as Zhang Yi’s power grew,
the Magic provided by that Small Magic Library could no longer keep up.
The Forbidden Curse Spell he had cast before
was a spell model that took the Small Magic Library a full twenty years of refreshing its spells to obtain.
But if he switched to a Large Magic Library,
a Large Magic Library would directly contain instructions on how to cast Forbidden Curse Spells, along with the corresponding research! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
So, this Large Magic Library blueprint and the completed building...
Zhang Yi had to get his hands on them!
Next, under the Magic category, Zhang Yi found another Elf-related item.
A Five-Star Knowledge Type Divine Domain Card, "How to Cultivate the Elf Clan’s Exclusive Elf Ancient Tree From Scratch!".
This Knowledge Type Divine Domain Card, like the [War Ancient Tree] Five-star Divine Domain Card he had put on his tentative list,
was also marked as a maybe by Zhang Yi.
After finishing his selections in the "Elf" and "Magic" categories,
Zhang Yi saw that there was also a Miracle-type Divine Domain Card category.
Zhang Yi was instantly curious!
He opened it and took a look.
A Miracle-type Divine Domain Card that made Zhang Yi’s eyes sparkle appeared!
This instantly made Zhang Yi come to a decision.
He would pass on both the [War Tree-man] Five-star Divine Domain Card and that Knowledge Type Five-star Divine Domain Card he was considering earlier!
But this Miracle-type Five-star Divine Domain Card, he absolutely had to have it!
The first Miracle-type Five-star Divine Domain Card Zhang Yi saw was called [Sky Garden]!
Build a garden in the sky using special Magic Materials.
But while it was called a garden,
if you planted Magic Plants instead of flowers, it could also be called a Magic Plant Garden.
What really caught Zhang Yi’s eye were the effects that came with this Artificial Wonder.
Effect One: Accelerated Growth.
Plants grown in the Sky Garden have their growth speed increased by 30%.
Combined with a Well of Life, growth speed can be increased by another 10%.
Combined with a Large Magic Fountain, growth speed can be increased by another 10%.
In other words,
a fully-upgraded [Sky Garden],
with just Effect One alone, could cut the time required for Magic Plants to grow in half!
And the Sky Garden had a second effect.
Effect Two: Selective Breeding!
For plants grown in the Sky Garden,
first-generation seeds will have their effects enhanced by 10%.
This 10% enhancement only applies to the seeds’ beneficial effects, not the harmful ones.
Second-generation seeds can increase the effect by another 5% on top of the first generation’s bonus.
Finally, third-generation seeds can increase the effect by another 3% on top of the second generation’s bonus.
Although fourth and fifth-generation seeds did not receive further optimization effects,
the combination of [Sky Garden]’s Effect One and Effect Two
could absolutely speed up the development of new seeds and cultivate far superior ones!
If the Magic Wheat discovered in his Divine Realm back then could have been cultivated in the [Sky Garden],
the Wood Elves probably wouldn’t have needed to spend over a decade cultivating Magic Wheat that could be planted on a large scale.
It would have only taken a few years.
Not only would they have been able to cultivate Magic Wheat for large-scale planting,
but they could have also optimized its effects,
making the Magic Wheat’s subtle effect of increasing the consumer’s Magic Power capacity even stronger!
Of course, it wasn’t too late for Zhang Yi to get this Artificial Wonder’s Five-star Divine Domain Card now!
When Zhang Yi had selected the three Five-star Divine Domain Cards he needed, he checked them off and submitted his choices to the principal.
The principal nodded, then forwarded the three Five-star Divine Domain Cards from the terminal to the relevant personnel, telling them to prepare the cards Zhang Yi required.
After Zhang Yi finished his selection,
Wan Hua, Hong Tianyi, and Huang Yingtian also made their choices one after another.
They also handed their terminals, with their selections made, back to the principal.
The principal handled each one in turn.
After processing them, the principal returned the terminals he had just handled.
However, when Zhang Yi looked at the terminal’s interface again, it had changed from the Divine Domain Card selection to the Upper Class Divine Artifact selection.
Wan Hua, having already received his compensation in the form of an extra Five-star Divine Domain Card, was not given a terminal this time.
However, Wan Hua was also aware that he had already received all the rewards for fourth place.
So he stepped aside, quietly waiting for the other three to choose their Semi-Divine Artifacts.
Choosing a Semi-Divine Artifact was much harder than picking a Five-star Divine Domain Card.
After all, Semi-Divine Artifacts were far more valuable than Five-star Divine Domain Cards,
with the exception of some particularly lousy ones.
But Zhang Yi already possessed five offensive-type Semi-Divine Artifacts.
So, this time, Zhang Yi wasn’t planning on choosing an offensive-type Semi-Divine Artifact, but rather an Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact with powerful support effects!
Zhang Yi looked at the terminal again.
