Wizard: My magic facility can be upgraded!

Chapter 63 The Classroom on the 5th Floor

Five kilograms... that's a full 15,000 contribution points, while he only has 1,500 contribution points now. This astronomical number made Li Ang feel dizzy, but what followed was an overwhelming joy and an unprecedentedly strong sense of purpose.

A flying potion workshop of my own? Or even... a flying wizard tower?

This prospect is too tempting to drive any wizard crazy. Although we are still far from having enough contribution points, at least we have a clear direction and goal: to earn more contribution points.

After a thorough search, and confirming that there were no other valuable discoveries, Li Ang decisively ordered the Golden Guardians to return to their original positions outside the tower.

With barely suppressed excitement, he returned to the fortress entrance, then took out a knife and collected a considerable amount of moonshine moss without damaging its roots.

Only after his small medicine bag was completely full did he carefully return to his dormitory by the same route.

When he returned to his dormitory, it was almost dawn. Li Ang was wide awake, his agitated emotions still not fully calmed.

The floating core and the enormous amount of contribution points required for its repair, as well as the floating fortress that had been destroyed by some unknown force... these things swirled in his mind.

He decided to give up sleeping and instead sat cross-legged, entering a meditative state once again. In the rich wind elemental environment created by the [Gentle Breeze Barrier Lv2], combined with the effects of the [Acceleration Pocket Watch Lv3] and the calming potion, his mental energy rapidly recovered and became increasingly solid.

As the morning bell rang for the seventh time, Li Ang slowly opened his eyes. He remembered that Ginny had mentioned that the classes on the fifth floor started an hour earlier than those on the fourth floor.

"The timing is perfect." Li Ang stood up, changed into the brown apprentice wizard robe, and pinned the silver badge given to him by his mentor Eve to his chest.

He pushed open the door, and after enjoying a steaming bowl of meat porridge and fried eggs in the cafeteria, Li Ang estimated that it was about time, so he got up and headed to his new classroom.

The layout of the fifth floor was very similar to that of the fourth floor, only quieter. Following the signs, he quickly found the classroom for apprentice wizards.

The classroom door was open, and about twenty people were already seated inside, all of them apprentice wizards dressed in brown robes.

Just as Li Ang was about to step into the classroom, a slightly heated argument reached his ears.

"Harris, Dragonblood Thorn must be soaked in Moonlight Spring water. Only in this way can the berserk power within it be fully stimulated to refine the purest Dragon Power potion. The slight cost and time involved are insignificant."

Sandra Meyer’s clear voice carried an undeniable stubbornness as she emphasized this to another female apprentice.

The apprentice wizard named Harris shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness:

"Maxwell, Moonlight Spring water is too expensive, and the pure potency you mentioned is probably too strong for most apprentice wizards to handle. My method is gentler and cheaper."

"Harris, don't forget that our group's topic is enhancing effects. Mild? That's just an excuse for mediocrity."

Sandra Mea's bright green eyes widened as she argued with a bespectacled blonde girl.

"Maxwell, I must remind you, our project is to enhance the effect while ensuring safety, but with your method, most wizards will lose their minds the moment they drink the potion. Not everyone is like you dwarves..."

Just then, Li Ang walked into the classroom. The moment Harris saw Li Ang, the argument stopped abruptly, and she turned to look at Li Ang with a curious gaze.

Sandra Mea looked in the direction Harris was looking, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

"Li Angqing, over here!" She immediately waved her little hand vigorously, as if she had forgotten the argument just now, and pointed to an empty seat next to her, "Come and sit down."

Hearing the commotion, the other apprentice wizards in the classroom all turned their gazes over, and hushed discussions began to ripple through the room.

"Is that Leon Carlson? The winner of this Silver Crucible? He doesn't look very old..."

"I heard he just arrived recently? Less than two months, I think?"

"Really? He became an apprentice wizard in just two months? It took me three years... This speed is terrifying."

"Shh...keep your voice down, they say he might have the legendary level 6 mental power talent!"

"Level 6? Impossible! Why would a genius like that come to our Potions School? Wouldn't the Elemental School be a better fit?"

"Putting that aside, aren't you planning to bring him into the research group? I'd like to give it a try."

"Stop dreaming, Gaius. Haven't you noticed that Maxwell has been eyeing him for a while now?"

Li Ang listened to these discussions without any emotion. He smiled at Maya and sat down in the empty seat next to her as instructed.

"Li Angqing, you've come at the perfect time. I was thinking..."

Before she could finish speaking, the chatter in the classroom suddenly stopped, and a tall, languid figure walked in.

That person was none other than Karin, her mentor. She scanned the entire room with her eyes that seemed to be still half asleep. When her gaze swept over Li Ang, the sleepiness in her eyes disappeared, and a very complex emotion flashed across them.

"This kid... he actually came." Karin thought to herself, a feeling of indescribable bitterness and helplessness rising within her.

Winning the Silver Cauldron Competition and being promoted to Apprentice Wizard in two months... Such an achievement would be a dazzling accomplishment under any mentor, enough to bring the mentor a large amount of academic contribution and a boost in reputation.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the silver badge on Li Ang's chest that symbolized Eve Chloe.

But it was Eve… that princess who never attended public classes, had no interest in academic contributions or promotions, and spent all her time holed up in her room…

In her mind, Li Ang was no longer the lucky guy; Eve was the one who got a great deal.

"It's true... comparing yourself to others is infuriating." Karin suppressed her resentment and tried to refocus on the lesson. She gently tapped the podium, quieting the slightly noisy classroom.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's start class." Her voice still carried that characteristic languidness.

The courses on the fifth floor differ from the basic teaching on the fourth floor. They mainly focus on the improvement of pharmaceuticals, analyzing the differences in efficacy, the increase or decrease of side effects, and cost fluctuations caused by changes in the proportion of different materials.

She still spoke very quickly. She first listed several cases, some successful and some unsuccessful, mainly analyzing the points of success and failure, and how to avoid failure.

Li Ang listened intently. These systematic improvement theories corroborated his own unorthodox methods, such as cold extraction and compound stabilizers, deepening his understanding of potion science. Many previously vague ideas became clear at this moment.
