Chapter 100: Preparation for Promotion (Fourth update, please subscribe!)

Although the calculation of contribution points was too simple and crude, at least a list came out.

As for why the update interval of the list is so long...

The reason is also very simple.

After all, every time the list is updated, a Tier 7 fate system wizard must be found to "die".

And in the entire Norn Workshop, there are only a dozen or so fate system wizards of this level, which really cannot support too frequent list changes.

The impact brought by this list is also huge.

All apprentices checked the list at the first opportunity.

Less than ten days have passed since the earliest deployment time, and many apprentices haven't even had time to start.

And Jie Ming's battle record data was quickly synchronized to the workshop's total contribution points list almost the moment the wizard phantom dissipated.

The name "Jie Ming" from "Norn Academy 13", from a position unknown to apprentices before, rushed like a rocket, instantly surpassing tens of thousands of apprentices, and began to charge towards the top of the list at a terrifying speed.

Even in a short period of time, he had already entered the top ten.

The change in the list was like a hurricane, instantly sweeping through all wizard apprentices in the Elosia plane.

Augusta, who was resting in the ruins of an Orc tribe that had been razed to the ground, had her gaze sweep across Jie Ming's name like a knife.

When she saw the rocket-like soaring ranking, the eyes that were already full of fighting spirit now seemed to have two thunderbolts ignited.

She gripped the staff in her hand tightly and roared in her heart: "Jie Ming... you really did something again! Very good! Only then is it interesting!"

That desire to prove herself had climbed to the peak at this moment.

David Stoneheart, who had just wiped out an entire Elf tribe, saw Jie Ming's name instantly surpass him from the bottom of the list, and a ferocious smile appeared on his rough face:

"Ha! This Jie Ming? A bit interesting! This is a bit interesting! The wizard's battlefield should be like this, with strong people constantly emerging and competing with each other! I want to see how high you can jump!"

He waved his giant axe violently, splitting a towering tree beside him in half, seemingly venting his excitement.

Serafina Nightshadow whispered in the shadows, her emotions almost indiscernible: "Interesting..."

Her gaze under the hood seemed to penetrate the distant distance, silently calculating something.

Kaelen Vanya pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and the light of thirst for knowledge flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Jie Ming's amazing improvement on the list and muttered to himself thoughtfully: "To be able to obtain such high contribution points in a short period of time, it seems I was too conservative before. Hmm... I also need to work harder, perhaps I can try to construct a new elemental array to improve efficiency."

Inside Rex Magnus's alchemy power armor, a burst of dense electronic calculation sounds came. His calm electronic voice came out through the faceplate: "Analysis complete: The contribution acquisition efficiency of target 'Jie Ming' is preliminarily judged as: abnormal. Need further observation and deep modeling of his action patterns."

Norn Workshop Headquarters, Monitoring Hall.

Several high-level wizards were staring at the constantly jumping ranking data on the main screen.

"Oh? The kid from Academy 13 is rising in ranking very fast." A wizard with a monocle stroked his beard, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Another wizard put down the information in his hand and praised: "Jie Ming... this name sounds a bit familiar. It seems the action efficiency is very high, actually making effective contributions so quickly. Much better than those wastes who are still wandering blindly."

In the mentor area exclusive to Norn Academy 13, Mentor Clark sat with several other mentors.

When seeing Jie Ming's rapidly rising ranking, the stiff expression on his face finally couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile.

This kid really didn't disappoint him!

After crossing the vast primitive forest and the uninhabited barren plateau where they first landed, the direction of Jie Ming and the others changed, and they began to move along the mountain range beside the wasteland.

Their goal was clear—to head to the "frontline position" that was more intense in the Shaman's memory.

That area was not only the only way to join the main wizard force but also meant richer resources and more high-level magical beasts and indigenous people.

For this reason, Jie Ming and the others began to prepare on the road.

As apprentices of the alchemy department, during the process of moving forward, besides using reconnaissance wizardry, alchemy was also fired at full power to find the materials they needed.

"Speaking of which, I have never seen these materials at all. Are you sure they can really be used to prepare magic potions?"

Victor looked at Jie Ming picking up a seemingly ordinary magical beast carcass from the ground and couldn't help but ask: "And not only have I never seen the materials, we shouldn't have brought suitable medicine refining equipment this time, right?"

"Don't worry."

Amy, who also studied magic potions, popped out from the side, holding something that looked like magical beast feces in her hand:

"Although we have never seen these materials, Jie Ming and I have both constructed the wizardry model of Extraction Wizardry, so it is quite simple to refine magic potions."

"Simple?" Victor was even more puzzled. "Isn't magic potion study very difficult?"

He remembered very clearly that when he was in the academy, too many students in the logistics department who also studied magic potions lived in poverty.

It is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of refining magic potions is well-known to every apprentice in the academy.

Jie Ming reached out and aimed at the pile of magical beast carcasses, activated Extraction Wizardry, carefully separated some kind of transparent mucus from it, and then explained to Victor:

"It is indeed troublesome for those apprentices who are not familiar with it, but for those who are familiar with this aspect, what is difficult is discovering new potion formulas. And once the formula is confirmed and Extraction Wizardry is constructed, refining magic potions becomes quite simple."

Jie Ming had deeply studied wizard alchemy, runes, and magic potion study, and integrated them with the scientific knowledge of his previous life.

He believed that if alchemy is physics, and runes are mathematics, then magic potion study is chemistry.

Especially after he successfully constructed the wizardry model of "Extraction Wizardry", refining magic potions became a "simple" behavior similar to combining chemical formulas.

As long as the correct materials are collected and configured according to the correct proportions, and the corresponding conditions are met, he can refine any known magic potion.

Jie Ming tapped the transparent mucus with his finger: "Extraction Wizardry can precisely extract the elemental structure you need from any substance. The energy and matter of our world are constructed from various elements in a specific way from a microscopic level. Therefore, as long as you have enough understanding of a thing or a kind of energy, you can directly extract the part you need from it."
