Chapter 84: New Mission

Jie Ming's subsequent days seemed to have returned to a calm rhythm.

Until this day, he received a mission notification from Mentor Lei Ke.

"It won't be like before, needing to provide strategic reserves again, right?!" Jie Ming looked at Mentor Lei Ke vigilantly.

The last mission had exhausted him, and he even had a bit of psychological trauma.

"If it's still this kind of work, I won't accept it; I'm very busy right now..."

"Rest assured, the war situation on the Shadow Plane side is going very smoothly, and there is no demand for displays recently." Mentor Lei Ke was looking up from a pile of messy papers at that time, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"It's almost time for the new year's spraying of aptitude modification potions again; this time you need to execute the spraying mission for an area, and the academy will provide the spraying equipment and routes... This is a simple mission this time and won't waste too much of your time."

Jie Ming was even more strange upon hearing this; Mentor Lei Ke was right, a mission like spraying aptitude potions was indeed not a troublesome matter.

The so-called spraying of aptitude potions was an inherent way for wizards to transform planes.

With the development and expansion of wizards into the endless planes, their demand for fresh blood was also getting larger and larger.

The attrition of war, the occupation after conquering planes, the transformation of new knowledge, and breakthroughs in scientific research fields all required a continuous stream of talent.

Given that the probability of having wizard aptitude in naturally occurring human populations was too low, the Wizarding civilization had developed a set of efficient "population optimization" mechanisms.

I don't know when it started, but wizards had habitually sprayed aptitude modification potions on a large scale regularly in the planes they ruled.

These diluted aptitude modification potions would be cast into the entire plane by wizards in the form of rain, so as to gradually increase the average aptitude level of humans within the plane.

This transformation was subtle and did not demand immediate results.

Coupled with the fact that people with high aptitude combined with each other, the possibility of giving birth to offspring with higher aptitude would also be slightly higher; persisting like this, as long as the time was long enough, one day they would be able to reach a supernatural popularity where humans in the entire plane could cultivate meditation methods.

The subordinate planes of the Plane Nuolun workshop were divided into two parts.

One part was the core planes, which were those planes with a long history numbered before 10; their transformation time was extremely long, and they had not only achieved the goal of everyone having supernatural talent but also had an extremely high average level of population talent.

The other part was the planes that were re-established after later development, including planes from number 10 to over 130, such as the Plane Nuolun 13 where Jie Ming was located.

The Plane Nuolun 13 where Jie Ming was located had an aptitude transformation time that was not too long relative to those core planes, lasting for about 200 to less than 300 years, so the growth of the average aptitude of humans within the plane was not obvious, and the proportion of those who could step into the supernatural was not high.

Also because of this reason, wizards had always maintained the medieval living standards and technological levels of this plane and did not announce the existence of the supernatural to ensure the stability of the social structure.

Only when the proportion of the population that could cultivate meditation methods grew to a certain extent would wizards gradually announce the existence of supernatural power and guide ordinary people to come into contact with supernatural power.

And when the proportion of supernatural beings increased a bit more, they would even improve the technological level and production level of the plane to adapt to the living needs and psychological needs of more and more supernatural beings.

If it were a plane like the core planes where everyone had Tier 1 or higher talent, the technological level within could even reach the level of the future world described in science fiction novels.

Because by then, even the most ordinary people in the plane could use supernatural power, and some equipment based on supernatural power could be distributed without any scruples, achieving the degree of technological leap.

Of course, besides the humans in the orthodox wizard planes, there were many servant groups under the Wizarding civilization.

Although the strength intensity varied, the supernatural proportion of groups that could become servants was generally quite exaggerated, and most of them were maintained at 100%.

Moreover, the Wizarding civilization had also obtained a lot of knowledge that could allow ordinary people to advance to the supernatural when conquering many planes, and even the Wizarding civilization itself had many technologies that could transform ordinary people into supernatural beings.

But even with such convenient conditions, the Wizarding civilization still did not relax the threshold for creating supernatural beings.

With development, the destination of this knowledge was to be gradually eliminated or absorbed into the Wizarding system.

The main reason for choosing this way was only one: the Wizarding civilization was too strong!

Although the knowledge that allowed ordinary people to also have the possibility of obtaining supernatural power was effective, most of them could only produce weak supernatural beings, and the cost-performance ratio was too low.

And for the existing Wizarding civilization, weak supernatural beings who could not promote the progress of knowledge had no meaning for existence at all, and instead increased the cost of management.

For example, ordinary alchemy-type wizards, after mastering human body alchemy technology and artificial soul technology, as long as resources were sufficient, could completely produce armies of supernatural beings in batches alone.

A Tier 6 alchemy-type wizard like Lei Ke could even use an assembly line to produce Tier 4 wizard-level supernatural beings in batches, and the elite units he made could even reach Tier 6.

For such an existence, even if those supernatural knowledge could allow mortals to give birth to supernatural beings in batches, it had no meaning.

So unless the number of talented people in the entire civilization system was already so large that it could not be hidden, wizards would never open the path to the supernatural for ordinary people without talent.

After years of development, wizards finally confirmed that the only ones in the Wizarding civilization who had meaning for existence were high-tier wizards.

And things like Wizarding academies were essentially just cradles for giving birth to higher-level wizards, and wizard apprentices were just consumables in the process of screening high-tier wizards.

So even for a plane like Plane Nuolun 13 that had been "newly" developed for not long, even if the number of people holding talent was low, the Plane Nuolun Academy still only wanted apprentices with Tier 3 talent or higher, without the slightest intention of changing the threshold.

After all, the detection of wizard talent was related to innate spiritual power and soul strength; people with high talent might not have wisdom, but people with wisdom would definitely not have low talent.

Cultivating those talented people whose talent did not meet the standard was, in the eyes of wizards, "cost-performance ratio" too low; the only role of these people was to give birth to more people with talent.

This is the Wizarding civilization, the entire civilization is rational to the point of being cold.

However, as a vested interest in this system, Jie Ming had no objections.

After all, although it seemed to block the path of choice for most people, even according to his moral concepts, wizards took quite good care of those untalented peers of their own group. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
