Unexpected Gain 

Bang, bang, bang...

The buds of a pale blue plant in the culture dish on the table made slight bursting sounds, and tiny seeds scattered everywhere with the bursting of the buds.

With a wave of his hand, the laughing Edgar Wizard collected all these tiny seeds into his palm and presented them to Raymond like a treasure.

"These are the seeds of the Wind Line Orchid. Take them and cultivate them well," said the very excited Edgar Wizard. He casually threw the pot of rapidly withering Wind Line Orchid into the trash can in the corner of his laboratory. "The great cultivator Edgar heard about the Naga tribe and you did a good job!"

Raymond, who was standing respectfully in the laboratory, put away the tiny seeds and smiled.

Since Raymond returned to the Wizard Academy, today was the first time he had seen this arrogant mentor. When he moved into this castle with two little Nagas, he had come up before, but the entire top floor was blocked by a powerful magic spell cast by Edgar Wizard. Raymond did not dare to force his way in.

"It is still under your guidance that these savage Nagas hope to settle in the Red Swamp Wetland." As soon as the flattering words came out, Raymond felt a little chill.

But Edgar Wizard was very fond of this set. His smile became even more brilliant. Then Edgar Wizard condensed a memory orb and threw it to Raymond. "Bring the list of resources provided by the Naga tribe!"

Excitedly, Raymond quickly took out the list he had deleted from his waist bag and sent it over. But before Raymond could probe into that memory orb with his mental strength to check it, Edgar Wizard roared loudly. "Silver Thread Worm! Emma Waterweed! There are even Water Chestnuts!"

The sudden roar frightened Raymond. But soon Edgar's wrinkled old face appeared in front of Raymond's nose, almost hitting it.

"Four times! No, five times the price!" Shaking the list in his hand, Edgar Wizard shouted. "As the direct disciple of the great cultivator Edgar, you must get these materials for me!"

Raymond involuntarily tilted his head back in surprise and hurriedly avoided Edgar's stinky mouth. Then he pointed helplessly to the notes behind these materials and told Edgar Wizard that all three items had been reserved by the Transaction Tower.

Greatly disappointed, Edgar Wizard angrily walked around in the laboratory, then cursed the greed of the Transaction Tower and the shamelessness of Vice Dean Elton of the Wizard Academy.

The furious Edgar Wizard saw Raymond's puzzled face. He quickly explained.

Although these plants could be used to make rare potions, for the cultivator Edgar, these things were extremely valuable for improvement. If he had enough experimental materials, he could even greatly increase the yield of these plants.

"Depleting the pond to catch all the fish, depleting the pond to catch all the fish!" In the end, the disappointed Edgar Wizard angrily opened his magic door and immediately contacted the person in charge of the Transaction Tower and Vice Dean Elton.

But soon after, the purple-faced Edgar Wizard angrily ended the call of the magic door, sat down on the chair dejectedly, and cursed loudly.

Standing by, Raymond was reminded by this that he had only regarded these resources as considerable income before but had never thought of cultivating and improving these rare plants.

"Raymond! No matter whether you steal or grab them," Edgar suddenly stood up and rushed to Raymond, roaring. "The great cultivator Edgar needs these materials! As long as you can get them, all the cultivation techniques are yours!"

Raymond's eyes widened instantly. Although he still didn't know how many of these techniques Edgar Wizard mastered, Raymond knew that although Edgar Wizard was arrogant and conceited, he was one of the few in the Wizard Academy who could actually act as a wizard and was extremely generous to Raymond.

But Raymond would not agree immediately. He tactfully rejected Edgar Wizard's request. "Teacher, your request is really impossible. These things will be delivered directly to the Transaction Tower for settlement in the future. I think it is impossible to intercept some..."

Hearing this, Edgar Wizard's face turned red. But he completely ignored Raymond's explanation. He angrily pushed and shoved Raymond out of his laboratory.

In the end, he told Raymond that he had some important experiments to deal with, so he would completely seal off the top floor and not allow anyone to disturb him.

And before closing the laboratory door finally, the exasperated Edgar Wizard shouted loudly again. "Remember! The great cultivator Edgar needs these materials!"

Raymond stood dazedly in front of the tightly closed door, making him cry and laugh. Edgar Wizard's demand for materials made him confused.

But the magic fluctuations coming from the laboratory immediately drove Raymond out of the top floor in embarrassment. Soon the entire top floor was covered with layers of defensive magic fluctuations, the intensity of which even Raymond's chip could not estimate.

With a wry smile, Raymond finally had time to explore the memory orb given to him by Edgar Wizard. But as the information in the memory orb was accepted, an expression of surprise appeared on Raymond's face.

In the memory orb given to him by Edgar Wizard were two improved techniques.

One was to allow the wizard to use a trace of mental strength to maintain an auxiliary observation of the surrounding environment while meditating.

The other was to speed up the growth of plants, or even directly complete a growth cycle, by consuming the wizard's own magic power.

Quickly storing these two practical techniques into the chip, Raymond understood the essence of the two techniques. He couldn't help laughing secretly.

Although the plant growth technique was rare, Raymond would master it sooner or later.

But this thoroughly improved "Wizard's Eye" technique only needed to consume very little magic power to allow one to maintain 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring of the surrounding environment.

For Edgar Wizard, this technique helped him observe plant cultivation. But for Raymond, the use of this technique was really too great.

With the help of the chip, Raymond could turn his vision into 360 degrees through the recording function of the chip. As long as he cast this technique, the chip could include all the directions that were originally beyond his sight into the monitoring...
