Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems Chapter 145: 46 S-Grade Articles

The general studies wizards in the library system acted like an insurmountable barrier, blocking all unqualified articles.

Locke sighed slightly. 'Yuri, backed by Halen Vera's network, should have abundant resources for publishing articles. But that's not right, she's already been marginalized.'

Locke suddenly thought of his teacher, Witch Sophia, so he asked dwarven scholar Orr, "My wizard ntor is Witch Sophia. Can I query how many articles she's published and what grades they are?"

"Does this involve personal privacy? If so, forget it."

Dwarven scholar Orr laughed as if he'd heard a joke. "Other things might have privacy issues, but regarding the quantity and grades of published articles, I think most excellent wizards wouldn't mind others knowing."

Dwarven scholar Orr's eyes filled with nurous runes. "I'll use a general studies spell model, Query Technique, to look it up for you."

"Found it. Your wizard ntor, Lady Witch Sophia, is Lady Morgana's core student. She has vast academic resources, so naturally she's published quite a few articles."

"She started publishing from her third-class wizard apprentice period, with 211 total articles."

"During her third and second-class wizard apprentice stages, she published over 70 articles scoring below 60 points. But she also published 5 S-grade articles, 15 A-grade articles, 49 B-grade articles, and 72 C-grade articles."

Locke was surprised. "So many."

Dwarven scholar Orr sat behind the library counter, smiling. "Of course there are many. Lady Sophia is Lady Morgana's student. With all the research resources Lady Morgana has, just sharing a tiny bit with her makes publishing articles easy."

"Like the vampire you have, that was given to you by your wizard ntor, right? She gave you this vampire, so you can generate many articles from it. She can also lend it to your students and your team."

"Within a wizard ntor's network, if you're a key cultivation target, you can obtain concentrated resources... You can try publishing articles starting from third-class wizard apprentice."

Dwarven scholar Orr explained with a smile.

Locke nodded. "I see."

Articles in the southeastern quadrant's White Wizard Association couldn't have joint authorship, only individual publication was allowed.

So who one's wizard ntor was wouldn't be reflected in the articles at all.

However, Witch Sophia initially entered Lady Morgana's circle with Level 7 talent, naturally receiving the best treatnt. Starting from third-class wizard apprentice, she could leverage Lady Morgana's network to do various things.

As long as Lady Morgana had her students provide various resources and teams to Witch Sophia, combined with Witch Sophia's own intelligence, producing results and articles would be effortless.

'So this is the normal treatnt for Level 7 talent Children of Elents within the academy.' Locke belatedly realized: 'The reason I didn't receive such treatnt has two causes.'

'First, my initial talent was only Level 3, so Teacher Sophia's attention to was initially insufficient, only increasing later.'

'But I've only been a first-class wizard apprentice for two years total.'

'The second reason is that my wizard ntor, Witch Sophia, doesn't have her own network.'

Locke suddenly rembered... wasn't Lady Morgana this year's chief examiner for the formal breeder examination?

Locke's expression beca strange.

Teacher Sophia had said her relationship with this year's breeder chief examiner was very poor, yet they had a ntor-student relationship.

'I wonder what their real relationship is like.' Locke thought: 'Forget it, I'll just take the exam normally.'

'Whatever happens has nothing to do with .'

Locke looked at dwarven scholar Orr. "Scholar Orr, I'd like to query the number of articles Lady Morgana has published."

"Is that possible?"

Dwarven scholar Orr smiled. "Of course, and it's free, this is a first-class wizard apprentice's free right within the academy."

"Let use Query Technique to check. Found it, Lady Morgana has published 2,143 articles total in Lilith's Cottage's public library, but she pays annual confidentiality fees to seal her articles' specific grades, so only the quantity can be queried."

"The only publicly available grade is her S-grade article count, 46 total."

Dwarven scholar Orr explained to Locke, "Besides publishing S-grade articles herself, Lady Morgana probably has her students publish A-grade and below articles."

"After all, these article quantities can determine whether wizard apprentices can be rated as Lilith's Cottage's [Wizard Seeds]."

"As everyone knows, white wizards' logic for selecting wizard seeds is completely different from black wizards', it's comprehensive consideration across various fields: talent grade, certificates on hand, though those are mostly similar."

"So the number of published articles best demonstrates a wizard's talent level specifically."

Locke nodded thoughtfully. "Can I query Lady Morgana's specific articles?"

Dwarven scholar Orr said, "Certainly. But in the public library, only D-grade articles are completely free, C-grade articles are only partially free, so querying specific articles requires paying certain contribution points. If you don't have contribution points, you need to pay magic stones."

"In the public library, 1 contribution point equals 10 magic stones."

"C-grade article queries require 1 contribution point, B-grade require 5 contribution points, A-grade require 10 contribution points, S-grade queries... you currently don't have that permission."

Locke's face darkened.

So his newly obtained 50 contribution points could only query 5 A-grade articles' specific content. But from what he knew, contribution points were most importantly used to exchange for wizard secret realm entry opportunities, and so potions, magical plants, and alchemical items that could only be exchanged with contribution points from the academy.

Using them for queries seed too extravagant, especially since he had no particular experints requiring data queries.

Locke shook his head slightly. "Never mind."

This ant that if he ever needed to query large amounts of data in the future, he could completely use magic stones to purchase resources, while saving contribution points for things money couldn't buy, like wizard secret realm entry opportunities.

Wait, Locke suddenly thought, if he wanted to understand the peculiar bloodline in his body, perhaps he could purchase so materials here for preliminary investigation. It might be useful.
