I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 242 Making Money!
After submitting the "Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustment Protocol" file, Jieming stopped paying attention to it.

Because in the time that followed, he devoted almost all his energy to training the "Black Giant".

Time is always the cheapest thing for a focused wizard.

Ten years later.

The new crystal core, which combined the cores of a level three Yeti and a level four Lava Giant, finally stopped pulsating slowly under the interweaving and tempering of countless energy fields.

Once it had completely stabilized, the entire crystal core emitted a black light, as if it had swallowed up all the light in the laboratory!

As the initial burst of energy dissipated, a perfect "Level 4 Black Giant Core," as deep as obsidian yet containing blue and red star vortexes within, was successfully cultivated!

Jemin reached out and gently stroked the crystal core that was radiating terrifying pressure from a distance.

He could clearly feel the terrifying power emanating from the crystal core, a power that seemed to freeze and tear space itself apart.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, like that of an old father looking at his outstanding child.

Next comes the most crucial step.

All that is needed is to use this powerful and perfect core as the "mother" and, through that enormous incubation pool, to formally "hatch" the first true "black giant".

Upon arriving in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, Jemin carefully separated a tiny, rice-grain-sized fragment from the black core.

After activating his all-seeing eye to check and confirming that everything was normal, Jemin solemnly threw it into the incubation pool filled with specially made lava.

Then, Jemin went to the monitoring instrument next to him and, by reading the data that kept appearing on it, calculated the time required to raise a "Black Giant".

Immediately, his smiling face darkened.

The black giant nurtured by the level four "mother" core is indeed very talented!
Based on the energy model's calculations, this time at least one black giant with a biological level approaching level three can be cultivated!
Moreover, if it is properly nurtured, this black giant's biological level may even reach the peak of a level three being when it grows up.

However, the drawback is...

The energy required to nurture this black giant is truly terrifying!

The energy required to nurture the "Black Giant," a new species that combines two extreme forces, in the hatchery is dozens of times greater than that required to nurture an ordinary lava giant.

Furthermore, the "Black Giants" that are about to be born are of such a high level...

As a result, the energy that the incubation pool in front of us is starting to draw from the elemental planes is no longer sufficient.

"Damn..."

"Based on the current energy extraction efficiency of the secondary incubation pool, if there is no external energy supplementation and the incubation pool relies solely on its own energy for nurturing... the birth time of this black giant is conservatively estimated to be over a hundred years!"

"Moreover, due to energy supply limitations, only one can be conceived at a time!"

It takes more than a hundred years for one to be born!
In future high-end battlefields, these units might only be considered "elite cannon fodder"... What use are they?!

By the time we've built up our cannon fodder army, it'll be too late!

Jemin scratched his head in frustration, trying hard to think of a solution.

Regarding this energy gap, Jemin subconsciously thought of the large level-seven elemental pool he had ordered from his mentor, Clark.

According to Clark at the time, the elemental pool should be completed in a few decades.

Speaking of this... he actually sold everything he owned to pay the deposit.

However, the final payment for the 18 billion military merits of the level 7 large elemental pool is still nowhere to be found!

However, according to Professor Clark's original instructions, as his student, I should be able to apply for an internal interest-free loan and pay it off gradually...

Although, given his earning power at the time, it might have taken him two or three thousand years to repay this debt.

Thinking of this, Jieming subconsciously opened his personal terminal and checked his balance.

The next second, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

[Account Balance: 30121514586 Low-level Military Merits]

Three hundred billion!
Jemin subconsciously rubbed his eyes, even wondering if he was hallucinating from exhaustion during his research.

He counted again carefully, starting from the single digits, and finally confirmed that he had not misread it!
In just ten years!
The "Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustment Protocol" technology earned him a mere 30 billion in low-level military merit?!

Are you kidding me? !

It should be noted that the total price of the Level 7 large elemental pool that Jemin originally ordered was only 20 billion low-level military merits!

To pay that mere tenth of the 2 billion deposit, Jemin was forced to run to the interdimensional battlefield and fight a life-or-death battle with a living interdimensional being!
After returning, he worked tirelessly to refine more than 500 bottles of "Red Dust Elixir" before he could barely raise enough for the initial deposit!

The result... this seemingly insignificant "assistive technology" actually managed to pay the entire remaining balance for the level seven large elemental pool without him even noticing!

This sudden windfall shocked Jemin for a moment.

Only after repeatedly confirming the cold, hard numbers on the terminal were correct did Jemin manage to calm himself down from this huge surprise.

After calming down, he quickly figured out the key to it.

The reason why the [Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustment Protocol] was able to earn such a terrifying fortune in just ten years is mainly because, in the early stages, after receiving the official recommendation from the "artificial intelligence" Felix, all the major wizarding forces would, out of caution, buy a copy as a sample for internal experimentation and testing, regardless of whether they would actually use it.

With the endorsement of "official certification," sales naturally exploded.

After that, the speed at which they make money probably won't be so exaggerated anymore.

He tapped on the light screen, glanced at the income details for each year over the past ten years, and quickly confirmed his suspicions.

The first year's income accounted for almost 90% of the total income.

He speculated that in the future, once this technology is fully deployed, the revenue from the [Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustment Protocol] should stabilize at around 100 million low-level military merits per year.

After all, only low-level logistics wizards need the [Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustment Protocol], and logistics wizards already constitute a minority of the wizarding community. Furthermore, the main schools of thought using this device are alchemy, potion-making, and runic writing within the logistics field, which further reduces the number of wizards suitable to purchase the [Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustment Protocol].

Furthermore, not all low-level wizards who study these schools of thought would purchase this technology, so this estimated data should be considered quite reasonable.

However, this income is already very high!

Let alone a low-level wizard like Jemin who is still struggling at the bottom, even many high-level wizards above level six would probably be green with envy if they knew this number!
"call……"

In any case, this unexpected income has at least completely alleviated my financial difficulties.

With that in mind, Jemin contacted his mentor, Clark, almost without hesitation.

Once the communication was established, Clark's perpetually indifferent face quickly appeared on the screen.

Suppressing his excitement, Jieming tried to explain the reason for the contact in a calm tone: "Mentor, this is the final payment for the level seven large elemental pool I ordered."

After saying that, Jemin skillfully operated the terminal and transferred a huge sum of military merits, amounting to 18 billion, to Clark.

After receiving this huge sum of money, Clark, the mentor on the other side of the screen, remained silent for a rare moment.

Then, his deep eyes scanned Jemin up and down before he asked the first question that nearly made Jemin choke: "You... sold yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Jemin's face darkened, and he quickly explained the legitimate source of his assets.

Then, he asked nervously, "Mentor, when will that level seven large elemental pool be completed?"

Clark listened quietly to Jemin's explanation, a hint of satisfaction rising in the depths of his usually indifferent eyes.

However, he quickly regained his calm, almost indifferent demeanor.

Clark shook his head after hearing Jemin's question: "I've been researching that living plane in the Frost Plane all this time, so I haven't really been paying attention to the construction progress of that level seven large elemental pool."

Then, Jemin saw his mentor seemingly contacting someone through other channels.

Much later, Clark replied to Jemin:
"The main body of the element pool is complete. The next step is the final incubation and debugging. Based on this progress, it will be officially delivered in less than ten years."

Jemin was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the construction speed to be so fast.

The high price of a level 7 large elemental pool is naturally justified.

Putting everything else aside, this thing is touted as a "man-made miniature elemental plane".

In fact, it does.

Because the most basic core material for manufacturing this thing is a plane origin containing "complete fire element rules"!

What is meant by "complete fire element rules"?
Simply put, the amount of information about the laws it contains is theoretically enough to allow a wizard who knows nothing about fire to master an entire "fire element rule" from scratch, reaching the level six threshold!

That is... a whole thousand strands of origin!

The cost of just this one raw material alone reached a terrifying 10 billion low-level military merits!

Moreover, the materials needed to build a level 7 large elemental pool are not just the dimensional source.

Clark initially told him he was given a cost price, and considering the value of the various raw materials, he certainly wasn't lying.

After receiving the final payment through the terminal, Clark looked at Jemin and suddenly asked, "Your 'mandatory conscription' time should be coming up soon, right?"

Jemin was taken aback, then remembered the standard contract he had signed at the "border point".

The statement that it is an obligation for low-level wizards of the wizarding civilization to participate in interdimensional wars, while a reward for high-level wizards, is not just empty talk.

Although his mandatory military service, which was part of the academy, had already ended.

But that doesn't mean these low-level wizards can relax and rest easy from now on.

The contract signed during the registration at the "Boundary Point" did indeed contain a clause regarding mandatory conscription: "Low-level wizards of ranks one to three will have up to two hundred years of free rest after each interplanetary war. After this period, they will be forcibly conscripted to participate in the next interplanetary war."

However, for most wizards struggling at the bottom, this treaty is almost meaningless.

After all, most low-level wizards neither have the ability nor the financial resources to support themselves in continuous research in the laboratory for two hundred years.

They usually return to the battlefield long after they've exhausted their points or hit a research bottleneck.

In Jieming's case, Chun Chun was an absolute accident.

After doing a quick calculation, Jemin realized that he didn't have much "rest" time left.

Although it might barely survive until it takes over the level seven large elemental pool, it probably won't have time to make too many modifications and adjustments before it's thrown back into some unknown battlefield.

After thanking his mentor Clark for the reminder, and seeing that the other party had closed the communication, Jemin began to seriously consider his next course of action.

It seems that the work on the level 7 large elemental pool and the in-depth modification of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane can only be carried out after the next interdimensional war.

However, if we act quickly, we can properly test the true combat power of the "Black Giant" that we just developed in the upcoming interdimensional war!

With that in mind, Jieming no longer hesitated and opened the Magic Network terminal to begin his "squandering".

Since the large level 7 elemental pool is not available for the time being, he plans to purchase a large number of small elemental pools as temporary energy plug-ins to provide enough energy for the incubation pool and catalyze the birth of the black giant!

Judging from his "design" of the Black Giant race, as long as there is enough energy, he could forcibly shorten the incubation time of a "Black Giant" from one hundred years to within half a year.

Of course, the downside of doing this is that it consumes a huge amount of energy.

If converted to a small elemental pool, it means that a large amount of military merits would be required.

Fortunately, Jemin, who had just made a fortune, was quite wealthy and didn't care about the money!
If we act quickly, we can probably assemble a Black Giant combat squad before participating in the interdimensional war.

(This is the only chapter today. I'm experiencing a bit of writer's block, and I also need to work on the plot outline for the next dimension.)
