Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 164 Invitations from Various Studios

Lilith's Cottage, evening.

The moment Locke stepped out of the examination hall, he immediately saw that there were already many people waiting outside. Just like with the Potions Master Assistant exam, there were already many job offers waiting outside the examination hall.

These people quickly identified Locke as the only one who passed the breeder exam.

A group of people rushed to Locke's side, including second-class wizard apprentices and even first-class wizard apprentices who came personally.

"Master Breeder Augustine, I am an assistant at the Freke Brothers Studio. I've come to invite you to consider working at the Freke Brothers Studio. Our studio recently received an order from the academy to produce a batch of high-level magical plants called Rain-Cleansing Vines. We need excellent breeders like you to join us... We can offer you a generous subsidy of 1,200 magic stones per month..."

"Master Breeder Augustine, our workshop also needs your participation. We currently have several small wizarding organizations in the vicinity commissioning us to cultivate improved varieties of magical plants for specific purposes... Although we only distribute 900 magic stones per month, our workshop has several medium-sized public laboratories that we can provide for your use free of charge!"

“Junior Locke, I am Lancaster, a breeder. On behalf of Green Seed Studio, I would like to extend an invitation to you.”

A first-class wizard apprentice in the crowd, with a confident smile, suddenly spoke. As soon as he said this, not only Locke, but also the various breeding studios around him who wanted to recruit people looked at him in surprise.

Green Seedling Studio is one of the largest breeder studios inside Lilith House, with a history of at least five hundred years.

Getting into this studio isn't easy; it's a one-person-one-job situation.

It is said that breeders who come from there have a high probability of becoming wizard seeds and advanced breeders.

Currently, the wizard seed [Mary], which is bred by Lilith's Hut, is produced by the head of Green Seed Studio.

Some people in the crowd whispered among themselves.

"That Qingmiao Studio, which claims to train future top breeders for the academy, is recruiting here at the breeder exam site. They're actually short-staffed lately."

"I heard that Qingmiao Studio has recently received a lot of orders for special magical plants from the academy's combat departments. They are all contracts. They may be too busy lately, so they want to recruit a certified breeder who has just passed the breeder exam and train him from scratch."

"Qingmiao Studio has really made a fortune from the war recently. The number of magical plant cultivation orders they have now is three to four times that of peacetime. Small breeding studios like ours can only do some magical plant cultivation for small wizarding organizations around us. We don't have as many projects as they do. They look down on our tiny little projects."

Just like potion master assistants, who have to choose their own research direction, formal breeders have also passed the stage of general education and entered the stage of choosing their favorite niche areas for focused research.

Therefore, the advantage of senior breeders is their rich experience, but the disadvantage is that their experience may not be relevant to the main projects currently being undertaken by the studio.

Therefore, the large breeder studios within the academy all have the habit of training breeders from scratch.

The Lancaster breeder, with a confident smile, said to Locke, "Junior Locke, I've seen your resume."

"Although your resume doesn't have many outstanding experiences, you have three excellent points. First, your advancement speed is exceptionally fast, and second, you also passed the potion master assistant exam."

"Finally, your very high ranking in the preliminary rounds of the breeder competition really attracted us, and even... caught the attention of Senior Mary."

The Lancaster breeder said, "Our Seedling Studio is willing to pay you 1,500 magic stones per month."

"At the same time, Qingmiao Studio has a very mature system. As long as you perform well in the future, we have a reasonable promotion system. You can be like me, promoted from an employee hired by the studio to a general partner, and enjoy a portion of the studio's annual profit, instead of just receiving a salary."

Lancaster continued, “As long as you publish enough high-quality articles and create new projects for the studio, you can advance to Senior Partner in the future.” “Becoming a member of our studio’s decision-making body and officially becoming a First Class Wizard Apprentice with a studio will greatly enhance your social status.”

"Of course, once you join the studio, you will also have to follow the studio's arrangements for your plantation, planting the corresponding magical plants and conducting the corresponding magical plant research according to the guidance of our Green Seed Studio."

This was clearly what Lancaster wanted, hence the slight gleam in his eyes when he spoke of it.

Lancaster added, "The current executive partner of Seedling Studio is Senior Mary. She can even set aside some time each month to design the types of magical plants you will grow in your future plantation and the direction of your future magical plant research..."

"I really think highly of you. Do you want to join us, junior Locke?"

Locke frowned slightly. Joining these studios was essentially just working for someone else.

This is the same as going to a therapy center to become a therapist.

As for the subsequent promotions to partner, senior partner, or even executive partner, that's just the usual tricks of those studios/organizations.

The higher the level of the studio, the better the benefits, but the greater the restrictions on the breeders. In particular, the Green Seedling Studio even intervenes in the breeders' research on magical plants.

This is quite rare.

Because some wizard mentors also like to interfere with their students' research on magical plants, such as Lady Morgana, Qingmiao Studio has undoubtedly had some conflicts with these wizard mentors.

This also demonstrates the confidence of Qingmiao Studio, a long-established studio within the academy that is almost becoming a permanent institution within the academy.

Of course, it's unlikely that students from those prestigious universities would lower themselves to join these studios.

Locke had no intention of joining these studios.

The average wizard might obtain a breeder's certificate to make it easier to get into a better studio, where they can earn money, access experimental resources, and participate in projects at the first-class wizard apprentice level.

These are things they might not have been able to obtain on their own.

But I'm different. I've created several magical plant projects myself, especially the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.

I have absolutely no need to join any studio; it would be a waste of my time.

Moreover, Mary herself remembered that her ranking in the White Wizarding Association preliminary competition seemed to be several places below hers.

Locke shook his head at the confident Lancaster. "No, I have no intention of joining any studio."

"Lancaster".

Locke didn't use the title "senior" for a simple reason: he could sense that the other party's magical power was only around 300, even weaker than that of Anglu and Aisi.

Although he was a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice, his magical power was already 455. Therefore, he always felt a little awkward when this person called him "junior brother".
