I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world
Chapter 84 New Mission
Jemin's days seemed to return to a peaceful rhythm.
Until this day, he received a mission notification from his mentor, Clark.
"Won't we have to provide strategic reserves again like before?!" Jemin looked at his mentor Clark warily.
The last mission exhausted him, and he even developed some psychological trauma from it.
"I can't accept this job anymore, I'm already very busy..."
"Don't worry, the battle in the Shadow Dimension is going smoothly, and there's no need for any demonstrations lately." Professor Clark looked up from a pile of messy papers and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"It's almost time for the new year's application of aptitude enhancement potions. This time, you'll need to carry out an application task in a specific area. The academy will provide the application equipment and routes... This is a simple task and won't take up too much of your time."
Hearing this, Jemin was even more puzzled. Instructor Clark was right; tasks like splashing aptitude potions were indeed not troublesome.
The so-called application of aptitude potions is a traditional method used by wizards to modify planes.
As wizards explore and expand the endless planes, their need for fresh blood grows ever greater.
The losses from war, the conquest of new planes, the transformation of new knowledge, and the breakthroughs in scientific research all require a continuous stream of talent.
Given that the probability of a naturally occurring human population having wizarding potential is extremely low, wizarding civilizations have developed an efficient "population optimization" mechanism.
It's unclear when it started, but wizards have made it a habit to regularly and extensively distribute aptitude-enhancing potions throughout the planes they rule.
These diluted aptitude-enhancing potions will be distributed throughout the plane by wizards in a manner similar to rain, in order to gradually improve the average aptitude level of humans within the plane.
This kind of transformation is gradual and subtle, and it doesn't require immediate results.
Furthermore, when highly qualified individuals unite, the likelihood of producing offspring with even higher qualifications is slightly higher. If this continues, given enough time, one day we will achieve an extraordinary level of popularity where meditation can be practiced by all humans in the entire plane.
The subordinate planes of Norren Workshop are divided into two parts.
One part consists of core planes, those ancient planes numbered before number 10. They have undergone extensive transformation and have not only achieved the goal of having extraordinary talents in all their inhabitants, but also have an extremely high average level of talent among their population.
The other part consists of planes that were re-established after later expansion, including planes from number 10 to over 130, such as plane Noren 13 where Jemin is located.
The Noren 13 plane where Jemin lives did not have a very long period of talent transformation compared to those core planes, lasting only about 200 to 300 years. Therefore, the average talent growth of humans in the plane is not significant, and the proportion of those who can step into the extraordinary realm is not high.
For this reason, the wizards have maintained the medieval standard of living and technology in this plane, and have not revealed their extraordinary existence in order to ensure the stability of the social structure.
Only when the proportion of the population capable of practicing meditation reaches a certain level will wizards gradually reveal the existence of extraordinary powers and guide ordinary people to come into contact with them.
As the proportion of superhumans increases further, the technological and production levels of the plane may even be raised to meet the growing needs and psychological demands of superhumans.
If it's a plane like the core plane where everyone has a talent level of one or higher, the level of technology there could even reach the level of a future world similar to those in science fiction novels.
Because by then, even the most ordinary person in the plane will be able to use supernatural powers, and equipment that operates based on supernatural powers can be distributed without any scruples, achieving a leap in technology.
Of course, in addition to the humans of the orthodox wizarding world, the wizarding civilization also has many servant races.
Although their strength varies, the proportion of extraordinary individuals among those who can become servants is generally quite exaggerated, mostly around 100%.
Furthermore, the wizard civilization acquired a great deal of knowledge that could enable ordinary people to ascend to the extraordinary while conquering various dimensional planes. In fact, the wizard civilization itself also possessed many technologies that could transform ordinary people into extraordinary beings.
Even with such convenient conditions, the wizarding civilization still did not lower the bar for creating extraordinary individuals.
As things developed, this knowledge either became obsolete or was absorbed into the wizarding system.
The main reason for this choice is simply this: the wizard civilization is too powerful!
While knowledge that allows ordinary people to potentially gain extraordinary powers is effective, it mostly only produces weak superhumans, making it too inefficient.
For the existing wizarding civilization, weak superhumans who cannot advance knowledge have no purpose and only increase the cost of management.
For example, an ordinary alchemist, once he has mastered human transmutation and artificial soul technology, can single-handedly produce a large army of superhumans, provided he has enough resources.
A sixth-level alchemist like Clark could even mass-produce fourth-level wizards using an assembly line, and the elite units he produced could even reach the same level of sixth.
For such beings, even if their extraordinary knowledge could enable ordinary people to produce extraordinary individuals in large numbers, it would be meaningless.
Therefore, unless the number of gifted individuals in the entire civilization system is so large that it cannot be concealed, wizards will never open the path to the extraordinary for ordinary people without talent.
After years of development, the wizards finally confirmed that only high-ranking wizards truly had any significance in the wizarding civilization.
Things like wizarding academies are essentially just cradles for producing higher-level wizards, and wizarding apprentices are merely waste products in the process of selecting high-level wizards.
Therefore, even in a "newly" developed plane like Noren 13, even if the number of talented individuals is low, Noren Academy still only accepts apprentices with talents of level three or above, without any intention of changing the entry requirements.
After all, the test of a wizard's talent is related to innate mental strength and soul strength. A person with high talent may not necessarily be intelligent, but a person with intelligence will definitely not have low talent.
Wizards consider it too "cost-effective" to cultivate those with subpar talent; their only purpose is to produce more talented individuals.
This is the wizard civilization, a civilization so rational it borders on cold-blooded.
However, as a beneficiary of this system, Jemin had no objections.
After all, although it seems to block the choice path for most people, even according to his moral values, the wizards take quite good care of their own race's members who lack talent.
