Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat

Roy thought Soraya would produce results quickly and then get them back to normal breathing, but to his surprise, a month passed.

During this time, Roy couldn't urge her, after all, it was a request from a subordinate to a superior. According to Soraya, she was delaying to minimize the risk and prevent harm to Roy and the others.

As a result, she left the cabin more often, seemingly to find subjects for her experiments.

While Roy was at the manor, he heard a rumor from the well-informed Malena: Lord Histor secretly transferred a small squad of soldiers from his private army to the vicinity of the manor, but after that, the soldiers seemed to have vanished into thin air and never appeared again.

Marley seemed quite interested in this mysterious and unknown phenomenon, but Roy, who knew the truth, was not so optimistic.

So this is what the experimental subjects were...

During this month, some teenagers gradually learned to breathe normally and caught up with their progress. Roy and Karazhan, however, did not waste time on this and instead devoted all their efforts to learning.

Karazhan is still reading "Ancient Byron," while Roy entered the learning phase of metal element basics more than twenty days ago.

The first book he read was called "Fundamentals of Material Science," and its content was extremely rich.

"Fundamentals of Material Science" proposes that all things in the world are composed of four basic elements: water, earth, fire, and air. These four elements can transform into each other; for example, water evaporates into gas when heated, and gas sublimates into water when condensed. Fire burns away its contents and turns into dust. In addition, the basic elements can be mixed in specific proportions to create various fused elements such as lightning and ice.

Subsequently, the founding wizards of the alchemy school made a groundbreaking proposal: the theory of particles. They pointed out that each element corresponds to a unique, non-renewable particle, and it is by rearranging the arrangement of these particles and adjusting their proportions that the cross-class transformation and deep fusion of elements can be achieved.

Today, the alloy forging, potion-making, and even the enchanting techniques of magical artifacts in the wizarding world are all based on the repeated verification of the particle theory.

Then, some wizards proposed the "ether theory," believing that a fifth element, ether, existed and was the carrier of matter. Unfortunately, this was later refuted by wizards...

In addition, through "The Foundations of Material Science," Roy also gained a good understanding of various common metallic minerals, including elements he was already familiar with such as iron, copper, gold, and silver, which are found on the periodic table, as well as various extraordinary metals with excellent properties.

Next came the various properties of these metals, so many of which made Roy's head spin.

Of course, "Fundamentals of Material Science" also discusses various common non-metallic materials that can be used as solvents, catalysts, and fuels in metallurgy.

After reading it, he felt that the textbook was not very beginner-friendly. Even he, a student who had undergone nine years of compulsory education, found it difficult to read. It would take a long time for someone with no foundation to understand the meaning of a single word, let alone understand it in combination.

He suspected that the wizards might have deliberately made the teaching materials so obscure and difficult to understand, so that novice apprentices would have to spend magic stones to find a teacher to teach them, in order to make huge profits.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

His next book is "Basic Theory of Alchemy". Compared to "Fundamentals of Material Science", this book is even more different from the knowledge he had in his previous life. He had never even heard of some of the experimental procedures, and it even reveals information about the inscription of magic circles, which is said to be the basis for enchanting the surface of matter.

Therefore, he found the book even more difficult to read, and by the time Soraya said a month later that her experiment was over and could be applied to them, he had only read half of it.

But compared to Karazhan, who only managed to read half of the Ancient Byronian, this is a world of difference.

……

Are you ready?

Soraya asked telepathically.

The desk, usually piled high with books, now had several syringes on it, and a 200ml beaker contained an unidentified dark green liquid.

Roy nodded solemnly. His True Sight revealed the green liquid to be tree frog venom, which had a nerve-paralyzing effect; small doses injected would not affect future intelligence.

Roy wasn't really sure how much "small dose" meant, but he knew that if all 200ml were injected into his body, it certainly wouldn't be considered a small dose.

Soraya picked up the syringe filled with dark green venom, aimed it at the vein in Roy's elbow, and gently pricked the needle. As the venom was slowly injected, a cool, tingling sensation spread along Roy's veins. He felt a slight heaviness in his arm, and his brain was issuing a warning.

An average adult would lose consciousness with less than one dose, but Roy's mental attributes were too strong, so Soraya drew another dose and continued the injection.

Each vial contains 20ml, and 40ml has already been injected...

Roy's reactions became sluggish. By the time the third vial of venom was halfway injected, Soraya's figure in front of him gradually blurred, the sounds around him became distant and hollow, and his forearm involuntarily slumped down.

The ability to think rationally is gradually stripped away, and only instinct remains in the body's consciousness. However, that instinct is also suppressed due to the paralyzing effect of the venom.

It's almost done.

Soraya immediately realized this, stopped injecting, and waved her fingers in front of Roy, trying to transmit her thoughts into his brain, but to no avail.

A faint golden glow emanated from her fingertips, and as her cool fingers touched Roy's forehead, an invisible stream of pheromones seeped into his brain.

This is one of her bloodline abilities—Swarm Command.

The template for normal breathing is broken down into thousands of tiny action units, which directly act on the neural nodes in Roy's brain that control breathing. At this moment, Soraya is the queen bee, and he is the hardworking worker bee.

Although the instruction was extremely complex, bee colonies excel at executing complex commands. Otherwise, how could they have built such ingenious honeycombs?

The information was transmitted to Roy's motor nerves, and he began to move, albeit very slowly, but it was enough for his breathing.

After repeating it several times, his brain gradually wanted to slack off. Although the breathing method subtly transformed his physique, it was not so easy for his brain to perceive, thus causing his brain to become lazy.

When the brain slacks off, other organs have to follow suit.

In such situations, one should appropriately provide benefits that even the brain can instantly perceive.

Just like training AI, to train a good AI player, you need to reward it when it scores and punish it when it loses.

Soraya's offer to Roy was the ultimate pleasure.

She activated a bloodline ability she had previously demonstrated: the electric signal transmission of an electric eel.

The electrical signals she sent were precisely controlled within a range that was absolutely safe, yet strong enough to strongly stimulate the nerves.

The target is the nucleus accumbens, which is directly related to addiction.

The electric current is injected at the end of a breathing exercise, forcing the nucleus accumbens to release large amounts of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and endorphins, producing an instantaneous and intense feeling of ecstasy.

Even when Roy was unconscious, his body made some intense reactions.

This reaction lasted for a full 24 hours.
