Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 106 Wanting to Give Up but Gaining

Despite the humble attitude of the old man, Yaro showed no sign of arrogance.

What's so great about borrowing the wisdom of two big names, Armand Fiso and Michaelson?

Moreover, Yaro had not forgotten his initial goal—to get closer to the wizard Bosco.

As long as this goal can be achieved, this knowledge will not be wasted.

You have to be willing to give up something in order to gain something.

"This is all your doing," Yaro smiled slightly. "To receive so many contribution points for no apparent reason, I should be the one thanking you!"

No matter how kind the old man appeared, Yaro never forgot his identity.

The seasoned hunter, a formal wizard known as the "Iron-Blooded Falcon," has set his sights on the mother, vaguely noticing his pursuers.

Only by demonstrating your value and showing your magnanimity can you lower his guard.

Those who forgo small gains are bound to have grand plans.

"Yaro Garner!"

Bosco abruptly stood up, his expression unusually serious.

Beneath his neat white hair, bright eyes shone with a sharp gaze, like a majestic white-headed eagle, fixed intently on Yaro, and said, word by word, "Listen to me clearly!"

"I would never, and I would never stoop to, stealing the intellectual property of others!"

"It was your idea; I won't take even a fraction of it!"

Seeing Bosco's strong reaction, Yaro was secretly pleased.

He had previously begged to do experiments together, but now he's saying this instead.

This precisely proves how much he valued the experiment, and also shows that it was indeed very unlikely that he would steal the experimental results.

That said, if Bosco really wanted to steal the experimental results, he could have simply bypassed Yaro and done it himself.

Since he had toilet paper and had listened to Aro's explanation, there was no need for him to make a request.

Although Yaro was pleased, he repeatedly protested his innocence: "Lord Bosco, you have misunderstood me!"

"It was the book you gave me that broadened my horizons. It made me realize that light can actually travel at a speed."

"Wasn't this device for detecting the speed of light designed because I knew all this?"

"You are my mentor in optics. If this experiment is successful, shouldn't you deserve credit?" Yarrow said, feigning grievance. "Shouldn't I thank you?"

"this……"

Although the wizard Bosco was experienced, he wasn't particularly wary of the 'young' Yarrow. Hearing Yarrow's 'sincere' words, he could no longer maintain his serious expression, and looked at Yarrow with a broad smile, sighing softly, "Good child, truly a good child!"

Yaro seized the opportunity to flatter him, saying, "It's all thanks to the excellent writing of my mentor; I have gained profound insights from it."

Bosco quickly waved his hand: "You only read one of my books, so don't call me your mentor. I don't want to get you into trouble."

To harm me?

What does this mean?

But am I afraid of this?

As long as we can build a closer relationship, we can consider other things later.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Yaro immediately spoke up: "You were the one who enlightened me; you are my mentor!"

Bosco shook his head and sighed, "My life is coming to an end; I don't have many years left to live."

Is his life coming to an end?

Great news! Fantastic news!

But... how much longer do you have to live?

During this time, will you be able to stay at the college without worry?

"Mentor, I..."

Just as Yaro was about to take this opportunity to express his feelings, Bosco suddenly snapped his fingers, a breeze swept over him, and then all the subsequent sounds disappeared without a trace.

Bosco continued, "I know you have high aspirations. You rejected Alice's invitation before, so you must have made a lot of determination to become my student this time."

"But I'm different from her."

"Because my lifespan is nearing its end, I have acted recklessly over the years and have offended too many wizards."

"It's fine to protect you under normal circumstances, but if I were to actually accept you as official students..."

"You've come at the worst possible time!"

Bosco sighed deeply, then said seriously, "Let's leave this topic at that, understand?"

Yaro glanced at Bosco, his brow furrowed, and nodded slowly, feigning hesitation.

As the breeze subsided, Yaro tentatively uttered an "Ah."

It's alright, you can make a sound now.

Bosco watched Yaro's actions with amusement. Seeing Yaro regain his senses, he straightened his expression and said in a deliberately authoritative tone, "Yaro, the 'Gear Detection Method' and the 'Eight-Mirror Detection Method' are extremely valuable. After careful consideration, the academy has decided to reward you with five thousand contribution points..."

No, you said earlier that my storage plan would cost 3,000, how come it's increased to 5,000 now?

Also, are you the only one here saying this? When did you discuss this with the academy?

Ignoring Yaro's strange look, Bosco continued, "The academy has decided to assign you a personal task: to implement the experimental plan and determine the specific numerical values."

"The mission reward is 20,000 contribution points and 500 magic stones. If the mission fails, the initial 5,000 contribution points will be taken back."

"During the mission, the academy will assign you a private laboratory. The mission will last for one month..."

What can you do in a month?

Besides, once this is over, what reason could I possibly have to get close to Wizard Bosco again?

Yaro quickly raised his hand.

Bosco paused slightly, then gestured, "Go on."

Yaro quickly replied, "A month is too short; we can't prepare anything!"

"Besides, mentor, weren't you supposed to be my assistant? How did it become my personal task again?"

Bosco smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered, I'm almost dead, why am I still so busy? So I don't want to be your assistant anymore, is that not okay?"

"No way!" Yaro feigned a wail. "Master, I haven't even learned alchemy yet! How can I possibly prepare all this by myself?!"

"Besides, I have nothing, Professor. I simply can't afford the cost of the materials!"

"Besides, this was originally a question raised by my advisor; I was just making a guess. How could you back out, advisor!"

"And also, Professor, as you know, this experiment simply requires one person..."

Bosco quickly waved his hand: "Stop!"

Rubbing his temples, Bosco was getting a headache from Yaro calling him "mentor" repeatedly. He said irritably, "The academy is busy arranging things for the new academic year. I don't have time to play games with you. You do your own thing first, and we'll talk when I have time."

Oh, you're not going hunting? That makes things easier.

Yaro obediently replied, "Materials..."

"The academy will give you one hundred magic stones!"

Yaro: "Time..."

"Extend it by two months, three months is the maximum!"

Yaro: "Alchemy..."

"You can ask me if you don't understand."

Yaro: "Manpower..."

"No, you're not allowed to do anything alone. Information is not allowed to leak out; the academy will be monitoring you closely!"

Good grief, so everything else can be negotiated, but I'm the only one who can do it?

However, the goal has been achieved. Now that we can ask him for alchemy advice, we will have the opportunity to gather information and spread misinformation later!

Yaro nodded quickly, "Okay, thank you, mentor!"
