Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 23 New Uses of the All-Seeing Eye

Pei Ze was mentally prepared for the difficulties of learning to refine potions.

It might be a bit tough at first, but once you successfully make the first potion, things will get much easier.

Seeing Pei Ze's resolute expression, Yin Xue smiled slightly, said nothing more, and instead took out a piece of parchment and handed it to him.

"This is the formula for the brute force potion. I've already memorized it, so there's no use keeping it. I'll give it to you."

Pei Ze was slightly taken aback.

In order to become a pharmacist, in addition to having sufficient resources, obtaining drug formulas is also very important.

At the Tower Academy, all kinds of books and knowledge on pharmacy are free and can be borrowed from the library.

However, even basic potion recipes that don't qualify for higher ranks are not publicly available for free.

To obtain the formula, one can only purchase it from the logistics department, or become a disciple of a certain pharmacist and have it taught to them.

Of course, the latter usually requires money to purchase.

Wizards believe in the principle of equivalent exchange, and they rarely give away knowledge or resources for free, even to their own disciples.

The price will be slightly lower than outside.

Although the brute force potion is only a non-ranked potion, it would cost at least two or three hundred contribution points to buy from the logistics department, so Yin Xue's gift is quite valuable.

Pei Ze hesitated before saying, "Senior."

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Xue interrupted him, smiling brightly, "I have high hopes for your growth, consider this my investment in you."

"Junior, you're a guy, so don't be so fussy."

Having said all that, it would be pretentious to refuse any longer, so Pei Ze no longer hesitated and nodded to accept the formula.

I can always repay Senior Yin Xue when I have the chance in the future.

"Thank you, senior."

Seeing Pei Ze accept the formula, Yin Xue's eyebrows curved slightly and she said, "By the way, junior, although you have a very good learning ability, I still suggest you find a teacher. With a teacher's guidance, you can avoid a lot of detours."

Pei Ze's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Senior, what rank of alchemist is Lord Mo Weng?"

"The teacher is a level 5 pharmacist."

Pei Ze immediately abandoned the idea of ​​taking Mo Weng as his teacher.

A fifth-tier pharmacist is among the very top-tier pharmacists, even in Dawn City.

Unless one possesses exceptional talent, it's virtually impossible to be accepted as a student by such a powerful figure.

Pei Ze was self-aware enough to know that at least for now, he had absolutely no chance.

"But why would a pharmacist of this caliber be staying at the academy?"

Pei Ze was puzzled.

After leaving the academy, Pei Ze went straight to his apartment.

He planned to go back and finish reading "The Complete Book of Magical Pets" to sort out the magical pet issue before learning how to make potions.

A qualified magical pet can assist a wizard in battle and play a significant role.

Especially for wizard apprentices who have relatively limited combat skills, the role of magical pets should not be underestimated.

Once the contract with the magical pet is successful, Pei Ze's combat power will also increase significantly.

This matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

By the time I got back to the vicinity of the apartment, it was already getting dark.

Many crows still circled and hovered in the sky above the street, their hoarse cries echoing in the air.

Pei Ze looked up at the crows in the sky and felt a little regretful.

"It's a pity that the chance of a crow awakening a magical ability is too low, otherwise, transforming a crow into a magical pet would be quite nice."

With a sigh, Pei Ze was about to open the door to enter the apartment when a sudden inspiration struck him.

"The probability of a pet awakening a magical ability depends on the differences between the contracted individual and the wizard's mental strength level. Can I use the All-Seeing Eye to analyze these two factors and determine the probability of awakening a magical ability?"

Pei Ze's eyes immediately lit up.

Worth a try!

Thinking it and doing it, Pei Ze immediately turned around and looked around. He quickly selected a crow perched on top of a lamppost and threw a stun spell at it.

The poor crow didn't even have time to react before it tumbled headfirst off the lamppost, landing right in the hand of Pei Ze, who was rushing over.

"Omniscient, analyze the probability of this raven awakening magical abilities after it forms a contract with me and becomes a magical pet."

[Analysis requires 0.2 mental energy. Analyze now?]

"It really works!"

Pei Ze was overjoyed.

This is not just a confirmation of a guess, but also the opening of a completely new door for him.

Since the All-Seeing Eye can analyze the probability of crows awakening magical abilities, it can certainly analyze other creatures as well.

In other words, he will be able to use his all-seeing eye to detect the enemy's strength and abilities during battle!

This is undoubtedly an extremely convenient method!

"Actually, I should have thought of that earlier. Since the All-Seeing Eye can analyze my status attributes, it can definitely be used on other creatures as well. At most, it will just require a expenditure of mental energy!"

Pei Ze felt a surge of excitement and immediately began to silently recite the analysis.

Only three or four seconds later, the All-Knowing Eye returned the analysis results.

[After this individual is transformed into a magical pet, there is a 0.13% chance that it will awaken a magical ability.]

"...It's really low."

Pei Ze sighed and released his grip.

Once the little creature had regained consciousness and was freed from its confinement, it immediately flapped its wings and fled.

Pei Ze frowned as he watched the crows flying all over the sky.

Although he has the physique of a knight, catching a flying crow is still not easy for him.

Using spells is simple, but it consumes a lot of mental energy.

Even the least expensive Mage's Hand still costs 0.5 points of mental energy to cast once.

In this way, a maximum of thirty to forty crows can be analyzed per day.

At this rate, who knows when they'll find a suitable contract target?

and many more!

Pei Ze suddenly slapped his forehead and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"You're getting stuck on this. I don't need to do this myself at all."

The environment he had always been in led Pei Ze into the misconception that he had to do everything himself.

In fact, most wizards, including wizarding apprentices, would delegate chores such as collecting common materials to their attendants in order to have more time for meditation and studying knowledge.

This is also why wizards generally recruit followers.

Although he was only a wizard apprentice and not yet qualified to recruit knights, he could easily hire people to catch crows.

In this way, he can simply stay at home and wait for the crows to come to him so he can analyze them one by one.

If he doesn't expend mental energy to cast spells, he can analyze at least a hundred crows a day, and should be able to find a suitable target in ten days to half a month at most!

Thinking of this, Pei Ze's lips immediately curled up.

The city of Dawn was teeming with crows that cackled and flew about all day, disturbing many residents. As a result, they had to hire servants to drive away or catch the crows, and over time, the profession of crow catcher emerged.

Pei Ze remembered that there were many crow catchers in the vicinity.

Having made up his mind, he immediately put it into action, rushing to the dwelling of a crow hunter.

The process went very smoothly. Faced with the task of hiring a wizard's apprentice, the crow catchers agreed without hesitation, patting their chests and guaranteeing that they would complete the mission.

The price Pei Ze paid was merely the cost of a crow, which was worth 20 copper coins.
