Chapter 697: Chapter 200: Rebirth from Fire_2

For a project as large-scale as the “construction” project of the Palo Sage army, standardization was mandatory.

Therefore, this time around, Link was set to develop a new potion to be used as an implant carrier.

Its function was similar to that of tattoo ink.

Most of the day was spent concentrating on development.

Even though the two were focused on their experiments and hadn’t spoken a word, Jasmine felt very secure with the familiar feeling of companionship.

Companionship was just like that.

...

No need for too many words.

Knowing that the other party was right there, each doing their own thing, was comforting.

As dusk fell, the two stopped what they were doing, cleaned up their experiment remnants, and exited the laboratory side by side.

“Let’s take a walk.”

Upon exiting the elevator and landing on the ground floor, Jasmine suddenly made a suggestion.

She found herself missing the days when she had followed Link around the campus every day after turning over a new leaf.

Back then, there were no vehicles. They had to walk everywhere on campus.

Among the trees, under the setting sun, and in the dawn, the shadows of the two mirrored each other at different times, casting different lengths.

But one thing remained constant.

Their shadows were always incredibly close to each other.

Looking back now, it seemed that those days were incredibly beautiful.

Jasmine longed to experience that feeling once again, to relive those days of past.

“That sounds good.”

Link agreed.

Shoulder to shoulder, Jasmine deliberately moved to Link’s left side. The two started walking towards the villa that was quite far away.

With the setting sun at their back, their shadows lengthened slightly.

From the angle the light fell, their shadows overlapped, making it seem like they were embracing each other.

“This is so nice.”

As they walked, Jasmine breathed out a sigh in admiration.

Link smiled subtly, offering no resistance as Jasmine slipped her right hand into his.

The two walked for nearly an hour before they reached the villa.

“I had a great day, Link.”

Jasmine hurried up the steps, standing on the porch overlooking Link, grinning, “Thinking of accompanying me, walking home with me, all of those made me happy. Thank you, Link.”

Saying that, she jumped up and threw herself into Link’s arms.

With a smack, she planted a kiss on Link’s cheek. Jasmine then slipped off and ran into the villa with a bounce in her step, without even thinking about dinner.

After all, even if she skipped ten meals, a second-level witch wouldn’t starve.

Link did not completely comprehend the change in Jasmine’s mood.

But he enjoyed seeing it and accepted it willingly.

Link entered the villa, rejected the intelligent steward’s dinner offer, and went straight up to his study on the second floor.

Not long after he sat down, Link received a notification from the academy while he was outlining a standardized procedure for implanting “construction” directly into the wizard’s body.

The verdict on the failure of the assassination on the Shadow City’s Outland Colonization Team and the robbery of the Saint Heritage inheritance mission had been handed down.

Opening it up, Link was quite surprised.

The academy didn’t deduct Link’s “Academic points” and instead gave them considerable rewards without any negative remarks.

After carefully going through the notification, Link couldn’t figure out why the rewards were granted.

“Good things also happen unexpectedly?”

Link mumbled under his voice, but his heart didn’t rejoice.

There must be something fishy about an abnormality.

The academy’s handling of this situation could be perceived as both good and bad news for Link and other wizards involved in the mission.

The good part was that there were no losses, and their record remained intact.

The bad part was that they could easily become targets for criticism.

This kind of information was publicly available.

All the wizards of the academy could look it up.

What would other wizards think when they found out that Link and the others had failed in their mission, but instead of being punished, they had received rewards?

If the academy gave specific reasons, there wouldn’t be any issue.

But the absence of such reasons could stir up discussion and foster bias.

People are not afraid of scarcity, but rather, of inequality.

After briefly considering the potential consequences, Link suppressed these thoughts and didn’t make further assumptions.

What’s done was done. There was no benefit in worrying about events that could or couldn’t happen.

Let it be.

Closing the notification, Link continued writing the incomplete standardized operating procedures.

When the procedure was finalized, Link left the study and moved to the bedroom.

Using the “Mind Closure Technique” as a medium, he entered a mysterious state and, incidentally, initiated a deep meditation session.

The “Universe Meditation Method”, after a period of self-adjustment and optimization, had become quite different from Link’s original version.

Link did not interrupt this transformation as he was probing into some matters.

The progress in this exploration wasn’t very satisfactory.

Yet, the unexpected gains were quite substantial, of which the meditation technique was just one.

Importantly, Link discovered he could first simulate in the Sea of Consciousness Little World, weigh the pros and cons, and then decide on the actual development strategy and evolutionary path for the “Little World”.

Thus, the Sea of Consciousness Little World basically served as a virtual simulator for the real “Little World”.

It allowed for countless trials and errors to find the best development strategy and evolution path for the real “Little World”.

Franda and Conelia were responsible for the simulation.

In the past few days, during Link’s mission, Franda had to take on the important responsibilities of reconnoitring and reverse summoning.

Conelia became the main simulator.

Now, Link planned to review the results of Conelia’s work.

Perhaps due to her identity as a Fire Elemental Spirit, all of Conelia’s simulations were biased towards a fire attribute.

If it wasn’t a volcanic eruption causing the extinction of species,

it was a meteorite fall igniting a sky-wide fire that led to the ruin of species.

After going through the simulation records, Link was at a loss for words.

The evolutionary course of life in the real “Little World” indeed took a wrong turn when the fourth evolution didn’t completely succeed from the very beginning.

Even after completing the fourth evolution, only part of the course got corrected.

A significant proportion of organic life kept plunging into a Cthulhu-world-like divergence.

But did they have to be annihilated just like that?

This destructive impulse was truly fitting for a Fire Elemental Spirit.

“Milord, how was Conelia’s performance?”

Franda’s voice, tinged with suppressed laughter, echoed at the bottom of Link’s heart.

“Milord, how was my performance?”

Then came Conelia’s voice, filled with an eager anticipation for praise.

“It was okay.”

Not wanting to curb Conelia’s enthusiasm or to lie, Link opted for a diplomatic answer, typical of his previous world’s ethnic characteristics.

“Hehehe…”

Franda giggled happily.

“Hahaha…”

Conelia also started laughing jubilantly, her laughter as light and pleasing as wind chimes.

Ignoring the laughter of the two, Link prepared to exit the Sea of Consciousness and sleep.

Suddenly, he noticed an inconspicuous detail in one of the simulation records.

“What’s this?”

Link immediately put aside his thoughts, pulled out that simulation record, and magnified the detail.

This was the third simulation conducted by Conelia.

She had set a perverse disaster where all the active volcanoes in the “Little World” erupted simultaneously.

Lava overflowed, fires reached the heavens, and everything was burned.

Thick volcanic ashes blocked out all the sunlight.

All organic life faced their darkest hour, a catastrophe.

Countless species, normal ones or those with Cthulhu-like tendencies, fell and went extinct, one after another.

After the brief but extremely brutal lava disaster, there came the ice age.

The species that had survived the long ice age and those bred through natural evolution finally welcomed a flourishing and bright era.

The small detail that Link had previously ignored was hidden in the transition period between the ice age and the bright era.

A primate, born again through nature, briefly appeared and then disappeared.

This discovery left Link astonished.

Even though in the simulation, the primate wasn’t able to adapt to the sudden climate change and died in the darkness before the dawn, failing to reproduce further.

But it was a primate, a primate possessing a certain degree of intelligence!

With proper handling, no matter whether this primate could evolve into a human being, it had the potential to become a Servant Soldier.

Once Link was promoted to Sage, he could reduce expenditures related to this field.

He might even achieve abundant financial gains.

Sage Palo had already conceived the idea of selling or leasing Fairy Servant Regiments imbued with “Barbaric” series constructs. By creating resonance amplification, they had the potential to exhibit surprising collective combat power.

Earning money was nothing to be embarrassed about!
