CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: TRAINING PROGRAM

Even a regular-grade potential potion series is beyond the financial reach of ordinary people; purchasing them requires a certain level of family wealth and connections, not to mention the so-called perfect grade.

Each potion manufacturer has its own secret formula and rarely changes the contents of a mature recipe. However, like how there are no two identical leaves, even the same formula, when processed by the same person, will produce potions with subtle differences due to the ether and traits contained in the spiritual materials, additionally affected by the Miracle Master’s skill and status during production.

The Miracle Master Studio under Military Pharmaceutical Research (abbreviated) represents the pinnacle of technology in Great Xia. The quality of their products is outstanding among similar offerings, with the ’Alpha’ label representing the finest batch, corresponding to the ’perfect’ suffix.

In the game, the Alpha potions from Military Pharmaceutical Research generally exhibit 1.5 times the effectiveness of those produced by civilian studios, accessible only to very few forces, requiring certain ’merits’ — essentially, completing a series of tasks — to qualify for purchase.

When ’potential potion’ and ’Alpha potion’ are combined, the value of these few potions exponentially increases, substantially bridging the gap between Vishdair and those Spirit Beast clan heirs.

Wow, rich lady!

Lin Guang couldn’t help but sigh internally but still waved his hand: "This is too valuable; I can’t accept it."

Conservative estimates suggest that selling a hundred Vishdairs wouldn’t come close to covering the price of these ten potions, equivalent to the cost of a somewhat remote apartment in the outskirts of Zhen Sheng City.

"This isn’t just for my personal apology, and you don’t seem like someone who would comfortably accept such things either."

"Therefore, it’s all in black and white, at a fixed price."

Dr. Kaiwen shook her head and pulled another contract out of the drawer, clearly prepared in advance, handing it to Lin Guang: "Take a look."

On it was a long title: [Zhen Sheng Experimental School Youth Spirit Master Development Plan Agreement]

Lin Guang glanced at it and understood immediately.

This is what they call a genius agreement.

Public schools are indeed responsible for compulsory education, but if one wishes the school to continue pouring resources beyond this, it certainly cannot be free.

By signing this black-and-white agreement, endorsed by the Great Xia Spirit Master Association, with ample binding force, it ensures to the greatest extent the prevention of ingratitude and opportunism.

He accepted the stack of papers and began flipping through them one page at a time.

Surprisingly lenient.

Removing unimportant content, generally speaking, Lin Guang only needs to do three things.

First, during the three years of high school, he is not allowed to transfer, nor participate in any official competitions under other forces’ names; otherwise, he must pay an astronomical breach fee, and post-graduation, the school may use his name for various promotions.

Second, cooperate as much as possible with Kaiwen in the Heart of Terra data collection.

The first point is straightforward; no one wants the talent they’ve nurtured at great expense to jump to someone else’s side. The second point is also what Lin Guang has been prepared for—after all, Kaiwen seems quite interested in his talent.

In exchange for these two points is incredibly generous nurturing.

Apart from periodically given potion resources, the school’s Spirit Pattern Library will allocate him a quota each semester, teach him necessary artificial spirit patterns, and provide a separate Meditation Room to accelerate his growth to the maximum extent. Additionally, a high-standard training room will be open to him, with a dedicated individual planning his upgrade strategy.

This means Lin Guang can get these supports without having to give extra in return, only needing to grow stronger at his own pace.

Without a doubt, the school, Dr. Kaiwen, and his goals are aligned—grow strong and achieve results in various fields.

Kaiwen needs Lin Guang and Vishdair to grow strong to research the Heart of Terra; the school needs to prepare talents for future competitions, and Lin Guang and Vishdair need the power to accomplish what they want.

After verifying, Lin Guang picked up a pen from the table and signed his name, then sincerely said: "Thank you, Dr. Kaiwen."

"No need to thank me, you earned it yourself."

"Is that so..."

As Dr. Kaiwen opened the drawer and took out the agreement, Lin Guang keenly noticed there were several other stacks of stapled paper inside.

If his response wasn’t such a firm refusal or had even agreed, he might have seen different versions of the contract.

"Yes, by the way."

"The school has already decided that you’ll represent first-year students in the exhibition match a month and a half from now, you should know this."

After a pause, Dr. Kaiwen continued: "My suggestion is, starting today, let me plan your high school training as much as possible. This way, collecting data will be more convenient for me, and I’ll personally allocate more resources for you."

"You can also choose not to agree, as the school has other teams that will make plans for you."

Thinking for a moment, Lin Guang nodded briskly: "In the future, I’ll leave it to you, Dr. Kaiwen."

Although Lin Guang has cleared many levels in the Spirit Battle Chronicles, that’s merely a game—when it comes to efficiently training in real life, his research couldn’t be as profound as the enigmatic Dr. Kaiwen’s.

"Alright." Dr. Kaiwen nodded slightly, casually closing the box, "There’s some stuff to deal with later, take it with you when you leave."

She continued:

"The feelings and determination towards a Spirit Beast and partner are crucial to becoming an excellent Spirit Master. Especially with the Equal Contract Technique you practice, the saying ’heart-to-heart, walk together’ is not empty words but a contract with oneself. Abandoning your partner destroys the contract and betrays yourself, preventing the contract’s light from reigniting."

As she spoke, Dr. Kaiwen gave Lin Guang a profound look, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, this conviction will be your strongest force; I hope you remember this."

"I will keep your guidance in mind." Lin Guang replied almost instantly.

"Let’s change the topic." Dr. Kaiwen pulled out a chair next to her, sat down, and brushed her forehand hair hanging down behind her ear, "I heard from Ouyang Wei that two days ago you told him the idea of becoming a researcher; is it to develop a cure for ore disease?"

"I won’t stifle your ambition, but that is indeed a very challenging path."

"Because almost nobody in this world cares about Terra’s beings—since no one contracts them, ore disease naturally won’t spread, leading to even fewer researching cures for ore disease."

"Great Xia may be vast, but how many researchers are willing to study ore disease without seeking profit?"

Lin Guang, however, smiled and shook his head.
