Chapter 1109 Gift
Joan would like to continue his studies, but he has been admitted to the Advanced Law Research Institute of Midgard University for less than a semester, so it seems too ambitious to think about a doctorate now.
What's more, one of the admission criteria for doctoral candidates at Midgard University's Austrian Law School is to reach at least level 7 as a mage, and he has only been promoted to level 6 as a mage for a few days, and now he has not even reached the most basic standard. It's too early to think about this.
"Mentor, I have already written the first draft of the thesis you mentioned just now. If you have time, can you review it for me?"
"It's only been two days since you've been back to school, and you've already finished writing your thesis?" Professor Moriarty raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, "You must be working too hard!"
"Actually, I have been doing research on 'supernatural spores' during my underground exploration. The experimental data has been prepared, and the rest of the work is to consult the literature and write the first draft." Joan told the truth.
With a good idea, coupled with rich research samples, reasonable experimental design and data analysis, the skeleton of a paper is built, and the rest is nothing more than "filling in the blanks" according to a fixed format.
After returning to school, Joann only spent two days writing the first draft of his thesis on spore organisms in the Underdark, and he felt very satisfied with himself.
Professor Moriarty took the thick stack of paper manuscripts from him, and said while looking at them, "I'll take a look at it as soon as possible. If there are no major problems, you can submit it to the "Journal of Austrian Law"... and other something?"
"One more little thing." Joan took out a bottle of "Meditation Capsule" from the storage bag, "This is a potion I refined with two supernatural spores, which can effectively improve the efficiency of meditation."
Seeing his coy look, Professor Moriarty couldn't help being both amused and surprised: "Joan, don't you want to give me a present?"
"If I remember correctly, tomorrow is your forty-fifth birthday. This... small gift is not a respect. I hope you don't dislike it." Joan said a little embarrassed.
Professor Moriarty's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that this withdrawn, introverted and unsophisticated student would take the initiative to give gifts to others?
Joan, this kid, can't even remember his own birthday. He even made a joke because of this, and he can remember the tutor's birthday. From this, it can be seen that he, the tutor, has an extraordinary status in the hearts of the students.
Thinking of this, the professor's eyes showed a touch of emotion, and he stepped forward to hug his student vigorously.
"Thank you, boy, for the best birthday present I've ever received in my life."
...
Three days later, Joan received a reply from the editorial department of "Journal of Austrian Law", informing him that the manuscript he submitted had entered the review process.
Less than a week later, Qiao An received the reviewer's comments from the editorial department.
For his paper entitled "Spores in the Dark", the three reviewers gave more affirmation than criticism, and the overall opinion was to publish after revision.
"This means that your last paper on "Insectization" was selected for the "Journal of Austrian Law" by chance, and it was not the result of editor-in-chief Tennyson's operation."
"Your academic ability has really reached the level of publishing an article in the "Journal of Austrian Law."
"As for the "Absolute Law Review"... Hehe, I'm sorry, Joan, it's time for you to say goodbye to this 'preschool' in the arcane academic world."
After learning of the reviewers' comments, Professor Moriarty commented.
...
After the thesis was submitted, while waiting for the review comments, Joan was not idle, and immediately started another job - designing and manufacturing magic tools!
Winning the "Franklin Award" not only brought Joan an academic reputation, but the 3,000 Gold Duga bonus also greatly eased his financial pressure.
In addition to deposits of real money, Joan also accumulated a large amount of "credits" that can be used as money in school.
Counting the 10 practice points earned during this bloody tundra adventure trip, Joan accumulated a total of 45 practice points. After excluding the previously consumed points, there are still 26 points left.
In addition, he published two papers successively, earning a total of 70 academic credits.
When the two types of points are added together, the purchasing power on campus is close to 10,000 Gold Duga!
The campus of Midgard University is itself a self-sufficient "city within a city". Daily necessities for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as various materials necessary for academic research, can be purchased on campus, and the price is more affordable than off-campus, so Joan doesn’t need to worry about the depreciation of the nearly 100 credits he has accumulated.
In fact, compared with money and credits, Qiao An valued the "magic crystal" more.
During his explorations in the Underdark, he had a lot of dealings with the aborigines, and found that the currencies used by various ethnic groups in various places are different, and it is difficult to circulate among them. However, there is one thing that is recognized as the "universal currency" of the underground world, and everyone loves it. Willing to accept, it is the magic crystal!
The market price of a pound of magic crystals in the surface world is usually no less than 10,000 Gold Durga.
After this expedition, Joan earned a lot of magic crystals. Counting the original inventory, he accumulated a total of 1 pound and 12 ounces of magic crystals, which is 28 ounces-this is his largest fortune.
Joan doesn't care about the currency property of the magic crystal.
He is happy to spend money or other things to buy magic crystals from others, but the magic crystals in his hands will only have one ending-in the form of "enchanting stabilizer", the value will be condensed on the magic tool among.
The pocket was full of magic crystals, and Joan's mind came alive, and he decided to design a brand new magic tool.
His current economic situation is not bad, and he doesn't need to manufacture and sell magic tools to make money for the time being, and plans to make a piece of equipment for his own use.
During this subterranean adventure, Joann had a run-in with Claudia Bellamy, the "Dark Princess" of the Oaknell Dungeon.
Claudia's powerful strength makes him feel inferior, but what impresses him the most is not the various high-level magic spells that Claudia casts, but her "Dancing Sky Tower Shield" that can be controlled by remote control. .
After returning to school, Joan still couldn't forget the magic shield, and was inspired by it, and decided to make a Wukong shield that can automatically provide protection without holding it.
The core technology for making this kind of shield is the 1st-level spell "Dancing Sky Shield".
This spell has no restrictions on the material and shape of the shield, but has strict requirements on the weight of the shield, and the specific upper limit of the weight is proportional to the level of the caster.
Counting the two additional levels of "mythical mana", Joan is now equivalent to a level 8 arcane spellcaster, who can float a tower shield weighing no more than 400 pounds into the air and remotely control it with his mind.
