“I’d like to give it a try.”

“Okay then, give me ten thousand gold coins, and I’ll get you ten seeds.”

“Are they available at the nature association?”

“Yes, Grandpa Antlers has a magic energy garden with over fifty Enlightening Flowers. There shouldn’t be a problem getting ten seeds.”

Lin Suo’s mouth twitched. Why didn’t she say so earlier? Ten thousand gold coins… He couldn’t afford it.

“Uh, Lia… I’m just a bookstore owner. I don’t have that much money right now. Can I give you two thousand as a deposit and pay you the rest over this month?”

“No problem, I’ll pay for you first.”

A rich lady…

He wouldn’t have been so unwilling to see her if she had revealed her true identity earlier.

“Thank you.”

Valia was stunned. Looking at Lin Suo’s sincere smile, her pretty face turned slightly red.

“Well, then… I’ll leave first and come back to see you tomorrow.”

“O…”

Valia ran out like a gust of wind.

Lin Suo was speechless, finally uttering an “okay” from between his teeth.

“She’s so strange. Sometimes she’s cunning as a fox, and other times she’s so innocent it’s unbelievable… Forget it, and I shouldn’t dwell on it. Having an Elven friend is pretty good.”

One day later, Lin Suo successfully obtained the seeds of the Enlightening Flower.

He then set up a sunny garden on the third floor.

Although Magi apprentices couldn’t absorb magic energy from the air, they could interfere with the movement trajectories of magic energy with their mental power.

In his spiritual vision, small dark blue light spots were in the air. They were magic energy.

Although the concentration of magic energy in Koster was low, it did not mean it was nonexistent. With magic energy present, Lin Suo could capture it through his mental power.

With all the necessary conditions met, the plan to create artificial magic stones progressed smoothly.

With the magic energy light spots and ordinary jade stones as materials, and using the principle of Logic Synthesis, he made artificial magic stones. The process was smoother than he expected.

In just one week, the whole sunny garden was surrounded by magic stones which were placed on the walls, floor, and ceiling at a distance of every half a meter. This caused the density of magic energy to become incredibly high.

He had used a total of 96 artificial magic stones.

Unlike natural magic stones, the magic energy in the artificial ones could not slowly restore after consumption and they were also prone to shattering. Lin Suo wasn’t quite sure of the underlying principles.

Before he learned whether there were items like his artificial magic stones in the Magi world, he couldn’t use them in the outside world. The loophole was too big.

The soil in his potted plants was the extreme product of a hundred rounds of synthesis from high-quality black soil he bought. Using them to plant the Enlightening Flower should not be a problem.

After planting the Enlightening Flower seeds, Lin Suo sealed the sunny garden before collapsing onto his bed, utterly exhausted from the week’s work.

While the consumption of synthesis power was insignificant, using it repeatedly drained him mentally. After his physical energy was exhausted, it started consuming his mental power. Once that was depleted, he would lose consciousness.

Come to think of it, he had yet to experiment with synthesizing two transcendent items. He had only touched the matter lightly, like synthesizing the petals and stem.

He imagined that the consumption would be even larger…

He decided to wait it out. After he got two spells, he would then try and see if spell models could be synthesized. If that was possible, could the natal magic circles of stage-one Magi also be synthesized?

As he drifted off to sleep, Lin Suo wondered about the future possibilities.

When he woke up, it was already the second day.

Days passed by, one after another.

His life was very regular. During the day, he managed the bookstore to disguise himself, meditated, took the reagent to improve his mental power, and enhanced his proficiency in practicing in various skills and arts.

At night, he practiced the knight’s breathing techniques, striving to break through to the Ultimate Knight level as soon as possible. He only slept when dawn was approaching.

It was said that after reaching the peak of the knight level, there would be a certain degree of increase in lifespan.

Among the information on his body condition, as shown by the magic cube, the bracket behind his age indicated his maximum lifespan. Now, it was 72!

This number would allow one to be considered long-lived in modern times, but compared to Valia, one was just a premature child.

Who wouldn’t want to be one of the longevity species? It was too enviable.

In a blink of an eye, it was already January.

It had been four months since his arrival, and today marked the fifth month’s beginning.

Koster’s weather was gradually getting colder.

As it was winter, the clothes of the passers-by became thicker.

Standing in front of the window, Lin Suo admired the lively scene of people coming and going and immersed himself in the familiar atmosphere of humans. Then, he went to the sunny garden as usual.

The growth period of the artificial magic plant, the Enlightening Flower, was very short. It could usually be harvested in about three months.

It had only been just over a month since he had planted the seeds, but his Enlightening Flowers had already started to self-pollinate. The seeds would fall into the soil after the flowering period.

Each plant could produce 3 to 5 seeds. As a result, the flower would no longer have the effect of enlightenment, but it was customary to have pros and cons.

Lin Suo only planned to pick five plants, while the rest would continue to be planted. Increasing the number of Enlightening Flowers was not a dream.

Besides, five plants could already produce 45 bottles of Enlightenment Reagent.

It was enough for him to use, and he could accumulate 15 bottles, find an opportunity to sell them, and earn money.

For the Enlightening Flower to grow so fast, Lin Suo had also paid a considerable price. Twenty-one pieces of the artificial magic stones had shattered in the growing period, and he would replace every broken piece. Though, synthesizing was an effortless task.

It was just that even after a month, his knight level hadn’t broken through yet.

The further he went, the slower his progress became. Every day, there was only a 0.0x point increase.

He suspected that it was because he was close to the limit of the path of the knights. The path was easy when others had walked it before, but as it got narrower, it was only a given that it became more challenging to walk through.

When he broke through to the Ultimate Knight level and fused the breathing technique, thus opening up a path that nobody had ever walked before, it would undoubtedly take more time.

Nonetheless, this was not a huge issue. After all, he had a cheat. He only needed to take it slowly. Any progress, no matter how small, was better than none.

“Scan!”

“I’m almost done with all my learning… I should be able to reach the Ultimate Knight level when the Original Beast Training Method reaches the red grade. What else should I learn? The art of sea navigation is a must since I’ll have to go out to sea in the future. Should I learn blacksmithing?”

Lin Suo pondered. Although he was a modern person, his knowledge of many things was only superficial. Learning blacksmithing would enable him to utilize the power of synthesis better and find ways to control the synthesis result more precisely.

Once he formed a skill with blacksmithing, he would understand many things each time he achieved Enhanced Limit-Breaking. As long as he understood some principles, he could probably even synthesize and construct high-tech products.

Mobile phones and computers were out of the question since they are beyond the scope of blacksmithing. However, firearms may be possible. He would have to find time to try it out.

He looked at his synthesized mechanical watch and realized it was already noon. It was time for Old John to pay him.

“It’s the time of harvest.”
