Chapter 64 Woodpecker's Hut, Barbara
Yar handed over the data report and said, "Envoy Kelly, the experiment report is here."
Kelly roughly snatched the data report from Yar's hand.
If these sheets of white paper weren't of decent quality, this snatching would probably have torn the data reports to shreds.
Kelly looked at the new data report.
She frowned.
A hint of displeasure flashed through my mind.
Although it was still a failure, this data report was enough to salvage Yar and his team's previous performance playing Wizard cards.
Kelly said, "Okay, this research report is passable. But a failure is a failure."
"Also, one person in your data report did not submit a data report."
"According to the regulations, since this person did not write a data report, it is equivalent to him not having any experience in participating in this research."
After Kelly finished speaking, Chris lowered his head.
Kelly was talking about him.
However, Chris felt that no one else was to blame.
Yar asked him to write a data report, but Chris himself was not up to the task.
After confirming the results, Kelly prepared to leave.
Yar spoke up, saying, "Envoy Kelly, I... I would like to request an extension for the research lab."
Upon hearing this, Kelly turned her head, a sneer playing on her lips.
"Yar, although the special envoy has the right to extend the research lab's deadline, exercising this right also carries certain risks for the special envoy himself."
"You've already invested a lot of resources and time in this research, but it still hasn't been successful. I can't risk vouching for such a high-risk project."
Kelly glanced at the disappointed Yar and the others, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Hmph, how presumptuous of them."
After Kelly finished mocking him and left...
Yar sat down in a chair, his face filled with exhaustion and resentment.
At this moment, Yar was completely different from the relaxed Yar that Leo had seen when he first arrived.
It's easy to abandon research that offers absolutely no hope.
But once you see promising research, it becomes very difficult and you feel very unwilling to abandon it.
Suddenly, Yar said, "Leo, there's something I'd like to ask you."
"Now that the laboratory's experiment has failed, we will be unable to apply for the same research project for the same reasons. However, we can entrust the data to other wizards so they can continue their research."
Yar said seriously, "Leo, I would like to entrust this experimental data report to you. I hope you can help us continue our research so that our past efforts will not be in vain."
Leo thought for a moment and said, "Wizard Yar, but I'm also a member of the research lab now. Can I start this research project again?"
"No problem. You're just a newcomer who's only been here a few days, and you've actually produced results. There's a good chance your application to continue your research will be approved."
"I understand. I'll accept these data reports then."
"Please, Leo," Yar said solemnly, grasping Leo's hands.
Leo nodded.
After entrusting the research data to Leo, Yar's expression became much more relaxed.
Although I still feel a little resentful, I've been able to let it go.
After things settled down, Leo remembered hearing the name X earlier and asked, "Wizard Yar, there's something I want to ask you. Is the Wizard X that Envoy Kelly mentioned a legitimate wizard?"
"Yes." A hint of longing appeared on Yar's face as he said, "Wizard Ax is the official wizard in charge of managing our potion wizard research lab. Envoy Kelly is just an assistant he promoted to help manage the lab."
Leo raised his eyebrows slightly, his azure eyes widening somewhat more than usual. He deliberately feigned curiosity and asked, "Wizard Yar, have you ever met Wizard Ex?"
"How could that be?" Yar shook his head and said, "To meet a formal wizard, you at least have to complete a research project in an A-level research lab. Only then will a formal wizard be interested in you and take the initiative to find you. They might even transfer you to the research project they are in charge of."
As Yar finished speaking, a clear look of anticipation appeared on his face.
To become a member of an officially affiliated research lab is an immense honor for these wizard apprentices.
The research work has now come to an end.
When they got back, Chris seemed distracted.
When they arrived at Esmond's hut, Chris asked, "Leo, do you think I'm not suited to be a wizard?"
Leo said, "I can't give you an answer to that."
"That's right, it's my life, and only I can decide that."
For once, Chris's eyes showed a hint of bewilderment.
Despite possessing a level 3 mental strength talent, Chris discovered that, let alone Leo, his talent in academic subjects and magic was even inferior to Jasmine's.
As the gap between him and Leo widened, Chris began to doubt whether he was cut out to be a wizard.
He may indeed have a level 3 talent in mental power, but he may not necessarily be suitable to be a wizard.
Leo could see Chris's disappointment, but these were things he had to get through on his own.
After finishing his work in the lab, Leo went to the woodpecker's hut.
Today, besides the elf counter girl, there was another elf in the shop today, wearing a veil, with a slender figure and skin as white as jade.
"Wizard Leo, welcome back again." The elf at the counter smiled as before, his expression exactly the same as before, as if they were made from the same mold.
Leo said, "Miss, this is the list of materials I need."
Leo handed over the note he had written.
The remaining starter potions are displayed above; you should also buy three of each of the required materials.
The elf looked down, then suddenly frowned and said, "Master Leo, the quantity of withered grass and tree roots you wish to purchase is far too large. I need to check if we have enough in stock."
After the elf at the counter finished speaking, the veiled elf next to her said, "It's alright, no need to confirm, we have enough withered grass and tree roots in our shop."
The saleswoman replied, "Yes, manager."
Leo turned his gaze towards him and asked curiously, "Ma'am, are you the manager of the Woodpecker Shop?"
The veiled elf nodded slightly and said, "Yes. Sir wizard, we will surely have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. My name is Barbara."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Barbara. My name is Leo."
Barbara smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Leo."
Leo sized up Barbara.
The veiled elf exuded an aura that hinted at her formidable magical power.
At the same time, Barbara exudes the quality of gathering spiritual seeds.
Unlike the saleswoman, Barbara is a wizard.
Moreover, Barbara's spiritual energy is very close to that of Yar, a second-class wizard apprentice.
Barbara's gaze fell on the badge on Leo's chest and she said, "Mr. Leo, are you a new student who just arrived at the Tower of Dawn this year?"
"That's right."
"You are truly young and promising. To become a wizard in such a short time, you must be one of the best among the new students."
Leo replied, "You flatter me."
Suddenly, a blue light appeared in Barbara's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Barbara's gaze towards Leo underwent a strange change, seemingly becoming fervent.
"Mr. Leo."
Barbara blushed and asked in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Mr. Leo, what kind of woman do you like?"
The saleswoman at the counter next to her was so surprised by what she saw that she opened her mouth wide.
She found it hard to imagine that their composed store manager would show such a girlish side.
Did Leo put some aphrodisiac in his mouth?
Leo also raised an eyebrow.
A woman he had only known for less than five minutes suddenly looked at him with affectionate eyes and spoke in a coquettish voice.
This doesn't look right at all.
