The boy's voice was too loud, which attracted the attention of various apprentices.
"Boy, watch your tone," an apprentice sneered. "You have zero qualifications to look down on Adam. He isn't soone you can ever hope to insult."
The boy looked back, unleashing his ntal power to find who just defended Adam angrily.
However, Korver held his shoulder and said sternly, "Li, he is right. You should learn to keep your opinions to yourself, especially on things you don't understand."
"Brother Korver..." the boy nad Li said, flustered. "Why are you..."
Korver shook his head, shushing Li. He accepted the task on the board and left the Task Hall.
According to mages, unstable and inconsistent elents like electricity are not worth studying. Although it is strong in its early stages, it pales in comparison to other more consistent magic later on. However, Korver was sure that Adam, the creator of psychic power, wouldn't be so stupid.
Besides, getting close to Adam benefits him a lot.
After getting questioned by several alchemy puppets, he ca to the 3rd floor of the Elental Laboratory Building and knocked outside Adam's lab.
It was Frank who opened the door. After Korver expressed his intentions, Frank took him to Adam's room.
"We et again, Mr. Adam," Korver greeted with a smile.
Adam instantly rembered who he was, but he didn't know his na.
"Korver Butler, here to apply as an assistant."
Adam glanced at him. If Korver was able to enter the apprentice bar, it ans that he already knows his path. Why would he ever work as an assistant, then?
However, Adam decided to not pry. After verifying that Korver had mastered his psychic powers, he directly took out a contract and handed it to him. No matter what his intentions were, it doesn't matter under the perfect contract without loopholes.
Korver didn't explain either. He took the contract and read it carefully, and signed his na.
...
Three days later, a total of thirteen people joined the laboratory to beco Adam's assistants. Together with Jas and Frank, he had a total of fifteen assistants. Since they were all proficient in telekinesis, it would save Adam a lot of ti. His aim was to verify whether various electrical formula theorems back on Earth could be recreated in an ether-rich environnt.
Except for Jas and Frank, the thirteen other assistants were full of doubts. It was completely different from the elental laboratory in their impressions -- there was no elental atmosphere suffocating the laboratory; no magic; no explosions; just simple devices that even re mortals can use.
Adam was a good talker in normal tis, but he beca a total tyrant in the lab. So expressed their doubts to Adam, but they were all brushed away by Adam. He simply asked them day after day, over and over again to do their empirical work and record every tiny change in the data.
They had absolutely no idea how slight changes in data had anything to do with magic.
They had no absolutely no idea the purpose of making a container that can store electricity; they had absolutely no idea the purpose of making a mithril circulation channel for electricity; they didn't know why they had to observe how a compass reacts when electricity is passed through it.
There were many more puzzling experints like this, but Adam was obsessed with every single change in data. Five months passed just like this.
The Mage Continent is a high-magic environnt, which cos from the joint efforts of countless mages making the inert ether active. However, for Adam, this ether wasn't enough for him to verify his theories. He spent a huge amount of power stones to purchase an Ether Environnt Generator, and threw in a few ether crystals without the slightest hesitation in the stunned eyes of everyone.
"Adam, what are you...?" Korver stamred.
For these apprentices, the ether crystals were simply too hard for them to obtain for their capabilities. For so apprentices, this was the first ti they saw ether crystals as well. They couldn't imagine that Adam would simply throw away ether crystals as if it was nothing into the generator.
Adam set a tir on the generator and warned, "Now, I want all of you to shield yourself as much as possible using your psychic power. In three minutes, the ether levels in this laboratory will be extrely high. If you feel dizzy, you may exit the laboratory and rest. Next, record all the changes of each value on the instrunts. Every. Single. One."
Hearing his warning, everyone hurriedly started to stack psychic barriers on top of one another, feeling a little excited. Maybe, they would finally know the purpose of Adam's experints over the past few months.
Soon, the generator began to inject invisible ether into the laboratory. Everyone, including Adam, started to have difficulty breathing. Their ntal power began to riot uncontrollably, and the magic power poured into their psychic barriers like a mountain.
Under Adam's guidance, they thodically started the experint. During this period, so apprentices were forced to leave the laboratory as they couldn't handle the etheric pressure. They returned after they recovered, starting the experint again in a race against ti.
For two days, even though Adam's body was corroded by magic, he never left his laboratory. He simply stared at every collected data intently, and made high-speed calculations and conclusions in his mind.
Just as his body was about to collapse, he successfully managed to verify that his data was also valid in an ether-rich environnt. As soon as he turned off the generator, an amazing change occurred in Adam...
