Chapter 509: The Improvement and Promotion Plan for the Great Seed of Knowledge

After Big Sis Bai's round of punishment, she finally let me go amidst my incessant pleas for mercy.

"Little Han, your spell still needs some improvement, doesn't it? Such a big flaw—letting others use it would result in punishment."

Big Sis Bai was completely satisfied at this moment.

Although she spoke cautionary words, her tone carried no blame.

"Understood, understood…"

I spoke quickly, as if I had just recovered, my outstretched finger subconsciously wiping the glistening corner of my mouth.

My entire expression was still lingering in a state of aftertaste.

"Little Han, you didn't see anything just now, did you?"

"Mmm! Mmm!"

I hurriedly nodded.

After regaining my composure, I instinctively glanced around anxiously.

Only after confirming that no one had noticed did I breathe a sigh of relief.

However, it seemed that not everyone missed it.

I saw an unfamiliar instructor, also a Transcendent Witch, in the distance cast a look of "I understand" at me.

I pretended not to notice and picked up a book to read.

Mainly, I didn't expect Big Sis Bai to use such private memory for her first attempt at the experiment… Who knew Big Sis Bai would suddenly stuff her black history memory into the Tree of Knowledge just like that…

However, during the brief time I was being punished by Big Sis Bai, I also roughly learned a few things from her.

For example, the initial stage of growth for the Tree of Knowledge inside Big Sis Bai only required Magic Power or other external Transcendent Energy.

Subsequent growth required memory and information as nutrients to allow it to sprout new leaves.

Furthermore, the memory placed into the Tree of Knowledge was not lost by the individual, so this was merely a "transcription" of knowledge.

And I, as the spellcaster, had the right to observe the information within the target's Tree of Knowledge.

This ability was within my expectation, but I never thought it would be confirmed in such a manner.

"Um… Big Sis Bai, let's test something else, okay?"

I asked, negotiating, afraid that Big Sis Bai was still in the mood and would take advantage of me again.

"Ahem, that's right. After all, I already agreed to your request, and I can't go back on my word."

Big Sis Bai also nodded at this moment, as if nothing had happened, her tone as calm as before.

"Then… Big Sis Bai, have you tried deleting the memory from the Tree of Knowledge? How about we try to see how to delete it?"

"Delete?"

"Mmm mmm!"

I nodded repeatedly.

"Since it's a test, we naturally need to set standardized procedures based on the effect feedback. Memory recording and deletion—the most basic ones."

"That's true, but I think deleting memory from the Tree of Knowledge should be quite simple…"

"And can the memory still be retrieved after deletion?"

I continued to ask.

Although this operation seemed somewhat useless—after all, the Tree of Knowledge was merely a backup of memory, and after deletion, one could simply back up the memory they still remember again.

But this was different.

After all, human memory also has many other characteristics, such as forgetting, or memory distortion, etc.

Once backed up again, it would no longer be the previous recorded memory.

If a memory already forgotten by oneself but recorded in the Tree of Knowledge was lost accidentally or due to some incident, then it would be permanently lost.

One wouldn't even realize what memory they had lost.

"It might not be retrievable."

Big Sis Bai said as she operated the Tree of Knowledge, clearing the memory.

The previous black history was also completely wiped clean.

Only after confirming it could not be retrieved did she speak to me.

"I see."

I nodded, not surprised.

I didn't necessarily have to achieve this specific ability.

Testing the Tree of Knowledge and measuring all its functions was certainly a colossal task that couldn't be done in a short time.

However, I wanted to achieve a Tree of Knowledge that could form a specific model, which would be easy to promote.

If possible, I naturally hoped this spell could be promoted across the entire Witch Academy, making everyone work for me!

But this was impossible, primarily due to privacy issues, and secondly, the constant stream of large and small problems that would arise from it.

Its only selling point was probably… that it could help with rapid learning?

And the dedicated "assistant" of the Shadow of Knowledge, along with the Earth Vein Information Appraisal Spell.

I was currently like someone promoting a mobile phone, and the current selling points were roughly these three.

I felt inexplicably that it wasn't enough… After all, even the function of a casual mobile phone couldn't be this limited.

Compared to that… I suddenly felt a little anxious.

After all, to put it plainly, this ability was not rare.

I could achieve this through a Grand Spellbook, and others could achieve something even more powerful through sheer volume.

This was probably what was meant by insufficient competitiveness.

In the end, I just smiled and shook my head, silently scolding myself for worrying too much.

The Void is so vast.

I hadn't even stepped out yet and was already worrying about my future.

The Great Tree of Knowledge would not stay at this level, would it?

Opportunity favors the prepared mind.

Who is to say I won't carve a path in this competition?

I think my idea is excellent and will only get better.

If I start worrying about my future just by anticipating a hypothetical enemy, then I am not qualified to continue on the path I chose.

…

As Big Sis Bai and I continued testing the Great Seed of Knowledge, a few days passed in a flash.

These past few days, Big Sis Bai and I tested many functions, and we also tested the application of the Shadow of Knowledge and the Earth Vein Information Appraisal Spell on the Tree of Knowledge.

The experimental effect of the Shadow of Knowledge was not much different from the effect of the Leaf of Knowledge.

And with my efforts, Big Sis Bai's previous experimental Leaf of Knowledge had already materialized and dissolved into the soil of Big Sis Bai's Sea of Consciousness as a nutrient, adding a unique kind of nourishment for the robust growth of Big Sis Bai's Tree of Knowledge.

However, the experiment with the Earth Vein Information Appraisal Spell on the Tree of Knowledge encountered considerable obstacles.

Although, as I predicted, the Seed of Knowledge could better carry the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, it was, after all, only a spell effect.

It couldn't achieve the prerequisite foundation for using the Appraisal Spell, which was the property of drawing Earth Vein information by relying on the Great Tree of Knowledge.

But this problem wasn't particularly difficult to solve; it only required strengthening the strong association between the Great Seed of Knowledge and the Great Tree of Knowledge to a certain extent.

This also conveniently solved the problem of the massive "information repository" needed when using the Appraisal Spell.

However, currently, these ideas still require time to complete.

It was impossible to finish this in just a few days, but the good news was that once the plan was complete, following the step-by-step iteration and updates would realize my concept.

Unbeknownst to me, I seemed to be gradually becoming the person I had once admired—someone who could solve problems as they arose.

Undoubtedly, at this stage, I lacked any foundation, but through my continuous trial and error, a concept with the Great Tree of Knowledge as its framework was gradually taking shape.

During this period, many of the Great Seeds of Knowledge I continuously condensed were also scrapped, representing the cost of my trial and error.

And Big Sis Bai's seed, which had already become a Tree of Knowledge, was not left behind by my iterations and updates.

Because Big Sis Bai had me, and I would personally help Big Sis Bai complete the functional updates for her fully formed Tree of Knowledge.

Others would not have this privilege.

Of course, at this stage, apart from Big Sis Bai, no one else had obtained this Seed of Knowledge.

"Still researching your Great Seed of Knowledge? Little Han Remember to balance work and rest, okay?"

Big Sis Bai suddenly said to me at this moment.

"Mmm? Oh, okay."

I nodded softly.

This was the countless time Big Sis Bai had said this to me these past few days.

However, I felt that my current intensity was fine.

After all, I had regular sleep, Meditation, and exercise every day, and I didn't stay up late.

Compared to those Academic Witches who would spend days without closing their eyes researching [Transcendent Knowledge], I was already very relaxed.

But when I looked up at Big Sis Bai, I was suddenly stunned.

"Big Sis Bai, where are you going? Your outfit… is quite pretty."

"Didn't I tell you? There's an instructor here who proposed chartering a yacht. She's planning to host a party on it, inviting many instructors and students. I heard it's a swimwear party too?"

"Eh?"

I was stunned when Big Sis Bai said this.

Did Big Sis Bai mention it?

"Judging by your look, you didn't hear me talk about it then, did you? They invited you too, you know?"

"I was invited too?"

"Mmm, she asked me to relay the message. You didn't absorb a single word, did you?"

Big Sis Bai said as she threw me a set of swimwear we had bought earlier.

"Do you want to go? I'm going, by the way If possible, I hope you come along. You might get to meet quite a few people there. Of course, if you don't want to meet anyone, you can just stay quietly on the side, and I can keep you company."

"Since Big Sis Bai, you've said so, then I can't refuse…"

I smiled lightly and put down the things I was busy with in my hand.

Of course, this wasn't me compromising with Big Sis Bai.

In fact, I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about this kind of crowded party.

But these past few days, as I perfected the basic functions of the Seed of Knowledge, I also realized a problem: I alone could never compare to a group of people.

Instead of working in isolation here and fumbling blindly, it was better to try to promote this ability first.

The Tree of Knowledge cultivated by the Seed of Knowledge has almost "infinite" possibilities.

Hoarding it only limits its development.

Everyone will have a different perception and application of it.

Furthermore… my Great Tree of Knowledge also urgently needs nourishment, and I have planned the source of that nourishment: the Earth Vein Information Appraisal Spell!

I will let those who are curious about everything help me draw information from the Earth Vein.

The hustle and bustle of this period also made me realize a very important thing: my time is precious!

Anything that can be done by others should not waste my time.

And what currently wastes my time the most is naturally obtaining information using the Earth Vein Information Appraisal Spell.

Even if I personally obtain the Earth Vein information to maximize efficiency, the consumption of time is completely unwarranted.

There is genuinely no need to waste my time on this accumulative task.

I would rather let others work for me with lower efficiency.

Moreover, if the quantity goes up, the result is that efficiency naturally isn't the most important thing anymore.

"By the way, Big Sis Bai, which students did the leading instructor invite this time?"

I asked curiously.

"Mmm, probably all the students who are still on the Bobapus Archipelago received an invitation. Little Han, why are you asking? Are you planning to play with your peers?"

"Uh-huh Something like that."

I replied with a smile.

When I asked Big Sis Bai just now, I also started the deduction of the Destiny Gazing Technique Spell simultaneously.

The result I got was that the three most famous Children of Destiny in the Witch Academy currently seemed to be on the Bobapus Archipelago, but not all of them planned to participate in this so-called swimwear party.

For instance, Lucianne did not plan to go.

After all, she should still retain a certain degree of male mindset and might find a swimwear party full of scantily-clad girls a bit overwhelming.

In fact, the moment Big Sis Bai mentioned this, I had already instantly thought of some plans.

I wanted to seize this opportunity to "promote" the few Great Seeds of Knowledge I had.

I didn't need too many; even one should be enough.

And the target I chose was naturally Lucianne.

This reminded me of Lucianne whom I met in the library when the Destiny Gazing Technique skill was first completed.

She seemed to have a headache over theoretical learning.

If I recommended this to her, she might find it hard to refuse.

After all, from her perspective, after learning about this thing, she should be the one begging me for it.

Of course, I would naturally "give" this Great Seed of Knowledge to her for free.

However, she should also understand that free things are the most expensive, and the person who orchestrates everything has already marked the price tag behind the scenes.

Naturally, my willingness to gift the Great Seed of Knowledge to Lucianne for free was also because I valued her identity as a Child of Destiny.

I wanted to use them as a stepping stone to further perfect my Great Tree of Knowledge through the powerful driving force of Destiny.

After all, the Great Seed of Knowledge I gave away could no longer be interfered with by me in any meaningful sense.

It would belong to the person using it.

Whatever development they made on the Tree of Knowledge should have nothing to do with me.

At most, I could gain some more knowledge nutrients.

But this bit of nutrient was insignificant compared to the numbers.

The most valuable thing she would provide was ideas!

If possible, I naturally wanted to promote it not only to Lucianne, but also Ninglan Qiuyue, and even Tan Han.

But I didn't know Tan Han's attitude toward this, as she was a genius herself and I didn't know if she would value this method.

Perhaps I should think of a gimmick to package this Great Seed of Knowledge, such as… photographic memory, one-on-one famous teacher, or pointing out where you have trouble?

I feel this is very suitable for promotion within the Witch Academy.

Even if it could be popularized across the entire academy, the students' learning efficiency would improve.

Perhaps… I should go and ask Academy Head Mei Linde.

She is my biggest patron right now.

I cannot escape the Academy Head's gaze while I am in the Witch Academy.

If I want to achieve the things I envision, I must also pass the Academy Head's hurdle.

Perhaps the Academy Head could provide me with new inspiration.

Of course, it could also be a reprimand.

I couldn't accurately gauge these things, as this matter was essentially me attempting to scheme for the entire student resources of the Witch Academy!

I can't just promote this to other Transcendent Academies, can I?

It seems… it might not be impossible?

It's just that I lack the channel.

My instinctive desire to find the Academy Head just now was naturally my subconscious belief that what channel could be better than the Academy Head's within the Witch Academy?

"Since Little Han, you agreed to go, then quickly change into your swimwear and remember to put a cover-up on the outside."

"I know, I know."
