The Wizard's Biological Chip Can Process Everything-Chapter 77: Finally, I broke the limit... Level 2
I negotiated a bit more with Victor, raising the price to a value that was fair for both of us.
After a good round of arguments and counteroffers, we finally reached a satisfactory agreement.
With that settled, I left the shop and headed straight back to my engineering laboratory.
As soon as I entered, my eyes fell upon the table, where several healing capsules were carefully arranged.
All of them perfectly completed, waiting to be used.
My success rate in creating instant healing devices had reached 100%.
No failures.
No mistakes.
It was an impressive achievement, but selling all those capsules at once?
That would be asking for trouble.
Normally, selling between four and seven devices per month would be reasonable.
As for the rest, I would have to store them.
I sighed and began placing the flasks inside a reinforced box in a corner of the laboratory.
If I tried to sell large quantities inside the Tower, I would end up attracting unwanted attention. That meant I needed to explore other options.
Black market?
External sales?
The outside world is dangerous...
I need to become a Level 2 Acolyte before leaving!
With that thought in mind, I began formulating a plan.
After advancing to Level 2, I’ll be able to practice magical spells and perhaps take on a mission outside the Tower.
If I find connections out there, maybe I can sell my flasks without dealing with bureaucracy or internal regulations—and of course, at a higher price.
My thoughts were racing, so I did the only logical thing.
—Biochip, display my current statistics!"

Time passed once again.
Then, finally, I reached the limit of Level 1.
Now, only a single magical code remained to carry me to the next stage.
The final code.
The code that would open the path to Level 2.
I left my room with determination and went straight to Miguel’s laboratory.
The path was familiar, but my mind was focused on a single objective—buying the crystal potion containing magical spell formulas.
As soon as I stepped through the door, I found Miguel holding a peculiar object in his hand—a glowing triangle pulsing with mystical energy.
Its faint light illuminated his wrinkled face, highlighting his expression of pure concentration.
I decided to wait.
Interrupting Miguel while he was working was not a smart idea.
The old dwarf had a difficult temper when his focus was broken.
When he finally finished, I seized the opportunity and stepped forward.
—Sir! I want to buy the crystal potion with the magical formulas!"
Miguel placed the crystal on the table and turned toward me.
Then he adjusted his steampunk glasses, pushing them up onto his forehead, and looked at me through his golden ocular lenses.
—Oh! You want to start learning level 0 spells?"
I nodded firmly.
—I’m almost done constructing my final mental rune, and there’s only one step left before I advance to Level 2 Acolyte.
—I’d like to make some preparations in advance!
Miguel’s expression softened with a slight smile.
—Being able to progress in both engineering and meditation... it is very gratifying to see that.
For a moment, he glanced at Charlotte, who was nearby, occasionally looking at me.
She had advanced to Level 2 some time ago, but her aptitude for engineering had always been mediocre.
Compared to me, her learning pace seemed much slower.
Miguel turned his attention back to me and crossed his arms.
—The Tower’s price for an introduction to magical models ranges between 30 and 50 magic crystals.
However, I can give you a discount and reduce it to 20 magic crystals."
I raised an eyebrow.
—Although I could give you this information for free, I want you to understand that results only come through effort!" He smiled slightly.
That was Miguel.
A fair master.
The teachers’ authority allowed them to sell information at favorable prices or even offer it for free, depending on the student.
It was clear that Miguel approved of my progress.
—Of course! I will always remember the teachings of my mentor!" I pressed my lips together and quickly nodded, pulling 20 magic crystals from the pouch at my waist.
The bluish stones fell onto the table, releasing small sparks of energy as they collided with one another.
Miguel nodded in satisfaction.
—Very well! This is the crystal potion that contains the introduction to magical models. You may study it whenever you wish, but remember—practice only after your promotion to Level 2 Acolyte!"
He turned toward a shelf filled with various tools and retrieved a fist-sized crystalline potion.
Inside it, golden words rippled gently as if they were alive.
I carefully took the crystal potion and stored it away.
.
.
.
Later that night.
The sky was already dark when I sat on my bed, the crystal potion now open in my hands.
The faint glow of the shimmering liquid left a stain along part of my lips.
I took a deep breath and organized my thoughts.
Mages named the spells that Acolytes could cast as Level 0 magic, distinguishing them from the spells used by official Magi.
It was a basic concept, yet extremely important.
No matter whether an Acolyte was Level 2 or 3, their magic still belonged to Level 0.
That was because, to cast a true spell, a mage needed a body strong enough to withstand the impact of magical energy.
Only those who reached the rank of First-Class Magi could cast spells without suffering injuries.
That was why mastering spell models was so crucial.
The principle of magical spell models is to construct a structure within the mind using spiritual energy.
Then, that structure attracts external energy particles and transforms them through a complex process, generating the spell.
Simply put...
Spiritual energy is the engine.
The spell model is the catalyst.
The concept remained the same, but different models attracted different types of particles, resulting in distinct spells.
I closed my eyes for a moment, absorbing the information.
Constructing a magical model is an extremely delicate process.
Any mistake can damage one’s spiritual energy and require weeks of recovery—or even cause critical harm.
This was one of the greatest obstacles faced even by higher-level Acolytes.
But I had an advantage.
A faint smile appeared on my face as I looked at the now-empty crystal vial.
Of course... with my biochip, I can minimize my failures.
In the future, after advancing to Level 3 Acolyte, I will need to construct my own magical model and acquire several others. That would be an enormous expense... if not for my engineering advantage.
I paused for a moment, feeling the weight of reality on my shoulders.
Ordinary Acolytes did not have the same opportunity.
They had to risk their lives on dangerous missions—facing magical beasts, exploring ancient ruins, and becoming entangled in plots that did not always end favorably.
Only after countless attempts—and for some, a great deal of luck—would they obtain enough magic crystals to invest in their own growth.
It was a bloody price to pay on the path to becoming a Mage.
Compared to the magic crystals earned by risking my life as a Level 1 Acolyte, I could obtain far more by selling capsules.
Besides, none of that matters right now.
My main objective is to advance to Level 2 Acolyte!
Level 1 Acolytes could only store a limited amount of energy particles within their bodies.
That energy provided basic magical resistance, but their control over the particles was rudimentary, like trying to hold water in their hands.
A Level 2 Acolyte, on the other hand, was completely different.
The greatest difference was that they could finally cast Rank 0 spells.
With a well-structured magic model, even a simple Level 0 spell could be amplified to produce a far greater destructive effect.
.
.
.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, focusing on the process.
.
.
.
The next morning...
The first thing I felt upon opening my eyes was a drastic change in my body.
I had finally advanced to Level 2 Acolyte!
The flow of energy particles within me was far more intense—much more solid than before.
The sensation was like having a river of energy running beneath my skin, ready to be shaped. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
My spiritual energy had also expanded significantly, allowing me to process thoughts and information with far greater clarity.
["Beep!"]
["Spiritual energy has undergone a major increase!"]
I frowned.
["The Host’s spiritual energy has increased, and an unknown effect has occurred within the biochip. Processing speed has been improved!"]
A screen was projected within my mind, filled with graphs and numbers. The curves showed a drastic increase in system efficiency.
My eyes shone with excitement.
So the biochip had truly undergone qualitative changes after transcending worlds...
From the moment I arrived here, it had completely fused with my soul.
Now, as my spiritual energy grew stronger, the biochip itself evolved alongside me!
A smile spread across my face.
If this trend continued... who knew how far I could go?
