My cousin is becoming a legend.

Lynn said goodbye to her teacher and left the examination room.

At the front desk, Vanessa kept her eyes fixed on Lynn's figure.

She desperately wanted to know the result.

But Lynn didn't come towards her.

Vanessa squirmed in her seat, wishing she could rush over and ask.

"The exam is over."

Lynn waved the certificate.

Bruno perked up and stood up from his seat.

"Finally finished the exams! What star level are you now?"

"Ten stars," Lynn said calmly.

Jack, who was standing to the side, was already somewhat delirious from eating.

But when he heard what Lynn said, he exclaimed in surprise.

But because he ate too much, he almost threw up.

Jack coughed twice, forcing himself to endure his bloated stomach as he asked incredulously:

"Lynn, you actually passed the ten-star certificate exam?! Are you a second-year student?"

Lynn shook her head.

"Bruno and I just started school, let's not talk about that. What are you guys doing eating here?"

Bruno scratched his head and laughed.

"We can't just sit here doing nothing, can we? Okay, let's go after the exam, shall we? We'll go to that barbecue restaurant outside the campus for lunch. I've heard it's famous, but it's too close to the school, so I've never wanted to go. Jack, you come too, let's order a lot of food."

"Oh, I'm going too? Well, thank you, brother."

Jack forced himself to nod.

Lynn said helplessly, "Have you forgotten why we came here? Wait a minute, I'll take on a mission to earn some money, and I'll treat everyone to lunch."

Bruno let out a wail, but could only continue to wait.

Jack, who was standing nearby, quickly reminded him, "Brother Lynn, please use my lab bench. I rented it for a month, and the lease hasn't expired yet."

Lynn was a little curious.

"Can it be used like this?"

Jack gave an awkward laugh.

"It should be fine. After all, there are many poor students like me who share a lab bench and a set of alchemy equipment."

Jack explained the rules for renting the lab to Lynn.

Lynn remained silent, having roughly grasped the situation.

The alchemy equipment in the classroom was provided to them free of charge.

But this isn't a free place.

This has led to a vicious cycle.

If you want to improve your skills, you need to practice here outside of class.

It costs money to practice here.

Ordinary students have no money, so they cannot improve their skills, and therefore cannot make money here.

Therefore, the ordinary students had no choice but to share a room and take turns using the alchemy equipment.

This leads to another question.

Because the rental fees for alchemy tables and equipment are very expensive, ordinary students can barely earn any money, only enough for a meager stipend.

Therefore, they lack the confidence to take on high-end projects and are unable to further improve their skills.

Apart from those who are truly gifted or who have gained the favor of nobles.

It's fair to say that these ordinary students with average talent have absolutely no chance of making progress.

No wonder old Turner was once a student at the National Academy, but ended up going to the Kingdom of Uma to become a clandestine alchemist under Nareel.

That makes sense.

Lynn shook her head.

"Never mind, I'll be coming here often in the future, so it's not good to keep borrowing your spot. Wait a minute, I'll rent a place closer."

Lynn asked Jack for the lab station number and walked towards the front desk.

"Could you please set up a table for me?"

Vanessa was busy with her hands, but she was anxious inside.

Do you need to rent refining equipment?

"unnecessary."

"Okay, here's your table. The rental period is one month. Please keep it safe."

Vanessa handed over the number plate.

Lynn turned to leave.

Vanessa finally couldn't contain her curiosity and reached out to stop him.

"Excuse me, junior, did you pass the exam?"

"Do I need to register again?"

Lynn was taken aback and prepared to take out the documents she had put away.

Vanessa was a little embarrassed and stammered, unable to speak.

Lynn placed the documents on the table.

Vanessa looked down and gasped.

It actually passed!

That's terrifying.

This is a newly enrolled ten-star alchemist.

Could they be some kind of alchemy family?

Wilson...

But I've never heard of this surname before.

Vanessa respectfully handed the documents back.

She was going to upload this information to the Magic Network system.

The MagicNet system is an information system being piloted in the school.

The current data entry process is extremely cumbersome.

This also led Vanessa, who was in charge of this business, to sometimes be too lazy to operate it, and she would only update it once every two weeks.

This often led unsuspecting ordinary students to believe that the large screen in the lobby of the Alchemy Building was refreshed every two weeks.

But actually, Vanessa was just being lazy.

Of course, on the other hand, there isn't that much information available, so there's no point in rushing to update it.

After all, there are only a handful of alchemy geniuses, and their rankings generally don't change much.

But Lynn is such a dark horse that she's really too heavyweight.

She won't be able to sleep tonight if she doesn't update the information immediately and let everyone know the news.

Vanessa continued her struggle with the Magic Network operating system, constantly inputting information.

Lynn was unaware of this.

After accepting several nine-star potion quests, he led Jack toward the alchemy area.

Since eating was not allowed inside the alchemy area, Bruno could only wander around outside, occasionally striking up conversations with pretty girls.

Jack led the way.

Lynn and his companion quickly found their places.

Enter the room in the medicine-making area.

There was a blackboard in front of them.

A male student is quietly explaining alchemical theory to a group of students.

Below that are rows of experimental tables.

Many students were busy with their tasks with their heads down.

Lynn patted Jack on the shoulder and asked curiously, "Jack, why are there students giving lectures up ahead? What's going on?"

Jack pushed up his glasses and explained, "Uh, it's actually a business. Aren't there many students who can't afford to make potions? To increase the success rate, some students specifically teach them the details and experience of potion making. Apart from being a bit expensive, there's nothing wrong with it. Speaking of which, I've taken that senior's class before."

Lynn said "Oh" and followed Jack toward their lab bench.

Is this similar to a tutoring class?

Lynn thought that maybe she could do this kind of business too.

But then I thought, with his abilities, he doesn't need to make money through this channel.

He decided not to compete with the group of ordinary students.

Lynn and Jack began to concoct the potion.

Lynn worked quickly and soon finished refining all the bottles of medicine he had been entrusted with.

The Nine-Star Potion was not difficult for him.

This batch of medicines consisted of top-grade and first-grade products, and it failed once.

It's fair to say that he made a fortune this time.

Lynn couldn't help but marvel at how lucrative the profession of alchemist truly was.

As he was packing up to leave, he saw Jack still struggling to concoct a potion.

He only managed to refine three bottles, and all of them were only of grade four quality.

Lynn thought for a moment and decided to give him some guidance.

After all, he helped him out, and it seems he even acknowledged Bruno as his elder brother?

Anyway, it was just a small favor for him, and it didn't take much effort.

Lynn walked toward Jack's alchemy table and carefully observed his steps.

Jack's skill level was limited to begin with.

When he realized that Lynn was watching him conduct the experiment from behind, he immediately became nervous.

I accidentally ruined the pot of medicine.

Jack turned around, scratched his head, and chuckled sheepishly, "Brother Lynn, you and Brother Bruno go eat first. I still need to practice for a while, otherwise this lab bench will be available for someone else this afternoon."
