With the help of Lize and Tower Spirit 2, the research progressed smoothly.

When the time came to the Starlight Calendar 1364, the first secondary star core with the ability to sense energy particle fluctuations was finally successfully created.

The test results showed that the new version of the secondary star core only had one percent of the sensing ability of the original star core, not even qualified to be a low-end version.

However, for Su Nan, it was enough.

After that, Su Nan pretended to let Lize return to the affairs of the Star Alliance, and conducted the research alone, actually starting to create secondary star cores and then synthesizing them.

Finally, he successfully synthesized a star core with a sensing ability that was no less than that of the original version using one hundred and twelve secondary star cores.

Su Nan did not stop there, but continued to invest more secondary star cores into the synthesis.

The original star core, coupled with the secondary star core network, could only cover half of the Starlight Continent at most, but if it could synthesize a more powerful star core, and then supplemented with the new version of the secondary star core, it would most likely be able to establish a monitoring network covering the entire Starlight Continent, including the surface world and the underground world.

Two monitoring networks are always less convenient and easier to use than one broader and more complete monitoring network.

After hundreds of tests, Su Nan finally synthesized a satisfactory new star core.

The cost was three hundred secondary star cores, costing two hundred million gold coins, almost emptying the Star Alliance’s cash flow.

For this reason, Su Nan had to delay the construction of the mage tower’s built-in golem legion and prioritize funding for this.

“This thing’s price even exceeds a large elemental pool.”

Looking at the crystal ball in front of him, which was as beautiful as the starry sky, Su Nan couldn’t help but exclaim.

But it was worth it. Compared to a monitoring network covering the entire continent, two hundred million gold coins is nothing.

When Su Nan took the synthesized new star core to Lize, the latter was speechless with shock.

It was one thing to improve the secondary star core before, but now he actually created the star core without a blueprint and without any guidance, and further improved and enhanced its effects!

What a group of wizards from the Starfall Guild had failed to achieve in thousands of years was achieved by Su Nan alone in just a few years!

This is simply no different from a miracle!

Lize couldn’t help but suspect that Su Nan was actually an old wizard who had lived for tens of thousands of years and was reborn.

“You really surprise me every time.”

After a sigh, Lize looked at the crystal ball in front of her, and she was also excited.

“With this star core, building a continent-wide monitoring network should be no problem.”

Su Nan asked, “How long will it take to complete?”

Lize pondered for a moment and said, “The construction of the monitoring network is not difficult. As long as we calculate the nodes and then arrange the secondary star cores, we have a complete teleportation network. It’s very convenient and fast to do. If we are fast, it can be completed in one or two years.”

“Provided there are enough funds.”

“To cover the entire continent, we need at least three hundred or more new secondary star cores, plus other material expenses, the total cost will be at least three hundred million gold coins. The Star Alliance does not have that much money now.”

Speaking of which, Lize couldn’t help but glance at Su Nan, the meaning was clear.

The Star Alliance has used more than eighty percent of its funds on Su Nan over the years, including building the mage tower and developing the new star core.

Of course, she wasn’t condemning Su Nan.

After all, Su Nan’s strength is the strength of the Star Alliance.

The special environment of the Starlight Continent has created a situation for the Star Alliance that is different from other wizard forces, namely that the development and growth of the Star Alliance are entirely dependent on Su Nan.

If Su Nan were to disappear, the Star Alliance would not disintegrate immediately, but at least it would be weakened and would no longer be as glorious as before.

In this case, it is reasonable for the Star Alliance to invest all its funds in Su Nan.

Moreover, whether it is building a mage tower or developing a new star core, it is beneficial to the development of the Star Alliance.

“How much money can we spare now?” Su Nan asked.

Lize handed over a document and said, “The Starlight Continent has developed well these years, and the Star Alliance’s annual income is close to twenty million gold coins. Without reducing the construction investment of the mage tower, we can allocate about eight million gold coins annually.”

“We can start building the monitoring network now. As long as we slow down the speed and invest money in installments, it can be completed in about forty years. In this way, the manpower pressure will not be too great.”

Su Nan frowned slightly.

Forty years is not a long time, he can wait.

But this problem once again made him realize the limitations of the Starlight Continent.

The Starlight Continent itself is so large, and without overfishing, the annual income created is basically fixed.

Without communication with the outside world, the income created by the Starlight Continent will never be able to skyrocket in a short period of time.

To increase income, we can only develop the Starlight Continent little by little and improve the overall level.

It is for this reason that Su Nan wants to vigorously promote secondary magic technology.

Only through a revolution in productivity can the Starlight Continent create more income.

However, it will take at least three to four hundred years to truly promote secondary magic technology.

In the short term, the Star Alliance’s income will not see a significant increase.

“That’s it then, I’ll leave the construction of the monitoring network to you.”

Lize nodded and said, “By the way, give this plan a name, so it’s easier to refer to it.”

Su Nan said without hesitation, “Let’s call it the Star’s Eye Project. The name Star’s Eye is quite suitable.”

The Star’s Eye, the eyes of the Starlight Continent, is very fitting for the role of the monitoring network.

So, after the Secondary Magic Stone Mine Project and the Teleportation Network Project, the Star Alliance ushered in another large project called the ‘Star’s Eye Project’.

With the Star’s Eye matter settled, Su Nan was able to free his hands to continue investing in the construction of the mage tower.

After synthesizing the large magic lock protection energy field, the defense part of the mage tower’s combat device was completed. On the attack side, only the Spell Cannon Tower Type II and the golem legion remained.

Just when Su Nan was concentrating on refining golems and spell cannon towers, Tower Spirit 1 suddenly sent a message.

In the traveler’s training room, the life energy disappeared.

The moment Su Nan received this message, he immediately opened the traveler’s training room, and what he saw was the traveler’s body sitting motionless on the floor.

His spiritual power swept through, and Su Nan immediately confirmed that the traveler’s life energy had completely dissipated.

He still couldn’t cross the final hurdle.

Before the breakthrough, his lifespan had reached its end.

The Staff, who arrived later, sighed. His expression was both sad and relieved.

Sadness was for the failure and death of his friend.

Relief was because he was lucky to have broken through. Otherwise, he would have ended up like the Traveler.

“It’s a pity. Looking at the Traveler’s appearance, he might have only been a little bit away.” The Staff sighed.

Even now, the Traveler’s body was still surrounded by a strong energy particle, obviously his talent crystal structure had reached the final step. If he could have persisted for a few more years, he might have crossed that hurdle.

Unfortunately, this last step is often the difference between heaven and earth.

Countless wizard apprentices have fallen short of this last step.

Being wizards, they had seen similar situations many times. Su Nan and the Staff quickly adjusted their moods.

“I wonder how Rose is doing?”

“Her life energy is still there, at least she hasn’t failed yet.”

“Facardo and the others are also planning to go into seclusion to make a final push recently. Not to mention the others, Facardo has a high probability of breaking through.”

As the patriarch of the Russell family, Facardo was in a much better situation than ordinary wizard apprentices.

He was given a lot of resources by the family since he was young, and he smoothly advanced to a third-rank wizard apprentice. Later, he joined the Star Alliance and had even more abundant resources.

If one were to say who among the academy’s instructors had the highest chance of becoming a wizard, it would definitely be Facardo.

Su Nan nodded in agreement.

Starlight Academy has now entered a period of stable development.

The three-level echelon construction of wizard apprentices has been very well established, and there will definitely be a third and fourth wizard sooner or later.

Especially with the construction of the large elemental pool, it has greatly reduced the difficulty of filling the talent crystal model with spiritual power, greatly improving the success rate of apprentices advancing to wizards.

In a few hundred years, the number of wizards in the Star Alliance will likely soar to double digits.

“Rose’s breakthrough should be a matter of the next few years.” Su Nan said.

However, things happened faster than he expected.

Just three months later, intense energy particle fluctuations erupted in the mage tower again.

Rose advanced to wizard!

After Su Nan and the Staff, the Star Alliance welcomed its third official wizard.

The two immediately went to Rose’s training room to wait.

*Sizzle!*

The training room door opened, and Rose, who came out, was radiant and her aura appeared more condensed and profound.

“Congratulations.”

“Congratulations on advancing to wizard.”

Su Nan and the Staff offered their congratulations together.

“Thank you.”

Rose’s face blossomed with a bright smile. The successful advancement to wizard made her extremely excited.

Like the Staff before, she also had a sense of the world suddenly opening up at this moment.

“By the way, where’s the Traveler?” Rose asked in confusion when she saw only Su Nan and the Staff.

Su Nan didn’t answer, just shook his head.

Seeing this, Rose instantly understood. The joy brought by her advancement was suddenly diminished, and her smile faded as she sighed.

“This kind of thing will happen again and again in the future, you’ll get used to it.” The Staff comforted her.

Rose wasn’t a sentimental little girl, and soon she recovered her mood and asked the two for advice on matters after becoming a wizard.

When she heard about the wizard expedition and the sealing and repair of the dimensional barrier, Rose was also shocked.

“I didn’t expect that there was such a reason behind the special environment of the Starlight Continent.” Rose’s expression was both worried and happy.

Worried because after becoming a wizard, she would have to face the problem of the energy particle concentration limit, and her training efficiency would be greatly affected.

Happy because luckily this situation would recover in six hundred years, so there would be some hope of advancing to a second-level wizard.

“The repair of the dimensional barrier is not something we can influence. Don’t worry about it. Just focus on training.”

Su Nan comforted her, then changed the subject.

“Also, I’m going to make you the vice-principal of Starlight Academy. What do you think?”

Rose didn’t hesitate to agree. The reason was the same as the Staff’s back then, for better treatment.

In Su Nan’s plan, the top management of Starlight Academy will all be wizards, one principal and four vice-principals, forming an academy council to take charge of all affairs of Starlight Academy and report directly to the controller of the Star Alliance.

In the future, as the scale of Starlight Academy expands, the number of members of the academy council may increase, but for now, it’s enough.

At least wait until there are five council members.

With Rose’s addition, the speed of refining spell cannon towers and mithril golems increased significantly.

Since enough mithril had been accumulated, Su Nan simply handed over this part of the work to Rose and the Staff temporarily and started creating the floating ring.

Starlight Calendar 1370, Summer Dragon Month (June).

The floating ring was completed, and the energy supply part of the Starlight Mage Tower was completely completed.

Starlight Calendar 1372, Flower Moon (May).

Su Nan synthesized the three hundredth Spell Cannon Tower Type II and placed it on the mage tower.

This marked the completion of the mage tower’s ultra-long-range attack device.

Including three hundred Spell Cannon Tower Type II and one Disintegration Cannon Type II.

This firepower is the optimal number that the large elemental pool can bear, and there is no point in having more.

Starlight Calendar 1373, Thunder Moon (April).

Facardo successfully advanced to wizard, becoming the fourth official wizard of the Star Alliance. He was appointed as the second vice-principal of Starlight Academy on the second day after his breakthrough.

At the same time, however, four third-rank wizard apprentices failed to breakthrough and died of old age.

Starlight Calendar 1385, Harvest Moon (September).

The mage tower’s built-in golem legion was completed, including five thousand enchanted mithril golems, twenty contact master puppets, and five secret puppets.

This left only some finishing touches and the last tower spirit to be completed for the mage tower construction.

The following year, Su Nan created Tower Spirit 3, specifically responsible for combat command.

However, considering that there would be no battles for a long time, Su Nan temporarily assigned Tower Spirit 3 to manage the Dragon Forest.

As for the caretaker of the Dragon Bone Tower, Number 1, he would assist Tower Spirit 3.

Starlight Calendar 1387, Revival Moon (February).

The Starlight Mage Tower was officially completed.

【Mage Tower: Starlight】

【Level: Small (Enhanced)】

【Current Remaining Energy: 95.36%】

【Intelligent Auxiliary Life: Tower Spirit 1, Tower Spirit 2, Tower Spirit 3】

【Facilities: Elemental Pool (Large/Enhanced), Floating Ring, Central Crystal Energy Transmission System, Residential Area, Warehouse Area, Experiment Area, Practice Area, Meditation Area, Planting Area】

【Servants: Clay Golem × 130, Water Sprite × 223, Flower Fairy × 254】

【Defense Device: Magic Lock Protection Energy Field (Large/Enhanced)】

【Combat Device: Spell Cannon Tower Type II × 300, Disintegration Cannon Type II, Golem Legion (Mithril Golem × 5000, Contact Master Puppet × 20, Secret Puppet × 5)】

High in the sky, looking at the towering and magnificent giant tower in front of him, Su Nan felt a surge of excitement.

Now, he also had his own mage tower! (End of Chapter)
