Chapter 146 B-level article, contribution points 50
The next day, Lilith’s hut was located in the Central Academy Library on the west side of the port city. It was a huge building, not an alchemy hut.
The whole building is antique. It is not the stone building in the southeast corner, but a seven-story wooden building that looks like a stacked tower.
The core is a high-grade magic plant, [Babel Tree], which supports it.
The crown of the Babel tree supports each of the ancillary rooms of the library, making the public library of Lilith's Cottage unique.
The first floor of the library.
A dwarf scholar sitting on a chair. He has a calm temperament that is completely different from the alchemist. He is wearing a pair of flat glasses and is flipping through a book that is thicker than a brick in his hand. At the same time, his fingers are as thin and thin as bones. You can directly see the joints in his fingers.
In addition to this dwarf scholar, there are a large number of other staff members in the library, all of whom appear to be relatively quiet.
There is even a formal wizard from the halfling race, general studies direction, who is leading his students on the first floor of the library, studying and telling the history of this library.
Locke walked into the library, saluted to the formal halfling wizard in the distance, and then quickly walked to the person in charge on the first floor of the library, the dwarf scholar.
Public library is a public building in Lilith Lodge, and it is also the home base of general scholars in Lilith Lodge - a teaching and research base.
The so-called general science refers to the wizards in the general knowledge magic sub-direction of the prophecy school.
The ultimate test goals for wizards who study this category of magic are two. One is to obtain a doctorate in general studies certification, become a knowledgeable and colorful general studies scholar, and work in the library system.
The second one is to give up taking the general doctoral certification exam, become an appraiser, and take the route of appraiser assistant - appraiser - senior appraiser.
But in this way, they left the library system, away from the subsidies provided to them by the college's top management and associations, and embarked on the path of self-reliance.
General studies, to a certain extent, are a highly specialized category of magic with a very narrow application field.
Hence, they can only be seen in the larger wizarding colleges in the southeast corner, and the jobs they can find are very limited. Most of them live on subsidies from the White Wizards Association.
But there are also some senior appraisers who live a very nourishing life.
Locke walked up to the first-class wizard apprentice, the dwarf Orr, and said: "Scholar Orr, what score did I get for the article I handed in six days ago?"
Dwarf Orr's eyes lit up when he saw Locke walking over. "Augustine Potion Master, you are here. If you don't come, I originally wanted to send you a letter."
"Augustine Potion Master, the article you sent over six days ago has passed the cross-examination and judgment of three doctors of general studies (first-class wizard apprentices), and the evaluation score is 71 points. The classification level is B level."
"You can get 50 contribution points."
The dwarf Orr held a yellow leather envelope with fingers as thin as bones and handed it to Locke. "You don't have to come in person in the future. You potion masters are very busy. I will arrange for the servants in the library to deliver the letter."
"You have just been promoted to the first-class wizard apprentice not long ago. I didn't expect to publish an article with a score of 70 or above so soon."
Dwarf Orr's eyes flickered, with a cunning look in his eyes. 「而且你手上，应该有一头高等级的吸血鬼俘虏，否则你发不出那篇文章。」
"I'm really envious. From that vampire, you should be able to publish five or six more related articles. As long as you can reach 60 points or above, which is C level, you can get 20 contribution points." "Your article is very interesting. I like to read articles related to vampires. Unfortunately, the number of such articles is limited and there are very few studies."
"I hope you can post a few more articles. Oh, by the way, you caught a vampire, does the academy know about it?"
Locke nodded slightly to him and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you. I will try to be as quick as possible. Scholar Orr, I put that vampire in the magical creature breeding room of my wizard mentor."
Dwarf scholar Orr nodded understandingly. "It's an official wizard's collection, so that makes sense."
"You can keep that vampire and do your own research."
In the library system, first-class wizard apprentices publish articles and do not need to rely on their own wizard mentors. After all, there are a large number of general studies doctors and general wizard apprentices in the library system.
General studies means learning everything and being able to understand a little bit of everything. They cannot do it themselves, but they are very professional in their evaluation and appreciation.
The greatest value of these general scholars is to preserve knowledge and inheritance for the college, record various achievements within the college, review these achievements, and classify them into grades.
Also, these general wizards can use spells from the prophecy school.
They are needed when recording something in the library, or when querying a certain part of knowledge.
There is a vast amount of information inside the library, and it is really difficult to find the knowledge you need without using prophecy spells.
The article grading system in the college is divided into S level (90 points-100 points), A level (80 points-89 points), B level (70-79 points), C level (60 points-69 points), and D level (less than 60 points).
The contribution points that can be obtained in the same level are almost the same. The score grading within the same level is only for wizards who come to inquire to understand the reliability of these materials and the excellence of the research methods.
So, the score is just for yourself. If you care about the magic resources and qualifications obtained, the level of the article is the most important.
S-level is a breakthrough achievement, with innovative potential and a very high citation rate. This type of thing has basically nothing to do with me now, it is all official wizard-level things.
Level A is an important research result that has made a substantial breakthrough in existing theory/technology.
If Locke dared to disclose his memory ointment formula and the cultivation methods of several magic plants, then these articles of his should be of this level, just because they are all apprentice level things, and the scores are not high enough.
Level B refers to articles that use qualified research methods, but have limited innovation and only have some highlights. Relatively speaking, they are relatively useful as materials.
Locke initially thought that the article he submitted could not be evaluated as a B grade, but he did not expect that it would still be evaluated as a B grade.
Probably because the academy is having a wizard war with the Blood Curse Tribunal.
Level C refers to articles that are relatively basic research, have some slight practical value, but are not that useful.
As for D-level articles, they are articles without any reward. They only serve to enrich the library and have no other significant effect. This type of article is also the most common in the library.
Because many first-class wizard apprentices cannot guarantee the quality when they continue to publish articles. Sometimes they rely entirely on luck, and then they will be recognized by general wizards as useless articles.
Then it became just something to enrich the number of books in the library.
This classification is similar in all the college libraries in the southeast corner and the association libraries of the White Wizards Association.
It's just an association library, which is stricter than an academic library. Basically, when the materials in the association library are brought to the college library, they will be automatically upgraded by one level.
For example, B-level articles in association libraries are generally half a level higher in better academic libraries, but in lower-level academic libraries, they are A-level articles.
Locke opened the envelope and saw the congratulations from the scholars in the college library and a reward of 50 contribution points.
Locke fell into a trance for a moment. "Yuli went to the mortal world and worked hard for several months to earn 20 contribution points. I just posted an article and earned 50 contribution points. 』
ifiesous in the fact that publishing articles is the fastest way to earn contribution points? 』
Locke sighed for a moment.
But then he thought about it and realized that it was wrong. Publishing articles was the fastest way to get contribution points. Everyone knew this.
But the problem is that not everyone has the ability to publish articles with high scores. Most people can only publish some inferior articles with scores below 60.
