On the ninth day, before the sun rose, the camp became lively. Adventurers always got up early, and they got up even earlier when camping in the wild. Fortunately, they went to bed early last night. Although they didn't sleep well in the wilderness, they were no longer sleepy.
After tidying up the tent, he realized that Shiloh and Luana had woken up earlier than him. Their tents had already been put away in the car, so he said goodbye to the two women and walked to the river with his toiletries. Although it was only half past five and he could barely see the ground under the scattered light of the clouds, when he reached the river near the camp, his good mood in the morning was shattered. At this time, he saw a row of naked muscular men bathing by the river. His eyes were almost blinded.
After walking a little further upstream to wash up, Gong You carried a bucket of water and leisurely strolled back to the camp. He was scolded by the two girls who had taken the initiative to start a fire for breakfast for making them wait for too long. He did not want to quarrel early in the morning, so he could only smile and tell a cold joke to change the topic. However, he did not know if it was because they were from different cultures, but the two girls actually felt that his cold joke was very boring, which made him feel a little depressed.
At six o'clock, the sun had just risen above the horizon. The campfire that had been maintained throughout the night was extinguished by the adventurers who were the last to keep watch. Dilmude's loud voice rang out at this time, reminding the adventurers to get ready as soon as possible. The convoy was about to set off for the border town. Those who missed it had to walk back on their own. They quickly moved the horses tied to the tree onto the carriage, and then drove the carriage to follow the convoy when they left the camp. However, when he turned around, he realized that a few adventurers had been left behind to guard the camp. Could it be that they were waiting for the mine owner to send someone to hand them over?
The journey was smooth, especially since they had fewer materials and other goods on the way back. Therefore, the convoy returned to the border town after more than four hours. They stopped at the entrance of the guild with the other carriages, and then everyone went in to hand over the mission, especially the mission of collecting medicinal herbs that Luana had accepted alone. She had been talking about it for almost a day.
At this time, Gong You and Hilo were sitting in the lounge area of the hall, watching Luana line up to hand over the mission. He even stopped Hilo, who wanted to go to the notice wall to take a look, and explained in a low voice," Let's rest today. In the afternoon, you can accompany Luana to go shopping. Tomorrow morning, we can take on new missions together."”
After hearing Common Cause's request, Hilo could only sit down and wait for Luana. However, Hilo's gaze at the notice wall from time to time revealed her true thoughts. Although she did not have much savings, she did not lack money. At least she did not lack the small amount of money she needed for daily life. She just did not want to waste time and waste time, so she wanted to find something to do. This had become her personality habit.
Fortunately, there were few people in the guild at this time. Luana quickly finished dealing with the collection commission. At this time, she ran over excitedly to the three of them and said," Look at this. Many people are filling it out now.”
When the curious Common Cause and Hilo each received a form, they finally understood why Luana was so excited. The form she brought over was an application form that adventurers needed to submit if they wanted to increase their adventurer rank. The adventurer rank was based on their actual performance, past remuneration accumulation, contribution to the local society and surrounding areas, personality evaluation, and many other joint assessments. Therefore, the impact of the commission was quite large. For low-level adventurers, as long as there was not too much of a problem with their personality, they should be able to level up smoothly.
The result was that all three of them had filled in the application form for the promotion examination. Although they might not be able to pass the examination with a 100% success rate and increase their adventurer rank, it was good to give it a try. Anyway, the success rate was very high, and there was no loss if they failed. Why not give it a try? However, this was only the fourth day since he registered as an Adventurer. It had only been a day since his last upgrade, and he had only completed two commissions. One of them was still slacking. He also felt that this situation was a little strange for ordinary Adventurers.
After the three of them submitted their " Rank Promotion Request Forms," Catelia informed them that many people had submitted the same applications today, resulting in a shortage of manpower in the Guild for the next two days. Their applications would need to be postponed for two to three days before they could be reviewed. She told them to participate in the Adventurer's Activity as usual for now. Once the results were out, she would notify them to undergo a personality review.
When they left the guild, Luana whispered to Shiloh,"I asked just now. The novice dormitory affiliated to the guild only costs 80 copper coins (32 RMB) per day. The two of us can stay in one room. After all, this kind of dormitory is operated by the guild to help adventurers save money.”
" Kulloai told me that she'll be leaving the temple tomorrow. She's planning to return to her hometown for a while and then go back to the magic academy to continue her studies. Let's move out tomorrow too. I'm supposed to leave the temple when I'm an adult..." Hilo replied in a low voice. Although he heard their conversation, he couldn't interrupt since it was about money.
Although Gongyou had the ability to lend money to the two women…or even give them a certain amount of money, this kind of behavior was too hurtful. Even if they were partners in the same adventure team, they would be angry. Or rather, it was because they were partners that he couldn't do this. Unless the two of them were really at the end of their rope, he couldn't take the initiative to bring up such a topic. Therefore, he could only say," I remember there's a restaurant in the East District that tastes very good. I'm a little hungry. Come with me, it's my treat today.”
Luana was usually very independent, but she liked to take advantage of others, so she immediately pulled Hilo and agreed happily. Although Hilo was a little embarrassed, he had developed a bad habit of asking him to pay for the meal, so he did not object. Therefore, the three of them decided to have a good time today after a hard day in the wild. According to him, they should maintain a balance between work and rest.
Gong You didn't go back to the hotel, but drove the carriage directly to the town square. The two girls were discussing their future income and budget in the hood. Because the majority of the expenses for the two adventures were paid by him, the two girls received a reward equivalent to more than 900 RMB in just four days. Overall, it was a little surplus, and they didn't have to live a tight life.
After a while, the carriage crossed the square and turned into the West Street. The two women realized that this was not the way to the North Temple. Luana asked curiously," Gongyou, where are we going?" Aren't you going to park the carriage in the temple's courtyard?”
"Oh, I bought a two-story house with a courtyard nearby the night before last. I plan to park the carriage there in the future.”He answered casually. He had actually thought about this problem when he was at the mine camp yesterday. Although he had borrowed the carriage to park in the temple because the hotel staff was too messy and he often used the hood as a locker, he could not always do so. Although he did not take the initiative to ask the day before yesterday, he was very surprised and bought a house. In the future, he could put the carriage in the courtyard here. He just needed to buy a few more safety deposit boxes in the house to store the coins.
"Buy a house? You actually bought a house?" Luana screamed in surprise. Her expression was even more surprised than when she first saw Gongyou wearing enchanted equipment." Aren't you going to the capital?”
"That's right. Although Mr. Gongyou doesn't look like he's short of money, buying a house... this kind of thing... is too exaggerated.”Hilo exclaimed as well. She now had a deeper understanding of common sense.
"It's just a house. The price is less than a third of my equipment.”Gong You explained helplessly. He felt that he had just used his pocket money to buy a small commodity. In the end, someone told him that it was the ultimate dream that he could only buy with his 'lifetime saves'. He was also very speechless.
"Even if that's the case, it's still too strange. It's too lacking in common sense.”Shiloh was still muttering as if she had suffered a mental blow. She had longed for home since she was young.
Luana, on the other hand, kept her mouth shut. Her eyes darted around and her expression was ambiguous, as if she was thinking of some bad idea. Then, a strange smile appeared on her lips. She looked at Gongyou and did not say anything. He was so scared that his shoulders trembled. When he turned around to look, he found that her face was calm and there was nothing unusual.
The carriage had arrived at Peter's old residence. Of course, its name had been changed to New Residence. The courtyard had been cleaned and the garbage had been cleaned away. The house looked good. The 600,000 RMB was not wasted. However, he did not know if the house had been cleaned well. According to the spirit of the contract in this world, it should have been done well, right?
The contract was very sacred in this world. The more merchants there were, the more they respected the contract. After all, this was a world where there were gods and magic. If one broke the contract for no reason and was judged by the Holy Knight for evil, it would be a big joke. In the worst case, one's life might even end. There was once an example. There was a swindler who had committed all kinds of crimes in his hometown. One day, when he went to a big city, he was seen through by a passing Holy Knight with the Eye of Judgement. As a result, he was killed on the street. The blood column was so high that half the street was stained with blood. In the end, the corpses were even fed to the dogs, especially the clergymen of the lawful camp. Not only did they have to maintain their integrity, friendliness, and loveliness, but they also often used those who were dishonest to boost their performance and earn bonuses. The people of the evil camp were miserable. They did not dare to go out in the city during the day, and even at night, they were afraid that their heads would be exchanged for rewards without them knowing. Therefore, they could only stay in the countryside where the church's power was weak and struggle to survive.
Although Cripple Peter was a drunkard, he used to be a businessman. After selling all his assets for a large amount of money, he had recovered a little bit of his rationality. He should have cleaned up the house and prayed for a miracle to repair his limbs before leaving Border Town. Therefore, after parking the carriage, the three of them entered the house and found that other than the old dirt that could not be cleaned, even the roof had been wiped clean.
Luana happily ran around the house, from room to room, touching here and there, checking every corner carefully, as if this was her own home. It made Gongyou feel the lively atmosphere of taking a little girl to the zoo. On the contrary, Hilo followed him closely, carefully checking the rooms and corridors without making any noise, like a timid kitten entering a new environment. They were two different types of people from Canine Sect's Luanna, but the two of them got along well.
"Hey, hey, do you still remember the agreement last night?”After checking the whole house, Luana ran to the common man and asked a strange question.
"What agreement? Accompany you on an adventure?" After thinking about it, he could only come up with that answer. He just didn't understand why Luana suddenly mentioned this.
"Not that. Although that is also very important, I'm talking about another agreement.”Luana pursed her lips unhappily and said," It's the agreement that you have to play with me when I want to bet.”
"Oh, it's this. And then?”He remembered that he had mentioned this promise last night to Luana to persuade her not to go wrestling.
"Let's have a bet now. If I win, you'll let me and Hilo stay here for free. If I lose, you'll…you'll…you'll let us stay here, but we'll clean the place and prepare breakfast for you every day.”Luana cunningly proposed a bet that was beneficial to her. She even covered Shiloh's mouth with both hands to prevent Shiloh from saying anything.
"You're really cunning, but if it's wrestling, I can't beat you, so there's no need for a bet.”Although Gong You didn't object to the two girls staying here, he didn't want to spoil Luana too much. It would spoil her.
"Then let's not wrestle. Let's compete in…arm wrestling. How about that?”Luana said with a smile. She probably knew that Gongyou was not easy to fool, so she proposed another plan that seemed to be beneficial to him.
What's my win rate?』
[Omniscient: 50%]
"Arm wrestling is fine, but don't cry if you lose.”Although Gong You didn't know why his winning rate was so low, he didn't have to win, so he agreed.
"Wait a minute, Miss Luana. Please don't make things difficult for Mr. Gongyou.”When Hilo was released from his mouth, he immediately retorted Luana. She was really a kind girl.
"Alright, alright. Didn't Gongyou agree? Let's start now.”Luana happily pulled Gong You and ran to the kitchen. That was the only place where they could arm-wrestle.
Gong You and Luana started to arm wrestle on the stove. He found that her strength was much stronger than he had imagined. This was not the strange strength that a woman should have. Just as the two of them were trying their best to fight each other, she suddenly leaned forward and changed into a better position. As she got closer, a faint smell of sweat came from her. Gong You's breathing became chaotic, his heart went soft, his muscles ached, and the strength in his hands relaxed. Immediately, she took advantage of the victory and slowly but firmly pressed down on his arm.
However, Hilo, who was beside the two of them, looked at their faces that were so close to each other. His little face frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Alright, I won." After confirming her victory, Luana immediately jumped up and hugged Hilo, who was shorter than her. She shouted, her little face flushed red, either from excitement or from trying her best.
" I actually... lost..." Gong You muttered to himself as he looked at Luana, who was singing and dancing happily.
Luana was only 1.62 meters tall, which was 15 centimeters shorter than Gong You. The huge difference in height and gender should have brought about a huge difference in strength. He really wanted to win just now, but in the end, he lost in a direct confrontation of strength.
"Mr. Gongyou, Pugilists all know a technique called Force. They are often much stronger than ordinary people in terms of pure strength.”Hilo saw Gongyou's disappointed expression and immediately comforted him in a gentle tone. She had wanted to remind him before, but she had never had the chance.
"Hahahaha, this will be my house from now on.”Luana didn't care if he was disappointed or not. She had been shouting happily and hadn't calmed down yet.
"Miss Luana, we're just staying at Mr. Commoner's house. This is his house.”Helpless, Hilo corrected Luanna. She was still embarrassed by Luanna's shameless remarks, so she could only ask Gong You seriously," Mr. Gong You, can we really live here?" If possible, I will pay the rent."
"There's no need to pay rent. If you want to stay, then stay. We're all in the same adventure team anyway.”Gong You took a deep breath and rubbed his shoulders as he said," It's better to say that it's more convenient for you to take risks by staying here. It's not good for a team to live separately.”
" But..." Hilo still had some misgivings. She had been taught by the church to be honest and friendly since she was young. It was not in line with her character to stay outside without spending money.
"Well, well, Hilo, you can rest assured.”After Luana comforted Hilo, she said like the real owner of the house," All the furniture in this house has been moved out. Let's hurry up and buy new furniture.”
That was indeed the case. Although Peter would not openly violate the transaction contract, his merchant nature still allowed him to find a small loophole. Before he left, he moved and sold all the furniture in the house that was not in the contract. Now there was not even a small chair in the house, let alone a big bed. However, even if Peter did not move the furniture, he still wanted to change it to a new set. Anyway, he was not short of money.
"Get on the carriage. Let's go to the market to order furniture.”Luana pulled Hilo and ran out of the door before calling Gongyou from outside." Hurry up, Gongyou, why are you always so slow?"”
Seeing Luana running around like a husky, Gongyou could only feel helpless for Hilo, who was being dragged around. Then, he slowly got up and left. However, the three of them did not go to the market first. Instead, they went back to the hotel and temple to change into casual clothes. They went to the best restaurants in town for lunch, and then went to the furniture shop in the East End.
.
He had thought that Luana would choose the bed first, but when it came to choosing furniture, she had to buy a bathtub first. If it was possible, he would prefer a shower, but in a world where there was no running water, a bathtub was not unacceptable. So he chose the largest model he could find-a two-meter-long carved bathtub made of white porcelain, a convenient substance invented by alchemists. When she saw that the price was actually 50 silver coins (2,500 RMB), her excited expression immediately became as listless as a frosted eggplant.
"Mr. Gongyou, isn't this too expensive? " Why don't we change it to a smaller one…" Hilo also felt that the price was ridiculous. In this world, porcelain was a very cheap material. The lowest-level adventurer nameplate that had just been registered was made of white porcelain.
"It's indeed not cheap, but I like it. I'll buy it.”All the items below 10 gold coins (30,000 RMB) were the same. If they liked it, they would buy it. Who cared if it was expensive or not?
The second item was the wardrobe. There was no such thing as solid wood in this world because everything was made of solid wood. Moreover, wood was very cheap in this world. It could be found all over the mountains and plains. Even if it was cut down, no one would stop it. The price of a wardrobe still depended on the craftsmanship. A good craftsman was expensive, while an apprentice's was cheap. This time, he did not deliberately buy the expensive ones. Instead, he chose five large wardrobes. That's right, five. He planned to put one in every empty room, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
Next was the bed. He chose a two-by-two meter bed for himself. Luana and Hilo were too embarrassed to buy a good one when he paid for it, so they chose a cheap single bed. He did not object and let them like it. In the end, the three-made bed was cheaper than the wardrobe. The three of them also bought three new sets of sheets and mattresses. This time, he ignored the objections of the two women and chose the best and most expensive one. Then he realized that the price of fabric in this world was much more expensive than wood.
When it came to choosing a sofa, Luana did not stand on ceremony with him. She took the initiative to choose a large sofa that was more than enough for seven or eight people to chat with. The design was really good, so he paid the bill directly. He also equipped several sets of tables and chairs, one for each room. There were no chemical colors in this world, so the furniture could be used directly without leaving it behind.
He didn't know how to choose between the kitchen utensils and cutlery, so it was Hilo's turn. When she was in the temple, she often did some chores such as serving tea, pouring water, lighting fires, and cooking. She knew all kinds of utensils very well. He liked the tea set she chose at first glance. In the end, he even bought an extra set as a backup. He also bought three sets of pots and pans.
Finally, the three of them chose to buy the curtains, lamps, decorations, and crafts that they liked. Even if they bought them quickly, it was already close to dusk by the time they bought all the furniture. After paying an extra sum of money to have the items shipped back, they had the time to calculate the total cost. It was about 90,000 RMB. It seemed that even if it was wood, the value would be quite high if they bought too much.
.
As the carriage had already been sent back by the merchants, the three of them left the market on foot. On the way, they asked the two women if there was anything else they had not bought. Hilo suddenly mentioned an alchemical item that could specifically kill mosquitoes and other pests, so the three of them planned to go to the alchemical item shop.
After buying a few bottles of powerful insect repellent that cost two silver coins (100 RMB) each in the alchemy shop, he saw a bookstore nearby and walked in. He didn't expect that there would be some books about magic besides storybooks, biographies, and illustrations.
According to Hilo's explanation, books related to magic could be bought in all bookstores. Magic techniques were not hidden in this world, and books related to magic were not more expensive than books in other fields. The reason was simple. Because the human kings were trying their best to promote the popularity of magic, anyone in this world could become a mage. Therefore, an environment where even commoners could easily obtain magic-related books was established. It was to nurture people with magic talent to become excellent Mages as soon as possible. This was very important to the kingdom, to mankind, and to civilization.
"Although anyone can become a mage, the amount of effort required is different. The more talented a person is in magic, the lower the cost of becoming a mage.”Hilo explained seriously. The talented people she was talking about were probably people like Kloei, who could become an official spellcaster at the age of sixteen.
"It is said that only one out of every thousand people will become an official mage, and only one out of every thousand official mages will become a grand mage.”Luana took over Hilo's explanation. When she was a child, she often heard her father talk about magic in an envious tone, and then she whispered," It's strange that someone like you can use advanced magic so casually.”
Among the 99.9% of the population who had no talent, even if they studied magic for their entire lives, they could only create small flames. The magic world had a special definition for these things, which was 'tricks'. No ruler would find it too much to have an official mage who could cast a Basic Spell like a fireball that could burn monsters to death. After all, in this world full of monsters, humans were too weak.
Although Gongyou could use magic now, he was still curious about what magic was. Therefore, he spent 18 silver coins (900RMB) to buy a set of six textbooks,"Easy to Learn Magic, A Guide to the Complete Book of Magic (Basic Knowledge of Magic)". Each book contained more than 300 A4 sheets of paper, and the total content of the six books was close to 4,000 pages. These books were not light, and they weighed about 70% to 80% of the weight of a standard water bucket.
After buying the book, Gong You immediately extinguished his desire to continue shopping. He carried his gift bag and headed to the hotel. He planned to check out again. It would be strange to stay in a hotel when he already had his own home. Luana planned to stay behind to help move things, while Hilo went to the market to buy groceries. The three of them decided to have dinner at their new house tonight and hold a simple family banquet to celebrate their new move.
The innkeeper was used to letting adventurers come and go, so he returned all the deposits without making things difficult for him. After returning to his new home, he busied himself with cleaning up until sunset.
.
The living room was brightly lit by the overlapping lights. Previously, Hilo had said that there was no need to install so many lights, but now she was full of praise for the surrounding lamps. Meanwhile, Luana was busy with dinner in the kitchen. She had wanted to go in and help, but she said that since he had already claimed the food expenses from now on, he didn't need to cook personally from now on. On the contrary, she didn't stop Hilo when she went to help. To put it bluntly, the two of them wanted to show their value. If she showed off her cooking skills in front of him, he could only read to pass the time.
He sat on the sofa in the living room and flipped through the magic textbook in boredom. There was too much content in the book. It took him half an hour just to flip through the table of contents, not to mention the introduction of each chapter. Fortunately, Omniscient was the best teacher. He could help him pick out the necessary basic knowledge points and learn them directly, saving him a lot of time to repeatedly flip through them. Otherwise, he would have given up learning magic and become an illiterate mage who only knew how to spend money.
The Western dinner was much simpler than the Chinese banquet, so the two girls quickly prepared the dinner and brought it to the dining room. The freshly bought sweet bread, boiled fresh vegetables, boiled beans, roasted whole birds, sauces, and so on. Although the taste was not as good as professional restaurants, they were very satisfied with the dinner since the two beautiful girls personally cooked.
During the meal, Hilo looked at Gong You and hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind and asked," Mr. Gong You, do you have any special talent?”
"Hmm? What do you mean?" He turned his attention away from the food and asked in confusion, what kind of strange topic was this?
" It's…For example, you can find a goblin's stronghold in the forest, find a magic book in a night, easily find the herbs Miss Luana needs, and so on. You can find anything you want immediately. I once read similar records in the church's library. Every sage has a special talent that ordinary people don't have. I'm wondering if Mr. Common-by has some special talent too.”Hilo explained while staring at Commonby's face, trying to find some evidence to prove her guess. As for the fact that he had used a spellbook, she had already guessed it when he used magic yesterday.
Luana, who was sitting next to Hilo, was stunned. She repeated the two words to herself," Sage? Talent?"
Looking at the two women who were looking at him, Gong You felt a headache coming on. Why are you so sharp? Can you give him some privacy? Why did you dig out all his secrets?
" Do sages really have special talents?』
[Omniscient: All the great sages of this world have the special talent of Heaven's Revelation.]
What is a revelation from the heavens?』
[Omniscient: A special talent that can sense the spirit of the universe and vaguely predict the future situation. It can also be used to find things.]
" There really is one. I've been tricked by the legends left behind by the great sages of the past.'Gong You felt a headache coming on. If he wanted to go on adventures with the two women in the future, they would definitely discover more abnormal behaviors that were different from ordinary people. It was better to say that Hilo had already discovered the abnormality in his body.
" What's the difference between a sage and a great sage?』
" Omniscient: A sage is a person who has made a great contribution to society, but a great sage is only a person who is a prophet. Most people confuse the two."
" Who is more powerful, you or that prophetic revelation from heaven?』
[Omniscient: This Machine]
" That's true. One is a prophet, and the other is omniscient. You can tell who's stronger just by looking at their names.'He felt a sense of pride that his things were of a higher grade than others, but he was soon troubled. After thinking quietly for half a minute, he came up with a solution that was not a solution, which was to impersonate the Great Sage.
" Ahem, Hilo, you're really sensitive. I do have the talent to 'find what I'm looking for.' Every time I really want to find something, it's like I've been 'enlightened' and I'll unintentionally sense some information and know where that thing is.”The half-truths and half-lies were leading Hilo to guess in the wrong direction.
"Mr. Gongyou, you…are truly a sage.”Hilo excitedly folded his hands in front of his chest, his eyes shining as he stared at the common cause. However, before, it was a question, and this time, it was a statement.
"What? Gongyou is really a sage? The kind of sages in storybooks?" Luana was so shocked that she was incoherent. She had never dreamed that she could become a companion of a sage.
"Ahem, I haven't confirmed it myself, so don't tell anyone, okay?”Although Gongyou didn't know how powerful the legendary Great Sage's Revelation of Heaven was, since it couldn't compare to omniscience, who could tell if he used omniscience to impersonate the Great Sage?
"Alright, Mr. Gongyou. I won't reveal this secret even if I have to pay with my life.”Hilo immediately swore a solemn oath. Perhaps she really could keep this lie until she died.
"Me, me, and me. I won't tell anyone either.”Luana also made a promise. Although she looked very serious, she felt that she was just there to make up the numbers. It didn't matter even if she leaked it.
Seeing that the threat of his true secret being leaked was replaced by a lie, Common Cause heaved a sigh of relief. As long as no one found out about his identity as a transmigrator and the existence of an omniscient search engine, he did not care. At most, he would pretend to be the Great Sage and fool the natives. It was not a big deal.
The atmosphere at the dining table returned to normal. There was no such thing as " eating without talking " in a family dinner. The three of them talked about the details of the previous two missions and looked forward to the beautiful scenery in the future. The dinner was finished in such a happy environment. After dinner, the two women sat idly for a while before leaving. They still had to stay in the temple's visitor area to accompany Kulloei. When she returned home tomorrow morning, Hilo and Luana would move out of the temple and move in together. When they asked if they needed help moving things, However, they were told that they did not need it because all their personal belongings were just a few sets of clothes.
After giving the two women the keys to the new lock, he leaned against the door frame and watched them leave. With Luana by his side, he didn't have to worry about Shiloh's safety. He was ready to try the big bathtub.
.
At night, after taking a shower, he leaned back on the bed and continued to read the magic textbook under the comfortable light of the bedroom. This time, he was officially reading, so he started from the most basic parts and tried to fill in the gaps in his magic knowledge. The most basic part of magic was meditation.
"The method to determine the limit of one's potential is very simple. First, perform the four arithmetic operations within one digit. After you are familiar with it, change it to the four arithmetic operations within two digits. After you are used to it, change it to the three digit operations, and so on. If you are unable to continue increasing the number of digits in your mind during meditation, you can almost be sure that your potential has reached the limit. It is best to change your profession at this time.」
"If you still don't want to give up and want to continue advancing in the world of magic, you should work hard to train your precision and try to become a magic tool maker.」
It turned out that the magic world had already studied the details to such an extent and made them public without reservation. Moreover, even though the learning methods had been thoroughly studied, only one in a thousand people could truly become an official sorcerer in the end. This was just like the society on Earth, where a group of people were eliminated from compulsory education to high school and university, a group of people were eliminated from undergraduate to master's and doctor's degrees, and finally, a group of people were eliminated from researchers to academic giants. The chances of becoming a cutting-edge scientist were less than one in a million.
"If you can achieve any four arithmetic operations within a sixteen-digit range through meditation within three years, then you'll have reached the standard of entry-level magic. However, if you want to become an excellent mage, then achieving four arithmetic operations within a thirty-two-digit range is only the minimum requirement.」
"To put it simply, talented people can succeed immediately. Those who can't, no matter how hard they try, are useless.」
The last page of the first book contained a very cruel explanation. In fact, it was meant to let people without magic talent change their life goals and stop wasting time on magic. There was not only a profession in this world. Warriors and priests were also a way to survive. They could even leave the combat profession and become merchants, craftsmen, farmers, and so on to make a living.
" Other than mainstream magic, I heard that there was another system of magic in ancient times. Unfortunately, it has been lost in the Magic World today…"
The editor of this book also told some unsolved rumors in the magic world, which made Gongyou interested in those rumors as he read. Compared to the editor who was regretful that he could not verify them, he had an omniscient search engine to find out the truth.
" How many magic systems are there in this world?』
[Omniscient: The magic of this galaxy can be divided into three systems: construction magic, inheritance magic, and contract magic.]
"Omniscient: Construction (tool) magic includes the incantations of the mainstream magic net (mage), the tactics of ancient magic (arcanist), and the runes of current magic (alchemist)."
[Omniscient: Inherited (Body Refining) Magic includes the natural spells of magical beasts (Beast Tamer), the bloodline spells of Warlocks (Atavism), and the secret medicines and inscriptions of warriors (Rune Fighter)]
"Omniscient: Contract (loan) magic includes God Prayer (Priest), Ancestral Soul Sacrificer (Spirit Medium), Elf Worshiper (Elementalist)"
'It's too messy. I can't learn it at all for a beginner like me.'He felt that just memorizing these unfamiliar terms was enough to give him a headache.
Which system is the easiest to learn?』
[Omniscient: Weave Magic]
'I've decided. I'll ignore the other systems for now and focus on learning Weave magic.'Gong You finally struggled out of the messy information and found the most suitable path for himself.
The first volume ended here, so he skipped through it with the reminder of omniscience. From the table of contents, the first volume had a lot of content, including the basic knowledge of magic and its surroundings, the history of development, the biographies of famous people, the praise of social contributions, etc. But the most important part was the analysis of the images and texts of meditation. The other content that had nothing to do with magic could be read again when he had time. He did not have time to waste on such messy information now. So he picked up the second book and began to read.
"Real magic isn't something that can be done simply by imagination. After the beginner has learned all the basic knowledge, the next step is to learn the incantation. The so-called incantation is to compress the information of a manual into a paragraph of language to store the information. Even the incantation of a magic trick has thousands of words and a few pictures of information if it is unpacked. The amount of information contained in it was equivalent to millions of words and thousands of pictures.」
It usually took several years to learn a complete incantation. Beginners usually started with cantrips. First, they had to memorize thousands of words of the language, then assemble several corresponding meditation pictures into the initial three-dimensional geometric data model in their minds. Then, according to the instructions, they would transform the model, transform it again, and compress it. A talented person could compress it into a paragraph of incantation in a year at the earliest. Every word in it was in the four-dimensional form.(length, width, height, spin). Finally, with the help of a medium such as a staff or ring, you only need to successfully connect to the ubiquitous magic net and gradually complete the casting process.
"If everything goes well up to this point, you can become a trainee mage in five years.」
The content of the second volume was mainly about the basics of incantations, but reading it didn't mean that he would immediately learn it. It should be said that he had just started after reading it. Whether or not he could complete the incantation in the end depended on his understanding. Most people would only read the third volume after completing the incantation, but because there was already an incantation, he picked up the third volume and continued reading.
"If you want to join the job and become an official mage, you need to complete at least one spell slot on the Magic Web.”
"To complete a spell slot, you need to construct at least one Basic Spell.」
The third, fourth, and fifth books were all about basic incantations, which were the foundation of incantations and the advancement of cantrips in the second book. The common reason was that he had directly obtained spell slots and incantations through the magic book. He had jumped from an ordinary person who did not know anything to an official mage, so he did not feel much about the hardships described in the books. However, he could now connect to the magic net directly without relying on a magic staff, so there was no need to buy an additional magic staff. Although it looked good, it was inconvenient to carry.
Gong You wanted to read all the textbooks before carefully studying the incantations, so he picked up the last sixth book and began to read.
The first half of the book explained the basics of spell slots on the magic net. The book had a detailed description of spell slots, which was probably equivalent to a 'registered account' on the magic net. The account and password were transferred by the person who wrote the magic book, thus inheriting the five registered accounts called spell slots. However, if he were to open the sixth spell slot himself now, he felt that it would be better to wash up and sleep. There was everything in his dream.
Even if an official mage created a new spell slot, it would take at least a year each time, and that was under the condition that they were not disturbed by mundane matters. Moreover, the more spell slots there were, the harder it was to open up new spell slots. Many experienced and outstanding mages could not open up more than 20 spell slots in their entire lives. Therefore, Gongyou felt that if he wanted to add new spell slots, the best way was to read more magic books and directly inherit spell slots from his Epic predecessors.
The second half of the sixth book only introduced the types and levels of magic incantations, and did not involve the specific content. According to the book, there were nine types of magic (factions and factions), namely:
(1) Good Order, Prophecy (Identification, Detection),(2) Neutral Order, Evocation (Elemental, Missile),(3) Evil Order, Spirit (Hallucination, Invisibility);
4. Neutral Good, Defensive (Armor, Barrier), 5. Absolute Neutral, Common (Enchantment, Wish), 6. Neutral Evil, Psychic (Control, Charm);
7. Chaotic Good Summoning (Curse, Ritual), 8. Chaotic Neutral Transformation (Body Strengthening, Transformation), 9. Chaotic Evil Soul (Necromancy, Curse).
There were only five levels of magic, and he found the only Petrification Spell he knew among them. According to the description, it was an Advanced Spell that had achieved a change in nature. He flipped through the simple description of the magic levels again.
Firstly, the cantrip was to control the changes in the state. The illumination was to convert magic energy into internal energy, and then the internal energy into light energy. On top of that, Zhaoming was a common system.
(2) Basic magic was to control the change of form. The fireball was to compress high-temperature plasma into a ball and then shoot it out with a magnetic field. In addition, Fireball belonged to the Evocation class.
(3) Intermediate magic was to control the change of structure. The Diamond Armor was to rearrange the carbon element into diamonds and then mold it into armor. In addition, the diamond armor belonged to the defensive system.
(4) Advanced magic was to control the change of properties. The petrification was to break down matter into neutrons and neutrons, and then recombine them into chemical elements. In addition, Petrification belonged to the Transformation class.
(5) Super Spells were used to control the environment. The transfer spell was used to cut objects onto the magic net and then paste them onto the target. In addition, teleportation belonged to the Summoning Element.
After reading the second half of the sixth volume several times, he realized that some of the contents were easy to understand, but some were hard to understand. In general, the types of magic were the 'application methods' and the levels of magic were the 'theoretical essence'. It seemed that he did not have enough knowledge to fully understand it. It was like explaining the periodic table of chemical elements to a kindergarten child. With the amount of knowledge a child had, he would not be able to understand the meaning of the diagram. Now, Common Cause encountered a similar problem. It could understand every word, but it lacked the ability to connect them.
After flipping through the six magic textbooks in a hurry, he finally had the most basic understanding of magic. He also understood how he should continue to walk in the world of magic. The first thing he needed to learn was the incantation illumination. The reason why he chose this incantation was that it was the easiest to learn. According to his estimation, he only needed to focus on studying for an hour every night, and he would be able to construct this cantrip in about a month.
After making his decision, Common Cause began to model the incantation until he went to sleep. However, just as he closed his eyes and was about to sleep, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Omniscient…
" Where's the easiest magic book to get closest to me?』
[Omniscient: In…]
Gong You could finally sleep in peace after hearing this.
