Chapter 33 Advanced
When Jiang Shuzhou chose these spells, he considered as many possibilities as possible.
These spells include attack, defense, communication, and healing, and even identification to prevent being scammed.
Although the inventory can be used for identification, that requires ownership of the item. Some people on the forum have tried it and found that without ownership of the item, you cannot see the item's attributes simply by touching it.
This is where the Appraisal spell comes in. The Appraisal spell needs to be bound to a medium, which is usually a book that specifically collects various magical items. Only in this way can the Appraisal spell play its maximum role.
However, this didn't matter to Jiang Shuzhou, as he could bind the medium to the system.
This system is far more valuable than any encyclopedia of magical items.
Having chosen the spell to study, Jiang Shuzhou didn't dawdle any longer. It was still the captain's cabin, still a single candle, and a whole day passed—a miracle occurred.
Learning first-order spells was simpler than Jiang Shuzhou had imagined, perhaps because he had already accumulated a considerable amount of spellcasting experience and knowledge of various runes.
He originally thought he could only learn one spell a day, but it was clear that Jiang Shuzhou had underestimated himself.
Looking at the small fireball in front of him and feeling the intense heat it contained, a look of fascination flashed in Jiang Shuzhou's eyes.
"The spell 'Fireball' has been mastered."
Stepping out of the room, Jiang Shuzhou casually tossed the fireball spell onto a wooden bucket beside him.
"Bang!"
The wooden barrel was pierced, and the small fireball disappeared without a trace, leaving only a circular gap on the barrel.
"This attack power is almost as strong as a bullet."
Jiang Shuzhou sighed, "As expected, things are different once you reach a higher level. This spell is much more powerful than an apprentice's."
"By the way, now that I've learned a first-tier spell, does that mean I've successfully advanced?"
Name: Navis Lebo
Class: Mage
"Rank: Tier 1 (Talents available)"
"Magic Power: 100/100"
"Soul: 10"
"Spirit: 10"
"Willpower: 10"
Strength: 8
Endurance: 8
Agility: 9
"Spell slots: Hand of the Mage, Spark, Water Condensation, Magical Tricks, Fireball."
"Health Points: 180 (80+100)"
Spell Power: 100
All of this was within Jiang Shuzhou's expectations, except for one thing that caught his attention.
"Is it possible to acquire talents?"
Can talent be acquired later in life?
Without hesitation, Jiang Shuzhou clicked the button. He knew that having talent and not having talent were two completely different extremes.
Take him as an example. Without talent, it would take him half a day to learn a spell, even if he had already laid a good foundation.
He was talented and learned how to draw a magic circle in just one hour. Although he made a few mistakes along the way, he still managed to complete the magic circle on his fifth attempt.
This was even when he was encountering something like a magic circle for the first time.
With anticipation, Jiang Shuzhou's vision gradually darkened as he returned to the table where he had chosen his talents.
Looking around, Jiang Shuzhou found that it was pitch black all around, and there seemed to be nothing there. The only place with light was around the table.
With a sigh, Jiang Shuzhou abandoned his suicidal idea and still didn't dare to risk his life to see what was in the darkness.
Generally speaking, if he leaves the light and enters the darkness, there are only two possibilities: either nothing will happen, or there is an unknown danger lurking in the darkness.
Although the dangers lurking in the darkness might give him some clues about the game, Jiang Shuzhou still didn't intend to be reckless and investigate.
After all, it's not worth risking your life for a possible clue. Even if you have a resurrection coin and can be resurrected, it's not worth it. How can you use something so precious so casually?
The resurrection coin gave Jiang Shuzhou more than just a chance to revive; most importantly, it gave him the courage to take risks.
After all, the penalty of having one's account deleted upon death is too severe, especially since Jiang Shuzhou's journey has been extremely difficult, and he doesn't want to go through it all again.
He sat down obediently in the chair next to the table.
Jiang Shuzhou was stunned when he saw what was on the table.
This wasn't his first time choosing a talent; he knew this table very well.
But the things on it made him laugh in exasperation.
A card.
Unlike before, there was only one card on the table, so he had no choice.
"Fine, fine, if you're not going to act anymore, then why did you go through all this trouble of sending me to this place?"
Although Jiang Shuzhou found it outrageous, he still flipped over the only card, since it was a free talent, and he shouldn't refuse it.
The next second, Jiang Shuzhou smiled again upon seeing the talent details, this time not out of anger, but out of joy.
"Faster Casting: Casting speed increased by 100%"
"A very powerful talent," Jiang Shuzhou commented in his mind.
For a mage, casting speed is a very important ability, and improving casting speed is crucial for every mage.
Generally speaking, it takes a mage many years of diligent study and practice to increase their casting speed by about 30%, which is already quite good.
Moreover, mages can modify spells, and Jiang Shuzhou could easily modify spells to lengthen casting time in exchange for greater power or less mana consumption.
In short, the increased casting speed means that Jiang Shuzhou now has many more tactical options and his strength has made a qualitative leap.
I just made a leap, and now I'm making another one.
Looking at his newly acquired talent, Jiang Shuzhou completely forgot how he had slandered him before.
All he can say now is: It smells amazing!
Having successfully advanced and gained new talents, Jiang Shuzhou decided to reward himself and decided to postpone learning new spells.
It's time to end the boring and tedious spell learning; now it's time for lively and interesting alchemy learning!
Compared to the slow-progressing magic, perhaps due to his talent, Jiang Shuzhou preferred alchemy.
But there's nothing wrong with that. Alchemists are known as human money-printing machines. Once you learn alchemy, you'll never lack gold coins again.
So here's the question: where do you learn such lucrative alchemy techniques?
The answer, of course, is to learn from the internet, or more precisely, from forums.
Do you remember the book that Brother Hua posted?
The title, "Spells and Alchemy," tells you exactly what it's about.
Although the lack of a physical book made Jiang Shuzhou feel a little uncomfortable, the content of the book quickly drew his attention.
Looking at the pile of alchemy-related content in the catalog, Jiang Shuzhou felt exhilarated, as if he was born to do this.
Upon opening the book to the first page, one is greeted by the author's message.
"Alchemy is a profession born from spellcasters. An excellent alchemist must be an excellent mage, because many aspects of alchemy require spells to be performed. Therefore, I would summarize that spells are the soul and foundation of mages, while alchemy is the flesh and blood of mages, their reliance in the mortal world."
"A mage who cannot practice alchemy is not a good alchemist. This is true. Although alchemy can bring a mage great wealth, many mages still give up the study of alchemy. They focus on spells and so-called truths."
"I don't blame them, because I am different from these mediocre people. I walk the path of truth, not only the truth of magic, but also the truth of alchemy."
"To those who come after me, I am not saying this to persuade you to learn alchemy, but to persuade you to give it up. Most mages cannot master both magic and alchemy at the same time. Only true geniuses can become true alchemists."
Wow, does this guy talk so arrogantly?
As expected of a legendary alchemist, his strength is indeed formidable. After all, someone weaker who dared to say such things would probably have been beaten to death long ago.
After all, pointing fingers and calling others mediocre would have been a huge offense if the author hadn't been a legendary mage and alchemist. He would have been beaten up long ago, and wouldn't have dared to put such a thing on the page.
Turning to the next page, BYD is quite good at praising.
"Welcome to the world of alchemy, mage walking the path of truth, stranger, you are a true genius, just like me!"
