Chapter 500 Jadeka’s Beach
“This bottle of chili noodles?”
Ji Xiaoge took out the chili powder from his bag again and was stunned for a moment, looking at it blankly. Jadeka, who had an extremely enthusiastic expression, could not guess why the other party was interested in this thing.
In fact, Jadeka is not just 'interested' in this thing. The old mage was trembling uncontrollably when he saw this bottle of chili powder. To be more precise, it was [purified chili powder]. It felt like a person who had trekked in the desert for three days and three nights discovered an oasis, or like a person who had collected soap in prison for more than 20 years but still insisted on being heterosexual when he suddenly saw a beautiful girl. To put it simply, he was so excited that he forgot everything, and his whole body was not calm anymore.
As for the reason, let us first take a look at the specific properties of this bottle
[Purified Spicy Noodles]
Producers: Yege, Luwei Fizilban
Category: Consumables

Weight: 450g
Edible: Receive a large amount of fire damage and be silent for 15 to 20 minutes, with a very low probability of death
Use: Seasoning, add [explosion] and [flame poison] traits to any dish; make the fire element in a certain area The concentration is greatly increased, and the effects of corresponding skills, props, talents, etc. are increased by 25%.
Traits: Gathering Fire, Scorching Hell
[Note: After Ms. Night Song created some kind of mysterious crystal that is infinitely close to the source of flames, Luvi Fitzirban again Based on this, we further purified these things, strengthening the structure of these powders at the molecular level and enabling them to resonate with the surrounding fire elements. According to experiments, the powder was sprinkled with a little purified spicy burnt powder. The rice showed high activity and high pleasure, and spontaneously ignited into a carbon-like substance with scientific research value within three tenths of a second. For details of the content and reaction process, please see "The Good Disciple's Experiment Diary 017". 】
Obviously, this is not a simple seasoning. In fact, this thing is so simple that it is a bit curious.
To be honest, in the eyes of most players, this bottle of [Purified Spicy Powder] is of little use. Although its item description looks fierce, in fact the practicality of this thing is particularly deceptive.
First of all, it can make the eater miserable, causing fire damage, damaging the upper respiratory tract, and causing death with a low probability. However, there are extremely strict requirements for inducing these effects. , that is, eat it.
Who would put something in their mouth that would feel hot just by holding this bottle in their hands, and whose smell is so strong that just smelling it would cause obvious discomfort?
The answer is no. Leaving aside the existence of players who can see the description of items at a glance, even NPCs will not do such stupid things. Having said that, if there is such a thing that doesn’t want to live, Why bother letting him eat this? Wouldn't it be easier to just let Ya find a place to hang herself?
Secondly, some people may say that this thing can be used to poison. There are many strong-flavored foods in the food. Isn’t it just a matter of mixing them in and serving them to others?
Well, strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, there are many strange foods even in the realm of innocence. But if people study the notes carefully, they will find that this kind of food can be easily cooked in less than half a second. There is no way to poison a bowl of rice by turning it into some kind of exotic substance.
Third, this thing can make the surrounding fire elements in a highly activated state, which looks quite cool, but for most players, the value of this effect is completely equivalent to zero, because Even spellcasters who specialize in fire magic rely on their own 'magic value' to release skills, rather than how many fire elements are floating around them.
Of course, since it is the 'vast majority', it means that not everyone is like this. For example, Futaba, the enrichment of the surrounding elements will indeed have some impact on her, but this talent is infinitely close. People who prefer MAX will not need this kind of thing, so it is still useless.
Thus, we can draw a conclusion.
Not to mention NPC, anyway, for players, this bottle of [Purified Spicy Powder] is completely useless. If If it existed as a mission reward, it would definitely be the kind of stuff that you can't bear to sell and never use, and it would be hard to see the light of day until you give up the game.
But for some NPCs, this thing may not be of great use, such as Jadeka.
As we all know, Judd Kadisel is a very crappy mage. Note that it is not ordinary crappy, but very crappy. As for how crappy it is, to give a simple example, even if He is a big man with almost no talent as a spell caster. If the Bugbear with many faces devoted himself to studying magic skills for more than seventy years like him, he would at least be able to reach the level of a mid-level mage. And if he took the warrior route that is relatively suitable for him, he would be able to become a high-level profession no matter what. Or, there is even a chance of reaching a higher realm.
As for Jadka, his race is a human race with stronger talents than bugbears in all aspects except physical fitness. His bloodline is such that when he becomes an adult, he can kill at least three bugbears of the same age with one hand. From the Diesel family, his talent as a knight gave him a chance to become a great lord before he was thirty years old. His intelligence was not below average, and he was somewhat considered a smart man.
Logically speaking, even if he sacrifices the near and far, and becomes a mage instead of becoming a knight, no matter how bad these years are, it will be enough for him to become a high-level magician who cannot achieve high or low. In addition, The very rare flame affinity physique, if you specialize in one, it is possible for even the great magister to achieve it. As for the sage level that is on par with the great lord, although the hope is slim, it is by no means zero.
But the reality is that this old man has studied spells hard for so many years, and the only result is to change the success rate of low-level spells from only 1% when he became an adult to about 60%. The success rate of spell casting must be limited to spells from the fire element school. As for basic element systems such as wind, water, and earth, even for low-level spells, Jadeka's spell casting success rate will never exceed 50%.
In other words, if you don’t count the explosive damage of his staff and the fighting power of his fists when he is forced to have no choice, Judd Kadisel’s strength is at best a magic apprentice, and he is still the kind of person who has just started. Months of magic apprenticeship.
This special thing is simply incredible and can be recorded in history.
It is as horrifying as a student with sound intelligence who has studied hard for seventy years and still fails in the primary school entrance examination with an average score.
He is not stupid, nor does he not work hard, but he just cannot achieve results.
This situation has always made Jadeka very distressed, but no one can help him, because even the poorest magic apprentice cannot empathize with him.
He even had the shamelessness to consult one of the strongest people in Anka Market (with the secret help of Chris), the president of the Anka branch of the Adventurer Guild, that is, the Great Sage of Starlight. It had no effect. After all, it was precisely because of that consultation that the success rate of Jadeka's (low-level fire system) spell casting was only more than half, but there was no more gain.
The profession of mage is not suitable for you.
I don’t know how many people have advised Jadekar in this way, and he himself knows it very well.
At the age of thirty, if he gives up becoming a mage and returns to the way of a knight, he can still reach the top of the world's power pyramid.
When you are forty, you can do it too.
At the age of fifty, with his extremely strong talent, he might not have no chance.
At the age of sixty, not to mention the great lord, if you look back, at least the knight lord who is second only to the former will definitely be able to do it. However.
To this day, Jared Kadisel is still a poor mage apprentice who claims to be a junior mage.
This is ridiculous, just like God not only opened the door for you, but even helped you smash half of the wall, but you did not choose the Sunshine Avenue and tried your best to get into the corner. The mouse holes are just as ridiculous and pitiable.
Lao Jia is such a ridiculous person.
A poor man who can barely sense the elements, but wants to become a mage.
Yes, he cannot sense the elements. Although he is not 100% insensible, in Jadekar's world, the so-called elements are like a few loaches put into a big bathtub, and Rare and hard to catch.
This is his only shortcoming, and it is also his most fatal shortcoming.
As for how short, it is as fatal as the lame leg of a man who wholeheartedly wants to be a football player.
Mental strength, creativity, magic, hard work, and talent, these five points are the foundation of being a mage. There is also an additional question about physical fitness. As long as you have two or three of the above, you can become a good mage. .
How does Jadeka perform on this?
Let's put it this way, if mental strength, creativity, hard work, magic, talent, and physical fitness are all 100 points, Jadekar's average score can reach more than 85.
What is the concept of eighty-five? To put it simply, as long as you can successfully live to the age of sixty, you can basically become a single-line sage.
Of course, his 100-point physique and hard work may indeed be a bit unconventional, but this still cannot hide that this old man is indeed a good prospect.
So, if that's the case, what if it's slightly worse in elemental perception? After all, this is not included in the threshold.
Wrong, very wrong.
Elemental perception is not included in the basic conditions, not because it is unimportant, but because it is the foundation of the foundation.
To give a simple example, a football coach went to a sports primary school to give a lecture, and then taught everyone what qualities are needed to be selected for the team, which may include endurance, mentality, speed, explosive power, shooting accuracy, The realism of diving, attack power, marksmanship, etc., but "being able to walk on two legs" will never be mentioned as a threshold.
The concept of 'elemental perception' is similar to 'being able to walk on two legs'. It has nothing to do with whether you are a mage. In the world of high magic in the Innocence Realm, as long as you are a normal person, If you can use magic power, you must be able to sense the existence of elements. This is the same reason that most people have five senses such as smell, hearing, and taste.
But
Jadeka can't do it. Although I don't know why he can't do it, he just can't do it.
After decades of continuous meditation, he has never stopped for a day. His magic power accumulation has been as deep as it can be. However, these magic powers are difficult to convert into 'spells'.
Take the simplest [Fireball] as an example. In the player's concept, the only requirement for this thing is that you have 50 magic points, and it does not require your elemental perception ability. If there is a certain If a player has some innate problem, the system will definitely give him a passive talent similar to 'the success rate of casting any spell is reduced by 50%, and the magic power consumption is increased by 300%'. In addition, 50 magic points is a fireball. Everything you need for the technique.
For NPCs and some game experts (such as Futaba), there will be an additional link.
First, the caster needs to use 50 magic points to arrange a fireball magic circle that is only visible to himself in most cases, and then guide about 30 units of fire elements into this magic circle. After filling, the magic circle is constructed Finished, specify the direction, and the fireball flies out.
Because the requirement of thirty fire elements is too low, it is like asking you to grab a handful of sand on the beach, so the casting time of this spell is zero, which is what we conventionally call ' Instant spell'.
There are two situations in chanting spells. One is that the amount of elements that need to be guided is too large, just like asking you to grab sand with your bare hands to fill a bucket. The time of this process is the 'chanting process' , the second one requires not only a large amount of elements, but also very troublesome to construct the array, and the process is the same.
For most players, the entire process will be streamlined into 'mana consumption' and 'chanting time'.
For most NPCs, although there is one more link, it will not be much trouble
But for Jadekar, it is a different concept.
A fireball spell, which consumes 50 points of mana, is just a drop in the ocean to him. He can do it casually. Building a magic circle is also something he is familiar with. It is very simple. However, when it comes to the magic circle The step of filling elements in
Using the example just now (it feels like there are so many examples in this chapter), if someone grabs a handful of sand from the beach, Jadeka will be in a germophobe’s home. Collect a handful of sand on the living room floor.
This is completely two levels of difficulty, so even if he casts a hundred spells at the beginning, he may not be able to succeed even once.
His elemental perception ability is about 3% of that of normal people, and less than 0.1% of that of some geniuses.
Therefore, no matter what the circumstances, from a data point of view, Jared Kadisel's spell casting success rate is 3% of that of ordinary people. If others succeed in casting a spell a hundred times, he will succeed three times in a hundred casts. kind.
However, under this situation, the old man practiced his low-level fire spells to a 60% success rate.
So what if one day, he can perceive the same amount of elements as normal people?
He once had such a dream, and he has been having such a dream since the first time he cast the spell.
However, today, a bottle of red chili noodles appeared in front of Jadeka.
Let the old mage see the ‘beach’ for the first time in his life.
