Chapter 170 New Year
After this wave of harvest, Gaode's savings finally exceeded three digits again, reaching a gratifying figure of 107 gold and 18 silver.
So much so that when he saw that the medicine field was taken back, he was still a little reluctant to part with it.
"The course "Spiritual Land Utilization and Reclamation" must also be taken as an elective sometime." Gothe said secretly.
"Spiritual Land Utilization and Reclamation" is also one of the branch courses under Potions. The content taught is how to cultivate natural spiritual lands and artificially create spiritual lands.
The conditions for the growth of magic plants are very harsh, especially the requirements for magic power.
Planting magic plants on ordinary land will not allow them to sprout and grow.
The so-called spiritual land is a land rich in magic power that can support the growth of magic plants.
And owning a piece of spiritual land is equivalent to owning a cornucopia.
Whether you cultivate magic plants yourself or rent them out to magicians, you can continue to earn a steady income.
Such a "money-making" course is simply a required course for Gaode.
It’s just that this course is an advanced course. If you want to take it as an elective, you need more than 30 credits, which is a general third-year student. Gaode has not yet met the requirements.
When his door was knocked open by Jelika at night and he received a small New Year's gift from her, Gao Decai suddenly realized that today was actually the last day of the year.
Winter Solstice month, 30th.
Serris College also held a New Year celebration tonight at the College Square.
After all, except for the local aristocratic students in St. Sean City who will go home to celebrate the New Year, most students stay in the academy even on this day.
But Gothe is not interested in this. Rather than wasting time on celebrations, he would rather use this time to learn more.
In a world where knowledge is expensive and monopolized, Gaode always has a looming sense of crisis.
This sense of crisis prompted him to want to learn more when he could learn knowledge.
This kind of mentality is similar to people who have experienced famine, who usually subconsciously develop the habit of collecting food.
The twelve o'clock magic bell rang throughout the college as the representatives of the college bid farewell to the old and ushered in the new.
The first year that Gaode came to this world passed like this.
Nolan calendar year 9655 passed away quietly.
Listening to the bells echoing in his ears, Gothe was filled with emotions.
He came to this world on the second day of the Awakening Month of this year. So many things happened in the past eleven months.
In comparison, the twenty-one years of experience in my previous life were like a blank sheet of paper.
Gothe cannot predict what will happen in the newly arrived Nolan calendar year 9656.
He only knows that he needs to grasp the moment, so that no matter what happens, he will be able to deal with it calmly.
For this year, Gaode’s goal is to strive to push the progress of the practice of guidance to perfection.
As for the progress of meditation practice, we can only let it happen.
However, based on the current progress of practice, it is estimated that the practice of meditation can be completed by next year no matter how hard it is.
By then he will be 15 years old and can try to be promoted to a first-level mage.
If he succeeds, he will be one year behind Youlan. However, he reached this mage level without the resources of the academy.
When he thought of this, Gothe had to sigh, this guy's talent is really terrible.
In the three months after the New Year, Gaode's life never encountered any other "incidents".
He spent all his thoughts and energy on spiritual practice and course study.
During this period, AutoNavi has welcomed the completion of several branch courses.
"Business Group Management and Trade Practice" is also a theory-based course, specially developed for students who are interested in joining a chamber of commerce after graduation.
Amap mainly values the knowledge points related to trade practice in this course.
In his opinion, "making money" is also a basic and necessary ability for a mage.
In the final assessment, AutoNavi was deducted a symbolic 2 points for the final open-ended trade practice question, and finally achieved a high score of 98.
This course brings 1 credit to AMAP.
"Research on Leyline Creatures" is for battle mages. The existence of "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow" destined Gaode to frequently deal with earth-line creatures.
What's more, in this world, as long as you are a mage, who will not come into contact with earth-line creatures?
In Gaode's opinion, this course should also be included in the list of required courses.
But the college did not do this, and the course attendance rate was not high.
At the end of the course, Gao De realized that the test was too difficult:
In addition to the basic questions, the final big assessment question was to give several sketches of earth-line creatures, requiring students to follow the Based on the course knowledge learned in the course, specific information about the creatures in this leyline can be deduced.
The more information you infer, the more accurate it will be, and the higher your score will be.
This involves a bit of luck, and the question is too "open" and often leaves students unable to start.
Even Gaode achieved a score of 85 in the final assessment of this course.
The credit for this course is 2 points.
"Magic Medicine", "Magic Pet Training" and "Magic Engineering" are also 1-point small courses. The final assessment of these three courses all ends with full marks.
The final assessment of "Magic Ink Extraction and Production" is to make a magic ink on the spot, and the score will be based on the quality of the final magic ink produced.
The quality of the magic ink prepared by students is not only related to the technique, but also has a very close relationship with the quality of the raw materials.
In terms of techniques, Gaode, who has been engaged in potion preparation and has a solid theory, is definitely second to none among all students.
But he didn't want to spend a lot of money to buy good materials to pile up the quality of the final magic ink just for a result. He simply bought some basic materials and mixed some magic ink.
So in the end he only scored 80 points for this course, which was the lowest score among all AutoNavi courses so far.
"Magic Ink Extraction and Production" is also 1 credit.
After this, Gaode's credits reached 24 points.
The remaining courses that have not yet been completed include the 2-credit "History of Race", the 3-credit "Pharmacological Research" and four courses that are currently only 1 credit and are in the first stage: "Mage Basics" ", "Spell Application and Combat", "Basic Cultural Courses", "Rune Literature".
After completing all the courses, the first-year credits of Gaode will reach 33 points.
As for Youlan, the basic credits are 22 points, and the seven elective courses total 9 credits.
After all the classes were completed, his credits were only 31 points, still 2 points short of Gaode.
Of course, this is only half a year after the end of the first school year.
In the next six months, both Gaode and Youlan can continue to take other courses to add to their credits.
It depends on who can roll whom.
Gaode is still very confident about this.
First, with the blessing of [Divine Guidance +], he cannot lose to Youlan in this aspect of learning.
Secondly, he heard that most of Yolan's energy during this period has been spent on learning spells.
This is an instruction given to him by his mentor, the Minister of Magic.
The mage level can use talent to unreasonably smooth the gap in resources.
But the mastery of spells requires a lot of resources.
This has led to Yolan owing a lot of things in terms of magic, and now he needs to work hard to fill the gap and repay the debt.
In comparison, Gaode, whose number of spells he mastered was even more terrifying than his learning ability, was on the right track from the beginning.
In these three months of undistracted study, Gaode didn't even pay much attention to his own strength and how he had improved in such a "boring" life.
His guidance method naturally achieved another breakthrough on the 14th of the Awakening Month.
His total mana has reached 13 levels of magic.
After nearly three months of self-study, he finally understood all the thirty-six classic compound rune pictures and the half-person-high pile of information that He Xi had given Gaode.
After that, Gaode entered the "problem solving" stage.
Every day he would receive a requirement from He Xi, and then independently design a composite rune based on the requirement, and submit it to He Xi for approval the next day.
