Chapter 17 Improvement
“This piece of magic stone is worth it.”
Ronan sighed.
After selling the runes, the shop assistant girl in the workshop enthusiastically sold him the main magic tools sold in the workshop for most of the day.
If it weren't for the fact that Ronan didn't have enough magic stones in his pocket, he might have bought one of the zero-level low-level magic tools.
"I can't afford the magic tool, but the rune engraving knife must be replaced with a new one. The original one has been worn out and is almost affecting the success rate of engraving."
Ronan suddenly remembered this and subconsciously turned around to go back to the workshop, but in the next second he lightly patted his forehead.
"stupid!"
"It's definitely cheaper to buy things from street stalls! Go to the wizard market!"
Because things went smoothly, Ronan still had plenty of time for this trip.
With eighteen low-level magic stones in his waist, Ronan walked boldly in the wizard market full of stalls.
Ronan didn't walk out of town until the sun was setting.
He spent two low-level magic stones and bought a good-quality rune carving knife from a stall selling groceries.
Although it is second-hand, the material used is a special metal called tungsten silver. Both in terms of feel and durability, it is much better than Ronan's original handle.
Originally, he planned to find a house to live in a town living area after he got rich, but he was led to several places by a housing agency. After learning about it, Ronan was not satisfied.
Urban life has the benefits of urban life, safety and convenience.
But there are many disadvantages, such as being noisy and crowded. If you want to practice alone quietly for a while, you have to spend money to go to a special spell training room or go to the wild.
Now Ronan is no longer as insecure as he was when he first traveled through time. After living in the tree house for more than two months, he has gradually become accustomed to life in the forest.
After much thought, Ronan finally decided to shelve his plan to move into the town.
"It's better to save more money and go directly to college when the time comes."
On the way home, Ronan stood on a high slope near the forest, looking at Hodderdam College shrouded in white mist in the distance, and silently made a decision in his heart.
Although everything seems to be slowly getting on track for him now, in fact the road ahead is still difficult.
If he wants to continue on the path of being a wizard steadily, he must eventually return to the academy, where there will be a truly complete and systematic inheritance.
This is almost impossible to obtain as a wandering wizard.
"Holddam."
Ronan took a deep look at the center shrouded in white mist, his lips moved slightly, then turned around and ran towards the forest ahead with the money bag in his arms.
The days passed in peace.
Ronan's daily life is still hard work.
After having the character panel, he seemed to be a completely different person compared to his previous life. Now he is almost happy with any activity that can increase his proficiency.
Watching the values on the character panel increase bit by bit, no matter how boring the practice is, it will not feel boring.
"Tick tock—tick tock—"
Sweat dripped down his chin and fell onto the wooden floor, leaving an obvious dark stain.
In the stuffy hut, Ronan was shirtless, wearing only a pair of white shorts. He was half lying on the ground in an awkward and almost weird posture.
His face was red and tight, and his teeth were biting his lower lip. There were obvious veins on his forehead, and water mist was steaming from the top of his head, as if he was enduring great pain.
If there were outsiders present at this time and they looked closely at Ronan, they would find that his already twisted body was still approaching an even more outrageous posture at an extremely slow speed.
I don’t know how long it took.
There was a sudden "snap" sound in the hut, like something suddenly breaking.
Followed by a series of "crackling" explosions.
Ronan, who had remained still a second ago, was now jumping on the floor as if having a cramp. The continuous crackling sound of muscles and bones came from him. After "twitching and bouncing", I was sweating profusely.
The pores on Ronan's body were like floods, and large drops of sweat seeped out of his body at an extremely fast speed, forming a "stream" on the surface of his body, gurgling into the cracks in the floor under his feet.< br/>A moment later, Ronan, who was almost dehydrated, slumped on the ground weakly, but couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Grandma, you have successfully mastered this torturous self-abuse technique."
"Pain can stimulate the growth of mental power, so in turn, the growth of mental power will naturally increase my ability to tolerate pain. This method really works!"
"My special mother is really a genius!"
Ronan's face was filled with pride as he brought up his current character panel.
[Name: Ronan Damien]
【Age: 16】
[Talent: No Attribute Affinity]
[Strength: Level 3 Wizard Apprentice (45%)]
[Skill: Basic Meditation (Proficient 221/400)
Energy Missile (Expert 288/800)
Charged Weapons (Proficiency 67/200)
Rune engraving - clean (77/200 for proficiency), shiny (21/100 for beginners)
Ascetic training (entry 1/100)]
Compared with more than a month ago, Ronan's attributes have undergone tremendous changes at this time.
The most exaggerated one is the level of strength. He was directly promoted from the second-level apprentice to the third-level apprentice, and the progress was even close to half.
The reason is because
Luonan is taking drugs!
After drinking a bottle of concentration potion worth twenty low-level magic stones, his spiritual power increased by more than one level.
The reason for taking drugs is also very simple, rune engraving!
After the [Cleaning] rune reached the proficiency level, Ronan was not satisfied with the meager profits from the zero-level low-level general runes, and began to aspire to the huge profits from the intermediate or even high-level runes.
As for the general runes above the zero-level intermediate level, the difficulty of imprinting is on the one hand, and the most important thing is the mental level requirements of the rune master.
For example, zero-level intermediate runes must require spiritual cultivation at the level of an intermediate wizard apprentice.
There are nine levels of apprenticeship, and levels one to three are considered junior.
Levels four to six are considered intermediate, and advanced corresponds to levels seven to nine. Apprentices at level nine and above are formal wizards.
Intermediate wizard apprentices represent at least the level of a fourth-level apprentice.
Ronan had calculated that according to his qualifications, even with the bonus of high proficiency in meditation, it would take at least one to two years to reach the fourth level apprentice.
He couldn't wait.
So I chose to take drugs.
"Besides, it's all necessary investment in the early stage. The strength gained from drinking the potion is not my own. No loss at all!"
This has proven to be the case, and Ronan is already seeing huge returns at this stage.
Although his strength has not yet reached level four, his level three mental power has made him more comfortable when engraving [Cleaning] runes. Coupled with his improved proficiency, the success rate of engraving [Cleaning] runes is now close to one-half.
Ronan was also asked to unlock a new rune - [Shining].
Both are zero-level low-level runes. [Shining] is slightly more difficult to engrave than [Clean], and the price is also higher. The purchase price of Welling Workshop reaches two magic stones.
But in fact, Ronan felt that the [Shining] rune was far less useful than the [Cleaning] rune.
The [Shining] rune is just to add appearance to the magic tool, it is purely to enchant a light effect.
