Red Mill Pan Street.

In the No. 66 independent apartment, Zhou Ming settled the two sisters and brothers.

There are seven rooms in the apartment, one on the first floor, three on the second floor, and three on the third floor, Zhou Ming lives on the third floor, with one bedroom, one laboratory, and a utility room.

The three rooms on the second floor were unoccupied, and Zhou Ming asked Henry to choose one as his living room.

Lina chose the bunk room for servants next to the kitchen on the first floor, except for a large bed that could sleep three or four people, there was nothing else, and it was dark and damp, and the conditions were very average.

Zhou Ming asked Lina to go to the second floor to choose a room, there were two empty rooms on the second floor, she could pick one.

But Lina refused, she was just a servant, and the servant was not qualified to live in the upstairs room, not to mention that she had to cook, and it was more convenient to live on the first floor.

Seeing her so insistent, Zhou Ming could only be up to her.

Of course, for Lina, although the servant's room was damp and dark, it was at least ten times better than the previous house in the slums.

Lying in the warm quilt at night, Lina even experienced the feeling of being at home, and tears couldn't help but flow.

But she immediately reminded herself: "Lina, you have met the best noble person in the world, and you must not forget your duty." ”

Henry, on the other side, also suffered from insomnia because the bed was too soft and uncomfortable, and felt that he was living in a dream, which was unreal...... Years of suffering made him dare not have extravagant hopes.

But when he thought that he had become a magician's assistant and might become a noble magician in the future, his heart was full of thoughts of getting ahead.

……

After two more people in the family, Zhou Ming immediately experienced all kinds of benefits.

As an assistant, Henry did all the work of serving tea and water, taking information, and recording experimental data, which saved Zhou Ming a lot of time.

Even Henry became an "experimental subject", the bottle of [healing potion] worth 1,000 gold coins, after Zhou Ming gave it to him, a miraculous scene appeared: in just a few minutes, all the external and internal injuries on Henry's body were clean...... The effect is visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Ming was surprised, this was too exaggerated.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Henry, who was completely ill, was grateful, although he didn't know the price of the [healing potion], but before the change, this potion was something that a poor class like him could never touch, and he didn't dare to be delusional at all, and he had never even heard of the name.

Today, the teacher gave it to him casually.

Zhou Ming didn't say anything, he just wanted to do an experiment.

In addition, in normal times, when there is nothing to do, Zhou Ming is also willing to take a little time to teach Henry something.

Henry is hungry, very serious, very quick to master, and even inferences.

Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction.

……

"Lina, I'm very satisfied with the sandwich you made today, it's much better than yesterday. ”

"Lina, you've learned eighty percent of my stir-fry skills. ”

"Lina, this chicken burger you made can be launched as a new product in the magic cake shop, I'll take you to the magic cake shop tomorrow. ”

In less than a week, Lina's performance refreshed Zhou Ming's perception of her again and again.

Two words to describe her are: more truthful.

Very realistic.

If Zhou Ming pointed out that she was not doing well there, or needed to improve, she would make improvements that day, and even ask herself to do better.

Even if Zhou Ming said "good", she would ask him to find out some shortcomings, and she would improve them immediately.

Especially in terms of cooking skills, Lina really can't accept the fact that Zhou Ming's cooking skills are far stronger than hers, the master's cooking skills are higher than those of servants, what is the value of her existence as a servant?

She can't accept that she is worthless, she must reflect her own value.

Zhou Ming had to spend a little time and instruct Lina in cooking.

In just a few days, Lina's cooking skills have improved rapidly, and slowly Zhou Ming can't find any faults.

In addition, due to spending a lot of time in the kitchen every day to study cooking skills, in order not to waste food, most of the experimental dishes entered Lina's stomach, which made Lina, who was originally thin wood, rise up like inflation in a few days, and after growing seven or eight catties of meat, the natural beauty that could not be concealed was gradually revealed.

Only then did Zhou Ming understand why the Blood Axe Gang had taken her away.

Then about the life experience of the two sisters and brothers, Zhou Ming also learned a little about it, and found that their biological mother was actually the "Rose of the Royal Capital" Bellian Mona - a woman with a beautiful reputation in the royal capital.

But I didn't expect that this woman climbed to power and nobles, her heart was like a snake and scorpion, in order to climb up, she would do whatever it took to climb up, and even her own children could be abandoned, and she didn't care about it at all.

"Such a woman has become a slave to money and desire, and is no longer worthy to be called a 'human'. ”

However, Zhou Ming doesn't think it's rare, he has seen too many women like Belin Mona, he has dealt with a lot, and he has killed a lot - his philosophy is: he can use others, and he can also use each other, but there is anyone who just wants to use him simply, or wants to use him as a stepping stone, but sorry, he will let the other party die.

Zhou Ming also asked Lina and Henry what they would do if they had the opportunity to meet their mother?

"I ...... I might have killed her, she killed my father!" said Henry, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.

"Don't think like that, Henry, she gave us life after all. ”

Lina pulled her brother and said, "If it were me, I would throw a piece of shit at her at most, and I would never see her again...... She's not our mom. ”

Zhou Ming nodded, Lina's thoughts were more mature, and Henry was still too young.

Of course, for women like Belin Mona, his attitude is to stay away.

If contact really arises because of some "choice of fate", he hopes that this woman, it is better not to get in his way, otherwise......

……

Next.

Zhou Ming's life has gradually become like three points and one line.

In the morning, he went to work in the magic cake shop, made magic cakes, trained the store staff, and successively launched new products such as "hamburger", "block cake", "pastry", etc., without making a cake, the store expanded, and his fame in the royal capital also grew.

It's just that he rarely shows up, his name is unknown, and only one nickname is widely spread - Magic Cake Maker.

In the afternoon, I returned to the apartment, did all kinds of magic experiments, studied the physical properties, chemical properties and chemical properties of magic particles, discovered many magical properties of magic particles, and deduced many mathematical formulas.

Some people may think that this is useless, but for Zhou Ming, the effect is huge!

Because of the formula of the vibration law of magic particles, Zhou Ming can achieve the minimum consumption and the maximum increase in mana at the optimal soul frequency.

Meditation requires "spirit", and the time that a magician can meditate on a daily basis is limited, and how to achieve the maximum harvest in this limited time requires the best meditation effect according to these formulas...... Zhou Ming calls this "meditation to lift the curve".

According to this curve, Zhou Ming's recent meditation, the daily growth of mana is in the early 1%.

In addition, Zhou Ming also did a lot of experiments on the magic principle of the composition of magic particles.

However, due to the size of the soul frequency, what he has studied more thoroughly at present is only wind magic.

"Wind magic is characterized by a 'spiral', where at a certain soul frequency, the magic particles will enter a high-speed rotation state and release a force field, causing air molecules to flow together. ”

"The maximum speed of this spiral is 110,000 meters per second, and it can create a hurricane with great destructive power, and can even blow people and buildings away, making it impossible to stop them at all. ”

"In addition, wind magic also has the characteristics of 'long-lasting', as long as the 'spiral force field' is formed, it will take at least 10 minutes to gradually dissipate, and the consumption of the enemy's physical strength is very strong. ”

"However, the disadvantage of wind magic is that its attack power is weak, and it has no armor-piercing effect, after all, it only drives air, which is lighter in density and less in weight, and lacks lethality. ”

"But it's not impossible to improve, if you reduce the diameter of the bottom surface of the wind cone, make the cone head sharp, and then increase the attack speed, the wind can also have greater lethality. ”

Of course, all this depends on the mage's ability to refine operations.

Zhou Ming can make the cone head of the first-level wind magic "wind pillar" smaller, the diameter of the column smaller, and then increase the spiral speed and forward speed, so that the "wind pillar" that was originally only 100 kilograms of thrust ten meters away has become a fatal "wind cone".

This improved operation makes the first-level wind magic "Wind Pillar" have at least the lethality of level 3 wind magic.

But the cost of bringing is also huge, releasing such an improved version of the "Wind Pillar" magic, Zhou Ming's magic cost is three times that of the normal "Wind Pillar" magic.

With the total mana in his body, a similar modified version of the "Wind Pillar", he could only release 6.

After calculating, the system also said: "The magic particles in this plane seem to have added a set of 'programming rules', as long as the operation frequency is reached, it will release the 'standard version' magic specified in this plane, and the standard version of the magic can release a powerful magic with the minimum consumption and the fastest speed." ”

"The host's improved version of magic, although more powerful, consumes more mana, is more complex to operate, requires a lot of energy, and only a few people can master it...... This is detrimental to the widespread use of magic, and the standard version of magic, although it has some flaws, is the fastest and most cost-effective option for magicians. ”

"What does the system mean is mediocrity, does it mean popularity?" Zhou Ming said.

"Yes, if the system were to create such a plane, it would also be able to program a lot of mediocre magic, which would be beneficial for the magician to learn...... The higher the law, the more difficult it is to master, and if the magic is more complicated, the number of mages in this plane will probably be even smaller. ”

Zhou Ming nodded, this is indeed the truth.

Of course, the system does not object to Zhou Ming's improvement of the "standard version" of magic, after all, Zhou Ming has the ability to improve the attack power of first-level magic to third-level magic, and this ability has a key role in improving his self-protection strength, and even "skipping the level to kill monsters" in the future.

In the evening, it was time for Zhou Ming to meditate.

After the meditation was over, Zhou Ming looked at his various abilities in the system panel:

Rank: Apprentice Magician

Mana: 18.767 (20 next level)

Sensing range: 45cm (next level 50)

Soul Frequency: 1.07 (1.10 next)

Energy: 0 (Lack of mental power, unable to continue meditating)

Looking at these values, Zhou Ming shook his head.

"It will take at least two months before you can be promoted to a junior magician. ”

"This speed is too slow, the school is open, I am still a trainee magician, and I may be trampled and humiliated by Martin!"

"If you want to turn over, you must become a junior magician before the start of the new semester!"

How can I shorten the promotion time?

Calming elixir!

Zhou Ming found that this elixir could not only increase concentration, but also double the energy value, from 100 to 200.

In other words, every time he took a bottle of [Tranquilizing Elixir], he could achieve the effect of doubling his cultivation speed, and this state could last for 3 days.

If he had enough [Tranquilizer], maybe within a month, he would be able to be promoted to a junior magician.

But the price of this thing ......

Of course, Zhou Ming couldn't afford it, it was just an expense of 10,000 gold coins a month, and his wallet could bear it.

He just suddenly felt that the profession of pharmacist seemed to be very promising.
