"Whew! it's finally done!" An Chen exclaimed happily after successfully making a bitter water, "Now let's taste it and see how bitter it is." ”

With that, An Chen picked up the bitter water and took a sip.

"Poof", as soon as he took a sip, An Chen spit it out, "I'll take it, it's too bitter, isn't it?

An Chen shook his head, then gritted his teeth and said, "I hope this water is really useful." Then, take it all in one gulp.

As soon as he finished drinking the bitter water, An Chen hurriedly picked up the boiled water that had been prepared next to him and poured it in a big gulp.

"It's so bitter, it's too bitter, oh my God. ”

"No, I'm going to die of bitterness by myself, and I'll have to find an antidote, very sweet water, just enough to neutralize the bitterness after drinking. ”

An Chen's eyes lit up, and he randomly picked up a book from the table, which was a book of herbs, which recorded how to make various prescriptions.

"Let me follow the example above and make super invincible sweet water!...... Sweet pills are good!Herbs are good!Well, and this is good! Mix them up and try them. ”

An Chen quickly found these medicinal herbs, grinded, mashed, and stirred them one by one according to the steps, and finally succeeded in making sweet water.

"Let me taste it", An Chen took a sip, "Wow! It's so sweet! That's the taste! No problem! Every time you drink bitter water in the future, and then drink sweet water immediately, you can neutralize it!"

However, the book also says to bathe in this water...... Forget it, take a bath, just take a bath, anyway, I can't drink it, I can still bear it, just do it!"

So, in the days that followed, An Chen hardly left home, spending a lot of time making bitter and sweet water, and strictly following the book, drinking it three times a day and bathing for an hour every day. When taking a bath, An Chen also emptied his mind and experienced the feeling of bitter water flowing over his skin.

It's easy to stick to it for a day or two, but it takes a long time to stick to it for a year or two. Although An Chen is playful and loves to see beautiful women, his rare advantage is that he is willing to persist and never give up. In this way, An Chen persevered for two years as stated in the book. Before he knew it, An Chen was already twelve years old.

Wang Shi has been very bored in the past two years, because An Chen almost doesn't go out anymore, he can't bully An Chen, so he has to turn to bully other children, but he always feels that bullying other children is not fun to bully An Chen, so he feels that everything is to blame for An Chen's not going out, and he has to resent An Chen very much.

In the courtyard of An's house, An Chen was eating with his parents.

"Chen'er, tomorrow is the talent ceremony. This is for you twelve-year-olds to test your talent for becoming a magician, and you're ready. An Chen's father, An Zhen, said to An Chen.

"Hmm. An Chen nodded.

"Don't be nervous, you're the son of my family, and it's almost no problem to become a magician. And this talent canon just depends on how much your initial talent was. If it's high, it's a good thing, but if it's low, it's okay, and you can become a magician through hard work!"

"Dad, how exactly does this ceremony test people's talents?" An Chen wondered.

"That's right, it's divided into two tests, one is to test what kind of magical attribute you have to practice, and what the specific talent value is. We know that there are nine magical attributes in the world, which are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness. Among them, there is no distinction between the high and low attributes, except that the mages of the light and dark attributes are a little rarer than the first seven. Almost all magicians have only one type of magic attribute, and later specialize in that attribute. For example, if a mage who practices metal, we also call it a gold mage. Only a small number of people are born with dual-attribute talents and can practice dual-attribute magic, and such people are rare. However, having dual stats can be both a good and a disadvantage. The advantage is that dual-attribute magicians have a great advantage in the same level, and the disadvantage is that dual-attribute magicians are also twice as difficult to cultivate, because the two attributes can only break through if they have more comprehension. ”

An Chen nodded, he had heard some of these things before, but he didn't know all of them, and now it was the first time he had heard them so carefully.

"That's a stretch, let's go on. Each person's talent value is also different, and this talent value is divided into nine levels in total. The first to third class is the secondary, which generally means that the possibility of becoming a magician is almost zero, and you may only be a mortal in your life. Grades 4 to 6 are medium, which means that they are very likely to become a magician, grades 7 to 8 are advanced, which means that they can almost certainly become a magician, and grade 9 is super, which represents the best talent in the world, and if there is no accident, it is a hundred percent white to become a magician. In our White Town, most people are either average or the lowest, and the appearance of high-level talents may be one or two per year, or even none, and as for the ninth rank, it has not appeared for many years. ”

An Chen thought for a moment, and then asked, "What kind of talent are my sisters?"

An Zhen smiled, "Look at you, you either ran out to play all day before, or you stayed at home all the time and didn't go out, and you didn't care about your sister at all." Your eldest sister An Xiao is a sixth-class talent, and your second sister is even more powerful, she was the only eighth-class talent in our Baizhen back then. Thinking of this, An Zhen's face showed a smug smile.

"And there's another test or something?"

"Another item is to test people's innate mental power, but this one is relatively not that important, because for a magician, magic is the most important, so the level of innate spiritual power does not have much reference value for whether you can become a magician. ”

An Chen nodded, but he had his own thoughts in his heart, "It seems that the author of that book is right, my father thinks that mental power is not important, which means that most people must think so too, if it is really as the author said, maybe the vast majority of people's understanding of spiritual power is wrong......"

"By the way, where have the sisters gone?" An Chen suddenly asked.

Angela glanced at An Chen, "It's been so long since you asked, do you care about your sister? Your sisters have all gone to study at the Academy of Magic, and they haven't come back yet." ”

"School of Magic?

"Remember when I told you that Los Angeles has a central area that doesn't belong to any one town? There are nine magic academies in this central area, and your two older sisters study in one of them. ”

"So why don't they just go to school when they're twelve?

"You don't understand this, do you? If you want to study at the Academy of Magic, you must reach the level of a first-class magician. ”

"Rank 1 mage, what is this?"

"The ranks of magicians are divided into apprentice-level magicians, first-level magicians, second-level magicians, and so on. Your Tomorrow's Ceremony is both a test of your talents and a kick-start for you. When people have talents, they need to learn and comprehend on their own, first become apprentice magicians, and then break through and become first-class magicians before they can be qualified to enter the magic academy. ”

An Chen touched his head and sighed, "It's all so complicated. ”

An Zhen and Angela looked at each other and smiled, and smiled at An Chen, "You'll understand tomorrow." ”
