Chapter 4: Meditation
What's going on?
Obviously everything was fine last time I learned the Basic Meditation Method, why did this happen this time?
Su Hao couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at the book with a frightened expression. He wanted to quit the game for a moment, but he restrained this instinct.
After taking a few big breaths, calming his pounding heart, he sat down at his desk again and turned the second page.
It should have just been an illusion, an illusion of a mental difference in time.
"People often call us 'wizards', 'witches', etc., but we prefer to use the derogatory term 'magician' as a term for ourselves. The crown and the "demon" are just to express the search for the truth, and even the gods cannot stop it. I think, therefore I am, not the pity of the gods.
But no matter how brilliant and great a magician is, he always starts with an apprentice, so this book is mainly about the spells that an apprentice can cast, and the simple principles. β
Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief, the book had finally returned to normal, and the situation just now made him reluctant to try it again after experiencing it once.
After he relaxed, he couldn't help but complain again:
It's just an apprentice-level magic book, why are you so mysterious?
It was obviously a consciousness appraisal just now, and if you didn't pass it, you obviously wouldn't have obtained the above knowledge, so you can imagine how speechless the bad taste of the person who compiled the book was.
However, for him now, this book is just right.
He had spent a month only getting started, and had only learned the three zero-level tricks of Fire Bomb, Activation Rope, and Acid Splash.
It's not that he doesn't want to learn, but because there are too few great magicians and magic books to teach magic, and he can only accumulate them little by little.
Everything in this game pursues reality, and even learning a skill requires you to travel to another world to learn honestly, so countless players complain.
He turned to the fourth page, and there was a record of a primary meditation on itβI think, therefore I am.
It is named after the line on the second page.
Meditation, which can be used to increase the upper limit of mental power, make it easier for magicians to manipulate spells, increase the speed of mana recovery, etc., is a necessary skill for every mage.
The silver light spread out like flowing water on the book, gradually flowing into the air, forming a human figure with blurred silver features, in the familiar shape of a contemplative.
"I think, therefore I am: the elementary meditation method, the auxiliary learning needs to consume 100 points, is it learning?"
The system prompt appeared, and Su Hao naturally chose to study without hesitation.
Although it claims to be realistic, it is only a game after all, and players still have a lot of privileges.
For example, players can choose to consume points to assist in learning skills, and the learning ability will directly increase dozens of times, and it will not take too long to learn complex spell models and successfully cast this spell.
It's just that some eggs hurt so much that consuming precious points doesn't necessarily lead to learning skills, and there is a certain chance of failure......
As the points were consumed, he suddenly felt that his mind seemed to have opened the door of God, and the speed was unbelievably fast.
For example, from the original desktop computer in the 90s of the 20th century, it has suddenly become the latest supercomputer!
Lines of text, symbols flashed in front of his eyes, and quickly entangled, intertwined, winded, separated, etc., forming a complex and mysterious picture.
The picture flickered incessantly, as if countless complex arithmetic problems were being performed, constructing equations one after another. Eventually, he felt a silver seed form in the center of his eyebrows.
"Learn the Elementary Meditation Method: I Think, therefore I Am."
A strange realization came to my heart, as if I was in the midst of chaos, life, matter, etc., could not be seen, and the endless space only existed alone.
Awakening from this strange feeling, he looked at the time, and it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.
In other words, it took him hundreds of points and hours to learn the initial learning, and if he wants to continue to improve, he still needs to work hard to exercise and use, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight.
After all, although the primary meditation technique was only the lowest level meditation technique, it was enough for him to use it to become a second-level magician.
"System!"
He summoned the system panel, his gaze skimming over the attributes, and gazing at the two newly added patterns below.
One is a silver seed, which is the previously formed meditation icon.
The other was a blood-red lotus flower, exuding an endless killing aura, looking at it was like seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, making him feel terrified when he looked at it.
He couldn't help but look away, focusing on the silver seed, and lines of text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes-
"I think, therefore I am: primary meditation method, beginner, recover 0.2% of mana per second when used, increase the upper limit of mental power by 0.1 per use (limited to once a day), improve the efficiency and success rate of spell casting, and can assist in the construction of spell cores."
"Tsk, I've made a lot of money, it should be regarded as the top elementary meditation technique, and those guys listed in the forum seem to only be able to recover 0.1% of mana per second."
Su Mo nodded, for the first time he felt that the test just now was so worthwhile, but there was no danger, but it gave him a greater advantage than ordinary players.
And what he used before was only the general basic meditation technique of the rotten street, and the effect was pitiful. When used, it can only recover 0.05% mana per second, and it only increases 0.1 spiritual attribute every three days, and only 1 attribute has been added in a month.
According to the information he queried, mana is actually the magician absorbing the free energy between heaven and earth, and then transforming and storing it in himself, which is used as an introduction to cast magic.
The maximum value of mana is ten times the maximum value of mental power, that is, for every 0.1 increase in mental attributes, the maximum value of mana can be increased by 1 point.
As for the second skill, he sighed and felt a pang of embarrassment.
"Red Lotus Absorption: Mystic spell, release time 0.1 seconds, each time consumes 3 points of mana and 0.3 spiritual power, it can devour the life of the corpse and the power of the soul to feed the caster, improve the physique and spiritual attributes, there are unknown hidden dangers."
This skill is obviously a spell of the Abyss Demon, and if it is seen, it will definitely attract those madmen who claim to be the embodiment of justice.
Those guys say good words such as justice, light, kindness, XXX with you, etc., but in fact, they are not merciless at all, and they are more ruthless than berserkers!
He shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, and began to work on his newfound meditation method, no matter what happened in the future, there would never be a mistake in improving his strength.
"To meditate, first of all, you must keep your mind pure, and outline a vast emptiness in your heart, with nothing around you ......"
Su Hao sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and entered meditation, looking quiet as if he was asleep......
"Host spirit increased by 0.1!"
After some time, he woke up and glanced at the newly popped up system prompt.
"It's not bad, at least once a day in the future."
For aboriginal magicians, daily meditation is a compulsory course, and only through years of practice can they improve their spiritual power and become a strong person.
As a child of destiny, he didn't worry too much about this, and touched his smooth chin and said to himself, "Since the spiritual attribute has reached 3 points, it's time to try to be promoted to a second-class apprentice." β
Level 0 magicians, also known as apprentices, are divided into first, second, and third class apprentices from lowest to highest.
Among them, the requirements for a first-class apprentice are very low, as long as the spiritual power is higher than that of ordinary people (the spiritual attribute exceeds 1 point), and then learn to meditate to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to form their own mana, then it is considered a first-class apprentice.
The magicians at this stage are very weak and weak, because of the limitation of mental power, they can only learn 3 to 5 zero-level tricks, and they can't use magic equipment, and many times they will face the embarrassing situation of needing hand-to-hand combat.
However, when the spirit runes are condensed, the situation will be much better after being promoted to the second rank.
The spirit rune, located above the spiritual sea in the center of the eyebrows, is a strange pattern condensed by a magician using spiritual power and mana.
This kind of rune comes from the analysis and imitation of the rules of heaven and earth by ancient magicians, and the more it is condensed, the easier it will be to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth.
He frowned, trying to carve his own spiritual rune in his mind, but unfortunately failed.
Spiritual power is too ethereal, like air, and it is not so easy to gather together.
I tried it many times in a row, and time passed little by little.
It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that Su Hao's frowning brows stretched out - the first spirit rune was formed.
Like a small silver token, with intricate patterns carved on it, it floats up and down in the sky above a pale blue ocean.
With the formation of this rune, he could already clearly sense the ubiquitous energy particles around him.
He glanced at the system attribute panel, and the level smoothly became a second-class apprentice, but the spiritual attribute did not increase in the slightest, and he didn't care, this situation was expected.
"When you are promoted to a third-class apprentice, it seems that your spiritual attributes will increase a lot, so let's talk about it when the time comes. It's only one o'clock in the morning, and there's still time, so let's learn another zero-level trick. β
He stepped out of bed, sat down at his desk again, and opened the heavy magic book.
Su Hao can guarantee that he has never worked so hard even when he was in school......
