Chapter 2: Activation of the Spell
"Crunchβ"
Zhou Yao opened the old door of his house and found a slender figure swaying back and forth in the store.
"Brother Yao, where have you been?"
Before Zhou Yao could speak, the other party walked in front of him, and the owner of the silver bell-like voice was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
She wore a dress made of coarse cloth, but the simple style could not hide her fresh and refined temperament, and her black hair was scattered over her shoulders, adding a mysterious beauty, and the charm of black and straight was nothing more than that.
Her little face full of smiles suddenly puffed up two round buns after seeing Zhou Yao who came back.
"Brother Yao, you're lazy again, and you don't stay in the store."
"Oh, it's Ru Xue."
The girl in front of her is named Lei Ruxue, the daughter of the owner of the ramen shop next door, and a playmate who grew up with Zhou Yao since childhood, which is the so-called childhood sweetheart.
"Why are you always lazy, what if a guest comes."
Lei Ruxue walked briskly to the bed, stretched out her finger to point at the tip of Zhou Yao's nose, and complained dissatisfiedly.
"No one is coming, this kind of shop."
Zhou Yao blurted out without thinking about it, his words made Lei Ruxue even more dissatisfied, and the most direct manifestation was that the small buns hanging on both sides became big buns.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
After looking at each other wordlessly for a while, Zhou Yao turned his gaze away uncomfortably.
"Just because you're not serious, there will be fewer and fewer customers in the store."
Lei Ruxue raised his face and began to teach Zhou Yao a lesson, and the serious expression he deliberately pretended to make people feel cute.
In order to escape the blame of his childhood sweetheart, Zhou Yao decisively changed the topic.
"Is there something going on here at this time?"
"Ah, I almost forgot, the meal is ready to call you to eat."
Lei Ruxue hurriedly clapped her hands and remembered what she was doing here.
"Oh, I happen to be hungry, Ru Xue, you came too timely, you deserve to be my childhood sweetheart."
Zhou Yao screamed and rubbed his shriveled belly, and his exaggerated funny appearance made Lei Ruxue's little face immediately smile.
"I always feel that Brother Yao, you have changed."
Lei Ruxue, who was smiling, stared at Zhou Yao's face, and suddenly said such a sentence for no reason, which immediately startled Zhou Yao.
"Hey! yes, yes?! β
Zhou Yao's body shook, subconsciously turned his face away, and his slightly panicked gaze began to wander around.
Although he didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't have to feel empty-hearted, he was Zhou Yao, Zhou Yao was him, but he was still a little caught off guard when he was asked such a sentence by the other party.
"Well, it's like a different person these days, and I've become cheerful."
Lei Ruxue nodded affirmatively, her big watery eyes blinking.
Zhou Yao was a little uncomfortable staring at him, and secretly thought about his mistake.
After all, they are playmates who have lived together for more than ten years, and Zhou Yao has worked hard to pay attention to her words and deeds, but she still sees the difference.
can only find a reason to pass it perfunctorily, and he can't say anything about killing him through something.
With a twist of his mind, Zhou Yao thought of a countermeasure.
"Haha, maybe it's because the magic circuit has been opened, and the wish of many years has been fulfilled, so I have communicated, or have I been enlightened?"
Although it was an excuse that came to mind at the moment, Zhou Yao did not lie.
The original Zhou Yao was very persistent in the magic circuit, and he didn't want to open the magic circuit all the time, and he soared into the sky. It's no wonder that his crazy performance when his dream came true led to the end cheapening himself as a traverser.
"Hmm...... Well! So that's it! β
Lei Ruxue was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded excitedly, believing Zhou Yao's words.
What an innocent boy...... Zhou Yao thought secretly.
Just as the two were about to continue chatting, suddenly there was a louder sound than thunder outside the shop, and the sound was so loud that it was estimated that even the next street could be heard clearly.
You don't have to think about it to know that this is the owner of a certain store who is dissatisfied with his daughter's long-term non-return.
Lei Ru was frightened like a small animal when she heard the voice, and then greeted Zhou Yao and trotted away in a panic.
"Uncle can't eat people, is he so afraid?"
After Lei Ruxue left, Zhou Yao smiled, the person who shouted just now was Lei Ruxue's father, that is, Uncle Lei, the owner of the ramen shop next door.
"Sakiya, I'll trouble you by taking care of the house, and no one will come anyway."
Zhou Yao greeted the air, got up and walked out.
"What a troublesome master, hum ......"
The light voice echoed in the room, as if to predict the owner's happy mood.
In the evening, Zhou Yao left the ramen restaurant and returned home.
"I have to say that although the uncle looks like that, his craftsmanship is absolutely first-class."
He patted his round belly and sighed with a full hiccup.
"As the master's maid, I can't take that as if I didn't hear it."
Quietly, Sixteen Nights appeared beside Zhou Yao.
"If you agree, I can immediately serve food beyond the human realm!"
"What kind of cuisine is beyond the human realm...... Dark cuisine? β
Faced with the sixteenth night of Sakiye, who was quite unconvinced and planned to show off her cooking skills, Zhou Yao hurriedly stopped her and spit out by the way.
Not to mention the clanging of the poor family, the savings of ingredients are basically zero, even if the ingredients are enough to make sixteen nights, his belly will not be able to hold on.
"Okay, don't stare at me so intently, I'll have a chance to appreciate your cooking skills in the future."
After appeasing Sakiya, Zhou Yao returned to his room, and he couldn't wait to climb into bed and close his eyes to meditate, which was a compulsory lesson every day since he crossed over.
Seeing that the master entered the state, the sixteen night Sakuya who was on the side bowed and left the room.
As the meditation progressed, Zhou Yao's mood gradually calmed down.
He forgot the noise and colorfulness of the present world, forgot his own experiences and past, and returned to the state of an ignorant infant, greedily driving instincts.
Soon, the air precipitated, and an invisible door pulled Zhou Yao in.
The next moment, he seemed to be in the vast universe, endless magic flowing from the source, turning into a little starlight hovering around him, and the spell on the back of his hand appeared at this time, pulling the starlight into his body.
With the continuous infusion of starlight, the magic circuit like a simulated nerve quickly reached saturation, and the abundant magic power was crowded in the small circuit, if it was replaced by someone else, if it was poured like this, he would definitely explode to death, but Zhou Yao did not.
Stimulated by excess magical power, his magic circuits began to expand their territory, opening new paths, and so on until they spread throughout his body.
This phenomenon has only happened in the last few days, originally just to feel the operation of the magic power, but I didn't expect the body to start absorbing magic uncontrollably, at first he was scared to death, and after a few days of adaptation, he got used to it, and at the same time there was a little joy in his heart, because every time he carried out, his magic circuit would increase, which meant that the amount of magic power was constantly improving.
Eventually, the phenomenon that seemed unthinkable to outsiders came to an end, and the development of magic circuits stopped.
At the same time, the spell in Zhou Yao's hand lit up red, and a message appeared in his mind.
γMagic Loop Optimization Completed...... Immortal Unlock (1/7) ......
Zhou Yao, who had withdrawn from meditation, was puzzled to interpret this message, and as soon as his mind moved, another message suddenly came out of the mantra.

Third Heroic Spirit: ???
Fourth Immortal: ???
Fifth Heroic Spirit: ???
Sixth Immortal: ???
Seventh Immortal: ???
Zhou Yao looked at the information in a daze, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
I see, no wonder the magic circuit will increase as if it doesn't want money, no wonder it will summon a two-dimensional character, and the source is really a spell!
Anyway, this is still a curse.,It feels like there's a sense of immediacy like a stand-alone game!
Strength, durability, agility, you can tell what it means from the name. Now there is only E-level, which is beyond reproach.,I still know very well what level of my body.,It is estimated that if the bottom limit is not E-level,Maybe I am not E-level.γ
It's that the magic power has reached the A+ level, which he didn't expect.
Judging from the information, it seems that there are a lot of spells, and the numbers on the numbers are all five digits, which is really a bit much.
The following soul contract ...... My soul is not of this world, and it is inevitable that the contract formed is abnormal, so there is no harm to me.
Now that the first Heroic Spirit, Assassin's Sixteen Nights Sakuya, there are six left, and as expected, the remaining six are Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Berserker, and Caster.
The most important thing is that you will get a different reward every time you unlock it, like unlocking Sakuya, the reward is to optimize the magic circuit, which is said to be optimized, but in Zhou Yao's opinion, it is almost the same as being reborn, originally his magic circuit was only a few short, but after optimization, it has increased more than tenfold, and now he feels full of power.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yao's mood suddenly brightened a lot, he had a clear understanding of the advantages he had now, and he also drew a general direction for the future, unlocking the heroic spirit step by step, and finally climbing to the top of the world, which man does not have a dream of being a strong man.
First of all, the second Heroic Spirit had to be unlocked, but the unlock condition was written "Obtain the first skill", which really made Zhou Yao scratch his head, and he didn't know where to get the skill.
Now I have no talent but no means of attack, of course, through learning is a way, but the magic mark containing the results of magic is undoubtedly a shortcut, and neither of them can be solved in a small town.
"It looks like I'll have to leave here and go to the nearby big cities, but I have to plan it first."
He still knows too little about the information outside the town, and he doesn't know what danger he will encounter if he goes out, after all, he is in the end of the world, and he should be cautious even if he has Sakuya by his side.
"By the way, in a few days the merchant will pass by here, and then you can leave with the caravan, which is much safer than taking risks alone."
The man who owned the shop at home inevitably dealt with caravans, and he also knew the cycle of caravanserais, and he remembered that it would not be long before a caravan would pass through the town.
"Let's go talk to my uncle tomorrow, after all, I have been taken care of by others, I hope Ru Xue won't cry."
Thinking of Lei Ruxue's possible reaction when he heard that he was leaving, Zhou Yao smiled bitterly. Since the death of his parents, Uncle Lei's family is the closest person to him, and the income of the store is not good, and he has not starved to death thanks to eating at Uncle Lei's house, and it has been rubbing for many years.
