Spell Model

Early the next morning.

Brother Ke Yi led the army out of the city in a lively and energetic manner, their momentum unstoppable as they headed to hunt the Black-scaled Lizardmen.

Su Nan, as usual, stayed in his room, doing his own things.

In the study with doors and windows tightly closed, the flickering yellow candlelight danced.

Su Nan sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed.

After about two hours, he ended his meditation and opened his eyes.

On the panel, the proficiency of the Star Ring Meditation Technique increased by another 5 points.

His mental power also rose by 0.01.

“At this rate, it will take around six months to construct the first star ring.”

Su Nan’s gaze flickered slightly.

According to the description in that enlightenment book, without external aid, most wizard apprentices take two to three years to construct their first star ring.

Talented wizard apprentices can shorten this time to about a year.

From this perspective, even eliminating the beneficial effect of the Silver Moonflower Essence, his ‘aptitude’ is considered quite excellent.

After all, in most games, players with a data-driven panel are all unparalleled geniuses compared to the natives.

However, Su Nan was still not satisfied.

It takes more than half a year just to construct the first star ring. The time needed for the second and third star rings will be even longer.

If calculated, it might take three to four years to advance to a second-level wizard apprentice.

Wouldn’t advancing to a third-level wizard apprentice take ten to twenty years?

And what about advancing to a formal wizard?

Hundreds of years?

It should be noted that the lifespan of a wizard apprentice is not much longer than that of ordinary people.

Without any physical transformation, the maximum lifespan won’t exceed two hundred years.

Only by advancing to a wizard, breaking through the shackles, and achieving a substantial transformation in life can one’s lifespan be greatly extended.

Su Nan’s goal is to advance to a wizard before his lifespan ends, so he can live to witness the elemental resurgence in a thousand years.

“I still need to further enhance my meditation efficiency.”

Su Nan got up and approached the bookshelf, taking out the “Zero Level Potion Compendium.”

This book recorded a total of eighteen zero-level potion formulas.

Besides Dragon Blood Potion, there are Brute Force Potion, Healing Potion, Swift Potion, Sensory Potion, and so on.

Among them, the one that intrigued Su Nan the most was a zero-level potion called the Lesser Active Potion.

The effect of this potion is similar to that of the Silver Moonflower Essence, both enhancing mental activity, but its effect is much stronger, making it an upgraded version of the Silver Moonflower Essence.

“If I could use the Lesser Active Potion to aid in meditation, I could become a second-level wizard apprentice in at most one or two years.”

Su Nan’s heart burned with excitement.

However, upon seeing the materials needed to make the Lesser Active Potion, his excitement cooled down.

Although ingredients like Soul Mind Herb, Dragon-eyed Mint, and Black-spotted Python Bone Powder are precious, they can be found if one is willing to spend the time.

But the sap of the Clear Mind Tree was troubling.

In Su Nan’s limited gaming memory, it seems the Clear Mind Tree only exists within the territory of the Southern Azure Gold Empire.

Separated by thousands of miles, acquiring the sap of the Clear Mind Tree is nearly impossible.

“I can only try using the Silver Moonflower Essence as a substitute.”

The primary effect of Clear Mind Tree sap is enhancing mental activity, similar to the Silver Moonflower Essence.

Using the Silver Moonflower Essence as a substitute seems quite feasible.

The key is that the Silver Moonflower is not particularly rare.
One silver coin can buy a flower.

However, whether it’s feasible or not still depends on gathering other materials to conduct further experiments.

Besides that, the Lesser Active Potion is the most difficult to make among Zero Level Potions.
Su Nan estimates that at least a level 2 in Potion Making is needed to start.

Otherwise, the success rate would be ridiculously low.

“During this time, I’ll use the Lesser Dragon Blood Potion to practice and increase proficiency. Once the materials are all gathered, Potion Making should roughly reach level 2, and then I can conduct the experiments.”

Su Nan put down the “Zero Level Potion Compendium” and took several spell model books from the shelf.

The predecessor had left behind only four types of spell models.

They were Mage Hand, Acid Splash, Sleep Spell, and Flash Spell.

Without exception, they were all the lowest-grade Zero Circle Spells.

However, these perfectly fit Su Nan’s current situation.

Switching to One Circle spells, given his current mental power, mastering them would be nearly impossible.

Su Nan opened the pages, dense with text and an array of complex and sophisticated models.

Spell models are the foundation for mastering spells.

To cast a spell, one must first use mental power to weave the corresponding spell model and then use the model to trigger energy particles and release the spell in a special way.

In simple terms, a spell model is akin to a CPU processor that transforms energy particles into various spells.

However, this processor is extraordinarily precise and complex, with complex spell circuits and nodes enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

Even the simplest Zero Circle spell model is far beyond ordinary people’s imagination in complexity.

Every spell model involves several subjects.

Take Mage Hand, for example, it involves energy circulation and force field energy conversion. To master Mage Hand, one must find related books on these subjects and learn them thoroughly.

Thus, it often takes a wizard apprentice years to learn a spell.

But Su Nan, being a special case, is an exception.

With his Player Panel, he doesn’t need to understand the knowledge in the books, nor does he need to grasp prerequisite knowledge; he only needs to read the spell books to increase the spell learning progress.

Even if he doesn’t understand a thing!

Similarly, there’s no need for painstakingly constructing complex spell models in the mind.

Once the learning progress is maxed, he can instantly master the spell, along with the related knowledge becoming comprehended in an instant.

This is the advantage of a player.

Opening the spell model book for Mage Hand, Su Nan focused on reading.

About half an hour later, a line of text slowly appeared before him.

[Reading “Mage Hand Spell Model”, ‘Mage Hand’ learning progress +0.08%]

In the following time, other than meditating, Su Nan spent every day reading spell books.

Occasionally, he would take time to process the Black-scaled Lizardmen corpses sent by Brother Ke Yi’s men, extracting their blood to make Lesser Dragon Blood Potions.

As his skill proficiency increased, his potion-making techniques became more adept, and the success rate gradually rose.

Later on, he could average making a bottle of Lesser Dragon Blood Potion from three portions of drake’s blood.

After half a month, he had accumulated eleven bottles of Lesser Dragon Blood Potions.

When Brother Ke Yi rushed back to the Blackstone City inner fort meeting hall, he saw Su Nan and the potions neatly arranged in a line on the table.

“Is this the potion you said could enhance physical constitution?”

Brother Ke Yi picked up a bottle of potion and, gazing at the shaking red liquid in the transparent glass, a look of amazement appeared on his face.

The knights around him craned their necks toward the potions on the table, their eyes filled with desire.

After all, according to Su Nan, these potions were effective even for official knights.

Who wouldn’t want to become stronger?
