The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 493 Night Fog Apprentice

All of Dawn Academy's resources are stored in cards, and the space slots can also be used to store cards.

The card storage booklet shows that she has ten free initial card storage slots, each of which can store up to 99 cards of the same type.

This means she spent 6 Mana's permanent mental energy to obtain a spatial magic item.

Greta spent more than 6 Mana's permanent mental energy constructing the spell structures for those few useless apprentice-level spells in her mind.

Just looking at the card storage slots in the Dawn Magic Learning system made her feel that the 6 Mana she had spent on permanent mental energy was worth it.

As for adding more card storage slots in the future, it will require spending permanent mental energy, which is equivalent to 2 mana. Permanent mental energy can add 100 card storage slots, which Greta finds acceptable.

Compared to real spatial items, these 2 Mana permanent mental energy are too cheap.

Even though she was just an ordinary apprentice with little mental energy, she only thought it was because she was too weak, not because the card storage slots were too expensive.

After Greta figured out how to use the card storage interface, she put all the {food cards - white bread} hidden in the lounge into the first slot.

All of this was obtained by using her extra mental energy during this period.

The main problem is that there's nothing else to buy at the trial shop.

She couldn't bear to waste her mental energy, so before each meditation session, she would exchange her remaining active mental energy for gem coins and then buy {food card - white bread}.

Even if {food card - white bread} doesn't sell well in Lance City, she can still keep it here as her own food.

Anyway, it would be a waste not to use this mental energy, so it was restored after meditation.

On the other side, Greta spent more time figuring out the personal information interface by following the beginner's guide.

[Dawn Society Member Information]

Name: Greta

[Status: Level 1 Night Fog Apprentice (0/10)]

[Contribution points: 0]

[Gem Coins: 0/1000]

There are only a few pieces of information, but each one is very important.

In the Dawn Society, magic power level and magical strength are not considered; only social status is taken into account.

Identity level is linked to purchasing privileges in the card shop.

Night Mist Apprentices are the lowest-ranking members of the academy and can only purchase level 1 resource cards without limit.

Level 1 Night Fog Apprentices have one opportunity per month to purchase a Level 2 Resource Card.

Level 2 Night Fog Apprentices have two opportunities per month to purchase Level 2 Resource Cards.

And so on.

The level 1 resource cards are just ordinary cards, the same tier of cards she previously bought without limit in the trial shop.

Level 2 resource cards involve some low-level magic resource cards.

After being promoted from a Level 10 Night Fog Apprentice, you become a Level 1 Night Observer, and from then on, you can purchase Level 2 Resource Cards without limit.

This is equivalent to unlocking one level of card purchase privileges for each major identity level you advance.

Following the Night Watchers are the Beacon Watchers, Dawn Scholars, and Navigators. There is only one way to advance in rank—by extending an {Dawn Society Trial Invitation} to other spellcasters who wield magical energy.

If the other party accepts the invitation and eventually completes the trial to become a formal member of the academy, you can receive 1, 3, 5, 10, or 20 contribution points depending on the magic level of the inviter.

Upgrading your status level requires contribution points. Each minor level of a Night Mist Apprentice requires 10 contribution points to advance to the next level.

Greta could tell from her contribution points that the elf gentleman hadn't completed the trial yet; otherwise, it wouldn't be showing "0" there.

Contribution points can be used not only to upgrade one's status level, but also to temporarily unlock the ability to purchase advanced resource cards beyond one's current status level. This way, even if one's status level is insufficient, one can still purchase a small number of desired advanced resource cards.

However, the consumption of contribution points is irreversible, so it's more worthwhile to use them to upgrade your status level.

Greta was somewhat disappointed when she suddenly learned that the resource cards in the card shop were divided into levels and not every member could buy them.

But Greta became happy again when she learned that the members' status and level were not based on talent or strength, but only on the contribution points earned from inviting new members.

Her elemental affinity is average, and her magic level is only at the apprentice level, so she can't compete in that area. But when it comes to inviting new members, she can still work hard!

The final gem coin section displays the gem coins currently stored.

The storage limit is a full 1000 gem coins.

Previously, her gem coins couldn't be stored; they could only be used to buy cards in the trial shop.

To increase this limit, you can increase the gem coin limit by 1000 for every additional magical energy equivalent to 2 mana you recharge.

Greta currently only has 50 points of active mental energy available, and her status level is only Level 1 Night Mist Apprentice. She only has the right to purchase one Level 2 resource card per month, so this gem coin limit is sufficient for now.

Greta then took one last look at the card shop.

Although she can only purchase level 1 resource cards without limit now, she can still see other cards, even in more detail than in the "Dawn Society Resource List".

Not only does it contain the {Green Ghost Fruit} which can enhance mental power, but it also contains various magical {magic cards} and {skill cards}.

"Even if you're not very talented, accumulating one {skill card} or a few {magic cards} should be enough to protect yourself!" Greta exclaimed excitedly.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have the authority to purchase these cards yet.

Greta returned to her personal information screen, recharged her remaining active mental energy into gem coins, and then spent 10 gem coins to buy ten {Dawn Academy Trial Invitations} from the card shop.

Earning more contribution points and upgrading your guild's status level is the most important thing.

Put the {Dawn Academy Trial Invitation} away, *glug*

Greta touched her stomach; she was a little hungry.

She had just seen some ready-made food cards in the Level 1 resource cards and picked out one that looked like it had meat and vegetables and was relatively inexpensive.

{Finished Food Card - Spicy Beef Flavor Instant Noodles}
use!

A red paper bowl holds a steaming bowl of noodles.

The delicate, pale yellow noodles, coated in chili oil, exude an extremely tempting aroma.

But... where are her meat and vegetables?
She used the small wooden fork in the noodle bowl to scoop out some dried vegetable peels and a little something that looked like diced meat.

But the aroma was just too tempting, so she stopped hesitating and quickly took a bite: "Oh my god! How can it be so delicious!"

Greta could no longer remember the meat and vegetables; the noodles were so delicious that they exceeded her expectations!
