Above the mage!

Chapter 103 Extra Points
Frozen Damage Gaode looked at the newly added additional effects, thoughtfully.

The strengthening direction of [Freeze Ray] may seem ordinary, but in fact it should be very effective in some special environments or team battles.

For example, in an extremely cold environment, there is no need for any preparation, basically every [Freeze Ray +] can directly trigger the freezing effect.

[Freezing Ray] has never appeared often in Gaode's hands.

Because whether in terms of power, casting distance or damage range, it is far inferior to [Fire Arrow].

But this does not mean that [Fire Arrow] is a high-level spell like [Ice Ray].

[Ice Ray] itself possesses strategic value that cannot be replaced by [Fire Arrow].

This is also one of the characteristics of magic. Although they are both damage spells, their scope of application is extremely different.

Even the lower damage spells have their own unique effects.

The magic in this world is not a simple system of promotion and elimination as described in some old novels that Gao De had read in his previous life.

The great magicians in those books seemed to have mastered a lot of spells, but in fact they usually only used one or two of the most powerful spells.

Here, the spells mastered at level 0 can even be used all the way to the end.

For example, [Hand of the Mage] is always used by high-level mages.

This also makes the breadth of each wizard's spell library extremely important.

Only when there are enough spells stored in the spell library can you deal with various situations with ease and be called "omnipotent".

This time, Maciej let everyone rest for an hour before leading the team back into the jungle.

This day's pioneering mission was a bit thrilling with the group of earth demon bats encountered at the very beginning, but there were not many unexpected events during the rest of the time.

And it seems that the number of geomantic creatures gathered in an area always fluctuates around a fixed value.

Because they killed twelve earth vein creatures including a 1st-ring earth vein creature at the beginning, Maciej could not find any earth vein creature in his "covered" area before dark in the afternoon.

This was the first time in so many days that Gao De's team completed the task ahead of schedule.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

As time approaches the 20th day of the Harvest Month, this "land reclamation" that has lasted for more than half a month is finally coming to an end.

The harsh environment and life of sleeping in the open air have made the mage apprentices, who were radiant when they set out, now look dishevelled and dirty.

Death is always with us.

Even in Gao De's team, one person unfortunately died.

It was a 1-ringed leaf viper, hiding in the leaves and attacking suddenly.

Although Maciej acted in time and killed him.

But the leaf viper's venom spread too quickly. In just a few minutes, the venom had already infected the attacked mage apprentice's blood throughout his body, making it incurable.

However, as time goes by, unless there are special circumstances, the casualty rate is getting lower and lower every day.

For more than ten days in a row, there were at least five or six battles every day.

This allowed the wild mages, who initially only wanted to make some extra money, to become more skilled in dealing with the underground creatures, gain more experience, become more vigilant, and gradually form their own understanding of combat.

This is especially true for Gaode.

Before this, his combat experience was too scarce.

The intensive development over the past ten days has made up for Gaode’s weakest link.

Moreover, by fighting in a team with so many mage apprentices, and led by the first-ring mage Maciej from the law enforcement team, he also learned about the specific effects of many spells and greatly broadened his horizons.

Of course, all this is secondary.

For Gao De, the truly important gains are invisible to others. With an idea in his mind, he opened the "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow".

Compared to before Banyue set out, the information panel of "Feng Ling Yue Ying" is undoubtedly much richer now.

origin:

0th ring——[Gray-eyed Rat],[Earth Demon Bat] (already used);

【人类】（2/7）、【掘地虫】（1/7）、【狼鼠】（7/7）、【凶暴鼠】（7/7）、【魔爆蛙】（2/7）、【电蜥蜴】（7/7）、【鬃犬】（1/7）、【巨兵蚁】（2/7）。

When we started, there were only 7 entries in the origin column, but now it has expanded to 14, which is exactly doubled.

But that's all.

Godd believed that there must be far more types of 0-ring leyline creatures emerging from the "Hogan leyline" than these.

However, not all 0-ring earth vein creatures will migrate to a place so far away from the center of the earth vein, and not all earth vein creatures will appear on both sides of the official road.

After all, the area they were involved in the sweep was only a very small area.

"Before I knew it, I've been out for seventeen days."

Gao De couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the uniform he had just bought in Bremen and was going to wear for one or two years had been worn out due to the intense outdoor life.

However, although these days were hard, Gao De became a little addicted to watching the numbers on the "Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow" origin column jump every day, as well as his increasingly skilled fighting skills and stable mentality.

I really feel a bit like the "Internet addict boy" in my previous life who leveled up all night in the Internet cafe with a bucket of instant noodles and a sausage. Although it was hard work, he was content and happy.

Now, apart from the origins that have been used and the origins that have not been fully collected, Gaode still has 3 points of origin that have not been used.

Thinking of this, Gaode has already set his sights on the spell bar.

Spells:

0th level: [Repair +], [Acid Splash +], [Freeze Ray +], [Increase Resistance +], [Flame Arrow +], [Blade Protection +];
[Hand of the Mage], [Creation of Water], [Compass], [Purify Food], [Tracking Mark], [Flash], [Touch of Fatigue], [Detect Magic], [Read Magic], [Detect Poison], [Magic Tricks], [Switch], [Communication].

There are a total of 19 0-level spells, 6 of which have been upgraded, including all the most commonly used spells in high-level battles.

Among the remaining spells that have not been upgraded, Gaode's current usage rate is not very high, so he was not in a hurry to upgrade them immediately after obtaining the origin.

It can be predicted that after this land reclamation mission is over, he will not have the opportunity to obtain the origin so quickly in a short period of time, and the progress of collecting the origin will be temporarily stagnant.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

Gaode needs to consider carefully which three spells to put these three origin points on.

After thinking about it for a few days, he has made a decision.

Excluding spells that can improve combat power and spells that are currently used more frequently, the priority of "adding points" should be:

Spells that are foreseeable to be used frequently > Spells like [Repair+] that have a certain chance of providing monetary benefits > Others.

According to this idea, the three spells selected by Gaode are:

[Detect Magic], [Water Creation], [Read Magic].

"It's easy to find food for survival in the wild, but it's not so easy to find a safe water source. Food is also relatively light to carry, so even if you bring several days' worth of dry food, it won't be too heavy."

"Water is different. If you calculate based on 3.5 liters per day, that's 3.5 kilograms. If you bring water for three days, that's 10 kilograms."

"So, the main source of water for survival in the wild still has to rely on magic."

"My next plan is to go to the Seres School of Magic to study. It is foreseeable that the chances of coming into contact with magic texts will greatly increase. The frequency of reading magic will definitely increase."

"Needless to say, Detect Magic has always been one of the most commonly used spells by mages, second only to Mage's Hand."

Gao De reorganized his thoughts in his mind, determined his choice, and quickly focused his attention on the three flashing yellow "+" signs behind the three spell entries.
