Above the mage!

Chapter 160 Little Magic Skill
The 22th day of the month of fog and frost.

Today's afternoon class is "Nolan Continental Geography and War Geography".

As for the morning, Gao De went to the rune workshop on the third floor of Gavin Building as usual to learn rune knowledge and ten new level zero basic runes.

After reading the information compiled by He Xi several times to ensure his initial understanding, Gao De was ready to start today's rune drawing attempt.

However, before he started writing, Gao De first cast a [Divine Guidance +] on himself, ready to try out the effect.

Although the failure rate of his rune drawing process was extremely low.

But it is only extremely low, not that there will be no failure.

So it’s always good to increase the success rate a little bit, and it’s not a waste.

As soon as [Divine Guidance +] was bestowed upon himself, an inexplicable stream of clarity emerged in Gaode's mind.

It was as if a pool of clear water washed Gaode's brain, clearing away all distracting thoughts, focusing his mind, and making his thinking much more active than before.

"Huh?" This situation made Gao De subconsciously exclaim in surprise.

So the reason why divine guidance can improve the target's performance in the next skill is due to this strange state of "empty mind and active thinking"?

“That’s reasonable.”

Many things have a state. For example, in the simplest game of playing basketball, the same person may appear in two completely different states, "hit the target every time" and "missed the target" just one day apart.

Without thinking any more, God did not waste the duration of [Divine Guidance +] and began to draw runes.

Under the influence of [Divine Guidance +], his mind became exceptionally sharp.

The rune diagrams and corresponding deconstructed texts that he had memorized previously came to his mind at this moment, and they were smoothly combined together in his mind, blending and connecting with each other, and were understood by Gao De.

Some of the things that I was confused about before seemed to have been answered now.

Inspiration is flowing and the soul is soaring.

Gao De took a deep breath and started painting.

When he was drawing runes, he often had an inexplicable intuition guiding him on how to start drawing.

He Xi calls this rune talent.

And now, Gao De can clearly feel that this intuition has become stronger.

Gao De once again entered a state of complete concentration and completely forgot about time.

After a long time.

Gao De came back to his senses.

He put down the rune pen and stared blankly at the table, almost unable to believe his eyes.

On ten pieces of magic paper, ten nearly perfect basic runes were placed in front of him, shining with light, revealing the magic of the runes.

Although Gao De's failure rate in drawing runes was extremely low due to his talent and learning methods in runes, he had never been able to successfully draw all ten basic runes in one go like today.

Not a single failure.

And it was completed in such a short time.

He even felt that his writing skills and understanding of runes had improved dramatically.

Gao De was stunned at first, and after a moment of absence, his eyes gradually brightened up and he showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

He still underestimated the effect of [Divine Guidance +].

Or rather, there is a deviation in the understanding of [Divine Guidance +].

Before this, he subconsciously thought that [Divine Guidance +] was an auxiliary spell used to increase the success rate in actual operations.

But that's not all. The more powerful use of [Divine Guidance +] should be above "learning".

First of all, for many things, the most difficult thing is to go from “0” to “1”.

Once you have this "1", all that remains is to repeat the process of becoming proficient and making breakthroughs.

This is especially true when learning skills.

For example, to prepare a certain potion, it may take more than half a year from learning to successfully preparing the potion for the first time.

However, after successfully brewing the potion for the first time, it may not take more than a day to successfully brew it for the second time.

How to find this "1" is the difficulty in learning skills.

The divine guidance technique can help him achieve this "1" faster.

Another point is that it is a unique effect only possessed by [Divine Guidance +].

With the blessing of "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow", [Divine Guidance +] has changed from temporarily improving the target's performance in the next skill to:
Instead of being limited to the next craft, this will last for one hour, regardless of how many crafts the target performs during the process.

This allows the strange state of "empty mind and active thinking" brought about by divine guidance to last for a full hour.

No longer applies to only one skill operation.

Gaode has just experienced it. In this state, he can greatly improve the efficiency of doing anything, as if he has entered the youthful version of the flow state.

Opening your mind can indeed effectively improve your performance in skills activities, but it is not limited to this.
Since the effect has been changed to: Last for one hour, regardless of how many craft activities are performed.

Then, can we also understand that even if we don't perform the skill, the effect of the divine guidance will still exist?
This means that he can also use [Divine Guidance +] to do some brain-intensive tasks.

For example, learning knowledge!
Gao De, whose thoughts had come to light, could hardly wait to open the study materials provided by He Xi again.

It didn't take an hour to draw ten basic runes, and the effect of [Divine Guidance +] was still there.

He wanted to verify his idea.

As expected, Gao De, who thought he had already understood and mastered the knowledge, read and studied it again in this state, and it made him constantly recall the knowledge he had previously understood.

Combining the two, some new understandings suddenly arise.

"So that's how it is." Gao De couldn't help but mutter, revealing an intoxicated look of great enlightenment.

It was not until the duration of [Divine Guidance +] ended that Gao De came to his senses and put down the information in his hand.

Then, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.

Gao De quickly held onto the table with his hands to support his body, then quickly untied the water bag he was carrying and gulped down a big gulp of the leak-free fruit drink.

After a moment, he recovered.

This is a side effect of pushing your brain too hard for an hour.

The brain, which had never been working at such a high load, could not adapt to this intensity all of a sudden, and its defense mechanism was instinctively triggered, wanting to shut down and sleep for a while.

But as long as you do it a few more times, your body will gradually get used to it.

Gao De rubbed his temple which was still slightly swollen.

“Learning is good, but it should be done in moderation. Before your body adapts, you can’t use [Divine Guidance +] too frequently to learn knowledge, otherwise your brain won’t be able to handle it.” He reminded himself.

Although the slight swelling and fatigue in his head made him feel a little uncomfortable, the learning experience in the flow state just now made Gao De extremely addicted, and he felt that he wanted more.

more importantly.
"Isn't this equivalent to the Small Enlightenment Tea?" Gao De thought of the classic spiritual objects in the fairy tales of his previous life, and muttered to himself: "How can this be [Divine Guidance +]? It's clearly a small divine skill."

"Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem that difficult to get first place in credits."
