Chapter 347 Being a mage...it's tough! (9K votes! Requesting monthly tickets at the end of the month)

It must be said that the concept of "system" in online novels was a great invention.

Just like when someone sees the balance in their bank account, they might feel a sense of relief or feel extremely cold.

The concept of a "system" directly captures a deep-seated human desire—

That is the desire to digitize and visualize one's own existence, and to intuitively examine every parameter that represents "oneself".

After all, in a sense, this can be considered a kind of omniscience about "oneself," and the experience itself can bring unparalleled motivation and a sense of security.

Therefore, for an individual, nothing can better demonstrate the greatness and uniqueness of their existence.

The Conqueror King saw the entire first page at a glance.

He rested his strong arms on his knees, his muscular body leaning forward out of curiosity.

He almost pinned Weber down, who appeared "slender" in comparison.

“Hmm…” Iskandar’s face showed a scrutinizing expression. “It seems to be a very serious organization.”

"Don't push me, Rider! I can't see!" Webber's muffled voice came from beneath him.

He was jostled so badly he almost fell onto the book.

However, without a doubt, Rider also voiced Webber's inner thoughts.

"What is this..." Weber muttered softly.

He rubbed his arm, which had been bumped, and looked back at the pages of the book.

A strong sense of déjà vu washes over you.

"This is practically like... a company employee information sheet..."

Just like Kenneth's initial mockery of Webber's mere three-generation legacy—

Because the first grandmother of the Velvet family was just a magician's mistress, she only learned the basics of magic in whispered conversations in bed.

The second generation's mother only inherited the magic with the awareness of "cherishing important memories of her mother".

It was only with Webber's generation that people truly began to seriously explore magic, which is why both the number of magic circuits and the quality of magic markings were extremely crude.

In fact, poor Weber almost exhausted all of his family's savings in order to gain entry into the Clock Tower.

To make a living and continue studying in a place like London where land is incredibly expensive and prices are sky-high—

Naturally, he relied on odd jobs.

In short, Weber was very familiar with this type of file format.

At this moment, this sense of déjà vu had already given him a bad feeling.

Perhaps it is a feeling and emotion called "liver pain".

……

As the Conqueror King chuckled sheepishly and straightened up, Webber unfolded the book that had fallen to the ground.

The first thing you see is a picture of Weber in the upper left corner, but it's three-dimensional, like a picture on a screen or in a magical world, and you can drag it.

My gaze continued downwards, settling on those few lines of crystal-clear black text:
Name: Weber Velvet
Category: [Research and Exploration Layer] (Tentative)

Job Rank: Trainee Member, Level 0 Authority

Department: Department of Magical Research (tentative)

Attribute panel: (Not yet equipped)
Personal assessment: Magic attribute "Earth". Magical properties include detoxification and adjustment of ley lines and creatures. Magic circuit quality is below average, mana generation is 20.

Techniques already mastered:
Basic Hypnotic Magic, Basic Alchemy, Basic Spirit Summoning, Basic Barrier Techniques, Basic Familiar Control, Enhancement Magic...
Those lines of text were clearly black, but they seemed to make the magician feel a little hot, even so hot that his eyes felt dry and difficult to open.

"Eh?! Eh?!"

Unsurprisingly, a childlike, incredulous sound of surprise rang out.

"It's...it's the Magic Research Club!"

For a moment, Weber even felt a little flustered. He involuntarily reached out and pulled at his hair, as if trying to verify if it was true.

The slight pain and the few strands of hair that had been pulled out told him that this was not an illusion.

Now, even his tone of voice has become stammering.

"A department that specializes in studying... magic and stuff?! Does... do such a thing really exist?"

As an apprentice of the Clock Tower, Waver was acutely aware of the meaning behind the word "magic"—

That is definitely not the kind of "magic" that magicians in the world study.

In reality, no matter how exquisite or powerful "magic" may be, its essence remains a miracle that can be achieved through technology, effort, and time.

But true "magic" is a completely different concept.

It refers to a realm that cannot be reached by human research, technology, or historical development under any circumstances; it is a miracle among miracles.

【Five Magics】.

Those are the only five phenomena that flow directly from the root of the world—the [Vortex of Root]—and are almost the laws of the universe themselves, proving the ultimate penetration of the demonic path.

From beginning to end, only five magicians truly "mastered" them.

but now--

"There's actually a department secretly researching it?!"

……

At this moment, Weber had no doubts whatsoever about why he had been unable to find any clues in the book before, or why those spells had such powerful effects.

That's probably a feeling of relief.

A mindset of "Ah, so it involves the realm of magic, then everything makes sense."

For those who are not in the world of magic, it is really hard to understand Webber's complex feelings at this moment.

To put it in the past, or to find a more realistic analogy.

It felt like an ordinary scholar who had devoted his life to studying classical physics was suddenly told that there was a department on Earth that specialized in researching and applying the "ultimate truth of the universe."

Furthermore, this department has now extended an invitation to me.

Put it this way.

The shock he felt was so intense that Weber felt an extremely strong impulse at that moment—

Immediately abandon this Holy Grail War and do everything possible to report to that department.

In contrast to this infinitely bright future.

Even the "Personal Evaluation" on the [Personal Panel] once again reminded Webber of his limited abilities.

Well, it doesn't look so glaring now.

Just as being called "stupid" by an ordinary person might be an insult, but if it comes from "Einstein," it seems perfectly normal.

"Heh heh, in the eyes of this power, my qualities are only below average?"

—I even had this secret joy in my mind.

……

Iskandar, however, was clearly more interested in the detailed information about his Master that the list presented.

Looking at the detailed list of abilities and techniques, he nodded thoughtfully.

"Hmm, as expected, the other side has an exceptionally detailed understanding of our intelligence."

"That's only natural!"

All interest in the Holy Grail War was instantly forgotten.

Weber straightened his back.

As if he had received some kind of honor, he responded to Rider's question with barely suppressed excitement.

"After all, this organization was most likely founded by one—or even more—mage!"

The young man's tone was now excited and proud.

"Whether it's the ability to predict the future."

"And now it all makes sense why that spell could be activated based on the premise that 'they are necessarily righteous,' just as Rider said!"

At this moment, Weber harbored a naive fantasy—

A mage cannot be a bad person.

Of course, in a sense, this conclusion is not bad.

"Kid, jumping to conclusions too early is not a wise move."

Rider shook his head helplessly, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Perhaps this is precisely a deception or illusion used to deceive you and me."

Before Weber could say anything more.

The Conqueror King made a circle with his index finger and thumb and slowly extended it to Webber's forehead, using the threat of a "flick on the forehead" to stop Webber from making an agitated rebuttal.

"Besides -"

He paused, then looked back at the pages of the book and pointed out the most crucial fact.

"If I'm not mistaken, you haven't actually officially joined this organization yet, have you?"

"I can still understand the words 'provisional' and 'trainee'."

The Conqueror King's calm analysis brought Waver's somewhat feverish mind to a standstill.

Upon closer reflection, there are indeed many strange things about this.

especially--

What exactly is this 'CYZ effect'?

Weber murmured.

Rider, unusually quiet, listened attentively as he analyzed the situation.

This was the first time Webber had ever heard this term since he got into magic.

Given that the name of this alliance itself contains these three characters, it is clearly something extremely important.

It could even be the symbol and pillar of this power.

However, even though Weber desperately searched through all the magic knowledge he had learned in the past, and even the occult allusions and historical legends he had seen in those miscellaneous books, he was still in awe.

He eventually discovered, to his dismay, that nothing known could be linked to this mysterious "CYZ effect."

It's like a new star in the sky.

……

Weber paused.

He attempted to do some analysis based on the available intelligence.

"Moreover, this book juxtaposes this effect with magic, meaning that they are not actually the same thing."

"Ugh—this is so annoying, I still can't figure out what it is."

Frustrated, I lightly tapped the edge of the page and subconsciously turned to the next page, hoping to find some answers.

Immediately afterwards, a prompt, like a projection, floated up from the "depths" of the book to the top, like a floating bubble.

Weber unconsciously uttered the meaning aloud:

"This page is for [Equipment/Salaries/Supplies]".

"A total of 3m×3m×3m storage space is provided. Its length, width and height can all be expanded by consuming CYZ effect value."

"Please note: This spacetime can store living beings, but it does not have the power to forcibly restrain living beings that have the ability to influence or travel through 'spacetime'."

"At the same time, the storage space is a continuous and unified spacetime flow, with no physical or conceptual 'separation'. Therefore, please be sure to avoid storing enemy units and valuables together to avoid irreversible losses."

"For special needs such as isolation, layering, or time-space freezing, please contact the Time-Space Equipment Department of the Logistics and Support Layer to submit an improvement request."

After reading this, Webber and Rider beside him both showed expressions of surprise.

After all, in myths and legends around the world, there are many strange objects such as "storage bags", "mustard seed containers" or "worlds within pots".

However, they are all given the titles of "divine artifacts" and "sacred objects," treasures that can only be seen in heroic epics.

Even in modern times, the overall techniques of magic have indeed improved in certain areas.

However, in most magic systems that follow the principle of "equivalent exchange," the ability to "easily" create portable storage items is still an unheard-of fantasy.

The only example Weber knew of was when a noble magician from the Heritage Department mentioned in casual conversation that his family possessed a "coffin" used to preserve their most valuable heirlooms.

That is an item that is temporarily placed in the "world gap" by using the imaginary space and borrowing the imaginary number law.

In fact, the storage was actually a bonus item included with that product.

Because what magicians value more is using this method to isolate powerful mysteries that should not exist in the world from reality, thus preventing the laws of the planet from damaging some precious mysteries or concepts.

This is one of the reasons why Director Ken initially thought that Weber's theory on the application of "modern magic" was utter nonsense.

In the magical world, which is based on "mystery," the older something is, the more powerful it is—that's an ironclad rule.

For magic systems that rely on "mystery," the longer a family has been passed down, the stronger it is, and the more magical artifacts it can leave to its descendants, ensuring the family's continued existence for an even longer period.

But what did Weber see now?!

This so-called "CYZ Alliance" is actually able to casually distribute such a precious "mystery" as a "job offer"!
Even for a magical family like Waver, whose lineage is so shallow as to be practically nonexistent.

This basic storage space alone is valuable enough to be regarded as the family's "supreme ceremonial attire," requiring painstaking maintenance and solemnly passed down from generation to generation.

and--

If the previous shocks and descriptions about the [Magic Research Club] were perhaps just some distant pie in the sky.

Now Weber is receiving tangible benefits.

……

His pupils almost bulged out of their sockets as he stared intently at the description of the storage space.

At this moment, an unbelievable joy overwhelmed me, making my head spin as if the whole world was spinning.

Can a few lines of black text be this beautiful?
For a poor student who didn't even own a family workshop, the pages of the book shone with an incredibly alluring light.

Weber had to abruptly lower his head, forcing himself to look away.

Heaving breaths filled the room as Weber tried to calm himself down.

—Not at all.

My blood seemed to be boiling, and my chest felt like it was about to explode.

I couldn't even slow my heartbeat for a moment; in fact, the edges of my vision seemed to darken due to the excessive excitement.

"This could be fake, this could be fake..."

The child, terrified of poverty, could only keep repeating this to himself, trying to calm his nerves by telling himself that it was all an illusion.

"Tsk. So you've already been bribed, kid?"

Seeing his Master so easily overwhelmed by a little "favor", Rider crossed his arms in dissatisfaction.

"Your capacity is far too small! A mere box cannot even hold a fraction of the lands I have conquered. What is there to be so excited about?"

"Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot!"

Weber called him an idiot several times in a row, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

"It's not that simple! I can't sense any magic formula on it, and—"

He turned his gaze intently back to the pages of the book.

"As for how to use it, you only need to use magic or effect value to mark the item to be put in and give the command."

As I read out the last line of instructions, I subconsciously picked up a pencil and tried it out.

The pencil in his hand vanished instantly, only to reappear just as quickly as he thought of it.

"No incantation required, no drawing rituals needed, no large-scale magic mobilization required, no time for further preparation..."

Just as only professionals can see the hidden technical skill in some operations that seem simple to ordinary people.

Unlike the burly man next to him who could only shout "Oh oh oh" to cover up his stupidity.

Weber was well aware of just how terrifying, even technically incomprehensible, all of these things combined were.

This is simply... impossible to even imagine the underlying principles.

This is something that should be completely impossible!

Rider's dissatisfied voice rang out again, but this time it carried a hint of genuine frustration:
"Hey kid! Look at this! Is there something wrong with this book? Where did it put me—Iskander the Conqueror—in?!"

Weber looked in the direction Rider's thick finger was pointing.

He was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened suddenly.

"No way—if I laugh out loud, Rider will definitely punch me!"

Weber tried to bite his lip to suppress his laughter, but his shoulders began to shake uncontrollably.

Endure... endure...

But how could I possibly resist?!

On this day, Weber laughed until his abdominal muscles ached.

"Pfft... Hahaha! R, Rider!"

"I never expected... I never expected you to be listed in the 'equipment' category—ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Clearly, a flick on the forehead arrived as expected.

"Hmph!" Iskandar crossed his arms and snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied.

"To actually equate me with lifeless swords and armor, considering me a dead object..."

However, despite the complaints, considering that he could indeed be called a "familiar" as a servant at this moment.

In addition, there is obviously no channel for expressing anger or making complaints at this moment.

Rider didn't say much. A true king would not hold a grudge against others; he must have the magnanimity to forgive.

but--

I recalled the promises made by that silver light not long ago, about "fulfilling wishes" and even "granting a real physical body."

Iskandar's eyes flickered slightly.

There is already a path to achieving "existence".

"...To obtain, a physical body?"

……

With their own thoughts in mind, the master and servant looked at the specific information on the second page.

Compared to the somewhat complicated personal information on the first page, this is a different story.

As the second page of the "Equipment/Salary/Supplies" section, it looks much simpler.

It could even be described as somewhat shabby.

Current CYZ effect: 32-string -
Income records:

Salary: 1 regular string x 2 (paid daily at 00:00)

Bonus: 30 Standard Strings (One-time reward for joining the CYZ Alliance)
Expenditures: None (not yet spent)
Current supplies: 3 Energy Potions (homemade, restores approximately 3.5 mana per bottle), 3 Command Seals (provided by the Greater Grail);
Equipment held: Basic Mystic Code (gift, not yet claimed), [CYZ Spellbook], Familiar [Iskandar];
Possesses the following CYZ spells: [Detect Evil] and [RSI Mask Mimicry] (gift, not yet claimed).
After Rider's sobering "flick," Webber had completely calmed down.

Although he still doesn't know the true nature of the [CYZ effect].

But both the salary section and the previous notes regarding storage space usage point to one conclusion—

"That must be something similar to magic, right?"

One can only say that one cannot discuss ice with a summer insect, for they are bound by the season.

Limited by his own understanding and the times, Weber is now completely unable to comprehend the true meaning it represents.

If the one witnessing all this at this moment were the Jewel Elder who wields the Second Law, or a great being like Merlin the Great or Waver the Planeswalker...

They will surely be shocked by the manifestation of this "effect".

But in Weber's eyes at the moment, the impact it brings is far less than that of the actual storage space.

—Perhaps it's just a new source of magic.

Of course, this "contempt" born of "ignorance" was immediately shaken by another shock.

"Huh?! One String of Magic can be exchanged for... a full mana replenishment?!"

Webber carefully read through the conversion of magical units, and his voice suddenly rose in disbelief.

"—Ignoring its specific magical power requirements, providing a complete magical power replenishment to a single spell, Mystic Code, or individual?"

This is perhaps just one of the most insignificant applications of the CYZ effect, which involves "infinity".

But upon closer examination, the meaning it contains sends shivers down one's spine—a shiver because of an unfathomable implication.

The following events further reveal the value of the so-called "1-string".

That was the third page after the second page, the topmost task in the "Action/Research Tasks" page.

Sufficient supplies (long-term mission):
1. Provide a ley line with at least 30 units of magic power (can be repeated).

Task Reward: 1 Plain String

Weber subconsciously started counting on his fingers.

"Hmm... According to the panel, my own magic power is 20 units. That means, if I simply accumulate magic power myself to provide it..."

The result gave him a huge fright, and his scalp tingled slightly.

"At least 1.5 of my total magic power! And that's just the minimum requirement!"

"If we also consider the additional costs required to draw and maintain large-scale spells to gather and stabilize this magic... the actual amount needed is probably far more than this!"

Even now, Weber has never considered the option of "extracting the spiritual veins".

First, he was well aware of the importance of the earth's veins to a city.

Secondly, high-quality ley lines are mostly in the hands of powerful magic families or churches.

At this moment, subconscious fear has not yet given Weber the courage to confront these behemoths directly.

But there is no doubt about it.

Only at this moment did the true value represented by the seemingly insignificant "common string" strike Weber's own understanding like a giant hammer.

……

Moreover, in Weber's view—

The mission project alone, titled "Abundant Resources," seemed to stretch on endlessly.

"The submission of various holy relics, the Atlas Institute contract, various magical formulas and original texts, various magical costume diagrams, and various magical inscriptions..."

Yes, without exception.

These are all problems that Webber Velvet absolutely cannot solve at this stage.

In fact, Weber experienced a great deal of inner turmoil when he saw the task "Hand over Alexander the Great's Cloak" with a clear price tag of [2 chords].

For a moment, he genuinely considered whether to find an opportunity to secretly "monetize" the red cloak of the magnanimous servant next to him.

However, in the end, he still managed to look away from it with great determination.

"Wake up, Webber!"

The angel in his heart, called "conscience," began to beat the restless demon of "greed," shouting at Weber's conscience.

"Is your friendship and trust with Rider only worth 2 chords?!"

but--

With a "thud," the front of the magic book in my hand touched the ground, and I almost lost my grip.

"Wait! What is this?!"

Weber couldn't believe his eyes.

He called out, his finger trembling as he pointed to an utterly absurd task at the bottom of the list.

"Submitting in items or parts related to the Five Great Magics—is it even possible for someone to complete this?!"

My eyes quickly shifted to the task rewards section.

Task reward: Depending on the completeness of the task, at least 1 microstring.
This is undoubtedly a new unit.

But before Weber could even try to find the conversion formula, Rider, who was standing nearby, let out a rare low sigh.

"Kid, look here."

His thick finger pointed further down the list.

"Really... even the Holy Grail, which we are currently vying for, has been included in the price list."

Following the direction Rider was pointing, Weber saw clearly what was written above:

33. Provide the [Heaven's Cup] or [Holy Grail] that are possessed/symbolized as [Third Law] (Knowledge-based quest, only the non-repeating parts can be completed).

Task reward: Depending on the completeness of the task, at least 1 string.
"The Holy Grail... is actually the manifestation of the Third Law?!"

Weber instinctively opened his mouth in surprise, his heart once again overwhelmed with shock.

"If the monarchs of those Clock Towers knew, they would probably all bring their own magic legions and come out in full force to join the battle."

"If this were in the past, this piece of news alone would probably have allowed me to sell it for an astronomical price, and I would never have to worry about money again on the path of demonic cultivation."

after all--

This is a genuine, direct path to mastering [magic]!

But for some reason, Weber didn't feel particularly excited.

His gaze remained fixed on the task reward section.

"It's just... the first string."

Although Weber was unaware at this moment of the immense gap between this "1st string" and the "32 universal strings" he possessed,
But the measurability of placing this priceless "method" within a system that can be priced—

It seemed as if an invisible shock came from those words, shattering Weber's longing and awe for something sacred.

……

So--

If these powerful things are only worth a string effect, then what will be sold in the "shop"?

With an almost awe-inspiring curiosity, Weber looked at the list of [Logistics Support Equipment Supply Department].

Currently available equipment (consuming CYZ effect):
Basic Mystic Code (To be claimed)

Effect: Nullifies spells with three or fewer verses; even powerful spells and ritualistic incantations are unlikely to cause damage. Possesses the leyline trait, reducing spellcasting costs.

Price: 10 standard string
Inventory: Ample
"?!!"

Yes, Waver did see an item called "Basic Mystic Code" waiting to be claimed in his equipment list.

But he never expected that this seemingly ordinary "basic" equipment would have such a terrifying effect!

For a young magician like him who had somewhat recklessly gotten involved in the Holy Grail War.

Such a Mystic Code, capable of nullifying most conventional magic, is tantamount to a second life in critical moments!

Not to mention the feature of reducing spellcasting costs.

This is equivalent to indirectly improving one's magic talent.

I couldn't wait and mentally clicked the "Claim" option.

The next moment, a seemingly plain mage robe appeared out of thin air on his body.

This looks a lot like the "stereotypical" robes of a mage.

The main body of the garment is light gray, with mysterious silver-white patterns embroidered along the edges, while the chest area features a simple "∞" symbol.

"Huh? There's actually an option to hide?"

Although the page has been turned to the second page, adjustments are being made in the "Equipment" section.

The robe on his body disappeared, enveloping him in a way that resembled a barrier, as if it "didn't exist."

If even basic Mystic Codes have such terrifying effects, what about the other equipment?
Weber immediately glanced downwards.

Basic Earth Vein Sensor

Category: Earth Vein Series

Effect: Assists in ley line connection, enhances spell detection, defense, recovery, detoxification and other [ley line series] effects, and provides an additional storage container of approximately 1 mana.

Price: 15 standard string
Inventory: Ample
……

Earth Leyline Magic Crystal

Category: Earth Vein Series

Effect: Replenishes all magic power of a container with less than 50 magic power in one go.

Price: 1 standard string
Inventory: Ample
There are many, many [Earth Vein Series] alone, some even having several hundred pages.

However, although Webber was almost dazzled by the sheer variety of equipment, it was clear that he couldn't afford most of it.

"Why is there a cost effect in purchasing, and also a cost effect in using it...?"

This was the first time Weber had ever so desperately wanted "money".

He has decided that if he obtains the Holy Grail, he will wish for an infinite Cyclic Effect.

His gaze was even fixed on one of the pieces of equipment—

Magic Circuit Embedded System - Type I (Ground)
Category: Magic Circuit/Earth Leyline Series
Effect: Adds a new earth-attribute magic circuit with a magic capacity of 500 and an excellent operating quality.

Price: Depends on requirements, requires Level 1 official member privileges, and specific customization information must be discussed with the Logistics and Equipment Department.
The price description made Webber look away from the many amazing pieces of equipment.

Only then did he realize that, apart from some items that looked like "fast-moving consumer goods," most of the equipment required Level 1 official member privileges.

"...Due to differences in compatibility and adaptability between the individual user [■■] and the existing mainstream technologies of [this universe], in order to ensure security and effectiveness, customized services require enhanced privileges and evaluation by the relevant departments of the [Research and Exploration Layer]."

Yes, that makes sense.

Weber didn't find anything wrong with it.

In his view, things like magic circuits are obviously not so simple to customize because everyone's requirements and circumstances are different.

……

and--

Since the equipment given away is already this powerful.

What amazing effects will this technique, also given as a free gift and named [RSI Masking Mimicry], have?
Filled with excitement and anticipation, Weber turned his attention to the detailed description of the technique.

However, as he carefully read the complex and obscure instructions, his brows gradually furrowed.

He understood the description of the effect.

"...isolate the space and cut off the connection with the outside world."

Weber couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

He muttered to himself, "Why is it just a spell for hiding and escaping?"

"Oh dear! You're incredibly foolish!"

Even Rider, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Use your brain, kid! Can't you see how amazing the strategic value of this magic trick is?"

"Having it means that in most cases, you will have an absolutely safe place! Isn't that more important than having one or two more flashy but impractical attack spells?"

"I am the main force in this war!"

"But...Rider!"

After much deliberation, Weber still felt the cost-effectiveness was too low, pointing to the astonishing consumption figures.

"Rider! This spell costs at least 10 arcane points per second!"

Rider sighed again, "Alas...this only further demonstrates its power."

"Moreover, its positioning is clearly designed for you to use as a comeback tactic in critical moments."

The burly man paused, then, to Weber's somewhat surprised look, reached for the [Grimoire].

He turned to the third page, which was the "Tasks and Research Projects" page.

"Rider, how could you turn it over now?! It wasn't like this before..."

Weber's voice trailed off awkwardly under Rider's increasingly displeased gaze.

He remembered that Rider had apparently become his "equipment".

The equipment list in this book clearly states "Familiar [Iskandar]".

And since it has already been certified as "ownership".

Therefore, since Waver, as the "master," can touch and use the grimoire, Rider can naturally also operate it to some extent.

"You really know how to bring up the most awkward topics."

Seeing that Weber had realized this, the Conqueror sighed helplessly.

—How come this guy is always so lucky?
He bent his finger and tapped the pages of the book.

"Instead of just eyeing these treasures with longing, given the inability to conquer and plunder them..."

"Hmm. Let's see what ways we can increase this so-called 'CYZ effect'."

Weber reluctantly looked away from the fifth page of the spell purchase list.

Although the exchange conditions are not yet visible before becoming official members, Webber could already sense their power just from their names—

(The following techniques have already been described; feel free to submit your work in the book review section:)
The exchange list even thoughtfully included the conversion unit for the CYZ effect.

1弦= 10^6微弦= 10^9纳弦= 10^12皮弦= 10^15飞弦= 10^18阿弦= 10^23普弦。

One can only say that the string of zeros almost shattered Weber's heart.

At that moment, Weber Velvet experienced a kind of pain known as "the poverty of the mage".

"Hmm, how about we start with a few simple tasks now?"

So, after having the grimoire list the tasks he could currently complete, Waver accepted two tasks.

One approach is to address the uncertainties in some existing magic texts.

This is actually a very simple task.

The task description is very clear:
All it takes is for Waver to look at it once, and then, with the help of the spellbook, to "completely and successfully" draw those rituals on the blank spell pages.

As for the second task...

"W-What?!"

Weber's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost jumped off his chair.

"Tomorrow night, head to the harbor and stop Saber and Lancer from mutually destroying each other?!"

Only at this moment did he suddenly remember—

Ah! It seems I'm here to participate in the Holy Grail War!
Even looking at the task reward marked "10 standard strings".

Weber turned his head sharply, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented light.

At this moment, the young magician had never felt so determined.

"Rider! We must seize the Holy Grail!"

He shouted out excitedly.

"After all, this is a reward of at least one whole string!"

(End of this chapter)
