Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 13 A Surge in Strength

Time flies, and it's already early October.

Pei Ze has been at the Tower Academy for a little over a month now.

Since taking on the task of Garden No. 8, he has spent his days in the garden tending to the strange and wonderful plants, except for meditation and going to the library.

Although life was a bit busy, it was very fulfilling.

More importantly, their strength is also gradually improving.

【Spirit 14.24】

[Body Condition 5.10]

[Task 1: Improve the Mage's Hand, estimated time remaining 22 days, 15 hours, and 23 minutes]

[Task 2: Improve Plant Aura, estimated time remaining 20 days, 13 hours, and 34 minutes]

In the living room, Pei Ze looked at the data detected by the All-Knowing Eye and let out a long sigh of relief.

During this period, as soon as his mental energy was fully restored each day, he would immediately use acceleration to speed up the analysis process of the will rune.

On average, a Will Rune is successfully constructed every three or four days.

Just now, the All-Knowing Eye finally finished analyzing the No. 6 Will Rune.

At this point, Pei Ze had already met half of the requirements for a second-level wizard apprentice.

"Next, I just need to wait for my mental strength to reach level 18, then I can advance to the second level of wizard apprentice."

Pei Ze smiled.

Just yesterday, he had met with the members of the Celestial Spirit Society and learned that Shao Hongcai had recently completed his fourth Will Rune.

People like Guan Ling and Yuan Wanjun have just constructed their third Will Rune.

It can be said that he has left the rest of the society far behind.

Even looking at the entire first year, his current progress is definitely among the top.

"It's a pity that we can't build rune number 7 right now, otherwise increasing spirit to 18 points would be a piece of cake."

Pei Ze felt a little regretful.

Compared to the first six Will Runes, the seventh Will Rune has a more complex structure, and it is impossible to successfully construct it without sufficient mental strength.

And this "certain degree" is 18 points of mental strength.

In other words, he can forget about creating new will runes until he advances to the second level of wizard apprentice.

In fact, the hierarchy of wizard apprentices is based on this point.

"I can only increase my mental strength by 0.18 points per day through meditation. I should be able to raise it to 18 points by the end of October."

Pei Ze nodded secretly.

It's alright, not too long.

In fact, when most wizard apprentices successfully construct six Will Runes, their mental strength is usually not far off, even if it doesn't reach 18 marks.

Only Pei Ze's mental growth lagged behind because he constructed his will runes too quickly.

Such examples are extremely rare.

However, Pei Ze didn't care.

It's late October then. Anyway, the No. 7 Will Rune can still be analyzed normally during this period. We can just build it directly after the spirit breaks through the limit.

In addition, during this period, mental energy can be used to accelerate the analysis and improvement of spell models without worrying about wasting it.

"Omniscient, analyze the No. 7 Will Rune." Pei Ze immediately chanted in his mind.

[Task created, analysis of Rune #7 has begun, estimated time 23 days]

"Consumes spirit to accelerate the improvement of plant aura."

Pei Ze was already used to that feeling of being completely drained in an instant. After rubbing his temples, he forced himself to check the acceleration status.

[Task 2: Improve Plant Aura, estimated time remaining 14 days, 15 hours, and 34 minutes]

Pei Zexin calculated that if he accelerated the process twice more, the plant spirit should be fully improved.

The reason he chose to accelerate Plant Aura first was because he cast Plant Aura five or six times a day to catalyze the plants in his garden.

Improving the plant aura sooner to reduce spellcasting costs will free up more mental energy for acceleration.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

Another, more important reason is the improved effect of the plant aura provided by the All-Knowing Eye.

In addition to reducing spellcasting costs, it also allows for precise control over the growth direction of plants. By combining it with specific vine-type seeds, it can completely and unexpectedly bind enemies in battle.

Simply put, it has suddenly transformed from a production-type spell into a combat support-type spell!

Pei Ze immediately decided to master this spell as soon as possible.

Currently, among the zero-ring spells offered by the academy, only Acid Splash can be considered a direct attack.

The mage's hand counts as half.

The remaining spells, such as Dizziness, Sleep, Fatigue Touch, and Flash, are all combat support spells.

As for spells like Detect Poison, Repair, and Lockpicking, they are purely auxiliary spells that offer virtually no help in combat.

Before advancing to the third-level wizard apprentice level and gaining the qualification to learn first-level spells, Pei Ze's combat skills were very limited.

Therefore, having an additional combat support spell is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

"Plant Aura, Mage's Hand, and Stun spell all need improvement, and there's still a long way to go in learning new spells!"

Pei Ze suddenly realized that he still had a lot to do.

After a moment of reflection, he got up and walked outside, preparing to go to the logistics department.

Pei Ze received his reward for the first seven-day cycle of tending the herb garden on the first day of October. Combined with his income from guidance, his wallet swelled considerably.

However, the expenses are also staggering.

The cost of just one Spirit-Nourishing Grass leaf per day is a considerable expense.

So he only has about 40 contribution points left and about ten gold coins, which is enough to buy at most two spell models.

"The herb garden won't pay out the next round of wages for another three days, and we need to set aside money to buy three days' worth of Spirit-Nourishing Grass. We don't have enough money."

Pei Ze sighed softly, determined to find a way to learn a side job after advancing to the second level of wizard apprentice.

Whether it's refining potions or copying scrolls, mastering just one skill can greatly alleviate the predicament of being short of money.

About half an hour later, Pei Ze arrived at the logistics department.

The office was still deserted, with only the white-haired old man engrossed in reviewing documents.

The white-haired old man always had a cold attitude towards the wizard apprentices who came to the logistics department to exchange resources, and he would only say a few words in a businesslike manner.

However, given his status as a formal wizard, all the wizarding apprentices treated him with utmost respect and dared not utter the slightest complaint.

What Pei Ze couldn't understand was why a proper wizard would be working here.

This kind of job can be completely handed over to wizard apprentices.

"My lord, I wish to exchange for the spell models of Acid Splash and Touch of Fatigue," Pei Ze said respectfully as he approached the desk.

The white-haired old man glanced up at him and said indifferently, "40 gold coins."

"Exchange it with contribution points." Pei Ze handed over the apprentice badge.

Without further ado, the white-haired old man pointed his finger, and a large number of white light spots immediately floated out of the apprentice badge and quickly disappeared into his palm.

Exactly forty, no more, no less.

After that, the white-haired old man flicked his finger, and two books floated off the bookshelf and landed on Pei Ze.

Pei Ze reached out and took it, secretly envious.

Silent casting of spells!

Techniques for casting spells silently.

Wizards who have mastered the art of casting spells silently can often launch surprise attacks on their opponents in battle.

However, silent spellcasting is a very profound and advanced skill, which requires a wizard's magical proficiency and mental strength to be very demanding. Those who can master this skill are basically formal wizards.

Pei Ze estimated that if he used his All-Seeing Eye to analyze the spells, he should be able to master the ability to cast them silently in advance.

However, it will definitely take a long time. It would be better to analyze it after advancing to the third level of wizard apprentice.

Holding the books, Pei Ze turned and left the logistics department.

As I passed the entrance, five or six people walked towards me.

The two passed each other by.

Pei Ze was completely focused on the arrangements to come and didn't pay any attention to what those people looked like.

After taking a few steps, the leader of the group, a tall male student with a slightly pale face, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Pei Ze, his eyes narrowing slightly.

His companion, noticing he had stopped, looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Shaoqi, what's wrong?"
