I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 24 Upgrade (Part Two)

"But it's not magic after all, it's just an innate characteristic. So the Iron Earthworm can only move through soil that doesn't contain magic. If it's in soil that contains magic, its movement speed will be greatly reduced. If there's an earth element spell, like the Earth Condensation spell to solidify the ground, it's like an insect trapped in amber underground."

"This iron earthworm is okay for dealing with ordinary people, but it pales in comparison to experienced professionals."

"Although it's difficult for us in the Mutation Science field to directly create combat-capable finished products like Alchemy during the apprentice stage, once you reach a certain level of research, you'll understand that Mutation Science far surpasses Alchemy. The puppets created by Alchemy are rigid and inflexible, possessing only the most basic logic, and cannot be entrusted with complex tasks. Mutation Science is different," Anglie said calmly.

"I understand, teacher. I will study mutation science diligently," Lynn said.

Anglie nodded in satisfaction. "Study hard on your own."

After speaking, Anglie raised his right hand, and a withered, stiff finger under his black robe pointed at the void.

The next moment, a circular portal appeared in front of Anglie.

Anglie stepped into the portal and disappeared.

After making sure the teacher had left, Lynn put the diary back on the bookshelf.

He thought about it and wasn't sure if his teacher was jealous because he was looking at knowledge from other systems.

Put the notes back on the bookshelf.

Lynn's resolve was unwavering: he wanted to learn mutation studies, and he also wanted to learn alchemy.

However, for now, I'll focus primarily on mutation studies. After all, I have a teacher there, and I can ask them questions if I don't understand something.

The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology.

Refining gold, refining gold—just looking at the second "gold" character tells you how expensive this deputy position is.

Moreover, without materials, alchemy cannot proceed.

On the contrary, mutation studies seem to have many merits.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lynn began his meditation for the day.

Daily meditation is essential. During the day, it's hard to concentrate while riding in a carriage, so I can only read. In the evening, I have to dedicate most of my time to meditation, and use the remaining time to study the Sleeping Mantra.

And after the teacher left, Lynn's eyes flickered.

Open the properties panel.

Silently chant "upgrade".

The level 2 immediately became level 3.

A new energy surged through my body.

Not only the physical body, but also every part of the body was filled with new power.

Lynn felt his strength growing rapidly, as if he could kill a bull with a single punch.

Of course, he knew it was an illusion.

It just increased from 1.32 to 1.62.

It only increased physical fitness by the equivalent of 22.7%.

The overall combat effectiveness resulting from this comprehensive improvement in physical fitness is certainly more than 22.7%, but it's still far from being able to kill a bull with a single punch.

However, the improvement in physical fitness was only a side effect; what benefited him most was not just the hidden improvements in his attribute panel.

Sitting cross-legged in meditation, Lynn indeed felt that her meditation speed had increased significantly and that it was becoming much smoother.

After meditating for two hours, the eleventh earth ring was gradually forming, but it collapsed halfway through.

Lynn opened her eyes, undeterred. If it didn't work today, she would wait another day.

Today's efficiency was much faster than yesterday's, and he was fascinated by the feeling of making progress every day. He had originally estimated that it would take at least three or four more days to condense the eleventh earth ring, but now it seemed that he could do so much earlier.

Lynn discovered something: condensing the Earth Ring was more difficult than he had imagined.

It may take longer than expected.

Because after the first ten Earth Rings were successfully formed, the difficulty of forming the eleventh Earth Ring increased slightly.

It also takes more time.

If the difficulty of condensing every ten Earth Rings increases significantly, the time required for self-improvement will be even more exaggerated than before. To condense all the Earth Rings, based on the previous aptitude, it would take at least two years, and that's the best-case scenario.

But now that my aptitude has improved, as long as I can keep increasing my level, my aptitude will continue to improve. Although each improvement is small, it adds up over time. With long-term accumulation, my aptitude will only make my meditation efficiency continuously improve.

Of course, Lynn couldn't be sure that what affected meditation efficiency was necessarily aptitude, but that didn't stop him from mentally labeling it as "aptitude." After all, meditation could increase the upper limit of mental power, so even if it wasn't aptitude, it was still a good thing.

For the next two days, Lynn read books, meditated, and tried to comprehend the Sleeping Spell.

The efficiency of the Sleeping Spell has improved significantly; it now requires a total of 47 nodes.

Both meditation and constructing a skill framework require meticulous, gradual practice.

Lynn constructed skill nodes at a rate of one node per hour, dedicating three hours each day to this task.

Time passed slowly like this.

After the initial chaos of the first day, Old Kim realized that Lynn and his men didn't seem to intend to silence him.

He then drove the carriage with a more attentive attitude, and drove it more carefully and attentively, striving to deliver the two distinguished guests to their destination as soon as possible.

In Maple Leaf Town, a group of people arrived at a dilapidated hut on the mountain during the day.

Twelve fully armed knights, clad in iron armor, stood guard in the center of an elderly man wearing a brown linen robe, with a black beard but white hair.

The old man walked to the front of the hut, spread his hands, and took out a crystal ball from his pocket.

He spread his hands outstretched, and the crystal ball in his hands slowly rose into the air and floated in mid-air, detached from his palms.

As he muttered incantations and recited mysterious spells, the surface of the crystal ball in his hand began to glow faintly.

Then, a scene appeared inside the crystal ball.

Strangely, the scene inside the crystal ball was exactly the same as the small house in front of us, except that the scene inside the crystal ball was viewed from a high-altitude perspective.

It was as if the crystal ball had become the eye of some being, observing the cottage.

At the same time, the images inside the crystal ball began to move, changing from static to dynamic.

It simply increased efficiency countless times, like turning on fast forward mode.

The old man closed his eyes and kept muttering to himself.

As he muttered to himself, his originally gray hair gradually turned white.

Strands of silver hair on his head were covered with a layer of frost.

The two wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened and slowly turned into a third.

The scenery inside the crystal ball changed from daytime to nighttime, and then from nighttime back to daytime. Suddenly, three figures appeared in the courtyard.

The screen froze instantly, and the previously clear image inside the crystal ball became blurry, flickering and stuttering.

The figure appearing in the courtyard had a face as if covered by a layer of blurry mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Three people, it must have been these three who killed Matthew." Standing next to the old man, a knight with a bright red cloak tied behind him and silver armor gleaming in the sunlight rested his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Zoom in, and see clearly what they look like," the knight said.

The old man continued chanting, and the image inside the crystal ball gradually magnified.

Suddenly, the crystal ball floating in the air exploded with a bang.

The old man let out a short, sharp scream.

The mottled hair, which was originally half black and half white, turned completely white in an instant.

Shards of the shattered crystal ball pierced the old man's face, staining his entire face with red blood.

The old man then collapsed to the ground, immediately losing his life.

The knight watched this scene in silence for a moment, his fingers gripping the sword hilt trembling slightly.

"Stop the investigation. This matter ends here."
