Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

"Ah, here, hey—"

"boom!"

A book that weighed several kilograms, with a leather cover, a metal lock, and a hardcover gold-plated edge, was placed heavily on the table.

"The experimental instruction manual. If you don't understand something, look in this. It's all in there. If there's anything that's not written here, the association has a communication crystal ball. Use that to leave me a message."

Because Margaret was only on a business trip to Ximu Town and had to return to St. Delo College after the award ceremony, she could only provide remote guidance to Jia Xiu.

"Hey, why are you so stunned? It's not that difficult. This book just looks thick, but most of the content is actually useless."

Seeing that Jia Xiu was a little dazed, Margaret thought he was frightened by the big book.

"I just feel that this magic laboratory is not quite what I imagined."

Jia Xiu replied.

He was not intimidated by the thickness of the instruction manual; instead, he found it familiar.

What is the best textbook for learning a programming language?

Of course, its official documentation.

He now increasingly feels that studying magic is actually an engineering discipline.

"So what do you imagine a magic laboratory to be like? A crazy wizard in a big robe and a pointed hat, stirring a huge vat while chanting magical spells amidst a pile of strange materials and pungent smells?"

Jia Xiu nodded vigorously.

The wizards he had heard about in the bards' tales were all like this.

"Haha, that was a long time ago," Margaret explained, "During the last Demon War, because the mages participating in the war were not of the same standard and liked to conceal key knowledge from each other, a lot of unnecessary losses were caused.

"After the war, the Spellcaster Association began promoting the standardization of spells. This is how magic experiments became what they are today. Not to mention the significant increase in efficiency, there are far fewer spellcasters blowing themselves up in the lab now."

"Sounds like a good thing."

"Of course it's a good thing. Except for a few old-timers, the vast majority of association members support it. Well, it's almost time, I have to go. Work hard. I'll send you the exam materials in a few days. If you don't pass, I'll charge you for this lab."

Margaret said half-jokingly.

"Um, ahem, mentor..."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jia Xiu suddenly said a little embarrassedly.

"what happened?"

"That's the unwanted ring you found earlier. Do you remember who it belongs to now?"

Jia Xiu was referring to the rare ring that was originally used to cheat in duels.

In the end, the duel was useless and Hannah was weaker than expected.

The ring is still with Jia Xiu, and Margaret didn't say she wanted to take it back. A magic item of this level is a bit too valuable for Jia Xiu now.

Margaret acted unconcerned when she heard what Jia Xiu said.

"If I say no one wants it, then no one wants it. You can keep it."

The tone of his voice seemed as if the ring was worthless.

"Thank you, instructor."

"Goodbye." Margaret waved her hand and disappeared at the door with a teleportation.

Jia Xiu looked at the ring in his hand.

Since he didn't take it seriously, it seemed that this mentor was even richer than he imagined.

After seeing his mentor off, Jia Xiu deposited one thousand crowns into the association's safe. This amount was a huge sum of money in Ximu Town, and it was not safe for him to keep it in his own pocket.

He didn't rest for the whole day and went straight into the laboratory.

There is also a study on the primary cure for paronychia that has not been submitted yet.

With the "friendly help" of Hays, he was able to complete the experiment.

Jia Xiu summarized and recorded the experimental results in detail.

【Complete a study on the 0-ring trick】

……

Jia Xiu waited excitedly, he felt that this research should be able to refresh his highest score.

However, the scoring this time seemed to be slower than before. Usually, there was no delay and the score was settled instantly, but this time it was stuck for several minutes.

What’s going on? Is it that my new research is so groundbreaking that it’s difficult to evaluate it right now?

After waiting for a few more minutes, the review slowly appeared.

【选题1分/创新性3分/工作量1分/研究水平1分/影响力1分】

[Comment: The master should be compensated for the mental damage caused by reading this research.]

[Reward: 70 Experience Points]

What do you mean?

Seeing the evaluation given, Jia Xiu was quite dissatisfied.

What the hell is mental damage compensation? Isn't it a very promising research to use primary healing techniques to deal with injuries?

But considering the 70 experience points it gave me, I endured it.

The reward is credited and another prompt pops up.

[Upgrade, Warlock LV.2 → LV.3]

[Current Experience: 960/2700]

The difficulty of upgrading suddenly increased a lot.

[Gain attribute points +2]

[Obtained spell: Detection, a passive skill that automatically detects valuable research targets within a 15-meter radius]

[Obtain spell: Teleport Anchor Point, which can mark a location as an anchor point. Within a 120km radius of the anchor point, use the spell to instantly teleport to the anchor point. It is recommended to mark the laboratory, as the laboratory is your permanent home.]

Jia Xiu's eyelids twitched.

This sect leader is not a serious one. He just gave me the magic, but why did he act so weird?

The pop-up prompts are not over yet, the rewards for this upgrade are unexpectedly rich.

[Unlock Gift: Magical Blessing, you can choose one of the following contract items;]

[Chain of Magical Contract: Obtain a magical pet that can perform simple actions and assist in combat]

[Blade of Magic: Obtain a magic weapon with special enchantment properties]

[Book of Magic Contract: Obtain a magic book that can record existing or new spells, and perform simple automatic error correction and supplementation on the rune composition.]

Chapter 5 Jia Xiu had never fought such a rich battle

Jia Xiu looked at the three magic contracts.

The first two seem normal, magical pets and magic weapons, which should directly improve combat capabilities.

But his primary goal now is not to fight.

Moreover, he doesn't know how to use weapons, such as swords, guns, sticks, etc., and he doesn't know any techniques.

As for magical pets, he has no hobby of raising pets, or to be more precise, no hobby of raising real pets. However, he has installed desktop pets on his computer while at work and even modified the programs himself. It is quite interesting to interact with them while slacking off.

Therefore, for Jia Xiu, the only option he could choose was the last magic book.

But this is the magic contract of the book.

"Automatically correct and supplement rune composition."

Is this right?

In my impression, the Book of Magic Contract should be a magic book that can record and use spells of other professions.

This modified version is only useful for spellcasters who spend all day thinking about how to modify spells.

Coincidentally, that was Jia Xiu.

【Select the Magic Contract of Book】

【confirm】

The moment he confirmed his choice, a hexagram array outlined by magic appeared in front of Jia Xiu. Silver-white flames rose, and the flying pages of the book condensed in the flames, as if reversing the burning process of a book.

After a few seconds, the flames died down and a solid book fell into his hands.

Jia Xiu took a look at the magic book. It looked very simple and not as sophisticated as the experimental instruction manual.

But the value of a book is not determined by its cover.

He opened the book and found a spell recorded on it to summon the book and clear the other contents in the book.

It also notes the enchantment of this book. Non-contractors cannot use the unique functions of this book. This book will be automatically destroyed one day after being separated from the contractor. This book can be summoned again one day after being destroyed.

It can be said that it is very thoughtful.

Jia Xiu decided to test the main functions first.

As soon as he wrote down the runes for elementary healing, he immediately noticed the difference in the book.

As soon as the rune was half drawn, the book recognized which runes it might be and provided optional auto-completion.

And when he deliberately draws a rune incorrectly, he will immediately mark the wrong rune in red.

It’s so convenient, so convenient that Jia Xiu was a little touched.

This is not a magic book, it is an editor and debugger.

In the past, when there was an error in spell modification, in order to figure out where the problem was in the step from code to rune, I would often spend a whole day with a cup of tea and no cigarettes to investigate one bug.

There is no other way except to watch it hard.

Now Jia Xiu has figured out the upgrade path for this unconventional sorcerer.

I guess after upgrading, I can put together a complete set of integrated development environment tools.
