Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

After unlocking the new magic contract, Jia Xiu began to allocate two attribute points.

A little added to perception.

This is to find out where the most important attributes of the spell can be adjusted, and upgrade them first.

Another point was not added to his intelligence, which was sufficient for the time being, but was added to his physique.

The body is the capital of scientific research, so it’s always a good idea to add some to it.

More importantly, you can unlock a talent after increasing your physique by +1.

[Constitution reaches level 5, unlocking "Energetic"]

[From now on, you only need 4 hours of sleep a day to stay energetic. When you need sleep, you can fall asleep quickly and steadily, and you have a certain immunity to hypnotic effects.]

Jia Xiu has been thinking about this magical skill for a long time.

He only slept 4 hours a day and was able to fall asleep quickly. He had only seen this ability in successful literature.

When he was in high school, sleeping 6 hours a day was enough for him to walk into telephone poles during the day. If he didn't sleep for ten hours a day, he couldn't stay awake at all.

This now means 6 more hours of research time per day, and an extra full day every 4 days, which is extremely useful.

Jia Xiu looked at the clock in the laboratory. Normally, he would go to bed in three hours, and he would start to feel sleepy at this time, but now he felt that he had plenty of time.

He left the laboratory, locked the door, and went straight to the association's library. As a level 3 official member of the association, he was finally eligible to borrow books.

The experience requirements for level 4 are much higher than before, and more spells worth researching are needed.

The library of the Spellcaster Association in Ximu Town is not big and does not have many collections. It has a total of eight bookshelves. It can be considered a library at most. Calling it a library is pure exaggeration.

Each bookshelf has a label with the level of the spell book written on it.

Half of them are 0-level tricks, two are 1-level spells, and the remaining two are 2-level and 3-level spells respectively, so the highest is 3-level.

Full of the atmosphere of a "newbie village".

However, for Jia Xiu, who had just reached level 3, this was enough.

According to the feedback from the detection technique, the research value of the spells here is roughly the same, so Jia Xiu chose according to his own interest.

"Primary Activation Technique, a relative of Healing Technique, can speed up metabolism and relieve fatigue. Take one."

"Acid Splash, fires a ball of acid, dealing corrosive damage and carrying away."

"Light, how can a spellcaster not know how to use Light? Come on."

"Dark vision, it seems to be quite useful..."

"Mage Armor..."

Jia Xiu was like a shark that was accidentally caught by a fishing boat, and all he could see on the boat was "food".

After a while, he came to the lending office with a stack of spell books, scaring the staff on duty.

"You're borrowing so much at once, can you finish studying?"

The staff member asked uncertainly. If Master Margaret had not asked the association to take care of Jia Xiu, he would have suspected that he was here to run away with the book.

"If you can't finish learning, just take it as a way to gain more knowledge."

Jia Xiu answered casually.

In fact, he was very confident that he could learn all of them. With the help of the Rune Eye, he could learn a new spell much faster than his ordinary spellcasters.

He could learn the magic that usually takes an apprentice two or three months to master in just a dozen days.

"Well, may the elements guide you."

As the staff member spoke, he stamped the magic seal on Jia Xiu's library card.

Holding the borrowed book, Jia Xiu was as excited as a player who had just bought a long-awaited new game. He ran back to the laboratory quickly, eager to "download the game" into his brain.

It's been quite busy during this period...

……

At this time, in the Lord's Mansion of Ximu Town.

In the room on the south side of the second floor, the heavy wooden door could not block out the shrill screams coming from inside.

"Ah - be gentle, ah! It hurts, it hurts, slowly, let me slowly first, do you have any wine..."

In the room, Hays was half lying on the bed, sweating profusely and breathing heavily. He picked up the bottle of wine and took a few big gulps, but it still did not ease the painful look on his face.

"Mr. Hays, are you ready?"

At his feet, there was a hunter holding a sharp knife.

As for why it was a hunter and not a doctor, it was because the best doctor in town had already been there.

There is no good way to deal with Hays's toenails, and the solution given is to pull them out completely.

This frightened Hays and he refused firmly.

Later, I went to see a priest, but the priest's healing blessing could only reduce the swelling of the toe, but could not solve the problem from the root. The toenail was still stuck there, and the swelling returned two hours after the treatment.

In desperation, he heard from a hunter who knew how to treat this disease.

Use a narrow-headed sharp knife to cut off the curved part of the toenail, and then fill the nail groove with cotton so that the newly grown toenails on both sides are padded with cotton and no longer get stuck deeply in the nail groove.

Although it still requires surgery, it sounds better than having the entire toenail removed.

"Ready."

Hays gritted his teeth and kept mentally preparing himself.

You're a tough guy, you're a tough guy...

"Then I'll cut it."

The hunter exerted force with his knife-holding hand.

"Oh, Mom..."

Hayes howled at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with tears.

A few minutes later.

The hunter put away his sharp knife, and successfully removed several hook-like toenails stained with pus and blood.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency. The treatment was very successful... Your Excellency Hayes!"

I saw Hayes lying on the bed with his neck tilted, his eyes dull and empty, and his shirt soaked.

He seemed to be in good condition, but in fact he had been unconscious for a while.

After ten minutes, Hayes's eyes finally focused.

He waved his hand and called over his most trusted personal servant.

"Contact the cultists outside of town and have them kidnap Jia Xiu. Either as a sacrifice or as a test subject, I have only one request."

Hays gnashed his teeth and said, "I want him dead!"

Chapter 6 Jia Xiu Discovers the Big Fish

Have you ever seen the sun at 4 a.m. in Riverwood?

Jia Xiu said responsibly.

He hasn't seen it.

The sun doesn't rise in Ximu Town until 4 a.m.

There wasn't even a complete world map in the town, perhaps because the great geographical discoveries had not yet been completed in that era.

In short, there is only a map of the Iris Kingdom hanging outside the lord's mansion, and it is impossible to tell where it is located in this world.

However, based on my life experience in recent years, the climate is warm and humid, I have never seen snow, and the sunrise and sunset times do not fluctuate much throughout the year.

The latitude should not be high.

Useless little knowledge has increased.

Unfortunately, this little knowledge does not correspond to algorithmic research, so I cannot learn any experience from the sect leader.

After this period of hard work, he successfully completed several more studies.

Experience reaches 1100/2700.

Most of them are spell modifications that have no serious use.

There were even some research failures, such as dark vision. Although the dark vision he now mastered allowed people to see clearly in the dark, it would cause them to be unable to see in illuminated conditions.

The time he used it on himself, everything was flashing white the entire day.

I could only lock myself in the laboratory, without lighting a fluorescent crystal, and pretend to be a vampire for a whole day.

However, there are also promising studies.

He came up with a whole new version of the healing technique, inspired by long toenails.

Toenails are made of protein, and so is hair. If toenails can grow, why can't hair grow?

Thus, the primary hair growth healing technique was born.

Although the hair growth effect is far inferior to that of a dedicated spell, the magic power consumed is less than one percent of that of a dedicated spell, so ordinary people can afford it.

Jia Xiu has high hopes for this spell. Even if it doesn't make him financially independent, he must at least make a fortune from it.

However, no one has ever been seen as bald in Ximu Town, so hair growth technology is not very popular.

But he was not worried. According to his plan, he was going to be admitted to the Saint Delo Spellcaster Academy.

Sanderro is located in Larven, the city of all magic, where the best spellcasters gather and the association's headquarters is located. There are 42 magic colleges and countless wizard towers in this city alone.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of apprentices from all over the world who dream of pursuing the truth of magic arrive there to take the examinations of various academies, but less than one in ten can pass.

There's a saying circulating in the Iris Kingdom: "In Larven, even street vendors have spells more powerful than the wizards in ordinary adventure groups."

In other words, such a big city is full of people doing scientific research and studying law.

Are you still worried about no one losing their hair?
