Chapter 110 Water Cannon Spell, Affinity Increase
"Banshee Breakthrough Potion." Angko's eyes widened in ecstasy upon seeing the envelope, and he waved his hands frantically. "This must be mine! Anyone who dares to stop me will die!"
Back at the manor, Lin Wei sat in a comfortable chair, waiting for the points to be credited to his account. He had already handed over the small boat, and the organization's statisticians would exchange points based on the weight of the sea creatures' flesh and blood. There were also some extra materials, which Lin Wei had also had calculated.
Not long after, the points were credited to my account.
"Over 400 points! My ability to earn points on my own is unmatched by anyone else." Lin Wei grinned, his eyes full of pride. Sure enough, going out to sea alone is the most efficient.
"I'll digest this for a while, then I can learn some basic witchcraft. I have enough points to buy a whole set of witchcraft courses," Lin Wei chuckled to himself, his fingers lightly tapping the table.
"I have 299 elemental factors, which means I can cast several times more spells than other wizard apprentices of the same level." Lin Wei paused. "To put it simply, witchcraft is about releasing elemental factors using specific models, which is much more powerful than a wizard blindly throwing them out. Unless you invent something even more powerful, like the Tower Master."
The following week, Lin Wei enrolled in a course that specifically taught witchcraft called Water Cannon. It was the most expensive witchcraft that wizard apprentices at Turing Tower could learn, costing 200 points. Many first-class wizard apprentices were learning it, and its power was considerable.
Second-class wizard apprentices usually learn the Bubble spell, which is cheap and easy to learn. However, Lin Wei chose the more difficult and expensive Water Cannon spell in order to maximize his strength.
When Lin Wei finished class, he ran into Bondi, the first-class wizard apprentice he had met on his first voyage. Bondi was a professor of potionology. He was wearing a clean and tidy robe and had a kind smile on his face.
"Hey, junior brother, come and take the pharmacist course sometime. I won't charge you any points." Bondi, who had met him once before, patted Lin Wei on the shoulder with a smile, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
"Hey, Bondi." Lin Wei was walking on the path leading to the dormitory when he heard the occasional chirping of insects coming from the grass beside the road. He realized who it was, stopped, turned slightly to the side, and nodded, saying, "No problem, I will definitely come to learn."
After Tower Master Robert helped him earlier, he also gave him a recovery potion. The recovery effect was indeed quite good, quickly replenishing his combat strength. Lin Wei recalled the potion, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, as if he was still savoring the wonderful recovery feeling.
"But junior brother, your name is on the Challenge Cup list. You're the only second-class wizard apprentice," Bondi said with a playful smile, his arms crossed.
"It seems everyone knows about this." Lin Wei smiled wryly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed the pressure.
The two chatted for a while longer before parting ways. Bondi waved and turned to walk in another direction, while Lin Wei stood there, watching Bondi's retreating figure, and let out a long sigh.
Lin Wei felt a lot of pressure, but thankfully he had a few years to develop. He scratched his head, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly walked towards his yard.
Back in the courtyard, which was somewhat messy with a few withered leaves scattered on the ground, he took out the course on water cannon techniques. The papers fluttered gently in the breeze as he began to study them carefully.
"This water cannon spell requires 50 elemental factors to construct, 20 of which are lost during construction. The remaining 30 become the water cannon, which is then pulled by the wizard to attack the opponent." Lin Wei muttered as he gestured with his finger on the paper. "The loss is quite significant, but the instructor said that if one has excellent talent, the loss required for casting the spell can be reduced."
"The attrition of this magic is a major problem in the wizarding world, and many famous wizards and scholars have been unable to solve it." Lin Wei rested his chin on his hand, his brows furrowed, and continued, "It's a bit like the friction on Earth; it dissipates the work done, and energy is not conserved."
"I wonder if I can solve the deep blue face of my Rubik's Cube. I can use that to gain experience points." Lin Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to think, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
"Forget it, let's record it first. But 50 water element factors are a huge expense. Other newly promoted second-level wizard apprentices can only use them twice at most. I have 300 in reserve, so I can use them at least six times." Lin Wei grinned, a confident expression on his face.
For the next two months, Lin Wei stayed in the courtyard, where the stone benches were piled high with materials on water cannon magic. He diligently began studying the "Water Cannon Magic" manual, which he had purchased at great expense. Sometimes he would frown in thought, sometimes he would write furiously, and sometimes he would stand up and wave his wand to simulate casting spells.
Finally, one night, the courtyard was very quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence. Lin Wei's wand suddenly trembled, and a water cannon more than two meters wide was generated at the tip of the wand, shooting towards the target in the courtyard. A small patch of blue water elemental particles emanated from around the wand.
boom!
The training target Lin Wei used for his physical training was instantly destroyed, the water cannon shot directly into the sky, and then slowly disappeared. Splinters of broken wood from the target flew through the air. Lin Wei stared at this scene, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly agape.
At the same time, the deep blue face of the Rubik's Cube successfully recorded the water cannon technique.
Water Cannon: Tier 1 (0/500)
"This power is much greater than the damage I caused with my previous knightly techniques. It truly deserves to be the best witchcraft a wizard apprentice can learn." Lin Wei muttered to himself, looking in the direction where the water cannon disappeared, his eyes full of excitement.
"The only problem is that it consumes a lot of energy when used. I feel like many elemental factors dissipate when it's released, but there's nothing I can do about it." Lin Wei shook his head, sighed helplessly, and continued, "However, my cultivation speed in the organization has been very slow these past two months. But Little Water Arrow can break through again, so I'll focus on grinding experience points for now."
"To break through from a second-class wizard apprentice to a first-class wizard apprentice, you need 1000 elemental factors in your brain. To break through to the wizard level, you need 10000." Lin Wei smiled wryly and spread his hands. "At my current speed, it would take me forever to cultivate."
"Especially the Small Water Arrow Technique, which can increase affinity with water elements. I'll go out to sea again in a while to acquire more knowledge points." Lin Wei looked at the few elemental factors that appeared during his meditation practice, feeling somewhat uninterested. His brows furrowed even more as he continued to grind.
Another two weeks have passed.
