There was a reason why the Mage Web's library was not popular. At the very least, they would start with a knife and a dog. But you guys, you want to recharge at the beginning, and even ask for bribes when you can't recharge. No wonder there wasn't even a ghost, and it looked like it was about to close down.
Tang Shidao suppressed his anger.
Soon, he signed a contract with the scarecrow. "Borrow one point of origin magic power to open the training ground, return two points of origin magic power after training. All equipment obtained during the training would belong to the debtor, all items picked up would belong to the debtor, and all treasures discovered would belong to the debtor. If you don't return two points of origin magic power after training, you'll pay four points of origin magic power next time. If you don't return it, you'll pay eight points of origin magic power next time. "
While signing, Tang Shidao thought about whether the scarecrow should be sliced raw or stir-fried with scallion oil.
In order to ensure that he passed.
Tang Shidao chose the simplest skeleton training ground. Before setting off, the scarecrow unexpectedly snorted. "Be careful not to die." Then, the scarecrow returned to its normal despicable self, ignoring everyone. Tang Shidao grunted. He knew that this was not a game, and people could really die. Ninety-nine percent of the people who passed the first level of the Mage Web died, and many died in the subsequent training. The scarecrow had countless clones, but it still had work to do. One could imagine how many "seed candidates" were online again.
With the talent spell Reincarnation in hand, Tang Shidao was not worried about death. Therefore, this unequal contract was risk-free. It could even be said that it gave him a chance.
He entered the training ground graveyard.
Before he started to prepare, skeletons had already crawled out from the ground. Tang Shidao didn't even think before throwing a fireball at the skeleton. Surprisingly, this fireball couldn't kill the skeleton. The main reason was that he didn't hit it well. The skeleton was hit in the chest, and half of it was broken. The other half was still crawling.
Tang Shidao kicked the skull of the skeleton away, and the bones immediately stopped moving.
No experience points.
No gold coins.
No weapons were dropped.
A cold wind blew, and Tang Shidao felt a chill … This was no longer the training ground of the Mage Web, this was the real world! Without any magical energy, Tang Shidao could only pick up a rock and throw it at another skeleton. Rocks smashed, bones shattered, there was no need for a fireball attack, the rocks on the ground could also kill a skeleton … This was indeed the real world that couldn't be any more real!
Of course, Tang Shidao ran away when he saw a group of skeletons charging at him.
It was a pity.
The entire Great Necropolis was vast, and skeletons could crawl out from every inch of the ground. In addition, Tang Shidao's physique was not very good. He was dog-tired after running for a few hundred meters while dodging the skeletons. Tang Shidao was carelessly pulled back by the skeletons, and in just a few moments, he was smashed to death by the skeletons who were holding his shin bone. The Arcane Energy Soul Form floated out. Tang Shidao immediately felt a call: Give up, die, return your innate spell to the Magus Net.
"Damned sister, reincarnated."
Tang Shidao waited for the skeletons to wander far away or return to the ground. Then, he used his innate spell to resurrect himself. His mana had not recovered yet, so he could only pick up a shin bone and use it as a weapon. Seeing the skeletons slowly crawling out one by one, Tang Shidao did not wait for all of them to come out before a fair duel. If they came out, the right way to go was to smash their heads … This was the rhythm of whack-a-mole.
A few minutes later, Tang Shidao died again.
After killing more than twenty skeletons without weapons, except for a pile of scattered bones, there was not a single gold coin, not a single experience, not a single piece of equipment. All the skeletons were clean, and there was not even a flea on them. Since this was the real world, Tang Shidao could understand. Things that could not be seen by the eyes definitely would not fall for no reason. This was not an online game.
Kill monsters, release fireballs, die.
The boring and uninteresting actions continued until the hundredth time of releasing fireballs. Tang Shidao felt that he was slightly different.
His raw mana was still 1 point, no change.
But there were faint signs of leveling up.
Tang Shidao, who was overwhelmed by a strange feeling, felt like crying. Damn it, it was ten times more difficult than the training in the real world. Releasing a hundred fireballs barely gave him some experience. How many times did it take to level up?
Resisting the idea of 'leaving the training ground', Tang Shidao continued to kill monsters.
Ten days later.
He was already used to fighting, and the skeletons could also fight a few alone. To be more exaggerated, as long as the skeletons crawled out of the ground, Tang Shidao could tell whether they were fat or thin when they were alive, whether they were a gentleman or a coquettish b * stard. With just a glance at the skeletons' heads, he could tell whether they were naturally beautiful or had plastic surgery. A few days later, Tang Shidao could basically tell from one of the bones whether this was an otaku or an office worker, a strong man or a beautiful woman.
If this went on, it would probably be enough to start filming the 'All Seeing Forensic Doctor'.
A thousand times.
After releasing a total of a thousand times, Tang Shidao felt that his maximum mana had increased by 1 point … Well, it was equivalent to half of what he owed.
He endured the boredom.
He waited for the recovery and released a thousand fireballs. This time, it did not increase at all! Tang Shidao had the urge to smash the computer, if there was a computer here. Realizing that the fireballs were difficult to increase and not powerful enough, Tang Shidao decided to transform into a Berserker. After so many days of fighting, he knew the level of the skeletons that only used their shins as weapons. If his movements were more agile, it would not be too difficult to knock off the skeletons' heads.
He did not use fireballs.
After violently smashing a hundred skeletons, Tang Shidao's maximum mana increased by 1 point.
He felt strange.
He continued to smash until he hit a thousand skeletons. His maximum mana increased by 1 point again to 4 points. Tang Shidao was speechless. There was no need to guess. The next time he wanted to increase it by 1 point, he would probably have to smash ten thousand skeletons. The broken bones in the graveyard would be reassembled, and there was no shortage of monsters to farm. However, the task of smashing ten thousand skeletons was too difficult. Tang Shidao gave up on such a stupid task. He calculated the current maximum of 4 points: 1 point was temporarily given by the Fire God's faith, 2 points were owed, and 1 point was only counted as his.
How sad!
After working so hard for so long, the scarecrow got 2 points of raw mana, and he only got 1 point.
Just as he was about to leave.
A skeleton wearing rags and holding a short staff emerged from the ground. When it saw Tang Shidao, the skeleton with the short staff shot a fireball at him without hesitation. After such a long battle, Tang Shidao was much more agile. He knew what the skeleton wanted to do as soon as it raised its hand. With 4 points of raw mana, Tang Shidao's 4 fireballs easily broke the skeleton's limbs.
The skeleton fell, and its mouth was still cracking.
Tang Shidao did not care what the other party was. He smashed it with his staff, peeled off its robe, and picked up the short staff. At this time, he found that the short staff was actually a weapon equipment. It came with 10 points of mana and fireball. What was even more surprising was that this guy even hid a book in his robe.
After signing the contract, Tang Shidao did not want to hide it.
Back in the big library.
"I don't want the shins. The robe is mine, the short staff is mine, and the 2 points of raw mana are mine. You can get lost. "The scarecrow was indeed a vampire. He did not care about feelings at all.
"You don't want the book?" Tang Shidao did not mind. The conditions were already stated in the contract.
"It's not in the contract."
"What's the content of this book?"
"Information about some alchemy experiment. You want to learn it?" The scarecrow's appraisal was free.
"I don't know anything about alchemy. So this thing is useless? "
"It can be sold for money."
"It can be sold for money?"
"This customer must be joking. Everything can be sold for money on the Mage Network. Do you want to be a slave? You can sell yourself. "The scarecrow was still asking for a beating.
"How much is it worth?" Tang Shidao was secretly happy when he heard that it could be sold for money.
"I'll try to publish it. As long as it's sold for more than 2 points, I'll charge 1 point. If it's sold for more than 10 points, I'll charge 2 points, which is one-fifth of the Helping Others fee. "The scarecrow was really happy to help others.
"Okay." Tang Shidao knew that the Mage Network was unreasonable.
The scarecrow took away the alchemy manual and published it through some unknown channel. He waved his hand and sent Tang Shidao to "read" the book. The books in the big library were all of the same type: magic goods! All of the magic books here could be bought and sold as long as you had money. Tang Shidao looked for a while. There were dozens of books, but he did not understand a single word. The scarecrow said again, "You can't understand these books before you buy them."
Tang Shidao resisted the urge to smash the scarecrow with his shin bone. He took out a "Healing Spell" book and put it on the table, waiting for the result.
After paying 2 points, he still had 2 points left.
The Healing Spell could be bought with 1 point, so Tang Shidao naturally would not miss it. The scarecrow looked at him as if he had chosen a lousy book. Tang Shidao smiled … There was a kind of "Healing Spell" on Earth Emperor Planet that could cure all diseases. All the patients in the world had to call him father.
"5 points. You're in luck." The scarecrow was neither surprised nor happy. It had seen countless unlucky people, but it had also seen countless lucky people. "I'll take 1 point."
"Okay. I'll buy this book and the Elementary Transfiguration Spell. "Tang Shidao nodded.
"Thank you for 2 points." The scarecrow had always been nice to people who had money to trade with. "Let me give you a word of advice. Elementary Transfiguration can't increase your strength. If you like close combat, I suggest you save some money before you choose. For example, Werewolf Transformation is worth 5 points. "
"Thank you for the advice. I know what to do." Tang Shidao just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
After facing skeletons for so long, he was almost suffering from "game allergies." At this time, Tang Shidao felt that compared to otakus, mages were the ultimate otakus. Was there a more homebody occupation than playing a single 'game' for a few months without stopping?
He left the Mage Network.
He woke up on the second day. He had obviously been fighting skeletons for a few months. He did not know how to calculate the time. Seeing that his roommates were still not awake, Tang Shidao rushed into the bathroom, closed the door, and carefully cast the Elementary Transfiguration Spell. In the blink of an eye, a two-meter-tall man with white hair and a youthful face appeared. Clenching his fists, Tang Shidao felt that his strength did not increase or decrease at all.
The Elementary Transfiguration Spell was really just for show. It did not increase its power at all.
"Taoist, did you die in there? Come out, my water tank is about to explode. " Outside the door, Tang Shidao's best friend Lei Dazhuang was roaring. He had a bad temper that said, "If you don't come out, I'll pee on your bed."
Tang Shidao changed back to his original form and walked out with a towel.
"Hey, you found some money last night. Why are you smiling like a bitch?" Lei Dazhuang did not close the door. He pulled down his pants to pee.
"I'm in a good mood, okay?"
Everything was difficult at the beginning.
Now, he had opened the door … At least he could survive on Earth Emperor Planet.
"You have no money, no girls, bad grades, and a weak body. Why are you in a good mood?"
"…"
Hearing such a reasonable retort, Tang Shidao was speechless for a moment.
"Did you see your beloved goddess?" Lei Dazhuang looked like a curious baby.
"Yes." Tang Shidao was also a person who scared himself when he talked nonsense.
"Taoist, listen to my advice." Lei Dazhuang patted Tang Shidao's shoulder and said seriously, "With your weak body, zero skills, and a wallet that can't even feed mosquitoes, you still want to date? Give up, young man. You can still afford inflatable ones. "
"I didn't say I'm going to pursue her."
"It's best that you didn't pursue her. Study hard and work hard to find a good job in the future. This way, you can at least give your beloved goddess some money. "Lei Dazhuang was very good at comforting people.
Really, he was not lying.
Therefore, his only friend was Tang Shidao.
"I'm going to train my body." Tang Shidao retreated in defeat. With the healing spell, he could start his crazy training plan.
"Go, go. Train hard. Otherwise, it will be awkward if you run out of energy halfway through the wedding. "Lei Dazhuang waved him off and went back to bed to catch up on sleep.
Tang Shidao was not hurt by the retort.
