The next morning, Ming Xu recovered from his serious injuries. This was the first time they had seen the wonders of magic, and both of them were amazed. This was especially true for Li Xiang. So far, he had only seen the so-called magic twice when he fought with Mo Hai and when Wang Zhongyue piloted the airship. This was an extraordinary power that was different from anything he had seen in his previous life.
Be it steam technology or mechanical technology, they were all within his scope of understanding. Only magic was a completely supernatural power, and it was also the knowledge that Li Xiang yearned for the most other than firearms.
"Why, do you feel that magic is very magical?" Yu Yi smiled as he looked at Li Xiang and Ming Xu. "I can understand how you feel. When I first saw magic, my reaction was much better than yours! Ever since we were young, we've been educated to work hard to become a player. Unfortunately, players are too distant for us. Even a university student like me rarely sees a real player. However, Magicians and Magic Apprentices aren't that far away. "
Yu Yi sighed emotionally and gestured for the two of them to sit in front of him, ready to begin the formal lesson.
"Becoming a real magic apprentice means that you can touch the edge of another world, and the first key to opening this world is magic!" Yu Yi spread out a piece of white paper on the table and took out a fountain pen to write. "Now that I've said this, you should have some doubts."
"Yes." Ming Xu nodded. Even people from Dong Ling's family could not come into contact with real magic without reaching a certain level of strength, let alone peek at the magic passed down in the family. However, she had been waiting for this day for a very, very long time. At this moment, sitting beside Li Xiang, even he could feel the faint restlessness.
"Li Xiang, tell us."
"What is magic? How do I learn magic? What are the prerequisites for learning magic?" Li Xiang answered without thinking. After getting to know Wang Zhongyue, he also knew that magic did not have to be a magic apprentice to learn. It depended on the magic circuit awakened and various constraints.
"That's right! These were the three basic problems of magic. Because I don't know how much you know about it, I'm too lazy to ask. I'll explain it to you from the beginning. Just once, remember it. "Yu Yi began to write rapidly on the white paper.
"First, understand the first concept, Magic Apprentice. Apart from meeting the standards for the three basic skills, only those who had mastered at least one magic spell were qualified to be called a Magic Apprentice. Only then would they be able to pass the official Magic Apprentice examination! In fact, there are quite a few people in the university who haven't been able to learn any magic even after graduation. Therefore, even if their three basic skills reach the standard of a level-3 Magic Apprentice, they still can't become a true Magic Apprentice. "
Yu Yi wrote the words "Magic Apprentice" on the white paper and circled them with thick strokes.
"And the prerequisite for learning magic is that at least one magic circuit you have awakened has reached the level of materialization, but this is not absolute. There is a kind of general magic that can be learned without having to open up a magic circuit."
Li Xiang understood. At that time, the magic that Wang Chongyue used was general magic. She herself hadn't become a true Magic Apprentice, so it could be seen that this kind of magic wasn't within the scope of the examination.
"Then, what is magic." Yu Yi was actually very bad at explaining, but since he agreed to be the teacher of the Serpent Team, he could only brace himself and recall the teaching methods of the university teachers.
He wrote the word "magic" on the white paper again.
"You know the three major professions of the players."
"Magician, Assassin, Guardian." Li Xiang followed.
"That's right. In fact, the steam characters and magic that you are familiar with all came from the great magicians." Speaking of this, Yu Yi's face was full of envy, and he wrote the word "magician" heavily on the white paper. "Not only were they players with super strong combat power, but they were also the wise ones among the players. They created a lot of convenient things. The so-called magic is actually a low-level universal magic that they created for magicians and Magic Apprentices. "
"A low-level version of magic?" Li Xiang asked in surprise. Yu Yi nodded heavily.
"That's right. Therefore, magic is similar to magic in some ways. There are a total of six types of magic: Attack, Strengthening, Auxiliary, General, Summoning, and Mystical. Magic chose three types: Strengthening, Auxiliary, and General. In addition, there is a more special family inherited magic. This is the origin of magic. As for how to learn it … "
Yu Yi paused. He felt that the energy he used to teach was much more than the university's examination. He really wasn't suitable for this kind of teaching. He shouldn't have been greedy for the resources that Polar night gave him back then.
"Magic scrolls, the magic circuits needed to connect them, large amounts of Source Gas, and magic resonance stones." Yu Yi wrote one by one on the white paper, and then explained them one by one. "First, you have to understand what magic there is, which ones are suitable for your fighting style, and which ones you can learn. Second, you have to find a way to obtain the magic scroll for this magic. You should know that if you want to learn a magic, you can only learn it through this magic scroll or the magician who created this magic. The second way is basically impossible. Third, you have to stockpile the required large amounts of Source Gas and a corresponding magic resonance stone."
"Magic resonance stone?" Li Xiang could understand Source Gas. It was just like in the novels that cultivators needed resources like Spirit Qi, but what was this magic resonance stone?
"That's right. To put it simply, magic was created by the magician who created it. If you want to learn it, you have to get his permission. Most magicians will make many magic resonance stones for this. Every time you use one, you can try to learn it once. To buy a magic resonance stone, you can only use the official channels to transfer money to the magician's account. Now you understand, this huge amount of resources is not something that an ordinary person can afford. A magic resonance stone costs at least a thousand standard tubes of Source Gas. " Yu Yi said seriously, "Even if you learn the magic, you can't teach it to others. The magic scroll will disappear after one use."
A thousand standard tubes!
The market price of a standard tube of Source Gas was about a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins. Wouldn't a thousand standard tubes be a hundred million?!
Back then, Fei Yujing's family only had a few billion in assets, and most of them were fixed assets that couldn't be sold in a short period of time. The operating funds were estimated to be a hundred million.
This was why they could only buy a magic resonance stone! If they failed to learn it, wouldn't that be …
Seeing the change in Li Xiang's expression, Yu Yi laughed and said calmly, "Do you understand now? I believe the instructors have already said during the Polar night training that resources are the most important thing in the future. No matter how talented you are, if you can't get enough Source Gas, it's all empty talk. During university, other than completing your studies, all you have to do is to go out and perform missions like me to obtain GPA in exchange for resources to ensure your magic studies. Do you understand why so many people can't become real magic apprentices after graduation? "
"It's a snowball. This is a snowball that starts from your family background. " Li Xiang nodded. It was no wonder that the Unified Admission Test had made countless parents nervous to the extreme, and those children from big families like Fei Yujing had already begun to pave the way for their future studies.
Family resources, university, and one's own talent were all indispensable, and as long as they passed the basic checkpoint of the Magic Circuit Test, the first dilemma in front of everyone was the high learning cost!
At that time, children from big families would show a terrifying advantage and widen the gap between them and commoners like him. This was also why the trainees who survived the Polar night training were still grinning from ear to ear even though they couldn't participate in the second phase.
They proved themselves during the Polar night, which meant that they would be favored by influential forces, and their future path in university studies would be much wider.
As for players, it was too far away. It was already so difficult to obtain the qualifications, not to mention that there were hundreds of player universities on the seven continents, and millions of new students with player qualifications were recruited every year. How many of them could actually walk out of the university and become players?
Compared to this illusory pursuit, perhaps a clear position was more appropriate. For example, after having enough resources to become a powerful magic apprentice or even a magician, one could also call the wind and summon the rain in many places.
Li Xiang took a few deep breaths and looked at Ming Xu beside him. The girl's eyes were unusually firm, and like him, she vowed to walk down this path without regret.
He didn't know why she was doing this. He himself wanted to be able to bring his sister back from the Bai family one day, or at least have the ability to stand in front of her. But at this moment, Ming Xu exuded a conviction that was no weaker than his own. Perhaps it was just as Yu Yi said — for a long time to come, the two of them might be companions for a very, very long time.
"Haha, scared?" Yu Yi turned the white paper over and laughed at their expressions. Looking at them, he could always think of himself when he first entered the Polar night. He and Li Xiang had similar backgrounds — commoner origins, failed the unified admission exam, and were ready to fight to the death in the Polar night.
In fact, his talent wasn't high. Step by step, he relied on luck and strength, and more on his determination to become a player!
He believed that conviction was the thing that could truly change a person.
If the two of them didn't even have this conviction, then they wouldn't have been able to pass the most difficult Twelve Zodiac Training Program.
"A little, but I'm more curious about the next training." Li Xiang smiled slightly, and Ming Xu also nodded.
Seeing that the two of them weren't affected at all, Yu Yi smiled with relief and said to them, "Very good, I just mentioned the prerequisites for learning magic. So what you have to do now is to first find a way to connect at least one magic circuit. I know it's difficult, and many people can't achieve this goal in university, but you're different. You're in the Polar night, and to become a Polar night person, you must have this awareness! "
