Giant power, cleansing, light, displacement... they are all common zero-level spells. They have the simplest spell configuration. Over thousands of years, they have been improved by magicians of all generations, and they have been simplified to the point where they can no longer be streamlined.
Compared to the spell configuration on the game helmet, it is not even a bit easier. Therefore, most students should be able to master it after a long period of practice and memorization.
After all, the people standing here are all 'geniuses' who have the talent to cast spells. Judging from China's huge population base and strong execution ability, it is a rare thing that they can't learn it.
However, no matter how many zero-level spells you master, you cannot become a magician.
Spell casters are not only craftsmen who memorize and copy the spells, but also "scientists" who make improvements, inventions, and creations.
Mastering two or more zero-level spells only proves that they have the qualifications to become real spellcasters, and the next step is the real test.
After checking the course work of all apprentices, he did not say a word whether it was done well or not.
He took out a few thick parchment books and placed them gently on the coffee table in front of him. His eyes passed over the faces that looked forward to, excited, or expectant, and he pondered.
These are the basic theoretical knowledge of magic that he translated.
One is [Basic Introduction to Magic], one is [A Brief Analysis of Spell Construction], one is [On the Relationship between Spiritual Power, Elemental Elves and Magic Power], and the last one is [How to Improve and Create Your Own Spell Construction].
type.】
As mentioned before, the memory of magic is the generation of spell slots. The memory of two or more zero-level spells means that they already have their own spell slots.
Having spell slots is not enough, because they also have the ability to 'alter'. They have only achieved 'knowing what is happening' but not 'knowing why it is happening'. Now they have to make up for this most important shortcoming.
Entering this stage is the beginning of an apprenticeship, and those before are just tickets.
"you!"
Bei Gaoyang pointed at Ding Jian, "Take it and copy it, one copy for each person."
Ding Jian hurriedly came up and carefully picked up several thread-bound parchment books.
"The homework for the second lesson is to improve the spell configurations you have mastered. If you don't understand anything, just read the book. That's it, get on with it!"
Just this, just this...
The apprentices are confused. Improvement, what kind of improvement method, you should explain it clearly!
"Guide, mentor, what is improvement?"
It was Ding Jian who mustered up the courage to ask a question for everyone.
"casual!"
"ah?"
"Go down, don't you see the guest has been waiting for a long time?"
Bei Gaoyang is an incompetent teacher. He does not follow the instructions and does not even provide basic explanations of doubts. His teaching attitude is terrible.
To say that he doesn't care, seeing as how much he paid to create such a demonic environment, and it's not like he is so full that he has nothing to do, to say that he does care, it's like this again...
contradiction?
Indeed!
The contradiction comes from the wavering and ambiguity in his positioning of the earth.
In the past, it was treated as a rear area, a supplier of human resources and material resources. This positioning was very simple, so it was very detached.
But the establishment of a demonic environment and the emergence of magic apprentices have broken this positioning. It seems that he can do more, but what good does being able to do more do him?
Bei Gaoyang would not naively believe that with magic power, the earth could be transformed into another Canaan. In just a short time, a phenomenon of 'magic resistance' has appeared. In the future, there will be many more phenomena similar to 'magic resistance'.
, this is determined by the rules of the earth, magic is just an external variable, combined with the constants and variables of this world, who knows what it will become.
Uncertain about the future and unable to grasp the future development context, what is the purpose of putting so much effort into building this magical environment and training these magic apprentices?
For testing purposes.
Magicians are always dealing with various experiments, researching and trying magic in a new environment. This is what it should be, and any spellcaster in the same position will do so.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the spread of magic knowledge, magic materials and spell configurations are all based on this consideration. I want to see what kind of sparks will be produced by the combination and collision of science and magic.
For some thoughts that are hard to express.
This thought includes not only longing for the hometown of the soul and wanting to do something for it, but also wanting to make it more adaptable to itself, introducing water so that it can swim and breathe. This is completely instinctive.
But this does not mean that he wants to disrupt this stable rear area and deviate from its originally well-run trajectory and slide it onto a route that no one can predict.
After all, the core of his interests is still in Canaan!
It is this contradictory mentality that determines his attitude towards these apprentices, which is both expectation, rejection and suspicion.
After sending away the confused apprentices, Bei Gaoyang showed a smile on his face and said hello to Yu Qingdong, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Xiao Yu, come on, come on, come on, sit down, sit down and say"
"Dong, Chairman!"
Still the same as before, Bei Gaoyang turned a blind eye to the others who followed Yu Qingdong, and greeted Mr. Yu very cordially to sit opposite him.
Those apprentices just now did not receive this kind of treatment, and Yu Qingdong and others all saw it.
The shock and horror of seeing the magic being performed with my own eyes has not yet passed.
Yu Qingdong was much more reserved than before, and he began to review as soon as he sat down, "I'm sorry, Chairman, we didn't do a good job with the artificial intelligence program. We will definitely review it deeply and we will completely prevent anything like this from happening again..."
"
Bei Gaoyang listened with a smile. When he finished speaking, he started talking about other things, "How is the offline feedback from tourists online?"
"Uh...very good, a lot of praise, saying that Canaan has solved a major social problem."
"Ah, what's the problem?"
"Retirement care"
Bei Gaoyang was stunned for a moment before he realized that the other party was joking, and he laughed in a dignified manner, "Retirement, haha... Are you praising us or mocking us?"
Yu Qingdong was very serious, and he caught the reactions of his colleagues with the corner of his eyes. Although they didn't show anything strange, they could still tell from some subtle body movements that this joke was more than just a joke. The chairman was giving up face.
He felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, his insides and outside were clear, and his scalp was numb.
The more comfortable I feel in my heart, the more serious my face becomes, like a talk show actor who performs his duties conscientiously.
"Of course they are praising us. Now even street sweepers say they want to go to Canaan to do sanitation work. They also use this as a condition to make demands to the sanitation bureau. They demand too high wages and benefits, otherwise they will not work."
"real?"
"Of course, we don't know how many jobs and business opportunities we have created directly and indirectly in Canaan. This is a comrade from the Bureau of Statistics. He told me that this year's unemployment rate has hit a record low, and various economic development indicators
A good explosion will realize the four modernizations ahead of schedule, and we in Canaan have done it on our own."
"Oh?" Bei Gaoyang then looked at the man with glasses sitting next to him.
The man with glasses was excited, showing an enthusiastic and slightly flattering smile, "What Mr. Yu said is true, Chairman, if you are interested, I can make a detailed report."
"Forget it, forget it, why do I, an outsider, care about this? Haha, but this is a good thing and worth celebrating."
"How about... a drink?" Yu Dazui suggested.
"Then have a drink!"
Several people stood up subconsciously, not knowing where the wine was placed. Bei Gaoyang snapped his fingers, and Xiao Qi moved a bottle of "Dragon Blood Wine" produced in Canaan and several cups over.
"Taste how the wine I brought back tastes."
Bei Gaoyang greeted him enthusiastically, then unscrewed the palm-sized wine bottle, poured only a shallow layer into a cup, and explained: "This thing is very powerful, you can't stand it if it's too much, isn't it?"
I'm stingy."
"Dong, Chairman, this, this is..."
"Dragon blood wine"
"Dragon, dragon, dragon what?"
"It's just a big lizard, come on, have a taste, have a taste!"
If it were another person and another situation, who on earth would think that the glass was filled with wine? It was clearly 'magma'.
The wine liquid is very viscous and 'boils' in the cup, boiling out rich and bright red 'steam'. This 'steam' still condenses and condenses on the rim of the cup, forming a swimming, miniature dragon-shaped phantom.
This phantom kept hovering around the narrow space at the mouth of the cup, and then there was a "dragon roar" that seemed to be an auditory hallucination...
Bei Gaoyang finished the drink in one gulp, smacked his tongue, and tasted it, "It's okay, it's old enough... Why don't you drink it, try it, try it!"
Yu Qingdong was completely stunned. Sure enough, he couldn't get carried away.
He can't wait to give himself a slap in the face and make you drink so much that you drink as much as you want. Is this going to cause trouble?
"Then try it. Thank you, Chairman, for your warm hospitality."
A middle-aged man sitting at the back said that he had a determined look on his face and an upright waist. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp with heroic heroism and a spirit of sacrifice.
Yu Qingdong could clearly see that as the wine poured into the room, it turned into a red light that could be seen clearly from the outside. It penetrated the flesh and skin and reflected the outline of the internal organs of the person.
It slides down from the throat, enters the stomach, and then separates into dense red filaments, which spread to various parts of the body in a flash.
"How's it going? Does it taste good?"
The man's face turned red and he was sweating profusely. After trembling a few times, he suddenly shouted: "Okay, okay, good wine!"
"Haha..." Bei Gaoyang clapped his hands and laughed, as happy as a child, and then looked at the rest of the people with expectant eyes.
Yu Qingdong felt like he was stabbed in the back. He gritted his teeth, picked up the wine glass, endured the trembling, and drank without daring to look.
It was like drinking lava as soon as I drank it. The scalding wine had an unbearable temperature. Just when I was about to scream, the hotness that did not cause any discomfort turned into a refreshing coolness that flowed down my throat.
Next, he shivered several times in a row, and then felt a "pleasure" that he had never experienced before. This "pleasure" came from his body, from every organ in the body, and from every cell, cheering like nectar after a long drought.
What does it taste like?
Yu Qingdong licked his cheek, still not satisfied.
"How about it?"
"Uh... so special!"
"Haha, not everyone in our place can drink this. It's very precious."
Yu Qingdong was stabbed in the back again. At this time, his brain reacted extremely quickly and he was sober as never before. This kind of sobriety was unprecedented. It was like, it was like... I can't describe it accurately. He was completely transformed: "Yes.
Are the brewing materials precious? Dragon, dragon blood?"
"Well, this is just one aspect. Creatures like dragons have extremely high intelligence and magic-like powers that naturally awaken over time. Their blood contains abundant magic power. Under normal circumstances, how can they be eaten, especially brewed wine?
Is it a delicacy that ordinary people can drink? The process here is very complicated. In short, it is an extremely rare luxury product. The luxury lies in its brewing process, not in the material itself."
"Ah, dragon... Do you have a dragon there? What kind, like ours or..."
"More like the Western dragon, the Chinese dragon is a kind of spirit, a totem, and a kind of culture, inheritance and identity. It is much nobler than that big lizard."
"...I really hope to see it with my own eyes."
Bei Gaoyang smiled slightly, "There is a chance."
"There is a chance...you mean..."
Bei Gaoyang waved his hand, "Let's not talk about it for now. You saw it just now. How are these apprentices?"
Yu Qingdong also wanted to talk about dragons. When did he have this 'opportunity'? He only talked about half of it, which was very exciting. It was really...
"Magic? It's so magical, Chairman, I...can I learn it too?"
"You? You can't do it. You're too old."
Yu Qingdong said to himself that he was only 40 years old and was in the prime of life when he was stabbed in the back again.
"That... haha, they are all pretty good. I remember they haven't been studying for long, right? They can cast magic. This is really... enviable."
Bei Gaoyang smiled, "What do you think magic is?"
"I?"
"Yes, tell me how you feel."
"Uh... a magical, incredible power. I remember Canaan is also transformed by magic... right? Haha, only magic can do it... Magic requires magic power, and the earth does not have it, so you built this place?
"
"Hmm...where's the magic power?"
"I don't know... it should be an extremely precious thing. The materials used to make the helmet and the materials you left behind contain magic power to make it so extraordinary, right?"
"Do you think having magic and magic is a very lucky thing and a good thing?"
Yu Qingdong gave him a strange look, "Of course."
The smile on Bei Gaoyang's face faded. He pondered for a moment and knocked on the table. "Okay, let's get down to business. I already know your purpose."
Yu Qingdong still wanted to review, but Bei Gaoyang raised his hand to stop him, "When will the bidding be held?"
"Uh...what do you mean..."
"The faster, the better. This is the design requirement of the required artificial intelligence program. You take it back and give it to those who are preparing to bid, and let them come up with a feasible plan. There is no need to mention other things. This will not be the case next time."
…
On the way back, Yu Qingdong sat in a carriage with strict quarantine measures. After reading Bei Gaoyang's design requirements, he said to the person on the intercom, "Aren't you guys always guessing that he will use artificial intelligence programs? Now there is an answer."
