I can't be an NPC

Chapter 6 Drop Ring Improvements
"I offended you so much in the past. What is there to be sorry for? Uncle, I will apologize to you today."

"Say something straight."

"Teach me."

Looking at the pattern on Li Wen's spell book, Leonard felt that the model knew him, but he didn't know the model.

The whole is a bit like a model of a 0-level spell energy bomb, but one is a 0-level trick, and the other is a real second-level spell, and it also allows the release of the ascending ring.

Obviously not the same.

Every mage is studious and thirsty for knowledge.

He is also included.

Even if there are not many spell slots that can be used in each battle, it can't stop a heart to learn and master all spells.

Li Wen responded immediately.

"No problem...but I'm here for another reason."

"Ok?"

"Lend me your book "Detailed Explanation of the Basics of Runes"."

"Why do you want that?"

Leonard asked curiously, and at the same time waved his hand, a milky white energy hand took down the books Li Wen wanted from the bookshelf not far away and sent them over.

0 ring spell - mage girlfriend (fog).

Li Wen took the book with a light yellow heavy cover, opened the catalog, and went straight to where he wanted.

Level 0 Spells - Detailed Explanation of Basic Runes of Energy Bomb.

Spells seem complicated, but any complicated thing often has the simplest basic theory.

In other words - any spell is made up of runes, and each rune is constant and single.

Each rune is responsible for a certain effect.

A collection of various runes is a part of a complete spell model...

The reason why a 0-level spell is a 0-level spell is that it can only hold a small number of runes.

Once it exceeds... that is a first-level, second-level or even ninth-level spell.

The reason Icacia Thundershower is a 0nd-level spell rather than a [-]-level spell is simple - there are more runes.

So, as long as some relatively unnecessary rune structures are deleted and the entire model is simplified, can the number of rings be reduced and its usage requirements lowered?

"Are you going to simplify the structure?"

Leonard guessed Li Wen's purpose at a glance.

In fact, Li Wen's behavior is quite common throughout the history of magic.

Every mage hopes to reduce the casting requirements of all spells, so as to achieve the purpose of using them in advance.

After all, mastering more types of spells means more choices when using them.

It's a pity that most of the existing spells are the product of countless improvements made by the ancestors.

Simplified to the point where it couldn't be more streamlined.

"Very blue and spicy! I think you are wasting your time. If you have this time, why don't you tell me what runes these two structures are... Ga?"

On the spell book, the light blue lines were outlined, and finally condensed into a spell model that was much lighter than before.

0环法术（可升环释放）（上限五环）——艾卡西亚雷阵雨：凝聚一枚能量飞弹自动寻找范围内的目标发起攻击，每一枚能量弹造成1~2+（魔力调整加值）的伤害。需要精力值：3（+3*升环环阶）点。释放时间：瞬发。冷却时间：5秒。最大索敌范围：30尺。（升环施法效应：使用更高法术位施展该法术时，一环时恢复至正常基础伤害（2~4），后续每比0环多一环，就额外多出一枚能量弹。）
???

"Is it difficult?"

Li Wen raised his head and looked at Leonard.

Li Wen's calm and handsome face looked dark and unpredictable under the light of the light blue spell glimmer coming from below.

Leonard moved his mouth.

"Have you already made up your mind?"

Li Wen nodded.

"When I borrowed your spell book to copy 0-level spells, I read this book, have you forgotten?"

Of course, I did not forget that the mage's memory is far superior to that of ordinary people.

Leonard stared at Li Wen, wondering if the little guy was showing off to his face on purpose.

"Then you still have to come to me to improve?"

Li Wen smiled lightly.

"It's been a long time, and I'm a little uncertain about my memory."

In his spell book, there are only two copied 0-ring spell models.

The reason is not to give up halfway, or to have limited qualifications.

It's because...it's so simple.

People only feel pleasure when they challenge difficult things.

Compared with Li Wen, the structure of the 0-ring spell is too simple, so simple that there is no interest in challenging it.

Li Wen didn't know if all people who were born with 17 points of magic power could easily do this, but in any case, he could.

"How did you do it?"

Leonard asked curiously.

"It's very simple. This spell model was originally a template for energy bombs. The effects of the two new runes you want to know are 'must hit' and 'find the enemy' respectively. With the addition of these two runes, the original use of The runes used to guide and correct the attack direction are useless. Delete the useless runes, subtract the bloated structure, and the number of rings will naturally drop."

"That's it?"

"Oh~ I also replaced the original damage rune with a lower-strength attack rune."

Otherwise, you still can't reach the 0 ring.

This is also the reason for the reduced spell damage.

"So... what does it have to do with energy bombs?"

Li Wen shrugged.

"Blue out of blue?"

Leonard was a little puzzled.

"but……"

"Damage decreased?"

"Ah."

In Leonard's view, this is thankless.

Li Wen smiled indifferently.

"Exchanging stability for damage, I think it is the exchange most beginners want."

He who just came to this different world is equally ambitious and feels that he is the son of destiny.

It's a pity that I was slapped by reality.

An arrow target ten meters away may not be able to hit him. If he wants to trouble those real monsters, he is obviously looking for a dead end.

Those players who want to come have a similar experience.

"Okay. Anyway, go to the association for a test tomorrow morning, and the result will be there."

If it is a truly meaningful innovation, the creator will be rewarded handsomely.

"By the way, how much soul energy will you gain every time you guide a Chosen One to step into the mage's path?"

Li Wen seemingly inadvertently asked the question he was most concerned about.

The reason why he is so focused on new spells is because he has taken a fancy to the soul energy that may be obtained by interacting with players.

Maybe... there is a drama in my career path?
Speaking of this, Uncle Leonard's face darkened visibly to the naked eye.

"Hey~ Don't talk about it, I regret taking this job. Guiding a Chosen One's inaugural mage only has about 20 points of soul energy, and teaching spells is slightly better, with about 50 points of soul energy. Even if I take Ten, it's only 700 points, why not meditate... well, it seems to be a little higher... eh?"

But still slow.

Leonard is currently a level 9 mage, and he needs 10 soul energy points to upgrade to level 64.

According to this efficiency... it will take about two and a half years to upgrade to level 1?
tsk~
"But maybe more than 10 a day."

Li Wen said in relief.

Reynolds had a faint tone.

"Yesterday I owed 7, but today I opened my eyes and owed 17."

"Believe me, light up the exclamation mark when you go out tomorrow, you will be the most beautiful boy in Jianfeng City!"
