Sector 7, in the study room of a single-family house.
Li Nuo opened his eyes and ended his first meeting with the professor.
【system information:】
[You stayed in the "Garden of Silence" for 65 minutes and consumed about 1 point of energy. 】
Li Nuo glanced at the clock on the table. No more, no less. The natural time had just passed 65 minutes. It is estimated that Dinas is cooperating with Mevle to count the alchemy weapons.
Li Nuo used "Soul Sensing" to confirm Dinas' situation, and then read "The Sound of Silence" in the study, waiting for her return.
[You spend 3,000 energy points to deconstruct "The Sound of Silence". 】
[You have obtained a new meditation method from it - the sound of silence. 】
[The specific panel information of the meditation method is as follows:]
【Name】Sound of Silence
[Type] Meditation
【Completeness】100%
【Grade】Three rings
You can practice this meditation method to level 90.
After passing the wizard level test, you can obtain higher-level content from the leading professor, thereby unlocking the highest level of meditation.
[Related attributes] Spirit, will
[Meditation Progress] Level 0, 0/1000
【illustrate】
In an absolutely quiet environment, activate this meditation method to enter a meditative state.
You will feel the feeling of deathly silence in your soul, which is a mental state of shattered hope, despair and helplessness.
The longer you stay in a meditative state, the better the meditation will be.
but!
Please note!
In a meditative state, you lose all awareness of the outside world and the concept of time. If you meditate for too long, you may die suddenly from soul death.
【Effect】
After entering the meditative state, 1 energy point and 10 soul strength points will be deducted every hour, and the "spiritual" attribute value will be temporarily reduced by 1 point.
If "Spirit" ≤ 0 when you end meditation, you will die.
If "Spirit" is >0 when you end meditation, you will gain meditation practice experience.
When the experience bar is full, the meditation level will increase, the meditation difficulty will increase simultaneously, and upgrade rewards will be obtained. Upgrade rewards are related to "spirit", "will" and soul strength.
…
For ordinary people, meditation requires a lot of practice and preparation, but in Li Nuo's hands, it becomes a gadget that can be easily flipped like a light switch.
Li Nuo thought for a moment, adjusted his sitting posture, and started his first meditation.
After activating the Sound of Silence meditation method, Li Nuo's eyes suddenly fell into pure darkness. Without light and sound, it's like being in a lonely vacuum environment.
Li Nuo was all too familiar with this feeling.
When Dinah teleported him, he would be surrounded by darkness every time during the teleportation process.
But this time, it's a little different.
There was no gentle and lovely Dinas beside him, nor was there the firelight emitted by the torch in the other person's hand.
He was alone in the darkness, with only...
"system?"
Li Nuo muttered silently.
Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief when a very familiar system interface lit up in front of his eyes.
Sure enough, even in the meditative state of the Sound of Silence, he could still use the system without hindrance.
Li Nuo brought up his personal panel and stared at the "Status Bar" and "Spirit" columns.
When "Spirit" temporarily dropped by 1 point, he used his mind to click on "Meditation: Sound of Silence" in the "Skill Bar" and snapped it off.
Light and sound waves came from all directions, pouring into Li Nuo's eyes and ears all at once.
"The world of the living is really noisy~"
Li Nuo shook his head and sighed, rubbing his head that was hit by the noise outside the house.
The soundproofing effect of his room is very good. The noise coming from outside was very faint. Normally, he wouldn't notice the noise. But after breaking away from the meditative state of absolute silence, the noisy voices, the sound of braking tires, and the waves of car horns pierced my head like needles.
A full five seconds passed before Li Nuo got used to the noise in the house again.
He called up the system messages and took a look. His eyebrows were raised high, and joy flashed in his eyes.
[You have completed your first meditation. 】
[You stayed in the "Sound of Silence" state for 1 hour. 】
["Sound of Silence" meditation method experience +1000 points, level up! It is now level 1 0/2000. 】
[You have obtained the meditation method upgrade reward! 】
[Because your "Spirit" attribute value is significantly higher than the level of this meditation method, some rewards have been weakened. 】
["Spirit" +0 points. After the level of the "Sound of Silence" meditation method is equal to your "Spirit", you can normally obtain the "Spirit" attribute value reward. 】
["Will" +1 point. The "Will" attribute value is related to the tenacity of your mind and soul. Every time the "Will" attribute value increases by 1 point, your mind magic and soul magic power will increase by 1 point, and your "Soul Strength" automatic recovery speed will increase by 0.1 point/24 hours. 】
[The "Soul Strength" column has changed, and a new "Soul Resurrection" entry has been added, the details are as follows:]
[Soul recovery: 0.1 points/24 hours, that is, 0.1 points of soul strength are automatically restored every 24 hours. The value of soul strength automatically restored is equal to your "will" attribute value/10. 】
[Since your "will" has increased by 1 point, your "energy limit" +1, the details are as follows:]
[Energy value: 252812/54 (40+14)]
[Your "Sword of Silence" level +1, now at level 1. 】
…
The short stone thorn in Li Nuo's hand changed slightly.
The texture on its surface became clearer and no longer as rough as before. At the same time, the outline has become more symmetrical, and the overall look is getting closer to an axially symmetrical stone dagger.
Li Nuo smiled with satisfaction.
"That's right~ The effect of meditation practice is immediate. The soul strength can also be restored automatically."
Although the automatic recovery speed is extremely slow, only 0.1 points every 24 hours, it is enough to make Li Nuo very happy.
When Li Nuo raises "Will" to 90 points, he will be able to gain 9 points of soul strength for free every day! This is a real meditation method benefit, enough to cast many spells.
Glancing at the system description of the "Will" attribute again, Li Nuo couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
"Another new basic attribute. After "Vitality" and "Strength", this is the third new attribute. Hey, my information panel looks more and more like the character panel in the game. If there were some additional attributes such as critical hit rate, critical hit damage, and dodge rate, wow, it would be almost the same as a player. "
Li Nuo's heart sank slightly when he thought of the undead who looked like "players".
This kind of alien space creature puts a little pressure on him, a loser.
According to Komini, the wizards in this world have not actually seen the undead yet, they have only heard rumors about the undead.
After the undead discovered that there was a "profession" like "wizard" available here, it was hard to imagine how much Li Nuo's environment would change.
"Well... neither Dinas nor I can automatically regenerate after death. In order to avoid being killed by the 'player', I have to prepare for the worst. I will work hard to practice breathing and meditation, and become the world's top strongman as soon as possible. Only in this way can I compete with the undead and preserve everything I have now."
Li Nuo calmed down and decided to continue practicing the "Sound of Silence" meditation method.
He sensed Dinas's position and saw that she was still staying in the Cat Society Manor, so he started his second meditation.
The situation of this second meditation was different from the first time.
The energy consumption per hour is increased to 2 points, and the soul strength consumption is increased to 11 points.
At the same time, the temporary drop rate of "Spirit" is increased to 1.1 points per hour.
An hour later, Li Nuo opened his eyes.
The system reminded him that he also gained 1,000 points of practice experience for practicing meditation this time. But since it takes 2,000 experience points to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, he has to practice for 2 hours before he can upgrade to level 1.
When you reach the next level, the training time of the upgraded meditation method should be increased.
Li Nuo was not surprised by this phenomenon.
The same is true for the "Martyrdom Meditation Method" he practiced before. It takes 3 to 15 hours to reach level 1 and gain 1 point of "Spirit".
The "Sound of Silence" meditation method has more training rewards than the "Martyrdom Meditation Method", so it is understandable that its future meditation difficulty will be higher than the latter.
Li Nuo stood up, moved his body joints, and called Dinas over.
In the flickering firelight, a smiling Dinasi appeared in front of Li Nuo.
"Hee~ How is it, how is it? How was your chat with the professor? Have you joined "Silent Girls"? Dinas asked impatiently as soon as she arrived.
"Hmm. Professor Erica and I signed a soul contract, and we are now official members." Li Nuo looked at the beaming Dinas with a smile and asked:
"Have the alchemy weapons been sold?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Dinas pulled out a chair and sat down, holding her face in her hands and saying with a smile:
"This batch of alchemy weapons is more than the previous batch, and a total of 34,000 Unas gold coins were sold. After I got the payment, I have already kept the accounts. We now have a total of 214,500 gold coins on hand, of which 106,000 are in cash. Gold coins, several boxes of life potions worth 8,500 gold coins, and eight sage particles worth 100,000 gold coins. We have collected enough funds for our island purchase plan~"
"Well, not bad." Li Nuo gave Dinas a thumbs up and asked again:
"Has the ticket matter been settled?"
"Yeah! It's done." Dinas took out two metal magic tickets:
"Mevle used the name of Elemental Trial to help us book two tickets on the magic ship passing through the Suman Islands. We can just follow them on the ship then. The magic ship will arrive the day after tomorrow, and in the evening of the same day, It will leave Midas Island. These two tickets were sent by the captain of the magic ship by magic messenger, and they are still warm. Shall I keep them first?"
"Just leave it there." Li Nuo dug into the drawer, took out the paper ticket and handed it over:
"I'll put these two tickets from the Gold Chamber of Commerce to you as well. I've already arranged everything.
"On the surface, we left Midas Island via the Gold Merchant Guild's ocean-going merchant ship. But in fact, we left with the Elemental Trial. This was enough to avoid all prying eyes on us. I said hello to Darik, and he We will lead a team to act as 'our' navigation guard and escort 'us' on the Gold Chamber of Commerce's ship to Balder's Gate in Cahir Continent. The real us will follow Mevle and the others to the Suman Islands. Wait until we get there , Maeve Le and the others continue to Unas, we say goodbye to them and stay in the Suman Islands for a long time."
"Okay~ I will follow your arrangement~" Dinas put away the four tickets.
"Let me think about what we haven't done yet. In these two days before leaving Midas Island, I want to clean up the tail that needs to be cleaned up.
Li Nuo leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
Not long after arriving in Gathering City, he was about to leave. If this matter were placed on others, it would inevitably feel a bit rushed. After all, many things are not over yet, such as whether the descendants of the Blood Sun Seal will be eliminated by Komini, and whether other sage particles in the Masterless Corridor can be plundered, etc.
But Li Nuo felt that it was just right to leave Gathering City now.
He had never regarded Gathering City as a permanent residence. Especially after knowing that this place was far away from the mainland and was a truly tiny place, his idea of leaving Convergence City became even more determined.
His deconstruction can only maximize its value in a prosperous environment. Here in Convergence City, he dealt more with alchemy than with magic. Even if there are professors, it will be difficult to change this situation. Because you have to pay to buy knowledge from professors.
After thinking about it, Li Nuo believed that at this point in time, it would be wisest for him to withdraw from the whirlpool of trouble on Midas Island without waiting for everything to settle.
This is like entering the Texas Hold'em table to play cards. What he has to do is not to keep winning and beat everyone down, but to never be greedy when making money and leave the table in time.
Keeping the gains is the most critical thing.
"Dinas, has Maeve Le talked to you about the next Magic Research Institute?" Li Nuo asked after coming back to his senses.
Dinas twirled her chin and said thoughtfully:
"Well...she said it. There are many wizarding forces competing for the authority of the next organization. Among them, the ones with a greater chance of winning are the Death Branch of Hotams and the Soulshaping Society of Soulshaper Guimat. Now the wizards move forward An assessment will be carried out."
"What about the next magic research institute in Tatis? Are there any rumors?"
Elemental Trial and Moster had previously reached a cooperation. The Elemental Trial returned the core of the staff that carried the soul of the prince, and Most paid for the intelligence of the Black City and a large amount of "Extraordinary Characteristics: Vitality Surge" to offset the difference.
At this time, Meister and his mother Adela are busy preparing for the resurrection ceremony of the fallen prince Merton.
Simultaneously with this, the Twilight Giants and the Emperor selected the next Magic Research Institute.
The Death Council lost its bone-setting wand and had to get out. It was considered as paying part of the price for the destruction of the civilians of the empire for so many years.
The competition for its next agency candidate is extremely fierce.
This is caused by the size and system of the Necromantic Cult.
Among the extraordinary phenomena currently recorded, the Necromantic Sect is definitely the one with the largest scale and the most complete system. Even if it is located in the most remote corner of the world, it cannot stop the wizarding forces from studying it.
Dinas sat on the chair, contacted the professor, and then struck up a conversation with Adela.
After a brief exchange, Dinas brought the latest information.
"Adela said that the Twilight Giant named wizards who did not want to see the "Leyline Pillar" on the land of the empire. The Twilight Giants especially hate the "Pillars of Earth", saying that these guys who mix their souls with clods of earth have desecrated the holiness and purity of the earth. But, the Emperor likes "Pillars of Earth Lines" very much. The reason he gave was that the rock and soil magic of the "Earth Pillar" could not only help destroy the tombs, but also help rebuild the Suffering Junction. "
Dinas shrugged slightly:
"So, in the end, it should be the "Pillar of Earth" that will establish the next magic research institution in Tatis. "
Li Nuo's lips curved up and he nodded slowly:
"Yes, yes, it's all under my control."
Dinas blinked, "Under your control?"
She suddenly realized:
"Oh~ I remembered it. You told me about this. The more the Twilight Giant likes a wizarding force, the more he must show his disgust for that force in front of the emperor. This is your advice to the Twilight Giant. "
"Well, yes." Li Nuo nodded calmly, clapped his hands and stood up:
"Okay, Dinas. Go back and pack your luggage. Let's go to the Cat Club Manor to stay temporarily during the night. We will board the ship with them the day after tomorrow. Don't leave anything behind. As soon as we leave, May never return to Convergence City.”
"Okay~" Dinas stood up, but didn't leave in a hurry:
"Let me pack it for you. I've already packed mine in advance."
Li Nuo thought for a while and did not refuse:
"Leave it to you. I just happened to go and confirm the itinerary with Cindy to avoid making mistakes while busy."
"Yeah, go ahead." Dinas took out the hair rope and tied her hair back, looking like she was going to have a hard time.
Seeing her energetic look, Li Nuo chuckled and left the study.
Author's reminder:
