"Left, a little further to the left!"
"Hey, no, no, go back a little bit to the same position just now."
"Okay, this is it."
In the living room, Chu Xin was instructing several dwarves to move and adjust the position of the bookcase. With a muffled "bang", the black jade and red sandalwood bookcase that had been gathering dust in the ruins for many years settled into its new home.
"Easy, gentle!"
Listening to the dull sound, Chu Xin greeted heartbrokenly. These bookcases were not ordinary valuables, but made of extremely precious black jade and rosewood.
Blackfish rosewood is a six-star special wood that has many functions such as calming the mind and nourishing the mind. It is indeed a bit luxurious to use it as a bookcase.
There are eleven such bookcases in total. Due to space constraints, Chu Xin placed two in the living room and one in the bedroom. As for the remaining eight bookcases, they continue to lie in the warehouse. After the territory reaches three stars, the black castle should be upgraded again. By then, two or three rooms can be set aside as study rooms.
Chu Xin randomly selected some books that she was more interested in and placed them on the three bookshelves to make them look less empty.
In addition to the bookcases, other items found in the ruins are also extraordinary. Every item is made of at least three-star materials. Even the plush blanket on the floor is made of the fur of the five-star exotic beast Cloud Mink.
Unfortunately, from a practical point of view, there is not a particularly big gap in performance. If possible, Chu Xin would prefer to replace these things with the materials or units he needs to improve his strength.
But it was for free anyway, so Chu Xin simply added all these things to his house.
It's a pity that this trip to the Jade Empire was because of the war. There may not be a market for such luxury goods, and it is not convenient to carry them. Chu Xin planned to take the art oil painting he got last time at the Ghost House to test the waters and explore the market first.
Unknowingly, Chu Xin's residence completed a round of luxurious upgrades. Various furnishings made his house look a little more homey. It was finally not as miserable as it was at first, with only floors and walls. scene.
In fact, Chu Xin really wanted to bring back those inconspicuous magic functions in the ruins, such as concealment ability, automatic cleaning ability and energy system. Unfortunately, these things are not like these decorations, which can be taken just by picking them up.
"Hey, it looks good now." Chu Xin wandered around the room, very satisfied.
He turned around and found that Rosa was already reading the books on the bookshelf, and Friday was also holding a copy of "The Rise of the Skeleton King" and flipping through it. Unfortunately, it still recognizes too few words and does not yet have basic reading skills. It can only take a look at the three-dimensional magic illustrations displayed from time to time.
It's a good sign to have a strong thirst for knowledge, and the books I picked are pretty good.
Chu Xin thought happily, and picked up a book called "The Mystery of Magic" and started reading it.
After holding on for half a minute, he rubbed his swollen head, sighed and put the book back on the shelf.
He knew every word in the book separately and understood its meaning, but when put together, he couldn't understand it at all. It was as if he were reading a book from heaven. After reading several long paragraphs, he had no idea what was being said.
Here, Friday also gave up the somewhat difficult project of reading, and pestered Rosa, the new teacher, to continue studying. It understands that if it wants to understand these books, it needs further study.
Rosa reluctantly put down the vampire book called "Twilight Castle" and started teaching Friday.
To be honest, after a period of teaching, she is now quite willing to teach this little skeleton. Some basic words and letters can basically be learned quickly after being taught once or twice, which gives it a great sense of accomplishment.
It's a pity that the teacher who taught before was too unprofessional and completely misled the students, making the little skull take a lot of detours. Otherwise, after systematic learning, he should have basic literacy skills by now.
Therefore, now I still have to learn it all over again on Friday. Fortunately, I didn’t learn it too deeply before, otherwise it would be difficult to correct some mistakes now.
Friday's intelligence completely refreshed Rosa's understanding of the undead race of skeletons. This was the first time she had encountered such an intelligent low-star undead.
Faced with the diligent and studious Friday, Rosa quickly entered the state. She felt that it would not be long before Chu Xin's task was completed.
Seeing that the teacher and students were getting into the mood quickly, Chu Xin nodded happily. Looking at Friday, she felt as if her little cub was growing up.
He did not disturb the two of them anymore, turned around and entered the bedroom inside, sat on the bed and began to examine some other items obtained from the ruins this time.
After removing the miscellaneous decorations, there were not many remaining items. They were roughly divided into three categories: magic books, potions, and five eight-star alien beast cores. As for the items he originally thought were potion formulas, they were actually just Just some experimental data.
Among the three, Chu Xin thinks that the most valuable one is probably the magic book, which can be seen in its slutty shape.
[Lane's Magic Book]: The six-star magic book, after being transformed by the mage Ryan, its pages are no longer disposable consumables. Burning Spell 1: Cleansing; Burning Spell 2: Levitation; Burning Spell 3: Ten Thousand Words. Three blank magic book pages can be used to record three corresponding spells of six stars or below. The entered spells will automatically be converted into eternal spells, which can be cast an unlimited number of times without consuming pages, but do require the consumption of magic power.
Strictly speaking, this magic book is completely different from the magic books Chu Xin has seen. After Ryan's transformation, this magic book turned into a permanent spell-casting prop.
It is a pity that the spells burned in it are all auxiliary functional spells. Among them, the cleansing spell is a life spell that is not even a one-star, and the floating spell is a three-star wind spell that can be suspended in mid-air after being cast. It doesn't have the ability to move, which makes it useless. The last Ten Thousand Languages spell is a relatively rare special spell. When turned on, you can understand the languages of all races in the world. However, this is a one-way translation. You can only understand other people's languages, but you cannot let others understand yours. language.
There are a total of six magic book pages, three of which are already occupied, but fortunately, they can continue to be burned and overwritten, and the overwritten spells will automatically be replaced with new spells. Of course, the premise is that the spells you cover must be consistent with the element categories corresponding to the magic book pages.
Among the six magic pages, there is one each of the four magic pages of wind, fire, thunder, and earth, and two without attributes. These can only be engraved with some ordinary life spells, or special spells such as Ten Thousand Words. .
Chu Xin is quite satisfied with this book. The only regret is that there are no powerful offensive spells recorded in it.
In terms of potions, there are three categories: dark vision strengthening potions, dark vision improving potions, and ability extraction potions.
Among them, there are 13 bottles of dark black strengthening potions, 4 bottles of light gray improving potions, and the least blood red ability extraction potions, only 2 bottles.
YY
[Dark Vision Enhancement Potion]: This potion extracted from shadow cats can gain night vision ability after use. But there are sequelae, vision will be reduced to a certain extent.
[Dark Vision Improvement Potion]: Improved potion extracted from shadow cats. After use, night vision can be obtained without any side effects.
[Intermediate ability extraction potion]: After use, an alien ability can be randomly extracted from the alien beast's core to form a corresponding strengthening potion. Tip: It can only be used on monster cores below six stars and may have some unknown risks.
There is not much difference in the functions of the two dark vision potions. The difference is that the strengthening potion has side effects, while the improved potion does not.
Night vision ability is not a particularly necessary ability for Chu Xin.
Because in his territory, creatures such as Rosa and Ghost Wolf have super night vision capabilities, Chu Xin does not worry about becoming blind at night. As for other arms, strengthening is a bit wasteful and is not necessary.
However, he had many skills, and his night vision was not bad. Chu Xin decided to drink a bottle, so he called Tony.
Under his pressure, Tony gritted his teeth and drank it as if he were drinking poison. After waiting for about ten minutes, nothing happened. Through the panel, Chu Xin soon discovered that Tony had an additional ability called dark vision.
The surgery was a success!
After Chu Xin confirmed the success, he was not in a hurry to drink the potion. He planned to wait until he tested the effect of dark vision in detail at night before deciding whether to strengthen this ability.
The third category, ability extraction potions, is also a relatively special potion that can actually extract the abilities of alien beasts and use them to strengthen themselves. Chu Xin guessed that this third potion was Master Lane's life's work, but unfortunately its quantity was too small.
However, Chu Xin has collected all the test records and related books in the laboratory, and wonders if he can find any clues to the formula of this medicine.
But there is no one to do this in a short period of time. Tony's current mission focus has been placed on those magic puppets. Chu Xin really wants to make these big guys his own. Even if he can't go out to fight, he can keep them at home. The nursing home is also excellent.
Overall, he gained a lot from this trip to the small town of Fairen, but it will take some time for these gains to be transformed into concrete strength.
Today is already Friday, and there are only about three days left before heading to the battlefield of the Jade Empire. Chu Xin will leave next Monday at the latest.
Time waits for no one!
If possible, Chu Xin hoped to allow herself to develop stably for a year before encountering such a thing again, but reality did not allow it. The highest-level compulsory recruitment order in the Emerald Empire would not let any combatant go, so he had no choice.
After sorting out her mood, Chu Xin sat on the bed and started using the elf meditation technique she learned from the elf last time.
The human spirit is an innate strength. If nothing unexpected happens, it will not change much in a lifetime. But it's not completely helpless. Meditation is a way to strengthen spiritual power, and it's also a basic spell for all mages to get started.
Meditation is an ability that all magicians must learn, because meditation can well train the mental strength, perception and control of the wizard, and can greatly improve their spell casting success rate.
At the same time, it is also an effective means of recovery after a large amount of magic power is consumed.
Chu Xin started the Elf Meditation Technique as required. First, he had to calm down completely and gradually adjust his mental power in conjunction with his breathing.
"Here, I will write one stroke, and you will follow suit."
Rosa's clear voice suddenly penetrated into Chu Xin's ears, instantly disrupting his rhythm. He finally found some form and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Phew! I want my heart to calm down!" Chu Xin closed his eyes again, but he found that he began to automatically imagine the situation outside where Rosa was teaching Friday. In desperation, he had no choice but to shout: "Rosa, please bring Friday to your Go inside and study!”
"Okay, Lord!" Rosa responded, and soon the sounds outside disappeared.
Chu Xin started the Elf Meditation Technique again, closed his eyes and meditated, and felt it carefully.
At first, Chu Xin didn't feel anything. It felt like she simply closed her eyes. She was still aware of the world around her, and she didn't feel the existence of any elements at all.
As the Elf Meditation Technique was run over and over again, Chu Xin found that he had entered another world, just like the last time he awakened the mage profession. It was a brand new space, with countless colorful light spots suddenly flashing. Flickering brightly and dimly.
At this moment, he couldn't feel his body at all. The only thing he felt could represent him was the small purple ball the size of a fist in the center of the space.
No, it should be said to be two small balls, because next to the purple ball, there is also a small earth-yellow ball the size of a mung bean hidden.
As he continued to run the Elf Meditation Technique, the two small balls slowly rotated, and the surrounding light points of the corresponding thunder and earth elements gathered towards the two small balls.
"I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to meditate and practice like a mage!" Chu Xin felt that this scene was magical and fresh, but this freshness did not last long, and the same scene was repeated all the time, full of boring and boring.
Sure enough, if you want to become a strong person, you need a persistent heart. Not everyone can persist in the boring long-term meditation.
"This is too passive. Can I take the initiative to catch these light spots?" Chu Xin had a sudden idea and tried to manipulate two small balls to capture the small light spots around him.
With the blessing of his extremely high mental power, he quickly did it easily. The light ball stretched out many silk threads and began to capture the light spots corresponding to the two colors.
But in the process of capturing, extremely high mental control is required, because once it touches the light spots of other colors, the capture will be in vain.
Gradually, Chu Xin became more proficient, and on the prompts that he could not see, messages sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
"Tip, if you use Elf Meditation, the mage's experience value will increase by 10 points and your magic power will increase by 1 point."
"Tip, if you use Elf Meditation, the mage's experience value will increase by 5 points."
…
"Tip, if you use Elf Meditation, the mage's experience value will increase by 19 points, and your mental attributes will increase by 1 point."
