Chapter 68 Breakthrough to Level 1 Arcane Mage
Chapter 68: Breakthrough to First-Level Arcane Mage (First Update)
Fang Yu waited for the bus to leave before driving the G500 back.
Although some classmates had seen this car by the lake before, the front of the car was heading towards the lake, the trunk was open, and the side-open trunk door was blocked by the tent. Basically no one saw the car logo, and no one noticed that the car was Fang Yu's.
Chen Wanyu passed away on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every year, Chen Shian would not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in a special way. He would just ask the nanny to simply prepare four dishes and a soup.
Since Chen Wanyu doesn’t like mooncakes, Chen Shian doesn’t prepare mooncakes every Mid-Autumn Festival.
The greatest pain in life is to see the young die before the old.
Until now, Chen Shian still remembers the scene when his daughter hugged him and called him dad when she was a child.
At that time, Chen Xi was not born yet. Chen Shi'an was transferred to Xinhao for the first time and could only return to Haixi once a month.
Every time Chen Shian came back, his daughter would rush over and wave her little hands and shout, "Dad, I miss you so much."
And every time at the end of the short two-day vacation, before leaving, my daughter would say with tears in her eyes: "Nannan doesn't want Dad to leave, Dad, please don't go?"
Nannan, daddy didn’t leave, but why did you leave him?
It was late at night. Chen Shi'an and Feng Yuzhen were old and had already started sleeping in separate rooms. Chen Shi'an closed the door, took out a small locked box from the cabinet, opened it with the key, and carefully took out a stack of photos from it.
My daughter’s birth, full moon, 100th birthday, one-year-old birthday, going to the park…
From black and white photos, to color films, to digital photos, there are also a few photo booths and Polaroids.
Chen Shian stroked his daughter's smiling face in every photo, tears streaming down his face.
A few tears accidentally fell on the photo in his hand. Chen Shian hurriedly wiped them away and was relieved to see that the photo was intact.
Suddenly there was a soft knock on the bedroom's living room door.
"Grandpa, it's me, Fang Yu."
Chen Shian quickly wiped away his tears, put the photo back into the small box, hid it under his pillow, and then said, "Xiao Yu, come in."
Chen Shian's bedroom has a small living room with a set of sofas and a small coffee table.
Fang Yu looks a bit like her mother. Chen Shian had just felt the pain of losing his daughter, and when he saw Fang Yu's face, his eyes almost turned red again.
"Xiao Yu, what do you want from grandpa so late at night? I heard from your uncle that the girl who went into the water with you to save Yi Yi today was very pretty. What does her family do?" Chen Shi'an calmed himself down and asked with a smile.
Fang Yu's mouth twitched: "I don't know. If you want to know, I'll go back to school and ask you."
Chen Shian picked up the newspaper on the armrest of the sofa and knocked on Fang Yu: "What do you want to know, you bastard? Tell me, what do you want to see grandpa for?"
Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I remember grandma once said that you still have the baby teeth that my mom and my uncle lost when they were little. Do you still have my mom's baby teeth? I want one."
"What do you want your mother's baby teeth for?" Chen Shian was stunned. He obviously had never expected that Fang Yu would come to him for this.
Fang Yu blinked and said casually: "Oh, I went to Hongyi Zen Temple a few days ago and met a master. I want him to help me make offerings."
Chen Shian snorted: "This is all superstition. People my age don't believe it. Did you go to college for nothing?"
Fang Yu remained calm, pulled Chen Shian's arm and started to act coquettishly: "I just want peace of mind, Grandpa~ just give me one~"
Chen Shian had no choice but to go back to the bedroom and take out the small box from under the pillow.
There is a small drawer on the layer below the photo. When you open the drawer, you will see seven or eight small deciduous teeth that have fallen out.
Chen Shian picked one out and gave it to Fang Yu: "Your mother loved eating candy when she was a child. Five or six of her twenty teeth were broken. This one is relatively intact. Be careful not to lose it."
Fang Yu took the baby tooth, carefully put it into a red cloth bag, put it close to her body, hugged Chen Shian and kissed him.
"Get out of here now. You're already so old, and you're not ashamed of yourself." Chen Shi'an shooed Fang Yu away with a fierce look on his face.
Chen Shian locked the small box, opened the closet door, and put the box back.
"I need to remind this kid next time. He still hasn't changed his habit of blinking when he lies."
Chen Shian patted the closet door and let out a long sigh.
After successfully getting his mother's baby teeth, Fang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is still a long way from level 17, except for the materials that need to be exchanged with the astral realm, some prerequisite materials for the Great Resurrection can already be prepared.
The Great Resurrection Spell does not necessarily require the remains of the deceased, but if a part of the deceased's body is available, the success rate of the spell will increase significantly, and the need for exchange in the astral realm can be reduced.
Chen Wanyu's body had been cremated long ago, so Fang Yu set his sights on his grandparents. He had to get the things as soon as possible, otherwise if something unexpected happened, he would regret it.
In the next few days, Fang Yu's life was very regular.
During the day, I went to the arcade to practice Buffy Training Method and helped my grandfather repair the yard and pond.
I also took a day off and found a farmhouse kitchen to boil two large pots of Wangshu Tears and Lieyang Essence Liquid.
After Wangshu Tears was diluted with water and thickened with aloe vera and pectin, there were more than 50 liters, which was enough for Wang Xiaoya to distribute the goods in the early stage.
At night, I continue to meditate and analyze spell models.
After receiving guidance from Youzi, Fang Yu finally understood why he could never construct a first-level spell model.
Because Fang Yu cannot predict how his own variables will change after he is promoted to a formal mage, he cannot meet the conditions for model generation.
It is precisely because each mage's spell model must be combined with its own existing variables that the model of the same spell for each mage is different.
So Fang Yu simply continued to analyze the 0-ring trick. Over the past few days, he had basically figured out a rule of the Rubik's Cube - he could change the spell mark on any side of the Rubik's Cube at will.
You can change it once in each meditation cycle. If you want to change it again, you have to wait until the second meditation cycle.
According to this logic, even if more advanced spells are mastered in the future, they should be able to replace the existing spell marks on the Rubik's Cube.
"Anticipate the Enemy's Moves" from the School of Prophecy, "Magic Stone" and "Dancing Wind" from the School of Change, "Life Maintenance" from the School of Life, and "Magic Energy Explosion" from the School of Shaping, these five spells became the five new spells that Fang Yu mastered during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.
In this way, together with the 7 0-ring tricks he had mastered before, Fang Yu has successfully mastered 12 0-ring tricks, far exceeding the requirements for advancement to a first-level arcane mage.
The magic power limit was successfully reached at 8 units on Fang Yu’s birthday.
On the last day of the holiday, Fang Yu went to the video game arcade in Yida Plaza as usual.
Although there is no 2D interference here, the interference intensity in other aspects is no less.
Fang Yu sat in the cockpit, concentrating on driving a black muscle car, while his mental power always remained connected to the surrounding magic network nodes.
The racing games in the arcade are actually games from eight or nine years ago.
Fang Yu often played this game called outrun when he was a child. Every lap would add a little time.
If the time runs out, it's a game over, and if you can complete the required number of laps before the time runs out, you win.
Fang Yu's previous best record was 15 minutes and 09 seconds, which he set yesterday when he came to play games. Today, he plans to try to break 15 minutes.
It’s the last lap! Fang Yu never let go of the accelerator. Just when he was about to reach the finish line with two turns left, his vision suddenly went dark.
"Ah~" Several children watching nearby cried out in regret.
"Uncle, uncle, do you still want to play?" A braver child pushed Fang Yu, but found that Fang Yu did not respond at all.
"Mom, mom, this uncle seems to be sick!" the child looked excited.
"Mom, look, is this the heart attack you mentioned? Do you want to give this uncle artificial respiration?"
"Huh? This uncle seemed to have opened his eyes just now, why did he close them again?"
As the ground shook, the little boy's mother ran over from not far away.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? I'm the head nurse of Yuyang Zhou Hospital. Let me take a look." A rough voice sounded in Fang Yu's ears.
Fang Yu was startled and opened his eyes suddenly.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just had a little low blood sugar." Fang Yu looked at the kind-hearted man weighing more than 200 pounds with lingering fear and thanked him repeatedly.
"Hey, big sister, I have some candy here, hurry up and have one." The boy's mother took out a lollipop from her bag, "You look so strong, how come you have low blood sugar? Is it because you lost weight?"
Fang Yu took it with gratitude, put it in his mouth, and it tasted sweet.
"Are you feeling better?" the warm-hearted 200-pound head nurse asked with concern.
"Much better, thank you, sister." Fang Yu smiled slightly as he felt the tingling sensation in his body.
12 units of mental strength, breakthrough.
