Chapter 74 Lv4
In the Adventurers' Guild, the standard team composition for easy-level quests is one junior professional with three apprentices.
The difficult-level mission involves one intermediate-level professional leading three novice-level professionals.
In Cyrion's squad, besides Cyrion himself being a mid-level warrior, Lyle is about to be promoted, and Gru is a top-tier junior warrior.
Even disregarding the system's support, the mage class itself is already quite rare in the guild.
A well-protected novice mage can often be just as effective as other intermediate-level mages.
Given that the kobold leader is almost the weakest difficult-level monster, it's no surprise that the battle was easy.
The battle is over, and the next step is to clean up the battlefield.
There was no clear division of labor for this job; everyone collected samples from the left ear while separating the scales, and the sooner they finished, the sooner they could go home.
But Wilder was worried about something else.
"I'm going to relieve myself in the woods."
After saying that, he slipped into the dense forest.
Finding a slightly secluded spot, he stared into the air for a few seconds, then brought up the system panel—
Name: Wilder
[Class]: Mage
[Level]: Lv3 (850/1000)
(900/1000)
(950/1000)
(955/1000)
……
(1050/1000)
Lv3—Lv4
……
Wilder's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.
It's finally upgraded!
From this perspective, the kobold leader's experience points of only fifty are indeed quite weak.
Fortunately, he finished off the enemy in time, securing the final blow twice.
The average kobold's experience points are five, and he got them all.
What seemed like an easy battle to his teammates was actually extremely dangerous for Wilder.
The slightest mistake could leave us stuck on the verge of upgrading, just like we have done before.
He continued to scroll down the light screen—
【property】:
(2 extra attribute points can be assigned)
Power: 8
Agility: 8
Physical condition: 8
Intelligence: 13
Perception: 8
Charisma: 12
……
Wilder didn't hesitate to add both attribute points to Intelligence.
+2
[Intelligence]: 15
The moment the numbers changed, a comfortable and abundant power flowed into my body, sweeping away the emptiness brought on by the continuous casting of spells.
He shifted his gaze and looked down again—
Specialty:
Already mastered: actor, command, linguist
(Unlock new specialization, choose one of three, not yet selected)
First: Dungeon Explorer
Perception +1: You will be particularly sensitive to hidden traps and secret doors.
Secondly: Attribute enhancement
+2 attribute points, freely redistributable.
Thirdly: ruthless thugs
Strength +1, enhances your ability to use melee weapons; any item in your hand can be defined as a melee weapon.
……
Wilder noticed that there were no Charisma-related perks among the options this time, so it seemed that this thing was completely random.
The first one is actually not bad.
Especially now that a large number of kobolds have entered the border forests, we will inevitably have to deal with them for some time to come.
Kobolds are weak in themselves; their strength lies in building and setting traps.
The kobolds we encountered today haven't settled into their new home yet. If they're allowed to develop for a while, they'll inevitably face the trouble of dealing with traps once they venture deeper into their underground lair.
At that time, this expertise will become very useful.
Let's leave it for now.
The second option is to keep it permanently available.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as his combat experience increased, his thinking changed.
Currently, it seems that the increase in magical power from each point of intelligence cannot be quantified, but it can effectively shorten the casting time by one second.
This is crucial.
Also tentatively.
The third one can be ruled out directly.
Are you suggesting that a mage should be wielding a staff and hacking people to pieces?
The novel "The Fierce Mage" is currently being serialized and is very popular. Readers who want to read related content, please go there.
Wilder's gaze lingered on the first two options for a moment.
In the end, he chose the second one.
After all, he couldn't kill kobolds forever.
The popular novel "Kobold's Heavy Addiction" is currently being serialized. Readers who wish to read related content, please go there.
Wilder stared at the second option, a thought flickering in his mind.
Unlock: [Attribute Boost]
(2 extra points available for allocation)
He stared at Zhili for a moment, his mind racing.
+2
[Intelligence]: 17
As the numbers changed, he felt a surge of magical power welling up within him, flowing through his bloodstream.
If the feeling just now was one of fullness, then this feeling is one of surging energy.
Upgrade complete!
At that moment, Gru's voice came from outside the forest—
"Little guy, aren't you done yet? Even if you peed a river, you should be done by now, right?"
"I have an upset stomach!" Wilder yelled back. "Wait a minute!"
His inner magical power surged, and his heart was filled with excitement. He couldn't wait to try and compress his spellcasting speed to just a few seconds.
He drew his staff from his waist and raised it above his head.
He slowly channeled his mana into the tree spirit crystal on the staff, beginning to outline the spell's structure for the [Greasy Spell].
Before the upgrade, it takes him six seconds to prepare a level one spell.
If I'm not mistaken—
The surging magical power flowed smoothly and fluidly along the path in his sea of consciousness, carrying a hint of ferocity.
"one."
"two."
Before the words were even finished, the emerald crystal suddenly lit up, and the spell was ready.
Two seconds!
As expected, it was shortened by a full four seconds.
Awesome!
Wilder canceled the spellcasting and began to sketch out the second-level spell, Mirror Image.
"one."
"two."
"three."
"Four!"
The tree spirit crystal lit up again.
It was also shortened by four seconds.
At this moment, Wilder's hands began to tremble slightly with excitement.
It wasn't because of "two seconds" or "four seconds," but because he had a special spell he hadn't tried yet.
If these spells are all four seconds shorter than before...
What about spells that originally only required four seconds of preparation time?
【The Crazy Crown】
This level 2 bewitching spell, possibly due to its extremely high charm value, had a casting time of only four seconds before being upgraded.
come on.
He raised the staff a little higher with a sense of ceremony.
The surging and restless magical power within his body flowed into the crystal.
He began to recall the spell structure of the [Crown of Madness], preparing to sketch it out...
Ok?
He froze for a moment.
My mind went completely blank.
Its magical structure is not present in the sea of consciousness.
Before he could figure out what was going on, a faint green light dazzled him.
Look up again—
The translucent tree spirit crystal at the top of the staff had somehow begun to emit a dazzling green light.
His heart skipped a beat.
Is it...
Is everything ready?
His gaze swept across the branches in the forest, and he then waved his staff, pointing to an unidentified bird perched on a branch.
The bird paused for a moment, then suddenly pecked its companion hard with its beak.
"Chirp chirp chirp—"
The two birds flapped their wings and flew away.
Wilder was completely stunned.
This is clearly the "Crazy Crown".
Instantaneous.
There was no time to prepare.
Even more incredibly, there wasn't even a spell structure left.
It was as if the spell was already gathering power within the crystal the moment he had a thought.
What's going on?
Don't spells necessarily rely on spell formulas to be produced?
In a daze, a fragmented text he had seen at a Dharma Master's event a few days ago flashed through his mind—
[The structure of these techniques is for beginners...]
