Wizard: My magic facility can be upgraded!

Chapter 1 Facility Binding Successful

A full moon hangs over a vast, black sea, where a massive wooden ship floats.

The bottom of the huge ship's cabin was divided into dozens of narrow and cramped rooms, with some hay scattered haphazardly for people to lie down in.

A damp, musty smell filled my nasal cavity, irritating my lungs and triggering a violent cough.

Li Ang was awakened from his sleep by coughing.

It's as if he's traveled through time.

The moldy hay crunched as it was crushed, and a jumble of chaotic memories flooded my mind.

Leon Carlsen, the son of a minor nobleman in Carter Village.

They weren't extremely wealthy, but they were still relatively well-off.

A week ago, I was diagnosed with wizarding talent and thus boarded this giant ship bound for the Wizard Tower in Riley City.

This is a ship controlled by a wizard, which regularly transports "qualified individuals" from various places to the Wizard Tower.

"Cough, cough cough."

My lungs felt itchy and painful, as if they were being rubbed up and down by bristles.

When Li Ang's father was found to have the aptitude to become a wizard, he was overjoyed because Li Ang had not let him down after spending all his family's wealth to secure the testing opportunity.

He spent several gold coins to successfully bribe the officials and get to the Carlson family, a minor noble family without wizarding blood, for testing.

Even more surprisingly, two of Carlson’s servants, who were the same age as Leon, were also found to have wizarding potential.

Three wizards were detected in the same village, and they were all from the Carlson family!

Everyone believed that the Carlson family was about to rise to prominence again, and even when Li Ang himself boarded the ship with his two attendants, he was immersed in that bright prospect.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as expected...

"Knock knock—"

A burly man suddenly appeared at the doorway and began frantically pounding on the doorframe with his large, rough hands.

"You Carlson bastard, what are you still doing here? Didn't you hear the wizard's assembly order?!"

"Kavi..."

That man was one of the two attendants that Li Ang had brought a week ago.

Li Ang instinctively called out his name, and then watched as Kavi's fist came hurtling towards him.

"Bang!"

Already weakened, Li Ang took a punch and gasped for breath.

"You bastard, I'm warning you one last time. I'm now the wizard's appointed vice-leader. If you dare call me by my name again, you're dead! Bah!"

After saying that, the burly Kavi slammed the door and left.

Li Ang clutched his stomach, gasping for breath, and forced himself to stand up and walk toward the deck, enduring the pain.

The wizard issued a summons, and anyone who did not arrive immediately would be punished.

"The vice-leader appointed by the wizard..."

Recalling Kavi's arrogant demeanor just now, Li Ang felt a deep-seated disgust.

Kavi and Matthew were originally noble servants of the Li Ang family.

The original owner believed that he treated them very well, and even ignored the rules between nobles and commoners when eating, chatting and laughing at the same table with the three of them.

Even the chance for them to be detected as wizards was something the Carlson family had to pay for by going bankrupt.

However, the original owner never imagined that there would always be a gap between social classes, and that he and these two could never truly be brothers.

After boarding the wizard's ship, Matthew and Kavi were surprisingly chosen by the wizard to be the head and deputy head of the group of prospective apprentices. They changed their previous respectful demeanor and often punched and kicked Li Ang.

The lower cabins where they lived were too damp and moldy, and Li Ang was frequently beaten, so he contracted tuberculosis, lost hope of living, and died of depression at the bottom of the ship.

"Cough cough." Li Ang coughed incessantly as he walked.

Although I have transmigrated, the original owner's lung disease does not seem to have been cured because of the transmigration.

If this coughing continues, I probably won't live more than a few days after I just transmigrated here.

Need treatment...

But where could he find a doctor to treat his illness on this boundless ocean? Li Ang felt a bit overwhelmed.

Just then, a ray of moonlight shone on the ground before him. A wooden ladder leading to the deck appeared before him, so he began to climb it.

This huge wooden ship has a four-story structure. The rooms on the bottom floor are all cramped, dark and damp, and are where the dozens of trainees live. The upper floors have only a few rooms, where the chief wizard in charge of the trainees and his entourage live.

Li Ang came to the deck and saw that there was only one huge mast on the ship, with three pure white sails towed by it.

"Such a huge ship, can it really be propelled by just three sails..." Li Ang mused. "It must use some kind of witchcraft to power the sails, thus propelling the ship forward?"

Looking up, the canvas seemed to be automatically gathering wind power.

Just then, a panel suddenly appeared in front of Li Ang's eyes.

【Fengxing Canvas: lv0】

[Status: Bindable]

[Binding Cost: 1 Spirit Points]

"Holy crap?"

It's hanging up!

Li Ang coughed several times in excitement, calmed himself down and studied the panel carefully. The instructions on how to use the panel also came to mind at this moment.

In summary, his awakened cheat ability is the "facility upgrade panel," which allows him to bind facilities and upgrade them after meeting certain conditions.

Moreover, only with his confirmation can others use the facility effects of the facilities he has bound; otherwise, even if others occupy the facility, they can only use its most basic functions.

Therefore, once bound, unless he personally authorizes it, this facility is just an ordinary facility to others.

Is this a farming-themed cheat/golden finger...?

Farming seems too slow for him to solve his current situation, especially since he's still on a ship and doesn't even have a field.

Okay, let's bind it first.

"Confirm binding".

[Binding successful]

【Windy Canvas: Current Level lv0】

[Level 1 Effect: Air gathering and dispersal ability +10%, wind element magic concentration in the environment +10%]

[Upgrade Requirements and Costs: Requires 1 Magic Star in the Spirit World and consumes 5 Spirit Points]

Just as the system announced the successful binding, Li Ang suddenly felt as if he had gained an inexplicable control over the three sails, and his mind also gained some knowledge about the facility.

"Wind-Gathering Canvas" is a type of canvas decorated with wind-gathering magic circles.

Through the wind-gathering array, the canvas can gather and disperse wind power in a small area, thereby propelling the ship forward.

"I see..."

Li Ang tried to manipulate it to gather wind, and a gust of wind actually emerged around the canvas, causing the entire wizard ship to rock violently.

Li Ang: "!"

After being bound to the facility, it was able to work according to his wishes.

As I recall, when we first boarded the ship, that eccentric wizard said something like this: "This ship is composed of multiple intricate magical arrays. Don't move around recklessly, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."

So, if I work hard, is it possible for me to tie up the entire ship?

At that point, the ship will be completely under his command!

Thinking about this, Li Ang suddenly felt a little restless.
