Chapter 190 Nature Spirit, Enchantment [Transcendent] (Minor Revision)
Liu Diewu explained earnestly, "For example, the No. 1 cave where you conduct seed selection is mainly for lower-level apprentice monsters, making it the best training ground for mid-level apprentices."
Cave 2 is mainly inhabited by monsters of intermediate and advanced apprentice levels, and it is a training ground frequently visited by our advanced apprentice trainees.
The No. 3 dungeon covers a larger area, has a more complex terrain, and is home to a considerable number of Iron-level monsters, making it the most suitable training ground for advanced Iron-level students.
Of course, in addition to these underground caves, the military academy will issue various combat missions from time to time, with particularly generous rewards, and the danger and difficulty are also quite high.
For example, one of my previous tasks was to clean up spatial fragments.
"Spatial debris?"
Fang Zhou's eyes flickered, showing a hint of interest.
He had heard Instructor Lu Hu and Instructor Su Xinyan mention the existence of spatial fragments a few times before, but he didn't know exactly what they were.
Seeing the eager looks in the eyes of the three members of the Ark, Liu Diewu smiled slightly and continued to explain: "The space fragments are some cracks that inevitably occur during the fusion of our Blue Star and the mythical world."
Due to differences in energy levels, the stability of space also varies. Space fragments that appear on our blue planet are often strange and unusual corners of mythical worlds.
Those with weaker energy levels may only be at the apprentice level.
Those with high energy levels are comparable to the abyss where demons reside.
Whenever space debris is detected on Earth, in order to prevent the organisms within it from causing destructive impacts on the surrounding environment and to promptly exploit the various resources hidden within, the Human Alliance military organizes elite survey teams to clean up the space debris in a timely manner.
Some time ago, a spatial fragment appeared in the suburbs of Haicheng, and its energy level was only at the apprentice level.
Haicheng Military Academy naturally wouldn't miss this excellent training opportunity. They immediately organized several survey teams from among our second-year students who had reached the apprentice level and sent them into the space fragment.
I also gained a lot from this mission to clear out spatial fragments, sensing an opportunity to break through bottlenecks and advance to the Black Iron rank.
Only then did he rush back to the military academy.
"My God, such an amazing place exists?!"
Bai Xiaochun asked with some envy, "Senior Sister Butterfly Dance, what's inside the spatial fragments?"
With a nostalgic smile on her face, Liu Diewu said, "Most of the spatial fragments come from various corners of the mythical world. The size of the spaces, the species that live in them, and the resources they contain are all different, even worlds apart."
I was quite lucky; the space fragment I explored this time was a secret realm filled with natural forests.
The indigenous people are a group of gentle, non-combatant flower fairies.
"Flower Fairy!"
Meng Hongzhuang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her eyes instantly turning into stars.
"I heard from the military academy instructors that these little elves are very rare creatures that belong to the lawful good alignment."
Although its individual strength is very weak, it can provide powerful skill buffs to other creatures with natural attributes.
Therefore, in the mythological world, they never appear alone, but rather form contracts with powerful creatures of natural attributes, living in symbiosis.
"Senior Sister Butterfly Dance, is that so?"
Liu Diewu nodded and affirmed, "That's right!"
That's why I said I was very lucky this time.
Being able to get up close and personal with these darlings of nature, the flower fairies, and even receive their petals as a blessing.
On another note, it's fortunate that the spatial fragment where these flower fairies were located landed within the territory of our Dragon Summer Federation.
Once they are confirmed to be harmless, according to the Human Union Civilization Salvation Law, they can automatically obtain citizenship on Earth.
Help us fight against the demons of the abyss.
If these flower fairies were to fall deep into the battlefield of the Demon Kingdom of Calamity, having lost the protection of their natural allies, they would likely face total annihilation and become food for the demons if discovered.
For a moment, Liu Diewu's face was filled with relief and joy.
After a moment of silence, Meng Hongzhuang said with a dreamy look, "Flower fairies, I've heard that each one is a great treasure in the eyes of natural creatures."
"I wish I could make a contract with them!"
Liu Diewu snapped out of her daze and laughed, "It's not impossible, is it?"
Since this small group of flower fairies landed on the outskirts of Haicheng, they were naturally taken care of by the Haicheng Military Academy.
As promising cadets for the military academy, perhaps we'll have the chance to see these adorable kids again someday.
The group chatted for a long time about the space fragments and the flower fairies.
Seeing that Liu Diewu's eyes were fixed on the Evergreen Fruit on the table, Fang Zhou knew that his senior sister was eager to consume this natural treasure, so he considerately took his leave.
Then, Meng Hongzhuang led Fang Zhou and Bai Xiaochun for a short stroll around the Natural Sciences Professional Association before heading to the cafeteria, driven by hunger.
Although Bai Xiaochun said no, her body betrayed her.
She was unusually generous and treated everyone to a meal, spending a whopping 6 contribution points to order a deluxe buffet for three people, which could be considered a small celebration among the members of the necromancer support group.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Fang Zhou casually gave his two assistants a few more words of advice, urging them to cultivate diligently, try their best to keep up with his pace, and not fall too far behind him.
Although they passed the military academy's seed selection and were successfully listed as seed students, the next step was the recruit competition a month later.
Even a fine steed cannot leap ten steps in one bound.
The success of a crossbow-wielding horse can be achieved through perseverance.
Fangzhou didn't want them to develop an arrogant and conceited attitude.
After speaking to his two assistants with a serious expression, Fang Zhou watched them head towards the skills training field, then stretched and went back to his dormitory to rest.
On his way back, he sent a message to Instructor Su Xinyan on his personal terminal, wanting to ask Instructor Su for recommendations on the enchantment of his Seed Medal.
Having received no reply, Fangzhou lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
During the apprenticeship stage, the best way for a professional to recover their mental and even spiritual fatigue is to sleep.
In the afternoon, Fang Zhou woke up feeling refreshed and immediately checked his personal terminal, where Instructor Su had already replied.
[Ordinary Apprentice] (Ark): Instructor Su, I now have one free enchanting privilege, which I can use on the [Sea City Military Academy Seed Medal No. 1]. What affixes would you recommend for my enchantment?
【The Undead Mage is Invincible】(Su Xinyan): "I was just about to tell you this."
I have two suggestions. The first suggestion is to use the enchantment affix "Transcendence," which can store some mental energy for future use, thereby enhancing your overall abilities.
The second suggestion is the enchantment affix "Contract," which can slightly enhance your summoning skills, slightly increasing the quantity and quality of summoned creatures, thereby improving your combat capabilities.
If I remember correctly, the No. 1 Seed Medal you have should be of excellent quality (green), with a very good base, and it's also a rare rare item that can be directly enchanted and enhanced.
Regardless of which enchantment affix you choose, you can use it to become a Bronze-level professional.
Consider whether you choose "transcendence" or "contract".
Don't worry too much. Once you reach the Bronze rank and can use green-quality equipment, as long as you have enough materials, I can enchant it for you for free.
After carefully reading Instructor Su Xinyan's reply, Fang Zhou sat on the bed and pondered for a moment before making a decision.
The "Contract" affix can currently only be used on the "Summon Skeleton" skill to increase one's own combat power.
As one continues to learn, grow, and deduce, summoning skills become only a small part of one's combat strength.
He will continuously build and improve the necromancer's skill tree, including skeletal skills, soul skills, and so on.
Leaving aside distant examples, let's talk about the unknown information the skeleton clone is currently analyzing from the zombies every day. This innate skill, once completed, will bring an explosive increase in power to both his main body and the clone.
In this case, the scope of application of the "contract" affix becomes very narrow.
In contrast, the "Transcendent" affix can directly increase mental energy reserves and has a wider range of applications.
Not only can it enhance endurance in intense battles, but it can also indirectly increase the speed of skill training in daily practice, which is undoubtedly more urgently needed by Ark.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the "contract" affix is weak or impractical.
Its practicality is beyond doubt, given that it was specifically chosen and recommended by Instructor Su Xinyan.
Fangzhou simply considered his own actual situation and, under the current circumstances, preferred the versatile affix "Transcendence" over the "Contract" affix, which could only amplify summoning skills.
Thinking of this, Fangzhou sighed greedily.
Ultimately, it comes down to his own lack of strength and equipment.
Currently, only the [Haicheng Military Academy Seed Medal No. 1] can be enchanted and enhanced.
According to Instructor Su Xinyan, once he is able to use more high-quality green equipment, he can enchant it with any words he wants, such as Transcendence, Contract, and Sorrowful Heroism!
After making up his mind, Fang Zhou opened his personal terminal and replied to Su Xinyan with a message.
[Ordinary Apprentice] (Ark): Instructor Su Xinyan, I'm preparing to choose the [Transcendent] affix for enchantment. What do I need to do?
To Fang Zhou's surprise, Su Xinyan replied to him almost immediately.
【Undead Mage is Invincible】(Su Xinyan): Go to the logistics department this afternoon to collect the materials for the 【Transcendent】 enchantment affix, then bring your Seed No. 1 badge to me, and I'll take care of the rest.
Instructor Su Xinyan is really reliable!
A relaxed smile appeared on Fangzhou's face as he replied to another message.
[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): Okay, Instructor Su, I'll come find you after class this afternoon. Thank you so much!
[The Necromancer is Invincible] (Su Xinyan): (>w<)
After discussing the enchantment affixes with Su Xinyan, Fangzhou crossed out another task in his memo.
Just as he was about to pack up his supplies for the afternoon class, he suddenly remembered something and looked at his attribute panel.
Since purifying the core of the Desecrated Torch and comprehending the [Night Watch!] rune from the gaze of the World's Will,
Ark has always bound the World Rune [Night Watcher|] to the Summon Skeleton skill.
【Night Watchman!】The effect of reducing skill mental energy consumption played a significant role in the previous series of battles.
However, according to Fangzhou's estimation, after returning to the military academy and finishing the arena challenge, there shouldn't be any more frequent battles like the Dungeon Hunt in the short term.
It's a bit of a waste to keep the [Night Watchman!] world rune tied to the Summon Skeleton skill.
After all, thanks to Ark's tireless efforts, the proficiency of the Summon Skeleton skill had long been raised to the [Instinct] level, and no further special practice was needed.
His current focus of practice is on the [Soul Vision] skill, which he has only recently mastered.
Therefore, Ark naturally considered binding the [Night Watchman 1] World Rune to the [Soul Vision] skill.
In this way, the mental energy consumed when using [Soul Vision] will naturally be reduced to a certain extent.
Correspondingly, the efficiency of gaining proficiency through daily skill practice will also increase.
After confirming that he hadn't overlooked anything, Ark directly unlinked the [Night Watchman!] world rune from the Summon Skeleton skill on the attribute panel.
According to the rune description, he will be able to rebind it in 24 hours.
I checked the time; the afternoon's rivalry ceremony was fast approaching.
Fangzhou packed his belongings, left the dormitory, and headed towards the school history museum.
The Haicheng Military Academy History Museum is located in the core area of the military academy.
Looking up, Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, even though he had visited this place many times before.
The building in front of us is constructed with light gray stone and dark red bricks, which not only highlights the weight of history but also gives it a modern feel.
The interplay of light and shadow adds a touch of solemnity and mystery.
After pausing briefly outside the museum, Fang Zhou stepped inside.
The first thing that catches the eye is a wide central corridor, with portraits of past principals, outstanding alumni, and heroes who bravely sacrificed their lives in important battles hanging on the walls on both sides.
At the end of the corridor, a huge interactive electronic screen displays a 3D model of the military academy.
In front of this giant screen, Lu Hu's instructors and a group of promising trainees were already waiting.
Fang Zhou saluted Lu Hu and walked into the queue with his head held high.
