Chapter 199: Upgrade! Upgrade!... No more upgrade?
The first day.
"Has Gretel started meditating?"
"No, I'm still writing and doing calculations..."
the next day.
"Have you started meditating?"
"No, he is still writing..."
The third day.
"Did you meditate?"
"No, he asked for another knife of paper..."
Dr. Carlisle asked no more questions.
Changing the meditation method is a very serious and important matter. Many magicians will try their best to adjust their mood and prepare themselves before taking this step.
There are those who bathe and change clothes and sleep for three days and nights, there are those who relax while fishing in the sea breeze, there are those who go to indescribable places that are indescribable...
Back then, Master Carlisle asked for a piece of magic equipment from his mentor, and traveled hundreds of miles to kill the enemy who had insulted his sister. There was revenge, and there was resentment.
In comparison, it couldn't be more normal to lock yourself in a room and write calculations and use up two dollars of paper in three days.
Archbishop Carlisle wasn't worried about Gretel being too distracted from his duties, he was only worried that Gretel was too tight and couldn't find his condition... Gretel didn't even tear up the paper! He laid out every piece of paper neatly,
Make a pile!
Gretel did not feel that he was too nervous. He sat at the table, writing and writing, or rather copying the contents of "Advanced Medical Mathematics". Discussions, formulas, charts, exercises...
Copying and copying, the lectures he had listened to in college, the questions he had done, and the insights he gained while studying were all integrated bit by bit. Unknowingly, Gretel had returned to the first semester of his freshman year, when he had just finished the exam.
status.
It was also the pinnacle of his mathematics level in his previous life.
With this peak state, Grete worked non-stop to move towards the newly acquired meditation method. It only took him one day to calculate the curve of the meditation shell, and another day to calculate the positions of the filter and the nozzle hole.
.Then, he finally had enough to eat and drink, and applied for retreat.
"Meditation room?
The Mage Tower has a dedicated meditation room, which provides magicians with a safe, undisturbed, energy type-selectable meditation environment with high energy concentration, which is more suitable for magicians to upgrade.
The junior meditation room is on the third floor, with 100 contribution points per day, and is suitable for level 1-4 magicians; the intermediate meditation room is on the 7th floor, with 1,000 contribution points per day, and is suitable for level 5-9 magicians..."
The low-level mage who was responsible for doing odd jobs in the mage tower and handling chores for the bosses paused and looked at Gretel meaningfully. The implication is that you shouldn't use the high-level meditation room, right?
Grete really didn't need it. In fact, he was counting his fingers in his mind, trying to calculate how many contribution points he had:
The X-ray article, three contribution points; the bat pathogenicity article, 30; the B-ultrasound article, three;
The recently published papers, the one on sterility principles and the two on microscopy, are all one contribution point; the one on dysentery is 50 points; plus the subsidy from the Magic Council after registration, one per month for a first-level magician
Contribution points, 5 points per month for a first-level arcanist...
No matter how you calculate it, it's not even close to 100 points.
Sad.
"Hey, can the meditation room be rented by the hour?"
"..."
The low-level magician who led the way stared at him dumbfounded. Rent a meditation room by the hour? Rent a meditation room by the hour? Except for the real rich, renting a meditation room is all about breaking through barriers. Who wants to be interrupted in the middle of meditation? Brother, you really
Are you sure you want to rent by the hour?!
Grete knew from the look on his face that it would definitely not work. He hesitated for a moment, and decidedly chose the latter between "just retreat in the guest room" and "swipe his face and let Dr. Carlisle make the decision and waive the bill."
Anyway, now he is under the control of Thunder Horn!
He is willing to pay for all the meditation methods, but he will not even be willing to pay for the meditation room!
Well, if you really don't want to, the worst case scenario is to ask him to borrow money first! The phlogiston paper has been approved, and 100 contribution points is not enough!
If it still doesn't work, just write a few more papers, apply for research projects, and then advance the project funds to upgrade...
Grete made a list of one, two or three options in his mind and rushed away. After listening to his request patiently, Master Carlisle did not say that he was willing to pay the bill or borrow money, but proposed a new plan:
"Actually, I think you can see how many contribution points you have..."
Is there any need to look at it? However, Master Carlisle waved his hand, and the disciple next to him - also a fifth-level magician - had already brought a magic circle. Grete quickly nodded to him to thank him, took off his badge,
Put your doubts on the magic circle:
"Ehhhhhhhhhh?"
In the center of the badge, on the dark background, there are still two bronze stars unchanged. However, at the edge of the badge, a white ring, two white rings, three white rings slowly rise...
Four rings?
Ah~~~The fourth ring, you are one less than the fifth ring...
But the fourth ring is also very high! The Magic Council’s assessment of the arcane level is basically related to the magician’s research ability and ability to master arcane knowledge. Generally speaking, a fourth-ring arcanist means that he can
Master the fourth level magic.
In other words, he will not encounter obstacles until he reaches level 7 or even level 8 magician.
Why did I reach the fourth ring all of a sudden? How many rewards did you calculate for me for all the things I submitted before? Gretel was stunned. And in his shocked eyes, the second line lit up on the magic circle.
number:
1592.
1592 contribution points...
Use it to rent a junior meditation room for half a month at a time without any pressure...
Seeing the surprised look on Gretel's face, Carlisle leaned back, crossed his fingers, and silently admired his expression. It's been half a month, it's been half a month! Did you just realize that?!
After other magicians submitted their papers, they wished they could live in the Magic Review Department and swipe their magic badges every hour or even every minute. Gretel, on the other hand, stayed in his guest room for half a month!
Someone would bring him meals, take away his dirty clothes, take a shower, etc., and the guest room would have its own bathroom. He would really be able to stay at home, and if the preparations hadn't been completed, the tip of his nose would probably not have poked out.
Open the door.
Master Carlisle has gone all the way to this day. Every master who is above level 10 that he has met has the perseverance to forget about food and sleep when necessary. But Gretel can have such concentration when he is only level 2 - especially Gretel.
From beginning to end, I was not practicing magic or doing magic experiments. I was just burying my head at the table, writing and doing calculations...
Now that he was rich, Grete gave up all his thoughts and left. He swiped his magic badge and entered the meditation room. As soon as he sat down, the crystal pillars on the wall lit up:
"Dear Master, hello. Welcome to the meditation room. It is recommended to measure your mental strength first so that you can track the progress of meditation and understand your progress~~~"
Huh?
Have you measured your mental strength?
"Is it free?"
"Dear Master, the rental of the meditation room includes the cost of the mental power assessment, please feel free to use it."
...The 100 contribution points spent on this day were quite worthwhile. At least, Grete had never seen this kind of measurement function anywhere else. However, Grete did not activate this function immediately, but asked cautiously.
:
"Can others see the strength of my mental power?"
"The meditation room is managed by the tower spirit. Except for the legendary mage of Thunder Horn, no one else has the authority to access it."
The legendary mage... If the legendary mage wants to kill him, he can just hold him down with one finger, without leaking his data...
Grete was relieved. He followed the voice in the crystal column, concentrated his energy, and tried his best to attack it. The surface of the crystal fluctuated, changing from colorless and transparent to light red, from light crimson to pink, and then to fiery red. It paused for a moment.
, and turned into cinnabar color. Finally, a number was fixed in the center of the crystal:
65.
There was no explanation, no explanation, and no comparison. Grete shrugged, wrote down the number, and meditated. He had been fully prepared before, and at this time he was just following the calculated function, focusing on it, concentrating his mental power, and meditating on the outer edge of the meditation environment.
Build a protective shell.
The origin of the coordinates, the X axis, the Y axis, the Z axis... the lines circle and stretch to build the pipeline, the bulges on the outer edge of the pipeline, the filters inside the pipeline, the holes where impurities are sprayed out...
The environment in the meditation room is rich and quiet. I didn’t feel it when I came in. After starting to meditate, Grete sighed: These 100 contribution points are really not in vain!
To be rich means that the concentration of elements in the room is indeed higher than that of the external environment. When the mental energy is lacking, it can be supplemented from the outside world at any time; to be quiet, it means that the elements in the room are not restless, not even lively, and will not
It causes interference and damage to mental strength. It is like sitting in an orchard in autumn. When you are thirsty or hungry, you can always have replenishment, but you are not afraid of the fruit falling and hitting you on the head.
Gretel meditated selflessly. The protective layer outside the meditation environment continued to extend half a circle...one and a half circles, two circles...the lines were smooth, the curvature was uniform, and the inner wall was a smooth spiral, building a protective layer around his meditation environment.
, like a perfect conch, pregnant with smooth and flawless pearls.
Until Gretel's mental power reached its limit and when he opened his eyes, the protective layer constructed by his mental power had already rotated around the core three times.
When tested again, the surface of the crystal was red to black, and the numbers that popped up on the crystal column were twice as much as before the meditation method was changed:
138.
"138?"
On the top floor of the mage tower, Master Dikal looked at the numbers displayed by the tower spirit and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"He's so far beyond the advancement level, why hasn't he been upgraded to a third-level mage?"
