I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 124

Chapter 124

“Congratulations.”

Fang Bai said with a smile on his face.

For some reason, at this moment, a surge of joy welled up from the depths of Fang Bai’s heart. This joy suddenly made him realize that he wasn’t afraid of the emergence of other Mages. On the contrary, he longed for it!

Wang Kai didn’t possess the talent to become a Mage. Even if he learned meditation and possessed Mental Power, he would only be a Knight, or rather, a decent Knight.

When Fang Bai realized this, he was filled with disappointment. He hadn’t felt anything before, but when he saw Ding Shan master a Spell Structure and cast a Minor Spell, his heart was filled with joy.

Fang Bai yearned for a like-minded person to exchange ideas with. Wang Kai, whom he had personally trained, couldn’t fulfill this role, but Ding Shan, who had joined later, seemed to show a glimmer of such potential.

“You’ve already figured it out, that’s amazing.”

Fang Bai said sincerely. Ding Shan shook his head in response.

“I’ve made a little progress, but it’s still far from perfect. I need to keep working hard.”

Ding Shan said, but the smile on his face showed that he was in a good mood.

After a while, Ding Shan left and continued his research.

The emotions in Fang Bai’s heart lingered for a long time.

“So this is how it feels to encounter a talented Mage.”

Fang Bai murmured. At this moment, a sense of longing surged in his heart.

“If only there were Mages of equal standing to exchange ideas with during research… How wonderful that would be.”

From the moment he met Ding Shan, Fang Bai’s heart was completely moved. At this moment, he fell into deep thought.

Fang Bai suddenly didn’t want to conduct his research alone anymore.

Just like researchers, the world of Mages was definitely not a world of individual heroism.

Of course, critical breakthroughs might be made by one genius after another, but the foundation for these breakthroughs was definitely built by countless researchers who paved the way, one after another. This was how geniuses achieved their breakthroughs.

More importantly, Fang Bai wanted companions, companions to conduct research together.

Thinking of this, Fang Bai looked at Wang Kai with a mixture of frustration and disappointment.

Wang Kai: “???”

Wang Kai’s lack of talent in magic made Fang Bai question something. Shouldn’t everyone around the protagonist be geniuses?

Shouldn’t they all be able to provide significant help to the protagonist? Why was Wang Kai’s Mage talent so poor?

So, as expected, I’m not the protagonist. Then where can I find talented people?

Fang Bai’s mind wandered, and gradually, he found the answer.

“If I don’t have them around me, I’ll go find them outside. There are still thousands of survivors in Shen Shan Town. Even if geniuses are one in ten thousand, there should be at least one in Shen Shan Town, right?

And now I have an advantage. I’m the only Mage in Shen Shan Town so far, and my reputation is huge.

Theoretically, if I were to issue a public announcement saying that I’m selecting people to train as Mages, the whole of Shen Shan Town would be in an uproar. Maybe everyone in Shen Shan Town would come rushing over, and I could select those with good Mage talent from among them!”

Fang Bai’s eyes gradually lit up as an idea formed.

What was Mage talent?

Learning ability! Research mindset!

Fang Bai immediately put down what he was doing and started to brainstorm. After a while, he had an idea and immediately wrote on a piece of paper:

“Mage Job Change Requirements:

1. Ten Mental Power attribute points.

2. Learn and cast the following Minor Spell within one day.

Minor Spell: Flame, nine Spell Nodes.

Spell Structure as follows: (0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 19), (0, 4, 1).

Spell Pathway connections as follows: (0, 0, 0) to (0, 1, 19), (0, 4, 1), (0, 4, 1) to…

Those who learn this within one day from the issuance of this notice can participate in the interview. Those who pass the interview can change their job to Mage.

——————-Respectfully, Mage Fang Bai!”

Fang Bai glanced at the sky. It was just as Bai Qing finished his cultivation. Fang Bai immediately handed him the paper in his hand.

“Village Chief, this…”

Bai Qing was slightly startled when he saw the contents of the paper and looked up at Fang Bai.

“Tomorrow morning, I want the contents of this paper to spread throughout Shen Shan Town. I want them to be able to get this paper anywhere!”

“Village Chief, you’re…”

“Bai Qing, you can try it too.”

Bai Qing was slightly shaken upon hearing this and immediately nodded.

“Yes.”

After Bai Qing left, watching him take the paper to be carved and printed, Fang Bai felt a sense of openness in his chest. Thinking back to his previous secretive behavior, he suddenly felt petty. His perspective had been too narrow.

“Mage? A Mage is a researcher.

If I insist on researching alone, sooner or later, there will be a more talented Mage than me in the world.

Since I’ve already seized a valuable advantage, the first thing I should do is use this current advantage to continuously gather resources and start a snowball effect.

Only by starting the snowball now can I continuously expand my advantage, turning this current advantage into tenfold, or even a hundredfold!

Hiding and keeping things to myself will only allow others to quickly catch up!”

In Fang Bai’s view, talented Mages were the best resources, the top resources to help him start the snowball effect.

“How can I, collecting resources and researching alone, compare to ten talented Mages collecting resources and researching together?

Within the same timeframe, the resources and knowledge gathered by a group of talented Mages would definitely make me stronger!”

At this moment, Fang Bai completely understood. He immediately closed his eyes and began to conceive the interview questions.

Wang Xiong and Wang Kai finished their cultivation one after another. Wang Xiong left, while Wang Kai found a corner and continued to study the Spider Demon’s Spell Model. This was the task Fang Bai had assigned him.

Fang Bai didn’t expect Wang Kai to achieve anything in magic. It would be good enough if he could familiarize himself with the Spider Demon’s Spell Model and continue to grow on the path of a Knight.

Night passed, and Fang Bai gradually had a set of interview questions in his hand.

Just like the questions on the announcement, Fang Bai didn’t know the specific difficulty. It wasn’t difficult for him at all. He could understand it just by glancing at it and thinking it through once. Ding Shan didn’t have any data, yet he could still use this Spell Structure…

“It shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Fang Bai shook his head slightly.

“If too many people come, I might have to use an on-site test to filter out some of them.”

Fang Bai thought as he looked at the test questions written on the paper, then shook his head slightly.

After Bai Qing’s overnight carving and printing, early the next morning, Fang Bai’s requirements were made into flyers and posters.

Posters were widely posted in the market area, and flyers were distributed to every survivor who entered the market area. In addition, teams of Field Operations members quickly headed towards the bases of the major factions and Shen Shan Town.

Their backpacks were filled with palm-sized flyers!

At the same time, the announcement Fang Bai had issued finally caused a huge stir in Shen Shan Town!
