Chapter 130
“Creak.”
The sound of the main gate opening startled Luo Qing from his contemplation. He turned his head to look.
“Dad, Mom?”
Luo Qing put away the blueprint, looking at his parents with a smile, the corners of his eyes moistening slightly.
Family reunions are always moving, and in this apocalyptic world, a reunion with family members all safe and sound is even more touching. The happiness and satisfaction in the hearts of both parties involved goes without saying.
That night, after having dinner with his grandfather and returning to his room, Luo Qing carefully took out the blueprint and studied the spell model on it with a magnifying glass.
The blueprint was as large as a newspaper, and the dense spell model was very small and crammed together, requiring a magnifying glass to see clearly.
However, when Luo Qing excitedly began to study the spell model, he was immediately doused with cold water.
The spell models on it were all very complex, yet they seemed to possess a magical power, instantly draining all of Luo Qing’s energy and making him dizzy.
Luo Qing himself had a certain understanding of spell models, and in this instant, he realized that the level of the spell models on the blueprint was too high, so high that it was completely beyond his comprehension.
It was like him, a preschooler, suddenly encountering middle school knowledge.
They were all composed of Chinese characters and Arabic numerals, but when broken down, Luo Qing couldn’t… no, when broken down, they were all unrecognizable, let alone combined together.
Luo Qing fell silent.
It was like having a mountain of treasure but being unable to enter.
At this moment, Luo Qing thought of Fang Bai, thought of the spells Fang Bai cast, and a thought popped into his mind.
“Can Fang Bai understand this?”
Luo Qing put down the blueprint, folded it casually, lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.
He had obtained a gold mine, but he couldn’t dig it out.
“Knock, knock, click.”
After two knocks on the door, the person outside twisted open the door to Luo Qing’s bedroom.
“Dad.”
Luo Qing didn’t look, and directly called out. After Luo’s father responded, he sat down on the edge of Luo Qing’s bed, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
“It’s the apocalypse.”
“Yeah.”
“We, father and son, have to protect your mother and my father.”
“Yeah.”
Suddenly, Luo Qing said,
“Dad, that Fang Bai from Yi Hao Village saved my life twice.”
Luo’s father was slightly silent. He didn’t ask if Luo Qing had encountered danger, nor did he ask what the danger was. He just nodded directly.
“Then we have to thank him.”
“I want to go work with him. Putting aside repaying the favor for now, I mainly feel that I can learn a lot by staying with him.”
“Will he take you?”
“Isn’t he recruiting mages? I’m pretty good at this, at least I can meet Fang Bai’s requirements. It shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Luo’s father nodded upon hearing this.
“Of course it’s good if you can join Yi Hao Village. After all, although he saved you, it can be considered a kind of connection.”
That night, Luo Qing and his father talked for a long, long time.
And at this very moment, many people who were fully allocating their attribute points to Mental Power were desperately studying spell models.
The interview was tomorrow. Mage, this was their only hope. If they couldn’t grasp the opportunity placed in front of them, then they would probably only be able to be used as Elemental Material Appraisers for the rest of their lives.
In the same wilderness, Fang Bai’s main body returned to the underground to meditate after going out, while his projection was outside studying the Elemental Materials on the monster’s corpse.
This monster was strange. Its exoskeleton, including its bladed limbs, were all Elemental Materials, but like Elemental Magic Plants, the elements inside were dense and solid, unlike the Elemental Materials of ordinary magical beasts, which would have some spell nodes remaining inside.
Fang Bai didn’t know how this situation was formed, but he found that this kind of Elemental Material was of better quality and had higher elemental conductivity. Of course, this was only limited to the gold element.
Because this was a Gold Elemental Material, and all the elemental power inside was gold element, so the gold element could flow freely within it, while other elements were unable to move an inch.
In addition, during tonight’s cultivation, Wang Kai, who had the fastest cultivation progress, found that some changes had occurred in his body. He seemed to be able to store some earth elemental power. This earth elemental power was under his control, usually dispersed and integrated into the muscles and bones of his body. With a thought, Wang Kai could condense it.
It seemed that only Wang Kai could control this elemental power, and even Fang Bai couldn’t control it with his Mental Power.
When this elemental power was stored inside his body, Wang Kai’s stamina was much better. It should be replacing stamina consumption. In addition, he could also choose to consume this earth elemental power when using skills.
As for whether there were other functions, it was not clear yet and needed further research.
An uneventful night passed like this. The next morning, Fang Bai received a list.
There were more than thirty people on the list. This was the total number of people who came to sign up for the interview, far fewer than Fang Bai had expected.
Fang Bai once again felt the high threshold for becoming a mage.
This was in the modern era with compulsory education and the apocalypse with attribute panel allocation. With the support of these two conditions, logically speaking, meeting the requirements for mage job change should be quite easy. But even so, there were only more than thirty people. You know, there were at least a few thousand people in the Shen Shan Town area.
Of course, it was also possible that a considerable number of people did not come, but were waiting for those who came to pass on the job change method, so that they could obtain the job change method without joining Yi Hao Village.
After all, there were always many smart people in this world, and they liked to show their cleverness and wit everywhere.
Fang Bai was not surprised by this, nor did he object. Instead, he locked onto a name on the list.
“Luo Qing? Didn’t he come back very late yesterday? How did he master this spell structure in such a short time?”
“He should have some foundation. Yesterday, in order to force the magical beast to reveal itself, he summoned a gust of wind out of thin air. That should also be a spell structure.”
“Oh, he has a foundation. But to be able to master a new spell structure in such a short time, his talent is also quite good.”
After Fang Bai finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, and then said,
“Bring them all in.”
Wang Kai nodded, took the list from Fang Bai’s hand and walked straight out. Not long after, accompanied by a burst of noise, a group of people walked in from the gate.
When they saw the fire willows, the Elemental Magic Plants, and the Fire Bulls in this area, they were slightly surprised. When they saw Fang Bai, they immediately quieted down and became much more serious.
Fang Bai glanced around, memorizing all thirty-nine faces, including Luo Qing’s, one by one. Then he took out a stack of A4 paper and said,
“Welcome, everyone. Thank you for your trust and support. No matter where you came from, no matter what your previous jobs were, you will all have only one profession in the future: Mage.
And first of all, let me introduce myself.”
Fang Bai bowed slightly, an elegant and composed demeanor naturally emanating from him.
“Hello everyone, I am Mage… Fang Bai.”
