I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 54

Chapter 54

“There’s nothing below!”

Fang Bai’s face darkened.

As he expected, the method for crafting spell scrolls was on the next page!

The next page was visible, but the text on it was blurry and jumbled. Fang Bai couldn’t understand it at all.

“Damn it, this is too perfect a cutoff, isn’t it?”

Fang Bai frowned, then shook his head, his Mental Power sinking into his mind as he looked at the black notebook.

“I’m afraid this isn’t just a notebook, or rather, it’s not just a notebook.

Judging by the handwriting and writing style on the first page, this should be the notes of a certain mage when he first started learning and researching spells. This period is mostly filled with questions and conjectures, and it appears immature.

Some of the handwriting should have been added and organized later. It should be that this mage reorganized the original notes and turned them into a mage inheritance.

This would explain the two types of handwriting in the notebook, one immature and one mature.”

Fang Bai looked at the end of the second page, at the text that was only half-written, and rubbed his temples.

“The information I sensed before said that the notebook’s energy was insufficient, and the amount of information was too large, so it couldn’t all be displayed. I need to find an energy source to input in order to continue revealing the rest.

It seems that if I want to see the following information, if I want to see the method of making spell scrolls, I must find an energy source to input into it.”

Fang Bai smacked his lips.

“But what can be considered energy? Elemental power definitely counts.

But how do I gather elemental power? First condense a Fireball, and then stuff the black notebook into the Fireball?”

Fang Bai frowned slightly.

“That definitely won’t work, but the spell trigger structure in the Fireball can gather fire elements.

If the spell trigger structure is stripped out and run independently, it might be able to gather fire elements instead of turning into a Fireball.”

Fang Bai pondered for a moment and then nodded.

“I can try it.”

“Also, electricity, electricity is also energy. I can find a generator to try later. If it can be charged, it will be even more convenient.

Even if it can’t be charged, the notebook won’t be damaged by electricity.”

After Fang Bai adjusted his state and his mentality returned to a stable state, he began to strip the spell trigger structure for research.

Time flies when you’re having fun, and during the research process, time passed quietly like a fleeting moment.

It was as if a thief had stolen time while you weren’t paying attention.

Two days later, Fang Bai looked at the disfigured spell trigger and shook his head slightly.

Still no results.

“My grasp of spell nodes and basic mage knowledge is still too limited. I’m currently only limited to being able to cast spells.

Right now, I’ve only mastered two spell models in total, which adds up to only eleven spell structures, without repetition.

With such a small sample size, it’s impossible to analyze the patterns, let alone understand them, or even think about improving them…”

Fang Bai shook his head slightly.

“Dream on.”

However, Fang Bai wasn’t without gains during this period.

Unable to shorten the casting time through practice, Fang Bai started to play with some tricks.

Simply put, he would run and jump at full speed in the room, jump from the second floor stairs to the first floor stairs, jump from the second floor balcony to the first floor yard, and so on.

He would construct spell models while running at full speed, or maintain spells without releasing them, such as maintaining Water Shield for a long time, and so on.

Fang Bai even tried meditating while running at full speed…

Of course, the failure rate was very high in the beginning, and the spell models were prone to collapse. But with a certain amount of time and attempts, Fang Bai gradually managed to stay calm and steady, thus constructing spell models while moving at high speed, and holding the spells in his hand for more than ten seconds.

However, he couldn’t achieve meditation while running at full speed, which Fang Bai found quite regrettable.

If only he could achieve that, how wonderful it would be.

However, Fang Bai was quite satisfied with being able to cast spells while running and dodging. To this end, he added all the remaining three free attribute points to his Strength attribute.

This brought his Strength attribute to 39 points, making him run even faster.

One day, Fang Bai, who was studying spell architecture, suddenly froze and turned his head towards the door.

He heard a few subtle metallic clanging sounds, and the iron gate of the yard slowly opened. Then, a few light footsteps entered the yard and came to the front door.

Fang Bai heard someone whisper.

“There must be something here.”

Before the words were finished, three people appeared at the door of the house. Fang Bai looked at them quietly, at the machetes in their hands, and silently picked up the Bone Knife leaning against the wall. They looked at Fang Bai quietly, at the armor on his body and the boots on his feet, and silently put away their machetes.

“Someone’s here?”

“Ha, brother, sorry, I thought no one was here. We were planning to find something to eat. Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you.

We’ll be going now.”

Fang Bai didn’t say anything, and the three of them were about to leave. But just as they were about to leave, the leader suddenly thought of something and turned back to Fang Bai.

“By the way, brother, I forgot to ask you just now, have you considered joining our Brotherhood?

It’s the apocalypse now, and nowhere is safe. Our leader has already changed his job to become a Warrior, and he’s very strong. Our leader can kill ordinary Gorilla Zombies with one slash.

The zombies in the entire Shen Shan Town are about to be wiped out by our Brotherhood. We also deserve some credit for you being so safe here, brother.”

The man revealed a bit of pride.

Fang Bai felt his mood improve considerably upon hearing this.

Someone has changed their job and started clearing out the zombies. They must have changed their job in the Novice Village, right? That’s good. It seems like the Novice Village wasn’t built in vain.

Fang Bai had the pleasant feeling of having done a good deed without leaving his name, but hearing others talk about it.

However, it seemed that Fang Bai was happy too soon. The man’s next words stunned him.

“Hey, brother, you don’t know about job changes yet, do you? Our leader built a Novice Village outside Shen Shan Town.”

Fang Bai was stunned.

“A Novice Village?”

“Yeah, it’s the only Novice Village in our Stone City!”

“The only Novice Village?!”

“Yeah, it’s by the river outside Shen Shan Town. You can change your job to become a professional once you reach level 10.

You can change your job to Warrior, Shield Warrior, or Archer.

Let me tell you, brother, this Novice Village was built by our leader, so only members of our Brotherhood can change their jobs.

Brother, I see that your equipment is so good, your level must not be low, right?

Let me tell you, as long as you join our Brotherhood, you can go to the Novice Village to change your job and become a professional!

This is something other forces can’t do.”

At this point, the man looked around and whispered.

“Let me tell you a secret, the job coefficients of these professions are all six.

Six, do you know what that means?

Six!

Six means that you can get six fixed attribute points and one free attribute point for each level up!

What does this mean? This means that ordinary people are simply vulnerable in front of professionals! They’re all instantly killed!

As long as you join our Brotherhood, you can change your job!

How about it?

Not bad, right?”

“Let me tell you, our Brotherhood is now the largest force in Stone City. Everyone has to make way for us when they see us.

We’re the best!”

The man proudly gave a thumbs up.

Fang Bai was quite happy at first, but the more he listened, the more something felt wrong. By the end, the smile on Fang Bai’s face gradually disappeared.

“Good, very good, very good. Is the Novice Village you’re talking about the one by the river southwest of Shen Shan Town?”

The man still didn’t notice anything and nodded upon hearing this, speaking very happily.

“Yeah, that’s the one.”

Fang Bai suddenly laughed again upon hearing this.

“What’s your leader’s name? Can you introduce him to me?”

The man was even happier when Fang Bai brought this up.

“Sure! Of course, our leader is currently in the Novice Village.”

“Shall we go now? With a master like you, the leader would be overjoyed.”

PS: I’ll kill him tomorrow and move on to the next plot.
