A noun entry: Wizard

After an unknown amount of time, the two servants who brought the meal arrived and saw Russell and Yafna discussing something.

They dared not disturb him, but Russell's unconsciously projected spiritual power sensed it, and they stopped their conversation.

"It's getting late, and I'm a bit hungry, so let's call it a day."

Russell glanced at the sky and noticed it was getting dark.

"Hmm." Yafna nodded, took a few lunch boxes from a servant, said goodbye to Russell, and went back into the house.

Russell also took the lunchbox and went back to his room.

Sitting at the table, Russell calmed his somewhat chaotic thoughts from discussing the Fury meditation method and opened the lunchboxes.

Inside were a whole grilled sea fish, several large prawns, large pieces of pork chops and white bread, as well as some vegetables that Russell couldn't name, grilled to an enticing color.

It also comes with a bowl of creamy mushroom soup.

It can be described as very abundant.

It's worth noting that while seafood is plentiful and affordable along the coast of Panlongcheng, farmed animals like pigs, cattle, and chickens are very expensive, not to mention vegetables.

This meal was quite precious.

After finishing his meal, Russell placed several lunchboxes in a basket outside the window, looked next door, and intended to continue his discussion of meditation with Yafna.

But I think I'll pass and wait a while.

Neither of them had a deep understanding of the Fu Rui meditation method, so they decided to study it first before discussing and exchanging ideas.

He lit a candle, covered it with a lampshade, and the dim light illuminated the room as Russell continued to study the contents of the manuscript.

Even when it's just the initial construction of the core model of meditation, there's no room for carelessness; it must be done perfectly.

Russell took out a sheet of white paper and sketching tools and began to hand-draw the model.

Constructing a core model for meditation involves using mental energy to outline and build it in the mental space. Drawing it on paper in the real world can also play a role.

At least it deepened my understanding and taught me how to construct it.

Half an hour later, Russell looked at the crooked model on the paper, which, if actually constructed according to this, would definitely shatter the mental space and even cause the head to explode, and sighed.

It seems that concentrating on the core of meditation is not an easy task.

Even though Russell possessed mythological knowledge, his talent in this area far surpassed that of ordinary wizarding apprentices.

"Forget it, I'd better condense the spiritual singularity first. It's difficult for other wizard apprentices, but it seems to be just so-so for me."

The spiritual singularity is the core of a meditation method and the starting point for condensing the core model of meditation.

Everything in the core model of meditation is built around the spiritual singularity.

Even if the core model of meditation is destroyed, it can be rebuilt as long as the mental singularity remains intact.

Conversely, that would mean the path to becoming a wizard is cut off.

Russell arrived at the house’s built-in laboratory, which already contained a lot of basic equipment that had been moved there by other servants while the room was being cleaned.

It can provide the most basic wizarding research.

If you want better and more complex equipment, you'll have to buy it yourself with gold coins or even Originium.

Originium.

This is the hard currency among wizard apprentices, and even among wizards themselves.

A first-level wizard apprentice like Russell only receives one Originium per month.

In the Kingdom of Ente, the currency is gold, silver, and copper, which are used throughout the continent. One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin.

One source stone can be exchanged for one hundred gold coins, and it is even more expensive than it is, often fetching a premium of one hundred and fifty or even one hundred and seventy gold coins!

Russell entered the quiet room inside the research lab, sat cross-legged, and used his mental power to activate the magic array inside the quiet room.

This witchcraft formation is very simple, because its purpose is to activate the large witchcraft formation on Panlong Mountain.

Let it spare a bit of its strength.

The effect of this trace of power is nothing special.

It simply makes it easier for wizard apprentices to concentrate and calm their minds, allowing them to better use their mental energy to construct spell models.

……

The mental singularity.

The foundation of all spell models.

The spell model is built upon the core meditation model.

The core model of meditation is built upon the concept of the spiritual singularity.

Condensation is not a difficult task, at least not for Russell.

Vast and boundless, the spiritual power surged, condensed, and compressed, surpassing that of a second-level wizard apprentice and reaching that of a third-level wizard apprentice.

Everything, everything, is reduced to a singularity.

The process went smoothly.

Russell was still somewhat bewildered when a pure silver spiritual singularity, seemingly radiating endless suction, was successfully condensed.

With the mental singularity as the foundation, we can begin to construct the core model of meditation.

"The difficulties and obstacles recorded in the manuscript are no different from non-existent to me."

"Indeed, these difficulties and obstacles are very difficult for a wizard apprentice whose talent is only one-tenth of mine."

"But for me, it's very simple."

"The spiritual singularity I condensed is ten times purer and more refined than that of a normal wizard apprentice."

"As expected of a mythology entry!"

"Honestly, having gotten used to mythical attributes, I'll probably be quite disappointed if I draw legendary or epic attributes next time."

Russell stared at the system's card pool.

The dust from entries can accumulate a little each day, enough for one entry extraction.

Besides, one way to obtain term dust is through term decomposition.

You can obtain one point by dissecting a green, high-quality entry.

Disassembling a white, ordinary entry only yields 0.1 entry dust.

Of course, there are other ways to obtain term dust.

That is fighting enemies of higher levels; after defeating them, you can obtain affix dust.

The higher the rank difference between yourself and the enemy, the stronger the enemy you kill, and the more affix dust you gain.

"In general, the most important way to acquire term dust is through time accumulation."

"Anyway, once you become a formal wizard, it's easy to survive for thousands of years through some rituals and modifications."

"With such a massive accumulation of time, it's more than enough to acquire enough stat dust for gacha pulls."

"However, the pity system of only guaranteeing a high-tier blue color after 100 pulls is a bit low."

Russell searched through the system and soon found information about the card pool.

"Burning affix dust to draw cards guarantees a purple rare card, or even a gold legendary card or a red epic card."

"To guarantee a purple rare item, each pull requires burning the equivalent of 100 pulls' worth of affix dust."

"The guaranteed gold legendary item is equivalent to 1,000 pulls! The guaranteed red epic item is 10,000 pulls."

"In fact, is the guaranteed red epic the maximum, and there's no guarantee of a colored mythic?"

Russell had a bit of a headache.

Ten thousand draws represent ten thousand points of keyword dust, which, through accumulation over time, would take more than twenty-seven years.

A single 100-pull means he needs 2,700 years of accumulation to guarantee a red epic card.

It might not even be what Russell needed.
