Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 40 Tina Understands

Learning new spells...

Wayne sighed. Let's wait and see.

He had to admit that he was indeed provoked by the liaison officer's arrogance this time.

Therefore, most decisions made in such situations are irrational.

At the same time, Wayne was also well aware that with his original power, he would split off more "original sub-bodies" in the future.

This means that his arcane wizardry system has greater potential for growth.

Therefore, his immediate priority is to learn more about the basics of the arcane wizarding system, especially about the enhancement of "Primal Sub-Body".

Only in this way can his advantages be maximized.

Moreover, given his current physical attributes, learning one or two attack spells wouldn't be of much help to him... their attack power wouldn't even be as strong as a musket.

With that thought in mind, Wayne gripped the handle of the silver-white musket.

A familiar and warm feeling welled up in his heart, as if this weapon was an extension of his body.

He even knew perfectly well the damage that using this musket could cause; every detail was clearly visible.

Effective range 120 meters, optimal range within 50 meters, gunpowder loading, marble selection, disassembly and assembly, and modification capabilities...

Wayne raised his musket, made an aiming motion, and opened his mouth to say, "Bang!"

Perhaps, one should choose to learn Blood Spirit or Mechanical magic, prioritizing the enhancement of physical strength, including speed, power, and reaction time.

When used in conjunction with a musket, it provides the greatest boost during the apprenticeship stage...

[Congratulations on having a tense and exciting day. Evaluation: A weakling peeking into a corner of the real world. Reward: Survival Points +3.]

When Wayne saw this notification, he realized that a new day had begun.

He then dismissed the thought from his mind; both the Blood Spirit and the Mechanical Wizard would modify his body to some extent, which was not what he wanted.

He then cleaned up the broken corner of the table, washed up quickly, and climbed into bed.

"It was definitely a tense and exciting day."

Hopefully, I won't run into that "wet dream" god again tonight...

……

……

Wei En lay on the bed, his forehead soaked with sweat, his heart pounding like thunder.

He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss of nothingness once again, returning to that endless darkness, surrounded by oppressive and twisted monsters.

It was those dried-up corpses, those withered and twisted dried-up corpses.

They crookedly surrounded him, their gaunt faces contorted into a grotesque, eerie smile, revealing two rows of sharp, yellowish-brown teeth.

"Nobody cares about you...nobody cares if you live or die...join us..."

The cacophony of sounds echoed in his mind, carrying a chilling mockery.

He felt isolated in this desolate world.

The enormous eye pierced the darkness, taking over the entire world, and looked at him mockingly, as if saying, "You are useless, you don't deserve to exist."

"This world has already gone mad..."

"Only despair endures, only despair..."

Countless twisted arms replaced the dried-up corpses, tearing at his body frantically, trying to drag him into an endless abyss.

"Gula...Il..."

Wayne struggled and screamed, fear and despair constantly eroding his mind, and the excruciating pain in his body made him unable to distinguish between dream and reality.

He wanted to escape, but his steps seemed to sink into a swamp.

The more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

"Runo...Runo...Runo..." (Despair...Despair...Despair...)

The Lord of Despair, Gulayir, roared madly, as if he wanted to turn the entire world into a land of endless despair.

In a daze, Wayne saw Lacey's gloomy face, Marco's sinister smile, and Tina's indifferent expression...

They stared at him, their eyes filled with indifference...

Ok?

Tina?

When Wayne saw the white-haired girl with her still indifferent face, he instantly woke up and realized that this was a dream.

Just then, a flicker of panic flashed in that enormous eye, "No—"

The surrounding space began to tremble violently, and one by one, the withered and twisted arms retracted into the eyes.

Click.

With the sound of shattering glass, the entire space instantly crumbled, plunging into endless darkness...

Wayne suddenly sat up, panting heavily, sweat soaking his forehead, his heart pounding like thunder.

"Huff... huff..."

Lord of Despair, Gulayir...

Wei En was puzzled when he thought of the giant eye that appeared in his dream.

He had already resisted the erosion of the source, so why was he still having this nightmare?

Just then, two red alerts appeared in his mind.

[You have been corrupted by the power of despair, but have not undergone any distortion. Evaluation: This is a gift from the Lord of Despair, Gulair, to the blasphemer. You are welcome. Special Reward: Survival Points +3, Spirit Level -1 (Temporary: 1 day).]

[Note: When your mind is fluctuating, you are more susceptible to corruption.]

Is your mind fluctuating?

Wei En suddenly realized, and then a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Faced with the liaison officer's arrogant disdain, his emotions fluctuated, and his mind was affected, which is why he was corrupted by the power of the Lord of Despair...

It turns out that arrogance is the original sin, and being provoked by arrogance can pose such a great risk.

Wien wiped the sweat from his brow, glanced out the window, saw the crimson moon still hanging high, and lay back down to calm his mind.

This time, instead of encountering the God of "wet dreams," they were betrayed by the Lord of Despair.

"There's no time to relax..."

After these two nightmares, Wayne realized that there were too many unknown dangers in the extraordinary world.

To survive, one needs not only great strength, but also the ability to remain calm, restrained, and composed at all times.

He didn't care about the loss of one level of mental strength; instead, he was extremely grateful to have discovered this survival rule.

As the Ghost School's trainer said: Wizards are not afraid of anything known; the unknown is the most dangerous.

With these thoughts in mind, Wayne slowly drifted off to sleep...

……

……

Suddenly, two little rascals appeared directly above the bed, staring wide-eyed at the two people on the bed.

To be precise, he was staring at the white-haired girl who had suddenly appeared on the bed.

"Baba..."

"Runo..." (Despair...)

However, upon seeing the white-haired girl's empty eyes, the two brothers quickly shut their mouths, glancing at the rooftop as if to say that the weather was nice today.

When Tina saw that they had stopped making a sound, she stiffly turned her head to look directly at Wayne's profile.

companion……

She recalled the lecture the fierce woman gave her on her way home from get off work yesterday: "Don't easily change your contract partner, although Wei En is indeed quite good, but you two can't live together, blah blah blah..."

Tina likes Wayne.

That was her thought at the time, just as she now appears on this bed through the power of the contract.

Partners should sleep together, not live together.

Tina understands.

At this moment, the panel silently sent a very faint notification.

[Your contract with the Calamity Sprite has changed, and you have received a reward from the God of Contracts—Companion Transfer. Effect: Strong feelings of longing for your partner will instantly transport you to their side.]
