Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi's current plan is to absorb as much passive magic as possible.

Passive magic is like a persistent buff, or a special talent point that provides additional benefits.

Moreover, it doesn't require consuming magic power to release, so it won't be detected by mages.

Then absorb more rare-grade active magic.

For active magic, choose the healing class as your main focus and position yourself as a qualified healer.

Of course, if you encounter high-grade defensive or control magic from the support system, you should also absorb it without hesitation.

Anyway, having more skills is never a bad thing; maybe I'll have a chance to play support.

"I still need to find a way to improve my attack power. Perhaps I could do what Wang Jiang did and focus on improving my hand-to-hand combat skills?"

While Wang Yi was pondering whether or not to become a physical mage, the warehouse had already packed up the magic crystals he needed and delivered them to him.

"Please come this way to check out." The sales assistant smiled and handed the packaged magic crystal to Wang Yi, indicating that Wang Yi could go to the front desk to pay.

Although the Green-haired Baboon's magic crystal was slightly more expensive than the other two low-level magic crystals, the sales assistant breathed a sigh of relief at finally getting rid of this troublesome customer.

So his smile became even more genuine.

"No rush." ​​Wang Yi took the magic crystal, glanced at the sales assistant, and then waved his hand: "Let's go take a look at the mid-level magic crystals."

The sales assistant's smile froze on her face.

"You know that purchasing mid-level magic crystals requires the qualifications of a beginner mage, right?" The sales assistant held a sliver of hope.

"Of course." Wang Yi took out his ID card: "You can verify it in the system."

Wang Yi went to the government service center this morning to get certified as a novice mage, just for this moment.

Since magic crystals are a controlled resource, purchasing them through legitimate channels naturally requires certain qualifications.

Mages can only purchase magic crystals of their own rank or the rank one level higher.

Wang Yi is currently a beginner mage, and can only purchase mid-level magic crystals at most.

The reason for this regulation is not only to facilitate the control of the source and circulation of magic crystals, but also to allow for timely and comprehensive access to effective information about domestic mages.

Unwilling to register their status as a monk?

No problem, it's not mandatory.

However, without certification, I'm sorry, you also don't have the right to purchase Magic Crystals.

Of course, the existence of controlled resources will inevitably lead to private sales.

This led to the emergence of the black market.

This is an unavoidable market environment.

However, the black market, being an irregular channel, is expensive, has an incomplete selection of products, and its safety cannot be guaranteed.

Especially after the magic crystals reach a higher rank, the control becomes even stricter.

On the black market, they are basically priceless; even a low-grade high-level magic crystal that occasionally appears will cause a frenzy of buying.

As for the monk's personal information and privacy, that's not important.

China has always prioritized the safety of ordinary citizens and the stability of society.

The monk suffered greatly, and the authorities bore the brunt of the criticism.

Moreover, apart from some Western countries that advocate freedom for monks, basically no one opposes this system in China.

After all, nobody wants to be sleeping at home and suddenly be wiped out by high-level magic.

Or you might get hit in the face with a fireball and sent flying just because you glanced at someone on the street.

Even among mages, the vast majority would surely desire a safe and stable living environment.

Wang Yi's status as a beginner mage has already been synchronized with the system; it can be verified simply by swiping his ID card.

The sales assistant's hopes were dashed, and she had no choice but to lead Wang Yi to the glass display case containing the mid-level magic crystals.

The magic crystals of mid-level magical beasts mainly contain rare-grade magic. Possessing a few rare spells can greatly enhance the strength of a beginner mage.

Of course, given Wang Yi's current magical reserves, releasing a rare-grade spell would probably drain him completely.

However, rare-grade magic is a trump card for novice mages.

You may not need it, but you can't live without it.

Next, Wang Yi patiently examined all the mid-level magic crystals displayed in the specialty store in his hands.

Unfortunately, apart from the mid-level Silverfin Fish and Blue-haired Baboon, no other magical beasts with passive magic were found.

It seems that passive magic is something that only a very small number of magical beasts possess.

"As expected." Wang Yi stared at the mid-level magic crystals of the two magical beasts, confirming his suspicions.

Silverfin fish:

Water Absorption Technique [Normal]: Absorbs water from the environment and vaporizes it into purified water (can be absorbed).

Water Arrow [Normal]: Releases a water arrow attack (cannot be absorbed).

Surge of Magic [Rare] [Passive] Increases own magic reserves (can be absorbed).

Rapid Fire Water Arrows [Rare]: Unleashes a continuous barrage of water arrows (cannot be absorbed).

Waterspout [Mystic] Creates a huge waterspout in the water (cannot be absorbed).

Blue-haired baboon:

Lightweight [Normal] [Passive] Increases own speed (can be absorbed).

Shattering Wind Turbulence [Rare]: Releases a sharp and chaotic turbulence, causing area-of-effect cutting damage (cannot be absorbed).

Wind Blade Technique [Rare]: Unleashes a wind blade attack (cannot be absorbed).

Green Claw [Rare]: Both claws inflict tearing damage (cannot be absorbed).

When a monster increases its rank, in addition to gaining new spells of a higher rank, its existing spells may also evolve to a higher rank.

This is information that Wang Yi had already found online.

In addition to gaining the new rare-grade magic water arrow rapid fire, the mid-tier silverfin fish also obtained the divine-grade magic water tornado.

The Magic Surge has also changed from a common grade to a rare grade.

The mid-level Blue-haired Baboon simply evolved Wind Blade Technique into a rare-grade spell, gaining a new rare-grade magic, Blue Claw.

Therefore, among the initial-level magic crystals, the magic crystals of the Green-haired Baboon are more than ten times more expensive than those of the Silverfin Fish.

In the mid-tier magic crystals, the Silverfin Fish, through its own hard work and struggle, successfully obtained divine magic crystals, and its value surpassed that of the Green-haired Baboon by more than ten times.

After all, once magic reaches the divine level, each one is incredibly valuable.

This is truly a classic example of a rags-to-riches story, where one is first humble and then becomes powerful.

Finally, after serving Wang Yi until he finished looking at the mid-tier magic crystals, the sales assistant breathed a sigh of relief: "Which types of mid-tier magic crystals do you need?"

"I don't want a single one." Although Wang Yi was very interested in the rare-grade passive magic "Mana Surge," the price listed on the description card made him give up.

The sales assistant's face froze.

Fortunately, the sales assistants here are all professionally trained, so they didn't say much.

Wang Yi asked, "By the way, do you buy back magic crystals here? I still have six low-level magic crystals, many of which contain rare-grade magic."

The sales assistant gritted her teeth.

What do you mean? After looking around for so long, you only picked two low-level magic crystals. Not only do you not want to pay, but you also want to take some money out of us?

"Sorry, we do not offer magic crystal recycling services."

"Smile, smile," the sales associate kept reminding herself, treating it as a test of her career advancement.

"Never mind then."

Wang Yi waved the two magic crystals in his hand and pointed at Qi Xiaohao, who had been following him around and was getting bored to death.

He paid the bill.

Since they couldn't use magic crystals to settle the debt, they had no choice but to mobilize Qi Xiaohao.

The sales assistant's smile froze completely on her face.

It's hardened; its fists have hardened.
