Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 63 Inventory Check

After exchanging resources, Wang Teng stayed in Songcheng for a week.

During this period, store away the top-quality wind-type spirit seeds and earth-type soul seeds. These are valuable commodities, so there's no need to exchange them internally.

That batch of resources alone was already more than enough. In addition, he also had two spirit essences left on him, one at the commander level and the other at the advanced commander level.

The two are very different, but he can use either one. He uses the Commander-level Essence to charge the Star River Magic Artifact.

Then there was one water-type magic diamond that had been left over from before, two attribute-less magic diamonds, plus the latest ten space magic crystals and two galactic veins.

Finally, there are deposits totaling 9 million.

On Tang Yue's balcony.

"Sigh... This is really fast money making. I was planning to make another fortune in Shanghai, but now I've lost all motivation."

Wang Teng and she sat facing each other across a round table, basking in the scorching sun like salted fish.

"You'd better not say that outside."

"I'm afraid someone might rob you..."

Tang Yue peeled the grapes, slowly savoring their sweet and sour taste.

Others risk their lives to make money, but he earns hundreds of millions every time he goes out. Who wouldn't be envious?

"That's definitely something I can't say."

Wang Teng smiled, but quickly hesitated, unsure whether he should tell Tang Yue some things.

"Just say what you want to say~"

Seeing his hesitant expression, Tang Yue immediately spoke up.

"I have recently made some progress in my research on the mind system, and my mastery of the mind system has entered the third stage."

"The planetary circulation structure has also been safely constructed."

"However, the operation here is very difficult, to put it bluntly, the threshold is too high, and if I tell you, it may be harmful to you."

Wang Teng took a breath and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Tell me, if it works, I'll follow the instructions. If it doesn't, completing the first stage will also be fine, at least the casting speed is very fast."

Tang Yue seemed quite composed. She knew her own abilities, and if things were too complicated, she naturally wouldn't force them.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Teng decided to share what he knew.

"I roughly categorize existing magic into three main types: standard magic, independent magic, and free magic."

"Currently, the most widely applicable Star Child rule is Standard Magic, which has a tiered system, low entry barrier, high security, and strong universality."

"Independent magic is highly unique, with an ancient magic circle style, and is only suitable for magicians of the same type. Moreover, it has very high basic requirements, such as realm, mental strength level, star map drawing, and even talent. It is quite dangerous and difficult."

"Free magic, starting with high-level mages, uses stars as a tool for mental amplification. It requires reaching the first stage of control or above, and the third level of mental power or above. It allows for complete freedom in casting spells, rapid mana recovery, and linear spell power without a threshold. The power depends entirely on individual skill. It is extremely dangerous."

"Take my mentalist class as an example..."

"Currently, my Mind-based Star Particles have a closed-loop structure, without beginning or end, and always maintain a cyclical state. I cast spells by manipulating magical energy with my mind, evolving the characteristics of magical energy according to the desired effect to achieve my goal."

"For example, the skill 'Soothing' is originally a ranged skill according to the rules of the stars, and it also requires moving stars to form a star orbit."

"I can directly activate magical energy evolution through the Star Cycle, turning it into a single-target skill with my eyes. I can also expand the skill's range with my line of sight. It's all up to how I want to play."

"Standard magic requires connection to star orbits, while free magic uses star particles as amplifiers. The difference is quite significant, especially when magic energy is limited, which has a great impact on low-level magic."

"The advanced star-series cycle structure provides a fixed spiritual boost to both the initial and intermediate levels. The boost is equivalent to an increase in level: two levels for the initial level and one level for the intermediate level."

"It's the same principle as enhancing star points with essence to amplify the power of magic..."

"Free casting often allows one to use basic spells as if they were intermediate spells, especially destruction spells."

"It can easily enhance a level 3 fire-type burst to level 5. If it is accompanied by a top-quality spirit seed, it can reach the level 1 mid-tier magic. If it can evolve into a spirit seed-level characteristic, then the spirit seed can be saved."

"There is another hidden benefit: the more condensed and compressed the destructive magic is, the stronger its properties become, and the more powerful its penetrating ability."

"If the Fierce Fist of Heaven is compressed to the size of a fist or even an egg, it can easily penetrate the demonic power and magic resistance of ordinary demons at the warrior level, shoot into the demon's body, and then the effects of explosion, bone burning, scorching, etc."

"Functional magic requires versatility, is complex to operate, and demands a very high level of skill; one must at least reach the second stage of mastery. Destruction magic requires emotional calm, since there is no threshold for free casting. In combat, if one is not careful, the magic energy can slip out of control, resulting in either one's own death or the death of the enemy."

"Free magic should be a way of playing above the super-level. Mages at that level can easily use low-level magic and turn standard star structures into magic supply devices."

"There probably aren't many mages who would dare to turn a standard star structure into a closed loop structure and use it as an amplification tool. After all, if they don't control their emotions well, it's very easy for their magical energy to go berserk."

After Wang Teng finished speaking, the troubled look on his face disappeared instantly, and he picked up his tea and took a sip with a relaxed and cheerful expression.

He casually picked a grape, slowly peeled it, and looked at Tang Yue, who was deep in thought and frowning.

The choice is hers, since he hasn't kept anything from her and has shared all the results of his recent research.

Half an hour later, Tang Yue seemed to be relieved, letting out a heavy sigh of relief, and looked at Wang Teng with piercing eyes.

"The core foundation of free magic is the level of mental power, right?"

"clever!"

Wang Teng nodded with a smile. This requirement alone was enough to eliminate almost all mages below the super-level.

"Is it really a good idea for you to bring the gameplay from the higher-level stages to the higher-level stages?"

Tang Yue rolled her eyes. She finally understood what Wang Teng meant: being able to master things beyond the super-level at a high level is purely based on talent and resources!

She doesn't want any of those things!

If you can master it, its power is naturally terrifying, after all, it far surpasses the magical skills of mages of the same level, and can be called invincible among mages of the same level!

Wang Teng smiled but did not reply. He already understood Tang Yue's choice; staying at the first stage of control was fine.

At least it's safe and reliable, and you don't need to work hard to study the depth of magic; once you reach a certain level, you can use ready-made magic.

With the addition of spirit seeds or soul seeds, as well as the magic tool set, he is considered to be among the top mages of the same level.

He actually didn't mention some potential hidden dangers. In the star-piece cycle structure, all star-pieces must be of the same level. If a star-piece is strengthened by essence or if the star-piece is not thoroughly refined, then the degree of control will be uneven.

Forcibly connecting the star to a closed loop at this point is extremely likely to cause problems, and he has no experience with what kind of problems might occur.
