Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 1 Preliminary Nomination Tournament

[Your Gengar has reached level 28 after a day of AFK training.]

[By receiving support from Gengar, your physical attributes have been further enhanced.]

[Benefited from Gengar's actions, your Poison-type magic has been enhanced, increasing Poison damage by 3%]

[Benefited by Gengar, your Shadow-type Tier 3 spell "Shadow Dodge - Flying Shadow" has successfully upgraded to Tier 4 "Shadow Dodge - Illusion," increasing Dark damage by 5%.]

……

In the morning, warm sunlight streamed through the thin white curtains and onto the bed in the room.

Until the notification sound rang in my ear.

Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes.

I sat up in bed, stretched, and felt a slight relief. It was another day to feel refreshed.

The power that Gengar fed him back allowed him to clearly perceive that his spirit and energy had been significantly enhanced.

"My strength has increased again, that feels great!"

Chu Ming's lips were full of smiles.

I have been in this fantasy world for sixteen years, a world full of modern civilization yet where the main focus is on cultivating magic.

He has now fully adapted to life in this world.

As the only direct descendant of the family.

From the age of eight, I began to travel with my second uncle between Japan and the mainland to learn about trade.

While following the master of the sword-making school, he trains his body and learns swordsmanship to kill low-level servants and demons, beginning the daily life of a direct descendant who undergoes trials and tribulations.

As high school life begins.

The family training program then came to an end.

Chu Ming returned to the bustling and vibrant Jiangnan City.

Preparing for the awakening of the legal system.

He also has high expectations for this.

Until the moment of awakening.

The appearance of the [Spirit Summoning System].

He was bewildered.

Pokémon from Japan, the world's number one IP in his previous life, he really knows this stuff.

Chu Ming quickly figured out the system's functions.

First, summon a spirit.

Secondly, the spirit levels up while idle, thus benefiting its host.

Chu Ming summons one spirit at a time.

There is a chance that it will awaken a corresponding magic type based on its attributes and characteristics.

As for "AFK" leveling up.

Once the elf achieves a significant breakthrough in cultivation, it will benefit Chu Ming, boosting his magical cultivation.

simply put.

Continuously increase the level of your Pokémon.

Chu Ming's power will also continuously increase and strengthen along with the level and attributes of the spirit.

Given enough time, he can continuously advance in the future, breaking through the intermediate, advanced, and super-advanced levels, and even reaching the forbidden spells!

As for physical fitness...

Becoming a "super rookie" like Ash Ketchum, the protagonist of Pokémon, is not impossible.

Basically, you can become stronger just by idling and lying down!

There's no easier or more relaxed way to level up.

And he was lucky.

The first Pokémon I drew was a powerful one: Gastly!

After the contract was completed.

He also awakened two spell types corresponding to Gastly's type: Shadow and Poison.

In addition to the AFK leveling function.

Chu Ming can also earn points by battling other players or defeating demons, and these points can be exchanged for items related to spirits.

This includes skill discs, spirit items, mega evolution stones, and more.

"Gengar's Mega Stone costs 8 points, and the Dynamax Stone costs 10 points... Time to start saving up points again."

Chu Ming scooped up the cool water from the tap and rubbed it on his face.

He glanced at the helpless smile on his handsome face in the mirror.

The system interface has been opened.

……

Among them, Stand, Thunderbolt, and Will-o'-the-Wisp were skills learned by spending 3 points to purchase a "Skill Disc".

For Gastly to evolve into Gengar, the exclusive [Evolution Certificate] cost an additional 5 points.

And these 8 points.

This is almost all the wealth he has accumulated over the past two and a half years.

Fortunately, Gengar's growth has never disappointed him.

After learning "Substitute", Gengar can directly let its Substitute take the hits from the enemy and trigger Cursed Body.

Thunderbolt adds an area-of-effect attack to Gengar.

Moreover, it's a violent lightning-based skill.

Will-o'-the-wisp is used to inflict a burning status, and when combined with Misfortune Comes in Pairs, it can trigger double damage.

It can be said.

Today, Chu Ming is arguably a prodigy among his peers!

If you add Gengar to the mix.

He can demonstrate the destructive power of a mid-level perfected mage in a short time!

In just over a year.

Chu Ming was already very satisfied with the combat strength he had achieved.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

and.

As a contracted spirit, Gengar also possesses Dark, Poison, and Growth-type Elemental effects.

Gengar levels up each time.

It can also further enhance Chu Ming's magic damage.

And this number will continue to increase in the future, reaching a tenfold increase of 1000% in the future, which is only a matter of time.

According to rumors.

Only elemental seeds of the Heavenly Rank can amplify a mage's damage by 8 to 12 times.

"La la la~"

Instrumental ringtones came from the bedroom.

Chu Ming had a sudden thought.

From the shadow behind him, a round, dark purple shadow emerged, a wicked smile on its lips, before it transformed into a ghostly figure and darted into the bedroom.

One second later.

Gengar, holding the phone, returned to Chu Ming's side.

Chu Ming glanced at the caller ID.

The call was connected immediately.

"Xiaoming, the National Team preliminary competition starts the day after tomorrow. Our family has secured a spot, and Mom has already bought your plane ticket to Shanghai..."

My mother, Song Xiuyun, spoke in a very serious tone.

It's easy to see that she values ​​the National Team preliminaries very much.

"Huh? Didn't we say before that among the Southern aristocratic families, only the Nanrong family, the Li family, and the Zhou family each had one spot?"

Chu Ming held his phone in one hand and handed over an electric toothbrush with the other, asking with considerable confusion.

Gengar, on the other hand, seems to have a telepathic connection with the user.

Squeeze toothpaste onto your toothbrush.

"Our family was able to get a spot thanks to your Uncle Jiang Tianchen. Speaking of which, the talented young talents from the Mu family and Zu family of the capital, as well as the four great families of Shanghai, are all on the list for this preliminary competition..."

"By the way, Shaoxu will be participating too. If you run into her, remember to be considerate."

My mother, Song Xiuyun, emphasized it again.

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

"Okay, I understand."

Chu Ming spat out the mouthwash and replied.

Given the opportunity to be nominated, he will certainly do his best to win.

Once you've secured a spot as an official player.

In the future, they will be able to participate in the World University Competition.

The World Championship not only represents the honor of Chinese Buddhist monks, but also involves a re-ranking of the status and interests of major families in various countries around the world.

Moreover, for Chu Ming, winning against other mages in the competition was a significant achievement.

He can also earn a lot of points.

Why not do it.

With my current strength.

Chu Ming was confident that securing a spot on the National Team would not be difficult.

The number of places for the World University Competition includes ten official contestants and two substitute contestants.

In other words.

As long as you finish in the top ten among all the participants.

That will earn you a spot as an official player.

"Keep up the good work! Although our Chu family's foundation isn't as strong as those established families, we must show our Chu family's spirit and not let others look down on us..."

I heard my mother, Song Xiuyun, start nagging again.

Chu Ming readily agreed and hung up the phone.

In this world where magical power reigns supreme.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

Chu Ming firmly believed that as long as he became stronger, it would only be a matter of time before the Chu family became a first-class family in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Gengar, let's pack our bags and get ready to go!"

"Hehehe!"
