Master Changsheng

Chapter 1001: The "Max Level" Mage

The Principality of Bukrin.

A small border town in the east.

The desert is a ten-minute drive from the town.

Ankai rode his newly tamed horse in a good mood, slowly making his way towards the town.

Not far behind him, there was a desert merchant and three burly guards, watching An Kai leave with hatred.

They were completely helpless...

The traveling merchant glanced at the ransacked wagon and sighed helplessly, "We can't come to the Duchy of Buklin. We haven't even entered the duchy yet, and we've already been robbed clean. It's too chaotic!"

The traveling merchant sat in a horseless carriage, his expression a mixture of helplessness and resentment…

He took one last look at the carriage he had spent a fortune on, then reluctantly left it where he was, and together with his three guards, headed back the way they had come…

The four figures, walking on foot across the boundless desert, appeared rather forlorn. Faintly, a suppressed curse could be heard: "Damn barbarians!"

The entrance to a border town.

An Kai rode his horse and found a middle-aged man with a hunched back.

The man was lying at the town entrance, where there were few green leaves, under a crooked tree.

If you listen closely, you can even hear faint snoring.

An Kai dismounted, walked up to the man, and kicked him in the shin: "Wake up! Wake up! Widow Wang has run off with someone!"

"What! Who did Widow Wang run off with?!" In an instant, the hunched-over man stood up straight!

Looking around, he didn't see the widow Wang he had been longing for, but instead saw An Kai standing in front of him with a wicked grin...

"What, it's you, you brat?!" The man's back instantly hunched over...

Being called a rascal didn't bother An Kai; he simply pointed to the yellow horse behind him and said:

"A high-level magical beast capable of traveling thousands of miles, three sets of brand-new protective gear, a legendary quality gem ring, and two bags of seeds that have been enchanted by a noble mage."

"If you exchange these things for two high-grade magic stones, wouldn't you be making a killing?!"

With an expression that said, "You're getting a great deal," An Kai stretched out his hand to the man in front of him, demanding payment...

To everyone's surprise, the man ignored An Kai's outstretched hand and walked up to the elderly, ordinary-looking yellow horse that was panting heavily.

He skillfully searched through the cloth bags on both sides.

Three daggers with rotten handles, three patched robes, and a cracked, earthy brown gemstone ring…

Of all the things Ankai mentioned, only the last two bags of seeds, which had been enchanted by the sorcerer, might actually be real…

Because that bastard Ankai is a trainee mage in the Mage Association.

Heaven knows if the Archmage was out of his mind, somehow granting this guy such noble magical talent…

An Kai had already assessed the value of the things he brought in just a few breaths…

He pulled a blue stone, about the size of a fingernail, from his pocket and tossed it to Ankai…

"Will you sell this low-grade magic stone?"

Ankai quickly caught the magic stone, turned around and left without hesitation...

"That greedy old man, isn't he afraid of getting his comeuppance?"

Reaching the town entrance, An Kai suddenly turned around and shouted, then took off running, rushing into the nameless border town…

"Get out of here! If anyone's going to get retribution, it'll be you first!"

Hanks chuckled and cursed, then grabbed the reins, preparing to head towards the crooked tree…

The yellow horse, seeing that it had a new owner, was somewhat resentful and was about to argue when Hanks slapped it on the back...

The yellow horse stumbled, whimpered a few times, and obediently followed Hanks...

"A beast is a beast!"

Hanks muttered something, tied the yellow horse to the crooked tree branch, chuckled mischievously, and lay back down...

"Hehehe, Widow Wang, I'm here~"

...

Upon entering the town, Ankai jogged back to his home in the northeast corner.

A single-story stone house was built from loess mixed with stones.

It has an area of ​​about 50 square meters, with a courtyard of about 40 to 50 square meters...

He ran inside and closed the door.

Ankai took out a blue magic stone the size of a fingernail.

He silently chanted in his mind, "Exchange!"

[Skill Point +1]

"It's finally done!"

Inside the room, An Kai let out a long sigh of relief.

Without much hesitation, he continued to silently chant, "Add Fireball."

Fireball Lv0 Proficiency +1

Fireball spell upgraded to Lv1

Fireball Lv1: 1/10

After the prompt panel appeared, An Kai's heart stirred, and a fireball the size of a fist, radiating intense heat, appeared on his outstretched right hand!

Looking around, An Kai pushed open the door, walked into the courtyard, and suddenly pressed down with his right hand!

The fireball in his hand crashed down into the courtyard!

boom!

A hole the size of a basketball appeared!

There were also dark brown marks in the surrounding area…

"It's done!"

He silently recited "System" in his mind, and a personal panel exclusively for An Kai appeared.

【Level Lv1: 10/10 'Locked'】

Intelligence: 4 (Initial value: 1)

Endurance: 4 (Initial value: 1)

Stamina: 3 (Initial value: 1)

Strength: 4 (Initial value: 1)

[Talents: Immortality '∞', Mage's Body 'lv1']

【法术：冥想Lv1『1/10』、火球术Lv1『1/10』】

[Identity: Nobody.]

A year ago, Ankai came here from Earth.

And he also possesses a gaming talent: immortality.

This granted him an infinite lifespan; however, injuries, hunger, and illness could still lead to death.

Ankai arrives with a meditation skill, which grants him experience points for leveling up.

I thought it would be a story of a protagonist who becomes an overpowered hero.

However, reality taught him a lesson.

Because he arrived in this world about ten thousand years earlier than those players.

Therefore, his level cap was 1. When he spent a month meditating until he reached the maximum experience for level 1, Ankai suddenly discovered…

I've reached the maximum level...

The inability to upgrade means that you cannot quickly obtain upgrade attribute rewards and cannot quickly improve your strength...

All of this was like a heavy hammer blow to An Kai's head.

Fortunately, when I leveled up from level 0 to level 1, I awakened the mage talent.

He infiltrated the town's mage association and became a noble apprentice mage!

He also used meditation to convert his excess experience into attribute points, which is how Ankai got his current attribute panel.

Barely able to hunt and fish...

Of course, the target of hunting and fishing is not animals, but people who come to the desert...

After a year, An Kai finally saved up enough skill points to exchange for a low-grade magic stone.

It was also thanks to that traveling merchant, who, despite his weak strength, still managed to cross the desert with a horse.

With the resources he had accumulated before, he was able to exchange them for a low-grade magic stone.

"There are still five days until the probationary period assessment, it's not too late!"

The position of apprentice monk in the Dharma Association is not filled casually.

Those who fail to master a single Rank 1 spell within a year will be expelled from the Mage Guild.

If you can master it, you will become a first-tier mage and a formal member of the Mage Association, receiving one low-grade magic stone per month!

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money!

Looking at the sky, the sun was high in the sky. After much deliberation, An Kai decided to brave the scorching sun and head to the Mage Association to apply for official membership.

Because he suddenly remembered that tomorrow is the start of a new month...
