Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 5 Jia Xiu had never fought such a rich battle

Jia Xiu looked at the three magic contracts.

The first two seem normal, magical pets and magic weapons, which should directly improve combat capabilities.

But his primary goal now is not to fight.

Moreover, he doesn't know how to use weapons, such as swords, guns, sticks, etc., and he doesn't know any techniques.

As for magical pets, he has no hobby of raising pets, or to be more precise, no hobby of raising real pets. However, he has installed desktop pets on his computer while at work and even modified the programs himself. It is quite interesting to interact with them while slacking off.

Therefore, for Jia Xiu, the only option he could choose was the last magic book.

But this is the magic contract of the book.

"Automatically correct and supplement rune composition."

Is this right?
In my impression, the Book of Magic Contract should be a magic book that can record and use spells of other professions.

This modified version is only useful for spellcasters who spend all day thinking about how to modify spells.

Coincidentally, that was Jia Xiu.

【Select the Magic Contract of Book】

【confirm】

The moment he confirmed his choice, a hexagram array outlined by magic appeared in front of Jia Xiu. Silver-white flames rose, and the flying pages of the book condensed in the flames, as if reversing the burning process of a book.

After a few seconds, the flames died down and a solid book fell into his hands.

Jia Xiu took a look at the magic book. It looked very simple and not as sophisticated as the experimental instruction manual.

But the value of a book is not determined by its cover.

He opened the book and found a spell recorded on it to summon the book and clear the other contents in the book.

It also notes the enchantment of this book. Non-contractors cannot use the unique functions of this book. This book will be automatically destroyed one day after being separated from the contractor. This book can be summoned again one day after being destroyed.

It can be said that it is very thoughtful.

Jia Xiu decided to test the main functions first.

As soon as he wrote down the runes for elementary healing, he immediately noticed the difference in the book.

As soon as the rune was half drawn, the book recognized which runes it might be and provided optional auto-completion.

And when he deliberately draws a rune incorrectly, he will immediately mark the wrong rune in red.

It’s so convenient, so convenient that Jia Xiu was a little touched.

This is not a magic book, it is an editor and debugger.

In the past, when there was an error in spell modification, in order to figure out where the problem was in the step from code to rune, I would often spend a whole day with a cup of tea and no cigarettes to investigate one bug.

There is no other way except to watch it hard.

Now Jia Xiu has figured out the upgrade path for this unconventional sorcerer.

I guess after upgrading, I can put together a complete set of integrated development environment tools.

After unlocking the new magic contract, Jia Xiu began to allocate two attribute points.

A little added to perception.

This is to find out where the most important attributes of the spell can be adjusted, and upgrade them first.

Another point was not added to his intelligence, which was sufficient for the time being, but was added to his physique.

The body is the capital of scientific research, so it’s always a good idea to add some to it.

More importantly, you can unlock a talent after increasing your physique by +1.

【属性：力量4/敏捷3/体质5/智力8/感知8/魅力4】

[Constitution reaches level 5, unlocking "Energetic"]

[From now on, you only need 4 hours of sleep a day to stay energetic. When you need sleep, you can fall asleep quickly and steadily, and you have a certain immunity to hypnotic effects.]

Jia Xiu has been thinking about this magical skill for a long time.

He only slept 4 hours a day and was able to fall asleep quickly. He had only seen this ability in successful literature.

When he was in high school, sleeping 6 hours a day was enough for him to walk into telephone poles during the day. If he didn't sleep for ten hours a day, he couldn't stay awake at all.

This now means 6 more hours of research time per day, and an extra full day every 4 days, which is extremely useful.

Jia Xiu looked at the clock in the laboratory. Normally, he would go to bed in three hours, and he would start to feel sleepy at this time, but now he felt that he had plenty of time.

He left the laboratory, locked the door, and went straight to the association's library. As a level 3 official member of the association, he was finally eligible to borrow books.

The experience requirements for level 4 are much higher than before, and more spells worth researching are needed.

The library of the Spellcaster Association in Ximu Town is not big and does not have many collections. It has a total of eight bookshelves. It can be considered a library at most. Calling it a library is pure exaggeration.

Each bookshelf has a label with the level of the spell book written on it.

Half of them are 0-level tricks, two are 1-level spells, and the remaining two are 2-level and 3-level spells respectively, so the highest is 3-level.

Full of the atmosphere of a "newbie village".

However, for Jia Xiu, who had just reached LV3, this was enough. According to the feedback from the detection spell, the research value of the spells here was roughly the same, so Jia Xiu chose according to his own interests.

"Primary Activation Technique, a relative of Healing Technique, can speed up metabolism and relieve fatigue. Take one."

"Acid Splash, fires a ball of acid, dealing corrosive damage and carrying away."

"Light, how can a spellcaster not know how to use Light? Come on."

"Dark vision, it seems to be quite useful..."

"Mage Armor..."

Jia Xiu was like a shark that was accidentally caught by a fishing boat, and all he could see on the boat was "food".

After a while, he came to the lending office with a stack of spell books, scaring the staff on duty.

"You're borrowing so much at once, can you finish studying?"

The staff member asked uncertainly. If Master Margaret had not asked the association to take care of Jia Xiu, he would have suspected that he was here to run away with the book.

"If you can't finish learning, just take it as a way to gain more knowledge."

Jia Xiu answered casually.

In fact, he was very confident that he could learn all of them. With the help of the Rune Eye, he could learn a new spell much faster than his ordinary spellcasters.

He could learn the magic that usually takes an apprentice two or three months to master in just a dozen days.

"Well, may the elements guide you."

As the staff member spoke, he stamped the magic seal on Jia Xiu's library card.

Holding the borrowed book, Jia Xiu was as excited as a player who had just bought a long-awaited new game. He ran back to the laboratory quickly, eager to "download the game" into his brain.

It's been quite busy during this period...

……

At this time, in the Lord's Mansion of Ximu Town.

In the room on the south side of the second floor, the heavy wooden door could not block out the shrill screams coming from inside.

"Ah - be gentle, ah! It hurts, it hurts, slowly, let me slowly first, do you have any wine..."

In the room, Hays was half lying on the bed, sweating profusely and breathing heavily. He picked up the bottle of wine and took a few big gulps, but it still did not ease the painful look on his face.

"Mr. Hays, are you ready?"

At his feet, there was a hunter holding a sharp knife.

As for why it was a hunter and not a doctor, it was because the best doctor in town had already been there.

There is no good way to deal with Hays's toenails, and the solution given is to pull them out completely.

This frightened Hays and he refused firmly.

Later, I went to see a priest, but the priest's healing blessing could only reduce the swelling of the toe, but could not solve the problem from the root. The toenail was still stuck there, and the swelling returned two hours after the treatment.

In desperation, he heard from a hunter who knew how to treat this disease.

Use a narrow-headed sharp knife to cut off the curved part of the toenail, and then fill the nail groove with cotton so that the newly grown toenails on both sides are padded with cotton and no longer get stuck deeply in the nail groove.

Although it still requires surgery, it sounds better than having the entire toenail removed.

"Ready."

Hays gritted his teeth and kept mentally preparing himself.

You're a tough guy, you're a tough guy...

"Then I'll cut it."

The hunter exerted force with his knife-holding hand.

"Oh, Mom..."

Hayes howled at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with tears.

A few minutes later.

The hunter put away his sharp knife, and successfully removed several hook-like toenails stained with pus and blood.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency. The treatment was very successful... Your Excellency Hayes!"

I saw Hayes lying on the bed with his neck tilted, his eyes dull and empty, and his shirt soaked.

He seemed to be in good condition, but in fact he had been unconscious for a while.

After ten minutes, Hayes's eyes finally focused.

He waved his hand and called over his most trusted personal servant.

"Contact the cultists outside of town and have them kidnap Jia Xiu. Either as a sacrifice or as a test subject, I have only one request."

Hays gnashed his teeth and said, "I want him dead!"
