Chapter 3

That’s right, Li Huan had already thought of a way to get close to Candace and obtain his evil plan!

That was to work hard in leveling up, and perform extraordinarily well to attract Candace’s attention!

That method presented both an opportunity and a crisis. But only by venturing into the tiger’s lair would he be able to capture the tiger’s cubs! Rather than just sit and wait for death, why not take the initiative to attack?

“What are you laughing at? How could you still have the cheek to laugh? You probably didn’t listen to anything I said just now!”

The instructor flew into a rage, raising his voice by an octave as he shouted.

“I’m not! I didn’t! It’s true! I listened very attentively! How could I dare to not listen to your careful teachings!”

“Fine, fine! You brat. It’s bad enough that you didn’t listen attentively. How dare you also use sarcasm here! Fine! Let me ask you then. If you’re not able to answer, you will sweep the entire Mage Tower!”

“Okay!”

When he heard Li Huan reply without hesitation, the instructor was a little stunned. Why was that brat deviating from common practice? Shouldn’t Li Huan immediately give in, and then accept a bit more scolding from him?

“Cough, cough! After selecting the Mage class, which level can the class be changed?”

“Level 10!”

“This kind of question… I have no enmity with you, sir. Why do you treat me as a fool?” Li Huan thought.

“The main source of experience for a Mage to level up is…”

“Meditation! A Mage can absorb the Magic Aura between heaven and earth through meditation! However, this method is not recommended for later stages. It’s too inefficient.”

Li Huan answered the questions smoothly.

“Among the various forms that a Mage can take after a class change, the most difficult is…”

“Summoner! Because, in a way, Summoners have to learn several different spells. They can be a C or T, or in certain situations, even a healer. If they want to go on a pure violence route, it is recommended that they choose elemental spells. The resources needed will be relatively easier to obtain. But even for a weaker version of a Mage, the strength of a Summoner will also…”

It was no longer a Mage instructor quizzing a student. It was a boss at the highest level guiding newbies. Just as Li Huan began to blabber, he suddenly remembered that it was only the first version of the game. So he hurriedly shut his mouth.

Everyone, including the instructor, was dumbstruck. There was complete silence throughout Mage Tower.

“Good, good. You sit down first. Make sure you pay attention next time. Let’s end today’s theory class here. Everyone, start meditating!”

The instructor was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head in disbelief.

That was the exact effect Li Huan wanted! Only by continually telling others about his abilities like that, could he gain more attention!

That’s right. In the early stages, Mages leveled up by obtaining Magic Aura through meditation.

Just that alone had dissuaded many players from becoming Mages.

In a somatosensory game, Warriors swung big axes and hacked wildly. Archers lifted bows and arrows, and shot all over the place. Even Priests had some form of control in their usage of Holy Light.

Which of those was less interesting than sitting completely still?

Even if not dissuaded by such a boring level up method, calming the heart and mind down to meditate was also an extremely difficult process.

To meditate, it was not sufficient to just sit there in a daze.

The Heart Rate and outputs like Bio-Electricity had to be kept stable.

Only then could experience be gained from meditation.

It had only been half an hour since they started.

Already, there were apprentices who could no longer hold on, and had fallen from their meditation positions.

Just trying to enter a meditative state was very difficult for beginner meditators. After an entire day of fumbling around, just one to two hours of effective meditation might be achieved.

And that would already be considered quite a bit of talent.

But who was Li Huan? Li Huan had been a Level 200 Demigod in his previous life. To him, high-efficiency meditation was as simple as eating and drinking.

Even more extraordinary than that was Li Huan being able to enter a meditative state at any place, any time. He could meditate and absorb Magic Aura even while sleeping.

More and more Mage apprentices became exhausted, and left the classroom.

In the end, Li Huan was the only one left meditating in Mage Tower.

Just like that, a few days passed.

Li Huan had already reached Level 2. He realized that Candace was usually not the one teaching theory classes. Candace would only come over to have a look whenever they meditated as a group.

He was definitely observing to see if there were any good newbies whom he could take away!

Already, Li Huan had felt Candace’s terrifying secret gaze on him countless times.

On the 10th day in Mage Tower, a light blue halo emanated from Li Huan.

“It’s already been ten days. Why am I only at Level 3? Sigh, leveling up in the early stages is really slow. It should get faster after the class change.”

Li Huan was still a bit anxious, despite having felt the changes brought about by his progress.

“Wow, Li Huan! Are you not going to leave us any chance?”

“That’s right, Li Huan! If you continue like this, will you be able to change classes in half a year’s time?”

“That won’t do! I can’t waste time talking to you guys anymore! I have to hurry up and meditate!”

The person who had said that was ranked the highest among the Mage apprentices. He had already meditated for who knows how long! Yet he was only at Level 4! Seeing that Li Huan was about to surpass him, it was only natural that he would be anxious!

The Mage apprentices who surrounded Li Huan looked at him with envy. That Li Huan. It was bad enough that he did not listen during theory classes at all. 10 days! 10 days and he rose from Level 1 to Level 3!

Change classes in half a year? Were they complimenting him, or scolding him? Li Huan was speechless.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

He lifted his head abruptly.

From the top of Mage Tower, Candace was looking at him with satisfaction. Under the illumination of Spirit Light from within Mage Tower, that pair of eyes felt like the eyes of a demon to Li Huan.

“Kid, you’re really incredible! If you can achieve the feat of changing classes within half a year, the Arch Mage will surely treat you well! I envy you so much!”

That person had cursed Li Huan twice in one sentence. He was eager to see Li Huan dead, wasn’t he…

But to accomplish his plan, Li Huan responded accordingly.

“Ah, right right right! How great it would be to receive the guidance of the Arch Mage! Who wouldn’t want to become the direct disciple of the number one Mage in Luca Town, right?”

“Hahaha! Let me congratulate you in advance then!”

…

10 days later, Level 4.

That pair of eyes in the dark increasingly burned with passion!

Another 10 days passed.

Li Huan suddenly opened his eyes while meditating!

Level 5!

“Hahahahaha! I didn’t expect it at all! I didn’t expect a genius like that to come out of my Mage Tower!”

As soon as Li Huan leveled up, Candace leapt from Mage Tower.

When Candace stood in front of Li Huan, Li Huan quickly plastered a smile on his face.

Candace was clearly smiling back. But behind that mask, Li Huan felt an endless chill.
