Chapter 356: 131. Counterfeit Genius_4
Translator: 549690339
The Dusk Giant that fell from the sky and landed on the ground of the Tatis Ancient Dynasty came about in this way.
The Dusk Giant is essentially a form of star pollution.
The Star Filtering Net could only filter out star pollutants but couldn’t interfere with where they landed.
Considering the ratio of land to ocean in this world, 80% of the star pollutants that passed through the Star Filtering Net would likely end up in the ocean, while only 20% would land on the ground.
If a star pollutant was small enough to be held by a human, it could potentially be absorbed by someone like Noland Lee.
After a painless or painful absorption process, the star pollutant would eventually be transformed into an extraordinary trait that would accompany that person for the rest of their life.
No one else would notice this process, and those chosen by the star pollutant would only experience common physiological symptoms, such as fever, stomachache, and palpitations, which are not likely to raise concerns.
Only when they suddenly discovered that they possessed some extraordinary abilities would they realize that they were different from others.
These people often encounter magical items that had fallen from the Ulnas Circle due to their outstanding abilities compared to their peers. As long as they made slight use of their extraordinary traits, they could easily establish mental contact with the main lecturers within the Ulnas Circle.
By the time Noland was demonstrating his magical talent, he had already thought of excuses for all his anomalies.
He was a magic genius.
A magic genius created by star pollution.
As for attracting unnecessary attention because of his excessive genius, Noland admitted that he did indeed feel somewhat apprehensive before learning about “star pollutants” and “protective nets”.
But after carefully listening to Denise Green’s explanations of secrets and the exploits of many famous people, he was sure that there was no need for him to shy away anymore.
Because there were simply too many geniuses created by star pollutants.
Not to mention easily mastering multiple magical skills, there were even plenty of people who became Seventh Ring Wizards in an instant.
Compared to these people who achieved great success overnight and directly transformed from ordinary people into main lecturers, Noland felt that his extraordinary abilities were still not impressive enough.
With such impressive precedents, Noland decided to take advantage of Samuelson’s inability to resist and go all out.
Thus, the scene of him using mental magic calmly unfolded.
“What do you think this extraordinary trait of mine is called, Denise?” Noland asked while monitoring the temporary camp.
“Hmm…” Denise Green lightly pinched her chin and contemplated:
“Stardust Level ‘Exceptional Memory’;
“Star Stone Level ‘Magic Multi-tasker’;
“Star Land Level ‘Magic Proficient’ and ‘Innate Wizard’;
“You might possess one of these four extraordinary traits. Star Sphere Level and Star System Level extraordinary traits are not something one person can possess.
“To determine which extraordinary trait you possess, you’ll have to go to the Ulnas Circle and take a trait test.”
As Denise’s words fell, the system sent a message.
You have gained knowledge about “Extraordinary Traits”.
All your panel information has been updated simultaneously, adding an “Extraordinary Traits” column and corresponding classification method.
Noland glanced at the information in his mind and found it unremarkable.
All the panel information he had acquired would update automatically as his knowledge base increased.
After cramming basic knowledge about the realm of wizards, he received no fewer than a hundred system messages, all related to updating panel information.
Among them were the seven-level classification methods of Stardust Level, Star Stone Level, Star Land Level, Star Sphere Level, Star System Level, Constellation Level, and Star Domain Level.
This was the classification method used in the Ulnas Circle to divide extraordinary traits and star pollution. When it comes to categorizing the quality of magical items, they generally use four broad levels: Common, High Order, Holy Objects, and Star.
Two other sets of classification methods were also used within the Golden Federation and Tatis Empire.
These classification methods were all presented on the panel information, causing the sections related to levels, tiers, and classifications to be cluttered.
Noland simply collapsed the smaller classification methods and unified them using the Ulnas Circle’s classification method.
Given time, when he reaches the top of the world, he plans to remodel this hard-to-remember classification method and categorize them uniformly using colors and designations.
Gray inferior, white ordinary, green excellent, blue fine, purple epic, orange legendary, and colorful eternal.
This is so much easier to remember.
What’s the point of names like “Stardust” and “Star Stone”?
It’s too confusing.
The color grading method used in games is far simpler and more straightforward.
Of course, there are still tens or hundreds of thousands of points of Soul Strength needed to achieve this great goal, comparable to “unifying text and track.”
For now, Noland’s focus was still on sweeping the Aberration Den.
Time was spent observing the campsite.
A full three hours passed, and no Aberrations appeared near the temporary camp to reclaim the Life Elixir.
This coincided with the speculation that “Samuelson can’t get away.”
Noland terminated “Mind View” and took out a Battle Potion produced by the Golden Federation and drank it.
A surging and powerful force emerged from the depths of his body, spreading to his limbs, and all fatigue was swept away.
“Denise, I’m leaving,” Noland stood up and warned the quiet lady who was watching him:
“After I’m gone, don’t just focus on reading, pay attention to your surroundings. If you encounter any trouble on the ground, I won’t be able to appear in front of you immediately.”
“Yes!”
Denise nodded seriously, put away the book in front of her, and held the magic wand made from unicorn hair and purple wooden garment in her hand:
“Don’t worry, I won’t be distracted. As soon as an enemy appears, I’ll immediately move to another place and wait for you.”
Noland felt a little worried about her, rummaged in his pocket, took out two heart-control spiders and handed them over, then swiftly flew away with a parting word.
“Keep them safe, Denise. These little things I’ve made can help you deal with enemies in a pinch.”
Denise carefully observed the heart-control spiders while holding them.
Hearing Noland say that he made them himself, Denise looked up in surprise but only saw his departing figure.
“Return safely, Noland. I’ll protect you.” Denise spoke through Soul Perception, her tone both determined and tender.
Noland knew it was because of his unique abilities on display.
“Protection is mutual, Denise. I’ll help you fend off the other companion witches. Tonight is very important to me, so stay sharp.”
“Yes!”
