Chapter 82: Drawing Cards!

Looking at the 9 spirits before him, Ashe had to do some broadcast calisthenics to calm his excited mood.

Last night’s virtual world exploration, they had harvested a full 12 spirits!

Among them, 3 that were said to be able to sell for a good price were taken away by the Swordswoman, but even so, Ashe’s harvest this night could almost top the total harvest of the past few days!

Not to mention they also got 2 experience orbs!

Ashe felt that unless he drew out new virtual world exploration artifacts again, it would be very difficult to replicate last night’s results before White Wings was fully deployed.

And last night’s experience also deeply proved the life lesson he had summed up while at work: working is not as good as slacking off, slacking off is not as good as exploitation, exploitation is not as good as reaping the rewards...

When they discovered a wild mage nearby in the virtual world map, Ashe and his companions’ first reaction was to flee – not because their conscience was not yet lost and they were unwilling to rob an unfamiliar mage they had never met before, but because they were afraid neither of them was even a match for one of the opponent’s hands!

That’s right, Ashe was very sure that the two of them together could not beat the other person alone!

They had a good measure of their own strength: whether it was the Swordswoman or himself, they had reached their current strength through forcing growth, miracles seldom happened, and they barely had any combat systems.

The Swordswoman was still a little better, after all, her talent was evident, and she only needed to spend some time to catch up. Ashe was simply a thigh hanger, besides normal attacks he could only summon doppelgangers to send out, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as ‘the weakest of the combat mages of the same rank’.

Bullying the mage projections of Legacy Isle a little, beating up some knowledge creatures a bit, was already their limit, and it even felt a little beyond their capabilities – especially after condensing more than half of White Wings, the intensity of the battles they encountered rose by a level, almost exhausting their arcane energy every time, barely able to defeat their enemies with great difficulty.

Mages like Ashe and his companion were undoubtedly anomalies in the Sea of Knowledge. After all, they had only been mages for seven days. Among normal mages, they belonged to the stage where they hadn’t even left the starting village yet, still at the novice phase of getting familiar with the game mechanics!The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

Whereas the mage who could appear nearby them must have condensed more than half of White Wings, spent over a month, or even half a year, a year was also likely exploring the virtual world!

The advantage of time was enough to create a huge gap at this point. To use a game analogy, Ashe and his companion were like players who had leveled up by cheating, but didn’t do any of the class missions, main missions, side missions, and didn’t even know how to combo their attacks.

And because their level had increased, the Gate of Truth would only transport them to higher level monster areas!

Fortunately, the two of them were bound as a team, if it was another solo mage who experienced their situation, they would have long been killed and forced to transmigrate by the high level knowledge creatures of the area.

It looked like a constantly spinning water ball, with a little water wing, held trembling in the hand, appearing extremely cute.

“Circulate”

“Single-Wing Spirit”

“Restriction: The targets affected must have a water source in their bodies.”

“Basic Effect: Transfer all effects (instant damage, persistent effects) received by the first target to the second target, the transfer speed varies according to factors like the distance between the two targets.”

“Passive Effect: When the mage’s body contains liquid, it can reduce physical impacts suffered.”

“‘Water flows to low places.'”

Having gathered the doppelganger, sword heart, and circulation spirits, Ashe already possessed all the prerequisites to cast the ‘Slash Me’ miracle!

Next he just needed to hurry up and grasp the spirits, reaching the point where he could induce virtual world resonance even with his arcane energy restricted in prison, then he could try casting the miracle in a state where spells were prohibited!

Putting away the circulation spirit, Ashe opened Aurora’s Sorcerer Handbook and chose to charge all the remaining 8 spirits!

1 spirit was worth 8 points, so 8 spirits were 64 points. Adding the previous 40 points, Ashe now had a whopping 104 points, enough to purchase a ‘bunch of source crystals’!

Purchase successful!

Obtained 20 source crystals!

Then triggered the first recharge bonus, obtaining another 40 source crystals!

Plus the 4 source crystals from checking in these three days, totaling 44 source crystals, allowing 14 divinations!

It’s my turn, time to draw cards!
