SEC Chapter 24: Job Change, Novice Mage
Chapter 24: Job Change, Novice Mage
The next day.
It was still a sweltering morning.
Lin Chuan opened his eyes to the notification sound from the Lord System.
"Ding-dong."
"Snow Wolf Rapid Fire Tower completed."
"The Snow Wolf Summoning Tower is now complete."
"The Snow Wolf Healing Halo Tower is now complete."
These three arrow towers are rewards for completing the game.
The rapid-fire tower doesn't deal much damage, similar to the wolf fang arrow tower, but it fires very quickly, attacking ten times per second.
Summoning the arrow tower allows you to summon ten snow wolves for combat, scouting, and riding.
The Healing Aura Tower accelerates the recovery of injuries and stamina for units within its range.
"Ding-dong."
"The territory's arrow tower combat power has reached 1200 points. The first lord to break through 1000 combat power has obtained a combat power achievement chest*1."
A battle power ranking will be launched simultaneously.
A leaderboard appeared on the virtual panel that popped up in the system.
The tallest is Lin Chuan.
The territory's arrow tower has a combat power of 1200.
Territory Legion combat power: 990.
With a total combat power of 2190, it ranks first in the Dark Forest.
Lin Chuan is the only lord on the entire list.
To be included in the rankings, you need at least one combat power exceeding 1000 points.
Based on this list, Lin Chuan deduced that the current Dark Forest Lord's strength is not too great.
Then he looked at the combat strength of his own territory's legions.
"990 points."
"We're just 10 points away from breaking 1,000."
No rush, change your job first.
They brought out the novice mage core.
"Ding-dong."
"Job change successful. Advance to novice mage. Attributes increased. Gained 5 spell slots."
"Gain the spells Fireball, Fire Wall, Mist, Magic Shield, and Featherfall."
Starting as a novice mage, Lin Chuan had the strength to fight.
Five skills correspond to five spell slots. You can use the skills by equipping them to the spell slots.
Using skills consumes a corresponding amount of mana.
These skills include two types of damage. Among them, Fireball can stun, Fire Wall is an area-of-effect spell, Mist can trap enemies, Magic Shield provides protection, and Feather Fall can prevent you from falling to your death from a height.
These are all highly practical spells.
To obtain better spells, one must prepare a magic book and copy down the spells from memory.
Then replace the spell in the spell slot.
After the upgrade, Lin Chuan's own attributes were greatly enhanced.
"Current strength."
"Even without using magic, you can easily destroy easy-difficulty defense towers with just a sword."
Next comes the upgrade.
After changing jobs, each level requires 10,000 experience points.
Upgrade by one level, gain an additional spell slot, and increase your own attributes.
"Lords generally do not need to go out to fight."
"But it's needed in the secret realm."
After leveling up, Lin Chuan's individual combat strength is not as good as Arthur's, but he is ranked second in the territory.
"I'll handle the job change myself."
"The next two tasks are upgrading the territory's title and finding the missing knight Edmund."
As for the spy mission, it will have to be postponed for now.
At the same time, reconnaissance of the territory cannot be stopped.
He instructed Rhea to cross the goblin lair and scout a wider area of territory.
For this reason, Lin Chuan summoned ten snow wolves.
Raya's Strongbow Guards do not have the Riding skill.
They then went to the market and bought ten more riding skill books for them to learn.
Upgrade your knight with gold coins until you reach 50 points, then you'll be able to barely control the snow wolf.
Lin Chuan's Strongbow Guards have also undergone a significant upgrade.
The first horse archer unit was formed.
Although there was some water, at least I could ride the snow wolf.
"Your Lordship"
"I can sense the intense dark power outside."
"We will definitely find their source."
Raya said solemnly.
Lin Chuan upgraded his riding skills to 85 points, which was already the limit.
It's not the limit of Lin Chuan's gold coins, but the limit of Raya's aptitude.
Of course, a lot of gold coins were spent; Raya alone spent 8.5 gold coins.
Including the other strong archer guards, the total number is likely to be several hundred thousand.
The lower the aptitude, the more expensive it is to upgrade skills with gold coins.
"Go."
"Don't die."
"Come back immediately if you encounter danger."
This was Lin Chuan's only request, after all, their team had spent a considerable amount of money.
A riding skill book costs 10 gold coins.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
After the snow wolf left, Lin Chuan looked towards the warehouse.
"Cavalry training is really expensive."
"In the future, when training cavalry, we must find qualified units."
I'm running low on gold coins, so I sold some of the supplies I collected last night to bring my gold coins back to 80.
Lin Chuan remembered his promise to Wei Shen yesterday.
"This guy still owes me a title-granting task."
"I'm not sure if I can complete this mission, but I'll get this mission item first."
When they contacted Wei Shen to demand the money, Wei Shen pleaded poverty.
"Boss, Brother Lin."
"I was defeated in the secret realm last night."
"They did not evacuate."
"Not only is the mission gone, but all the equipment has been lost."
"Your title quest document has not been found either."
"I really can't afford it."
Lin Chuan had been mentally prepared for this. Since the other party couldn't produce anything, he would simply offer something else.
"Special units are also acceptable."
"Items for changing jobs are also acceptable."
"Settle the debt today."
"Otherwise, you will be forced to pay compensation when the contract expires."
Once forced compensation is triggered, the other party's warehouse will be opened to Lin Chuan.
He can go inside and take any item until the conditions for tenfold compensation are met.
Upon hearing this, Wei Shen panicked.
He shouted hurriedly.
"etc."
"Yes, I have others."
Wei Shen is incredibly lucky.
I've been really into exploring the secret realm these past few days, and I've gotten a lot of good stuff in the Snow Wolf Secret Realm.
It was originally meant for my own use.
Now I have no choice but to reluctantly take it out.
"Will this... will this work?"
"Blueprints for the construction of a magic laboratory."
nice one!
Lin Chuan is in dire need of it.
This building can be upgraded to a magic academy later.
This will allow for the stable training of magicians.
Furthermore, the magic laboratory can also train magic apprentices.
There are only a few, at most 10.
Forming a legion of mages is certainly not enough, but a magic laboratory can research some magical items.
It is also a way to make money.
"Yes, but not enough!"
This wasn't because Lin Chuan was greedy; it was simply because the items for the title quest were worth that price at the moment.
On the contrary, the blueprints for this magic laboratory are not expensive.
Most lords do not have mage heroes.
"I knew this would happen."
"I knew it."
Wei Shen shed tears of regret.
"I should have known better than to buy his equipment."
"I should have known better than to challenge the town center."
After regretting it for a while, Wei Shen gritted his teeth and took out another item from the warehouse.
Wei Shen himself can use this.
It was originally intended for our own heroes.
But the conditions for becoming a hero have not yet been met.
Now we have no choice but to give up, even though it hurts.
"Add this, and it'll be fine."
"elder brother."
"Please, please let me go."
"I just suffered heavy losses."
"I'm really broke now."
Wei Shen cried out, pleading his poverty.
Lin Chuan's eyes lit up when he saw the items the other party had taken out.
"good."
"I can use it."
"But it can only be used by specific units, how about this?"
"Give me another secret realm token, the easy one."
