Chapter 48: Magic Coin and Protective Ring


    Spending is a big thing, but to improve his strength, Su Nan never hesitated to spend money.


    After consuming the Super Ability Potion, his meditation efficiency reached an astonishing level.


    After four hours of meditation, the proficiency of the Star Ring Meditation Method directly surged by 514 points, and his Spiritual Power also increased by 0.06.


    The efficiency was more than six times higher than when he was in ck Stone City.


    “The Super Ability Potion and Divine Blood Amber have excellentpatibility.”


    Su Nan was overjoyed.


    Besides meditation, the effect of the Super Ability Potion also significantly boosted his progress in learning magic.


    In just one day, the learning progress of [Magic Missile] exceeded 5%.This meant that he could master a new First-Ring Spell within twenty days at most.


    “High-level resources are truly the guarantee for rapid strength improvement.”


    Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief, delighted, and decided to stay in the Baron of Silvermoon’s mansion for a while, making thorough preparations before entering the manor to deal with the evil spirit.


    In the following days, Su Nan settled down in the mansion.


    Apart from meditating and learning magic, he repaired magical items, asionally teased Amy, and petted the cat.


    As for the Infiltrator, he was released from Stone Bell City and sent to hunt for food in the nearby mountains.


    Under the dual boost of the Super Ability Potion and Divine Blood Amber, the proficiency of the Star Ring Meditation Method soared like a rocket.


    On the thirteenth day in the mansion.


    The Star Ring Meditation Method sessfully reached level 5.


    Su Nan also sessfully built his fourth Star Ring.


    [Su Nan · Arnest, Human Male, 17 years old]


    [Spirit 17.34 / Constitution 13.77]


    [Skills]


    Star Ring Meditation Method Lv5 (35/30000)


    Potion Making Lv3 (727/6000)


    Bio-Modification Lv2 (319/3000)


    Puppetry Refining Lv2 (1701/3000)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    “Thirty thousand proficiency, I can max it out in less than two months.”


    The thought of building the fifth Star Ring soon filled Su Nan with joy.


    On the twentieth day in the mansion.


    Su Nan sessfully mastered [Magic Missile].


    This was his first offensive First-Ring Spell.


    [Magic Missile] effect: It shoots highly condensed energy particles from the palm, and the number and power of the missiles depend on the caster’s Spiritual Power and casting proficiency.


    The magic appearing on the panel meant that the casting proficiency had already reached the level ofplete mastery.


    With Su Nan’s Spiritual Power approaching 18, he could simultaneously release a maximum of three Magic Missiles.


    He had tested it, and a single Magic Missile could pierce through two centimeters of ck iron te.


    Even a Great Knight wearing heavy armor would definitely not feel good after taking a Magic Missile.


    “When my Spiritual Power increases in the future, I will be able to release dozens of Magic Missiles simultaneously, forming a barrage attack. That’s when the power will be terrifying!”


    Amy’s owner left behind a total of eight books on magic model.


    Besides [Magic Missile], there were also [Burning Hand], [Magic rm], [Weakening Ray], [Understand Language], [Magical Disguise], [Seven-Colored Spiritual Light], and [Feather Fall].


    Among them, only [Burning Hand], [Weakening Ray], and [Seven-Colored Spiritual Light] werebat-oriented spells.


    Su Nan pondered and decided to learn [Weakening Ray] next.


    Although Rune Gems were powerful, each use consumed more than ten gold coins.


    In a battle, it often consumed gems worth fifty to sixty gold coins.


    Too expensive!


    Su Nan decided to use magic and energy particle maniption to fight whenever possible.


    Unless he encountered a tough enemy, he would use Rune Gems.


    Otherwise, even a fortune wouldn’tst with such consumption.


    “Unfortunately, Super Magic Techniques require enough Spiritual Power to master, and I can only cultivate them after advancing to a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice. Otherwise, mastering Spell Silent Casting and Spell Instant Casting would make it much easier to cast spells in battle.”


    On the twenty-fifth day in the mansion.


    Su Nan finally finished repairing the two magical items.


    He ced the repaired magical items in the magic cube, and the corresponding information quickly appeared.


    [Protective Ring (Alchemy / Minor Magical Item), activates to form an invisible protective force field on the body, number of uses 3/3, can be restored by injecting Spiritual Power or automatically absorbing free energy particles.]


    [Magic Coin (Alchemy / Minor Magical Item), activates to randomly summon a creature from another world, obeying the user’s instructions. The creature will disappear after serving the user for half an hour or dying.]


    The Protective Ring looked like an ordinary copper ring, very inconspicuous.


    This was in line with the wizards’ pursuit of practicality.


    They often liked to make magical items less noticeable so that the enemy wouldn’t pay too much attention to them in battle, giving them an early advantage.


    Su Nan tested it and found that the protective force field generated by the Protective Ring was not low in defense, almost as good as Shield Spell.


    However, its advantage over Shield Spell was that it had arger defense area and could provide 360-degree protection against attacks from all directions without blind spots.


    Unlike Shield Spell, which could only defend against attacks from a single direction, if it encountered attacks from multiple directions simultaneously, it could not block them all.


    Counting the Protective Ring, Su Nan now had two ring-type Minor Magical Items in his possession.


    The other Magic Coin was a rare summoning-type magical item with an effect simr to Level 1 Summoning Technique.


    The good thing was that the creature summoned by the Magic Coin had a strength level between a Junior Great Knight and a Peak Great Knight.


    This was much stronger than Level 1 Summoning Technique.


    In Su Nan’s opinion, the Magic Coin was actually very close to a Twilight-level magical item.


    During the process of repairing these two magical items, Su Nan’s [Magical Item Manufacturing] learning progress also reached 100%, and he sessfully mastered this skill.


    “Just in time, I got a copy of [A Complete Guide to Low-Level Magical Items] earlier. I can try to manufacture magical items after I go back to ck Stone City.”


    A powerful wizard would certainly have arge number of magical items.


    After all, even the most talented wizard couldn’t be without weaknesses.


    The weak points in the battle system had to be made up for with magical items.


    “Preparationsplete, the next step is to deal with the evil spirit.”


    With the Magic Coin and Protective Ring, Su Nan felt more confident about his uing actions.


    When the Baron of Silvermoon received a report from the steward that Lord Ang said he could act, he was truly relieved.


    Although the other party had told him beforehand that he needed to prepare for a while to ensure theplete solution of the evil spirit, seeing that twenty-plus days had passed and Ang still showed no signs of action, he couldn’t help but be increasingly anxious.


    Every day that passed, the evil spirit in Cubero Manor grew stronger.


    If it dragged on too long, it might reach an irreversible point.


    Luckily, the wizard finally agreed to act!


    The Baron of Silvermoon immediately decided, “Gather everyone, go to Cubero Manor!”
