Chapter 297 003 Caster Potential

Chapter 297 003. Caster Potential

Leo Duretto returned to his dilapidated house and casually threw the goods and toys he had snatched from the young men who came back from the city today on the table. He immediately lay lazily on the bed, leaning against the bare wall, squinting his eyes and resting comfortably.

"Tsk, these descendants of self-cultivating farmers with land and fields at home, both Xisha oranges and snake fruit, all products of the academy that enhance brain power, really think that they can enter the academy as long as they do the questions meticulously?"

Leo curled his lips and flipped through the things in his pocket. He mocked the delusion of these young people, but in fact he was very jealous.

If his parents had not died early, he would not have to rob other people's supplies in this way. Who doesn't want to get rid of the poor and remote Lanju Village?

It is already the interstellar era. No young people are willing to stay in such a rural countryside under the temptation of the universe. Those noble wizards often promote: if you go to the magic academy, get a diploma and serve in the fleet for two years, you can become a social elite, earn a high income of 400 silver essences per month, and settle down and buy a house in any city you like.

The villagers of Lanju Village are quite aware of such generous welfare benefits.

Their ancestors were laborers working and serving on this educational planet. Many of them changed their fate through reading. The most important thing is that through studying, they changed their own and their family's status, from a laborer with a monthly income of 30 silver essences to a combat wizard or a monk bureaucrat.

Rio Duretto is full of jealousy for the young people in his hometown. His parents died early, and the family's fields were sold to the government at a low price by relatives a long time ago. In a fit of anger, he stopped interacting with his relatives and set up his own business.

Over the years, Leo has not been idle all the time. He has a good physique and is quite strong among the younger generation. However, his appearance is somewhat intimidating. With his triangular eyes, messy blond hair like straw, and his burly physique, he is exactly like the barbarians recorded in ancient history.

It is naturally difficult to make a living with such appearance. He can only survive by stealing and occasionally doing odd jobs.

While Leo was actively developing his side business into a homepage, his peers had already started to prepare for the exam and participated in more than three magic qualification tests.

Unlike the demonization and delusion of the magic civilization in the past, which was considered to be a kind of retro monarchy - in fact, the magic civilization is very accurate in selecting talents. Due to the early start of magic technology and magic workshop system, the civilization of Crystal Tower is a typical parliamentary politics. From factories to the front line, from pioneers to civil service groups, it is always thirsty for knowledge of various spellcasters.

Even more difficult for the magic civilization to form aristocratic families.

The fundamental reason is that the potential of spellcasters will degenerate.

Unless they are extremely advanced magical creatures, such as dragons and elves, in the case of ordinary biological populations, the potential of spellcasters will often be exhausted in two generations, and the next appearance may be seven or eight generations later.

The problem is that dragons and elves simply disdain to join a civilization that is not recognized like yours. You can leave some of their descendants, but even so, the bloodline of spellcasters will not change much.

But on the other hand, the small number of innate spellcasters means that in the magic-side civilization, the proportion of acquired spellcasters is extremely large, and they even take the initiative, occupy the political stage, and gain the right to speak.

The best way to cultivate spellcasters is education, nothing else.

Intelligence is the stepping stone to the magic world. Leo's peers have been studying late into the night under the supervision of their parents since childhood. They are not necessarily the lucky ones who have the potential of being a spellcaster, but if they study hard and improve their intelligence level, they will definitely be able to understand those complex magic textbooks.

Descendants of laborers like them have provided a lot of conveniences to the faculty and student groups of Baizhu Star for many years, so the Crystal Civilization still gives a lot of preferential treatment. An adult villager can take the "Magic Qualification Examination" at least five times. Once passed, he will be out of the identity of a farmer and have more choices as a "magic apprentice".

Young people can go to school and study in the magic academy. Once graduated, they will be formal mages with high income and status.

Older people can also work in magic workshops. After ten years, they can also obtain the qualifications of formal mages, but they still need to take some continuing education exams to improve their academic level.

The content of the exam is actually not complicated. The books have been given long ago, but the most fundamental problem is that if the level of intelligence is not up to standard, you are not qualified to understand the content between the lines.

Being a magician is not a profession with a low threshold. If you can't even interpret the introductory textbooks, you can basically say goodbye to the path of being a spellcaster.

If you slowly spend time, you can memorize it in the future, but Leo's own economic level makes him doubt whether he has this future.

The boys and girls in the same hometown basically took the exam three times, and each time they took the exam, their scores would be higher. Some of those whose families urged them to get married, started a family, and continued to study and take exams. Even if they failed in the end, they would not be left without a place to go.

Leo was very jealous of them, but he knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

He was especially jealous of the black-haired Luther Kline. In Leo's opinion, that guy was basically a winner in life - his parents were still alive, good-looking, had a sister, a house, and a bride. His family was in poverty, but at least he was good every time. That kid also had a stinking look on his face. When others said he did well in the exam, he replied coldly, "He didn't perform well."

Damn, what are you pretending to be?

Leo rested his arms on his arms in depression. He couldn't see his future at all. Maybe the only thing he could do in this life was to live alone until death.

Just when Leo felt that his future was gloomy, suddenly there was a knocking sound outside the door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

"Who is it? Tell me!"

Leo replied angrily.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

However, the person outside the door didn't seem to hear him. He didn't answer anything and kept knocking on the door relentlessly.

"What the hell, who came to visit me when nothing happened?"

Leo muttered, walked forward, and pushed open the door, only to see the blue moonlight falling on the threshold of the stairs, glowing with faint fluorescence. Looking around, there was nothing in the air except for those dancing and playing in the middle of the night. The elemental butterfly was completely silent.

"Whatever you do, it really amuses me."

Leo was confused and turned around to go back to the house, but found that for some reason, his door had been locked and closed.

"Hey! What's going on? I didn't close the door just now."

He quickly dug into his pockets, and his expression changed - it was bad, he went out without the key.

It's over now, I can only break the window and get in.

With a dark face, Leo picked up a stone and was about to smash the window. Suddenly, he heard rustling sounds coming from the grass, mixed with some laughter.

His heart moved, and he immediately thought of something.

"It seems that someone is deliberately trying to mess with me - it must be that boy Luther. He just refused to obey me today and wanted to fight me. He must have done it when I knocked on the door and closed the door just now."

Leo thought to himself, and quickly stepped into the grass in the dark, pushed aside the grass, and looked through the moonlight, and sure enough he saw fresh footprints on the ground.

"really."

The footprints extended all the way, and Leo followed them all the way. He didn't want to smash the glass in vain, and when he caught the Luther kid, he would have to pay for the glass.

But after walking a few miles, Leo felt a little strange - could this kid Luther be so good at running?

Just when he was feeling suspicious, he suddenly heard a man whispering in front of him, followed by Lin Ye shaking rapidly.

"Oh! This kid probably has helpers. It seems they have discovered him!"

Leo had no doubt that he was there, and quickly rushed forward. Although he knew that he was getting further and further away from the countryside, Leo was not worried at all - this was White Candle Star, and there were no bandits or bandits, even some ferocious beasts. Even with his skill, he could easily escape.

He followed along and could see that Luther was already a little tired. From time to time, panting and whispering sounds would come from the forest. Leo couldn't hear it clearly, but the tone and the heavy breathing mixed with it couldn't be faked. of.

"Hahaha, that brat can't run anymore!"

Leo quickened his pace and got directly into the bushes as tall as a man. He quickly separated the grass blades in front of him with his hands, and then he saw a long black knife slashing towards his neck!

bass!

Leo reacted so quickly that he subconsciously stopped, raised his head and rolled on the ground, avoiding the slash. His heart went cold, and the blade brushed against his shoulder, tearing open the air easily, letting He recalled the law enforcer Curran in the village - he could create an air blade thinner than a hair with just a tap of his fingernails and could tear steel apart.

"O Father of Crystals!"

Leo prayed, quickly got up, grabbed a rock, and threw it towards the killer. His strength was not small. The killer turned his head slightly, and the stone suddenly hit the mountain behind like a cannonball, hard. Shengsheng opened a hole in the rock wall, embedded it deeply into the rock wall, and then opened countless small snake-like gaps.

"It's pretty good. His strength has reached the Gamma level, but his brain is not as good as Gamma level... Although he is smarter than me, he can trick him out with just a few tricks. He is probably not fully developed."

The killer glanced at the cracks on the rock wall and commented casually in an unfamiliar language.

"Who are you...?"

Leo had just recovered from the shock, but he still had his usual arrogance. Faced with the sudden appearance of the knife-wielding thug, he did not dare to run away. He held another big stone in his hand and looked at the opponent nervously.

That guy has run all the way to this point. His physical fitness and speed must be better than mine. He will definitely not be able to escape. It is better to buy some time, stabilize the other party's mood, and see if there is room for negotiation.

He calmed down, grinned, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying:

"Speak carefully if you have anything to say. You should be able to understand me, brother..."

The killer did not answer, but slowly walked out of the woods. The clear and beautiful moonlight fell on his face, leaving Leo stunned in place. At that moment, even the moon was dwarfed by the person in front of him.

"What a beautiful... man?"

Leo couldn't believe it. It was the first time he saw such a man who made people fall in love with him as soon as they met. He was extremely good from the inside out. His dark hair lay casually on his shoulders, and his gray eyes were as clear as crystal, full of dreams. The aura, every edge of the facial features and the smooth skin seemed to be the products carved by the Creator's own hands. Even a little change would not be able to achieve such an effect.

Perfect——this word popped up in Leo's mind immediately.

Using perfect to describe the beauty in front of him was not perfect enough. But with his meager knowledge, he could not think of a more appropriate description than perfect.

Leo was stunned for a moment, but the beauty in front of him suddenly launched a surprise attack and pierced his throat with a sword without mercy.

"Uh——"

Before Leo's consciousness was extinguished, he vaguely felt that the other party dragged his ankle and quickly moved to a place in the forest. Then, the killer beauty searched in the woods for a while and dug out a huge silver swimming pool from a pile of leaves and wood strips?

Snap!

Leo's body was immediately thrown into the pool, and his consciousness quickly became blurred and eventually disappeared. However, his body was maintained by various potions, repairing the wound and maintaining life.

"It's really hard to deal with. I didn't kill him with one knife. This guy's physical fitness is strong enough!"

Li Aoz breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the male body quietly settling at the bottom of the biochemical pool, and nodded with satisfaction.

Anyway, the body was finally in his hands. It took him a week in total. He had to move the biochemical pool back to the vicinity of the ruins. If he left it here, it would be too easy to be exposed.

"Next, it's the critical moment."

Li Aoz raised his hand, and a nerve tentacle popped out from his palm, immediately piercing into the neck of the blond bully. His cells quickly split and entered the body of the blond bully.

[A new unconscious body has been detected. You can choose to contaminate this body with your own cells and transform it into your own colony, or use it as your original body. ]

[Cell invasion completed]

[Contamination in progress...]

Split, devour, combine, integrate, and complete the replacement.

The whole process is already familiar to Li Aoz. After a while, red and black flashes appeared in Li Aoz's eyes.

[Chromosomes have been tampered with, genetic modification completed]

[This target has been contaminated by you - you can choose one of the following options as the final treatment]:

A-Possession body: retain the target's talents and exist only as your backup body, but when you switch to this body, it will not inherit any extraordinary specialties other than the main attributes of your original body. (The conditions for use have been met)

B-Transformation colonization suit: Transform the target as a biological weapon. You can wear this colonization suit to maximize its combat effectiveness, but the colonization suit needs regular maintenance and care. (The conditions for use have been met)

C——Incorporate as a follower: After the genes of this body are modified, implant some of your thinking cells and make it your follower group, but its offspring will have a chance to inherit one of your own arcane abilities and talents (the conditions for use have not been met: [Intelligence] is less than 80)

"Well, it's a pity. Option C is the most fun, but my intelligence is not enough to pass the threshold. This is a hard requirement, and the specialty can't save it."

Li Aoz remembered that the option of incorporating as a follower is very suitable for [Overlord] players who come from the Zerg. They can easily produce hundreds of descendants, and their production capacity is not much worse than that of [Biochemist] - it's just that these descendants are generally not smart and are easy to be exposed.

Li Aoz wanted to choose A from the beginning, and without much hesitation, he chose "Occupy the body".

The body trembled slightly, and the soul left the body in a familiar way. The consciousness body slowly ascended and separated from the colonized body of the main body. Li Aoz was slightly familiar with the actions of the thinking body, and then slowly flew towards the blond bully.

[Transferring...]

[Genetic differences are large, troubleshooting in progress]

[Neural link not responding]

[Relinking...]

[Transferring completed]
