Chapter 312 Seeing the world with the eyes of the heart
Seven in the morning the next day.
Both Xiaoya and Lin Xue came to the shop early, but the shop is closed today, because they brought too many things back from the door yesterday, and Mu You had already announced on the pet shop app that they would be closed for a day today.
At this time, the three of them were gathering in the lock cylinder space, looking at a big golden-red tree in front of them.
The top of the fifteen-meter-high tree trunk is covered with leaves similar to maple leaves. On the two branches spreading out on both sides, there is a blue light hanging on each side. Unlike the previous state of extinguishing, the two lights have been turned on again. Since then, it still emits a faint light during the day, which means that this ancient tree has regained its life.
"Xiaoya, try it first."
Mu You looked at Xiaoya and said.
This ancient tree of knowledge had been fused with the elf he brought back last night. After the fusion, the dead tree was rejuvenated. The tree face on the trunk opened its eyes and mouth. In addition, at the bottom of the trunk, there was A small door opened automatically, and inside was a small space about two meters long, wide and high.
This is where the ancient tree trains intelligence. As long as a person enters a state of meditation in it, his intelligence will slowly increase.
"okay…"
Xiaoya curiously walked to the front of the tree, looked around the tree house, and then stepped into it.
Sit down in the tree house, Xiaoya closed her eyes, and began to try to enter the state of meditation.
At this time, the ancient tree of knowledge from the outside world also began to shake its arms, and the mouth on the tree's face opened and closed, making mixed and hoarse sounds.
Mu You used the Omniscient Crystal to observe Xiaoya's attribute changes, but it turned out that the time for his intelligence to grow was much longer than he expected.
It took an hour and a half before Xiaoya's intelligence finally changed for the first time, jumping from 37 to 38.
An hour and a half to grow a little?
The upper limit of training for tree people is ten times a day. According to this efficiency, it takes 15 hours a day to complete all the training, so the big tree basically has no rest time...
"Xiaoxue, try it too." Mu You looked at Lin Xue again.
As for himself, he is not in a hurry. His attributes need to be maintained in proportion to activate the Fool's Barrier. This intelligence training will wait until he is ready to wash some potions.
"good."
Lin Xue nodded, walked to the big tree, replaced Xiaoya, and also entered meditation.
It turned out that it was much faster this time. In just ten minutes, Lin Xue completed the first training, and her intelligence increased a little.
"It turns out that..."
Mu You immediately understood that it seems that the training time is directly related to the intelligence value, and the higher the intelligence, the longer it takes to improve each time.
As a summoner, Xiaoya's points are similar to Mu You's, and intelligence is the priority attribute; on the contrary, Lin Xue, because the focus is on agility, keeps her intelligence at the bottom line level for a long time, and her intelligence improves rapidly during this kind of training.
"What will we do with this tree in the future?" Lin Xue asked as they approached Muyou after experiencing it for themselves.
The intelligence provided by the ancient tree of knowledge is limited to ten points per person. After all of them have trained, the tree will lose its value. Unless they announce the existence of the tree and invite outsiders to train it, it will continue to generate value. .
However, this announcement cannot be made casually. If you really want to tell outsiders that there is an ancient tree of knowledge in their store, what you get in return will definitely not be wealth, but infinite coveting and disputes.
"How about sending it to Liming City and opening it to the residents for a fee?" Xiaoya suggested.
Sky City is a very good place for this kind of public building. There are enough users and the identity of the city lord to suppress it, and no one dares to make random decisions.
"no."
Mu You shook his head: "This thing cannot be exposed, at least not in the Astral World..."
The ancient tree of knowledge is a treasure of the forest elves. If the forest elves know that there are ancient tree people living outside, they will definitely send someone to come back.
And if they rely on Sky City and refuse to return it, even if they don't trigger a war, they will easily turn against the forest elves.
Of course, it’s not okay to just keep it on hand and wait for it to get moldy.
After much deliberation, it seems that the best way is to cooperate with the country or big forces, and lease the ancient tree of knowledge to them to collect regular rent.
"Let's talk later, it's still early."
Mu You shook his head, let them and Xiao Hai and other acquaintances finish their promotion before thinking about it.
Then the two continued to train their intelligence, while Mu You returned to the game.
After the matter in Liming City was dealt with last night, Mu You pulled the game characters back to Red Rose Academy.
He has six spells to learn this week. He was busy preparing to compete for Dawn City before, so he didn't have time to attend class. He will be busy in the next few days.
【You entered classroom 306 of the teaching building, and after paying for 20 years of life, you were allowed to enter. 】
【The lesson learned in this lesson is the curse-type low-level magic 'Forgetting Curse'. 】
【You enter the classroom and come to the last row of the lecture hall. You suddenly heard whispering voices from around you. Many boys and girls in front of you looked back at you, discussing in low voices such words as "Mountain Ghost", "Mountain Ghost is back" and "Anti-Mountain Ghost Alliance" , and when you looked at them, everyone hurriedly turned their heads, pretending to listen carefully...]
"Um?"
Mu You was taken aback.
Mountain ghost? WTF?
He has seen the name 'Mountain Ghost' before. In Vivienne's potion book, it is mentioned in the volume that records creatures. Mountain Ghost is an ugly-looking wild monkey that lives in the mountains and forests of the Astral World. , has a cruel and cunning personality, and especially likes to do things that bully the small and the strong. It is an extremely annoying animal.
But what is this doing now? A group of kids secretly called him 'Mountain Ghost', is that a nickname?
After thinking about it for a while, Mu You understood that he probably won too much in the first-year duel arena, and he never showed mercy. No matter how strong or weak he met, he would go all out to kill in seconds. Well, his notoriety has already spread throughout the first grade, so it's not surprising that he was nicknamed.
"Speaking of mountain ghosts is too ugly. These little kids really have no taste. It would be nice to call them 'big devils' or something...I will go to the duel field to educate them at night."
Mu You made a decision silently in his heart, ignored the others, and went to class seriously.
After learning six magics this week, the number of magics he learned in the academy just reached ten.
And ten spells are the basic requirements for advancing grades!
Mu You intends to take the promotion exam as soon as possible to advance to a higher grade.
The main reason is that the magic learned in the first grade is all low-level, and the power of the low-level magic is too weak. high-level magic.
If possible, Mu You even wants to skip directly to the seventh grade.
At twelve o'clock in the noon, when the magic class came to an end, Mu You hurriedly manipulated the characters to the library, and checked the conditions for upgrading the grade.
The result left him speechless.
He thought that as long as he learned enough magic, he could easily upgrade. However, it seems that only two final exams are held in June and December every year, and he can only upgrade after passing the exam.
If you want to improve your grade at other times, it is not impossible, but the requirements are extremely demanding.
First of all, you have to take a special written test and a practical test.
This kind of test, which is equivalent to a recommendation, is obviously much more difficult than the normal final exam.
Secondly, you need to join at least three 'societies' and obtain a letter of recommendation from the head of the club.
The clubs here are equivalent to hobby classes, such as potion clubs, alchemy clubs, art clubs, etc.
That is to say, students who want to be recommended must not only pass the exam, but also have a wide range of interests and comprehensive development in all aspects.
The last and most difficult item: To obtain a recommendation letter from a powerful family with a high prestige in the imperial capital, the school will hold a temporary upgrade exam for you...
There is no problem with taking exams or anything.
As for the association, it’s okay, at least in terms of potions, he killed people indiscriminately in the academy, and just find two other associations.
The most troublesome thing is the recommendation letter from the big family. He is a fool, how could he have such a relationship?
This thing, it seems that I can only trouble the owner of Coke again... I happened to stop by to see Coke.
It has been more than half a month since Coke left, I don’t know how it is living with its owner...
【You came to the luxury dormitory area, stopped in front of one of the suites...】
【This is the place you visited last time—the residence of Chris Fuya. 】
【You stepped forward and rang the doorbell, but there was no response from the door...】
【You stepped forward and rang the doorbell, but there was no response from the door...】
Arriving at the door of the owner of Coke, Mu You knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered, wondering if Fuya had gone to class.
But even if she goes to class, Coke should be at home, right?
Mu You was considering whether to make a cat can or something, and use the smell to attract the Coke, when a prompt popped up in the game.
【"What's the matter with you?" A human face appeared in front of the door. This is a magic door lock named 'Abu', because I saw you once last time and knew that you knew the owner of the room. Instead of driving you away, I politely ask you why you came. 】
【You tell the door lock that you need to discuss things with the owner of the room and visit her cat by the way. 】
【The door lock replied to you: "Master Fuya asked the academy for a one-month vacation two weeks ago, went back to her hometown to visit relatives, and took that stupid cat away..."]
"I actually went back to my hometown..."
Mu You is desperate, no wonder Coke doesn't come out, probably brought back by its owner to do the so-called 'conversion ceremony', before Coke returned to the Astral World through the gate, and needs to reset the plane it belongs to to the Astral World , otherwise the lifespan will be continuously deducted.
No way, it seems that Fuya won't be able to see her in a short time, so she can only think of other ways.
Before the lunch break was over, Mu You went to the club building again.
【You have come to the club activity room. 】
[This is the place where the college uses to cultivate students' interests and hobbies. There are currently 141 official clubs and 266 clubs. Join the clubs to learn a lot of practical knowledge that you can't learn in class. You can also get extra credits after completing the club assessment... 】
This is the first time for him to come to the club activity room. From the description, it is similar to the clubs in universities on this side of the earth, but more hard-core. Here, you can learn various life skills, such as potions, alchemy, As long as one or two years of popular life occupations such as chefs join them, it is enough to ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the star spirit world for the rest of their lives.
Mu You first read the names of all the clubs, and selected the clubs he might join. If he wanted to get the letter of recommendation from the head of the club as soon as possible, he had to have enough attainments in this area from the very beginning.
First of all, the Potions Club is needless to say, this is his field of expertise, and it is also the most popular club in the whole school, so he must join it.
Secondly... Mu You looked around and found a "flying club". The flying here refers to the magic broom, but it is not enough to ride a broom to drive. The training here is professional "competitive flying", that is, The kind of professional competition that rides a broomstick.
He knows the flying spell, and he just got a competitive magic broom, so he is barely qualified.
Two associations are determined, but the last one is more difficult.
Apart from potions, Mu You found that he really didn't have any other special abilities.
Looking around, it seems that there is only one 'Divination Club', and he has some possibilities to join.
He doesn’t know how to divination now, but there is Vivienne, besides, he got a fortune teller skin before, so he can ask Vivienne to do a quick divination before joining the club.
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately went to find Vivian.
"Want to learn divination?"
Vivienne was combing feathers by the stream. Hearing this, she looked up at him, and said in a deep thought, "I planned to teach you divination after you reached the third-level potion master...but since you have the intention to learn it, teach it in advance." you can also…"
Perhaps it was because Mu You had shown perseverance in Potions, and now Vivian was obviously not as resistant to teaching him divination as before.
"Okay, let's learn now!" Mu You hurriedly said.
He didn't dare to tell Vivienne that he learned divination just to make a quick pass for the exam, otherwise with Vivian's character, he would definitely be scolded.
"Well... let's start with the basics first."
Vivian nodded, stretched out her wings and swiped in the air, opened her small storage room, summoned a book from it, and automatically flew in front of Mu You.
Mu You took it and read it. The title of the book is "Introduction to Fortune Tellers and How to Open Mind Eyes", the number of pages... 396 pages?
"Is this... the end?"
Mu You looked at the not-so-thick book in his hand, and was a little dazed.
He thought that to learn the basics, he would have to study all year round like he did before learning potions.
As a result, Vivienne threw him a book, and it was an ordinary book that had not been enhanced with space magic.
Divination, which is as famous as Potions, has so little book content, which makes Mu You feel quite uncomfortable.
"Of course. The reserve knowledge required for divination is not that complicated. Unlike potions, this thing mainly depends on talent. After I guide you into the door, the rest is up to you." Vivienne said.
"It turns out that..."
Mu You breathed out, didn't ask any more questions, and handed the pocket watch to Vivienne as usual, then opened the Fool's Space and started to study.
Have had the experience of endorsement in the past few decades, but now this mere book is really not worth paying attention to.
Backtracking more than 700 times, the total time is only about half a month, and Mu You finished the book smoothly.
"what's next?"
Mu You looked at Vivian. Now he has mastered the basic ideas of divination. To put it bluntly, he is actually looking at the world with the usual naked eyes, and transforming into seeing the world with the "eyes of the heart", so that he can see many things that he can't normally see.
"You can start trying divination... But before that, you need to prove that you have the talent to learn divination, otherwise, everything is empty talk. You can't take shortcuts with your pocket watch." Vivienne said .
Mu You was a little apprehensive. He did not forget that his potion talent was rated as 'very bad' by Vivienne. It can be said that if he hadn't had a pocket watch that changed his life against the sky, it would have been impossible for him to become a potion master with this talent, even potion Apprentices are delusional.
So what about the Fortune Teller talent now?
"How to test divination talent?" Mu You asked.
"It's very simple, first find any kind of divination medium, crystal ball, tarot card, pendulum, astrolabe, or even an ordinary mirror, etc., all are fine." Vivian said.
"Then let's play the Tarot cards." Mu You said.
Having read the introductory book, he knows very well that the divination medium does not require magical power, ordinary items are enough, because it is the fortune teller's mind that is actually responsible for the divination, and the so-called medium is just an auxiliary tool.
Mu You went to the storage room and found a pair of tarot cards that she bought when she was a child. After cleaning the dust on the surface, she opened it and found a brand new batch inside. Obviously, she had never opened it when she bought it.
"And then?" Mu You took back the tarot cards and sat down in front of Vivian.
"Shuffle and flip all the cards."
"Then close your eyes and use your mind to find out the twenty-two main cards in order." Vivienne said.
Mu You did the same.
The cards were turned back up, and after some shuffling, the order of the cards was completely messed up, and all the cards were laid out in front of him.
Then he closed his eyes, and opened the 'mind eye' according to the method in the book.
"Hmm... Can't see the cards clearly?" Mu You frowned.
From the perspective of his mind's eye, the surrounding vision has become gray, and he can vaguely feel the outlines of the dozens of cards on the ground, but each card seems to be shrouded in a hazy mist, layer upon layer. The layers are constantly changing shapes, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Nonsense, if you can see the cards clearly, then you are not a human, but a god..."
Vivian's voice came: "Carefully feel the breath of each card, and pick out the main card that you think is most like your mind. Finally, according to the correct rate of your card selection, you can calculate your Divination talent."
"I see…"
Mu You immediately calmed down when he heard the words, and began to feel each card carefully according to Vivian's instructions.
After a while, he reached out to touch one of them, took it back to him, and opened his eyes to have a look.
"Fool! You guessed right!"
The first main card of the Tarot is the 'Fool'.
"Yes." Vivienne was noncommittal, motioning for him to continue.
Mu You breathed out, closed his eyes again to feel it, and took another card after a while.
"Magician! Right again!"
"Continue." Vivian's expression remained unchanged.
Mu You had no choice but to continue silently.
Then.
The third picture, the priestess, is right again.
The fourth one, Queen, yes...
…
"The seventh... lover, hey, it's still right!"
Until Mu You took out the seventh one, Vivian's expression finally changed.
