Chapter 229 - 44: Get Backfired! - 1
Double entendre.
Jasmine, on one hand, is subtly showing off her relationship with Link while also demonstrating that her actions are unconstrained.
She sarcastically implies that Lanny Taylor, after the cross-district match, is completely bound by Wizard Palo’s betting games.
Such deliberate actions are excessive and counterproductive.
Lanny, feeling attacked, has bloodshot eyes.
She takes a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil within her, and says the real reason she’s been waiting here tonight: “Witch Ayla asked me to tell you that she won’t be handling the ‘New Blood Mutual Aid Association’. So, don’t worry about her. Do whatever you want.”
Her tone shifts expressing somberly: “Why does everyone cater to your wishes, why does everyone considerate towards you?”
With the last word, Lanny heads upstairs.
It’s as if her last words were merely a sigh of something.
She doesn’t expect an answer from Jasmine.
Jasmine waits silently for a moment until she no longer hears the footstep of Lanny and then heads upstairs.
She could care less about Lanny’s last word.
It’s as if she just heard a fart.
How could everyone accommodate her wishes and be considerate towards her?
There are plenty of things that don’t go accordingly.
She won’t leverage her minimal ‘good luck’ to act out of line in the future.
It is always best to speak and act cautiously.
Want to mess with my mind? No way!
Jasmine, slightly aggrieved, returns to her dorm and immediately sends a message to Link about the incident.
Not necessarily to fully tarnish that unworthy person, just add a degree of wariness.
After Link received Jasmine’s message and read its content, he understands that Lanny may have experienced some setback or blow at Wizard Palo’s, hence her irrational acts.
Even, she might have some ill intentions, trying to instigate Jasmine, hoping to make her more bold in her actions and words.
Boldness, can be equated to recklessness, which can easily incur dislike.
“Nonsense.”
Link scoffs, looking down on Lanny’s tactics.
It is a world where strength is within oneself.
Working hard to improve one’s strength is the royal road.
He briefly replies to Jasmine, advising her to be more cautious, then turns his attention away from this matter.
First, he goes into deep meditation, completing his daily duties.
Then, he fully activates the “Mind Closure Technique” to adjust his state.
With all preparations done, Link activates the “Multi-Threading Thinking” status card.
Transforming into a humanoid supercomputer equipped with top-tier AL
Maximum 20 seconds!
Link focuses his will on allocating his sudden “computing power” increase towards the study and modification of his First Ring destiny witchcraft “Armor Orchid Battle Armor”.
It’s as if he can see data streams flowing before his eyes.
One by one, knowledge points are being summoned, ideas are being stirred, and propositions are being verified.
Link feels an inexplicable sense of grandeur rising up within him.
It’s as if he really knows and can do everything.
20 seconds passed quickly.
In the first moment Link deactivated the status card, he didn’t check his gains, but immediately went on to assess his psychological state.
That inexplicable sense of grandeur had startled him somewhat.
Based on his character, there’s no way he could have thought of such grandiosity at this stage.
There must be something wrong somewhere.
A moment later, Link heaved a sigh of relief.
False alarm.
It’s still due to the “Multi-Threading Thinking” status card.
As it strives to maximize the limit of the brain’s computing power, it inadvertently magnifies Link’s desires.
For now, it’s just a side effect and not yet at the level of a toxic side effect.
Following an increase in the quantity and quality of mental energy, with stronger will power and not activating the status card for too long, such problems will not occur.
At the stage of a wizard apprentice, the “Multi-Threading Thinking” status card is a bit overpowered for Link..
Hard to fully control.
Although, each usage brings some gains.
This time was no exception.
Link understood where Franda’s idea came from.
The First Ring destiny witchcraft “Armor Orchid Battle Armor” is a Water and Wood dual-system witchcraft, which naturally pairs with the “Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method”.
Or rather, the First Ring witchcraft “Armor Orchid Battle Armor” is the supporting witchcraft to the “Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method”. Everything is already arranged by the academy.
However, not every apprentice wizard who practices the “Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method” and is attuned to the Water and Wood elements can get the “Armor Orchid Battle Armor” magic blueprint scroll and the precious Armor orchid seeds.
Since it’s a Water and Wood dual-system witchcraft, the “Armor Orchid Battle Armor” possesses the characteristics of both systems.
The “Armor Orchid Battle Armor”, being defensive in nature, mainly focuses on endurance, recovery, and inherent healing capacities.
In terms of defensive strength, Armor Orchids are as robust as metal. Despite some deficiencies, they do not lack much compared to the battle armor witchcraft of the Gold and Earth Systems.
Moreover, it wards off fire and water, demonstrating great endurance, and enables mobility in various special terrains such as deserts, around volcanoes, swamps, and in the sea.
Perhaps it’s a coincidence, or perhaps it’s “Heaven’s will”.
The seed of origin which smelted everything from the broken world has an overall attribute leaning towards Water, Wood, Earth, Light, and Dark Systems.
It can not only accommodate the Armor Orchid Seed, but has surplus.
If Link wants to modify the “Armor Orchid Battle Armor” witchcraft based on the “Seed” engulfing, absorbing, and digesting the Armor Orchid seed, and changes the basis of the witchcraft deployment from the Armor Orchid Seed to the Seed of Origin, which possesses all characteristics of the Armor Orchid seed and more. There’s a lot he needs to do.
First, Link needs to fully digest the First Ring Witchcraft “Armor Orchid Battle Armor”.
Don’t even mention reaching the breakthrough level, it must at least be proficient.
