Chapter 224

After David finished chatting, he ended the communication in a hurry, not even having time to say goodbye.

From the anxiety and urgency that he tried hard to hide but still revealed, Jie Ming estimated that this guy probably also carried a pile of debts that he couldn't pay off.

Jie Ming hung up the communication and couldn't help but laugh.

He finally discovered that in the wizard civilization, if you don't carry a debt of at least a hundred years, you are too embarrassed to tell others that you are a "genius."

In fact, this is also understandable.

After all, for a group like wizards who are extremely rational and believe in equivalent exchange, so-called "investment" has never been free.

Only after confirming that you have the potential to go further and can bring them enough returns will those high-tier wizards or huge organizations be willing to invest in you.

It can be said that in the wizard civilization, the amount of debt a wizard carries also represents the recognition of your potential by the outside world to some extent.

Those wizards with real potential often carry massive debts.

After saying goodbye to David, Jie Ming immersed himself again in the learning of those vast spatial knowledge.

He estimated that he wouldn't be able to chat with David for a short time.

Since the other party had decided to go into seclusion to be promoted to a Tier 2 Wizard, there would be no response for the next ten or even decades.

The reason why Jie Ming was able to successfully be promoted to a Tier 2 Wizard in just a few months was because he had already spent time in the long years of fifty years in the Flame-Frost Plane to complete the prerequisites needed for promotion in advance.

The most core and time-consuming step for a Tier 1 Wizard to be promoted to a Tier 2 Wizard is to perform a thorough, systematic "re-sorting" and integration of all the knowledge learned since the apprentice era.

This means that according to the different amount of knowledge reserves of each wizard, the time required for a Tier 1 to be promoted to a Tier 2 Wizard is also completely different.

Logistics wizards, because the knowledge they are involved in is mixed and massive, the amount of information that needs to be sorted and integrated during promotion is also an astronomical figure.

This leads to them generally being promoted very slowly, and the time spent is calculated in "years," and there is no way to be promoted on the ever-changing battlefield.

And combat wizards are just the opposite.

The knowledge they learn is mostly specialized in fighting and killing, and the system is relatively single and pure.

During promotion, they generally only need to sort for a few days, and they can quickly complete the promotion after re-optimizing their combat system.

Therefore, on the battlefield, the promotion speed of combat wizards is often surprisingly fast.

Basically, as long as there is enough luck to obtain enough resources, and then seize an opportunity of combat insight, they can be promoted on the spot.

But the promotion speed of logistics wizards is much slower.

Of course, a higher level does not mean that combat power is necessarily improved.

What truly affects a wizard's power is the amount of knowledge they master and the depth of their understanding of knowledge.

A wizard's level more increases the upper limit of power that a wizard can accommodate and release, and does not mean that you can really fully exert this upper limit.

Many top Tier 6 wizards have enough resources and wealth to pile up hundreds of "fast-track" wizards of the same Tier 6 in a short time with pure resources.

But such "fast-track" Tier 6 wizards have no actual combat power at all.

Let alone fighting with the elite alchemy units manufactured by normal Tier 6 wizards themselves, such "fast-track" wizards probably can't even beat native gods of the same level who rely on instinct to fight.

Just like Senior Sister Viola.

Relying on a tube of "Soul Sublimation Potion," she was promoted to a Tier 6 Wizard at once, looking powerful and majestic.

But in fact, except for the knowledge and application related to the "pain" law that she had already studied thoroughly, her combat power in other aspects is not to mention compared to real veteran Tier 5 wizards, I am afraid she can't even beat a Tier 4 logistics wizard with solid knowledge reserves.

The reason why Mentor Clark rushed to the Flame-Frost Plane and let Viola be his assistant.

Besides dragging her to pay off debts and to be able to contact top materials like "living plane" as soon as possible, it was also to let Viola accumulate enough knowledge and experience in the process of being an assistant.

Transform her power that only has a realm into real strength as early as possible.

In the following time, with the assistance of the body-tempering method, Jie Ming's speed of learning that spatial knowledge was much faster than he expected.

Finally, he only spent more than twenty years to completely learn the knowledge that was originally expected to take at least nearly a hundred years to barely learn, and achieved mastery.

After he finished learning, he also confirmed one thing—the spatial knowledge specified by Master Roland was indeed of little use to him at present.

Although he now knows the various manifestations and theoretical content of "Spatial Gaps," with his current spiritual power intensity and soul observation ability, he has no ability to directly observe this microscopic phenomenon that exists in the spatial interlayer.

If you can't observe, you can't manipulate.

Therefore, this high-end knowledge, at the current stage, besides letting him pay off part of the loan, is indeed of no practical use.

However, Jie Ming was not too disappointed.

For this kind of thing, he had long expected it.

Wizard knowledge is layer by layer, the spatial knowledge he learned, although of no use to him now, can save a lot of trouble when he involves spatial knowledge after being promoted to Tier 3.

Laying a good foundation in advance is never a bad thing.

After another period of time, Jie Ming confirmed that his "Universal Eye" spell model had evolved into a brand-new form with the integration of this new knowledge, and he soon contacted Master Roland of the Tower of Silence again.

"Oh? Wizard Jie Ming? You finished?"

When Master Roland saw the message Jie Ming sent on the other end of the communication, his tone was full of irrepressible surprise.

In his view, it was already a natural talent for Jie Ming to be able to complete this task within a hundred years.

He didn't expect that the other party only used more than twenty years.

And when he received the optimized and upgraded "Universal Eye" spell model transmitted by Jie Ming, and loaded it into his sea of spirit for a simple attempt, the surprise in his heart was even greater.

This observation effect was even better than he expected!

Jie Ming not only completed the task, but the quality of his completion was higher than imagined!

This level of observation ability, Roland originally expected to wait until Jie Ming reached Tier 3 Wizard to possibly possess.

The change of the spell itself is closely related to the wizard's ability to understand knowledge.

This shows that Jie Ming not only learned that knowledge, but his understanding of that spatial knowledge was even deeper than some Tier 3 wizards who specialized in this way!

"Incredible... too incredible!" Master Roland praised sincerely, "Wizard Jie Ming, you have unparalleled talent in spatial perception and model construction! If... you are willing, after you are promoted to Tier 3, you can completely join my research team! I guarantee that you will obtain the best resources and the most cutting-edge knowledge in the research of spatial gaps!"

"This... I still have to see my mentor's arrangements..."

Facing the solemn invitation of a Tier 5 Wizard, Jie Ming gave an awkward smile and politely declined his invitation.

Jie Ming also knew that what Wizard Roland said was the truth, but there was a lot of moisture in it.

After all, the so-called "spatial gap" is just a very inconspicuous small branch of spatial knowledge.

Wizard Roland said it was the most cutting-edge knowledge, Jie Ming believed it, after all, this thing is indeed of no use in spatial knowledge, and its effect is easily covered and replaced by other spatial knowledge.

Jie Ming estimated that "spatial gap" is a necessary prerequisite knowledge for some special spells of the Tower of Silence, so it would be studied by Wizard Roland.

No matter from which aspect, he didn't need to study the knowledge of "spatial gap" in depth.

After being politely declined by Jie Ming, Master Roland also appeared very regretful.

However, he didn't get angry because of this, but his attitude became a bit more enthusiastic.

He seemed to be determined to have a good relationship with Jie Ming, this "genius" with huge potential.

"Since that's the case, I won't force it." Master Roland's tone carried a hint of regret, and then the conversation turned, "By the way, Wizard Jie Ming, to thank you for your excellent work this time, I personally want to give you a small gift. Are you interested in a better spatial teleportation escape-type wizard tool?"

"I can help you build a bridge and let my Tier 7 mentor personally make one for you." He threw out a temptation that made Jie Ming's heart stop.

"With the great power of a Tier 7 wizard, the spatial wizard tool produced can ignore most spatial interference or spatial imprisonment effects! It is absolutely the best choice for saving your life!"

It seemed that he saw the concerns that Jie Ming might have, and Master Roland added: "Of course, you don't have to worry about the price. Even if you can't afford it now, it doesn't matter, you can completely... continue to take a loan from my mentor!"

Hearing the two words "loan," Jie Ming immediately understood what this guy wanted to do.

He could only give an awkward smile again and politely declined the "good intentions" of the other party.

Just kidding, he owed a Tier 5 wizard a debt, and he had to pay it off until Tier 3.

If he owed a Tier 7 great power a debt again, he probably wouldn't want to turn over for the rest of his life.

Master Roland saw this and was also somewhat regretful.

Before ending the communication, he still indicated that if Jie Ming's thoughts had any changes in the future, he could contact him at any time.
