Chapter 6

Bidding farewell to several wizards, Jie Ming turned and looked at the empty Logistics Department area in front of him, feeling a bit dazed.

He could clearly feel that after he turned around, the mentors of the Logistics Department who seemed indifferent just now cast their attention one after another.

It was very clear that the illusion barrier could only block ordinary apprentices, and it was like a decoration in front of these mentors whose strength even Jie Ming couldn't perceive at all.

Although very reluctant, since he was already on the pirate ship, he could only continue to choose now.

Although that was the case, Jie Ming took a look. The numerous familiar or unfamiliar names in the unclear area made his scalp tingle.

"It has a bit of the aesthetic of letting a high school graduate just out of school choose a university major."

Silently complaining, Jie Ming walked casually in the Logistics Department area while thinking calmly in his heart:

"Although I don't want to, since I have already joined the academy, I am afraid it is impossible to leave in the short term, so I can only strengthen myself under the premise of hiding myself as much as possible to deal with the future battlefield."

If possible, Jie Ming really wanted to just abolish his cultivation and switch to the wizarding world's supernatural system, hiding the biggest problem on his body.

Unfortunately, it couldn't be done.

Although the cultivation method of refining essence into Qi was an almost obsolete technique, it was not without its own advantages.

The most important one was that using this method for cultivation, the connection between the practitioner's three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit would become increasingly close.

Simply put, as long as one of the essence, Qi, and spirit is enhanced, it can implicate and drive the other two to improve synchronously.

Similarly, if one of them suffers major damage, it can also accelerate healing by consuming the other two.

This was indeed an advantage, but if it was placed on the option of "abolishing cultivation," that was a flaw that could not be ignored.

The overly closely combined essence, Qi, and spirit would cause Jie Ming to suffer almost irreparable damage to his body and soul while abolishing his cultivation.

At that time, let alone becoming a wizard, whether he could survive was a question.

"Since it cannot be abolished, then I can only disguise it as the power of the local area, and maybe there will be other ways after becoming an official wizard in the future... plus this option, besides that, I also have to consider my future development..."

Jie Ming began to examine himself: What more obvious characteristics did he have compared to other wizards?

The experience of living a second life?

The supernatural system of another world?

Or...

Jie Ming subconsciously shifted his attention to the white jade palace deep in his consciousness.

The biggest difference between him and others was, of course, this supernatural knowledge from another world!

"It's too wasteful not to use such a big advantage here, but it can't be used directly, it needs to be added with a layer of disguise, and the wizarding world has no spiritual power, those knowledge must be adjusted for this world..."

After an examination, Jie Ming's needs became clear.

Comprehensively, there was no need to worry about improving combat effectiveness in the short term, and the subject he chose was best to reveal the essence of this world, at least it should allow him to understand the uniqueness of various substances, energy, and rules of this world and use them.

"Then the result is very clear."

Making up his mind, Jie Ming turned decisively and walked toward a certain area.

As soon as he approached, he could smell a strange smell, which was a mixture of metal smelting, plant burning, and various unknown reagents.

"Alchemy, fools regard it as the art of metal mutation, but it is actually a mirror image of cosmic truth. This ancient wisdom is not only the technique of material transformation, but also the path of soul sublimation..."

Jie Ming muttered the introduction on the light screen in front of him, confirming his thoughts.

This was his choice: Alchemy.

A technique to explore the changes of matter and soul, and then study the truth of the world.

If he could master it proficiently, it would not only help Jie Ming "localize" the techniques in the Great Dao Library, but also assist him in disguising his own power.

He walked straight to an information desk at the very inside, where a wizard who looked very much like an "alchemist" sat—he was thin, his hair was so sparse that his scalp could be clearly seen, and he wore a monocle that was peculiar in the mortal world, with sharp and tired eyes behind the lenses.

His finger joints were thick, but his fingers appeared quite flexible, obviously dealing with various materials all year round.

"Hello... Mentor Clark." Jie Ming glanced at the nameplate on the other party's chest and paused slightly, "I want to join Alchemy."

Clark raised his head calmly and looked at Jie Ming who was walking over with eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate the appearance.

"Talent... level six?" Mentor Clark pushed his monocle, his tone without surprise, just a simple confirmation.

Obviously, this Mentor Clark had already learned Jie Ming's assessment results through some method.

"Yes, mentor." Jie Ming answered respectfully.

"A wise choice." Mentor Clark nodded slightly, his tone still flat, but with a hint of imperceptible appreciation, "A dead genius is nothing. Those who survive, even if their qualifications are mediocre, can see the scenery belonging to themselves one day."

"Yes, I will follow your teachings."

Clark seemed very satisfied with Jie Ming, this apprentice; he didn't say much more and pulled out a scroll from under the table.

The surface of this scroll flowed with a faint glow, emitting a not-weak energy fluctuation.

"Apprentice contract of Nuolun Workshop." Mentor Clark spread the scroll and showed it to Jie Ming, "Read it carefully, and you can sign it if you have no questions. Remember, after the contract takes effect, any behavior that violates the terms will pay a heavy price."

Jie Ming took a deep breath and took the heavy scroll.

The size of the scroll was not large, and the content that could be displayed on it was quite limited.

The text on it was also composed of light screens, but it seemed to be broken off halfway, without subsequent content.

Jie Ming raised his head and glanced at Mentor Clark; the other party didn't seem to have any intention of explaining.

Looking at the small scroll in his hand, Jie Ming's heart moved; he first reached out and pretended to check the left and right sides of the scroll, and then "tried" to stretch out his finger and swipe upward on the light screen!

Just as he imagined, the text on the scroll also slid with the movement of his finger—this was clearly a scroll-like display.

Seeing that Jie Ming actually "found" the correct usage of the scroll in such a short time, Mentor Clark couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his originally serious face.

Because of the deserted Logistics Department and Jie Ming's previous performance, other Logistics Department mentors were also secretly paying attention here.

Seeing the ability Jie Ming showed and the smug smile of that old thing Clark, the gazes of other mentors became "resentful."

Especially when Clark deliberately raised his head and smiled at them as if showing off, this resentful gaze became envious, jealous, and hateful.
