Chapter 202 Upgrade! Upgrade! Not Getting Promoted?

Chapter 202 Upgrade! upgrade! ...No more promotion?

first day.

"Has Gretel started meditating?"

"No, I'm still writing and doing calculations..."

the next day.

"Have you started meditating?"

"No, he is still writing..."

The third day.

"Did you meditate?"

"No, he asked for another knife of paper..."

Archmage Carlisle asked no more questions.

Changing the meditation method is a very serious and important matter. Many magicians will try their best to adjust their mood and prepare themselves before taking this step.

There are those who bathe and change clothes and sleep for three days and three nights, there are those who relax while fishing in the sea breeze, there are those who go to indescribable places that are indescribable...

Archmage Carlisle asked his mentor for a piece of magic equipment and traveled hundreds of miles to kill the enemy who bullied his sister. Revenge when there is a grudge, and revenge when there is a grudge.

In comparison, locking yourself in a room to write and do calculations, using up two dollars of paper in three days, is nothing more than normal.

Archmage Carlisle is not worried about Gretel being too distracted from his duties. He is only worried that Gretel is too tight and unable to find his condition... Gretel didn't even tear up the paper! He laid out every piece of paper neatly and made a pile!

Gretel didn't feel too nervous. He sat upright at the table, writing and dictating - or rather copying the contents of "Advanced Medical Mathematics". Discussions, formulas, diagrams, exercises...

Copying and copying, I absorbed the lectures I listened to in college, the questions I answered, and my insights while studying, bit by bit. Unknowingly, Grete had returned to the state he was in when he had just finished the course in the first semester of his freshman year.

It was also the pinnacle of his mathematics level in his previous life.

With this peak state, Gretel worked non-stop towards the newly acquired meditation method. It only took him one day to calculate the curve of the meditation shell, and another day to calculate the positions of the filter and the nozzle hole. Then, finally having enough to eat and drink, he applied for retreat.

"Meditation room?

The Mage Tower has a dedicated meditation room, which provides magicians with a safe, non-disturbing meditation environment with selectable energy types and high energy concentration, which is more suitable for magicians to upgrade.

The junior meditation room is on the third floor, with 100 contribution points per day, and is suitable for level 1-4 magicians; the intermediate meditation room is on the 7th floor, with 1,000 contribution points per day, and is suitable for level 5-9 magicians..."

The low-level mage who was responsible for doing odd jobs in the mage tower and handling chores for the bosses paused and looked at Gretel meaningfully. The implication is that you shouldn't need to use the advanced meditation room, right?

Gretel really doesn't need it. In fact, he was counting his fingers in his mind, trying to calculate how many contribution points he had:

The X-ray article, three contribution points; the bat pathogenicity article, 30; the B-ultrasound article, three;

The recently published papers, the one on the principle of sterility and the two on microscopy, are all one contribution point; the one on dysentery is 50 points; plus the subsidy from the Magic Council after registration, one per month for a first-level magician Contribution points, 5 points per month for a first-level arcanist...

No matter how you calculate it, it’s not even close to 100 points.

sad.

“Hey, can the meditation room be rented by the hour?”

"..."

The low-level magician who led the way looked at him dumbfounded. By the hour? Rent a meditation room by the hour? Except for the real rich, who rent a meditation room just to break through barriers, who wants to be interrupted in the middle of meditation? Brother, are you really sure you want to rent by the hour? !

Gretel knew from the look on his face that it would definitely not work. He hesitated for a moment, and between "just retreat in the guest room" and "swipe his face and let Archmage Carlisle make the decision and waive the bill", he decidedly chose the latter.

Anyway, now he is under the control of Thunder Horn!

He is willing to pay for all the meditation methods, but he will not even be willing to pay for the meditation room!

Well, if you really don't want to, the worst possible thing is to ask him to borrow money first! The phlogiston paper was approved, and 100 contribution points were not enough!

If it still doesn't work, write a few more papers, apply for research project approval, and then advance the project funds to upgrade...

Grete made a list of one, two or three options in his mind and ran away. Archmage Carlisle patiently listened to his appeal. He didn't say he was willing to pay the bill or borrow money. Instead, he proposed a new plan:

"Actually, I think you can see how much contribution you have made..."

Do you still need to watch it? However, Archmage Carlisle waved his hand, and the disciple next to him—also a fifth-level magician—had already brought a magic circle. Gretel quickly nodded to him to thank him, took off his badge, and placed it on the magic circle with doubts:

"Ehhhhhhhhhh?"

In the center of the badge, on the dark background, there are still two bronze stars unchanged. However, at the edge of the badge, one white ring, two white rings, three white rings slowly appeared...

Four rings?

Ah~~~The fourth ring, you are one less than the fifth ring...

But the fourth ring is also very high! The Magic Council's assessment of arcane level is basically related to the magician's research ability and ability to master arcane knowledge. Generally speaking, being a fourth-level arcanist means being able to master fourth-level magic without any hindrance.

In other words, he will not encounter obstacles until he reaches level 7 or even level 8 magician.

Why did you rush to the Fourth Ring Road all of a sudden? How many rewards did you calculate for me for all the stuff I submitted before? Gretel was stunned. In his shocked eyes, a second row of numbers lit up on the magic circle:

1592.

1592 contribution points...

Use it to rent a junior meditation room for half a month at a time, without any pressure...

Seeing the surprised look on Gretel's face, Carlisle leaned back, crossed his fingers, and silently admired his expression. It’s been half a month, it’s been half a month! Did you just find out? !

After other magicians submitted their papers, they wished they could live in the Magic Review Department and swipe their magic badges every hour or even every minute. Gretel was lucky, she stayed in his guest room for half a month!

Meals are brought to you, dirty clothes are taken away, showers are provided, and the guest room has its own bathroom. He could really stay at home. If the preparations hadn't been completed, he probably wouldn't have even poked his nose out of the door.

Archmage Carlisle has gone all the way to this day. Every archmage above level 10 that he has met has the perseverance to forget about food and sleep when necessary. But Gretel is only at level 2, so he can have such concentration - especially since Gretel has not been practicing magic or doing magic experiments from the beginning to the end, he is just burying his head at the table, writing and doing calculations...

Now that he had money, Gretel gave up his thoughts and left. He swiped his magic badge and entered the meditation room. As soon as he sat down, the crystal pillars on the wall lit up:

"Dear Master, hello. Welcome to the meditation room. It is recommended to measure your mental strength first so that you can track the progress of your meditation and understand your progress~~~"

Huh?

Have you measured your mental strength?

"Is it free?"

"Dear Master, the rental of the meditation room includes the cost of the mental power test, please feel free to use it."

...The 100 contribution points spent on this day are quite worthwhile. At the very least, Grete had never seen this kind of measurement function anywhere else. However, Gretel did not immediately activate this function, but asked cautiously:

"Can others see the strength of my mental power?"

"The meditation room is managed by the tower spirit. Except for the legendary mage of Thunder Horn, no one else has the authority to access it."

The legendary mage... The legendary mage wants to kill him with just one finger, without leaking his data...

Gretel was relieved. He followed the voice in the crystal pillar, concentrated his energy, and fought hard to attack it. The surface of the crystal fluctuated, changing from colorless and transparent to light red, from light crimson to pink, then to fiery red, and after a moment's pause, it turned to cinnabar again. Finally, a number was fixed in the center of the crystal:

65.

No explanation, no explanation, no comparison. Grete shrugged, wrote down the number, and meditated. He had been fully prepared before. At this time, he was just following the calculated function, focusing on concentrating his mental power to build a protective shell on the outer edge of the meditation environment.

The origin of the coordinates, the X-axis, the Y-axis, the Z-axis... the lines circle and stretch to build the pipeline, the bulges on the outer edge of the pipeline, the filters inside the pipeline, the holes that spew out impurities...

The environment in the meditation room is rich and peaceful. I didn’t feel it when I came in. After starting to meditate, Grete sighed: These 100 contribution points are really not in vain!

To be rich, it means that the concentration of elements in the room is indeed higher than the outside environment. When the mental energy is lacking, it can be supplemented from the outside world at any time; to be quiet, it means that the elements in the room are not restless, not even lively, and will not Causes interference and damage to mental strength. It's like sitting in an autumn orchard. When you are thirsty or hungry, you can always have replenishment, but you are not afraid of the fruit falling and hitting you on the head.

Grete meditated selflessly. The protective layer outside the meditation environment continues to extend, 1/4 circle, half circle, 3/4 circle, one circle...one and a half circles, two circles...the lines are smooth, the curvature is uniform, and the inner wall is a smooth spiral, surrounding his meditation The environment builds a protective layer, like a perfect conch, nurturing the smooth and flawless pearls within.

Until Gretel's mental power reached its limit and when he opened his eyes, the protective layer constructed by his mental power had already rotated around the core three times.

When tested again, the surface of the crystal was red to black, and the numbers that popped up on the crystal column were twice as much as before the meditation method was changed:

138.

"138?"

On the top floor of the mage tower, Master Dikal looked at the numbers displayed by the tower spirit and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"He's so far beyond the advancement level, why hasn't he been upgraded to a third-level mage?"
