The Truth of Magic

Chapter 25: True Intelligence

As time went by, Zhao Xu finally discovered what he was worried about.

He might, really might not have that talent.

When he wanted to play Arthur in his previous life, his roommate analyzed it for him. Although the mage had risen slightly, it was still too difficult for a novice like him, so the warrior was recommended to him.

Therefore, Zhao Xu never knew whether he had the talent to learn magic.

Some kind of gift that no one can explain beyond the most basic intelligence.

Otherwise, in the entire Arthur, any creature with an intelligence of 11 is eligible to become a mage.

Even after a month, hundreds of full-point 18-smart players will burst out. Because they have not been able to complete the training of new mages, they agreed to an incident of deleting their accounts in anger, which directly knocked down the number of new players who chose mages.

This study in Mistra Floating Void City was also Zhao Xu's first exposure to mage courses.

After everyone crossed over in the previous life, everyone lost the privilege of deleting their account and starting over. Whatever account everyone uses, they have to walk down a dead end.

So Zhao Xu's feeling that it was hard to get started at this moment made him feel a little conflicted.

It was as if when the exam was about to be handed in, he hadn't painted the answer sheet yet, and at the same time hadn't done the last big question.

It would be fine if he felt this bitterness alone, Antinoya just sat quietly in his dormitory these days as if he had nothing to do, waiting for his question.

Not going anywhere, just teaching him like this, the feeling of others watching you have been silent is even more uncomfortable.

If he had fully understood the structure of the spell, then he could blame his "Wisdom Spellcaster" ability for the unsuccessful transcription.

He didn't understand any of the nineteen spells at level zero.

At first, Zhao Xu thought it was because of the wrong orientation of the spells, but he didn't expect that he changed five zero-level spells in a row and still didn't understand them.

Antinoya reminded him to feel the flow of those models, just like calligraphy, each stroke has its own depth and outline.

He can feel it, but he can't connect it all the time, just like he can't even imitate the feeling.

"Teacher, how long have you been at this level?" In the end, Zhao Xu sighed and asked Antinoya about his past experience. He had seen enough introductions from other players in the past few days.

He delayed going online for an hour tonight just to read more strategy posts, but it was still useless.

That layer of film is the difference between Tianchao and Tongtu.

"Me? I was reading and transcribing at the same time."

"Teacher, don't you need to understand?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Understand? To me, they are as straightforward as words, and there is something I need to understand. It is not a first-level arcane, because it involves risks, so it is mandatory to study for 24 hours to offset this risk."

"Are there no zero-level spells?" Zhao Xu continued to ask.

"If there is, it is not a trick. These nineteen spells are the safest nineteen simple spells that we have screened out and researched. They can't be blown up no matter how you play them."

Zhao Xu felt that he was like a scumbag from a classmate meeting a bully from a schoolmate.

He could only ask politely again, "How many years has it been since you started learning magic before you officially came into contact with these zero-level spells?"

"Three years." Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu took a breath.

Others have accumulated it in three years and it will come naturally. Don't pursue too much of his quick achievement in a week.

This is also the reason why other people can develop magic, but their players can only use magic.

All Arthur's arcane arts and even some divine arts, all the ins and outs of his life are recorded one by one.

"But why haven't I been able to understand?" Zhao Xu finally asked about his dilemma.

Antinoya chuckled when she heard this, "You finally couldn't help asking?"

"Everyone in Arthur, you can perceive your own character card after obtaining the first level basic occupation level, you know this?"

Zhao Xu nodded. Their players could see it even without level 1.

Arthur's natives can only see character cards after reaching level 1, and they can get more modules as they level up.

In other words, in Arthur's World, all adventurers have a character card system.

This is also the reason why everyone can quantify the level, expertise, professional ability and so on.

This has never been a secret.

"And your players' six attributes, strength, agility, physique, charm, and perception systems can all make up for you. Even if your perception is low, the system will tell you how you feel, so it can simulate your attribute panel. perceived value."

"Only intelligence, the system has not evolved for you."

"The real you don't have 16 points of intelligence, so naturally you can't understand it quickly."

Only then did Zhao Xu understand.

In other words, intelligence is something that both the player Earth and Arthur share. It is understandable that the player's charm and perception are inconsistent in the two worlds.

But if he finds that Arthur himself is smarter, or becomes smarter after playing games, then everything will go wrong.

This is also the reason why Arthur, only intelligence did not improve them.

It turns out that this is the reason why the mage group has been stuck for so long.

Human beings have an average intelligence of 10 points, and the normal distribution of 8-12 intelligence is the range of the majority of people. Zhao Xu guessed that he would probably reach 13.

As for the 16th, 17th, and 18th grades, they are all kinds of top-notch smart people who even have a photographic memory, and the number is naturally extremely rare.

Some people can't learn mages by life and death, and it's useless to set an intelligence of 18 points, because if the real intelligence is not 11 points, the system will definitely not be able to understand it without helping to improve it.

I am afraid that most people in Arthur can't understand this fact now, only a legendary powerhouse like Antinoya can understand it.

"Mentor, I accepted the fact that I was not that smart. Is there any remedy?" Zhao Xu admitted that his real intelligence was not 16 points.

"Of course there is a way." Antinoya smiled, as if happy with the fact that Zhao Xu thought he was stupid.

"Then let me ask you, why do you need to understand?"

"I don't understand how to transcribe it into my heart?" Zhao Xu was even more confused.

"You know that a sword is coming, and you can dodge it. Why do you need to be smart enough to know where it comes from?"

Zhao Xu was shocked. He seemed to have touched some kind of threshold, but he was just like a beginner in swimming. He had never been able to kick that leg and learn how to swim.

Seeing Zhao Xu's frown, Antinoya knew exactly what problem he was facing.

"You are on a river, you don't have to be able to swim, you can go down the river just like you are in a boat."

Seeing that Zhao Xu hadn't responded yet, she could only speak more bluntly, "You just follow the waves up and down stroke by stroke."

Make the most of the situation!

Zhao Xu realized it immediately, and he quickly turned to the first page of the "Encyclopedia of Level 0 Spells".

All additional text was forgotten by him.

His mind was only those models.

Suddenly, everything became like a living thing, and the whole model began to change.

Zhao Xu's heart also danced, and the pen followed the dragon.

"Reading Magic" has been transcribed.

"Detect Magic" was successfully transcribed.

"Dancing Lights" was also successfully transcribed.

...

The "magic trick" completes the transcription.

In the end, all nineteen zero-level spells were transcribed into the depths of his heart, flickering like mysterious pictures one after another.

If someone was on the sidelines, they would be stunned. Someone could copy nineteen zero-level spells in one go!
