I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 305: Fight to the death!
……
"Hint: If you insist on reading "Notes of a Barber Apprentice" tonight, you will consume more than double the energy, which may affect your work tomorrow..."
……
"Going to work!"
"I don't work anymore in reality, but when I come to the historical world, I still work..."
"This is outrageous!"
Roger scratched his head.
It's impossible to get him to give up reading at this point.
As for work.
Let's talk tomorrow!
I have endured the humiliation for so long. With the outliers cleared to zero, it should be okay to occasionally make a small mistake, right?
With that in mind.
He started tonight's reading time.
The energy value is slowly consumed.
A little bit of transcendental information jumps out of the paper.
Roger's character quickly becomes obsessed with reading.
……
"Read: You Gained Knowledge (The Cliff of the Spirit World)"
……
"You have gained knowledge (ascension plank road)"
……
"You have acquired knowledge (related to dreaming)"
……
Unconsciously.
It's dawn.
The overnight reading gave Roger a general understanding of the world's transcendent system.
As he had previously learned.
In and around Yuanwang Township.
A psychic of all kinds controls a single supernatural power.
And their power comes from the spirit world detached from the world.
The spirit world is empty and twisted.
It is a magical place that ordinary people can't touch in eternity.
The psychic can use rituals such as "ascension" or "dream" to enter the spiritual world to gain benefits or encounter danger.
According to the knowledge gained by the barber apprentice.
The spiritual world is shaped like a high and steep cliff. It is rumored that the higher the person who climbs on the "spiritual cliff", the stronger the authority.
More importantly.
The authority gained in the spirit world is sufficient to influence the real world.
Therefore, psychics are scrambling to climb the "spiritual cliff".
This move is called "spiritual ascension".
How difficult is the road to ascending spirits?
It is said that every year a large number of psychics stumble and fall on the cliffs of the spiritual world——
Unfortunately, they died suddenly.
If you are lucky, you will also lose the qualifications of a psychic and become a confused mortal.
In this case.
In the beginning, the five most powerful psychics opened five relatively easy plank roads on the cliff of the spiritual world.
These five plank roads are the "Spirit Ascension Plank Road".
These five people are honored as "stack masters".
In order to facilitate the climb, latecomers often choose one of the five stack masters to serve.
With the help of the stack master, they can perform relatively safe ascension.
Legend.
The five stack owners have already successfully ascended.
Their will governs the will of the universe.
And the five plank roads also represent the psychic laws of the five fields:
……
That is, knife, spring, frost, furnace, and breath.
……
And in reality.
The five laws correspond to the five psychic sects.
There are countless secret sects with unknown meanings within each sect.
For example, among the sword sects, there are "Ghost of the Day", "Blade Tooth", "Secret Society in the Forest" and other sects.
Although the psychics in these sects are all serving sword masters.
But there are also contradictions such as different ideas.
In addition.
It takes a high chance and a great price for a mortal to become a psychic.
Don't say anything else.
The introduction to the Ascension Ritual and the Dreaming Ritual alone is enough to keep most people out.
Take Roger's past life as an example.
The barber apprentice had traveled between three secret societies, doing the dirty work for them.
But until his death, he only collected an introductory book of "Xijiao".
He hasn't had time to perform his ascension yet.
I was stabbed to death by the enemy or the knife bought by the enemy.
This shows that it is not easy to ascend a spirit.
……
"It's all outliers!"
Early in the morning.
Roger put down the book in his hand with red eyes.
Hidden away the things he got last night. He didn't even have time to buy breakfast, so he hurried to work.
This day.
Roger lacked energy and was ineffective.
Two work errors occurred during the afternoon.
Fortunately Director Gorman is not around.
That saved him.
At night.
Roger continued to stay up all night studying hard.
Time until dawn.
He finally read through the thin notebook.
The barber apprentice is still a lot of things.
He's not a psychic, though.
But he knows psychics far better than most of his colleagues.
Especially the section on the Five Laws.
He left his own notes.
It's refreshing to see Roger.
……
"You have acquired knowledge (five laws)—
……
Knife and soldier.
All the killings and the ways of gold and iron in the world can be used as knives.
……
Spring is born.
It's spring.
……
Frost, water.
The law of change.
The end of the silence, the change of life and death.
Frost everywhere.
……
The furnace is the fire.
The scorching sun is a furnace.
The burning body is also a furnace.
……
Anyone, the land.
The resting place of all beings.
The place where the dead call.
The way of breathing will survive"
……
"This translation is too thorough!"
After reading.
Roger suddenly felt a sense of clarity, and his thoughts were unprecedentedly clear:
"What five psychic laws! Isn't it just "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth"! "
Think about it.
The five stack masters in the spiritual world are like the people who speak and act in the five elements.
The "Master Frost" is the boss of Yuanwang Town - the self-proclaimed goddess Meng.
With this understanding.
Roger has a rough plan of what to do next.
The "Notes" contains a list of materials needed for the first ascension.
All but one or two of these materials are relatively rare.
The rest have been collected by the barber apprentice and hidden in another secret stronghold.
So the only challenge Roger now faces is getting the introductory tome for the sect.
This may be difficult for ordinary people.
But he has the opportunity to become a psychic in his hands, so naturally he is not in a hurry.
A moment later.
He put down the book and stared at the slightly drunk morning light outside the window.
Right now.
On the data bar.
……
"Hint: Your historical knowledge (Yuanwang Town) +10"
……
"Legacy of Time: You have completed the interpretation of the transcendent system, and you have obtained additional information-
……
The Ascension Road of Yuanwang Town corresponds to the Ascension Road of the present world.
The five laws correspond to the collection strategies of the five types of persons.
You can learn how various personalities are collected in this world by deciphering the psychic laws.
You can also gain a person corresponding to this world by climbing on the path of ascension.
After each Ascension ceremony.
The personas you acquire in Legacy of Time will be settled into the Mortal Panel"
……
"So it is."
See here.
Roger is instantly motivated.
His suspicions were confirmed.
Although the world of Legacy of Time is not of the present.
But its extraordinary power can be transferred into the world.
In other words.
The stronger Roger becomes in this world, the greater the boost he will receive when he returns!
I just don't know how much the conversion loss is.
After confirming this information.
At the same time Roger became desperate for the Ascension Path.
He's also more interested in "The Lord of Time".
But now it's bright outside the window.
Roger didn't have time to think too much.
Weared a pair of panda eyes and hurried out to work.
……
"Asshole!"
"Are you trying to find fault? Send the patient to the morgue, send the corpse back to the hospital bed..."
"I'm now wondering if you're up to the job."
Evening.
In a remote hallway in a mission hospital.
Roger bowed his head silently.
In front of him and in his ears are the spittle and irritable reprimand of his boss, Gorman.
Due to lack of energy.
Even if Roger controls the body himself.
Sometimes there will inevitably be some mistakes.
Not to mention he is now in everyday life.
Skip is usually selected.
That's it for today.
Who knows after this one skip.
He's on the verge of getting fired!
……
"Sorry, Mr. Gorman."
"I'll work hard."
Roger tried to sound sincere in his tone.
"You better do this!"
The red-haired, thick-necked Gorman said solemnly:
"If I find out that you have neglected your work next time, I will ask the dean to fire you!"
Finished.
He walked away pompously.
Watch his back as he leaves.
Roger felt irritated.
To him now.
The cost-effectiveness of the job of caring is decreasing.
The income is stable.
But it's hard to accumulate.
The most important thing is not having enough energy to improve yourself - whether it's health, inspiration, or wealth!
These all take time and effort to accomplish.
He didn't do anything for two days.
Just stay up all night and read a book for a while.
If you want to prepare for Ascension.
At least 3 days of absence from work.
Obviously.
A carer without vacation is no longer for him.
That being said.
With the ability he possesses in his capacity, it is still very difficult to find a job in Yuanwang Town with more money and less work and less close to home.
Speak directly.
He'll have to figure out a way to get the gems out.
This may cause outliers to rise.
That's what Roger didn't want to see.
"It's time to figure out a solution to the problem at work..."
Thinking about it.
The long-lost choice bar quietly appeared.
……
"You have encountered difficulties from your immediate boss, Gorman, and you can't escape. It's time to seriously think about your predicament. What would you do?
……
Option 1: Serve softly. You can choose to persuade or bribe Gorman.
There are also rumors that he loves handsome young men.
You look at yourself in the mirror.
Perhaps try it after applying makeup.
……
Option Two: Assassination. You can try to kill Gorman, or buy a murderer to kill.
A few speakeasies in the Docklands.
Someone will take the business.
Only if you take the risk to find them.
After killing Gorman.
Maybe his job is yours,
After all, there are not many familiar faces like you in the church hospital.
……
Option three: Indifferent.
Doing nothing is probably not the worst option.
But that means you can't go wrong anymore.
……
Line 4: Others"
……
Not long after the full arrival.
Roger noticed that there was an additional "Other" in the choice column.
If Roger wants to find another way, then this is the option.
After he has carefully reviewed all options.
The first reaction was "assassination"!
In terms of his seniority.
Destroy Gorman.
He may be the head nurse!
But he quickly rejected the option.
Because Roger remembers it well.
Jenny Dean is not only an important member of the church, but her husband is also a police detective!
If people in the hospital die suddenly.
It will definitely attract the detective's investigation.
This is not in line with Roger's low-key development ideas.
……
"It's definitely not okay to be indifferent..."
"Gorman has always looked down on me."
"Is it only a bribe?"
The more Roger thought about it, the more depressed he became.
Only the next second.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Fergil, the mortuary administrator, is also Gorman's subordinate. Will he also be involved in the reselling of corpses?"
The more he thinks about it, the more likely it is!
After a little thought.
Roger decisively chose "Option Four"!
In the next few days.
He didn't read or do anything out of the ordinary.
Sleep well at night.
Work hard during the day.
Time passes by day by day.
One morning a week later.
Suddenly there was an anonymous report letter in the dean's office.
The letter mentions Vergil and his boss Gorman's hand-sell corpses, and adds fuel to the description. Several pieces of evidence are attached at the end of the letter.
It didn't make much of a splash.
It's just that Vergil and Gorman were quickly 'transferred' from their original positions.
Rumour has it.
The two were transferred to a church organization in the country.
It was also said that they saw two people being tortured in the Church of the Rain God's inquisition.
But all this did not have much impact on the church hospital.
The day after Gorman left.
Dean Jenny found Roger.
After letting him take Gorman's place, he recruited 2 carers from the Docklands as his staff.
After this.
Roger finally got a promotion and a raise.
We have ushered in a small peak of my own life.
The job of a supervisor is not that hard.
In terms of time, just keep an eye on it during the day.
This way.
His energy loss is greatly reduced.
Finally freed up time and energy for nighttime activities.
……
The night of the full moon one month later.
Roger makes a quiet trip to the Dockside Waste Distillery mentioned in "A Necromancer's Chance."
There.
He found a gathering of psychics called "Butterfly".
This meeting is held every three months.
Psychics can communicate with each other at gatherings.
Since everyone is wearing masks and other protective measures.
So it's not easy to identify each other.
At that party.
Roger purchased two copies of the "Spiritual Tome" for the price of gems-
One of them is the Furnace Sect secret book "The Legend of the Red Ghost".
The other is the introductory book of the Sword Sect, "The Gone Knight".
To him.
Bought two copies purely to hide.
He has no interest in the Furnace Cult.
From start to finish.
Roger's goal is to teach the sword!
After completing the transaction.
Roger left the Docklands for the first time.
Next month.
He has been quietly moving around his home.
While reading the secret manual of the Sword Sect, he went to another stronghold hidden by the barber apprentice, and got some materials needed for the "spiritual raising ceremony".
A month later on a moonless night.
In Roger's two-story cabin.
All occult materials are laid out as described in the tome.
The fumigation of the sagebrush is white.
Roger whispered the inexplicable prayer.
The choking smoke poured into his nostrils unnaturally.
The moment.
His eyes keep rolling up.
Leave only the whites of the eyes!
……
"Spirit Ascension Ceremony: You Came to the Cliff of the Spirit World"
……
"In front of you is the 'Knife Master Plank Road', do you want to start climbing?"
……
That moment.
Roger's consciousness seemed to drift through a thousand mountains and rivers.
In the end, he came to the spiritual world like a suffocated person surfaced!
What appeared before him was a cliff with no end in sight.
At this moment.
He is at the bottom of the cliff.
There is an extremely narrow plank road on the cliff, which twists and turns up, leading to the darkness above.
"This is the Ascension Plank Road."
"The first ascension is especially important. The farther you go, the more beneficial it will be for your future growth."
Now Roger concentrates.
He walked up the plank road step by step.
Walking in the spirit world is too much work.
The plank road is also too steep.
Every step.
He's going to stop and rest for a while.
But Roger's will was strong.
He just walked up tirelessly.
He encountered obstacles such as high winds, earthquakes, slippery feet and strange noises.
But he still persevered along the way.
Roger notices.
Every distance.
A little bit of light will emerge from the cliff and merge into his body.
The source of those radiance is the door after door on the cliff.
Mentioned in diary.
These doors are the spiritual treasures that may be entered in the "Dream Rituals".
If the ascension ceremony determines the starting platform of the psychic.
Then the dreaming ceremony is the process of a psychic exploring his potential and finding treasures on the platform he is on.
These doors are the objects of dreams.
"Anyway, the higher the first time, the better."
On the endless plank road.
Roger calms down.
Keep going.
Final.
When he was forcibly deported due to exhaustion ~IndoMTL.com~ he had come to the third platform of the knife master plank road.
Next moment.
The screen changes abruptly.
He opened his eyes in front of him.
The rattlesnake on the floor has long since burned out.
On the data bar.
……
"Spirit Ascension Ceremony: For the first time ascension, you have walked a total of 36 steps, which is an amazing performance for beginners, and you may get 'the attention of the sword master'"
……
"You have obtained psychic points: Knife*36;
Your psychic skills: the knife is upgraded to Tier I;
Upgrade your battle to 3 stars"
……
"Combat: ★★★☆☆" (You are very powerful now, you are good at killing, you can even consider part-time killers; it is almost impossible for non-spirits or colleagues to kill you)
……
"In the settlement of the current panel, is the psychic: Knife converted into a person? The person that can be converted includes but is not limited to the following options:
……
1. Hunting Person
2. Forging Persons
3. Metal bits
4. Killing Persons
…”
……
"Successful transformation, your Slaughter Rank +0.04, your Slaughter Rank exceeds 0.2, and you have acquired a new Specialty-Death Fight"
……
"Death: After activation, your near-death time is extended to 150 seconds. In the near-death state, you lose all defense attributes and gain 200% attack attribute bonus;
In a desperate situation.
Every kill.
A small amount can restore your health"
……
After reading the data column, take a line of information.
Roger is content.
This time.
There was only one thought in his heart:
"My Ascension Ceremony..."
"It's time to prepare!"
