The next morning.

    Kei, leading his army, stormed out of the city, heading out on a grand hunt for the Black Scale Lizardfolk.

    Su Nan, as always, stayed in his room, attending to his own affairs.

    In his study, with the windows and doors tightly shut, a bright yellow candle flickered and danced.

    Su Nan sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed.

    After about two hours, he ended his meditation and opened his eyes.

    On his panel, the Star Ring Meditation Method proficiency had increased by 5 points.

    His Spiritual Power had also increased by 0.01.

    “At this rate, it will take about half a year to construct the first Star Ring.”

    Su Nan’s eyes flickered slightly.

    According to the description in that introductory book, without external help, most Wizard Apprentices would take two to three years to construct their first Star Ring.

    Wizard Apprentices with exceptional aptitude could shorten this time to about a year.

    From this perspective, even excluding the enhancement effect of the Silver Moon Flower Essence, his ‘aptitude’ could be considered quite exceptional.

    After all, in most games, players with data panels were all unparalleled geniuses compared to natives.

    However, Su Nan was still not satisfied.

    It would take half a year to construct the first Star Ring, and it would take even longer for the second and third.

    Calculating it all, it would probably take three to four years to become a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice.

    Wouldn’t it take ten or twenty years to become a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice?

    What about becoming an official Wizard?

    A hundred years?

    It should be noted that the lifespan of a Wizard Apprentice was not much longer than that of an ordinary person.

    Without undergoing physical transformation, their lifespan would not exceed two hundred years at most.

    Only by becoming a Wizard and breaking through the shackles, with the life essence being elevated, could their lifespan be significantly extended.

    Su Nan’s goal was to become a Wizard before his life ended, so that he could live until the Elemental Revival a thousand years later.

    “I still need to further improve the efficiency of my meditation.”

    Su Nan got up and went to the bookshelf, taking out “Complete Guide to Zero-Tier Potions”.

    This book recorded eighteen different zero-tier potion formulas.

    Apart from the Dragon Blood Potion, there were also Brute Force Potion, Healing Potion, Swiftness Potion, Light Sensitivity Potion, and so on.

    To cast a spell, one needed to first use Spiritual Power to construct the corresponding Spell Model, and then use the model to draw on energy particles, releasing them in a special way, which would become the so-called spell.

    Simply put, the Spell Model was like the CPU processor that transformed energy particles into various spells.

    It was just that this processor was extremely precise and complex, with countless spell circuits and nodes that could make one’s scalp tingle.

    Even the simplest zero-ring Spell Model was far more complex than one could imagine.

    And each Spell Model involved several fields of knowledge.

    Take Master’s Hand as an example, it involved energy circulation and force field energy conversion. To master Master’s Hand, one would need to find books related to these two fields of knowledge, learn them, and master them.

    Therefore, the time a Wizard Apprentice took to learn a spell was often measured in years.

    But Su Nan, this “挂逼 (ga? bi?, slang for overpowered/cheater)”, was an exception.

    With his player panel, he didn’t need to understand the knowledge in the books or master any prerequisite knowledge. He could simply read the spell books and increase his learning progress.

    Even if he didn’t understand a word!

    Similarly, he didn’t need to painstakingly construct complex Spell Models in his mind.

    As long as his learning progress was maxed out, he could instantly master the spell, and the related knowledge would also be instantly understood.

    This was the advantage of being a player.

    Opening the Master’s Hand Spell Model book, Su Nan read it intently.

    After about half an hour, a line of text slowly appeared before him.

    【Reading “Master’s Hand Spell Model”, “Master’s Hand” learning progress +0.08%】

    In the days that followed, Su Nan spent his days meditating and reading spell books.

    Occasionally, he would take a break to process the Black Scale Lizardfolk corpses that Kei sent back, extracting their blood to make Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion.

    As his skill proficiency increased, his potion making skills became more proficient, and his success rate gradually improved.

    In the end, he was able to make a bottle of Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion from an average of three portions of Sub-Dragon’s Blood.

    Over the course of half a month, he had already accumulated eleven bottles of Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion.

    When Kei returned to the inner castle council hall of Black Stone City, dusty and weary, he was greeted by Su Nan and the potions lined up neatly on the table.

    “This is the potion you mentioned that can enhance physique?”

    Kei picked up a potion, looking at the crimson liquid swaying in the transparent glass bottle, his face filled with amazement.

    The knights around him all stretched their necks to look at the potion on the table, their eyes shining with eagerness.

    After all, according to Su Nan, these potions had effects even for official Knights.

    Who wouldn’t want to become stronger?
