Chapter 3: Goldfinger without Magic
In the simulated world, Brand can create whatever he thinks of.
At the same time, Brand can bring items in the simulated world to the real world by consuming mental power.
Combining the two, as long as Brand has enough mental power, he can possess any item even in the real world.
This is why Brand spent a whole semester of his free time in the simulation world instead of learning about mage knowledge.
——As a super boss who can create the world! Are you now telling me about the courses and final assessment at the Law School?
Ahem...
he still has to take part in the final assessment.
As a handsome descendant of a noble family, although Brand has various shortcomings and bad habits, he does not lack self-awareness.
With his current amount of mental power, it would be very difficult to create a cup of coffee in the real world.
The so-called creation of the world is just for self-entertainment when no one is around.
He needs to become a more powerful mage to have a higher mental power limit and a longer blue bar, so that the ability to manifest fantasy can be fully utilized.
Because of this, although Brand has never been able to understand what the teacher is saying in class, he has never been absent from the class this semester.
After all, skipping class for no reason will result in a demerit, and if you keep showing up a few times, you will be expelled.
Previously, Brand was not actually worried about the final assessment.
Because of the regulations of the Imperial Mage Academy, as long as you become a junior mage apprentice, you can be exempted from the final assessment of the first semester.
Brand had always believed that he had the near-invincible ability to manifest his dreams!
Isn’t it easy to get the qualification to be exempted from the final examination of the first semester of the Master College?
Things developed pretty much as he thought.
Because when entering the simulated world, the body in the real world is also in a meditative state. In the past few months of school, except for classes and meals, Brand spent almost all of his free time in the simulated world.
Therefore, under constant meditation, Brand's mental power has now reached the standard of a junior mage apprentice!
There are only two basic requirements for becoming a junior mage apprentice, one is mental power and the other is magic power.
Therefore, Brand, whose mental power has reached the standard, only needs to create enough magic cores for him to quickly absorb magic power!
Only three days!
No!
Only two days!
He, Mr. Brand, can use mental power and magic power to open up a mental space, and then become a junior mage apprentice, thereby obtaining exemption from the final exam!
——This is what Brand originally planned.
But just now when he wanted to create a magic core, he suddenly discovered the hidden rules of this simulated world.
——This is a world without extraordinary things. Spiritual energy, magic power, extraordinary substances, etc., etc., will not work here!
After trying over and over again, Brand sadly discovered:
Whether it is the basis of the extraordinary world: magic and magic plants; or the basic trading currency of the Farnes Continent: silver and magic gold; or the expensive and rare materials: magic. Core, magic crystal.
There is no way to create it in the simulation world.
At least so far, he can only create things he has seen on Earth, and he has to know the rough composition!
After knowing that there is nothing magical about a simulated world having such limitations.
Brand soon turned his attention to diamonds and various gemstones, which are highly sought after on Earth.
However, after some inquiring, Bran found that there seemed to be no market for them in the Farnes Continent.
For beautiful and compact decorations, people in Farnes Continent are more concerned about its magic suitability, magic conductivity, magic storage ability, etc. It is best for the finished product to be able to store one or two practical spells. If it cannot be combined with "magic
" "It's not the same thing, but if it's pretty and good-looking, it's cheaper.
Its value ranges from a few to dozens of fine silver coins.
All in all, after some research, Brand found that his golden finger did not seem to be of much help in becoming a junior magic apprentice!
The "exam-free" plan to quickly be promoted to a junior mage apprentice by relying on unlimited resources failed before it even started!
Worst case scenario, Brand just discovered this!
There is only one week left before the final assessment of the first semester!
The handsome Mr. Brand did not want to return home in despair so early and be buried in the grave of marriage.
Therefore, Brand, who was deeply pressed for time, had to look through this semester's magic textbooks in frustration, trying to learn a whole semester's knowledge in a few days.
This is the origin of the first scene of the story.
——Brand was flipping through the basic textbooks for the first semester of the Mage Academy with a distressed look on his face.
In addition to the thick dictionary in Brand's hand, there are dozens of "exam reference books" of almost the same thickness stacked on the table nearby.
Although Brand now has a super memory because he learned to meditate.
But after an hour of study, Brand sadly discovered that it was absolutely impossible to memorize all the contents of these books without spending a month!
Needless to say, there is no need to mention mastery. As a scumbag, Brand now only wants to pursue passing grades.
Brand, who had been aware of this fact for a long time
, finally put down the book in his hand.
"This can't go on like this!"
Brand began to think about whether there were any other "shortcuts" that could solve his current problem.
In the past life, an ancient person said: If you are poor, you will change! Change will lead to success!
Although being a "glamorous" loser has embarrassed the army of time travellers, the optimistic Brand feels that he will definitely be able to find a solution if he works harder.
Brand began to carefully recall the content of the exam.
The final examination of the first semester is divided into two parts: a compulsory subject examination and multiple elective subject examinations.
The examination content of the compulsory subjects is the introductory knowledge of the mage.
The content of the test questions for this exam is contained in the more than ten "exam reference books" in front of Brand.
It is most likely too late to enter the simulated world and read a book through meditation.
Because entering a meditative state also takes time.
In an absolutely quiet environment, it can take about ten minutes at the fastest.
In addition, although the exam content is relatively narrow, such a thick book is not so easy to read!
Elective subjects here.
Its examination scope is not just a dozen books. The elective subjects include alchemy and pharmacy, runic arrays, spell research and other minor subjects.
Candidates of the Master College can choose one or more elective subjects for the final examination.
As long as the exams for the required subjects and any elective courses meet the passing standards, the final exam will be considered passed.
It should be mentioned in particular that although the exams for elective subjects in the first semester only test the most basic things, they also involve practical exercises.
This is a bit confusing to Brand. It cannot be done with theoretical knowledge alone!
At present, it seems that Brand's probability of passing the exam is almost zero.
"So the only way is to become a junior mage apprentice?"
Brand began to think about ways to quickly become a junior mage apprentice without relying on golden fingers:
"The thing that hinders me from becoming a junior mage apprentice now is that I have enough magic core, but I don't have enough magic gold coins to buy enough magic cores now."
After thinking for a while, Brand turned his attention to the cappuccino on the table on his left.
His eyes gradually brightened!
——He thought of a way!
