Chapter 103 Knowledge Point Transformation
"So what's the use of this knowledge? Is it to gain an understanding of it, to acquire knowledge?" Lin Wei tilted his head, his eyes filled with doubt.
Despite his many thoughts, his actions were swift. Lin Wei's eyes narrowed, and he instantly transformed into his silver-armored lion form. His movements were as fast as lightning, and he scratched off several of the spiked stone fish's spikes with one claw. Then, he launched another attack quickly, his claws carrying a strong wind as he repeatedly grabbed at the stone fish.
The stone fish was not to be outdone. The bony spikes on its back secreted mucus in an attempt to block Lin Wei's attack, and it twisted its body, trying to retaliate. Lin Wei nimbly dodged, and seizing the opportunity, he delivered another heavy claw strike, slamming it hard into the stone fish.
……
Before long, the Spiky Stonefish was completely killed by Lin Wei. It twitched a few times on the deck before dying, its slime splattering everywhere.
Unlike before, after this stone fish died, a faint glow appeared on its body, as if guiding Lin Wei to touch it.
"This is something that appeared on the corpse, like a piece of knowledge?" Lin Wei looked on with a guessing expression. He slowly walked over, his steps cautious, and reached out to touch it. The faint light seemed to have a life of its own and entered Lin Wei's body.
The next moment, a prompt message appeared in my mind.
[Take in 3 key points]
"Let's try converting it?" Lin Wei muttered to himself.
hum!
A strange sound appeared in Lin Wei's mind, and then he clearly sensed that there were 3 more water element factors in his mind.
[Consumed 3 knowledge points]
[Converted to 3 element factors]
"This is... a direct one-to-one conversion?" Lin Wei's eyes widened in shock. "I spent almost a whole year and only got 71 water element factors, and now I've gained three more in less than half an hour!"
Lin Wei's heart trembled uncontrollably, and his hands shook slightly with excitement: "The Rubik's Cube really didn't disappoint me... The function of the gray face is a bit abnormal. Let's call it the Gray Knowledge Face. On one hand, it can check my cultivation progress, and on the other hand, it can check the specific situation of the enemy, as well as the knowledge points absorbed."
"As for this deduction, it seems it hasn't been unlocked yet; we're still facing a lack of knowledge." Lin Wei frowned, pondering carefully.
Lin Wei roused himself, rubbed his hands together, collected the hard spines of the spiked stonefish into the cabin, and then put all his strength into casting the transparent line again, his eyes fixed on the sea.
"At this rate, I won't need to spend much time to accumulate 100 water element factors, which is the level of a second-class wizard apprentice. Then I can start learning simple witchcraft and become a full-fledged wizard, instead of being a half-baked wizard like I am now, unable to even cast a single spell." Lin Wei grinned, revealing a happy smile.
An hour later, the transparent thread trembled again, and another spiky stone fish was caught, only this one was a little smaller.
"I can only absorb 2 knowledge points. It seems that even for the same creature, different sizes will yield different numbers of points." Lin Wei pouted with some regret.
He effortlessly killed the spiky stonefish. The stonefish struggled on the deck, but Lin Wei skillfully dodged its attacks and finished it off in a few moves. However, this spiky stonefish did not carry any hard bone spines.
"I remember a hard bone spike can be exchanged for 5 points inside the tower. It seems not every stone fish can carry one. It's perfect for both increasing my strength and accumulating points. I don't have many points left now, so this little boat will be my future support." Lin Wei dusted off his clothes and muttered to himself.
"By the way, Kardashian, you can come out now. Let's see if we can extract blood vessels from this spiked stonefish." Lin Wei patted the black pebbles in his pocket.
Soon, the female ghost Kardashian slowly floated out, her body swaying gently in the breeze.
"Well, I'm finally free. I didn't dare to move around much under that tower, and I didn't even feel safe in your room." Kardashian stretched, pouted, and looked aggrieved.
"This sea is nice, isn't it? It's called the Endless Sea. It's inhabited by sea creatures, who are our wizards' number one enemy," Lin Wei said, pointing to the sea.
"The Endless Sea? When I left, the Wizarding World didn't have this sea. These sea creatures must be from another dimension." Kardashian became serious, her brows furrowing slightly, her eyes revealing deep thought.
"Yes, these sea creatures are tough to deal with. At least that vast ocean is their stage. We apprentice wizards can only hunt from ships. Compared to the ocean, a ship is like an ant." Lin Wei stood at the bow, facing the sea breeze, his brow furrowed. He nodded helplessly as he gazed at the boundless sea. "Of the apprentice wizards in our organization currently undergoing training, about 15% to 20% have died because they have to offer sea creature flesh as tribute. If this continues, how many will survive and become proper wizards?"
Waves surged in, crashing against the hull with a "bang, bang" sound, causing the boat to sway slightly.
"Those graduating wizard apprentices are even worse off. Even if they pay with sea creature flesh and blood, they can only live on the outskirts of Turing Island. Although the elemental density is higher than that of wild islands, it is not as high as that near the tower. Their cultivation speed will only be slower. It will be difficult for them to break through to become a first-ring wizard. No wonder Senior Sister Dora said that only one out of fifty first-class wizard apprentices can become a first-ring wizard, and I now think that data is a bit conservative." Lin Wei clenched his fists, his face full of worry, and the sea breeze made his hair a little messy.
Lin Wei had spent the last few days analyzing the wizarding world and the structure of Turing Tower, arriving at this disheartening conclusion. He looked down at the slightly undulating deck beneath his feet and sighed softly.
"Fortunately, Senior Sister Doraemon is quite strong, and she can handle sea beasts of the same level. Although I haven't seen her much these days, she still sends me her latest baked goods from time to time." Lin Wei's lips curled up slightly, and a warm smile appeared on his face as he pictured Senior Sister Doraemon in his mind.
Aside from Dora, he knew very few of the other wizard apprentices; the relationships between wizards were even more distant. Everyone was busy with their own things, and when they occasionally bumped into each other, they would only nod briefly.
Everyone struggled to survive and strived to reach the level of a first-ring wizard. The ship moved slowly across the sea, leaving a white trail in its wake.
"I'll just explore this area. Going out further might lead to encounters with even stronger sea creatures, which would be a loss. Anyway, I'll become stronger sooner or later; I can't afford to fail." Lin Wei's eyes were resolute as he gripped the fishing line tightly, his survivalist spirit kicking in. "The wizarding world isn't as simple as I thought; I can't let my guard down."
