Chapter 85 Obtaining Mission Rewards
Li Ang pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, Harris, I have some matters to attend to. I'll leave the task of finding other auxiliary materials to you. It doesn't have to be a specific type; you can write down anything you think is feasible."
Li Ang said this for two reasons: firstly, he did have other things to deal with, and secondly, he intended for the two of them to work together on a task to improve their teamwork.
Maya and Harris readily agreed to the task, stating that they would definitely produce results this time.
Seeing that the two were full of fighting spirit, Li Ang felt slightly relieved.
After leaving Maya's dormitory, he first went to the cafeteria to fill his stomach, and then returned to his own dormitory.
Closing the door shut out the noise of the outside world, Li Ang couldn't help but recall the scene of destruction. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his fear.
Learning step by step is too slow. Faced with the impending destruction, Li Ang decides to put his vague idea into practice.
During his trip to Obsidian City, the unexpected synergy between Miguel's [Lightning Strike] and Remus's [Water Bullet] gave him new inspiration. The combined power of these attributes was far more than just the sum of its parts.
Having already copied extensively, he was thoroughly familiar with the theoretical structure and energy flow of basic spells in each system; what he lacked was practice and deeper integration and application.
He recalled information about the [Arc] spell in his mind. It was a typical level 0 lightning spell that could release a short burst of electricity.
Although this spell is far less powerful than [Lightning Strike], it is easy to learn. Even if you don't have an elemental affinity for lightning, you can learn it relatively easily by relying on your understanding of spells of various elements.
He calmed his mind, and the three ordinary stars in his spiritual world slowly rotated around the central star with a halo, mobilizing his surging spiritual power.
The spell model of [Arc] was quickly constructed in the mental world, with the details of energy flow being crystal clear.
He raised his hand, his fingertips gleaming faintly.
"Crackling"
A thin blue arc of electricity shot out instantly, striking a copper coin on the table with a slight pop. The coin bounced off, leaving a small charred mark on its surface.
Although he learned the Arc Spell with almost no effort, Li Ang was not satisfied and continued to practice the spell.
Gradually, he became more and more skilled at controlling the generation, form, and intensity of electric current.
After an unknown amount of time, when he released the electric arc again, the arc did not disappear immediately, but changed shape in the air according to his will.
"It's done." Li Ang nodded in satisfaction.
Mastering the Arc Spell was only the first step in his plan; the real challenge was to try fusing different spells together.
As he watched the lingering sparks of electricity in the air, the spells [Water Creation] and [Wind Blade] came to mind.
A vague yet highly tempting idea took shape in his mind.
The thought made his heart race, but he also realized its danger. Forcibly fusing magic of different attributes—if not controlled properly, an explosion would be the least of the problems.
He looked around his not-so-spacious dormitory room. To experiment with restoration magic here was tantamount to tearing down his house.
Suppressing the urge to put it into practice immediately, Li Ang sat cross-legged, activated [Gentle Breeze Barrier Lv3], took the potion, and entered a meditative state.
Li Ang only ended his meditation and lay down on the bed to sleep when the star began to swell and could no longer hold any more spiritual energy.
The next morning, Li Ang arrived at the station of the eighth squad of the law enforcement team on time.
Captain Eric was the first to arrive, and he was sitting at the table drinking a refreshing herbal tea. When he saw Li Ang, he nodded.
Soon, Miguel, Remus, and Elisa also arrived one after another.
"Everyone's here." Captain Eric put down his teacup, his expression turning serious.
"Let me announce the rewards for the last escort mission to Obsidian City."
Everyone immediately straightened their backs, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"The basic task reward is 300 School Contribution Points and 2 Silver Coins per person."
Miguel whistled, and Remus and Elisa also looked delighted; the reward was quite generous.
Captain Eric turned his gaze to Li Ang, his tone filled with admiration:
"Li Ang, you performed exceptionally well. Especially your quick reaction during the attack by the Wyvern King, which helped repel the powerful enemy, and your contribution to Lelita's victory in the subsequent exchange competition. After review and approval, you are hereby awarded an additional 500 contribution points."
But that wasn't all. After saying that, Captain Eric took out his contribution card and, while operating it, said:
"As for the life-saving grace... it cannot be measured by this contribution, but it is a small token of my appreciation, please do not refuse."
As he spoke, he transferred 200 contribution points to Li Ang.
"Captain, this..." Li Ang was somewhat surprised.
Eric waved his hand, interrupting him:
"I told you not to refuse, so it's settled."
Elisa and the others echoed:
"Please accept this, Li Ang. It's a token of the captain's appreciation."
……
...
After being persuaded by everyone, Li Ang accepted the gift as a token of his gratitude.
In this way, Li Ang's contribution points reached 2500, taking a big step towards the goal of repairing the floating core.
"Continue to rest and regroup today, remain on standby. Begin normal patrol duties tomorrow," Captain Eric announced.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Li Ang spoke up:
"Captain, I would like to request access to the practice room."
Eric was somewhat surprised, then a relieved smile appeared on his face:
"Hmm, very good. Stay humble and never forget to improve yourself. Go ahead, you can use our team's practice room anytime from now on."
After saying that, he touched his own badge to Li Ang's badge, thus granting Li Ang permission to enter the practice room.
"Thank you, Captain."
Li Ang quickly arrived at the practice room located deep inside the law enforcement team building, with the number eight written on the door.
He used the enforcement team's badge to open the gate and went inside.
This place is more than ten times more spacious than the dormitory. The walls and the ground are engraved with powerful defensive magic arrays. In the center stand several black stone targets used to test the power of spells. The targets are also covered with runes and are obviously extremely sturdy.
Li Ang took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to practice.
He first used the [Wind Blade Technique], suspending the wind blade in front of him without releasing it, and at the same time, he used the [Water Creation Technique] again inside the wind blade.
In the first few attempts, either the water sphere was torn apart by the wind blades, or the wind blades were destroyed by the water spheres. The difficulty of casting two spells at the same time far exceeded Li Ang's expectations.
But he was not discouraged and continued to practice. With the help of the [Acceleration Ring LV4], his mental energy was virtually inexhaustible for his practice.
He carefully experienced the characteristics of the two different magical attributes, searching for that delicate balance.
