Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Bai Jin’s Plan

Thinking of a good way to quickly acquire Contribution Value, just as Yang Yu was about to further ponder how to execute his plan specifically, someone gently knocked on the door of his room.

Opening the door, Bai Jin stood at the threshold, silent.

Looking at Bai Jin, who was lowering her head in front of the door, Yang Yu took the initiative to ask, "Is there something you need?"

Bai Jin initially had some difficulty speaking, but upon seeing Yang Yu’s face, a slow but growing determination appeared in her eyes. She opened the manual in her hand and pointed to an entry for Yang Yu to see.

——Successful applicants who join the All Things Library can register for classes on Friday afternoons. As long as the mentor agrees, they may study magic under their mentorship. (Note: All students must adhere strictly to the rules set by the mentors. The first mentor choice is free, but subsequent changes may incur hefty additional fees.)

"I heard that one can learn magic for free here, and I want to give it a try."

Speaking of which, those cathedral-like buildings at the foot of the Sky-reaching Library, which resembled tiered classrooms, those were probably the very classrooms where the All Things Library allows mentors to teach students.

"There’s nothing wrong with that, if you want to go, then go."

"You don’t object?"

Bai Jin was surprised that Yang Yu agreed so readily to her request to learn magic. In her room, she had thought over various reactions Yang Yu might have, but she had never expected him to agree so easily.

"Why would I object if you could learn new magic and enhance our combat strength?"

Not only did Yang Yu not oppose Bai Jin learning magic, he was very much in favor of it.

In some games, there is often a development mechanism where, by talking to relevant characters, players can enter designated places to acquire skills and gain Experience.

However, such a process in games is usually instantaneous.

Here, the passage of time is almost no different from reality, and Yang Yu did not know how much time Bai Jin would need to freeload some magic.

But now that they were here, getting a free skill counted for something, and it would be even better if she could freeload "No Chanting," a Passive skill. If she could eliminate the chanting time for ordinary Attack Magic, it could greatly improve the efficiency of her attacks.

Therefore, Yang Yu fully supported Bai Jin in choosing a mentor to increase her proficiency in magic.

However, if Bai Jin attended the magic lectures, she naturally couldn’t help him to do extensive research at the Library.

The task of researching couldn’t be handed over to Iyas either, as she would likely overlook many details.

This meant that, in the end, the burden would still fall on himself.

Conning the All Things Library had just gotten a degree harder, but Yang Yu had already devised a new plan in his mind.

Since his purpose for coming to the Library was to gather information, he didn’t need to become a permanent Star-level Member, just needed to get his hands on all the knowledge he wanted, and all would be well.

There was a lot of room for maneuver in this.

Given enough time, Yang Yu even felt he could figure out various ways to get the knowledge he wanted from the Library.

"Is there anything else?"

Bai Jin shook her head, her eyes revealing firmness, and she silently clenched her fists, "I will definitely learn a lot of magic, and then I won’t be useless like before."

Gently patting Bai Jin’s head, Yang Yu smiled, "Magic isn’t about quantity, but about precision. In any case, magic that won’t be used will be phased out, and having too many of the same type of magic is just for show. I’ll prepare a list for you, and if you come across the types of magic listed, try to learn them and bring them back."

"Okay!"

After a brief exchange, Yang Yu took out some paper and a pen and listed the types of magic he could think of.

What Yang Yu wanted Bai Jin to learn the most were actually auxiliary types of magic.

For example, the Protection Shield, which is very commonly used by Magicians, or short-range speed boosting magic. If Bai Jin could learn the High-Speed Circuit of the Catastrophe Witch, Yang Yu would wake up laughing from his dreams.

Although he had invested quite a few points into increasing Bai Jin’s Blood Volume and mana, Bai Jin was still as fragile as paper.

Currently, Yang Yu’s only Control Skill was Thorny Binding, and he did not have the key skill Taunt either.

If an enemy were to launch a sudden attack on the vulnerable Bai Jin while Yang Yu was otherwise engaged, Bai Jin could very likely lose her life.

This was something Yang Yu least wanted to see, so it was important for Bai Jin to learn some life-saving skills that might come in handy one day.

Secondly, Yang Yu wrote down the need for large-scale AOE (Area of Effect) skills.

To face a boss alone or quickly clear mobs, large-scale AOE was essential.

Although Bai Jin had two AOE skills, Black Thunder Surge and Ice Cone Skill, Black Thunder Surge did not distinguish between friend and foe and could easily cause friendly fire.

Even though it could be used to trigger Sudden Killing Intent, Yang Yu now had a high Blood Volume and a high margin for error, and no longer needed to use that method to boost his Speed.

He had not mentioned it before, but being hit by Black Thunder Surge would cause Yang Yu to be briefly immobilized, though this immobilization also affected the enemies, providing Yang Yu with opportunities.

However, if they encountered an enemy that did not immobilize or had very high Resistance to immobilization, brief periods of immobilization would only present more flaws in Yang Yu’s defenses and give the enemy an opportunity.

If possible, Yang Yu still wanted to add higher-quality AOE skills to his arsenal, like the superior version of Ice Cone Skill, Blizzard, and Lightning Chain, which could chain multiple targets at once.

After writing down several other skills, Yang Yu handed the paper to Bai Jin,

"Try to learn the first few skills if possible; it’s not a big deal if you can’t learn the others. You can take your time with them later."

Bai Jin nodded lightly, carefully folded the paper, and tucked it into her skirt’s pocket, "I will do my utmost to learn them well."

"I get the feeling that there’s a good vibe between you two! As much as I don’t want to interrupt, it’s about time for a meal."

Unbeknownst to them, Iya had appeared behind Yang Yu and Bai Jin.

Since Yang Yu did not think it would take long, he had not closed the door, and Iya had boldly walked up behind them and quietly observed. Only after the two of them had finished their business did Iya slowly speak,

"When I came over for the Martial Arts Exam, I didn’t eat anything. Normally, wouldn’t you confirm your room first and head directly to the cafeteria, and then deal with anything else upon return? After going through so many obstacles to get into the Library, shouldn’t you have a good meal to celebrate?"

Saying this, Iya crossed her arms, her face full of dissatisfaction.

Yang Yu smiled helplessly, "You’re right, after being on the move for so long, I do indeed need to treat myself. On the way here, I smelled something really delicious, so let’s go there!"
