Chapter 379: 024. Efficient Action

Li Aozi drank two cans of beer and roughly figured out his situation.

While checking his belongings, Li Aozi found a note in his coat pocket and took it out to read. It briefly stated:

"Awoken spiritual power, memory disorder, periodic amnesia, good exam luck, perfect score, maintain the image."

The handwriting was the same as his, which clarified his current condition.

A faint blue light appeared in Li Aozi’s eyes, and he didn’t have the slightest doubt about the authenticity of the note.

Furthermore, he easily supplemented his own experiences:

Due to the awakening of his spiritual power, his brain was impacted, leading to periodic memory loss, and he just happened to guess many questions correctly during the exam, surprisingly achieving a perfect score. That’s how he got admitted to the direct-affiliated schools of the Crystal Tower.

However, he just happened to have forgotten the contents of the exam because of the awakening of his spiritual power. Now, he could only maintain his image as a ’top student’ before making any plans.

It made sense, though coincidental, he wouldn’t deceive himself.

"This is kind of a mess..." Li Aozi shook his head, "Luckily, I left a note for myself before the amnesia set in, otherwise I’d be completely clueless."

Besides the note, Li Aozi also saw various hints written by his own hand in his personal information crystal and notebook, which continuously reinforced his understanding.

Regardless, since things have developed to this point, it can’t be considered a bad thing.

Baizhu Interstellar University is one of the top institutions within the entire Crystal Tower Civilization. Here, he could definitely gain a lot of rare knowledge.

However, Li Aozi glanced at his test scores and saw in the talent section written: one strong, two excellent, three outstanding.

"... This has to be a mistake."

Li Aozi’s eyes twitched.

Although he couldn’t see or remember what he wrote on his own test, judging from the note and the talent data, he could be sure that Baizhu Star had made a mistake.

But now that it had reached this point, even if Li Aozi tried to explain the mistake proactively, Baizhu Star would probably neither believe nor acknowledge it.

Moreover, the resources at Baizhu Interstellar University were too good; now that he was here, Li Aozi did not want to give up so easily.

"If that’s the case, let’s make the mistake work and start playing the role of an outstanding student from now on."

The interstellar university had a benefit. Li Aozi remembered that most students at this educational institution didn’t get involved in military or political departments. Most of them were international students recruited by Baizhu Star from subordinate and allied civilizations. By comparison, he wouldn’t be under much surveillance, which suited him well to grow his Aid Study Society organization.

Li Aozi’s enrollment procedures had already been handled. As a top student, the school gave him quite a bit of priority and issued him a residence permit, allowing him to move around and use public facilities in the Trevela region.

The school valued Leo highly and specially convened a committee of people to discuss how to nurture him. Once they had arranged his household registration, college, and tutor, he could start classes next week.

He had six days before then to move around freely, tour the school, and get acquainted with people.

He opened his information crystal and found his messaging inbox overflowing with messages. Media outlets had somehow acquired his contact details, and there were also messages from folks back in Blue Chrysanthemum Village, who had changed their previous bias against ’Leo,’ now congratulating and envying him.

Li Aozi didn’t continue to entertain these people. Instead, he contacted the Cadfy group of the Aid Study Society, and after a warm check-in with them, his down-to-earth attitude and remembrance of his companions, coupled with Li Aozi’s overwhelming [Charm], quickly won everyone’s favor.

When Li Aozi mentioned how much the Aid Study Society had helped him, everyone expressed that once they attended university, they would share the format of the society and even organize cross-school exams.

After wishing them luck on their exams, Li Aozi arranged some matters for his own enrollment and then fell silent.

Sitting on the bed in his comfortable and spacious single dormitory, he felt somewhat lost.

This couldn’t be counted as simply good luck; it was more like striking it rich, and Li Aozi even felt like he might get hit by a car if he went outside now.

"All of this is just too fantastical, but then again, considering this is a magic civilization, it’s not that strange," he thought.

He rubbed his head and started thinking about how to deal with the school’s issues.

’Leo’s’ physical condition wasn’t that great and in order not to expose himself, Li Aozi had to find a way to improve a Spellcaster’s talents.

Considering his experience and funds were also running low, it was time to think of ways to expand his resources.

"Although my situation is a bit strange, now that I have a Main Profession and the status of a citizen of an interstellar civilization—I can return to my origin."

Li Aozi acted immediately, quickly leaving the school gates and using a teleportation array to depart the university.

The first thing he needed to solve was the issue of genetic damage to his original body.

Trevela was an extremely vast mega-city complex, with sixteen magical high schools sitting like fortresses across the city, each with its unique products.

Li Aozi made a round and easily bought a Magic Potion for treating injuries in a Magic Workshop. That’s one good thing about interstellar civilization; many prescription drugs are sold over the counter without regulation.

In addition, Li Aozi also spent money on magic materials, alchemy tools, and equipment, intending to upgrade his Biological Pool when he returned.

With his advancement to the Gamma Rank, his Lifestyle Profession as a craftsman was now eligible for advancement. It was time to upgrade his logistical production.

As the capital of Baizhu Star, Trevela had a very complete industrial chain. Li Aozi managed to get the items he needed within two hours.

After making the purchases, Li Aozi’s savings were nearly exhausted. Fortunately, as a university student at the Magic Academy, transportation was free. He immediately took a train and rushed back to Blue Chrysanthemum Village, renting a magic flying carpet. Before the moon had risen, Li Aozi had already returned to where he had hidden the biological pool.

Whether it was an illusion or the result of his awakened spiritual power, since waking up, Li Aozi felt his efficiency in dealing with matters had significantly improved.

Moreover, he could immediately see the underlying logic in many unexpected situations. His actions and changes were much faster than before.

Li Aozi removed the cover, dragged the biological pool out, and looking at his original body soaking in the potions and repair fluids, he immediately took out the magic potions he bought, twisted open the bottle, and poured them all into the pool in one go.

The magic potion took effect very quickly; one could say it was instant. The pale-green magic potion glowed faintly, and then the entire pool was immediately enveloped in a thick magical aura.

The skin of the body soaking in the potion gradually became crystalline and the potion was rapidly absorbed into the body at a visible speed. With the help of the biological pool, targeted repairs were underway, and soon a progress bar appeared in front of Li Aozi:

[Genetic repair in progress — Current progress: 30.7%]

The effect of the magic potion was indeed good, with the progress steadily increasing. Li Aozi didn’t waste time standing by and took the opportunity to start upgrading the biological pool.

First, he enchanted all the mechanical components and computer devices to improve their efficiency and the nurturing effect of the biological pool. Li Aozi didn’t understand programming, but he could use physical means to directly replace the materials of the machinery. Even if the programming wasn’t optimized, there were still improvements in cooling and computational speed.

The repair of his original body quickly reached 100%, but Li Aozi didn’t choose to switch implant gears just yet.

"Since I’m here, I might as well do a fusion, to save trouble."

Six days would be enough for him to visit the Obliteration Sanctum and, by the way, to complete his class change task.

As a Guide for the Mutants’ pathway of Azure Star, Li Aozi was quite curious about his original body’s advanced occupation – the Star Realm Echoer.

Typical Echoers, after changing their class, would have a natural period of weakness. During this time, players would have to take on secondary professions to prevent themselves from being suppressed by other occupations of the same stage.

However, the consequence of this is that Echoers would seem particularly lagged and slow in their personal advancement, often still struggling at the Gamma or even Epsilon stage while others had already reached Delta Rank.

Li Aozi was curious about how the Pathway Occupation of a Star Realm Echoer would differ from ordinary Echoers.

At the moment, Li Aozi’s choice to directly merge two implant gears wasn’t due to a lack of desire to stay on Baizhu Star. Rather, he thought of two benefits he still had.

The first point was that since the genes of his original body and the Magician’s split body were the same and their citizen certificates were shared,

his plans had already been disrupted by getting into a top institution. So, he decided to make preparations and visit a Narrative-Level Civilization.

Nationality is not such a fickle matter. When big issues arise, I’ll slip away.

Secondly, Li Aozi had already acquired the Magician occupation, and his body already possessed the genes of a Spellcaster. With this in mind, he could choose a species direction for Spellcasters.

A1, B2, C3 were just the larger alien species categories in the cosmos, and there were also many interesting species.

In addition to the Cosmic Human Race, there are many nice species to choose from, and one shouldn’t be too narrow in their selection. In addition to humans, the universe is inhabited by insects, beastmen, elves, dehydration people, energy bodies, silicon-based life forms, Furui, and so on.

The Dragon Race is also a very good bloodline. Like the Golden Dragon Monk that Li Aozi had seen before, capable of holding his own in a three-to-one fight at the same level, and even capable of buffing his teammates on the side.

In the lineage of dragons, aside from the ’Radiant Dragon’ who serves as the king, the Golden Dragon is already at the pinnacle of bloodline hierarchy.

But Li Aozi wasn’t too keen on choosing the Dragon Race bloodline – he had previously been influenced by the high-ranking Dragon Race member, Glina Swirl, and did not intend to get too involved with her.

Dragons are often fickle, capricious, and selfish by nature, with nobles like Golden and Silver Dragons being exceptions.

Mutants are also typical Spellcaster units. Besides the Dragon Race, there are many options to choose from.

For example, the main species of the Obliteration Sanctum – the Noksspirit race, or the main species of the Empire of Heralds, the Kandela race.

These are all very suitable for Spellcasters.

The reason Li Aozi needed to choose a suitable species was also due to another factor.

Upon merging, his original body and Magician identity would directly transform into Beta Rank, which is somewhat of a loss.

He had recalled that during the Echoer’s class change task period, one could obtain a Class Promotion Voucher.

This meant that after his class change to Echoer, he could forcibly advance to Gamma Rank despite the adverse effects.

And if he was lucky, during the class change task period, he could directly advance to the Epsilon Stage.

Reaching the Epsilon Stage would grant Li Aozi a chance for a bloodline species upgrade, and within a year, advancing steadily towards the Delta Rank would be no issue.

The overall plan and strategy were sound, but there was one thing: it was all based on player thinking.
