Chapter 109: I'm Still Very Restrained (Extra Update 13/65)
Jonathan nodded, feeling both emotional and envious, and said, "That's right. But the main thing is that although Lord Kael clearly wasn't a traditional Mage who focuses on studying Magic Models and constructing a Magic Base, he also dabbled in Magician and Scroll Scholar professions.
Though he could be considered a Spellcaster, being able to master so many Spells... According to Lord Luxius, it's all due to his innate talent, which is indeed rare."
"Can non-Mages learn Spells independently?" Nasilia was somewhat surprised. If that were the case, why would there be occupational classifications?
Jonathan glanced at Nasilia, shaking his head and said, "In reality, most professionals possess some degree of spell-casting ability, but they mainly rely on their respective occupational traits to exhibit spell effects; the number of Magic Positions they can learn is limited.
Even for Magicians, who lean more towards being Spellcasters compared to other professions, the number of Spells they can master is usually limited. Magic Models are intricate and hard to learn. Without the targeted transformation inherent in the occupational core, it's not as easy to carry a Spell as you might think."
The Guarantor raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding the differences therein.
So every profession has distinct capacities for bearing Spells based on their occupational core? Does each profession have a limit to their spell slots?
Xiao You casually pointed out the core issue: "Is it because human energy is limited?"
Jonathan smiled and placed a stick wrapped in black oil into the campfire. Not long after, the stick began to burn.
He picked up the stick, walked to the tent entrance, inserted it into the ground, then turned back and sat down, saying, "If you read a book, can you always remember it?"
Nasilia shook her head and said, "Of course not."
The firelight flickered in Jonathan's eyes as he recalled the young Lord he had sworn loyalty to and said in a reasonably gentle voice,
"A Magic Model is like a book. Even the simplest trick contains a vast array of operational nodes and power circulation methods, which seem immense to ordinary people.
It is intricate but also dry and flavorless. If you can't master it well and deviation occurs, the Magic Model can become unstable—resulting in spell failure. That's why we revere Lord Kael."
Everyone seemed to grasp a bit of understanding. So this is the 'setting' for spell-casting in the Underworld?
Xiao You understood and laughed, saying, "Very few people can ensure the direct use of related Spells during battle. So, in practice, various professions load certain 'Spells' onto themselves through special means in advance.
Only in this way, at the crucial moments, can Spells be quickly applied, right?"
Jonathan nodded in affirmation. Though it seemed the divine nation of Chang Diya didn't utilize Divine Arts, the Undead were not fools; they quickly guessed the nature of the so-called "occupations" and laughed,
"You're absolutely right. That's why we say the types of Spells and number of Magic Positions each profession can master are different. The key lies in how many long-lasting Eternal Spell Models the specialized occupational core can maintain.
And the Mage's occupational core, by sacrificing other advantages, has specialized in the ability to maintain the maximum number of Eternal Spell Models. Meaning, Mages can 'remember' more Spells compared to other professions."
Nasilia was indifferent to such settings. She was more interested in Kael's unique traits: "Does Lord Kael have a special talent in this area?"
"It's hard to describe it as an exclusive talent. Lord Kael is... something very special, indescribable..." Jonathan thought for a moment, not knowing how to describe Kael.
After thinking for a long while, a flash of insight hit him, and he said, "It's like you Undead, Lord Kael never stopped absorbing spell knowledge. Coupled with the Scroll Scholar profession, which is somewhat peculiar.
When those two factors are combined, his spell-learning speed is almost as fast as yours—he basically masters and enhances them as soon as he gets started."
The players looked at each other in amazement.
They weren't merely mastering; they could use skill points and system enhancements to use skills normally.
And now you say that the little Incubus they coveted could directly master related Magic Skills without even using skill points, not requiring extensive learning like NPCs?
Brothers, there's a hack!
Everyone was shocked, feeling that tonight's forum content was already predetermined.
However, from a different perspective, the players almost universally accepted Kael as the protagonist of the current version, and having such talent seemed justified.
Then again, considering Kael's tragic backstory, his main character aura was almost bursting out of the game pod.
"Lao Cai, Lao Cai, what are you doing, why are you dozing off in the corner?"
Inadvertently glancing over to a corner of the tent, Xiao You discovered that Cai Ketongshen was hiding near a water urn in the camp tent, nodding off and faintly snoring.
Startled by Xiao You, he woke up in shock, then groggily said, "Sorry, I've been a bit tired lately."
"You're this tired even when playing a game? Why don't you log off and take a break?" Xiao You elbowed him. Although she didn't usually pay much attention to what this guy was doing, she had her own information channels.
She vaguely knew that Cai Ketongshen seemed to have been attending parties with top-tier Japanese female stars recently.
As for the type of parties, she had no clue and didn't want to know.
"One day, you'll exhaust yourself to death in bed!" Xiao You said, feeling speechless.
"Not to that extent, Xiao You. I'm still pretty restrained." Cai Ketongshen said, rubbing his head and smiling foolishly.
Xiao You knew that was just an act. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
Although Cai Ketongshen did like games and investing in clubs, it didn't mean he was the traditional "foolish rich kid."
At times, Xiao You even suspected that instead of genuinely "liking" something,
it was more that he perceived value in something, thus "liked" it.
Take, for example, his love for houses. He bought properties all over the country, saying it was so he could have a place to stay wherever he went.
Did he lose money? From what could be seen, he bought premium properties that, when sold, could even turn a profit.
Another example: he loved luxury cars and spent a fortune on them. Many said he was flaunting wealth, but if memory served Xiao You correctly, the cars he bought held their value well, with some even appreciating due to their collectible nature.
Treating Cai Ketongshen as an ignorant second-generation wealthy fool would lead to serious underestimation.
"Never mind. I can't be bothered with you; take care of your own body... Hmm? What's that sound?"
