Lin Qiye's heart was in his throat as he nervously stared at the spinning wheel in front of him.
The spinning wheel slowed down, and the pointer swept across the areas, finally stopping on a few small characters under Lin Qiye's gaze.
Mastery of Summoning Magic!
Summoning magic?
Lin Qiye froze on the spot when he saw these words. The shocking scene of summoning a giant ice dragon with a wave of the hand in the movie flashed through his mind, and his blood pressure immediately rose.
Compared to the [Mortal God Realm], which can only be perceived spiritually, and the [Darkest Erosion], which can only cover the body, this seems to have a much stronger visual impact...
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand, and the few small characters turned into white light and flew into his body.
"Summoning Magic Mastery:
Gain all of the mage Merlin's knowledge of summoning magic, transform yourself into a body with a super affinity for 'summoning magic', reduce spell casting time by 50%, reduce the materials required for spell casting by 50%, reduce the mental energy required for spell casting by 50%, and reduce the difficulty of spell casting by 50%."
The moment Lin Qiye saw these small words, he felt countless pieces of knowledge flooding into his mind. At the same time, the white light was rapidly transforming his body. It seemed like nothing had changed, but it also seemed different from before.
Half a minute later, Lin Qiye came to his senses, rubbed his throbbing temples, and muttered to himself:
"Summoning magic... So this is summoning magic...?"
In his mind, summoning magic was roughly divided into three categories: "dimensional summoning magic", "designated summoning magic", and "random summoning magic".
So-called dimensional summoning magic involves sacrificing a large number of valuable offerings to send one's soul to another dimension, where a contract is made with certain beings. Upon returning to the real world, one can summon them by activating a magic circle.
Specified Summoning Magic is the ability to summon a certain entity in another location after having come into contact with them in the real world and obtaining their consent. This applies to things like humans, items, etc. However, summoning a human consumes a large amount of Mental Energy, and if the distance is too great, the summoning cannot be performed. Therefore, it is more suitable for summoning existing items.
As the name suggests, random summoning magic means that no one knows what you will summon. The medium for casting the spell is also very simple: a pebble, a piece of wood, or a coin will all work. You might summon an ice dragon with a leaf, or you might sacrifice an artifact to summon a hen...
After carefully sensing the entire system of summoning magic, Lin Qiye sighed softly.
Of the three summoning methods, only the first two are the most reliable, but the latter has many limitations, while the former requires a large number of valuable sacrifices to travel to another dimension...
What constitutes a valuable offering? What constitutes a large quantity?
I have no idea!
Perhaps... the corpses of mythical creatures can be used as sacrifices?
Lin Qiye shook his head, calmed himself down, and withdrew his consciousness from the mental hospital, returning to the real world.
The moon and stars are sparse.
Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes on the bed, glanced at Baili Pangpang who was sleeping like a dead pig on the next bed, hesitated for a moment, and then sat up.
Regardless, magic is magic after all, and for a child like Lin Qiye who grew up in the city, those two words always seemed to have a special charm.
Since we already know magic, why not give it a try?
He quietly got out of bed, picked up one of his slippers... After a moment's hesitation, he put the slipper back and picked up Baili Pangpang's slipper instead.
Since dimensional summoning and designated summoning are both unusable, we can only try random summoning now. However, although random summoning is random, very few of the summoned items are powerful; they are usually useless junk.
Although there is indeed a probability of less than 0.0000001% of summoning a dragon or demon, Lin Qiye never thought that such an absurd thing would happen to him.
Lin Qiye placed the slippers on the table, dipped his fingers in water, and began to draw a magic circle around the slippers.
Random summoning is like that; it's as simple as child's play. It doesn't require materials or precision; it's just a matter of fate.
About four or five seconds later, Lin Qiye finished drawing the magic circle and poured his mental energy into it. A faint blue light appeared around the watermarks on the slippers...
Whoosh—!
The slipper in the center of the magic circle suddenly disappeared, as if it had never been there at all.
Lin Qiye stared intently at the magic circle, but after a long while, nothing appeared; it remained completely empty…
Um?
Wasn't it supposed to be a random summon? Where is what I summoned?
Just as Lin Qiye was wondering, a slightly familiar voice appeared in his ears...
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz...
"Mos... mosquito?" Lin Qiye's Mental Energy swept over, and he indeed found a mosquito in mid-air, completely dumbfounded.
It's only May, which shouldn't be mosquito season yet, but under Lin Qiye's "powerful" summoning magic, it appeared...
The mosquito flew halfway through the air and landed on Baili Pangpang's sleeping thigh, giving him a big suck!
Baili Pangpang grunted twice, scratched his leg, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Lin Qiye stroked his chin.
This magic...
That's interesting...
So, he quietly reached out his wicked little hand and continued to grope around Baili Pangpang...
The next morning, Baili Pangpang woke up leisurely.
He stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, then suddenly felt an itch in his hands and feet. He looked down...
"Holy crap! So many bites? Are there mosquitoes?!"
He looked at the more than twenty bites on his hands and feet combined, exclaimed in shock, and then turned to look at Lin Qiye,
"Qiye, there are mosquitoes in this room, and I reckon there's more than one. Did you get bitten?"
Lin Qiye honestly shook his head, "No."
"That's strange..." Baili Pangpang scratched his head, got up to get out of bed, then paused, "Huh? Where are my slippers?"He looked around, his small eyes filled with great confusion. "Strange, both slippers are gone... Could they be under the bed?"
Upon hearing the words "under the bed," Lin Qiye's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Baili Pangpang bent down and looked under the bed, then froze on the spot.
After a long while, he reached under the bed in disbelief and pulled out a large pile of things...
"An ear pick, tree bark, a light bulb, a limited edition Zenitsu Gasai figure, a box of fried rice, and... stockings?!"
Baili Pangpang stared blankly at the black silk in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and slowly raised his head to look at Lin Qiye...
"Qiye, these..."
"I don't know, but it's definitely not mine." Lin Qiye shook his head firmly. "How could I possibly have stockings?"
"But..."
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "This might belong to Cao Yuan."
