Chapter 27: Wizard Level Progress
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
If the Enlightened Spellcaster that Zhao Xu had in his stats was publicized, then it would cause a surge in the number of players wanting to become wizards.
Just this process of copying spells had stumped most of the players. Otherwise, his classmates would have recommended he become a wizard in his previous life.
There was nothing in Arthur that the native characters had and the players couldn’t have. This was especially apparent after everyone on Earth transmigrated and they were put on the same playing field. One could do whatever the person next to him or her could.
Since Antonya was able to pass on this Enlightened Spellcaster ability to him, he was able to pass it to someone else, too.
This meant that Zhao Xu had the key to passing around a new battle strategy.
Zhao Xu found it hard to imagine that a native of Arthur would be so unbothered about a player like him.
Arthur was a place the people of Arthur had to protect. These players from Earth had no obligation to do that.
If this ability was given to another player who didn’t know anything about the future transmigration, they might sell it off for a few hundred or a thousand bucks.
“Mentor, why do you trust me so much?” asked Zhao Xu slowly.
“No particular reason.”
1
Zhao Xu was a little taken aback by her response.
“Just kidding. Your ability isn’t complete, so there’s no way you can pass it to others.” Antonya smiled brightly.
1
Zhao Xu suddenly realized that this was what Antonya meant when she said he hadn’t fully grasped this ability.
But in one year, he would be able to truly grasp it because of the transmigration, and he would become a hidden danger.
“Actually, you don’t need to worry so much. There are plenty of other things that disrupt the balance,” said Antonya as she looked at him and raised one of the arms hidden by her wizard robe to point towards Zhao Xu.
She wasn’t like other wizards at all-she had no incantations and no gestures.
She was just pointing at him to cast a spell.
A golden beam of light flashed immediately.
Zhao Xu didn’t even have time to duck. When the light passed, he noticed something new on his desk.
There were more than 10,000 gold pieces stacked up neatly in front of Zhao Xu.
There was the faint imprint of the business and fortune goddess on each gold piece, which meant that these were real gold pieces.
“That spell was Wish, and here are 25,000 gold pieces,” said Antonya in a quiet voice.
5
In his previous life, Zhao Xu had never seen so many gold pieces at one time, so he held his breath in shock.
“That’s what it takes to really break the balance, understand?”
Zhao Xu looked up at Antonya. Casting Wish came with a price-it would reduce experience points, and if one used it too much, one would go down in level.
He hadn’t thought that Antonya would just create these gold pieces out of nowhere.
“You didn’t have to pay the price for doing this?” asked Zhao Xu in disbelief when he considered this possibility.
“Of course I didn’t. I wouldn’t risk dropping a level to cast Wish just to show off in front of a kid like you.”
“But that’s crazy,” Zhao Xu nearly exclaimed. So many people worked hard day and night but would still never earn the 225 kilograms of gold that was now sitting in front of his eyes.
This was a quarter of a ton, not four grams.
If this happened on Earth, it would be like a Level 9 spell creating a pile of gold worth eighty million dollars out of nowhere.
If she could continue casting this spell like that, without paying any price for it, then she could make the entire financial world collapse.
“Don’t think so much about it. There aren’t many wizards who can grasp this ability.” Antonya looked deeply into Zhao Xu’s eyes.
The gold pieces on the table were instantly cleared away into Antonya’s bag.

“I shouldn’t have told you all this so early, but I can see that you have a different destiny ahead of you, so I believe you can be trusted.”
1
Zhao Xu sat there quietly.
When these Legendary Wizards said they could see his destiny, they weren’t just saying it for fun. They could really see it.
Perhaps Antonya had already realized that Earthlings like Zhao Xu would eventually transmigrate into Arthur.
Zhao Xu knew that there was no use in asking for evidence. She had already told him everything she could.
No other player would be able to hear a prophecy as clear as this.
Zhao Xu lowered his head again. “Mentor, what do I learn next?”
After seeing what wizards would be capable of in the future, Zhao Xu’s heart was filled with nothing else but these amazing abilities.
“Hmm?” Antonya made a soft and slightly surprised sound.
“I suddenly have something to attend to, so I have to leave now. You can rest first. Come back tomorrow.”
With that, Antonya disappeared in a flash, as if she had never been there in the first place.
Zhao Xu didn’t expect her to leave just like that. He had no choice but to pick up the Compendium of Level 1 Spells from the side and look through the explanations on the spells written inside.
He had to choose a few Level 1 spells from here, and those would be his real battle abilities after he walked out of this floating city.
Since Antonya wasn’t around to watch him, nobody was able to provide him with an actual spell to copy, so he had to just look through the summaries and get a vague understanding of the spells.
After nearly two hours, all the lectures for the day would be over, so Zhao Xu had no choice but to log off and wait until the next day to tell Antonya which Level 1 Spells he wanted.
“Xu, what’s the matter? You’re actually not playing the game.”
After spending some time downstairs with his girlfriend, Zhang Qi returned to the dorms and was extremely surprised to see that Zhao Xu wasn’t logged in and was just reading quietly by himself.
2
“Just resting for a while.” Now that Zhao Xu was no longer worried that he couldn’t become a wizard, he started to spend some time doing other things.
“Xu, do you want to join our class union?” Zhang Qi quickly ran over to ask.
“You guys have enough to pay for the security deposit?” replied Zhao Xu in shock.
One didn’t need approval or anything like that to set up a union in Arthur. One just needed to leave a security deposit with the head of the town where the union would be started.
After that, one could get people to join and start receiving missions.
But few players could afford to come up with the security deposit.
“Wow, I didn’t expect your information to be so updated,” said Zhang Qi in surprise. “Of course we don’t have enough money. But players can set up a union in name only. We just can’t take on missions.”
“The union is set up by that Huang Daqiang. He’s doing it to catch the attention of pretty girls from our class,” explained Zhang Qi.
1
Huang Daqiang was considered one of the big shots in their class. He was quite well-to-do, and there were a number of students who were willing to do work for him.
Eventually, Huang Daqiang would do several things as chairman of this union that would anger his classmates so that they would lose faith in him and kick him out. After that, he would always go up against their class union.
1
In his previous life, Zhao Xu was also irritated by Huang Daqiang, and that was why he purposely started playing Arthur. He was waiting to help contribute to his class union once the union battles started.
“I can’t; I’m still stuck at the Magic Academy.”
Now that Zhao Xu had a new target, he wasn’t interested in making trouble for Huang Daqiang, so he refused Zhang Qi’s offer politely.
It was hard enough to stay alive, much less fight for pride. Besides, the class union was still headed by Huang Daqiang just then.
“Xu, you really should listen to me and switch character classes. Two-thirds of the wizards on the forums have given up on training and switched to something else already.
“Even our class genius, Li Tiange, purposely became a wizard because his goddess, Lulu, kept saying how hard it was to become a wizard. But in the end, he couldn’t copy any cantrips today and decided to give it up. None of our schoolmates who chose to be wizards have been successful in copying those cantrips.”
Zhao Xu was a little surprised to hear that some of these things happened when the game first started. Li Tiange was one of the top students in the school.
He had really underestimated how difficult it had been to become a wizard when the servers opened.
“So, Xu, what stage are you at now?”
