In fact, in Richard's eyes, the world around him is already a digital world. After the initial confusion, Richard has now begun to learn how to use the numbers. For example, with real talent, Richard can accurately perceive the total amount of mana possessed by an ordinary first-level magician, so he defines these mana as 10, and as a reference, his current mana is equal to 8. But he did not yet know the significance of his endless effort.This is the beginning of the digitization of magical systems.

Fireball requires 15 mana, while Level 3 requires around 20 mana. Richard now knew that requiring less magic, doing more damage, and being simple to cast were the keys to Fireball's ability to stand out from the rest of the lower-order magic.

However, it is inevitable that a small amount of mana will be lost and wasted in the process of casting magic, and it is impossible for a mage to use up all of his mana at once, which will cause serious damage to the body. So Richard instinctively sensed that there was actually a lot of room for improvement in the standard fireball technique.

After several nights of sleepless research, Richard discovered that after several improvements, the mana cost of Fireball could actually be reduced to 8, if the entire casting process was perfect, and the three-second cast time was not omitted at all. Reducing the mana cost will also reduce the power of the fireball technique, but when the mana cost drops to 8, the power of the original 15 energy levels will only be reduced to 10 energy levels, which is obviously superior in terms of the magic lethality added to the unit mana. Moreover, FIREball is still overwhelming compared to the POWER OF up to 5 energy levels of other first-level spells.

Curiosity is the devil, and Richard began experimenting with fireballs the second night, and succeeded the first time. Looking at the fireball, which was obviously smaller than the normal fireball and much brighter red in color, slowly flying towards the steel puppet twenty-five meters away, Richard was so nervous that his heart almost stopped!

The fireball exploded, and the flames sputtered in a ring, and even Richard felt a burst of hot air rushing towards him. Under the double blow of Gao Man and the explosion, the steel puppets directly hit by the fireball were all slightly deformed, and there were still some magical flames on them. This steel figure is made with reference to the defensive power of the half-body plate armor, and also serves as a test of magical power. It is conceivable that if a warrior in half-body plate armor was standing there, then this fireball must have killed him.

It worked!!

This was the first level of magic that little Richard had unleashed in his life, and his great joy instantly overwhelmed him. He wanted to jump and cheer, but his legs went limp, and he slowly fell down against the wall. His body was empty for a moment, as if every part of it was no longer under his command, and he couldn't even lift a finger.

As the price of his successful spell casting, Richard spent the rest of his night on the cold floor. At the same time as completing the first real magic in his life, little Richard also experienced the taste of magic completely drained for the first time. Richard, who had exhausted all his magic power, didn't even have the possibility of meditating, so he could only quietly wait for the passive recovery of his magic power.

Just lie down for three hours and six minutes, and the magic will recover automatically 1. The talent of "precision" again gives the precise answer based on the speed of the magic recovery. Then Richard will be able to stand up and begin to meditate.

After waiting for his magic and stamina to recover for more than three hours, Richard was bored and simply began to think carefully about the magic knowledge he had learned. He found that higher mental power could indeed reduce the amount of mana consumed by the same magic. This is because the higher the mental power, the more nuanced the manipulation of mana, which can improve a magic in many ways. Those super magic skills require a certain amount of mental power to use.

For example, in the Fireball Technique, Richard felt that there were still a lot of things that could be improved in the spell casting process just now, at least ...... 16 places. 4 of them save mana, 3 increase power, and so on. After weighing up, Richard chose to consider the part that would save mana consumption first. Then there are the long and tedious calculations. That's when Richard discovered the importance of mathematics. After more than half an hour of calculations, Richard finally managed to find a point of improvement, and now the mana cost of the fireball spell he sent out had been reduced to 7, but the power had not decreased accordingly.

This meant that he was able to stand and even trot a few steps after sending out the fireball, instead of being limp like he is now. The 'precision' talent also brings the benefit of being able to accurately grasp his various conditions, and even digitize his mental power as long as he finds enough reference standards.

For the first time, little Richard's heart was filled with joy, and he couldn't wait to regain his full mana and try to see if his fireball improvements were successful. The joy of exploration and discovery was so great that it was simply the first ray of sunshine that little Richard, who had always been surrounded by gloom. For the first time, Richard Jr. discovered that the world of magic was so magically complex and so vast that he could not explore a corner of it in his lifetime.

The mana slowly built up, finally reaching 1, and Richard struggled into the meditation room, drank a bottle of mana recovery potion, and began to meditate. A few hours passed, and just as the mana was about to be replenished, Richard rushed out of the meditation room and fired another fireball at the broken steel doll.

As the fireball formed between his hands, the magic in Richard's body quickly decreased, and it was sucked out in the blink of an eye. The fireball trembled, flickering and extinguishing, but finally left Richard's hands and flew towards the steel doll. The experiment was successful again, and the improvement method Richard found was effective, but the over-excitement caused a small flaw in the casting process, which increased the mana cost a little. So when the fireball was fired, Richard collapsed again. Fortunately, that bottle of mana recovery potion is long-lasting, and can speed up mana recovery in a day's time, so now Richard only needs to sit on the ground for an hour.

The hour was spent in constant calculations. By the time he stood up, it was already dawning.

Today's lesson was magic math, and for the first time Richard listened so carefully that he really saw beauty in the countless boring numbers. Richard was not a p*****t like Foggia, nor was he paranoid, but he realized the role of mathematics. And he lives in a digital world.

Throughout the day's lessons, little Richard's brain was always running at high speed, completely tireless. The content of the course is not difficult to understand, but seeing the other students in a dazed or pondering state does not seem to be as simple as Richard felt. It seems that the wisdom bestowed by the moon god Elothea is still working.

This day is end of the month, and when Richard returned to his area, the blue girl magic apprentice who had taken him on a tour of the deep blue was already waiting for him at the door. Seeing Richard, she greeted her, smiled sweetly and handed a pale silver metal badge to Richard, saying that this is Richard's income and expenditure this month, which can be checked on the alchemy table in the laboratory, or it can be stimulated with magic power, and the contents can be seen.

The girl's appearance is very sweet, and her demeanor is also charming. Just standing there quietly, you will naturally reveal a feminine temperament. Richard took the badge, looked at her, said thank you, and walked through the area gate on his own.

Seeing the two thick doors shining with metallic luster slowly close in front of her, the girl stomped her foot fiercely in anger. She had the urge to blast open those two gates with magic, but she knew that the gates made of demon-proof metal were still protected by magic arrays, not to mention that with her second-level acid arrows, even a sixth-level dissociation technique would not be able to penetrate this gate. These two metal doors alone are worth a lot of money, not to mention the area behind them. Even if it's just an empty space inside, at the price of every inch of land in the dark blue, the empty land is worth a fortune.

"You guy, we've all met twice, why don't you even ask my name?" The girl muttered angrily to herself. She then remembered that according to the data, Richard seemed to be just ten years old, an age too old for the beginning of a magical career, but too young for a man. So she could only shake her head helplessly and Walk away angry. But what can be done, if Richard really has the ability of a man, it will be too late to start at that time, and it is impossible to get her turn.

In the deep blue, competition is everywhere.
