1: Chapter 1 Entrance Ceremony

(This is a self-written web novel, so readers who mind amateur writing should proceed with caution. This novel was written in a typing software called Across the Sea and will be pasted to Tomato after updating, so there may be concentrated updates. The golden finger style depends on the protagonist's realm and environment, similar to stealing and copying world rules, then generating various cards and accumulating power through daily card draws. It is not an invincible style right from the start, so if you don't like it, please proceed with caution! Dear readers, just think of it as reading for fun and relaxation ~ * ~ * ~.)

The admission ceremony of the Elius Wizard Academy was about to begin.

Ross's figure was mixed among some strange species, holding the accumulated magic stones in his hands, his nervous fingers trembling slightly.

This was a magical world.

The great wizards started from the primitive wizard civilization and embarked on the starry sea journey of barbaric invasion.

Now it had developed into a wizard civilization spanning the multiverse.

The wizard civilization had its own exclusive foundation, occupying the source power of countless worlds.

Therefore, including the human race, the wizard civilization attracted the joining of many races.

The world where Ross was located was originally a mana-less world, which happened to be discovered by a passing star wizard.

Thus, the world he was in was integrated into the greater Wizard World.

Ross was originally all alone and an orphan.

After the world integration, they were scattered in various parts of the world by the great wizards, and there was no contact between each other at all.

At the age of twenty-something, Ross had already prepared himself to be an ordinary, mediocre adult, and then spend his life in mediocrity.

As a result, he suddenly came to such a magical world.

Coming to such an unfamiliar Wizard World was naturally very dangerous.

Fortunately, within the wizard civilization, peaceful coexistence was required among various races.

Furthermore, it was forbidden to arbitrarily enslave intelligent creatures with spiritual intelligence within the Wizard World.

Especially like Ross, who joined after his original world was integrated by the lord star wizard.

On his forehead, there was even a mark bestowed by the wizard lord, which counted as a protective mark.

As long as one still had sanity, they would not do things that angered the wizard behind him.

For survival, Ross worked part-time in a restaurant opened by a goblin and accumulated some magic stones in a year.

Only then did he have the opportunity to participate in the admission ceremony of the Elius Wizard Academy.

Even though the wizard civilization spanned the multiverse and possessed countless resources to give to the races within the world.

But wizards also believed in equivalent exchange.

Even without corresponding magical aptitude, one could still survive very well in the greater Wizard World.

It was just that compared to those with a wizard identity, these people were destined to live ordinary lives.

Originally as a member of the mana-less world, Ross naturally had infinite yearning for the power of wizards.

He only suffered from having no magic stones and couldn't even afford the entry test ceremony.

For a year, Ross worked part-time in the goblin restaurant and baked bread for a year.

In exchange for a reward of 12 magic stones, 10 magic stones were enough as the test fee.

...

Elius Wizard Academy was a primary wizard academy built along the Elius River.

Ross learned from the bustling news in the goblin restaurant that wanting to enter the wizard academy, besides handing over the magic stones for the test,

one also needed to have Wizard Aptitude.

Although creatures born in the greater Wizard World basically more or less had some talent or Wizard Aptitude.

But it did not mean that all creatures had aptitude and reached the threshold.

There were also quite a few with low talent who had no hope of stepping into the wizard's door.

The wizard academy would not refuse them from entering the academy to study.

But people lacking aptitude couldn't stay long anyway.

When they gradually felt desperate, they would return to ordinary lives.

The goblin boss was just at the level of a Level 3 apprentice.

This power was even inferior to its own bloodline power.

So it opened a restaurant and lived a savory mortal life.

Ross took the magic stones and handed them over to the registration office of the Elius Wizard Academy.

Ross was led by a Wizard Apprentice to the testing square for the test.

The square was crowded with people wanting to join the academy, mostly humans, mixed with goblins, half-elves, and other races.

After Ross walked into the square, he could see that although many people in the square were suppressing their voices, the discussion was still slightly noisy.

What they discussed was nothing more than whether they had Wizard Aptitude, and they had yearnings and worries for the future.

When most people had arrived,

an Official Wizard wearing a standard pitch-black wizard robe and holding a test crystal arrived.

"Ahem, everyone pay attention and be quiet."

"Next, I will host the aptitude test."

"When I activate the crystal to emit the test light, those whose bodies do not emit light can leave directly."

"Those with a reaction stay for further subsequent testing."

When the crystal ball held by this wizard began to emit light enveloping the square, this space suddenly became very dark.

In this situation, whether one had Wizard Aptitude was very clear.

Those whose bodies did not emit light, although somewhat unwilling, had to leave under the majesty of the wizard lord.

Ross was very glad that his body was emitting light at this moment, which meant that he had Wizard Aptitude and at least had the choice of the path to pursue power.

"Ahem, the rest are those with Wizard Aptitude!"

"Congratulations, your aptitude can at least step into the threshold of a Wizard Apprentice."

"Compared to nine-tenths of the living beings within the Wizard World, you are lucky."

"Next, we will test your induction ability for elements and bloodline purity."

"Element induction, you must understand it as well. That is to see your affinity for basic elements."

"Bloodline purity is to test whether you possess rare bloodlines and whether you are members of hostile civilizations lurking in the Wizard World."

"Hehe, in the early years there were still some reckless existences attempting to make waves in the wizard civilization."

"Nowadays, there are very few such foolish existences, but the rules concerning the safety of the Wizard World cannot change."

"Next, the Wizard Apprentices will test you."

After listening to the Official Wizard's explanation, Ross walked towards the direction where a Wizard Apprentice was located.

"Place your hand on the crystal ball."

"Concentrate your mind and feel the elemental fluctuations."

This Wizard Apprentice said.

Just as Ross was concentrating.

Ding.

Ross found a virtual card-drawing pool appearing in his vision.

In the card-drawing pool, there were many phantom images of cards, but they were very blurry, and Ross couldn't see the specific contents clearly.

It was the function of displaying his own basic data, which was very practical.

[Race]: Human

[Occupation]: None

[Level]: None

[Specialty]: None

[Talent]: 〖Wizard Aptitude〗 Wizards explore the unknown and pursue the truth, and you obviously have the talent to step onto this path.

〖Card Aptitude〗 Cards, some call them technological creations, and some call them the crystallization of magic. And you clearly possess a unique talent in this aspect.

[Tier]: Tier 0. You are just an insignificant mortal among all living beings, only happening to touch the very edge of the extraordinary.

Ross found that he could draw a card from the card pool every day.

Ross's thought moved, and then the card pool spat out a card that landed in his hand.

[Talent Card: Void Element Body]: There are various elements in the Wizard World, among which some intelligent creatures with Wizard Aptitude can embark on the path of wizards. Talents have strong and weak points; if one has a constitution with element affinity, it will be much easier to step into the wizard path.

"Use Card"

[Talent: Void Body. Affinity for the corresponding void elements is raised to the limit]

The void elements were very friendly to him, squeezing out other types of elemental particles.

Ross felt that this particle gave a profound and mysterious feeling.

The kind of particles that could be sensed were actually not many in the world, yet they firmly squeezed other particles out.

After measuring Ross's element affinity, the apprentice smiled and said.

"You must know that the four major basic element affinities are the most common."

"Earth, fire, water, and wind are the most common basic elements constituting quite a few worlds."

"As well as special elements formed by the mixing ratios of the four major elements."

"Even rarer are rare elements such as light-darkness, space, and time."

"Those who possess these element affinities and to a relatively high degree,"

"generally have a smooth and relatively smooth journey before stepping into the threshold of an Official Wizard."

"According to your description, your element affinity belongs to the category of spatial elements, or you can say it belongs to special void elements."
