285: Chapter 285 Has He Finally Seen the Light?

Just as Nie Ning was considering whether to apologize, he suddenly felt a spiritual palpitation.

Immediately afterward, a projection appeared in front of Nie Ning.

Nie Ning looked closely, his face showing a look of astonishment; it was actually the first kid who had contacted him!

He didn't dislike this kind of perseverance.

But he was hiring Runology and Alchemy teachers, not recruiting a Wizard Apprentice; what use was perseverance?

If someone couldn't be admitted the first time, there usually wouldn't be a second chance.

It wasn't as if he could suddenly grow a brain after half a month, right?

"I went back and thought carefully about your question. I think there was a problem with the question itself. The Acceleration Runic Circuit and the Inverter Rune..."

Before Nie Ning could open his mouth to refuse, the young man on the other side started talking to himself.

Listening to the other party's arguments, Nie Ning actually had a sense of sudden enlightenment.

If it were truly feasible, he could use it to modify a Runic Formula to reach his most desired ideal state.

After the young man finished his non-stop explanation, Nie Ning couldn't help but take a few more looks at him.

Did he really have an epiphany?

One should see a person in a new light after a three-day absence, but this change was just too fast. Or was it that the erroneous theory he had proposed had interfered with the other party?

That didn't seem right either; it wasn't as if all of his theories were wrong.

Besides, even if it were a flawed question, he had used it to test the other party; wouldn't it have been enough to just point it out directly?

"Did you come up with these answers yourself?"

Nie Ning remained silent for a moment before slowly asking.

"Uh, of course. It took quite a bit of time."

The young man replied, seemingly a bit guilty.

Seeing this, Nie Ning understood the situation, but he didn't point out the other party's problem.

"You're quite good. I can hire you."

As Nie Ning spoke, a look of joy appeared on the young man's face.

However, Nie Ning changed the subject and continued, "But recently I need to modify a Runic Formula. Help me perfect it, and I will give you one high-grade magic crystal as a reward."

With a wave of his hand, a Runic Array constructed of multiple rings appeared before their eyes.

The first three layers of the array were basic Runic Formulas, lacking the most crucial Fusion Method, while the fourth layer was a complete Runic Circuit.

After all, his Brand Witchcraft was different from others; at least for now, he had no intention of making the fusion sorcery public.

This was also to prevent people from finding flaws and thinking of ways to target him.

Mainly, of course, it was because he didn't trust the other party.

One must know that even to this day, he had not fully mastered that Power of Annihilation.

The fusion sorcery was immensely powerful. If it were obtained by someone with ulterior motives, or if the secret of the Ten-Element Fusion were cracked, it would be a massive disaster.

...

Looking at Nie Ning's Runic Formula, the young man was suddenly a bit dumbfounded.

That had clearly exceeded the scope of what he had mastered.

Moreover, it already involved Energy Conversion Formulas, which were not things low-level wizards could master.

But thinking of the reward of one high-grade magic crystal, he finally gritted his teeth and took on Nie Ning's task.

For a wizard...

...

As the young man left, a meaningful smile appeared on Nie Ning's face.

"Help me contact Wizard Glock, whom we met last time. Let him serve as our Runology teacher."

Nie Ning said to Saya beside him.

Hearing this, Saya showed a look of astonishment: "Uh, didn't you say he lacked creativity? Why the sudden change of heart? And..."

Glock was one of the wizards Nie Ning had interviewed the day before yesterday. He had a very profound foundation in runes and a very good temper.

But Nie Ning had rejected him on the grounds that he lacked creativity and would only teach by the book.

Although he had put it somewhat tactfully this time and didn't make the man fume with rage, it wasn't much better.

"Tell Wizard Glock that I'm willing to pay a salary of 1 high-grade magic crystal per month. He only needs to teach Runology for an hour and a half a day, with weekends off and bonus rewards on holidays."

Nie Ning shrugged and said with an indifferent face.

Isn't it just money? Is there anything money can't solve?

If there is, it just proves the amount isn't high enough!

If he were to take out his xueyan bladeless and Stairway to Godhood, he feared even Ninth-Rank Professionals would come over to shine his shoes!

Of course, the premise was that his own strength was great enough, or that he had an even stronger backer.

"Alright, I'll send a message to Wizard Glock right away."

Saya was filled with emotion.

Money really is a good thing. She wondered when she would be able to treat wealth like dirt like Nie Ning did.

Little did she know that Nie Ning wasn't spending his own money, so of course he didn't feel the sting.

In fact, for so long, besides being quite destitute at the beginning, his days had gotten better and better as his strength grew, and people would occasionally deliver money to his door.

However, at his rate of spending, he probably wouldn't last six months.

...

Money really is very useful!

Under Nie Ning's monetary offensive, Glock, as a Fourth-Order Wizard, agreed almost without much consideration.

And all Glock had to do was teach the three of them some wizardly knowledge that wasn't overly profound.

As for why there were three of them, it was because Xiao Guang had also entered the Transcendent World.

To avoid raising suspicion, Xiao Guang had turned into a 'person' with a human body and a fox head.

For such a clever Fourth-Rank Magical Beast, Xiao Guang quickly adapted to walking on two legs, which could be considered early preparation for human transformation.

There was a huge difference between having a teacher and not having one.

With a Runology teacher, Nie Ning's store of Runology knowledge grew rapidly.

Many problems he couldn't figure out before seemed to become less difficult than they were.

Coupled with Nie Ning's own baptism by the World Tree Leaf Remnant, his understanding and receptivity to Runology knowledge were extremely high, making learning incredibly easy.

Xiao Guang was no slouch either.

After a slow start, his learning speed became faster and faster as his knowledge continued to accumulate.

However, because the time spent learning Runology was too short, it would still take some effort to use it freely.

As for Saya, she was a notch below.

Her age and strength were considered good among her peers, but she ultimately couldn't compare with those at the very top; otherwise, she wouldn't still be just a First-Ring Wizard.

It could only be said that she was better than some but worse than others, and she still needed to work harder.

Besides studying runes, Nie Ning was researching Brand Witchcraft.

It was much harder than imagined.

For some reason, when the Runic Formula was forming, there were always signs of collapse.

Nie Ning had asked Glock for help, but Glock believed that stability should be the priority and had simplified the Runic Formula.

But this was not the result Nie Ning wanted.

Now he was no longer satisfied with using fusion sorcery only as a trump card.

He was mainly inspired by xueyan bladeless.

xueyan bladeless was very special, not just in terms of enhancing spell power, but it also had an even more unique function.
