New Magic System and Old Magic System

Du Pont pulled out the few remaining Silver from his pouch. These shimmering little coins, imprinted with a triangular mage's hat, radiated a captivating glow in the sunset's afterglow. The melodious clinking as they occasionally bumped together didn't rouse him from his reverie; only the Dove Messenger in the flower pot cocked its head, as if to ascertain whether its master had fallen asleep.

After a long while, Du Pont sighed.

There are many ways to make money, but without a certain amount of capital, you're basically relying on your own abilities.

Starting from scratch is quite difficult. Even swindling and deception require a certain amount of knowledge and reconnaissance. For him, having just arrived in this world a day ago, it was almost impossible.

Watching the enchanting night, Du Pont lit the oil lamp on the bed frame. The burning wick emitted a wisp of silvery-white smoke, and the unique incense made him squint.

Soothing Lamp Oil: Lamp oil infused with special herbs, with the effect of calming the nerves and aiding sleep, one Gold Coins per pound.

It seems his previous sleep quality wasn't very good, actually willing to spend so much money to buy this kind of thing.

Summoning Mage Hand, he snuffed out the wick, and Du Pont closed his eyes.

Practice in the training ground without scrolls. He wasn't too sleepy yet, so he'd better practice more first.

As long as he could succeed every time, he would only consume 400 experience points per month on transcribing scrolls. The 1000 experience points lost each month could be ignored, and he could still gather the required experience points in two months by studying alone.

This was a major boon for him, and the most reliable thing to do at the moment.

If he couldn't increase income, he'd better focus on cutting expenses.

"Coo-coo, coo-coo!"

The noisy bird calls made Du Pont open his eyes in annoyance, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw it was only six o'clock on the clock.

Dove Messenger: A not-so-clever avian messenger. Its intellectual deficiencies make it very cheap, but its memory is actually quite good. With training, it can also provide a free early morning wake-up call function.

He had gone to sleep close to 11 o'clock last night, so he definitely hadn't slept for eight hours.

"I'd better teach it not to call..."

Just as he was about to go back to sleep, the System's notification made Du Pont lose all sleepiness.

The user has 29 days, 5 hours, and 29 minutes left to repay the loan. Please find a way to raise the principal as soon as possible.

Your body is still in a weakened state, but the condition has slightly improved.

After a quick wash, Du Pont tried to use Dust Removal Spell according to his memory.

This spell was very convenient. It could remove dust and easily cleaned dirt from the body, and it could also be used to clean the house.

Perhaps this was why even the cafeteria was so bright and clean?

"DepulsionisPulverum!"

The incantation for Dust Removal Spell had far more syllables than Mage Armor, but as he pondered, Du Pont felt exceptionally smooth, and even the casting only required three simple gestures. A chill spread across his skin.

A faint but forceful breeze appeared out of thin air. This wind carried away the dust on his skin and unremoved earwax and other debris. After a few seconds, all the dust was gathered in a small sphere, and all the filth disappeared as the sphere vanished.

Du Pont clicked his tongue in wonder after seeing this. This was truly a first choice for lazy people, much better than a robot vacuum cleaner.

Magic changes life.

Trying again, cleaning the house also only required one Dust Removal Spell, but as the cleaning area expanded, the waiting time also increased. And to clean all locations, he still needed his direction; otherwise, this trick couldn't solve some corners or larger debris.

When Dust Removal Spell is needed to clean a larger area, it is necessary to maintain spell concentration.

Hearing this, Du Pont was thoughtful.

Mage concentration was a common casting technique in the new era of magic systems. By maintaining spell concentration, some spells that originally lasted for minutes could last for an hour or even longer, greatly benefiting low-level casters and once called disruptive significance.

However, the downside was that it was no longer possible to easily add a dozen BUFF spells like mages of the old era.

But this wasn't a problem for novices like him. He only had four first-circle spell slots, so maintaining concentration was more cost-effective.

From this perspective, the old and new system spells could be said to have mutual advantages and disadvantages.

For those High-level Mage, the old system was more powerful because they had enough spell slots and wealth to have more buff spells on their bodies, but for low-level mages and apprentices, the new system spells were almost the only choice, with convenience and reliability completely crushing the old factions.

Especially for a mediocre talent among mages like him, he probably wouldn't even be worthy of being a caster in the old system, not even qualified to be an auxiliary tool.

If he could become a High-level Mage with a lofty status and abundant resources, the gap between the two systems would widen, and the upper limit would be completely different.

But for a mage apprentice, what is the upper limit? Can you eat it?

It's better to learn Fireball early, graduate, and receive a stipend. Even if he's not in the academy, he can still take a job in the army or with a local lord, live a corrupt feudal life early, and achieve his own class leap.

In other words, if I want to learn the old system, I have to learn a completely different part, wasting a lot of time. Where do I have that energy now?

Du Pont shook his head and looked at the many feats displayed by the System, suddenly discovering a very interesting option.

Mythic Power.

Mythic Power is a weakened version of divine power, a power that only demigods can possess. It is generally a powerful force that is bestowed by the gods/world after making certain great achievements.

Du Pont nodded silently after reading it, then clicked on the Legendary Action column below.

Some relatively powerful or long-lived creatures may possess abilities beyond the imagination of mortals. Dragon will have matching Legendary Action as long as they enter adulthood, which is extremely destructive.

Only monsters can have it?

Long-lived Vampire are relatively common Legendary Action owners. In recent years, some Fighter have also learned a technique called Action Surge. This technique has directly changed the Fighter's ecological status and is called the Fighter's Legendary Action by many people.

Du Pont's eyes widened after reading this.

So it can be calculated like this?
