Chapter 418: Chapter 417 Magical Tricks

"I remember that the Scroll Dragon is the powerful giant dragon second only to the Three Great Legendary Dragon Species in the DND world view, and it is best at researching anything related to magic."

After briefly recalling the information about the Scroll Dragon, Zhang Yanhang immediately understood why, after obtaining the bloodline of such a giant dragon, he would unlock something like the Spell List. The reason was that this was the Scroll Dragon’s very own Talent Ability.

Following this logic, Zhang Yanhang figured that if he were to obtain the bloodline of other giant dragons, he would likely also acquire the abilities that those dragons excel at, such as obtaining flame abilities from the Red Dragon, or nuclear blast abilities from the Plutonium Dragon. Well, maybe the Plutonium Dragon is a bit unrealistic.

Although he felt a bit regretful for not being able to obtain the abilities of the Plutonium Dragon, Zhang Yanhang believed the reason might be that the Plutonium Dragon is too rare, and there is no such branch in the Goblin’s Mixed Dragon Vein.

While the Scroll Dragon is equally rare, there are still far more Scroll Dragons than Plutonium Dragons, so finding one within the Goblin’s Mixed Dragon Vein is actually quite normal.

"Never mind, let’s not delude ourselves with Plutonium Dragons. The Scroll Dragon is actually quite good, at least it can help me obtain many useful spells. Speaking of which, can I also claim to be a Profession Mage when I go out in the future?"

Zhang Yanhang shifted his focus back to the Spell List, starting to see what spells he had acquired this time.

Firstly, there were Zero Ring Tricks, which included Magical Tricks with various uses that could cause one pound of matter to levitate slowly. Dye, clean, or soil objects not larger than 0.1 cubic meters. It could also warm, cool, or flavor one pound of non-living items.

Generally, they are used to attract attention, please children, or for pure entertainment. Common tricks include conjuring music out of thin air, making wilted flowers bloom again, floating a ball of light on one’s hand, raising a breeze that would snuff out a candle flame, flavoring distasteful food, or creating a miniature whirlwind to sweep dust from under a carpet.

Then there was Mage’s Hand, which was quite straightforward: it could create an invisible hand to help the user lift items weighing up to ten pounds from a distance.

Next was the Secret Magic Mark, which allowed the user to place a special magical mark on an Item or a specific location for identification or confirmation of certain things.

Continuing on was the Communication Skill, a Zero Ring Trick that allowed the user to whisper to someone so that others couldn’t hear them. Unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang was past the age of whispering with a girlfriend during class; he felt this spell wasn’t very useful to him.

Lastly, there was the Frost Freeze Ray, which was even simpler: it fired a Ray that caused Frozen damage and could slow down an enemy.

"It feels like the Scroll Dragon Bloodline surprisingly gave me some Zero Ring Tricks that are quite practical, and I should be able to use them in many situations."

As for impractical Zero Ring Tricks that Zhang Yanhang knew of? There were plenty, like the Adhesion Skill, whose only use was to stick small items together but was now perfectly replaced by superglue, or Horiz Koller Cough, which only created a loud coughing noise. If he wanted to list examples, there would be a ton.

After reviewing the Zero Ring Tricks, Zhang Yanhang started checking out the First Tier Spells. Starting from the First Tier, the spells began to have real combat capabilities.

"Launch Items and Guided Shooting... Can these two spells perhaps work together?"

Zhang Yanhang remembered that Launch Items used magic to propel small objects at extremely high speeds, mainly used to launch various hazardous Items, while Guided Shooting, as the name suggested, was about directing hits to the intended target and relevant positions, or in simpler terms, auto-aim with lock-on.

"These two spells, it feels like it would be a pity not to use them on cannon bullets. Launch Items could further increase the flight speed of the cannon bullets, and Guided Shooting would allow cannon bullets to acquire the ability to track the target by enabling auto-aim lock-on."

Although Zhang Yan was already a Gun Master at LV.MAX, he was after all not a Gunfighting Skill expert, and he couldn’t make bullets turn corners. But with Guided Shooting, that would change—his bullets could turn corners.

For example, shoot at an enemy’s head and, while the enemy is focused on protecting their head, quietly lock onto the groin to achieve a lethal blow. Although this tactic is sneaky, to a certain extent, attacking there can be considered as hitting the head, so if it’s all the head, why call it sneaky?

With such a simple consideration, Zhang Yanhang immediately felt that Launch Items and Guided Shooting were indeed quite suitable for him.

After looking through the effects of Launch Items and Guided Shooting, Zhang Yanhang continued to explore the following Master Language spell. As the name implied, this First Tier Spell would allow Zhang Yanhang to automatically Master Languages.

Once he used this spell, he would no longer have to worry about not understanding or reading any languages.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but lament—if only he had had this spell during his English listening exam, he might now be attending Qingbei University in Beijing, an Empire’s most prestigious university. Although his current university is also a Double First Class university under Project 985 and 211, it ultimately doesn’t compare to Qingbei.

Of course, while missing out on Qingbei was a bit disappointing, overall it was alright, especially since his current university was close to home, which was a quite nice advantage. Compared to going to a strange city, Zhang Yanhang preferred staying in a familiar city.

Perhaps some would say that to succeed in the future, one must step out of their Comfort Zone to venture and gain experience, but why leave such a comfortable Comfort Zone to suffer? He wasn’t a masochist.

Moreover, now that he had become an Awakener, he should stay in his Comfort Zone even more. After all, maintaining a pleasant mood and comfort was a prerequisite for an Awakener’s Cultivation, as it significantly reduced the likelihood of Deviation.

"That’s right, I was previously worried that after getting the formula from the Goblin Shaman with great difficulty, I might fail because I couldn’t understand the Nu Mountain Tribe dialect. But now with this Master Language, that problem is solved immediately."

Since he no longer had to worry about language barriers, Zhang Yanhang felt that he would maintain a higher enthusiasm in the process of acquiring the formula in the future, without giving up on obtaining the Medium Magic Recovery Potion’s formula due to inconvenience.
