“Ding—”
“Today's Task (2): Purchase the green field wand;
Task Reward: 100 Talent Experience, 500 Skill Experience, one random reward.”
A sudden task notification sounded in Jia Na's mind. Looking at the content on the task panel, Jia Na couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
“I actually triggered two daily tasks in a row today…”
According to Jia Na's past experience, most of the tasks dispatched by the daily task system were triggered tasks. The trigger frequency was mostly once every three days or so, and the probability of triggering two tasks consecutively on the same day had never happened in the past six months.
“It seems that this wand definitely has a trick to it…”
She secretly guessed in her heart. Ever since Jia Na entered the dream of “Divine War” and learned from the dream that the “daily task system” was actually derived from a fragment of the Law, she began to pay attention to the tasks issued by the system.
Most of the task contents were random, without any discernible pattern, and were entirely triggered by Jia Na's subjective initiative.
However, some tasks, like the “Purchase the green field wand” task triggered a few seconds ago, were not only highly directional, but the task system even clearly marked the wand's name, even though Jia Na didn't know the wand's information beforehand.
“Excuse me, what is the name of this wand?”
“This wand is a Healing Wand, named by the wand restorer, Tanuki Master.”
“Healing Wand?”
Hearing that the name spoken by the sales assistant was inconsistent with the task information, Jia Na imperceptibly narrowed her eyes slightly, without showing too much emotion on her face.
“Yes, don't let its appearance fool you. Although this wand was a damaged item repurchased by our store, after passing through the hands of Tanuki Master, it has already been fully repaired… Not only can it reduce casting time and improve casting accuracy, but it also has a 5% magic power amplification effect, and when held, it can accelerate wound healing and prevent infection…”
Seeing that a customer was finally interested in this in-stock item, the female sales assistant with a baby face couldn't help but perk up, introducing the wand's attributes voluminously.
“However, this wand has one flaw: only Wizards with Plant-based affinity talent can use it… That's why this wand has been unsellable.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na nodded and finally understood why this wand, which had both excellent attributes and a reasonable price, had been sitting in inventory for so long without being sold.
“When you acquired it, did those mercenaries mention which alchemist made this wand?”
“Well… actually, those mercenaries weren't clear either, because they found this wand in a A abandoned Yaoging ruin. According to Tanuki Master's speculation, this wand should have been made by a Yaoging alchemist; otherwise, it wouldn't have the restriction of ‘only for Plant-based talent holders’.”
Upon hearing the keyword “Yaoging ruin,” Jia Na's eyebrows slightly arched.
Yaoging is often a collective term for long-lived species such as flower fairies and tree spirits.
Just like the Oak Fairy, who possesses the domain of Extraordinary Charm, she is one of the tree spirit races.
They are skilled in music, mischievous in nature, the most loyal believers of the Dao of Nature, and also the race most proficient in using natural magic.
“If you want to buy a Plant-based wand, I actually recommend the ‘Blossom Wand’ on the top row. The staff of this wand is made of fluorescent wood core, and the top is inlaid with a green python eye gem. Not only can it greatly enhance the power of Plant-based Witchcraft, but the wand also has the ‘Blossom Shield’ Witchcraft inscribed within it, which can be cast instantly twice a day…”
Looking at the elaborately designed “Blossom Wand” on the top shelf, priced at two hundred jin sule, Jia Na resolutely shook her head, still choosing the “Healing Wand” for one hundred and twenty-five jin sule.
“Thank you for your patronage, and welcome back next time.”
Touching her wallet, which had only eighty jin sule left, Jia Na sighed at how quickly money was spent, yet still walked out of the “Tanuki's New Outfit” door with satisfaction.
“Task panel.”
“Today's Task (2): Purchase the green field wand (Completed);
Task Reward: 100 Talent Experience, 500 Skill Experience, Luck +0.1.”
“Luck value?”
Habitually adding the talent experience to the 【Soul Projection】 talent, Jia Na's gaze remained fixed on the 【Luck: 7.6 (+0.1)】 column in her character attributes.
“This is the first time the system has rewarded luck points.”
Unlike attributes such as 【Perception】, 【Charm】, and 【Comprehension】, which, although they sound subjective, can indeed be measured by objective data, 【Luck】 is more like a concept in Mysticism that involves the domain of “fate.”
In fact, in Witchcraft, there are many Witchcrafts that can affect fortune. For example, “Curse,” or “Luck Absorption” in evil rituals.
However, both of these are magic achieved through Ritual Wizardry. Although artificially caused, they themselves conform to the Law of fate's operation.
The 【Luck Value】 reward bestowed by the system is more like a deviation from fate, causing a non-artificial “positive” change in the 【fate】 of a certain objectively existing thing.
This “positive” change is what the Law of fate deems “positive.” For Jia Na, it truly invisibly changed her predetermined fate, making her luckier…
“What special hidden quality does this wand possess? It's just a lowest-grade white task, yet it can grant a 【Luck Value】 reward…”
Looking at the vine-shaped wand in her hand, filled with the natural aesthetic of the Yaoging, for some reason, a strange sense of intimacy suddenly surged into Jia Na's heart. For a moment, Jia Na even felt that the Plant-based talent within her Wizard tree resonated with the “green field wand” in her hand.
“Could it be related to the Law fragment?”
Although she had some guesses, since she was still outside and couldn't delve deeper, Jia Na chose to first place the wand inside her wizard robe, keeping it close to her body.
“I'll study it properly when I get back to the dorm.”
Gently putting on the hood of her new wizard robe, Jia Na silently chanted a spell and cast the Light Feather Spell. Like an elf strolling through city buildings, she lightly tapped her toes, and with a few leaps and bounds, she vanished into the shadows of the alleys.
…
“Patter—”
With a gentle flutter of butterfly wings, after leaving the city, Jia Na cast Deformation Art to transform into her butterfly-winged form, quickly traversing the Mist Forest.
Compared to the Light Feather Spell, the butterfly wings flew more than twice as fast. In less than half the usual time, Jia Na passed through the vine tunnel with the help of the mist branches and returned to White Coral Academy.
“Caw—caw—”
Just as Jia Na was retracting her wings and preparing to return to her dormitory, a black-feathered Raven, holding a white envelope in its beak, suddenly flew in front of her.
“Caw—Little Apprentice, this is a letter for you.”
