Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3970 Rely on Others and Yourself
Become a magician in real life?
There was a strong flash of anticipation in April 1st's eyes. Ever since he learned of the existence of the Fashion Magician, he had also imagined the scene of himself becoming a magician.

However, magicians are more dazzling than the powerful class!
There is already an insurmountable gap between the powerful class and the general public, so magicians are probably even more isolated.

I am just an ordinary person. Can I really cross countless gaps in reality and become a magician?
Angel's ability might be useful in this dream of a small garden, but he couldn't influence reality. If he wanted to become a magician in reality, it would probably be very difficult, right?

On April 1st, I feel both hopeful and pessimistic about the uncertain future.

However, to Ingres, these thoughts of his were pure fantasy.

"It's not difficult."

Angel said confidently: "It is not difficult to make you a magician in reality."

April 1: “Ah?”

But, wasn't Ingres always in deep thought, with hesitation in his eyes? Didn't this mean that things were difficult?

Angel: "...No, I am indeed hesitant, but I am not hesitating about how to make you a magician. Rather, I am hesitating about which option to choose to make you a magician?"

Which option? April 1 looked surprised. Are there many options?
Angel nodded: "There are many solutions, but fundamentally, there are only two types of solutions: rely on others, or rely on yourself."

What does “rely on others” mean?
Angel gave a simple example. April 1st already knew that Zuniga was a powerful magician, and he had an illogical item called the "Page of Initials".

Then, on April 1st, you can go find Zuniga in reality and make a deal with him in exchange for the initial page.

"I have nothing, how can I make a deal?" April 1st waved his hands and shook his head hurriedly. He had nothing now and could only split a penny into two to use. How could he make a deal?

Angel: "Not this kind of deal. I will tell you a piece of information. This information is very important to Zuniga. He is absolutely willing to use the Initial Page in exchange for this information."

This information was undoubtedly about Gonzalez.

Since Gonzalez appeared in the Modern City copy, according to the reflection relationship between reality and the copy, Gonzalez must also exist in reality.

As long as Zuniga learned Gonzalez's information, he didn't even need to say it explicitly, just tell him: "I have clues about the people of the mountains."

After Zuniga heard the news, he was willing to exchange the information with the Initial Page, or even something more precious.

This is what Ingres called "relying on others."

This method may not be 100% successful, but it is at least 99%. April 1st can use this to become a magician in reality.

"However, this method also has certain risks. After all, Zuniga is a powerful magician. When you face him, your words, your emotions, and your behavior will be amplified by him. If there is any mistake, he may not be willing to listen to you. Instead, he will use more forceful means to pry open your mouth directly."

Angel: "But based on my understanding of Zuniga, even if he really manages to pry your mouth open, he will compensate you in the end as long as he gets the information."

“So, I personally recommend this method.”

April 1st frowned and said, "But no information can be obtained without reason. If he asks me where I got this information, I won't be able to answer."

Angel: "Just tell the truth."

"You mean, we should tell him about the situation in the small garden?" April 1st was stunned.

Angel: "I can't decide whether to tell him or not. But even if I do tell him, can he still come to you in your dreams?"

April 1st raised his hand weakly: "Will Zuniga in the box garden awaken like me?"

Ingres subconsciously wanted to deny it directly, but after thinking about it...he felt that the denial seemed too absolute.

Many steps of the fairyland's power are extremely strange.

Just like before——

Who could have known that the strategy copy was going well, but suddenly I ran into an NPC in my dream?

Who could have thought that there was such a powerful talent as "Dream Setting" in this world, which allowed Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon to take advantage of Blanche's help and break into the Uriel dungeon as outsiders, and even become half NPCs?

Who could have expected that the copy was going well, but suddenly the style changed and it was about to invade the dark corners of the real world?

The above is just a random selection of the steps in Wonderland.

At some point, the power of the fairyland will take a new step and allow Zuniga in reality to enter the copy and become an "awakened"... that is not impossible.

So, Ingres remained silent.

After a long time.

"I don't know if I can awaken, but even if I do, it won't have any effect on you..."

To use an analogy, Zuniga is an elephant, and April 1 is just an ant. The ant may be able to attract the elephant's attention with temporary intelligence, but if the intelligence of both parties is at the same starting line, how can the elephant focus on the ant?

Therefore, even if Zuniga in the copy awakens, Angel personally thinks that it is no big deal.

Even from his point of view, it would be a good thing if Zuniga could awaken.

Maybe I can trick him into going to a dark corner in his dream...

Angel: "You don't have to think too much. In reality, it's impossible to be a magician without taking any risks. At least in my opinion, if you take Zuniga's path, the risk is actually relatively small."

"Of course, besides Zuniga, I can also introduce you to other people. Through them, you also have the opportunity to become a magician."

For example, Lizzie, Vera, Little Green, Karen, Kaushik... and so on.

In reality, it is still possible to use information exchange as a deal to get them to help April 1st become a magician.

However, these people do not have convenient props like the initial page. Even if they can support April 1st, April 1st will still have to face the challenge tasks on his own in the end.

"Compared to the option of 'relying on others,' I still recommend Zuniga."

April 1st absorbed what Angel said, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "What if it's 'on my own'?"

Angel: "If you want to rely on yourself, then go find the fashion monster yourself."

Under normal circumstances, fashion monsters would be attracted by "fashionable" behavior. Given the current "fashion level" on April 1st, it is basically unlikely to attract fashion monsters.

However, Angle can take a shortcut for him.

That is-

rumor!

After Angel completed the main mission 2, he obtained fifteen random rumors, three branch rumors, two designated rumors, and one hidden mission rumor...

Angel picked out one of these rumors at random and asked April 1st to find it in reality. There is a chance that April 1st can become a magician through it.

However, there are two prerequisites here.

First, rumors are definitely useful in the dungeon. But whether these rumors correspond to reality is still unclear, and you need to confirm it yourself on April 1st.

Second, if the rumor is true, you must personally complete the corresponding challenge on April 1st to become a magician. Although the challenge mission is generally not life-threatening, if the challenge copy lasts too long, such as lasting for two or three days, the real body will inevitably become abnormal, and may even starve to death.

In short, if you rely on yourself, the risk is definitely greater than taking Zuniga's route.

Ingres still hopes to take a simple and smooth path on April 1st.

However, after hearing the two options, April 1st said without hesitation, "I choose to rely on myself!"

Angel looked at April 1st and asked, "What's the reason?"

April 1st: "I have learned about fashion magicians before. Every magician has to go through challenging tasks. Even if I can skip the first challenge with the help of the initial page, can I skip the second and third challenges?"

Since he wanted to be a fashion magician, he naturally knew the risks involved.

Just like what Angel said, if you want to be a magician, you must take risks. If you don't take any risks at all, then he might as well be an ordinary person.

Moreover, relying on others is equivalent to placing your own future in the hands of others.

Rely on yourself, at least the future is in your own hands.

Angel's eyes flickered and he raised his eyebrows and said, "But, aren't rumors also provided by me? In a sense, aren't you also relying on me?"

Since you can rely on me, why can't you rely on others?

April 1st's expression suddenly became serious, and his tone was particularly solemn: "Sir, you are a guide, this is different."

For him, if he really became a magician in reality, Angel would be his guide and an important figure who influenced the turning point of his life, which was incomparable to anyone else.

In fact, since he met Ingres today, his life trajectory has gradually changed.

At this moment, Angel already had a different place in his heart.

"In my opinion, sir is my...teacher."

"Teacher?" Angel's expression froze for two seconds before he chuckled and said, "I am just a low-level magician, so I cannot be called a teacher."

"Besides, this is only the second time we've met, and you've given me such an important identity. I can't bear it."

April 1st said nothing, but his eyes were firm.

Angel shrugged: "Although I can't be your teacher, since you have decided to 'rely on yourself', it is no problem for me to help you plan your future."

Angel knew a lot of rumors, and it was basically certain that each rumor corresponded to at least one fashion monster.

Which fashion monster is more suitable for April 1st?

While thinking about this question, Angel looked up at April 1st.

But this time, there was a slight gleam in his eyes.

April 1st also noticed this. Ingres's bright eyes seemed to be stained with luminous powder, bringing out a dreamy and vibrant brilliance...

"Overall potential: five stars"

"Potential comment: Few creatures would dislike a person with a gentle heart."

"The most recommended development direction: Summoning (five stars)"

"The recommended development directions are: education (five stars), psychology (five stars), gardening (five stars), diplomacy (four stars), service (four stars)...fashion (one star)."

This was the first time that Ingres used his Potential Eye against April 1st.

The result of the potential eye surprised Angel a little.

Five stars for overall potential is actually very high. At least, it exceeds 99% of the people in Modern City.

But what surprised Angle most was that April 1st had more developments than he had imagined.

You know, many people only have one main development direction with the highest star rating, and the others are average. Even for the Flower Wish with the highest potential rating that Angle has seen so far, only the fragrance has reached eight stars, and the others are basically four stars or even lower.

Although April 1st's overall potential is only five stars, he has four development directions with five-star ratings... This is more than Huayuan's.

Even the four-star ratings have several directions of development.

As Ingres looked along, he found that the development on April 1st was very average. He could achieve very good results in any industry he entered.

Moreover, the comment given by Potential Eyes was also rarely positive: "Few creatures would dislike a person with a gentle heart."

April 1st is just as this review says.

From the heart to the behavior, everything is gentle.

After reading the evaluation of Potential Eye, Angel's personal evaluation of April 1st also improved.

After all, he doesn't hate gentle people.

Back to the topic, Angel used the Potential Eye on April 1st just to see in which areas he had more potential, and then choose an initial monster suitable for him based on rumors.

However, the potential direction of April 1st made Angel a little difficult to decide.

Summon (five stars).

This is the most recommended direction of development.

Because the recommended directions presented by Potential Eyes are based on Angel's knowledge base, the summoning here most likely refers to the mysterious summoning system among wizards.

But among the fashion monsters, there doesn't seem to be any monsters like the summoning type...

Therefore, the main promotion direction of "summoning" will probably say goodbye on April 1st.

Fortunately, there are three development directions on April 1st that also have five-star potential, which are no worse than "Summoning".

Education, psychology, and gardening all have five-star potential.

Coincidentally, Angel actually knew quite a few fashion monsters that corresponded to these terms.

For example, the "Smokescreen Scholar" in Ingres's hand, since it is a "scholar", it is probably related to "education".

In addition, the monsters in the popularity series should be related to "psychology". After all, if you want to figure out the popularity and increase traffic, you must study people's hearts.

Like the "Eye of the Heart" that Vera used before, it was probably very suitable for April 1st. Unfortunately, it was a special-grade monster, not to mention April 1st, there was no second one in the entire Modern City.

There must be fashionable monsters related to "gardening". After all, gardening is also an art. In the modern city, a city that pursues modernity and climbs art, there must be no shortage of such monsters.

So, which one should you choose?
