Hogwarts: more magic than magic

Chapter 96 Hope for Simulator Upgrade
Under the light of super fluorescent flickering, the black mist presents a strange texture. The light is continuously absorbed by these unknown substances like smoke and water mist. Only a small part can be scattered, but it cannot be transmitted too far, and can only illuminate a small area.

The moment Qiz's body passed through the transparent film generated by the protective spell and came into contact with the black mist, a long-lost reminder came from the simulator.

After landing, he ran forward for a certain distance under the action of inertia, and then froze there.

Because he found the hope of upgrading the simulator again.

Almost at the same time he stepped into that area, the simulator popped up such a prompt.

[It is detected that the current environment contains weak high-level energy, do you want to start absorbing energy to upgrade?Upgrade time: 24 months]

"Really? This can be upgraded? I plan to find some high-level energy after this mission is over!" Qiz was very pleased with the sudden upgrade prompt.

It's just that he was immediately disappointed when he saw the time needed to upgrade.

"24 months? Simulator, are you kidding me? It takes two full years?"

[After recalculation, 24 months is the time required under the current energy concentration of the environment! 】

"Okay! That is to say, if you change the environment, you can shorten the time?", but the upgrade time of up to two years is too deceitful.

【Yes! 】

"Okay! Let's finish the task at hand first. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Hope is found. Everything is easy to talk about!"

It is also impossible for him to stay in such an environment for two years, not to mention whether he has so much time, and Blanca alone can't get through it, and she won't rest assured that she will stay here alone for such a long time.

Even if he gave up his studies at Hogwarts, he couldn't stay here forever.

Moreover, Qiz could feel that Blanca, who had gone far away, was still paying attention to him, and she was still paying attention to his actions. Just when he was so dazed just now, she had turned back towards him.

"Yes", Qiz thought for a while, and quickly chose to agree, "It's better to have the hope of promotion than nothing, at least point out the direction for yourself, since the environment here contains higher-level energy, there should be other secret realms that have suffered mutations.

In the future, if I have the opportunity to wander around, maybe I will encounter a place with high-level energy enrichment that day, and I may speed up the speed a little. "

[Jetian Simulator is being upgraded, the current progress is 0%. 】

The secret realm is still very dangerous. During the few minutes he was in a daze, several black mud monsters quickly approached him.

Moreover, Blanca seemed to have noticed her abnormality and the few black mud monsters surrounding her, so she immediately accelerated her speed.

Qiz put all distracting thoughts behind him, no longer cared about the upgrade of the simulator, fixed his eyes on the monster rushing towards him, and pulled out the newly issued long sword at his waist.

The fastest-running monster jumped up, opened its bloody mouth exuding bursts of black smoke, and threw itself at Qizi.

He deftly dodged to the side, quickly swung the long sword in his hand, and chopped off the head of the dog-shaped black mud monster that had already rushed in front of him.

After losing his head, the black mud monster didn't fall down immediately, but staggered and groped, changed direction, and continued to pounce in the direction where Qiz was.

But he was kicked away by Qizi.

"Good guy! It really is a monster, and it can continue to attack even if its head is cut off!"

The black mud monsters didn't give him much time to think, and at the same time as he completed several actions, other black mud monsters around him also rushed to his vicinity.

At some point, a humanoid black mud monster circled behind him and launched a fierce attack.

But Qiz had noticed him just now, so he was prepared. He quickly passed the long sword under his armpit, held the hilt with both hands behind his back, and kicked his feet forward fiercely.

Qiz, who was pressing on the monster, rolled to the side, and the sharp long sword cut the ground, cutting off most of the monster's waist from the spine.

This time his luck was very good, he could feel the different touch from the blade, it seemed that the long sword directly chopped the black crystal in the body of the humanoid monster just now.

After falling to the ground, the monster didn't get up again, but began to slowly melt into a pool of black mud after struggling twice.

Suddenly, the emulator popped up a prompt again without warning.

[Get some high-level energy...]

Keiz didn't have the time to click to check it immediately, rolled on the ground and stood up with the help of inertia.

Because a black mud monster appeared not far from his right side again, and the dog-shaped monster kicked away by him also galloped towards this side again.

The black mud-flowing wound was constantly wriggling, and a dog's head that was slightly smaller grew out during the running process. The speed of this thing was much faster than that of ordinary dogs, and it soon rushed to the vicinity of Qizi again.

Qizi kicked the nearest dog-shaped black mud monster far away, took out two crystal bottles from his non-marking stretch bag, and quickly poured them on his long sword one by one.

The first bottle of liquid was like ordinary cooking oil, and when it was poured, it formed an oily film on the sword body.

Then came the second bottle, which was very viscous, and after it was poured, it quickly covered the entire body of the sword under the action of the oil film.

The two bottles of liquid are oily potions that protect metals from corrosion, and highly poisonous potions prepared with diluted basilisk venom, which are extremely corrosive and toxic.

In the simulator, Chiz learned that these monsters in the secret realm seem to be very afraid of the basilisk's venom, so he prepared these things a few days ago.

Now it's time to try to see if this thing works!
Qiz held the long sword obliquely, trying to avoid the venom on it from sticking to his body, and rushed towards the black mud monster not far away. This is a relatively deformed monster with no specific shape, and it is covered with various strange limbs.

He quickly approached the black mud monster, dodged a tentacle attack, held the hilt of the sword with both hands and raised it.

The touch from the long sword did not have the same obvious resistance as when it was cut on the two monsters before. It cut the black mud monster's body in half like slashing through tofu.

Moreover, after the monster fell to the ground, it did not get up again, but began to struggle violently. The tentacles all over its body were twisting irregularly. It could be seen that it seemed to be in great pain. A large amount of black smoke came out from the wound cut by the long sword, and it turned into a puddle of muddy water in a short while.

"It's really useful! I didn't even chop the black crystals in its body, and this ghost thing was directly turned into muddy water under the action of the venom. It seems that the next action may be a lot easier!", the corners of Qiz's mouth under the mask were grinning upwards.

At this time, the dog-shaped monster circled behind him again and rushed towards him.

Qiz turned sideways slightly, and the new head of the dog-shaped monster hit the blade directly, and then driven by the impact, the whole monster was cut in half by himself.

With the same effect as the previous one, this ghost thing fell to the ground and immediately emitted a puff of black smoke, which quickly turned into muddy water.

After killing the three monsters, Qiz glanced at his long sword. Some of the venom coating on it had been consumed. In some places, the protective film had been rubbed off due to contact with the monster's body. There was some slight smoke from the corrosion of the venom, but it was not very obvious.

If used properly, such a sword should still be able to be used for a long time, and it will not be corroded beyond recognition like the paladin's great sword that was completely soaked in the basilisk venom.

He looked around vigilantly, but did not find any monster coming towards him again.

And not far away, Blanca, who had been hiding in the black mist and watching her, also stopped and moved this way. She should have seen her performance just now.

After Qiz confirmed that the surroundings were safe, he continued to check the prompt that the simulator just jumped out with confidence.

There are two more prompts than just now. It seems that one prompt pops up when you kill a monster, and the content on it is exactly the same.

[Obtain some advanced energy, the current simulator upgrade energy acquisition progress is increased by 0.003%, and the time required is reduced by about half an hour. 】

Qiz was very happy at first. When he killed these monsters by himself, the simulator could also gain extra high-level energy!This should give energy harvesting a huge boost.

But when he saw the percentage and the shortened time clearly, he felt a little speechless.

The outrageous percentage given by the simulator has reached three decimal places. Although killing a monster can provide energy collected for half an hour, he calculated carefully that if all the 24 months of energy collection time were replaced by killing monsters, a total of more than 3 to nearly [-] monsters would need to be killed.

This is outrageous, let alone whether there are thirty to forty thousand monsters in the entire secret realm, even if there are, when will it be killed?

Even [-] to [-] pigs!It will take a long time to kill, not to mention that the pigs to be killed are not locked up pigs!It's these disgusting and dangerous monsters that run around.

"But what can we do? It would be nice to have an upgrade path, isn't it [-] to [-]? Kill! Kill the monsters to extinction! It's best to meet a few of the high-level monsters that Branca said, and see if you can get more energy?" Qiz comforted himself psychologically.

He quickly adjusted his mood, and took out a special scabbard to replace the original scabbard of the long sword. This is a special scabbard that he hurriedly made last night, which can prevent the venom on it from getting everywhere.

Taking a deep breath, he was almost taken away by the rancid smell coming from the mask. He had been highly concentrated just now and didn't feel any smell. Now he relaxed and reacted. Even this mask with magic couldn't completely isolate the smell in the air.

After simply cleaning up the black mud splashed on him during the battle, he took out the fluorescent bottle from his bag and held it in his hand, and walked towards the black mist where Wald's fluorescent lights couldn't shine.
