Wizard: My magic facility can be upgraded!

Chapter 16 Choice

His tone was flat, only showing a slight emotional fluctuation when he mentioned poisoning a legendary wizard at the end. Finally, his gaze turned to the Stargazing School.

"The School of Astrology specializes in interpreting the trajectories of stars to gain insight into the river of destiny, drawing star maps, and constructing spatial anchors. However, this path requires more than just simple spiritual talent; it also demands profound understanding."

After saying that, he said no more, but calmly looked at everyone with his deep gray eyes, waiting for their decision.

Matthew acted almost the instant Theronst finished speaking.

With an ambitious glint in his eyes and a deliberately provocative look directed at Li Ang, he strode confidently toward the long line of the Elementalists.

His choice was no surprise; his level 5 mental talent and affinity for fire were exactly the reasons why Seronster valued him.

Helena glanced at the long line of the Elementalists and then at the deserted scene of the Potions School. After hesitating for a moment, she finally chose the Elementalists as well.

Rudick pushed up his thick glasses, his gaze shifting back and forth between the emblems of the Astrology and Elementalism schools. After glancing at Matthew, who was queuing for the Elementalism school, he made his decision and stepped into the Astrology line.

The other prospective apprentices who had gathered stars were also mostly attracted by the surging crowd of the Elementalists and the emblem representing power, and joined the long queue one after another.

Theronster's cold gaze fell on Li Ang, awaiting his choice.

The Elementalists are bustling with activity, symbolizing power and Celeste's favor; the Potions School is quiet and aloof, but can solve their immediate problems; and the Stargazer School is full of mystery and the unknown.

Li Ang's gaze darted between the three, while his mind raced. The core of his cheat system, the [Facility Upgrade Panel], lay in binding and upgrading facilities.

While the Elementalist school is powerful, its strength is mostly manifested in its own destructive power. Those who follow this path place more emphasis on their own cultivation, which will inevitably result in limited access to facilities.

The School of Astrology is shrouded in mystery and unknown, while the School of Potions... possesses crucibles, stills, and even a possible herb garden...

These are the paths he is most likely to take and use to solidify and improve himself.

What's more, what Celonst just said about the Potions School being able to concoct potions that extend lifespan made Li Ang even more eager.

Having made up his mind, Li Ang no longer hesitated and walked towards the Potions School's group. There were a few people scattered there, but he didn't recognize any of them; they must have been brought by other wizards.

Theronster's gray eyes lingered on Li Ang for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his calm expression.

For him, Matthew, with his level 5 mental talent and affinity for fire, was a perfect fit for him and had been accepted as his disciple. Helena also chose the elemental school.

Of the three most promising people in this group, two have already joined his side. Although Li Ang has potential, choosing the potion school is not a big deal for him.

He didn't linger and turned to leave.

The blue-robed witch calmly looked at Li Ang and the other prospective apprentices who had arrived on other ships and had also chosen the path of potions, and began to speak.

"Welcome to our Potions School. If you're sure you want to join, write your name on this parchment," she said, pointing to the stack of parchments on the table.

Li Ang picked up a piece of parchment and read it carefully. The contents can be summarized as his declaration of voluntarily joining the Potions School and some promises to keep it confidential.

At the bottom is a blank space, which seems to be a place where you just need to sign your name.

After reading it, Li Ang felt there were no problems. However, even if there were some unequal treaties, he would sign them as long as they weren't too outrageous. After all, this was the only way to reach the top in this world, and everyone else was just an ant.

After picking up the quill pen on the table and writing his name, Leon Carlsen, on the parchment, an invisible contract was imprinted deep within his spiritual world. It seemed that this contract was not just written on paper, but had a real binding force.

After seeing that all the trainees had signed, she smiled slightly and said: Don't worry, everyone. As long as you don't violate the contents of this contract, it will have no impact on you. Of course, if you do violate it, you will be melted away instantly.

Li Ang was somewhat alarmed. How could she say such terrifying words while wearing such a beautiful smile...?

Seeing the pale faces of the trainee apprentices, she narrowed her eyes and revealed a fox-like smile.

Children, believe me, things are already much better now. Before the Contract Scroll appeared, joining the Potions School required drinking the Blood Oath Potion. That potion wasn't as easy to deal with as the Contract Scroll. If you didn't drink the antidote on time every month, you would turn into blood.

The more Li Ang listened, the colder his heart became, and he began to doubt whether his choice was correct... But he figured other factions were probably in the same boat, or even more ruthless, he told himself.

After saying this, the blue-robed witch stopped smiling and turned to a female wizard follower behind her:

"Ellie, take them to collect supplies and familiarize them with the apprentice area."

"Yes, Mentor Karin."

The wizard's attendant, Ellie, bowed respectfully, then gave Leon and his companions a professional smile, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable command:

"Gentlemen, please follow me."

Ellie led them through an archway in the side of the hall and into a relatively quiet corridor filled with the faint scent of grass and trees.

The walls on both sides were inlaid with crystal frames displaying various exotic plant specimens. Soon they arrived at a room with a sign that read "Supplies Distribution Center".

The door was unlocked, and the room was quite spacious inside. Along the wall were rows of storage compartments embedded in the wall, with items neatly arranged inside.

An elderly man with gray hair, wearing reading glasses and a green robe sat behind a large wooden table, dipping a quill pen in ink and writing something in a thick parchment ledger.

"Greetings, Wizard Mori. This is the new batch of prospective apprentices who have chosen to join the Potions faction. They have come to collect their basic supplies."

Ellie spoke respectfully to the old man.

Old Mori raised his head, pushed up his reading glasses that had slipped down to the tip of his nose, and casually glanced at the group of prospective apprentices in front of him.

Then he stood up and slowly opened a drawer behind him.

"One copy of 'Basic Potions' for each person"

Old Maurice placed several thick books on the table, exuding the fresh scent of parchment and ink.

"A standard practice crucible, a basic herbal medicine packet, and 30 copper coins as a monthly allowance for reserve apprentices."

He pushed these things out to each of his apprentices one by one.

When it was Li Ang's turn, old Mori paused for a moment as he handed over the item.

He carefully examined Li Ang's brand-new gray apprentice robe, a hint of surprise flashing in his cloudy eyes.
