"No wonder I've heard that many witches keep a little cat as a pet. It's probably the only one that can serve as a witch's messenger."
Jiang Kehan lifted the cat ball off her head and placed it in her arms, feeling its silky fur as she pondered.
"But I've heard that cat balls are also very resilient, is that true?"
She looked at Shan Lin curiously. Now that Shan Lin had said that, she did want to raise a little kitten. Well, it wasn't for the purpose of contacting Li Hui.
She simply couldn't resist these furry little creatures, absolutely!
The little cat seemed to sense Jiang Kehan's insincerity, and with a rather human-like glance at her, it nudged her stomach and burrowed a few times.
However, this cat ball's personality is much better than the other cat balls; it didn't loudly laugh like a cat.
“It’s true, Little Meow Ball is, strictly speaking, the most authentic World Guardian,” Shan Lin said with a smile.
"Their existence exists above truth and law; they are more like observers and guardians of the rules, only..."
Jiang Kehan asked curiously, "Just what?"
Shan Lin looked at the lazy little kitten in Jiang Kehan's arms with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and said...
"I just don't know which witch first discovered their existence, found them cute, and then pulled them off the rules."
That's how we got the little kitten ball we see now.
Ah, Jiang Kehan didn't know what to say for a moment, but she felt that this was very witchy.
"However, the core of the Meowballs is still above the rules, in the place that the witch calls the Silver Sea. So simply dying in the material world does not prevent them from rushing out of the Silver Sea."
Shanlin beckoned to the little cat, used her magic to lift it up, pulled it back into her arms, and gently tapped its head.
"But because of this, all the Meowballs can communicate directly in the Silver Sea, which is equivalent to their internal wireless terminals. Just now, it wanted to send your bad words inside."
Uh, Jiang Kehan looked at the puffed-up little cat ball with some surprise, completely unable to tell that the other party was actually talking bad about her.
Is it true that the cuter the creature, the darker it is when cut open?
Jiang Kehan gently tapped the other person's head with her slender fingers, then looked at Shan Lin expectantly.
"Miss Shanlin actually understands cat language?"
It is said that the language of the cat ball changes every moment, and even the most skilled witches cannot discover the pattern. Only a very few witches can understand it through their talent.
Shanlin pinched the cat's tail and shook her head.
"I don't know how, but the Great Witch can basically intercept the general meaning of the information that Meow Ball uploads to the Silver Sea. For example, just now it was mocking you for being a tsundere."
"If it simply speaks, I won't be able to understand it."
You're the one who's arrogant, you're the one who's arrogant!
Jiang Kehan's face looked as delicate and rosy as if it had been touched by peach blossoms in early spring.
She said weakly, "Um, I'm really not being arrogant."
Shan Lin chuckled and comforted Jiang Kehan like a caring older sister: "Yeah, I know you're not, especially the way you looked when you completed the mission, you were so handsome, Kehan."
Jiang Kehan's face was flushed thoroughly and evenly, the heat on her face making the air feel scorching, as if a certain feeling called shame had fully ripened.
I should be under the car, not being roasted by the two of you.
Jiang Kehan's smile was somewhat forced, just like when she went home for the New Year in her previous life and faced those relatives who asked all sorts of questions and didn't know how to read the room.
The main focus is on wanting to get rid of it, really wanting to get rid of it.
Shanlin realized that her joke had gone too far, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Kehan wants to raise a cat ball, right? There's a lot to learn about that."
No witch is uninterested in knowledge, especially rare knowledge.
Jiang Kehan's attention was drawn to this, and she temporarily put her shyness aside. After all, listening to these things outside would cost money, and it might be a lot of money!
Shanlin waved her long sleeves, and the remaining magic unfolded like a scroll, recording in detail the little stories and interesting tales between the different cat balls.
"The Meow Ball is essentially an existence that transcends the rules, but its birth is still inseparable from the rules. The Meow Balls derived from different directions of rules and truths are also different."
This is why the species of Meowballs are virtually endless, and each species possesses its own unreasonable abilities.
Is it like how Fangcao Miaoqiu can summon ice cream at any time?
Tears welled up in Jiang Kehan's eyes. Her favorite cat ball was the Fangcao Cat Ball, and the ice cream it summoned was of very high quality, making people want to say something.
"Oh my god, Bing!"
"So, if Kehan is interested in Meowball, this collection of essays contains some of my thoughts, you can take a look."
"While Meowball Logistics can help you with simple mail delivery, Meowball itself is worth raising."
Shan Lin pushed the magical phantom, and instantly the magic, carrying the knowledge within, transformed into paper scrolls, which began to overlap and become a beautiful notebook.
It then landed in front of Jiang Kehan.
"This is too precious, I can't accept it." Although Jiang Kehan really wanted it, the witch didn't give gifts without reason. The more she favored something, the more outrageous the meaning behind it was.
Shan Lin smiled.
"Don't refuse, this is my payment to you. I want to ask you to do something for me."
Ok?
Jiang Kehan frowned slightly, wondering what the other party needed her help with.
The gap between the two is even greater than the gap between a beggar and a president in their previous lives.
"What's matter?"
Shan Lin looked at Jiang Kehan, who seemed somewhat wary, and felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
"It's nothing major, it just happens that you happen to be able to make the arrangements."
I'd like to attend your college's team selection trials, so I'd like you to arrange a spot for me.
After all, you're the third seat in the academy, aren't you?
Jiang Kehan looked at the other person suspiciously. Logically speaking, these things could be arranged directly by the college's chief, who was in charge of that.
Oh, so the chief is Li Hui? Then it's alright.
Jiang Kehan suddenly understood everything.
"Okay, but is what I've done really worth as much as this collection of essays?"
When the reward for a commission is roughly equal to the difficulty level, don't doubt it, it's about hiring black slaves.
But when the reward is dozens of times more difficult, sister, you can cover your back and never bend over.
This was advice given by a witch who had personally experienced it, and Jiang Kehan kept it firmly in mind.
"Of course, this is not an encyclopedia of Meowball, but just a record of a few things I have encountered."
"Even if you take it to the Witch's Agency for appraisal, you won't get more than a few hundred points."
Uh, I remember I only got 120 witch points when I saved Solita.
As expected, the basic counting units used by the expert and me are completely different.
Jiang Kehan breathed a sigh of relief. The other party wouldn't lie to her. If it was only worth a few hundred points, she could afford it.
"Yes, I accept this request, but I still have a few questions about combat and alchemy that I would like to ask Miss Shanlin."
Jiang Kehan was somewhat serious; she didn't want to waste this opportunity for conversation.
Shanlin took out some pastries and looked at her with a smile: "It's okay, let's chat slowly. Let's have some cake first. Do you want some ice cream?"
I want!
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but cheer in her heart, then realized what she was thinking, covered her mouth, and nodded to the other person.
Jiang Kehan, how could you be bought off by just one cup of ice cream? You should at least have two!
She thought so.
Chapter 144 Training
After talking with Shan Lin, Jiang Kehan was struck by a burst of inspiration.
The other person's knowledge and experience were so extensive that just a few simple sentences gave Jiang Kehan a perspective she had never seen before, giving her a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Especially in alchemy and combat.
Although Shanlin is not a dueling witch, as a great witch, she cannot avoid battle. As Jiang Kehan's current teacher, she is more than capable!
What? You mean Jiang Kehan's dueling teacher, Gu Qingci?
Gu Qingci mainly focuses on sparring; he'll get the hang of it after dying a lot.
She advocates that witches forge their own paths, because the path she herself has taken is not a normal one, and her experience is not of much reference value to other witches.
You can't just tell people that this is something you can do by instinct, can you?
Jiang Kehan's talent in combat relies entirely on her magical abilities; she basically only plays against weak opponents, overwhelming them entirely with her magic.
If it were Gu Qingci, she would have asked her to think about how to use less magic to achieve greater power, but Shan Lin is different.
Shan Lin will let Jiang Kehan take full advantage of the situation and teach her how to waste more magic power to completely crush her.
Moreover, the Great Witch is the most steadfast supporter of the theory of the advantage of quantity of magic power. Basically, the magic power she recovers every second exceeds the magic power she consumes, so she can't use it all up.
Therefore, more effective ways of "wasting" are something they really need to think about.
This gave Jiang Kehan a lot of inspiration. In most cases, witch duels are still competitions between witches of the same stage, and Jiang Kehan's magic power is a pure advantage that crushes her.
This gave her the confidence to follow this line of thinking.
For example, Shanlin suggested that she learn two spellcasting techniques: "Spell Torrent" and "Multiple Chants".
"Spell Torrent" can unleash multiple mixed attack spells at once. Although the power will be reduced due to the conflict between spells, the casting speed is basically the same as using a single spell.
The combined power of multiple spells is much greater than that of individual spells. Although the cost is that the mana consumption is several times that of casting these spells normally, it is not a problem for Jiang Kehan!
Her magic power of just over 2000 is already 6 or 7 times that of a normal little witch. If you do the math, she's making a pure profit!
"Multiple chanting" extends the spell's casting time, allowing it to be used multiple times simultaneously.
For example, Jiang Kehan can use the same spell twice in 1.5 times the normal casting time. Although it takes longer, she still gains more casting opportunities.
Most importantly, these two techniques can be used in combination.
