Chapter 40040: Can you lend me some magic stones?

After the new issue of Magic Mirror Weekly came out, it really caused quite a stir among Luo Xi and his fellow apprentices.

This is because there was a manuscript in this issue of the journal that was written by a classmate with whom they had been working day and night.

You know, most apprentices nowadays are still struggling to construct a spell model, while at the same time there are apprentices who can publish papers in top journals like Magic Mirror, which is really hard to accept.

In Allen's words, "Luo Xi, you are really enviable. How did you do it? How did you get Magic Mirror Journal to publish your manuscript?"

Luo Xi did not reveal that it was Catherine who provided the assistance. This was requested by witch Catherine, probably because she did not want other apprentices to bother her.

In conclusion,

This incident immediately pushed Luo Xi to the forefront of public opinion. Many apprentices even speculated privately whether he was the illegitimate son of a certain boss. This really made Luo Xi, who always liked to keep a low profile, feel annoyed for a while.

Fortunately, this kind of discussion did not last long, as a more explosive piece of news in the castle attracted everyone's attention -

Someone from the same period of apprentices has been promoted to senior apprentice! "Extra, Extra, Joshua has successfully condensed the seventh rune and officially promoted to senior apprentice!"

"Advanced Apprentice! Joshua has been promoted to Advanced Apprentice!"

"Did you know? The fourth-level genius Joshua has condensed the seventh will rune and has been promoted to a senior apprentice!"

As a genius with fourth-class talent, Joshua has attracted much attention since the moment he entered the castle, and he lived up to expectations and demonstrated his extraordinary and amazing talent along the way.

He was the first one to condense the Rune of Will, and the first one to be promoted to an intermediate apprentice. His cultivation progress was always the fastest among his peers.

At this point, it was no surprise that he became the first to be promoted to a senior apprentice.

In fact, this news itself is not surprising. After all, in everyone's mind, he is definitely the one who will advance the fastest.

But when the moment really comes, most apprentices still have mixed feelings.

"This is too scary. I haven't even condensed the fourth will rune yet, but others have already condensed seven will runes."

"Is this the fourth-level talent? It's really despairing..."

Being able to enter the Elemental Castle is itself an outstanding existence among the apprentices. Although everyone knew from the beginning that Joshua was a genius, many people were still not convinced by this. They always thought that they could catch up with him if they worked harder, and even if they couldn't catch up, the gap would not be too big.

However, when this astonishing gap was laid bare before everyone's eyes, everyone came to deeply understand what the innate gap was.

I have to say, this really dampens enthusiasm.

Castle, restaurant.

Luo Xi leisurely stuffed a spoonful of mashed potatoes into his mouth. The food in the cafeteria was not delicious, but this kind of mashed potatoes was an exception. It was made from high-quality black potatoes from the forest outside, and mixed with dew collected by the forest goblins. It had the unique refreshing taste of potatoes, and a hint of the fragrance of the forest. It was quite delicious.

"Complete a gourmet food tasting, time +3 days."

Across from him, the listless Allen looked at Luo Xi who was feasting on his meal and couldn't help but said, "Hey, Luo Xi, why do you seem to be fine?"

Luo Xi asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Allen frowned: "Joshua has been promoted to a senior apprentice, don't you know?"

Luo Xi was even more confused: "I know."

Allen was speechless and said, "Don't you feel deeply shocked?"

Rosie shrugged, "It's okay."

Allen covered his forehead and said, "I thought that as a favorite of the mentor, you would also be competitive, but now it seems that I was wrong. You are simply a salted fish."

Haha, this evaluation is quite accurate.

Aina beside him nodded in empathy: "I used to think that the gap between me and Joshua wasn't that big, but now I know that talent is so important."

Nicole sighed: "I'm just an advanced apprentice. I haven't even reached the threshold of a mid-level apprentice. We all came in together."

Among the apprentices, Luo Xi was probably the calmest in the face of this news.

That's true. With the system in his possession, he doesn't have much pressure in training. Joshua's fourth-level talent is enough to bully ordinary apprentices, but it is still a little worse than him. You know, he has already condensed eight runes.

In addition, Luo Xi has the life experience of two lifetimes after all, and his way of thinking about things and problems is more mature than that of ordinary apprentices. The so-called competitiveness basically does not exist in him.

He comforted her, "Okay, don't be so depressed. I'll treat you all to a meal later. Let's go to the Green Goblin Tavern."

The Green Goblin Tavern is the most upscale tavern on Goblin Street. Luo Xi has heard that one can eat many things there that he cannot get in the cafeteria, so he has long wanted to go and broaden his horizons.

Alan immediately perked up: "Green Goblin Tavern? Is this true?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The place was famous for being extravagant and expensive. It was said that just one meal would cost dozens or even hundreds of magic stones.

Luo Xi said seriously: "Do you still want me to swear?"

The notice to enter the inner castle came yesterday. As an apprentice with full marks in two subjects, he received the highest treatment offered by the inner castle, with a magic stone subsidy of as much as two hundred per month.

In addition, there will be a considerable amount of royalties from the Magic Mirror Journal, the reward for destroying the black wizard, and the windfall he accidentally made when he went out before. Luo Xi's dry wallet was suddenly filled up, and he would feel a little embarrassed if he didn't express his gratitude.

Alan was shocked and immediately hugged Luo Xi: "Dad!"

Luo Xi rolled his eyes: "Go away."

A few people were about to leave the restaurant after a fight, but at this moment, a voice came from behind them.

"Roshi."

Luo Xi turned around and saw a boy walking towards him. It was Lu Ze, with whom he had a conflict and even a fight before.

Alan immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Luo Xi. He was a guy who believed in the doctrine of chivalry. As a companion, he had been upset for a long time because he could not go to the battlefield with Luo Xi when he had a conflict with others last time.

Seeing this, Lu Ze quickly stopped and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not looking for trouble."

Allen raised his fist and said unceremoniously, "That's a pity."

Luo Xi pushed Alan, who was clearly looking for trouble, away and stepped out to ask, "What's the matter?"

Although there had been a conflict, he actually had no ill will towards this classmate. After all, he was the one who beat the other instead of being beaten last time.

Lu Ze hesitated for a moment, looking a little embarrassed.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind: "You"

"Can you lend me some magic stones?"
