"Ouch."
Field knocked on Gu Shi's head and said, "What are you thinking? I'm not asking you to come up with such a large sum of money right now. I'm telling you about the Mage Tower now so that you can save it slowly later."
Gu Shi touched his forehead. He was also shocked by the number Field said just now. What does tens of billions of gold coins mean? He never dreamed that he could have so much money.
"Even if you say so, teacher, I still feel like there's very little hope."
Gu Shi pinched his fingers. Most of the gold coins he had on him were from Field that time, because the 10 million gold coins given to him at the auction were nothing compared to this huge number.
Field was only so patient with Gu Shi, the student he had chosen himself.
"Aren't you quite confident and perseverant in learning magic? Why do you just want to give up when it comes to this? You have to believe in yourself and take it one step at a time. You can always do it.
And I will also provide you with some help in various aspects. You are not the kind of person who can only figure out the solution by yourself."
Gu Shi took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I will do my best."
Field nodded. "That's right. After all, building a wizard tower isn't something that can be done overnight. You can build the main structure first and then slowly fill it in."
Because building a high-performance mage tower is extremely expensive, many mages who cannot afford so much money at once but do not want to compromise will choose to build a prototype of the mage tower first and then slowly complete it later.
"Aside from the financial aspect, the next thing is the design. When you go back, think carefully about what you want from the future Mage Tower and make a list.
There's no rush, you can take your time to think about it. If nothing unexpected happens, this Mage Tower will be with you for a very long time, so there are many things you need to consider carefully."
Gu Shi answered seriously: "I understand."
Field stood up and said, "Okay, that's all I want to tell you. Let's end our conversation here today."
Gu Shi returned to his bedroom and tossed and turned in bed, feeling a little insomniac.
"Am I somehow burdened with a mortgage in another world? Now I finally understand the sadness of this."
Gu Shi had previously thought that he did not plan to build the Mage Tower because he was going back to Blue Star, but now it seems that the time provided by the system task may not be enough for him to collect all the materials.
The next day, after a night of self-reflection, Gu Shi also sorted out his emotions.
He finally figured it out. Just as Field said, the construction of the wizard tower could be done slowly. He still had plenty of time.
Gu Shi also read the entire list. When he goes out on adventures in the future, he can pay more attention to the materials on it. After all, every penny saved counts.
After breakfast, Gu Shi came to the library on the second floor of the Mage Tower and began looking for the book that Field mentioned yesterday.
"Ah, I found it. This is it."
Gu Shi pulled out a thick book from the bookshelf. It was a tome full of historical flavor at first glance, and quickly turned to the part about the Fountain of Life.
The Fountain of Life, according to legend, gushed out from the heart of the Ancient Silver Spring, a divine artifact bestowed by the gods. It has powerful effects such as healing wounds, promoting plant growth, and enhancing magic power. Adding it as an ingredient to some potions can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the potions.
"Wait, a divine weapon?!"
Gu Shi immediately thought of the silver cup containing the Fountain of Life. It turned out that it was actually a magical artifact. Gu Shi thought it was just a simple space prop.
It turns out that the Fountain of Life comes from that silver cup. No wonder he absorbed so much of it before, but the Fountain of Life showed no signs of drying up.
As Gu Shi put the book back, he muttered, "Who would have thought that the Ancient Silver Spring Heart was actually a cup? This name is so confusing."
After learning all this, Gu Shi thought of the vine snake corpse in the space ring. He returned to the base and handed it to Wang Feng, and also sent some fountain of life over.
In the following days, Gu Shi returned to his peaceful daily life.
More than ten days passed. That night, when Gu Shi was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, he suddenly felt that the wind elements around him became unusually active.
Gu Shi was stunned for a second, then immediately turned his head to look at Shufeng who was lying in the nest beside him. It seemed that Shufeng was ready for his first molting.
Gu Shi held his breath and walked over gently. He saw that the magic power in the magic crystal around Shuofeng was being continuously absorbed by it, and the rich wind element enveloped the entire bird.
This state lasted for about ten minutes, and then accompanied by a long, clear cry, Shufeng spread his wings and leaped out from the embrace of the wind element.
It left two long wind element scratches behind it and immediately jumped into Gu Shi's arms.
"North Wind!"
Gu Shi reached out to catch Shufeng. After it got into Gu Shi's arms, it kept rubbing against him, calling softly while rubbing, as if it was acting coquettishly to Gu Shi.
Gu Shi could only go along with it, and only after Shufeng rubbed against his arms to his satisfaction did he have time to observe its changes.
Gu Shi coaxed softly, "Alright, alright, Shufeng, be good, don't move, let me take a good look at you."
“Chirp, chirp.”
After this molting, the voice of the Shuofeng bird has changed a bit. Although it still has some immaturity of a young bird, it is more powerful and louder than before.
Shuofeng's body has grown larger, and the changes in its feathers are mainly concentrated on its wings. A row of light green flight feathers have grown on the lower edge of its wings, making the whole bird more gorgeous.
Although the tail feathers on the back have not grown out yet, it can be seen from Shuofeng's movements just now that it should have mastered some gliding techniques.
Gu Shi took out the food he had prepared in advance and fed it to Shufeng. Judging from the way it ate the food piece by piece, it must have consumed a lot of energy during the molting process, so it was very hungry.
After feeding, Gu Shidu played with Shufeng for a while, and then prepared to rest.
Although Shufeng has grown a lot in appearance, he is still that clingy little bird in character. After waking up after sleeping for so many days, he wants to stick to Gu Shi all the time.
Gu Shi couldn't do anything about it, so he made an exception at night and let Shufeng snuggle up next to his pillow.
Fortunately, as a magical beast, Shuofeng's IQ is much higher than that of ordinary birds, otherwise Gu Shi would not dare to let a bird that might urinate or defecate anywhere at any time sleep next to him.
"good evening."
