Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 396: Chapter 101: Sudden Change_2

Cloaked in his Destiny Witchcraft “Battle Armor”, with the “Defender 3202” suit inside and the isolator outside, the heavily armed Link stabilized his shape and discovered that he was standing on the rooftop of an abandoned skyscraper.

The Apprentice Team was not far ahead of him.

Under the direction of Lanny Taylor, Luna Colonna, and Gillian Clark, four teams were clear in their duties, either on guard, reconnoitering, gathering information, or filling in gaps.

Peck was already floating in the air, his figure invisible, with only Link seeing some traces.

Link similarly rose into the air without spectacle, rendering himself invisible.

From now on, it all depended on the Apprentice Team’s abilities, whether they could find valuable items whose total value exceeded that of Shadow City.

As leaders of their teams, both Link and Peck were definitely not allowed to interfere.

Though the academy did not explicitly state it, they could easily deduce that any interference by the leaders in the search for supplies would result in deductions.

The main task of the team leaders was to ensure the safety of the Apprentice Team and guard against the Shadow City leaders’ shameless, bullying attacks.

The Shadow City Team appeared on the rooftop of another abandoned skyscraper.

The distance between both sides was not far, intimately visible, looking at each other from across the space.

The actions taken by Christina and her Vice Leader were identical to those on Link’s side.

They were both suspended in the air, invisible, yet following.

After exchanging a glance, the four had no communication, yet there was a certain tacit understanding between them.

For quite a while, neither side would act against the other’s Apprentice Team.

Unless something unexpected occurred, such as one team discovering an item of exceptional value that could determine the outcome of this exchange study in one stroke.

This was the significance of a balance of power.

Having a sword and not using it, and not having a sword at all, were two completely different things.

If only one team had an official wizard following them, or if the team with an official wizard had more official wizards than the other, the balance would be shattered.

Whether the Apprentice Team would suffer a dimension-reducing attack from an official wizard depended entirely on the goodwill of the extra official wizard on the other side.

They could fight if they wanted to, and not fight if they didn’t.

The apprentice team that is intimidated will always be in a state of anxiety.

This would lead to an unequal competition!

(Nucle…)

As the Apprentice Team continued to search downwards in the building, Link saw more and more traces of the previous world.

Somehow, this Ruin world was not affected by time.

More than six thousand years had passed, yet the buildings, decorations, and furniture showed no signs of weathering or decay.

Looking at the familiar styles of decoration, watching the workstations that looked like many small cells, observing the desktop computers, Link felt that he was back in the modern world of the 21st century.

It just seemed like a 21st-century modern world with no people.

Just like in “I Am a Legend”, virus scientist Robert was living alone in the desolate New York, with no one around, no one to respond.

Link recognized that if this Ruin World was really his former homeland, then this just-discovered area was Shanghai!

The skyscraper where he now stood was the world’s third tallest building, the Shanghai Tower.

The skyscraper where the Shadow City team was located was the Shanghai World Financial Center.

In his previous life, Link had never been to Shanghai, but as someone who enjoyed studying all sorts of maps, he had a detailed understanding of Shanghai’s topography and various structures.

As he was reminiscing about the past, a few large maps appeared before Link as he turned a corner.

World map, national map, Shanghai map; they were lined up one by one.

Three groups of the Apprentice Team had already assigned personnel to photograph the maps.

Valuable objects and items included information and knowledge.

He glanced at the three maps, and the name of a building caught Link’s eye and lingered.

Shanghai Planetarium!

Not that the building itself was particularly special, but the words “astronomical” sparked a thought in Link as he remembered the “Universe Meditation Method” he had established.

He was currently missing specific data related to cosmic celestial bodies.

Now that he had the chance, he had to seize the opportunity to collect the relevant data, so he wouldn’t need to “rack his brains” and scrape up memories from his limited knowledge of astronomy in his previous life.

“I’m going to check out some other places. Keep an eye on them.”

No sooner said than done. Link used telepathy to convey this sentence to Peck, then turned and floated toward the fire exit.

He closed the fire door, blocking Peck’s and the Apprentice Team’s line of sight.

Link called out to Franda, sharing all the knowledge he had about Shanghai, including the addresses of the Shanghai Planetarium and some well-known colleges and research institutions, as well as all the memories of his previous life.

Without the need for telepathy, Link was able to communicate with Franda on a mental level.

“Do you understand now?”

“Yes, Master, Franda will surely find the knowledge and information you need.”

Franda patted her little chest, nodded decisively, pledging her word.

“Then go, be careful, if you encounter danger, immediately return to the ‘Small World’, don’t force yourself.”

Link reminded her once more, like a father worrying about his little daughter’s safety as she set off on a long journey.

“Um, thank you for your concern, Master.”

A brilliant smile bloomed on Franda’s face as she happily agreed.

The Master really cares about her.

“Go on.”

“Yes, Master, Franda’s going.”

He watched as Franda turned into a shadow, seeping through the wall of the building, and then transformed into a breeze, immediately drifting toward the first stop, the Shanghai Planetarium.
