Zhang Yi said somewhat strangely, "So Liu Lao Da has a magic book? Then why doesn't he use it?"
As a loyal subordinate, Zhang Yi didn't even know that their boss had such a thing.
"Tsk, it's a magic book, but it depends on what profession it's for. Initially, he bought a magic book, but then he found out it was left by an Arcane Constructor, and of course, he didn't want to use it himself."
"Why? Isn't an Arcane Constructor a type of mage?"
Someone nearby patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder: "I've told you to pay more attention in class. An Arcane Constructor is the most complex type of mage, requiring a vast amount of knowledge and the ability to construct their own skills. You could say that the skill construction of an Arcane Constructor is the most complex, though the power is also the greatest, very few people choose this profession."
"Regular mage professions can be called scholars, but to excel as an Arcane Constructor is like being a scientist. Initially, when Liu Lao Da bought mage items, he was clearly cheated."
A glint of determination flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes: "Damn bastards, daring to deceive Liu Lao Da, they're asking for death."
"Alright, calm down. Open the translation, don't let others suspect anything."
At this moment, Jiang Hen was already captivated by the magic book in front of him.
Taking the blue-covered magic book from Liu Wen, a message appeared in Jiang Hen's mind.
"Detected a class change item, profession: Arcane Constructor, compatibility: 100%, do you wish to change class?"
Although Jiang Hen had heard the discussion of the people around him, he was still very excited. He didn't know what this compatibility meant, but a perfectly compatible profession should be very suitable for him.
As for the scholar and scientist stuff, forget it, he would consider that later.
"This is the only chance. If I don't change class this time, I doubt these people will let me use other types of magic books in the future. I must gain the ability to protect myself in a short time."
Jiang Hen gritted his teeth and decided to change class, but of course, he couldn't do it directly.
"Um, I'm not sure what this magic book is about, can I try it out?"
Liu Wen waved his hand: "Of course, no problem. Since I've given it to you, it's yours. Feel free to try it."
As he spoke, Liu Wen's eyes were fixed on Jiang Hen, and the others also quietly turned their gazes. This was an important sign to verify whether the person in front of them was truly related to mages.
If this guy dared to deceive them, they wouldn't let Jiang Hen off.
Jiang Hen took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down so he wouldn't be too excited.
Then, he held the magic book in his left hand, ran his right hand over the cover, and muttered something only he could understand.
"Is this a magic incantation? It sounds so strange."
"We're not mages, who knows? Captain, do you know?"
The team leader, Justin, shook his head: "Mages are inherently mysterious, so it's not strange for them to have some special incantations."
Gradually, everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Hen, and the atmosphere around them began to change. However, this atmosphere had nothing to do with magic; it was purely a psychological change.
Jiang Hen's peripheral vision scanned the surroundings, and when he felt the time was right, he immediately chose to change class.
In the next moment, the entire magic book began to glow, emitting a blue-purple arcane light that enveloped Jiang Hen. The magic book then started to disintegrate, turning into light particles that dissipated.
The light around Jiang Hen grew stronger and stronger.
"How does this look like a class change?"
"Shut up, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak. Class change is a capability we have, can a native have such an ability? This must be a way to use the magic book."
"Definitely. I've heard that many magic items have strange methods of use. Besides, the signs of a class change aren't always the same; it just looks like it now."
Several people discussed and came to a conclusion.
However, Jiang Hen didn't have the time to consider the surroundings. He felt himself bathed in a very refreshing sensation, a mysterious power flowing through his body.
His entire body began to strengthen under the influence of this power, and finally, the power surged toward his head.
He felt a pain in his brain, and this power opened a special space in a mysterious area of his brain. Then, a large amount of arcane energy surged into this space, gradually gathering.
At the same time, a large amount of basic knowledge and professional knowledge appeared in Jiang Hen's mind.
"So this is what an Arcane Constructor is. Indeed, it's quite complex. But why is the compatibility so high? Could my research ability be that strong?" Jiang Hen felt like he had been tricked.
But there was no choice. If these people discovered he was deceiving them, who knew what they would do.
Travellers are a group of living disasters, completely indifferent to the lives of natives. This was a conclusion Jiang Hen had drawn from countless novels he had read.
So, he had to continue the act.
When Jiang Hen opened his eyes, a glint of arcane light flashed in them.
"How does it feel?" Liu Wen asked excitedly. The person in front of him was definitely related to mages. Perhaps he was hiding his true strength, pretending to be an ordinary person.
Jiang Hen rubbed his head: "Haha, just some basic knowledge, nothing important."
Although Liu Wen was somewhat disappointed, he also felt a sense of relief. Indeed, as he knew, class change items were mostly basic, and when changing class, some basic knowledge would be imparted.
It seemed this person didn't value these things, which made Liu Wen a bit disappointed.
He had lost a precious item, even though he couldn't use it himself.
"Sorry, I ruined this book. I'll compensate you with another one in the future," Jiang Hen said with a sheepish look.
"Not at all, it was a gift to you," Liu Wen said loudly, pretending to be magnanimous: "Jerry, you really surprise me. This book has been in our hands for so long without any use."
"Ha ha ha ha." Jiang Hen lowered his head: "You say so much, but you don't refuse my compensation." He said this in his mind.
But it was just talk. As for compensation, wait and see, maybe in the future.
"Alright, let's eat first. We still have a long journey ahead after the meal." Seeing that it was already late, Justin hurriedly called everyone to prepare for the meal.
