Everyone started eating with their own thoughts, while Jiang Hen silently chanted in his mind: "Panel, come out, panel, come out."
Previously, Jiang Hen had noticed that these people always tapped at the empty air in front of them, leading him to suspect that it was something like a panel. However, he had tried it himself before, and nothing had appeared.
But this time was different. As soon as Jiang Hen had the thought, a translucent panel suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jiang Hen was startled and quickly controlled himself to avoid making any big movements. He pretended to eat while quietly scanning the people around him, and found that no one could see the panel. Only then did he feel relieved.
To be honest, he had been really worried that those穿越者 (time travelers) could see the panel.
Then, Jiang Hen focused on the panel.
Name: Jiang Hen
Occupation: Arcane Constructor
Talents: Skill Construction Master, Endless Knowledge
Level: 1st Rank 1 Star (1%)
World Crystals: 2
Skills: Basic Meditation Technique
1st Rank: None
Pets: None
Items: None
The panel's attributes were simple, but the appearance of the panel meant endless possibilities.
"Occupation is Arcane Constructor, which is correct, but there are two talents. Am I special, or do others also have two talents? Are there even more talents?" Jiang Hen thought quickly.
Then, Jiang Hen focused on his talents.
Skill Construction Master is a special talent that helps construct skills. Ordinary Arcane Constructors need a lot of knowledge and research to construct a skill.
But he didn't seem to need that. Skill Construction Master could simplify this complex structure. As long as he used World Crystals to replace it, he didn't need to learn so much knowledge or understand so much.
Similarly, the more knowledge he had, the more intricate the spell diagrams he could create, and the fewer World Crystals he would consume.
"No wonder the compatibility is 100%. This talent is really suitable for me. With this ability, the difficulty of constructing skills is at least reduced by a hundred times, and it might even be more convenient than ordinary mages learning spells."
Jiang Hen hadn't seen other mages, but he could understand some basics from the knowledge in his mind.
The knowledge injected into his mind during the class change was actually a kind of enlightenment.
Next, Jiang Hen focused on the second talent, Endless Knowledge.
"Turns out this is a talent that helps with learning. This further reduces the difficulty of constructing skills."
Endless Knowledge is a passive talent, purely for learning. With this talent, Jiang Hen could remember anything he saw, apply it in various ways, and even deduce knowledge.
If used for research, it would reduce the difficulty by at least several dozen times compared to others.
If he had had this ability earlier, being a scientist wouldn't have been bad.
Besides the two talents, the next thing was World Crystals. World Crystals are used to influence the world, and the greater the influence, the more World Crystals one gets. His two World Crystals were probably from the influence on the people in this team.
World Crystals are not just used to supplement talent abilities; the most important thing is that they can be used to bring people or items back from this world. Of course, bringing people consumes more.
The stronger the person and the higher the item's level, the more it would cost to bring them out.
However, being able to bring things out means he has the ability to leave this world.
"Great, I wonder what world I'll go to after I leave. Is it the same world they came from, or my original world?" Jiang Hen's thoughts started to get a bit chaotic.
After a long time, Jiang Hen's mood gradually calmed down.
He then looked at the last useful thing, the Basic Meditation Technique in the skills section. This was also included in the basic knowledge. This basic meditation technique is used to enhance one's mental and magical power.
He could learn it instantly because of his Endless Knowledge talent.
If it were someone else, even with the knowledge, it would take some time to learn.
"Improving my level can be done by completing tasks or killing targets to gain energy. When the energy is full at the current level, whether I can break through depends on myself. It's not just about accumulating enough to break through."
Jiang Hen quickly understood everything about his occupation to prepare for the future.
"As a mage, researching new skills can also improve me, and the improvement is significant. Learning skills only improves me a little. I wonder about other occupations; they might have similar abilities."
While thinking, Jiang Hen didn't stop eating the not-so-tasty roasted meat.
"Brother, what's wrong? Not to your taste?"
Seeing Jiang Hen not speaking, Liu Wen came over again.
"Haha, not that it's not to my taste, just a bit lacking in seasoning, that's all."
"Such a picky person, but the conditions here are simple. When we get back, I'll treat you to a big meal. I just wonder if your master will cause any trouble."
Liu Wen started probing again.
"It's fine, I'll go with you. My master let me out this time for training."
So that's why they hadn't been attacked by mages on the way. Although everyone was a bit relieved, they were also a bit disappointed. If they had a powerful mage with them, their mission would have been much easier.
"Oh, I see. No problem, as long as we're here, your safety is guaranteed."
Liu Wen was a bit disappointed; it seemed he wouldn't meet that old mage.
"It's fine. If we can't meet this time, we can always come back to this world. The school has a secret realm gem for this world, and once we have enough credits, we can come back. Let's build connections now and talk about it later."
"Right, you're right. Let's build connections first. We're too weak now. Even if we meet that powerful mage, we won't get any benefits."
Jiang Hen's lips curled slightly. "This is what you said, not me."
"Rest time is over, let's continue." After everyone finished eating, Justin immediately shouted to the team.
The soldiers in the team quickly got up and finished preparing in the shortest time. They were truly a disciplined elite team.
"I wonder how dangerous this mission will be." Jiang Hen muttered to himself, looking around. They probably wouldn't let him leave, so he could only follow them with a stiff upper lip.
