Chapter 219 : Explosive Endorsement
Chapter 219: Explosive Endorsement
“Gaa—Gaa—”
Listening to the hoarse caws of the rooks outside, Janna, who had been sitting by the experiment table all afternoon and evening, finally lifted her head.
“Is it this late already?”
Looking out the window at the pitch-black sky, Janna’s eyes ached. She couldn’t help rubbing them with her hand, then summoned the Character Panel and looked toward the [Wizard Skills] section.
“System, upgrade all four of these witchcraft skills to the current maximum level.”
The moment the command was issued, [Thorny Pierce], [Banshee’s Wail], [Psychology Invisibility], and [Memory Reading] all upgraded to the level 29 cap.
Afterward, feeling the hunger gnawing at her stomach, Janna still fetched the extra sandwich she had made at lunch from the fridge and casually ate it.
“Fortunately, with my current Constitution, I won’t get stomach problems like ordinary people. Otherwise, with eating habits like these, my stomach would definitely be in trouble sooner or later.”
In fact, to be more precise, Janna’s ability to maintain flawless appearance and figure under such “no eating, no sleeping” conditions—without dark circles, pallor, or thinness—was mostly thanks to a series of [Character Talents] awarded by the System.
“It’s about time to meditate.”
She stretched her neck. After such prolonged, intensive study, Janna’s mind felt like a tangled mess. After a quick wash, she changed into pajamas and sat cross-legged on the bed.
This time, however, she didn’t start meditating right away. Instead, she reopened the Character Panel and looked at the [Law Authority] entry.
“So far, no matter how I try to comprehend it, the comprehension progress for the [Fragment of the Law of Purification] remains stuck at 1%—”
“It hasn’t moved at all.”
Moreover, if Janna remembered correctly, even that 1% progress came from the Celestial Finch’s evolution, which triggered a soul rebound that boosted her comprehension.
Therefore, Janna now seriously suspected that her method of entering the [Holy Realm of Heaven] daily in spirit form to listen to the Sacred Bell was fundamentally flawed.
Even though the bell’s sound felt deeply mysterious, Janna could never equate this “sense of mystery” with comprehending a [Law].
Because rather than calling it “mysterious,” it might be more accurate to call it “addictive”—
Thinking of this, Janna’s gaze turned to the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty].
Compared to the 1% comprehension of the [Fragment of the Law of Purification], the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty] still sat at 0%.
If Janna still had some vague ideas about how to approach the [Fragment of the Law of Purification], then for the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty], she had absolutely no clue at all.
Although Janna suspected that the key to comprehending the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty] was related to [Charisma], the increase of [Charisma] was entirely dependent on the System’s quest-based point allocation. Without the System, Janna would be very curious about what the proper method of comprehending [Law Fragments] actually looked like.
“The method of comprehending [Law Fragments] is, plainly put, the method for breaking through to become a formal wizard. And the only ones currently in possession of such methods are the Second Tier Wizard settlements—”
In short, Janna still couldn’t avoid the fact that she needed to head to Dordogne–White Tower.
Whether it was for studying advanced courses or obtaining methods to comprehend [Law Fragments], as a mere layman-level apprentice, Janna would only have a chance to access such things by securing a pass to study at Dordogne–White Tower.
“The absolute monopoly on knowledge may very well be one of the ways Second Tier Wizard settlements maintain control over the affiliated Third Tier Wizard settlements...”
And at the same time, it was also an effective means of establishing the order of the Wizard World and maintaining the absolute authority of the wizard settlements.
“Exhale—in—exhale—”
Letting go of the clutter in her mind, with a series of even breaths, Janna’s consciousness gradually entered a state of Deep Meditation.
At the same time, as the [Spirit Phase Travel] talent activated, Janna decided to continue using the “spirit form comprehension” method while maintaining Deep Meditation.
The next day, morning.
Passing through the dense crowd at the cafeteria entrance, Janna, cloaked under [Psychology Invisibility], silently walked up behind Vivian.
“Morning, Vivian.”
“Ah!”
Vivian, who had just been searching for Janna’s figure, was startled by the sudden voice in her ear.
“Janna, you scared me!”
Though Janna was wearing a hood, Vivian still recognized her instantly.
“Your disguise skills are something else—standing this close, I only just recognized you.”
Vivian hadn’t noticed at all that Janna had cast [Psychology Invisibility]. Even now, she thought she hadn’t seen Janna simply because she was wearing a Wizard Hood.
“Let’s not talk about that. Take a look at my new Wizard Robe—what do you think?”
Janna was about to explain, but Vivian veered the topic off immediately.
Soon enough, Janna’s attention was drawn to the white Wizard Robe Vivian wore—identical in both style and fabric to her own Vine Robe, except for the color.
“This is—the spring release from Spirit Communication Group, the Frostflower Robe?”
“Good eye!”
Seeing Vivian’s beaming expression, Janna raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“I remember this Wizard Robe wasn’t supposed to officially launch for another week. I didn’t expect you to get it early.”
Janna remembered so clearly because Julie Anne had just informed her two days ago that she would be stepping onto the stage next Saturday evening as the official spokesperson for Spirit Communication Group’s new product launch.
“Janna, did you know that posters of you in the Wizard Robe have been plastered at the entrances of all the major Spirit Communication Group stores? This new Wizard Robe’s preorders are practically exploding!”
“Is it really that extreme?”
Hearing Vivian’s words, Janna, although aware of her own immense popularity, never imagined that an endorsement for a Wizard Robe could be this effective.
“Of course! Not just in Turin City—I've heard that in Watermarsh City and Turrance City, preorder slots are booked out until next month…”
As Vivian chattered away by her side, Janna, now in the cafeteria, casually picked up a tray for her.
Once the two of them were seated, Janna finally spoke at a measured pace:
“Actually, the reason Spirit Communication Group’s Wizard Robes are selling well is mostly because the product quality is genuinely excellent—I merely added a bit of extra appeal.”
“No way.”
Hearing that, Vivian shook her finger.
“I’m telling you, Spirit Communication Group used to only sell magical accessories. They only started venturing into wizard apparel two years ago. From what I know, they were still operating at a loss as recently as last year—”
