Chapter 7: Am I Suddenly Stupid?
The quiet environment made Ivan very grateful to the caretaker, Mrs. Pince, and the library's prohibition of loud noises was indeed necessary.
As a basic theory book of Transfiguration Charms, the difficulty of "The Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" is not very high, but the thick pages are obviously not something that can be read in a short time.
An hour passed in a flash, Ivan's hand only turned a little more than a third of the page, and after thinking about it for a while, Ivan continued to look down at the book, and by the time he finished reading the whole book, another hour and a half had passed.
After reading it for more than two hours in a row, when Ivan put down the book, his mind was a little groggy.
These old magic books usually like to add some strange words that are babbling and unclear, and it seems that this is the only way to show the mystery of magic, which makes people like Ivan who are used to learning modern books very uncomfortable.
"Maybe this is a wizard," Ivan muttered to himself, thinking that this rather metaphysical way of thinking might be the talent of wizards.
Anyway, he can't understand!
[Ding, after a period of careful reading, you feel that the "Beginner's Transfiguration Guide" is boring and difficult to understand, and the proficiency of the Transfiguration Spell has increased slightly.
Note: Reading progress of "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration": 27%]
The system prompt that sounded in his head was once again unexpected by Ivan, because the prompt was not triggered when he read the textbook during class.
Do you want to read it all?
Ivan suddenly noticed the difference, he hadn't finished any magic books before, and this should be the difference.
With an idea in mind, Ivan turned to complaining about the system's beep that was indistinguishable from the game log.
Ivan felt that after reading the book, although there were some things he didn't understand, it wasn't boring and incomprehensible, right?
Twenty-seven percent of the reading progress, Ivan can understand.
Anyone who has read the book knows that reading it does not mean that you will be able to memorize all the knowledge in the book and use it freely, otherwise when you take the exam, wouldn't everyone be able to get a full score?
"Now let's see how powerful the so-called Xueba experience card is." Ivan muttered to himself in a low voice, and then spent a hundred points to redeem the Xueba experience card.
[Remaining time: 00:59:59...]
For a moment, Ivan felt as if something had exploded in his brain, and the knowledge he had learned recently and the content of the books he had read seemed to be pouring out, and they were classified and summarized in just half a minute, and all kinds of thoughts gradually became clear...
It's like getting used to a worn-out old computer and suddenly replacing it with the latest one.
A minute later, Ivan opened his closed eyes and gently brushed the cover of the book "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" with his right hand, although he had not yet opened it, what he had read before had already surfaced in Ivan's mind.
Originally, it felt obscure and difficult to understand, and the words and phrases that were chattering seemed to have a new way of interpretation in combination with the context.
As the basic book used by Hogwarts to teach young wizards, the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" must have been revised many times, concise and concise.... At least for wizards.
By the time Ivan opened the pages of the book and revisited it, Ivan had actually roughly understood the content of the book, and all that remained was to re-read the places that he had not understood before.
Page 3, Chapter 2... Page 7, Chapter 13...
Ivan's hand flicked rapidly on the Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, and the index of reading progress in his mind increased rapidly....
In just twenty minutes, Ivan had already finished reading the whole book.
[Ding, after a period of careful reading, you feel that the "Beginner's Transfiguration Guide" is simple and clear, there is no challenge at all, and the proficiency of the Transfiguration Spell has greatly improved.
The Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration Reading Progress: 100 percent!
Reading Reward: 5 GPAs]
[Transfiguration has reached level 1, current proficiency (12/200), 5 GPA points will be awarded]
At the moment when Ivan put down the book, two prompts rang in his head.
It is worth mentioning that the upgrade of the transformation spell, Ivan did not feel anything, neither the upgrade effect of a golden light in place, nor the other improvement effects.
It's just that after understanding the principle of the Transfiguration Charm, Ivan feels that it is no longer a problem to release the Transfiguration Charm, at least the trick of turning a match into a silver needle is already easy for Ivan.
Even holding the wand in his hand, which is not very bright, will not affect his performance, at most the effect is slightly weaker.
This is the same as Ivan had guessed before, and the proficiency and increase will not directly increase his strength, but are more equivalent to showing his strength through proficiency.
Seeing that there were about thirty-seven minutes left before the expiration time of the Xueba experience card, Ivan did not stop at all, and quickly sprinted to the bookshelf and picked up the latest copy of "Detailed Explanation of the Principles of Basic Spells" and flipped through it.
As soon as he bought it, Ivan felt that the book was thicker than he had imagined, and the content of the book was the analysis of common magic spells, as well as some conjectures about the composition of magic power.
This kind of purely theoretical book, if it were changed at other times, Ivan would probably find it boring, but this time it was quite energetic to read, and even the system prompt sound that sounded in Ivan's mind halfway, Ivan didn't care, and immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.
However, Ivan, who was halfway through the book, suddenly changed his expression slightly, and he felt that his originally clear brain seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist, and his thoughts were forcibly interrupted.
This feeling is like being frightened and forcibly holding back when you are releasing water.
Am I suddenly stupid?
Ivan looked at the detailed explanation of the spell principle in front of him with some blankness, and it was a little difficult to adapt to the change in his IQ for a while.
It wasn't until he stood in place for a while that Ivan reacted, gently tapped his somewhat dizzy head, and took a closer look at the time when there were originally thirty more minutes left on the Xueba experience card had passed.
Ivan looked at the unread pages in his hand, and unwillingly opened them again, but the other half of the content seemed to suddenly become esoteric and difficult to understand, and the efficiency of reading was reduced several times at once, which made it difficult for Ivan, who had experienced the bonus of the Xueba mode, to accept.
After reading a few pages, Ivan sighed and put down the book in his hand.
After experiencing the Xueba mode for an hour, Ivan had a deep understanding of the power of this exchange.
This is not just a matter of increasing the learning speed several times, including the overall improvement of comprehension ability and thinking ability, which can fully turn a scumbag into a scholar or even a god-level existence!
There is almost no problem of learning knowledge that cannot be understood, in short, just learn!
