Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 117 - McGraw’s Choice
Chapter 117: Chapter 117 McGraw’s Choice
Phew!
With Tang Qi exhaling this turbid breath, an entangled hair knot in front of him gradually untangled under the patient guidance of his fingers. This knot was composed of three strands of hair, two black, one deep red.
Without hesitation, as the hair knot unknots, Tang Qi immediately looked into the air in front of him.
As expected, three beautiful figures appeared simultaneously in Tang Qi’s view.
They were three young girls, two of whom appeared to be from the same region or species, with black hair and brown skin, but exuding an aura of vitality and health, while the other girl, had flaming hair and was holding a strangely shaped thin sword.
As Tang Qi’s gaze settled, the three girls almost at the same time came up and each bestowed a kiss on him.
...
“Buzz~buzzing”
He didn’t have time to marvel at his luck this time, as two Information Fragments exploded in his mind, prompting him subconsciously to start digesting.
At the same time, he did not forget to return the favor to the girls.
Amidst the liberating smiles of the three girls, Tang Qi acquired two different types of knowledge.
[You have gained a piece of knowledge!]
[You have learned Plant Recognition!]
…
[You have gained a piece of knowledge!]
[You have learned the Fine Sword Technique!]
“Huh?”
Tang Qi’s surprise, in addition to the fact that none of the knowledge he received this time was linguistics, was also due to the second type of knowledge.
This was the first time he had received combat knowledge.
However, he did not deliberately overlook the first type of knowledge. Compared to the combat knowledge, whose strength was still unknown, the first type, Plant Recognition, was evident from the name alone that Tang Qi could guess; among the knowledge obtained from the Mysterious Hair Tie.
This type could be the most helpful.
[Plant Recognition: A skill that requires extensive practice and learning to master. Learning it can help you quickly identify some dangerous plants, and it is also one of the essential pieces of knowledge required for professions such as Secret Alchemists and Spiritual Plant Cultivators.]
[Information Fragment: Your secret medicine knowledge has been supplemented. When modifying or configuring secret medicines related to plants, the chance of success will increase.]
“Indeed, good news.”
Tang Qi looked at the pieces in his mind, his lips curving slightly upwards.
Those two black-haired girls likely came from some relatively primitive tribe or nation, lacking a formal medical system, which made them overly dependent on various herbal plants, thus cultivating their extensive knowledge in plant recognition.
They donated it to Tang Qi, a significant supplement to his study of secret medicine.
In his delight, Tang Qi turned his attention to the second type of knowledge, combat knowledge.
[Fine Sword Technique: A special sword technique, although its symbolic meaning at birth is much greater than its practicality, with a suitable thin sword, in certain situations, it is still a very deadly sword technique.]
“This sword technique may suit women better?”
Tang Qi silently digested the sword technique knowledge in his mind and then gave a comment.
Regarding combat knowledge, Tang Qi has always been receptive.
However, this Fine Sword Technique indeed tasted a bit marginal, whether taken alone or used in combination with Fog Body, it was far less practical than the Chaga Fighting Technique.
Moreover, to unleash its power, one still needs to find a suitable thin sword.
For close-range weapon combat, Tang Qi was more adapted to his current Bone Blade.
Heige’s Resentment!
Wielding this Transcendent Bone Blade, if Tang Qi were fully unleashed in combat, the damage would be terrifying.
Especially the creatures wounded by Heige’s Resentment, even if it’s a minor trivial cut, would suffer the agony of the Power of Pain.
Compared to that, the Fine Sword Technique lacks competitiveness.
“However, as insignificant as it may be, it is still knowledge, and no wizard would ever feel they have too much knowledge.”
After this exclamation, Tang Qi glanced outside through the window gap.
The hour had already turned to evening.
Tang Qi slightly furrowed his brow; had he only managed to undo one hair knot for the major part of the day?
Was it an abnormal flow of time?
Or was it because of the hair knot?
“It seems, the farther back the hair knot, the harder it is to untie. Correspondingly, the chance of gaining knowledge seems to be increasing. Is it due to the era of the hair knot?”
Tang Qi held the Mysterious Hair Tie in his hand, a guess forming in his mind.
Due to the Spiritual Tide, the closer to the New Calendar, the lower the chances of encountering the Extraordinary, and vice versa.
This meant that, later on, every hair knot Tang Qi unraveled would significantly increase the chance of acquiring Extraordinary knowledge. If so, this could indeed explain why Tang Qi needed an entire day to untie a single hair knot.
Difficulty and reward are always correlated.

“Let’s verify next time, there’s still a loophole that needs to be plugged.”
“If I’m lucky enough, perhaps I could gain an extra subordinate.”
Tang Qi didn’t rush to verify but instead put the hair knot into his pocket, glanced outside at the sky, then stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked towards his workbench.
At the workbench’s freezer, Tang Qi first took out two secret medicines: Ancient Mongolian and Amnesia.
After a pause, he took out another secret medicine from the safe.
Then, he quickly left the building.
He still chose to rent a carriage a few streets away from the campus, stopping at the same place as last time.
…
Inside the spacious carriage, two figures sat opposite each other.
McGraw, his face covered in freckles, sat stiffly, extremely nervous without knowing why; meeting the “Big Shot” again, he should have been joyful, as after completing the Big Shot’s task last time, he received a very generous reward.
Now, perhaps he was about to receive a second task?
As McGraw anxiously speculated, the sound of Tang Qi’s indifferent tone, which revealed neither joy nor anger, reached him.
“McGraw, the first time we met, I asked you to make a choice.”
“Now, you need to choose again, and this choice will determine your future destiny.”
“You only have one chance.”
As Tang Qi’s voice entered his ears, McGraw’s heart began to “thump thump thump” violently; although he was just a little beggar, ever since he made his first choice and successfully completed a task for Tang Qi, he began displaying a certain special aura.
At this moment, he keenly felt an incredibly important decision for his life was abruptly laid before him.
Two potions appeared in his hands.
At the same time, there was also an extremely cold voice, as if merely that of an observer.
“Choose and drink the one in your right hand; you might die, but you might also gain great power, the kind of power truly qualifying you to work for me.”
“Choose the other one, and you will forget everything related to me, but you will also gain wealth beyond your imagination, enough to ensure a worry-free life in your later years.”
“Thump thump thump…huff!”
As Tang Qi’s voice ceased, McGraw’s gaze landed on the two different potions.
Quite strangely, McGraw felt his intense heartbeat suddenly calm down; he seemed to enter a state both abnormal and calm.
Without any hesitation, he immediately made his choice.
