After being promoted to a level 12 mage, Joan's intelligence attribute increased by 1 point, reaching an exaggerated 43, one spell slot was added for the 5th and 6th rings, and the comprehensive spellcasting level was increased from 22 to 23, all of which were expected.
What surprised Joan was that after this upgrade, his strength, agility, and physique attributes were all increased by 1 point.
As a mage, Joan gains an additional intelligence attribute for every four professional levels, but even if the spellcasting profession reaches the legendary level, it is reasonable to say that the physical attributes will not be improved, so where do these three physical attributes come from? come here?
Frowning and thinking for a long time, Qiao An suddenly realized.
The newly added attributes of strength, agility, and constitution have nothing to do with his mage profession, but a sign that he is fully matured physically as a 17-year-old man.
When a person is just born, he is just a fragile baby, and the three physical attributes of strength, agility, and constitution are of course far from the average human level (10 points).
Life continues to grow and develop, babies gradually become teenagers, and their physical fitness is also constantly strengthening, but there is still an obvious gap compared with adults.
Before today, Qiao An's body was still in the juvenile stage, still immature.
Until now, this body has fully developed without his knowing it, and the newly added strength, agility, and physical attributes are actually a recognition of this growth process, and can also be regarded as a kind of "adult reward".
Life is not an infinite cycle of reincarnation. Life is like a one-way ticket. Everyone has only one chance to become an adult.
Adulthood means that the body has reached its full potential, and how long this full bloom can last varies from person to person.
For individuals with self-discipline, good health and no bad habits such as alcoholism, drug abuse, staying up late, whoring and gambling, the peak of the body can usually last for 10 to 20 years, that is, the entire "youth" stage, when people reach middle age, Physical fitness began to gradually decline.
In the old age, the body is obviously aging compared with when it was young, and the strength, agility and physical attributes will decline to varying degrees. At the same time, the life experience and wisdom accumulated over the long years will also bring spirit to the elderly. The attribute rewards can be regarded as some consolation for the passing of youth.
After figuring out this link, Qiao An felt a little sadness in his heart.
Growing up is always accompanied by troubles. Being an adult means taking on more social responsibilities, but he has not yet thought about what kind of job he will pursue in the future, nor has he seriously considered marrying a wife and having children to start a family.
Compared with other precocious peers, Qiao An has to admit with shame that at the age of seventeen, his mentality is actually the same as when he was fourteen or five years old. What is mature is only his body, and his mind and thoughts still remain in the boyhood.
If it was possible, Joan really hoped that he could get rid of the law of the passage of time, never have to grow up, and still be a teenager until he died.
But this is just an unrealistic delusion, one day I will end up with gray temples and wrinkled face.
Thinking of this, Joan suddenly felt a sense of urgency, no one can stay in the past forever, it's time to seriously consider his future.
Joan got up from the bed, opened the desk drawer, and found the teaching appointment letter given to him by Dean Franklin last year. As long as he signed his name, he would be the youngest professor at Midgard University tomorrow.
In the same drawer, there are two invitation letters, one from Canaan University of Bethlehem and the other from Far Eastern National University of Korrasberg, both of which invite him to study and visit.
If Joan is willing, he can get tenure-track positions at these two universities with just a nod of his head—in fact, he only needs to do the research he is interested in, even if he does not take a class.
Qiao An read all three letters of appointment, but still couldn't make up her mind.
"Could it be that my whole life is doomed to just hang around on the university campus?"
This unwilling thought prompted Qiao An to put the three appointment letters back in the drawer and reconsider her career plan.
In any case, I was still young, so there was no need to rush to make a decision. Maybe I could find a place to settle down outside the university campus.
Qiao An felt that he could set the "university" as the last "refuge" in his life. No matter how miserable he was in the future, with the academic achievements he had made, he could at least find a decent teaching position. Besides, I am not short of money, and I don't need to find a way out for Daoliang.
With this "guarantee" option, Joan felt that he might as well leave the campus at the right time and go out for a adventure. The world is so big, and increasing knowledge can't just rely on books.
After locking the drawer, Joan returned to the bed, yawned, and fell asleep with longing for the future.
...
In Midgard in early September, there was still a trace of hotness in the night wind, but Joan dreamed that he was in a white field on this late summer and early autumn night. shivering.
Standing on the snowy field, Joan looked around in a daze. He didn't know where it was, and he couldn't remember how he got here. Everything in front of him seemed extremely strange.
Just when he was at a loss, there was a sudden heavy panting sound in his ears.
Joan turned his head and looked through the wind and snow, vaguely seeing a lone figure running wildly on the snowy field. The back looked familiar, but he couldn't remember the name of the other party for a while.
