Chapter 803 Credit Card

Joan did not disappoint Hailaer, and nodded slightly.

"A better strategy is to prepare a spell that specifically restrains the effect of fear before the conflict with Peridon."

Holden's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "For example, the level 2 spell 'Tranquillity'? I can do this!"

Joan nodded.

"Stable Mind" does have the effect of suppressing fear, but this spell can only temporarily suppress it, but it cannot completely dispel the effect of fear.

Moreover, there is another disadvantage of "Stable Mind", which is that it is only effective for creatures within a certain range around the caster. If the friendly army is too far away from the radius of the spell radiation, it will fall into panic again.

Joan does know a third-level spell, which is more effective in restraining fear than "stable mind", but he hasn't learned this spell yet.

After lunch, everyone agreed to meet at school the morning after tomorrow, and then join Arnold's team to participate in military operations.

Joan returned to campus alone after breaking up with three friends.

There were still two days before the military practice began, so he decided to go to the library and copy the third-level spell that was specially used to counteract the effect of fear.

Use the buffer time of the next two days to learn a few more new spells, and make full preparations for dealing with the Peridon clan in Bailun Mountain.

Over the past month or so, Joan has spent almost every day in the library from morning till night, checking periodicals.

Compared with Leiden College, Midgard University has one advantage, that is, it does not require students to pay fees for accessing periodical and paper books, which can be regarded as encouraging students to study by themselves in disguise.

But borrowing spell scrolls still inevitably cost money.

Since entering school, this is the second time that Joan has visited the scroll borrowing room on the second floor of the library.

Recalling the first time I checked the scrolls, I, a "old hat" from the countryside, didn't understand the latest magic reading equipment, and stared at the equipment interface in a daze.

Looking back now, Qiao An couldn't help but feel hot.

Fortunately, what you learn is what you learn. Joan skillfully touched the mirror, called up the catalog of scrolls in the collection, and after a careful comparison, selected 3 scrolls.

After hesitating for a minute, he still couldn't control his unruly right hand in the end, and couldn't help but choose another arcane scroll.

Back at the counter, Joan submitted his borrowing application.

After a short wait, the librarian brought him four neatly bundled sheepskin scrolls.

"Mr. Vader, four 3-ring arcane scrolls, the total borrowing fee is 1,200 Gold Duga, will you pay by check or credits?"

The senior sister who works part-time in the Alpha library has a smile on her face and a kind attitude.

Joan was slightly taken aback.

After being reminded by his senior, he realized that he still has a lot of credits in his hand, which can replace cash to pay the borrowing fee.

"Please wait."

Joan opened his storage bag and took out a cardboard card covered with a secret seal.

Each card is as big as a poker card, with exquisite patterns printed on it, and the official seal of the principal, which represents a credit, and the purchasing power in the school is equivalent to 100 Gold Duga.

The cards are divided into two styles, the white ones are "internship points", and the sky blue ones are "academic points". There is no difference in the face value of the two cards.

Qiao An participated in the expedition practice in the ancient abyss and got 20 practice points.

The paper scheduled to be published in the core journal "Arcana Review", "A Brief Analysis of Arachnoids in the Underdark Region", can also bring him 20 academic points.

However, the thesis has not yet been officially published, and Joan has not yet received the academic points equivalent to the 2000 Gold Duga Scholarship.

Joan took out 12 white cards, together with his student ID card, and handed them to the administrator, signaling to pay with "internship points".

The senior sister took the card and counted it skillfully.

Then he opened the drawer of the counter and took out a magic device that looked like a binocular. First, he pointed the objective lens at Joan's student ID card, pressed a switch, and the lens shot out a beam of magical light.

Then, the administrator moved the camera away, and the light beam shone on the card, making a beeping sound, as if to verify the authenticity of the card.

After irradiating all 12 cards, the senior sister put away the cylindrical tester, made a record in the account book, sorted the cards afterwards, and returned them to Joan with a smile.

"Senior sister, the credit card...doesn't need to be recycled?"

Joan inquired curiously.

"No need to recycle. When I verified the authenticity just now, I have stamped on the card. Your student status information, the time and place of consumption of the card, what products you bought, and other necessary information are all included in this It's in the little magic imprint."

"That is to say, the consumption quota of these 12 cards has been emptied and can no longer be used to buy things. I keep it for myself and just keep it as a souvenir?"

Joan got to the bottom of it.

"It is true that there is no purchasing power, but it is not necessarily useless to say that it is completely useless."

The senior sister patiently explained to him.

"These used cards are like invoice stubs, which represent that you once owned these credits. When you graduate in the future, they can be used as proof of meeting the graduation standards, so you should keep them well."

Finally, the senior sister added a few more thoughtful words.

"In case the card is lost, you can report the loss and apply to the school to reissue it, but it's a bit troublesome."

"If someone picks up your lost card, because the student status and the encrypted information on the card don't match, they can't use it for shopping. It's like a piece of waste paper."

Joan nodded suddenly. After thanking the senior sister, she took the spell scroll and turned to the reading room next door.

The windows are bright and clean in the spacious hall, no less than 200 people can be seated, but the atmosphere is very quiet.

Everyone is concentrating on reading and copying notes. When they had to talk with others, the students also consciously lowered their voices, trying to avoid disturbing other students, reflecting the quality and good education that college students should have in this era.

Joan sat down at an empty table by the window, resting his chin on one hand, lost in reverie.

If I find a credit card lost by someone else, should I return it to the owner, or try to decipher the imprint of the secret method, forge the student status information, steal other people's credits, and spend them quietly?

Deciphering and forging the imprint of magic encryption is of course very difficult.

But only from a technical perspective, there is indeed a possibility of successful cracking.

Qiao An was fascinated by the cracking technology, and couldn't help being fascinated by it.

After a long time, he suddenly came to his senses, feeling deeply ashamed that he had such immoral thoughts, and his ears felt hot.

Taking other people's lost property as his own, is this what a college student from a prestigious university should do!

He shook his head, and quickly pushed these mean thoughts out of his mind.

After dispelling distracting thoughts, Joan returned his attention to the spell scroll on the table.
