68 You Decide (2/2)

Another four days passed in the game, then he finally completed the derivative spell Character Proficiency.

Excited, Roland wasn't in a rush to cry for joy. Instead, he held a book in his hands and lost himself in reading it.

The book's title was Meditation Techniques and Important Cautions.

This was also the specialty that Roland wanted to learn the most right now. Before he arrived at Delpon, Falken told him that this was a specialty skill specific to mages and one that must be learned.

The so-called Meditation Spell was, in essence, the combined application of mental power and spirit.

Enter a calm state between sleep and awareness by sitting cross-legged or lying down, then condensing mental power, one would be able to enter their own spiritual world.

Afterward, they would be able to mobilize their own mental power and form a mental world within their spiritual world.

Since it was a mental world, one could transmogrify the majority of the physical scenery of the world in the game.

Most importantly, one could conduct magic simulation experiments that wouldn't cause any substantial harm to one's own body and spirit.

This Meditation Spell was easy to explain but hard to do.

For the majority of people, after they entered a state of calm, they would immediately fall asleep. Roland was no exception to this. He tried four times, and once he emptied his mind, he would start snoring in less than three minutes.

And then, he would be forcibly ejected from the game world, because after players entered the game, they were already sleeping.

It was absolutely impossible to be in a state between sleep and consciousness, this in and of itself was a paradox.

Moreover, Roland couldn't help but think it was a little similar to lucid dreaming.

However, Meditation Spell simply had the addition of using mental power.

Could it be that we players can't learn this Meditation Spell?

Although Roland had this thought in mind, he still tried many times and succeeded in none of them, unfortunately.

After the gaming time for the day was over, Roland got up from the immersive cabin. He first went to upload the Character Proficiency node model illustration onto the forums, and then he went to the game's suggestion and bug feedback section and explained the effects of the Meditation Spell. He said in his post, ”We players are essentially already lucid dreaming, so it should be impossible to enter another kind of state of sleep, right?”

Afterward, he closed his computer, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and ate breakfast.

When he was halfway through his breakfast, his phone rang. He thought it was Schuck calling, but once he checked his phone, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Seeing that it didn't seem like a disturbing advertisement number, he picked up the call.

Soon, a feminine-sounding male voice came from the other end of the phone. ”Hello, may I ask for Roland?”

”This is he, and you are?”

”I'm World of Falan's head planner, Ma Huajun[1], you can call me Old Ma.”

”Oh, hello, Mr. Ma.” Roland was somewhat surprised, thinking that this person might be a swindler.

”We've investigated the bug you submitted, it is indeed a problem.” Ma Huajun's voice sounded unusually clear through the phone. ”Now, we have two courses of action. The first is to change Meditation into an active support specialization. For example, after activation, the next few spells will increase in damage or have their effects amplified. The other is to change it to a passive skill. For example, while out of combat, one will speed up mental power regeneration. Because you discovered this bug, we thought that you should decide whether or not to change it into an active specialty or a passive specialty.”
