After being promoted to the 12th-level mage, Qiao'an's intelligence attribute increased by 1 point, reaching an exaggerated 43, 5th and 6th spell slots were added by one, and the overall spellcasting level was increased from 22 to 23, all of which were expected.
What surprised Qiao An was that after this upgrade, his strength, agility, and physical attributes were all increased by 1 point.
As a mage, Qiao Ann gains an extra point of intelligence for every four professional levels he upgrades. However, even if his spellcasting class is promoted to the legendary realm, he will not increase his physical properties. So where do these three physical properties come from? Where is it?
Frowning for a long time, Qiao An suddenly woke up.
The added strength, agility, and physical attributes are actually not related to his mage career, but a sign that, as a 17-year-old man, his body has fully matured.
When a person is born, he is just a fragile baby. The three physical attributes of strength, agility and physique are of course far below the average level of humans (10 points).
Life continues to grow and develop, babies gradually become teenagers, and their physical fitness is constantly strengthened, but there is a clear gap compared with adults.
Before today, Qiao An's body was still in the juvenile stage, still showing immature.
Up to this moment, this body has fully developed and matured without his knowing it, and the added strength, agility, and physical attributes are actually the ratification of this growth process and can also be regarded as a kind of "adult reward."
Life is not an endless cycle of reincarnation. Life is like a one-way ticket. Everyone has only one chance to grow up.
Adulthood means that the body has grown to its heyday. How long this heyday can last varies from person to person.
For individuals who are self-disciplined in life, healthy and do not have bad habits such as alcohol abuse, drug abuse, staying up late, and gambling, the peak of the body can usually last for 10 to 20 years, that is, the entire "youth" stage. People reach middle age. Physical fitness began to gradually decline.
In the old age, the body is obviously aging compared to 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 during the long years will also bring spirit to the elderly. The attribute rewards can be regarded as a little consolation for the passing of youth.
After figuring out this link, Qiao An felt a touch of sadness.
Growing up is always accompanied by troubles. Being adult means having to shoulder more social responsibilities, but he has not yet decided what kind of work he will engage in in the future, nor has he seriously considered taking a wife, having children, and starting a family.
Compared to other younger 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. It is only his body that has grown and matured, and his mind and thoughts are still stuck. Boyhood.
If possible, Qiao An really hopes that he can get rid of the law of the passage of time, never have to grow up, and still be a teenager to death.
But this is just an unrealistic delusion, and one day he will eventually turn white on his temples and wrinkle on his face.
At this point, Qiao An suddenly felt a sense of urgency. No one could stay in the past forever. It was time to seriously consider his future.
Qiao An got up from the bed, opened the desk drawer, and found out the faculty appointment letter that Dean Franklin gave him last year. As long as he sign his name, he will be the youngest professor at Midgard University tomorrow.
In the same drawer, there are two invitation letters, one is from Bethlehem University in Canaan, and the other is from Far East National Colasburg University, both of which invite him to study tours.
If Qiao An is willing, he can get tenure at the two universities with just one nod—in fact, he only needs to do the research he is interested in, even if one class is not available.
Qiao An has read all three appointment letters, but still can't make up his mind.
"Am I destined to spend my entire life only on the college campus?"
This unwilling thought prompted Qiao An to put three appointments back into the drawer and reconsider his career plan.
In any case, I am still young and there is no need to make a decision in a hurry. Maybe I can find a place to settle down outside the university campus.
Qiao An feels that he can set the "university" as the last "refuge" in his life. Even if he is miserable in the future, with the academic achievements he has achieved, he can at least find a decent teaching position. Moreover, I am not short of money, let alone find a way out for Daoliang.
With this "guarantee" option, Qiao An feels that he might as well leave the campus at the right time and venture out, the world is so big, the increase in knowledge can't just gnaw on books.
Locking the drawer, Qiao Ann returned to the bed, yawned, and fell asleep with hope for the future.
...
In Midgard at the beginning of September, there was still a trace of heat in the night breeze, but Qiao Ann dreamed that he was in a white field on this night of late summer and early autumn. The biting chill accompanied the snowstorm all over his body. Trembling.
Standing on the snowy field, Qiao An looked around blankly. He didn't know where it was, and couldn't remember how he got here. Everything in front of him seemed strange.
Just when he was at a loss, a heavy gasp suddenly came from his ears.
Qiao An turned his head and looked through the wind and snow, and vaguely saw a lone figure running wild on the snowy field. His back looked a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember the name of the other party.
