Chapter 102: The Gray Side Unlocked, Brain Capacity
"By the way, what's your name?" Leipby asked, craning his neck.
"Lin Wei," Lin Wei responded loudly.
The small boat gradually sailed away, leaving only a group of wizard apprentices on the shore, the sea breeze gently blowing and ruffling their clothes.
"That name sounds familiar. Is it that newcomer? A knight?" A wizard apprentice remembered, stroking his chin as he pondered.
"It seems so, there was news about him about six months ago," another wizard apprentice chimed in.
"No wonder, so this big guy is the one Kaia was talking about. No wonder he had the courage to go to sea alone." Leiby paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "But the path of a knight is ultimately limited, and my junior brother's wizarding talent seems to be quite average."
"Lin Wei, I'll remember you. I hope you stay in the Endless Sea and never come back."
Embarrassed by his blunder in front of a group of wizarding apprentices, Umby blushed with shame and his eyes were filled with resentment. He rode away on his broom, which drew a crooked line in the air.
Onco is his older brother, who has the potential to become the next first-ring wizard. He is highly regarded among wizarding apprentices and is also a substitute teacher for dark magic courses. Onbi has been able to take advantage of his brother's reputation to bully others. At this moment, he hates Lin Wei to the core.
……
At that moment, on the sea, the waves gently lapped against the hull, making a rhythmic sound. Lin Weijing sat on the deck and cast a thin, transparent line into the air, which drew an arc.
"Why do I feel like I've become a fisherman?" Lin Wei muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Lin Wei was holding a book and starting to review, holding a thin thread in one hand and turning the pages with the other, his expression focused.
"Once I become a second-ring wizard apprentice, I can start learning simple witchcraft. A single spell requires dozens of magic factors, which a third-rank wizard apprentice simply cannot afford, and the stability of the spellcasting is also lacking." Lin Wei closed his eyes, sighed, and frowned slightly. "Moreover, as my strength increases, the speed at which I absorb elemental factors will become slower and slower. There are quite a few scholars in the Wizarding Council researching this problem now. If I can figure it out, I can live a worry-free life by collecting taxes on intellectual property rights."
Half an hour later, the thin thread in Lin Wei's hand began to sway, and the amplitude of the sway increased.
"Huh? Sea creatures have appeared." Lin Wei's eyes lit up, and his spirits instantly lifted.
Lin Wei pulled hard, and a nearly one-meter-long octopus was pulled up, baring its teeth and claws as it lunged at Lin Wei's face, its tentacles flailing wildly in the air.
"Don't hit someone in the face!" Lin Wei shouted.
Lin Wei immediately enveloped himself in the Yellow Rose Breathing Technique, instantly transforming into a thorny rose over four meters tall, its thorns gleaming with a cold light, pointing at the onrushing octopus while chanting incessantly.
Suddenly, several strands of seaweed appeared out of thin air on the octopus and began to entangle it. The octopus struggled violently, flapping its arms in the air a few times, crushing the seaweed, and continued to pounce on Lin Wei aggressively.
"It can stimulate the seeds it carries; that's the wonder of plant respiration," Lin Wei muttered to himself. "However, its power is indeed only so-so; I estimate its power would be much greater on land."
Lin Wei changed his form into a silver-armored lion. With agile movements, he pinned the meter-long octopus under his claws, gripping it tightly and repeatedly slamming it against the deck.
Boom boom boom!
The deck was banging and rattling.
The octopus was dizzy from Lin Wei's attack and instinctively tried to escape, its tentacles flailing wildly.
"As expected of an octopus, it's much smarter than other sea creatures," Lin Wei said with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration.
However, Lin Wei suppressed him tightly, and it took him a while to kill him completely.
"Snap!"
With this kill, the gray facets of the Rubik's Cube in Lin Wei's mind were completely unlocked, and he began to piece it together.
"It's done! This octopus has provided a lot of progress," Lin Wei muttered to himself, a look of surprise on his face.
"Buzz!"
As the gray faces were unlocked, the Rubik's Cube in Lin Wei's mind began to rotate continuously, and soon, lines of new text information appeared before his eyes.
"What is this? My panel properties?"
Lin Wei's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, his face filled with shock.

Lin Wei looked at each item one by one, his brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing, trying to understand the information on the panel.
"Brain capacity... rules, that seems pretty impressive." Lin Wei muttered to himself, tapping the panel lightly with his fingers, his eyes filled with thought.
"The 'Koi Body' is probably a physique that comes from my Koi Breathing Technique," Lin Wei said, stroking his chin and nodding slightly.
"I think I can understand everything, except for these knowledge points. What are knowledge points? And what does 'convertible' after element factors mean? Does it mean convertible using knowledge points?" Lin Wei frowned even more, crossed his arms, and pondered for a long time, but still didn't understand. He kept muttering to himself.
"This gray surface helps me better understand my own strength." Lin Wei scratched his head, his face full of puzzlement.
Just then, the transparent thread started to sway again. Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he stared intently at the thread.
A stone fish more than a meter wide leaped out of the sea and bit at Lin Wei's thigh. Lin Wei stood there, his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly agape, unable to react for a moment.
"This is... cheating!" Lin Wei came to his senses and was about to make a move when he saw lines of text messages appear in front of him.
【Name】Spiky Stonefish

[Radiation Level] Second-Class Wizard Apprentice

"Weak level, knowledge point, hard bone spurs." Lin Wei muttered to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face. "It matches my understanding of stonefish. So this thing is called a spiked stonefish."
"The effect of this gray surface is to scan myself, then scan the sea creatures, and it should be able to cover other monsters. In the future, when facing enemies, at least I will know myself and my enemy. I just need to deal with these bone spikes carefully." Lin Wei grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and chuckled.
