I’m Going to Be a Wizard

A bunch of bootlickers.

Xu Zhi gave a faint smile and thought to himself, “But I like it.”

With only fifty slots made available, naturally, demand exceeded supply. This was a situation that ended up with not enough food to go around.

Xu Zhi was a student from a famous elite university. He had once spent a great deal of time and effort on nothing but studying.

He was indeed gifted with the talent to do well in his studies but being able to make it in life as he eventually did was naturally not without hard work. As a student who came from the countryside, all he did during his school days was study. Basically, he had never played any game before, which explained why he was seized with such crazy ideas now, as though he was losing all sense of control. “You don’t even have expert knowledge of evolution, yet you also want to play the game?”

Let the world feel the pain.

He was no longer the same man he had been before.

And he was no longer going to indulge those players who were treating the game so casually. He had to make them feel the sense of urgency. He wanted to create a species that could eventually help him to evolve the universe. This was going to be the team behind the scenes.

He wanted to put this group of players in the sandbox through a test of the survival of the fittest. He would make those with the most profound knowledge do the most tedious work for him!

“Now, let me see, what’s the standard of these people like?” Xu Zhi sat before the computer, in a relaxed manner, he randomly clicked on a thesis. As the big boss behind the scenes, as the Great Creator, naturally, he needed to understand the level of capability of his staff.

The thesis was titled as follows:

“An Evolutionary Conjecture of a Hollow-Spine Bird Species With a Biological Structure In the Form of a J-20 Fighter Jet!”

This was a long-winded thesis, nearly ten thousand words in total, comprising text and graphics. There were accompanying diagrams of DNA structure, as well as schematic diagrams of the anatomy to explain the process of the biological evolution. The thesis cited quotes from the classics, and there were well-founded reasons to justify the feasibility of this conjecture.

Scary!

Simply too frightening!

Xu Zhi sucked in a breath of chilly air.

How long had it been? Only God would know what these people had been through! They could actually write such a highly professional thesis that was so profound and unfathomable, with so much specialized knowledge that he did not even understand. The entire essay was so abstruse that it was killing him to read it.

He thought that this was just an exceptional case.

He clicked on another email and found that it was another ten-thousand-word thesis report that was ten pages long. The text and graphics were incredibly detailed.

“A Conjectural Evolution Theory: Analyzing the Structure of Electric Eels to Evolve Lightning Birds!”

Xu Zhi sort of realized that these people had really lost their minds. They were a hundred times more serious than he had been in college. Back then, when he had to write academic papers as assignments to be submitted to his tutor, he also frantically looked up information to come up with constructive conjectures.

When it came to gaming, they were dead serious!

Xu Zhi could not understand this thesis either. In the end, he could only enlist the help of the Insecta Nest mind to help him with the screening process.

He did not bother about those who found someone to write the thesis in their stead. If they were not capable enough, then they would be eliminated sooner or later. After all, this game comprised an end-elimination system.

“It seems that this side of the ‘Land of the Origin of Life’, the birthplace of all the transcendent creatures, things, is getting on track soon.” Xu Zhi looked at the miniature sandbox in the yard.

“Brothers, work hard!”

“Don’t let the others take your spot.”

There was a bunch of little ants, who had gained courage from previous humiliation. They knew that by the rule of natural selection, it was survival of the fittest. So they were frantically evolving and competing with the other species because they did not want to be kicked out of the game and lose their beta tester slot.

Tomorrow morning, the results of the screening process should be out.

At that time, there would be a complete changeover. He was really looking forward to the results of their evolution.

Xu Zhi was quite satisfied with the situation on this side and turned to look at the other side where the large sandbox world was. It had been more than a day ago since he had been in to pass down knowledge. For them, it had been more than a hundred years, and their civilization was beginning to take shape.

For the Babylonian tribe, the past hundred years or so had been a period of unparalleled peace and insane growth.

Back then, the three witches were on the verge of fighting each other to death at the Emiya Pool. But with the appearance of the God of Wisdom, Hermes, the tension in the atmosphere was suppressed again.

After listening to Hermes’ words and seeing his display of divine skills, as well as learning about the blueprint for a bright and better future, the three of them began to study and research industriously. They also began to pursue the power of longevity and immortality, as well as the three sets of knowledge of alchemy, meditation and sorcery.

In the 36th year of Babylon, the three witches completely mastered the method of cultivating their power through meditation, and their psychic power grew by leaps and bounds. They compiled a book entitled, “The Beginning Level of Meditation and Rudiments of Sorcery”, which they conferred on the other witches.

The tense relationship between the three witches was thus relieved.

The orthodox way of comprehending the spiritual meditation method far surpassed Circe’s method of yielding to her spiritual indulgences. Pressured by the other two witches, Circe stopped victimizing the men in the tribe. She got her act together, settled down, and became an orthodox witch.

In the 47th year of Babylon, one of the strongest species of giant beasts, the Beast of Barbuk, attacked the tribe.

The three witches fought a long, arduous battle. In the face of life and death, Medea had an epiphany and created the Air Hammer of War with the use of sorcery. The intangible air hammer fell from the sky, destroying a vast expanse of trees, cracking the ground, and killing the Beasts of Barbuk. This was how Medea, the witch in charge of disorderly battles and glory, stepped into a new realm bathed in blood.

In the same year, Cassandra had an epiphany about the world while planting herbs. She comprehended the magic that could heal all pain and wound and developed the Nectar of Spring.

The following year, Circe had an epiphany about evil sorcery and created the cursed voodoo doll.

In the 57th year of Babylon, sorcery flourished. The three witches completely perfected the three major systems they had each developed. At this point, they were quite accomplished in meditation and sorcery. However, they had yet to master the legendary mysterious alchemy that held the Truth of the World and were earnestly seeking it out.

In the 103rd year of Babylon, a breakthrough was achieved. Now, it had more than ten tribes with thirty powerful witches.

The three great witches of Babylon pioneered several complete sets of spells and compiled everything into “The Gate of Truth of the Witches”, which recorded seventeen kinds of spells. The witches fought with wooden staffs in hands, conquering the Great Forest of Pattuchyner and sweeping out all the powerful giant beasts.

Everywhere they went, the howls and wails of giant beasts could be heard.

The 139th year of Babylon saw the founding of the nation of Babylon. It became the first year of the Babylonian state, and the three witches ruled the world in three divisions.

The following year, there was internal strife within the Babylonian palace. The people were plunged into an abyss of misery. The witch, Circe, displayed a terrifying prowess as she pitted herself against the other two witches. The Witch of Devastation, Circe, escaped after her act of rebellion. Together with the witches who were her followers, the group fled to a distant land where she established a church for her cult, the”Thorn of the Rose”.

At this point, Babylon fell into the first year of a period of unrest.

Xu Zhi was feeling very emotional as he stood on the chair and observed them for a while through his binoculars. Then he quietly put his binoculars away.

On his side, only a short period had passed since he had accompanied Chen Xi to her class reunion, completed the integration of the sandbox the other players were in, and issued a notice. And on this side, the side of the sandbox world, more than a hundred years had passed, and there were many wars erupting, thus giving rise to many turning points.

“I knew it. Circe has been most reluctant to resign herself to fate.”

Xu Zhi smiled faintly and said, “Circe had pretended to succumb to the orthodox meditation method of cultivation on the surface, because it was three or four times much faster than her crude approach. But secretly, she could not bear the long and lonely nights.”

All these years, Circe had secretly yielded to her lustful indulgence like mad because she simply could not resist the temptation of her desires. It was just that she had not been discovered.

As to why she had not been discovered?

Because there were not many men left in the tribe, so she no longer dared to do anything to them.

Her spiritual cultivation, which she had secretly honed all these years, gradually overpowered the other two again. Then behind their backs, she had corrupted a group of witches and led them onto the path of degeneration with her. They no longer kept their chastity and no longer obeyed the Three Iron Laws of Witches. They became fallen dark witches.

Right after the establishment of the nation, Circe finally could not take it anymore and started preying on men again. After all, she had been relying on the use of Evil Eyes for so many years and it was just too unbearable. She needed normal men, and gradually, men of the tribe began disappearing.

Medea and Cassandra started investigating. A great war broke out and Circe defected!

Xu Zhi did not want to pay too much attention to war and enmity. He only focused on the progress of civilization. “Meditation and sorcery have appeared. Unfortunately, that mysterious and elusive alchemy, as well as potions, have yet to form systems.”

He was feeling the rush in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. This was not something he could hasten, so he could only force himself to slowly calm down.

Since they have already opened up the path, can I start practicing the meditation and sorcery methods according to the path they have created?”

Xu Zhi found it interesting and laughed. “The foundation of their entire civilization was built on the spiritual genes of Evil Eyes. Wise Nest mind, integrate these genes to my genetic strand, the genes of Evil Eye.”
