Chapter 473: White Tower's Resource Prioritization
“Not all high-level creatures can be targets for 【Prayer Summoning】. One of the prerequisites for a high-level creature to be summoned is that both parties need to have a medium connection recognized by the 【Contract Law】—
“This connection can be based on bloodline, or it can be emotional. In short, only high-level creatures with goodwill towards the ritual initiator can respond to the 【Prayer Summoning】 ritual—
“Of course, if your summoned target is not from the 【Primary Material World】 but a high-dimensional creature from the 【Spirit World】, this restriction does not exist. If you are lucky, perhaps even the 【Lord of the Spirit Realm】 might respond to your summoning—
“It’s just that this possibility might not even have a one in ten thousand chance—
Under White Cat Tifa’s explanation, the two-and-a-half-hour class quickly ended.
It must be said that although White Cat Tifa’s appearance seemed a bit “humorous,” her teaching standard was no worse than that of other wizards.
Even if limited by her cat form, preventing White Cat Tifa from personally performing many ritual gestures, she could still demonstrate gestures by skillfully manipulating the 【Wizard's Hand】, which did not cause any delay.
“Rustle—”
As the sound of turning pages echoed again, Jia Na, having completed today's class, returned to her dormitory.
“I can finally relax today.”
Due to a temporary adjustment in the schedule, Jia Na had no other classes today except for one 【Advanced Contract Studies】 course. Taking advantage of this free time, she prepared to try out the 【Prayer Summoning】 ritual while the knowledge was still fresh.
“It’s still early, I can go have breakfast first—then exchange for the materials needed for the 【Prayer Summoning】 ritual.”
Thinking this, Jia Na, after a simple wash-up, put on her wizard robe and quickly left the dormitory.
White Tower, Fourth Floor.
“Hmm? What’s with this discount?”
After having breakfast in the White Tower’s second-floor cafeteria, Jia Na immediately went to the resource exchange area on the White Tower’s fourth floor.
At this moment, looking at the “30% off” text behind each item listed on the magic crystal wall, Jia Na’s eyes flashed with a moment of confusion, followed by full surprise.
“Could it be that this is also one of the ways the White Tower prioritizes resources?”
Thinking this, Jia Na immediately adjusted the magic crystal wall page to the 【Plane Source】 column. Sure enough, the contribution points required for each 【Plane Source】 were also discounted by 40%.
Just like the 【Earth Origin】 Jia Na received for free from the White Tower, after the discount, Jia Na only needed seventy thousand contribution points to exchange for it.
“It’s just a pity that all 【Plane Source】 still show as out of stock, and I don’t know when they will be restocked—”
Although it was a bit regrettable, Jia Na also learned from Richard-Eva’s letter that the White Tower’s 【Plane Source】 would be restocked at the beginning of each month.
And Wizard Apprentice who wanted to exchange for 【Plane Source】 could only pre-order resources on the third-to-last day of each month. Of course, whether they could successfully pre-order depended on individual luck.
“I wonder how Richard is doing now—”
Richard-Eva, relying on his mastery of the 【Blood Law Fragment】, successfully passed the White Tower Trial a year ago, entered the White Tower, and successfully gained the recognition of a 【Fallen Star】.
As an old friend and fellow countryman whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Jia Na received a letter of greeting from Richard-Eva as soon as she arrived at the White Tower. However, because he was still on a mission, Jia Na would not be able to see him for a short period.
But thankfully, Jia Na’s messenger was quite capable. Even if Richard-Eva was in another Plane, God Walker - Hermes, with his scarecrow appearance, could still accurately find his location and deliver Jia Na’s letter to him.
“Ms. Tifa, I want to exchange for these materials.”
“Hmm? You want to try it out so soon?”
With just a glance, White Cat Tifa, who had just finished teaching Jia Na the 【Advanced Contract Studies】 course, guessed her intention to try the 【Prayer Summoning】 from Jia Na's application list for ritual materials.
“Yes, after all, practice is the best way to learn—and this is for you.”
Saying that, Jia Na took out an exquisitely designed, elegantly embroidered rose-pink bow tie from her wizard robe pocket and presented it to White Cat Tifa.
“This is a new necktie launched by 【Psychic Jewelry】 this year. I thought it suited you very well, so I decided to bring it to you—”
Looking at the bow tie accessory in Jia Na’s hand, White Cat Tifa, who had been lying on the floating book, uncharacteristically sat up.
“How did you know I like this brand?”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, then said with a smile:
“I didn’t know you liked this brand; it just so happens that I am the spokesperson for 【Psychic Jewelry】, which is why I chose this brand.”
Hearing Jia Na’s words, White Cat Tifa didn’t say anything, but simply used 【Wizard's Hand】 to accept Jia Na’s gift.
“I’ve accepted the item, but I only accept items; I don’t help.”
Watching White Cat Tifa put away the bow tie accessory, Jia Na’s face still held that polite and proper smile.
“I chose this bow tie simply because I thought it suited you; I had no intention of troubling you.”
When Jia Na said this, her eyes were full of “sincerity,” without the slightest hint of flattery.
Seeing this, White Cat Tifa, who had received the gift, simply nodded nonchalantly, then withdrew her scrutinizing gaze from Jia Na.
“The materials you exchanged for will be delivered to your dormitory by the Spark Sprites—I wish you success in your practice.”
“Okay, thank you for your blessing.”
Looking at White Cat Tifa, who had returned to lying on the book, Jia Na thanked her and then left the resource exchange area on the White Tower’s fourth floor, returning to her dormitory, without disturbing her further.
“Ms. Tifa said that the choice of ritual location is also very particular, especially for the 【Advanced Contract】 ritual; it’s best to choose a place where the ritual practitioner feels safe—”
Thinking this, Jia Na pondered for a moment, then, after putting away the ritual materials in the fireplace, immediately closed her eyes and projected her consciousness into 【Zoey Star】 in her spiritual sea.
“Speaking of the place that makes me feel safest, it’s here.”
Looking at the boundless ocean in 【Zoey Star】, for some reason, after Jia Na decided to try the 【Prayer Summoning】 ritual,
It was as if a voice deep within her kept calling her to this place.
