In the past, Jia Lan had studied under a martial arts guard of the academy and systematically learned the fighting techniques of "unarmed strike" and "wind combo".
Although Jia Lan did not have the fighting spirit that martial artists practiced, these techniques were effective enough as a means of physical exercise.
In his time, mages were not weak and sickly. Even if they were not known for their fighting power, they were often equipped with simple weapons such as wooden sticks, daggers, and crossbows in adventure activities in case of emergency.
In actual combat, mages usually avoid unnecessary use of high-energy spells such as "explosive fire" to avoid endangering the safety of the entire expedition team due to the exhaustion of arcane energy at a critical moment.
Even Jia Lan's previous teacher, despite the heavy laboratory work, still insisted on taking an hour every day to run and exercise on campus, and repeatedly emphasized to Jia Lan: "A strong physique is the basis for long-term arcane research."
This concept is deeply rooted in Jia Lan's heart.
Given that large-scale arcane experiments may last for weeks or even a month or two, although meditation can partially replace sleep, poor physical condition will seriously affect the progress of research.
In addition, Jia Lan was unable to devote himself to arcane practice for a long time in the early days, so he spent a lot of time on physical training.
The warrior guard who taught Jia Lan fighting and combat techniques once pointed out that if he had not focused on the arcane field, he might have been evaluated in the adventure guild or mercenary guild and obtained the status of a first-level combat professional.
Although lacking the support of fighting spirit, Jia Lan found that "Wind Combo" was still quite effective in actual use, although the opponent was relatively weak in "group free fighting".
At the same time, the operation of the library book bar has been put on the right track and is properly managed by increasingly skilled girls.
Students of the Science and Magic Academy often come here in their spare time to enjoy a glass of fruit smoothie, hold a book in hand, and spend a whole day leisurely under the autumn sun. This has become a fashion trend.
Even if they want to relax, students often gather in groups of two or three to occupy a corner of the book bar and play the business chess game "Science Monopoly" or the card game "The Struggle of Two Peasants and the Evil Lord".
These two tabletop games designed by the new librarian are gradually becoming popular on campus.
Every Dragon Breath Week (10 days), new rules or new gameplay will be released, attracting a large number of school operators.
They found that these seemingly inconspicuous tabletop games can effectively extend the customer's stay time, thereby bringing in more consumption than expected.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
However, the inventors of these games have registered them with the "Seven Continents Private Rights Protection Federation", and any unauthorized profitable production and use will be subject to legal sanctions.
The federation was jointly established by the powerful lords of the seven continents to protect the value of private specialties in the territory, and its authority even exceeds the city councils.
No one dares to infringe on the rights of others for personal gain, otherwise they will face severe punishment after the owner complains to the federation.
In addition, small gadgets related to the book bar were also registered. With their characteristics of "novel, unique, and trendy" and their attributes that conform to the student consumption culture, they attracted a large number of students' attention and gradually formed a cultural trend in "KoMo University".
The corner of the college that was once remote and deserted has now become one of the most lively areas.
To ensure that borrowers are not disturbed, the book bar has replanned the reading area and entertainment area to meet the needs of different customers.
Although the library book bar is now very large, there are too many students at the University of Science and Technology, and there are still not enough seats.
In order to find a seat, students who don’t have classes have to go early every day to reserve a seat. If they are late, they can only sit on the lawn or farther away.
Although reading or playing games is not affected, the face-saving magic apprentices always feel a little embarrassed.
So, the book bar launched a membership system.
Members can reserve seats in advance, and senior members can reserve a table, even if people don’t arrive, they will be kept.
It’s really face-saving to have a fixed seat in the book bar.
Imagine that you walk through a group of classmates who can only sit on the grass, and then sit down elegantly in your reserved seat, which will definitely attract a lot of envious eyes.
You can even invite the girls you like to enjoy a warm and romantic afternoon together.
If you don't like crowded places, you can spend some money to find a specially decorated seat in the quiet Wizard of Oz area, such as next to lavender, in small-leaved trees, or under vines.
If you are willing to spend more money, you can also rent a small tree platform surrounded by a low fence and with a sunshade, or simply rent a tree house as your secret base. No matter when you come, you can enjoy thoughtful service.
However, if you want to rent a tree platform or a tree house, ordinary members are not allowed to do so. You must upgrade to silver or gold members.
Many student groups and clubs in the college are competing for tree houses in the Wizard of Oz as activity venues.
This is not only a matter of face, but also related to the status of the club in the college.
If a club does not even have a book bar tree house, how can it go out to interact with people from other clubs?
Fortunately, the ancient forest of the library is very large and the trees are very thick.
The craftsmen carefully designed that two or three or more large and small tree houses can be built on each tree, like a bird's nest in the sky.
In the ancient woods around and behind the library, there are hundreds or even thousands of years old trees.
The craftsmen have been working hard, and the number of tree houses is increasing, which should be enough.
Interestingly, as the book bar becomes more and more popular, some magic professors are also interested in these tree houses with good facilities and thoughtful services, and have booked them as their own private research rooms.
Put some simple experimental instruments in the tree house, so that you can study magic quietly, and notify the waiter to prepare food and drink through the "microphone" in the tree house.
In this way, you won't be hungry like a wolf wandering around the laboratory looking for food when doing experiments until late at night.
This is much better than staying alone in the laboratory.
The simple little device of "microphone" is composed of two cardboard tubes and a thick linen thread, but it can communicate clearly from a distance.
This little thing has even aroused the research interest of many magic professors.
