The quiet environment made Ivan very grateful to Madam Pince, the librarian; the rule forbidding loud noises in the library was indeed necessary.
As a basic theoretical book on Transfiguration Charms, 'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration' wasn't particularly difficult, but the thick pages obviously couldn't be read in a short amount of time.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Ivan had only flipped through a little more than a third of the book. After considering it for a moment, Ivan continued to bury himself in the book. By the time he finished reading the entire book, another hour and a half had passed.
After reading continuously for more than two hours, Ivan felt a little dizzy when he put down the book.
These ancient magic books usually liked to add some mystical and inexplicable strange words, as if only in this way could they show the mystery of magic, which made Ivan, who was used to modern books, very uncomfortable.
"Perhaps this is what a wizard is," Ivan muttered to himself, feeling that this rather metaphysical way of thinking might be the talent of wizards.
Anyway, he couldn't understand it!
[Ding, after a period of serious reading, you find 'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration' boring, difficult to understand, and hard to comprehend. Your proficiency in the Transfiguration Charm has slightly increased.
Note: 'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration' reading progress: 27%]
The system prompt that sounded in his mind once again exceeded Ivan's expectations, because he hadn't triggered a corresponding prompt when reading textbooks in class before.
Could it be that you have to finish reading it?
Ivan suddenly realized the difference. He hadn't finished reading any magic book before, and that should be the difference.
After having an idea in his mind, Ivan turned to complaining about the system's prompt tone, which was no different from a game log.
Ivan felt that after reading the book, although there were some things he didn't understand, it wasn't to the point of being boring, difficult to understand, and hard to comprehend, right?
Ivan could understand the 27% reading progress.
Anyone who has read a book knows that finishing it doesn't mean you can remember all the knowledge in the book and use it freely. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone get full marks during exams?
"Now let's see how powerful the so-called Genius Experience Card is." Ivan muttered to himself in a low voice, and then spent one hundred points to exchange for the Genius Experience Card.
[Remaining time: 00:59:59]
In an instant, Ivan felt as if something had exploded in his brain. The knowledge he had learned recently and the content of the books he had read seemed to be constantly pouring out, and within a short half minute, they were classified and summarized, and all kinds of thoughts gradually became clear.
This feeling was like switching from a worn-out old computer to the latest model.
A minute later, Ivan opened his closed eyes, and gently stroked the cover of 'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration' with his right hand. Although he hadn't opened it yet, the content he had read before had already appeared in Ivan's mind.
The originally obscure and difficult to understand, mystical words and sentences seemed to have a new way of interpretation when combined with the context.
'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration', as a basic book used by Hogwarts to teach young wizards, must have been revised, refined and concise many times, at least for wizards.
When Ivan opened the book and relived it, he had already roughly understood the content of the book. The rest was to reread the places he hadn't understood before and had simply skipped.
Page three, Chapter Two, page seven, Chapter Thirteen...
Ivan's hand flipped through 'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration' quickly, and the index about the reading progress in his mind also increased rapidly.
In just twenty minutes, Ivan had reread the entire book.
[Ding, after a period of serious reading, you find 'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration' simple and clear, with no challenge at all. Your proficiency in the Transfiguration Charm has greatly increased.
'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration' current reading progress: 100%!
Reading reward: five academic points]
[Transfiguration has reached level one, current proficiency (12/200), reward five academic points]
It is worth mentioning that Ivan did not feel anything about the upgrade of the Transfiguration Charm. There was no special effect of upgrading with a golden light on the spot, nor did he feel any other improvement effects.
It was just that after understanding the principle of the Transfiguration Charm, Ivan felt that casting the Transfiguration Charm was no longer a problem for him. At least, turning a matchstick into a silver needle was easy for Ivan.
Even holding that not-so-bright wand would not affect his performance, at most the effect would be slightly weaker.
This was as Ivan had guessed before. The increase in proficiency would not directly improve his strength, but was more like expressing his strength through the way of proficiency.
Seeing that there were still about thirty-seven minutes left until the expiration time of the Genius Experience Card, Ivan did not stop at all. He quickly sprinted to the bookshelf and picked up the nearest book, 'Detailed Explanation of Basic Spell Principles', and started flipping through it.
As soon as he got it, Ivan felt that this book was thicker than he had imagined. The content of the book was an analysis of commonly used magic spells, and some guesses about the composition of magic power.
If it were at other times, Ivan would probably find this kind of purely theoretical book boring, but this time he was quite interested in reading it. Even the system prompts that sounded in Ivan's mind in the middle of the way, Ivan did not pay attention to them, and was wholeheartedly immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
However, Ivan's expression suddenly changed while reading the book, and he felt that his originally clear brain was as if covered with a layer of white mist, and the constantly emerging thoughts were forcibly interrupted.
This feeling was like being frightened by someone when you were letting water out to your heart's content, and forcibly holding it back.
Did I suddenly become stupid?
Ivan looked at the Detailed Explanation of Magic Spell Principles in front of him with some confusion, and for a while, he found it difficult to adapt to the change in his IQ.
It wasn't until he stood there for a while that Ivan reacted, gently knocked on his somewhat dizzy head, and took a closer look. The time of the Genius Experience Card that had originally had more than thirty minutes left had passed.
Ivan looked at the half-unread pages in his hand and reopened them unwillingly, but the other half of the content seemed to have suddenly become profound and difficult to understand, and the efficiency of reading suddenly dropped by several times, which made Ivan, who had experienced the blessing of the Genius mode, unable to accept it.
After reading only a few pages, Ivan sighed and put down the book in his hand.
After experiencing an hour of the Genius mode, Ivan deeply understood the power of this exchange.
This is not just a matter of increasing the learning speed by several times, but a comprehensive improvement of understanding ability and thinking ability, which is completely capable of turning a scumbag into a genius, or even a god-level existence!
There is almost no problem of not being able to understand when learning knowledge, in short, just learn!
