Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Chen Ran Can’t Sit Still Anymore

Power 2.7, Agility 2.6, Constitution 2.8, Spirit 9.4, total 17.5.

There are 2.5 attributes left to distribute, of which 0.6 must be given to Spirit, but considering the potential deviation when using enhancers to boost attributes, it’s better to have Spirit occupy 0.8, leaving 1.7 attributes.

So, which attribute should I assign this 1.7 to for the best result?

For survival, it’s best to focus on Agility and Constitution. In the Difficult Level dungeon, Xia Qingxue encountered a demon with both Power and Agility over 10, and without high enough Agility and Constitution, I’d probably meet a quick demise.

But…

The Spirit Realm trials are not all the same. Not every trial demands direct combat. Xia Qingxue’s trial might also require solo battles, so we can’t ignore Power attributes.

According to the coursework, the Difficult Level trials can yield at least an Elite Level profession. Xia Qingxue’s profession is just Elite, indicating she didn’t accomplish it perfectly. Otherwise, she would have had a chance to get a Lord Level or even a Hero Level profession.

Where did she fall short?

In her account, every step seemed astutely devised, completely avoiding the disadvantages of main battles and using strategy to complete the trial.

Yet, would merely relying on strategy be considered insufficient by the Spirit Realm, or does it lack enough observed prowess? Because there isn’t enough performance score, it reflects that even though she succeeded, her score wasn’t high, resulting only in an Elite Level profession.

Of course, Ye Mingqiu doesn’t think Xia Qingxue did anything wrong. Quite the opposite, he believes Xia Qingxue handled the Spirit Realm trials excellently, perfectly avoiding her disadvantages and completing the trial.

She was just limited by her insufficient strength, unable to attain a stronger profession.

An Elite Level profession is the strongest an ordinary person can reach under normal circumstances, and higher-level Lord and Hero Levels require more Power Talent… or luck.

If Xia Qingxue had ample resources and could buy enough Universal Skill Books before entering the Spirit Realm trials, she’d have had the opportunity to achieve a Lord Level profession.

“Feeling a bit uneasy.”

Ye Mingqiu sighed.

Though he possesses three talents, unfortunately, the Talent Level is not high. Unless unexpected, Lord Level is his upper limit.

The only solution to break this limit is to unlock more talents.

“You think…what’s my condition?”

Chen Ran suddenly inquired.

“Huh?”

Ye Mingqiu turned his head in confusion, not understanding what this guy was suddenly thinking.

Chen Ran rubbed his chin, showing a thoughtful expression, and said, “You know, I’m so handsome, maybe if I hang around outside the Magic System, a cute soft girl, 165 cm tall and weighing 45 kg, carrying a faint girlish scent, might sit beside me with a blush and say: ’It took so long to realize my feelings, senior is really a dummy, so… please date me!’ It’s possible, right? Totally possible, right?”

This goblin has quite an imagination!

Ye Mingqiu couldn’t hold back, laughed, and said, “I suggest you go next door to the Tank System, wear white socks, maybe you’ll encounter a sweet romance.”

“Screw you!”

Chen Ran retorted with a laugh and continued, “Over the past two years, I’ve saved quite a bit of money. If I lived as an ordinary person, life would be pretty easy.”

“Originally, that was my plan.”

“But after watching your growth, I really can’t sit still anymore. Someone who was once slacking alongside me suddenly joined the college entrance exam prep team, and their abilities skyrocketed like a rocket. How could I possibly remain idle?”

“So, what’s your plan?”

Ye Mingqiu asked.

“Spend some money, try hard, and leave no regrets in life… Maybe I can also achieve an Elite Level profession?” Chen Ran smiled brightly, the sunlight perfectly illuminating the youth’s face.

His gaze isn’t fully firm, and the smile has a hint of reluctance. He knows his talent is limited, or he wouldn’t have opted to slack off from the start, but… he’s made a new choice.

“The world of Spiritualists isn’t easy. You used to tell me stories all the time, and now you’re determined? That’s your future living money.” Ye Mingqiu said.

“Yes, so I’m planning to freeload off you.”

“Ah?”

Ye Mingqiu showed surprise, instinctively hugging himself with both hands, looking at him with great caution and said, “What did you say? Still want to freeload off your dad!”

“You still have some Rejuvenation X6 left, right?”

“Just two days’ worth.”

“Give me the extras. Anyway, your Mental Attribute is already close to 10, continuing to use Rejuvenating God can easily overflow Mental Attributes, resulting in losses rather than gains. Plus, the mental side effects of Rejuvenation X6 are also significant. If you continue to use them, it’s hard for you to withstand it.” Chen Ran smiled persuasively.

“Are you sure?”

“I can also pay the market price.”

“It’s not a money issue.”

Ye Mingqiu sighed, slowly began to explain the reason to him.

It’s not that he thinks Chen Ran is unworthy. After all, they’ve been friends for two years, and he’s willing to give it. But the issue is, after truly using Rejuvenating God, Ye Mingqiu knows how problematic it is. Even two days’ worth is enough to cause Chen Ran distress.

He is okay; he can later soak in the Spring of Life to counteract the side effects, but after using it, Chen Ran would have to endure a week or two directly.

“Well, compared to boosting attributes, this bit of pain counts for nothing, and it’s only two days’ worth, the side effects aren’t as severe, I can handle it.” Chen Ran said firmly.

“Alright then.”

Ye Mingqiu casually shrugged, knowing that it wouldn’t be him suffering later, so let it be.

….

After the midterm exams, Ye Mingqiu handed the remaining Rejuvenating God to Chen Ran, while he rested and finished off the Lü Bolong, boosting his Power and Constitution attributes. The effects were outstanding.

However, after using all the enhancers, Ye Mingqiu’s body experienced slight discomfort due to the excessive usage of enhancers in a short time, requiring time for adaptation.

During this period, he couldn’t continue using technological powers, otherwise not only would the efficacy of the enhancers decrease significantly, but it would also lead to severe side effects on his body.

He should have used the enhancers separately…

If Rejuvenating God and Sith Dragon, Lü Bolong were used separately, his body would likely not be in this situation. Using multiple enhancers simultaneously naturally places more stress on the body.

“However, this saves the most time.”

Ye Mingqiu smiled, softly knocking on the office door of the director of studies.

“Come in.”

Opening the door, Ye Mingqiu saw the director standing by the window enjoying the view, slowly turning his head, glancing at Ye Mingqiu, said, “You’re quite driven, aren’t you afraid of ruining your body.”

“Isn’t there the Spring of Life, anyway, soaking will fix it.” Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile.

“The Spring of Life isn’t a cure-all. If the toxins in your body are excessive, it can’t completely clear them.” The director of studies said lightly.
