"Activate!"

Zhou Yi was worried that there might be some unforeseen issues if the two enhancements were activated simultaneously, so he activated the third stage of enhancement for the mage character first.

Return to the real world.

Zhou Yi vaguely sensed the free-floating energy in space converging towards his body.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

Soon a vortex-shaped ball of light enveloped his entire body.

A sharp, tearing sensation came over me.

Hair, skin, muscles, internal organs, bones.

It felt as if every cell in my body was being pulled by an enormous force.

Just when he thought he was about to explode and die, streams of heat surged from his heart and brain at the same time.

As the heat flows through every inch of the body, the tearing sensation lessens.

It's like a wound healing quickly.

The heat spreads throughout the body.

Clang!

A golden magic shield appeared out of thin air and enveloped him.

Legendary Magic Shield!

The spirit of the Book of Changes was shaken.

He remembered that the legendary magic shield had not yet reached level 3.

In other words, the previous assumptions may have been wrong.

Given the right opportunity, any skill can be mastered!

With the appearance of the magic shield, the tearing sensation on my body completely disappeared.

Instead, there is endless power.

Zhou Yi felt that if he went all out, he could burn the entire building to ashes in an instant.

I have a sudden realization.

The energy we just absorbed is the legendary dark energy!

The reason the body needs to replenish a lot of energy is to counteract the impact of dark energy.

Gurgle! A strong feeling of hunger strikes.

The magic shield then disappeared.

With a light leap, Zhou Yi arrived at the washroom and took a shower.

Step out of the room.

A wonderful fragrance wafted over.

Upon entering the lobby, the sofa that had been burned last night had been replaced with a new one.

Zhou Yi followed the aroma to the kitchen doorway.

My sister-in-law is making breakfast.

Today, Gong Yan wore a pink halter-neck dress, and her long, wavy hair was slightly styled up.

The curve of the silhouette is quite exaggerated.

Zhou Yi rubbed the tip of his nose.

"Sister-in-law, is dinner ready?"

I'm hesitant to get close, afraid of getting angry or being locked in a dark room.

Gong Yan turned her head and smiled, "Almost done, go wake Xiao Yiyi up."

Her delicate, flawless face looked exceptionally beautiful under the sunlight.

Is this the aura of a female paladin?

Zhou Yi was somewhat dazed.

It seems that such a scene only occurs in dreams.

A few minutes later.

A hearty breakfast was served.

Century egg and lean pork congee, soy milk and fried dough sticks, grilled sausage with soft-boiled egg and fruit platter, sprinkled with blueberry jam.

Zhou Yi and Zhao Yiyi's stomachs were already rumbling.

However, their good manners prevented them from immediately picking up their chopsticks.

Zhou Yi swore that this was the most lavish breakfast he had ever seen in his life.

Well, past lives don't count.

Gong Yan served each of them a bowl of porridge.

"Alright! Let's eat!"

Zhou Yi was the first to pick up the congee with preserved egg and lean pork and gulp it down.

Coo coo coo.

Click your tongue.

It's sticky but not greasy, with the aroma of preserved egg and meat chunks intertwined, making your taste buds explode.

"tasty!"

Zhou Yi gives a thumbs up.

Although the little stepdaughter didn't have Zhou Yi's boldness, she was no less so. She picked up a spoon and shoveled a few mouthfuls into her mouth, then grabbed a fried dough stick and stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhou Yi: One bite of fried dough stick, one sip of soy milk.

Then came the fruit platter.

Gong Yan watched the two of them wolf down their food, a look of pleasure appearing in her eyes.

Fortunately, she had already learned of Zhou Yi's appetite and deliberately increased the portion size.

Even so, Zhou Yi finished by scraping the rice porridge from the pot clean.

However, the energy required for the third stage of enhancement is staggering.

I only replenished less than 1%, and although my stomach was full, I felt extremely empty.

"Sister-in-law, is there any more enhancement fluid?" Zhou Yi swallowed the last bite of his fried egg.

The food was delicious, but the portion was too small.

Gong Yan was somewhat surprised: "Didn't you just drink a bottle last night?"

"not enough."

"That's all. That was my last stock."

Zhou Yi's eyes darted around. "Didn't you still have more than half a bottle left last night?"

Gong Yan rolled her eyes at him, got up and walked towards the bedroom.

He quickly handed the half-full bottle of enhancement fluid to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi couldn't wait to swallow it whole.

The hunger finally subsided.

That's not enough.

It feels like less than 10% was added.

This round of enhancement requires at least 9 more bottles.

Gong Yan got up to clear the dishes, and Xiao Yiyi followed behind to help.

Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly at her virtuous appearance.

It's good to have a woman in the house!

I suddenly thought of my ex-wife; it's true what they say, comparisons are odious.

Zhou Yi leaned back on the sofa, resting his chin on his hand.

How can I obtain a large quantity of strengthening fluid?

"What are you thinking about?" Gong Yan came to his side.

Zhou Yi smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know where I can buy the enhancement fluid?"

Gong Yan shook her head: "That stuff is in limited supply, it's rare on the market, but..."

The Book of Changes has inspired me.

“However, I have a way that might get me five bottles.” Gong Yan’s gaze swept over Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi suddenly felt unwell all over.

That look in your eyes, it's like you're looking at merchandise.

"The authorities are looking for you. They've offered you five bottles of enhancement fluid. Come with me to the station, and I'll give you one bottle." Gong Yan's lips curled into a charming smile.

Zhou Yi immediately became alert: "You want to drag me to get sliced ​​up?"

"No way!" Gong Yan shook her head.

“Slicing it is also an option, but the price would have to be at least 50 times higher!” Zhou Yi raised his hand.

Gong Yan rolled her eyes at him, "We're a legitimate department!"
