Chapter 17: Intermediate Mage

"Please don't be obsessed with me. I'm just a legend."

"I am going to retreat now to become a mid-level mage. Please two beauties help me prepare the food. When I come out of retreat, I will be a mid-level mage."

Qin Chen stood up with a smile, and before Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu could react, he touched their little faces, then quickly returned to his room and closed the door! "Ah!!! Damn hooligan!"

"asshole!!!"

After they realized what was happening, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu were like kittens whose tails were stepped on. They instantly became furious. Now they really felt that it was too inconsiderate of them to share a house with Qin Chen. Thinking about how much they had been taken advantage of over the past few days, they didn't know.

The room was very soundproofed. Even the loud screams of Ai Tutu could not affect Qin Chen's ears. He sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and quietly adjusted his mentality, observing the three clusters of stardust in his spiritual world. There were seven shining stars in each cluster of stardust. These stars were all strengthened by Qin Chen's slave-level spirit, so that they looked more shining and fuller than the previous ones.

"Breakthrough starts with the fire system."

The fire element was the first one he awakened, and the first one to reach the initial stage of full cultivation. He took out the nebula dust he had just bought and held it in his hand, ready to give himself a boost at any time.

Nebula Dust is an energy booster that helps beginner mages break through to intermediate mages. The market price is 10 million per piece, which is one tenth of the price of Galaxy Vein. Compared with Galaxy Vein, Nebula Dust has a lower price and a larger quantity. In the Magic City, as long as you have money, you can buy it. So after the team was disbanded, Qin Chen immediately bought himself three Nebula Dusts.

When the stardust grows to its limit, it is necessary to break through the limitations of the existing stardust and advance to a higher level of nebula. The method of breakthrough is both simple and difficult. That is to use the seven stars in the stardust to hit the stardust barrier and break the stardust barrier. The stardust will naturally be promoted to a nebula, and the beginner mage will be promoted to a mid-level mage. However, for ordinary mages, the stars are too weak and the barrier is too strong to be broken at all. Moreover, each time the barrier is hit, a certain amount of magic energy will be consumed. After several hits, the magic energy is insufficient and you need to meditate again to restore the magic energy. Perhaps, you cannot break the barrier after dozens or hundreds of hits, then you will be stuck in the current realm and unable to break through. This is the difficulty!

"Hit me!"

Qin Chen controlled the seven strengthened stars to hit the stardust barrier with all his strength. With a bang, the seven stars hit the barrier at the same time. The powerful impact made the stardust tremble, but the stardust barrier only shook violently without any cracks.

"I don't believe that I can't break you. Strengthen me!"

At this time, Qin Chen took out two warrior-level spirits synthesized from the Chaos Beads and strengthened two of the fire stars. After the strengthening was completed, he controlled the seven stars with the two strongest stars as the main ones and the remaining five stars as the auxiliary ones, and hit the stardust barrier again.

“Crack!!!”

This time, he finally created a tiny crack in the Stardust Barrier, but before he could be happy, he saw that the crack was slowly healing! "Keep hitting!"

However, he was disappointed. Even though he used up all his magic energy, he was unable to completely break through the stardust barrier. He only broke through less than one fifth of it before his magic energy was exhausted.

"It seems that if I want to quickly and independently break through the intermediate level, strengthening all the stars to the fifth level is the best choice. However, I don't have that many general-level spirits, nor do I have that much time to slowly consume them. Time is money, so I'd better choose nebula dust."

In Qin Chen's opinion, the best way now is to use the nebula dust. If he relies on time to grind, he can upgrade all three systems to the intermediate level within half a year. But if he can use tens of millions of dollars to buy this half year, why not buy it? Anyway, he is not without money now!

Time is life, this statement is absolutely correct. The human lifespan is only a hundred years, and a magical career is only about fifty years. As long as there are ambitious rich people, they will not be stingy with this money, and they are willing to use money to buy time!

Time passed little by little. Qin Chen stayed in the room for half a month and never stepped out of the door. Even the food was delivered to him at the door by Mu Nujiao, and he opened the door to take it in. If there was no toilet and bathroom in the house, he would not have been able to stay there.

"Sister Mu, you said that Qin Chen has been in seclusion for half a month and hasn't come out yet. I don't know how he can stay at home for so long. Could this be the legendary otaku skill?"

Ai Tutu was wearing shorts and a loose, refreshing shirt. He was holding cereal in his hands and was watching TV, eating cereal and chatting with Mu Nujiao at the same time.

"Half a month, he should be close to a breakthrough." Mu Nujiao brewed a cup of tea, took a sip and said.

"Ah? Sister Mu, do you really believe that he will be able to break through successfully?" Ai Tutu said with his mouth wide open.

"Didn't he say that he would be able to break through successfully?" Mu Nujiao asked back.

"You believed him when he said he could break through successfully. I think Sister Mu, you are fascinated by that guy Qin Chen." Ai Tutu said casually.

“Crack!!!”

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Qin Chen walked out with a swift and vigorous pace, looking relaxed and cheerful, full of energy, and rosy-cheeked as he said with a smile:

"Jiaojiao still understands my heart and lives up to my preference for you."

"Ai Tutu, you have so little confidence in me? He's just a mid-level mage. It's easy for me to defeat him."

"You have broken through to the intermediate level?"

Mu Nujiao was surprised to see Qin Chen coming out with a smile on his face, and even ignored Qin Chen's teasing towards her.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"A genuine mid-level mage. How about it, Jiaojiao? To celebrate my breakthrough to a mid-level mage, how about we go out for a candlelight dinner alone?"

Qin Chen walked forward, lifted up and smoothed the few scattered strands of hair in front of Mu Nujiao, and invited her with a smile.

"Qin Chen, how could you attack my sister Mu? Even if you want to attack, you have to attack me. Don't try to harm my sister Mu."

Seeing Qin Chen's ambiguous action, Ai Tutu next to him suddenly lost his composure. She rushed forward and pushed Qin Chen away to stand in front of Mu Nujiao, but what she didn't know was that the beautiful scenery in front of her appeared again.

“Tutu!”

Mu Nujiao reached out and buttoned up the collar of Ai Tutu to prevent Qin Chen from peeping. She was speechless about Ai Tutu's thick nerves. She didn't know whether this made her happy or helpless.

"Ah! Pervert!"

Seeing Mu Nujiao's actions, Ai Tutu finally reacted and labeled Qin Chen a pervert.

I have just made a breakthrough in my cultivation, and having two beautiful women share the joy of the breakthrough with me is a rare happy thing.
