Sitting on the sofa, Lu Shi stared at the panel and began to change the weight of her soul.
Yes, it will hurt a little bit.
But what does pain matter if you want to become stronger?
Those are just stumbling blocks on the path to becoming a strong person; I'll kick them away.
Five minutes—this time, Lu Shi lasted a full five minutes.
Perhaps through this period of experience, Lu Shi felt that not only had her mental resilience improved, but her ability to withstand pain had also increased.
Current soul weight: 70g
[Current unabsorbed soul weight: 24G]
Current Warcraft Soul Weight: 66G
...
After purifying her mind, Lu Shi, panting heavily, nestled on the sofa, slowly recovering her strength. She figured she wouldn't be able to change the weight of her soul again anytime soon.
However, as the weight of the soul increases, so does the magical power, allowing for the casting of more spells.
However, with a soul weight of 70g, he was at the level of a mid-level mage, far from being able to cast high-level spells. Right now, he didn't even dare to consider trying to cast a mental barrier.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening was heard.
Lu Shi looked up.
A slender figure pushed open the door and entered, calling out, "Brother, you're home? I saw your car parked outside the complex."
Then, the young girl who entered the room made eye contact with Lu Shi.
Lu Shi looked haggard, but managed a weak smile and said softly, "Hello."
To everyone's surprise, the little girl screamed as if she had seen a demon.
"ah!"
The sound pierced the eardrums.
It sounds somewhat familiar.
The little girl's scream made Ah Zheng rush out of the room. He hugged the little girl tightly and comforted her repeatedly, "Little sister, it's okay, it's okay."
Lu Shi reacted quickly, releasing a mental purification spell.
It fell silent.
...
After changing her clothes, Lu Shi sat on the sofa, facing A Zheng and his sister.
The little girl's clothes were all a bit small, and it was quite a struggle to find one that fit.
Facing Lu Shi, the little girl looked a bit embarrassed and said to A Zheng:
"Brother, actually, the crazy woman I mentioned last time who stabbed people with scissors in the hotel... the girl, is this lady."
Upon hearing this, Ah Zheng's expression stiffened, but he still tightened his grip on his sister's hand, turned back to Lu Shi with a forced smile, and slowly said, "Beautiful sister, N County is really small. My sister works at the Summer Hotel; you may have met her before..."
“It’s gone now.” The girl interrupted Ah Zheng, continuing, “I got fired. Ever since I saw that bloody scene, I’ve been a bit distracted at work. That idiot foreman won’t give me a day off, saying that someone from above came to handle the scene, and everything is as if nothing happened. So, the world where only I was injured has been created.”
As she spoke, the little girl, overcome with sadness, couldn't help but shed tears. She threw herself into Ah Zheng's arms and said sorrowfully:
"Brother, am I really useless? I even lost my job. We promised to save enough money to leave N County and go to J City. Now that working and living in N County is so difficult, what are we going to do? Waaah."
"Sis, it's okay, I'm here for you. I'll just have to work harder and drive the car more. We'll save up some more money, ten thousand, and then another ten thousand, and we'll go to J City. Okay, don't cry." Ah Zheng hugged the little girl, wiped away her tears, and comforted her gently.
Cough cough.
Lu Shi coughed, attracting the attention of the brother and sister, who said loudly, "Young lady, it seems your unemployment has something to do with me. I should also take some responsibility."
He paused, cleared his throat, and continued, "It seems you're a little short on money, but that's alright, I'll give it to you."
“How can we accept your money?” A-Zheng quickly refused.
"Consider it a loan from me. I'll bring the money over tomorrow." Lu Shi stood up, preparing to leave.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she turned to the little girl and said, "Little beauty, stop crying, or you won't be pretty anymore. There's no hurdle in life that can't be overcome. Come on, give me a smile."
After saying that, he smiled.
Having died once, Lu Shi has now transformed into a spiritual mentor!
The brother and sister stared at that stunning smile, their eyes wide with amazement.
The younger sister forgot to cry and remained in a daze for a long time.
...
As soon as Lu Shi left A Zheng's house, she wanted to slap herself.
If you don't have money, why pretend to be a big shot?
Ten thousand.
All of his previous possessions combined didn't even amount to five thousand.
They can't even afford the magical artifacts needed for cultivation.
Oh well, what's said is said.
If all else fails, let's borrow some from Uncle Huang.
Lu Shi quietly returned to the Magic Association.
With the wind magic this time, I easily sneaked back to my room.
Sitting on his bed in his room, Lu Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
By the way, continue to strengthen it.
"Little Commander, enhance the fire magic skill Fireball."
[You have begun practicing Fireball. Burning 10G of monster souls, Fireball level increased to 2.]
[You have begun practicing Fireball, burning 20G of monster souls, and your Fireball level has increased to 3.]
[You have begun practicing Fireball, burning 30G of monster souls, and your Fireball level has increased to 4.]
[Current Fireball skill level 4, increased power and control]
[Gain special ability: Instant Fireball]
Current Warcraft Soul Weight: 6G
...
Well, killing six Tier 1 magical beasts is only enough to level up 3 times.
Even the weight of a monster's soul can't withstand burning!
He summoned a fireball from his hand.
This time, Lu Shi found that she could control the fireball in her opponent's palm more easily.
With a few casual manipulations, you can not only mold simple shapes, but also control the fireball to transform into various more complex shapes.
Looking at the flame that he had painstakingly sculpted, which resembled a "rabbit".
Lu Shi chuckled, indicating that there was still room for improvement.
Apart from its long ears, this "flame rabbit" doesn't look like a rabbit at all.
Just as Lu Shi was having fun...
Huang Tian's voice came from outside the door.
"Shishi, are you there?"
As the flames receded, Lu Shi responded loudly, "Yes, I'm here."
After saying that, he went over and opened the door.
Huang Tian entered the room, and Zhang Junshang was following behind him.
Seeing Lu Shishi quietly in her room, Huang Tian nodded to Zhang Junshang and said in a knowing tone, "Look, how well-behaved my Shishi is. She's obviously been practicing fire magic in her room. Look how intense the flames are in the room."
After saying that, he reached out and gestured in the air, where there was still the lingering scent of flames from Lu Shi's playing with fire.
"Have you really been cultivating here all this time?" Zhang Junshang was still very skeptical. He took a step forward and stared at Lu Shi, as if trying to see through her.
"Commander Zhang, I feel like you're targeting me!" Lu Shi waved her right hand, and a fireball danced and burned in her hand, the flames rising and falling, emitting an eerie red light.
Zhang Junshang fell silent; he was also an expert in playing with fire.
Judging solely from Lu Shi's proficiency in fire control, achieving such a level of flame control in just one day requires arduous practice, and her talent is also...
"You have a very high talent for fire control." It was rare for Zhang Junshang to say a word of praise.
"I know even if you don't say it." Lu Shi arrogantly withdrew the flames from her palm.
"Shishi! It's best you didn't go out. Things are very chaotic outside lately." Huang Tian said earnestly, "You must stay in your room obediently. This morning, another monster invasion occurred at the warehouse in the north of the city. Alas, my nephew, Military Advisor Huang, you've met him, he's dead."
"Huh?" Lu Shi feigned surprise upon hearing this.
Killed in battle?
Bah, they were clearly burned to death.
While inwardly complaining, Lu Shi remained outwardly calm and showed no concern about being implicated.
This world has no surveillance, and no high-tech investigative tools.
If you're not caught in the act of murder and there are no witnesses, what's there to be afraid of?
Zhang Junshang kept a close eye on Lu Shi's face, trying to read her expression.
But they found that Lu Shi maintained a surprised expression the whole time, without any other extra expression.
"Shishi, you and the strategist have some connection, don't be too sad. The military mage has long since become indifferent to life and death when fighting against magical beasts; this is probably his destiny. Alright, I won't talk about these sad things with you anymore. You should focus on your cultivation." Huang Tian pulled the military commander away.
"Commander Zhang," Lu Shi suddenly called out to Zhang Junshang. Then she slowly asked, "You drive a supercar, you must be very rich, could you lend me ten thousand?"
"Are you short of money?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Junshang stopped and asked in confusion.
"Look at my room, and look at what I'm wearing, it's like my poverty is written all over my face. A white mage's salary is barely enough to eat! Now you won't let me go to school anymore, and they won't pay me anymore either," Lu Shi said matter-of-factly. But then, her tone softened, and she continued, "After I awakened, I wanted to buy some magical artifacts to aid my cultivation. But... but I'm just too poor."
"Shishi, stop fooling around. If you're short of money, Uncle Huang will give it to you. How can we trouble Commander Zhang?" Huang Tian hurriedly spoke up, while rummaging through his pockets and finally pulling out a handful of loose banknotes.
He had intended to hand it all to Lu Shi, but after hesitating for a moment, he took back half and only handed over half.
Seeing that there was even a stack of loose change with a one-yuan denomination inside, Lu Shi was speechless.
Well, this uncle is a poor guy too.
"Shishi! When Uncle Huang gets his salary this month, I'll give you a little more!" Huang Tian said a little embarrassed.
"Heh." Zhang Junshang sneered, took out a glittering gold card from his pocket, and handed it to Lu Shi.
"It's an anonymous card with 100,000 yuan in it, which can be redeemed at any bank. Consider it an investment in you, and you can pay me back when you have the money."
"Commander Zhang is so generous." Lu Shi took the gold card with a bang, her eyes shining.
"Shishi, we won't disturb you any longer. Focus on your cultivation and remember Commander Zhang's guidance." Huang Tian smiled and left with Zhang Junshang.
Lu Shi watched the two people leave, clutching the gold card in her hand.
It feels so good to have money.
Pay me back?
You're preventing me from teaching at school, cutting off my source of income, and you still want me to pay you back?
Once it's in my Aunt Lu's pocket, it's like it's gone into Little Scissors' belly.
It won't come out.
