BXBX NOVEL Chapter 252: 252, Promote to Level 3! _1
For the following days, Su Yu stayed within the Mage Tower, absorbing the materials of magical beasts to increase his strength.
Next to the Mana Pool, little Kathy diligently moved back and forth between the pool and the stack of material, following Su Yu’s instructions and throwing batches of material into the pool.
As the pool refined the materials, an endless stream of purified mana gathered around Su Yu. One wave after another washed over him, rapidly elevating his strength.
His game log also started in “crazy scrolling” mode:
“Ding, by absorbing purified mana, you gain 1000 Experience Points!”
“Ding, by absorbing purified mana, you gain 1000 Experience Points!”
“Ding, your level has reached 38.”
“Ding, your level has reached 39.”
“Ding, your level has reached 40.”
Finally, after refining materials for two and a half days, Su Yu successfully reached level 50 and became a third-rank Mage!
At the edge of the Mana Pool, Su Yu’s aura swelled, and the pale blue Mage’s robe he wore was torn into tiny cracks by the surge of mana.
The power of the elements rapidly circulated around his body, forming elemental halos.
The elemental halos emitted colorful light and gradually rose from his body.
When it rose to the position of his brain, the elemental halo merged into his brain, signifying Su Yu’s successful breakthrough!
After breaking through to become a third-rank Mage, Su Yu opened his eyes and nodded satisfyingly.
According to his original plan, he would need about five days to ascend to the third rank.
But with the significant improvement in the quality of the Mana Pool, his leveling speed increased dramatically.
It took only two and a half days for Su Yu to achieve his goal of breaking through to the third rank, twice as fast as planned! It is indeed a legendary Mana Pool!
Seeing Su Yu’s successful breakthrough, Kathy also bounced over and congratulated her lord: “Lord, congratulations on your promotion to the third rank! Are you going to continue cultivating or take a break?”
“Hmm let’s take a break first.” Su Yu thought for a while: “But this break won’t be too long. Kathy, continue preparing the materials. When I come back, we’ll continue cultivating.”
Right now, the materials Su Yu was using were zero and first-rank materials collected by the players. He plans to save the high-ranking materials he received from the princess and Tina for when his level is higher.
“Understood!” Kathy responded with a smile.
After giving Kathy a few instructions, Su Yu left the game directly.
The increase in his in-game strength would entirely sync to reality.
But because his strength had increased so rapidly recently, his room was in a mess due to the uncontrollable mana overflow.
His bed was shattered into powder during the breakthrough, and the surrounding furniture, clothes cabinets, and tables were all smashed by the mana surge.
After Su Yu took off his helmet, he found that his bed had completely turned into a mix of wood chips and cloth pieces. He was lying in the debris of the bed as if he was lying in a pile of garbage.
Su Yu smiled wryly, shook his head, stood up from the “wreckage” of his bed, and dusted off the debris on him.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, there was suddenly a knock on the door of his living room.
Su Yu’s front door was carved with a sensing magic array. Through the array, he immediately knew who was at the door.
Su Yu used the Flash Skill and instantly arrived at the door. He opened the door and smiled at the visitor: “Oh, it’s Prime Minister Cao Cao, please come in!”
The visitor was Cao Cao himself, dressed in a black silk robe and walked in with a smile.
As he walked, he bowed to Su Yu: “Su Yu, I sensed your level increase and came to congratulate you, congrats!”
Regarding why Prime Minister Cao Cao appeared at Su Yu’s doorstep, it began when Su Yu took control of the Lingwu Mountain’s Spiritual Spring Eye.
Su Yu lived in a 26-story commercial and residential building located on the west outskirts of East Sea City.
Ever since Su Yu took control of the Spiritual Spring Eye, the relevant departments moved all the residents elsewhere. This was done both for Su Yu’s safety and the safety of the other residents.
About 10 days ago, Prime Minister Cao Cao took the initiative to propose moving in and becoming neighbors with Su Yu, along with Zhu Guorui. By living together, they could support each other and avoid accidentally injuring the public during cultivation.
Su Yu agreed without much thought, and Prime Minister Cao Cao and Zhu Guorui moved in.
Su Yu lived on the 9th floor, Prime Minister Cao Cao moved to the 26th floor, and Zhu Guorui moved to the 1st floor. Although they all lived in the same building, they lived fairly far apart.
Mr. Zhu was not in the building today, only Prime Minister Cao Cao was. He sensed the magic fluctuations from Su Yu’s breakthrough and immediately came to congratulate him.
Upon entering the room, Prime Minister Cao Cao glanced at the messy bed and eventually focused his gaze on the gaming helmet.
He couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s worthy of a game created by a high-level civilization. In less than a month, you’ve reached a strength that rivals a cultivator in the Formation Period. This would have virtually impossible in our era!”
“Even in the era of Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa, I suppose very few could achieve that!”
“That’s because I’ve been fortunate to have everyone’s support.” Su Yu laughed and handed Prime Minister Cao Cao a cup of tea:
“In the game, hundreds of millions of players are collecting materials for me. If I still level up slowly, it would be unreasonable. In your era, this situation of mine would probably be at the level of ‘adored by masses and ascending to immortality’, right?”
“Haha, that’s true.” Prime Minister Cao Cao laughed while stroking his beard, and took a sip of the tea.
But as soon as the tea reached his mouth, his face became grim.
The tea Su Yu had at home was just a random purchase from the downstairs supermarket, costing five or six dollars per pound.
For Cao Cao, who was accustomed to premium tea, the taste of this tea was astringent and barely palatable, even worse than drinking plain water!
Su Yu also noticed this and scratched his head in embarrassment: “If the tea doesn’t suit your taste, Prime Minister Cao Cao, should I switch to cola? That’s all I have other than plain water.”
“No thanks.” Prime Minister Cao Cao shook his head: “I’ve had cola when it was first invented. It used to be cough medicine but let’s not dwell on that.”
Prime Minister Cao Cao looked towards Su Yu: “Su Yu, I came to see you mainly for three things. The first is to ask about your plans. Do you plan to continue cultivating?”
Su Yu thought for a moment and replied: “Yes, I plan to continue cultivating. The next phase of the main storyline will start tomorrow, but I decided to cultivate for a while longer. After five or six days, when my strength has levelled up to the fourth rank, then I’ll start the tasks.”
“Fourth rank so that’s the Nascent Soul Stage. That’s quick indeed!” Prime Minister Cao Cao exclaimed.
He nodded and continued: “The second thing is that I noticed your strength is very unstable after your breakthrough. Mr. Zhu and I have recently catalyzed quite a few medicinal herbs using spiritual energy. We can use a medicinal bath to help consolidate your cultivation level.”
“Really? Thank you very much!” Su Yu gratefully said.
