Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 17 Water System Intermediate
"Mingzhu Academy is quite good. You are still young and you really need to communicate and compete more with your peers. It is too cruel for you to hunt monsters for commissions all the time." Leng Qing thought for a while, then smiled at Su Chi.

"What about you, Senior Sister?" Su Chi asked back.

"I'll probably spend the rest of my life in the Inquisition, until I retire. If I live to that point."

Leng Qing closed his eyes and raised his head slightly.

The sunlight shone on her delicate and beautiful face. At this moment, Su Chi felt that her whole body seemed to be glowing.

"Big Sister"

Su Chi was silent for a while. He seemed to have some different opinions about the cold and beautiful woman in front of him.

"Wouldn't this kind of life be too boring?"

Leng Qing heard the hidden emotion in Su Chi's words. He opened his eyes and looked sideways at him, his lips curled up slightly. "Xiao Chi, you're still young and probably don't think about these things. In my opinion, life is a process of constantly searching for meaning, and joining the Inquisition to punish evil and promote good is what I'm pursuing."

After hearing this, Su Chi didn't know what to say next.

For him, his only hope now is to become stronger and stronger, so strong that he no longer needs to look at other people's opinions when doing things, and no longer needs to worry about other things because he is practicing too fast.

If I have to put it in more detail, it is to find a partner, get married, have children, and live this short life happily.

Just then, a childish voice interrupted their conversation.

"Sister! You're back!"

Su Chi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl in cartoon pajamas walking towards him.

"Lingling, you're awake." Leng Qing pulled the little girl into his arms and said, "I came back this morning."

"How long will you stay at home this time?" Lingling asked.

"It'll take a little longer this time. I just finished a big mission." Leng Qing stroked Lingling's hair, her tone gentle. "Let's not talk about that for now. How about Lingling? Are you hungry?"

"I'm so hungry! I woke up because of hunger." Lingling's face turned bitter.

"Then wait, I'll go make you a bowl of porridge right now. You haven't had breakfast or lunch yet, so it's not suitable for you to eat food that's too difficult to digest. It's not good for your stomach."

After saying that, Leng Qing let go of Lingling, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"You big pervert, when did you get up?"

Su Chi was shocked when Lingling called him that. "When did I become a pervert? Don't say that in front of the president and your sister. I'm afraid they'll beat me to death."

"With Xiao Shitou's strength, you, a high school student, can actually kill a general-level demon. If you're not a pervert, then what are you?"

Su Chi didn't want to argue with her anymore. "Okay, okay, let's end this topic and move on to the next one. I got up before lunch."

"Young people are full of energy." Lingling muttered softly.

Su Chi was very upset.

You are such an infuriating little girl!
"By the way, Su Chi, grandpa should have transferred the commission fee to you. Please check it." The little girl changed the subject and reminded.

Hearing that the money had arrived, Su Chi quickly took out his mobile phone to check.

I don’t know how much will be left after deducting the rent, food expenses and awakening reservation fees.

"How did four hundred thousand arrive in my account?!"

Su Chi exclaimed.

"Hmph, I'm only in elementary school. It's useless for me to take this money now. I know you're short of money, so just think of it as a loan from me." Lingling looked at Su Chi, raised her little head and said proudly, "Also, do you think grandpa will really charge you for rent and food?"

"Lingling, you are so nice to me." Su Chi excitedly hugged the little girl and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face.

"Don't pinch my face, you bastard!!" Half a year passed slowly.

In the past six months, Su Chi and Lingling have completed more than ten commissioned tasks, both large and small.

He now has nearly three million in savings, but half of it belongs to Lingling.

I don’t know if Old Man Bao is short of money recently. He used to say that he would not accept commissions below 300,000, but since last month, there have been some commissions in the hunting house with rewards of more than 100,000, and even some with rewards of only tens of thousands.

With the idea that even a small amount of money is still money, Su Chi rejected all these commissions.

It is worth mentioning that in a previous monster hunt, a spirit was finally successfully exploded. After the dragon-shaped necklace swallowed it, it was successfully upgraded to a spirit-level stardust magic weapon.

In addition, Su Chi also vaguely knew how to obtain runes.

He still remembered that the first time he obtained the rune was when he successfully bound the small stone, the second time was when he released the Water Guardian·Guardian of the Water Element, and the third time was when he successfully released the Water Guardian·Circulation a while ago.

However, when I first released Water Defense: Dissolve, no runes appeared.

Therefore, Su Chi guessed that as long as he could successfully release the Violent Wave·Expulsion, or successfully contract a creature through the summoning system, he would be able to obtain the rune.

He had already mastered the forty-nine stars of the intermediate summoning system, but he had never found a suitable contract beast.

He still struggled for a long time when choosing runes a few months ago.

[Black Iron Assets (Silver): Receive a Spirit Seed Selection Box and a Servant-level Spirit. Note: You can choose any Spirit Seed from the Spirit Seed Selection Box.]

[Take a Shortcut (Silver): Permanently increase your own meditation efficiency by 20% based on the current level.]

[Rune Evolution (Silver): Obtain a random gold-quality rune. Note: Come and participate in the gamble of fate!]

The three runes each have a different emphasis.

Choosing Black Iron Assets can enhance Su Chi's current strength and transform the water or thunder elements into spiritual water and thunder.

If you want to successfully purchase a spirit seed at an auction, it is impossible to buy it without 20 or 30 million.

Rune - taking shortcuts is also a good thing. Although 20% may not seem like much, but when combined with the magic weapon of dark cultivation, the speed of dark cultivation will be greatly improved. This is a rune that increases the foundation.

As for rune evolution, it is purely a matter of luck. If there is really no other good choice, he might choose to take a chance.

The first two runes are both good choices, especially the rune - taking a shortcut, but choosing the rune evolution will give you a gold quality rune, which is definitely much more effective than the silver rune.

After struggling for a long time, Su Chi finally chose the rune - taking a shortcut.

The effect is indeed good. Combined with the spiritual-level Stardust magic weapon, and the daily meditation time allocated to the water system increased to ten hours, in just half a year, the water system has been upgraded from the second level of the beginner level to the level of being about to break through to the intermediate level.

"Break it for me!"

In the small room, Su Chi sat upright on the bed, shouting in his heart.

In the spiritual world at this moment.

The blue stardust glowed from within, and the water magic energy was like a huge wave, heavily hitting the light curtain outside the stardust.

As the magic power and the light curtain continued to collide, cracks finally began to appear on the light curtain.

Perhaps sensing that the time had come, the stardust began to dim, but the magical energy accumulated inside became more and more.

As the stardust once again burst into extremely strong light, the magic energy turned into a huge wave that successfully shattered the light curtain.

Then the tiny stardust began to expand
"Stardust turns into nebula!"

Water system intermediate level, accomplished! !
