Chapter 61 The Taste of Poverty

Yuki: The meeting will be held at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Mingqiu: Received.

He glanced at the time; it was a little past three. Now was the perfect time to go directly to the school for the meeting. On the way, he could buy a pair of headphones from a shop near the school so he could study the principles of magic anytime in the future.

Normally, a psionicist at this stage would practice their special skills like crazy, use skills frequently to increase proficiency and level up, thereby improving their strength.

But Ye Mingqiu was different. He believed that practicing one's skills in a comfortable environment was very inefficient, and that honing one's skills in battle was the best and fastest way to improve.

Developing your skills in a comfortable place is simply a waste of time!

As for the levels of professional and general skills, there's even less need to train them, because he directly used his psionic points to raise them to level 3, reaching the current level cap for psionic upgrades, and the benefits of continuing to learn and upgrade them would be very low.

Therefore, Ye Mingqiu set a simple learning goal for himself.

Spell Comprehension and Firearms Proficiency

This is what he should be learning during this period.

If you want to learn spells, you should definitely focus on practicality. Learn some practical spells first, such as the Illumination spell. You don't have a staff, but it's not a big problem. You can use the Blood Spear for simple disguise, since spears and staffs look quite similar, and the Blood Spear itself has a spirit that can easily change its form.

That should be possible, right?
Although the Blood Spear is a melee weapon, it actually contains a strong amount of blood energy, which can amplify the casting of blood magic and healing magic. However, this amplification can only be enjoyed when the weapon spirit recognizes it.

It's like drawing blood from the Crimson Hermit to enhance one's life force through battle; this is an ability that isn't written on the Spirit Interface panel, but that Blood Spear possesses.

That's the power of the artifact spirit.

just
The Blood Spear itself inflicts a mind-corroding effect; could healing spells cast with it also have a mind-corroding effect? ​​It seems quite possible.
3:40 PM

Tang Ruobing's private training room

Ye Mingqiu pushed open the door and entered, his gaze sweeping around as he noticed Tang Ruobing sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Seeing this, a ripple of emotion stirred within him, and he silently thought: Meditation, it is meditation! I am only learning the theory and trying to put it into practice now, and I haven't learned the meditation method yet. Will the efficiency of becoming stronger be too low?

On the other side, upon noticing someone enter, Tang Ruobing slowly stopped meditating and quietly glanced sideways to observe.

It's this guy who's here.
She gently bit her lip, took several deep breaths, and finally made up her mind, turning back to say:

"Give me back my psionic points."

"Uh?"

Ye Mingqiu was taken aback.

Isn't that tone a bit too weak? It sounds like she's asking me for psionic points. I'm the one who's indebted for psionic points!
Could it be that.
Is someone who lacks intelligence the only one who's powerful?
However, he quickly understood that Tang Ruobing probably considered that he had only recently become a psionicist, didn't have many psionic points, and still needed to use them in many other areas, so she was reluctant to ask him to return them.

If that's the case, then her situation is probably a bit urgent; otherwise, given her personality, she definitely wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask me for help.

"How much do you want?" Ye Mingqiu asked.

"200, 200 psionic points will do."

"200?"

Ye Mingqiu was taken aback, not because the number was too large, but because it was too small. He couldn't help but ask, "With so few spirit points, you could easily earn more by selling a few odds and ends, right?" "Sold out, all sold out."

Tang Ruobing answered softly, her lowered eyes secretly lifting upwards. Noticing Ye Mingqiu's strange gaze, she quickly explained, "Don't overthink it. I've just spent a lot of money recently improving my strength, and I just happened to be out of spirit points! This is just this once! It won't happen again!"

Okay, I'll transfer it to you.

[Notification: You have initiated a transfer of 200 psionic points]

[Shattered Stars Received]

Seeing the increase in psionic points in her balance, Tang Ruobing's expression relaxed considerably. She turned her head and said with utmost seriousness, "You must not tell anyone about this."

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in response.

For some reason, he felt as if he smelled a familiar scent on Tang Ruobing, a scent of poverty. She had become poor, but she had also become strong.

"I have a question about magic to ask you."

"explain."

"When I cast spells, I find that every spell has a limit. Once the spiritual energy injected exceeds the limit, it is impossible to increase its strength. But in reality, many mages can make basic spells extremely powerful. How is that possible?" Ye Mingqiu asked in confusion.

"bottleneck?"

Tang Ruobing frowned and asked, "Show me how you cast a fireball spell."

Ye Mingqiu stretched out his hand, closed his eyes, and focused on sensing the spiritual energy, guiding it to his palm. In his imagination, he constructed a specific spell template for the spiritual energy, transforming it into a fire attribute and creating the shape of a fireball that burned fiercely in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his eyes and poured more spiritual energy into the fireball spell, making the fireball larger, darker in color, and hotter.

But before long, the color and size of the fireball spell stopped changing. Instead, many fire elements overflowed from near Ye Mingqiu's palm, turning into sparks that fell to the ground.

"This is the limit of basic spells. To surpass the limit, you must improve the spells. Most basic spells are general spells, which are simple, convenient and easy to learn, but the drawback is that the upper limit is too low. You must continue to study in depth to break through."

Tang Ruobing paused, looking at Ye Mingqiu with a strange gaze, and asked, "Wait a minute, although basic spells do have limits, they can only be detected when using more than 100 spiritual energy. Could it be that your current spiritual energy limit has already exceeded 100?"

"It was just a fluke."

Ye Mingqiu replied.

Tang Ruobing frowned, but didn't ask any further questions. She simply continued, "There are two types of spells. One is the general spell, which is easy to learn but has an upper limit to its strength. The other is the advanced spell, which combines different spells under different circumstances through the arrangement and combination of knowledge, and selects the optimal solution in each situation."

"If you want to continue learning spells, I suggest you start with general spells. Advanced spells are more difficult and not suitable for early learning. What kind of spells do you want to learn? I can help you find some general spells."

"What other spells could they be? I'm a support class, so I'll definitely prioritize learning healing, amplification, or utility spells," Ye Mingqiu replied matter-of-factly.

Of course, his role as a support is secondary. More importantly, his fighting style doesn't rely on spells for primary damage output, as that would be too wasteful of mana for him. It's better to maintain sufficient mana to sustain the 30% strength and agility boost from [Psionic Energy - Full].

Therefore, the most suitable spells for him to learn are amplification spells and utility spells. Amplification spells can increase buffs and improve combat power. Utility spells can provide functional assistance in different situations, such as casting a light spell when fighting in the dark.
