The spell's range covers the entire territory of China? Hand it over to the state.

The night in the old town always has a particularly serene atmosphere.

The cicadas outside the window had been chirping all day, and now they were finally tired enough to stop, leaving only the occasional muffled tire noise from the distant overpass.

Su Yun sank into the sofa, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the hard cover of the book.

The youthful, arrogant enthusiasm of a few minutes ago gradually cooled down, and a sense of caution regained its place.

If you think about it calmly, this talent is so strong, it's like putting the nuclear button in the hands of a high school graduate.

Nine million six hundred thousand square kilometers.

That's a huge concept.

What would happen if he accidentally clicked the wrong skill right now, such as the [Fear Totem] used for crowd control, even if it's just the lowest level of fear effect, once it covers the entire area?

A driver speeding along the highway suddenly jerked his hand and turned the steering wheel all the way to the lock?

Did the surgeon performing brain surgery suddenly tremble?

Or was it a naive young man confessing his love to his girlfriend who was suddenly overcome by fear and wet his pants on the spot?

If that's the case, things will be really serious.

Even worse, if he were to drop a [Rage Totem] on the border, wouldn't those already tense border guards go berserk and charge into the enemy's territory with their knives drawn?

At that point, let alone a special recruitment by the military, the National Security Bureau's special agents will most likely break down the door within five minutes and invite him for a lifetime of tea.

"Sometimes being too talented can be a problem."

Su Yun rubbed her temples, feeling a slight headache.

That's the downside of high intelligence—overthinking. If it were a hot-blooded idiot, he'd probably be standing on a rooftop, laughing hysterically at the moon, and then the book would end.

However, he still planned to see if he could try it out, so that he would have a better understanding of the situation.

"System, open the skill tree."

He silently recited it in his heart.

The pale blue light screen unfolded before my eyes once more.

As a level 1 newbie who has just changed jobs, the Shaman's skill tree looks rather shabby, with a large number of gray icons and only a few F-level basic skills lit up at the bottom.

Su Yun focused on several skills, analyzing the feasibility of each one.

[Flame Totem (LV1)]: Summons flames that deal 5 points of burning damage to enemies within range every 3 seconds.

Pass. If this gets out, tomorrow's headlines will be "Mysterious man sets fire to the whole country, fire suppression system collapses."

[Mud Swamp Totem (LV1)]: Summons a mud swamp, reducing the movement speed of enemies within the area by 10%.

Pass. Nationwide transportation is paralyzed; delivery drivers will be devastated.

【Healing Totem (LV1)】: Releases life essence, restoring 3 health points per second to friendly units within range.

Undetermined. While it sounds wonderful, the impact would be too great. Would the minor bumps and bruises of China's over one billion people suddenly heal? Would terminally ill patients in hospitals suddenly experience a resurgence of lucidity before death? This would inevitably cause social panic and be difficult to manage.

Finally, Su Yun's gaze settled on a somewhat inconspicuous icon.

It was a green icon depicting a few wisps of wind.

【Breeze Totem (LV1)】

Quality: F (Common Product)

[Effect: Summons a wind totem, providing a cool breeze to friendly units within range. Restores 1 mana per second and slightly alleviates mental fatigue.]

[Note: Aside from saving on air conditioning costs in the summer, does anyone actually use this skill?]

"It's you."

Su Yun snapped his fingers.

Restores 1 mana. For high-level professionals, this amount of mana restoration is barely enough to fill a tooth gap, like pouring a bottle of mineral water into a dried-up Yangtze River.

"Extremely slight relief from fatigue" probably means that it makes you feel slightly more comfortable when you yawn.

Moisturizing is silent.

Even if it covers the whole country, most people will only think that the wind is particularly noisy tonight, or that they slept well tonight, and will never associate it with a peerless cheater opening a map at home.

Su Yun stood up and stretched her stiff neck.

He then kicked off his sneakers and put on a pair of blue plastic slippers. He went to the kitchen to get a glass of cold water, gulped down half of it, and then walked back to the center of the living room.

This is probably the most unserious strategic weapons test site in history.

The lab technician was wearing a school uniform shirt and slippers, with an old wall in the background covered with a cross-stitched inscription that read "Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things".

"call……"

Su Yun adjusted her breathing to calm her heartbeat.

Although reason told him that this was just an F-rank mana regeneration skill, the talent description of "uniqueness" of "territory as territory" made him dare not be careless.

It's like holding a water gun filled with liquid hydrogen; if it encounters even a spark, who knows what kind of explosion will occur.

"But we're already here."

Su Yun raised his right hand and pressed down lightly with his palm facing down.

The system console deep within my consciousness lit up.

Please specify the location to release the totem.

A holographic map unfolded in my mind.

With the blessing of the talent "Territory is Territory", the limitation of "5-meter radius" is as easy to break as a paper window.

Su Yun's consciousness instantly soared.

In an instant.

The gaze pierces through the concrete slabs of the tenement building, through the neon-lit night sky of Beijing, rising all the way up to the heavens.

He "saw" the earth beneath his feet.

That is the Great Wall, winding like a giant dragon; the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, rushing into the sea; the crashing waves on the shore of the East China Sea; and the snow-capped peaks of Kunlun Mountain.

Countless mountains, rivers, cities, and villages shone brightly in his mind's eye, forming a rooster-shaped map called "Dragon Summer".

The system notification sounded again:

[Talent intervention detected... Please confirm skill coverage area.]

An ordinary person would probably be overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the view. But Su Yun simply gazed at the land calmly, as if a god were looking at his own backyard.

"Range locked..."

He silently recited in his mind, his consciousness like an invisible hand, stretching from Mohe at the northernmost point of the map all the way to Zengmu Reef at the southernmost point.

"The entire territory."

boom--!

In the real world, Su Yun suddenly pressed his palm down.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any dazzling light effects.

Su Yun felt as if half of his mana had been drained away in an instant, like a floodgate being opened.

A semi-transparent, miniature totem pole, only the length of a finger, quietly appeared on the living room floor tiles.

It looked too ordinary, even somewhat like one of those glow sticks sold in a two-dollar store, emitting a faint blue glow.

"That's it?"

Su Yun looked down at the little thing at her feet and her lips twitched.

What happened to the saying that the land is the territory? What happened to the saying that all land under heaven belongs to the emperor?

That's it?

He crouched down and reached out his finger to poke the unassuming little totem.

However, the instant his fingertips touched the totem's light and shadow—

A sudden change occurred.

The totem pole, which had been emitting a faint glow, suddenly began to tremble violently.

That was not a physical tremor, but a conceptual collapse.

It seemed unable to withstand the infusion of the enormous concept of "9.6 million square kilometers," and the originally rudimentary rune structure began to frantically reorganize, collapse, and reorganize again.

The text on the system panel belonging to the [Breeze Totem] on Su Yun's retina began to distort and blur, like molten gold melted by some kind of high temperature.

[WARNING: The scope of this skill exceeds the limits of normal logic!]

[Warning: Skill level has undergone a qualitative change!]

[Searching for the historical background of current civilization... Matching cultural concepts...]

Su Yun recoiled as if electrocuted, leaning back and slumping onto the sofa.

The miniature totem pole on the ground emitted a clear, melodious hum.

The next second, Su Yun felt that the air in the living room had changed.

The air, which was originally hot and slightly dusty, was instantly replaced by an indescribable coolness. It wasn't the cold air from an air conditioner, but a sense of clarity, like being in an ancient temple deep in the mountains at dawn, when the first rays of sunlight pierce through the thin mist.

Beside the coffee table, the originally unremarkable wooden totem now subtly reveals a warm, jade-like quality.

A wisp of purple, extremely faint and light, like a stroke of ink that is inadvertently spread in a traditional Chinese painting, rises gently from the top of the totem.

Ignoring the ceiling and the concrete barrier, it rises straight up and then spreads in all directions and into the distance.

Su Yun subconsciously looked at the system panel, which had been completely revamped.

【Auspicious Purple Qi from the East (LV1)】

[Description: A breeze begins with a ripple on the water, and its energy flows across the land.]

[Effect 1: All friendly units within the territory of Longxia Kingdom have their mana/stamina regeneration speed increased by 500% (base value) + 100% per second (additional value).]

[Effect 2: Dispels negative status effects, enhances comprehension, and calms the mind.]

[Current consumption: 10 mana points (already deducted), subsequent maintenance consumption: 0 (due to the characteristic of "all land under heaven belongs to the king," the consumption is compensated by the free energy of heaven and earth).]

Su Yun stared at the "500%" data and the absurd 100% extra value per second, falling into a long silence.

Is that correct?

Is this reasonable?

He reached out and picked up the cool boiled water next to the coffee table.

The water surface is calm, but if you look closely, you will find that the water has become unusually clear, and even the water droplets condensed on the cup wall have a lively feel to them.

Su Yun took a sip.

Sweet and refreshing, it went down my throat and instantly relieved the migraine that had been lingering from the depletion of my brain cells.

"This skill is a bit outrageous..."

Su Yun put down her cup, walked to the window, and opened it.

In the old neighborhood, the streetlights cast a dim yellow glow. The stray cats downstairs, who had been fighting over half a sausage by the trash can, all stopped and lay down on the ground, squinting their eyes and purring contentedly, as if they had collectively inhaled premium catnip.

The old locust tree, which was originally half-dead, seemed to have unfurled its leaves, rustling in the night wind with a particularly pleasant sound.

This change is very subtle, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth.

If you're a careless ordinary person, you might just think that the night is beautiful and the air is fresh.

But this change is also very strong.

Because Su Yun could see very clearly that the mana bar in the upper right corner of his vision, which had been half depleted, was being replenished at lightning speed.

Moreover, it wasn't just his mana that was restored; his mental energy seemed to be cleansed by some gentle yet powerful force with each breath.

"So...is this commotion a bit bigger than expected?"

……

At the same time.

Inside a building within Beijing's First Ring Road that resembles a giant crystal prism.

This is the highest-level magic monitoring center in the Dragonxia Kingdom, also known as the "Sky Eye." It is connected to the ley line sensing towers buried throughout the country, so even if a wild, commander-level magical beast farts at the border, the screens here will show fluctuations.

It was 7:30 p.m.

The monitoring hall was brightly lit, and dozens of data analysts in uniforms stared listlessly at their screens. Most of their work was spent in this monotonous routine.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, this weather is so hot! Even with the constant temperature array activated, it still feels unbearably hot."

In the corner, a young monitor loosened his collar, slid his swivel chair to the next table, and said, "Do you think there's been fighting again on the front lines recently? I noticed the Eastern Theater Command's energy index was a bit high yesterday."

The middle-aged man, called Lao Zhang, was holding a thermos and carefully blowing on the goji berries floating on top.

"Don't worry about it. If a fight really breaks out, the sirens will have deafened you long ago," Old Zhang said slowly, taking a sip of tea. "In our line of work, no news is good news. As long as that red line doesn't cross..."

Before he could finish speaking...

drop--

A very soft but extremely high-frequency electronic sound suddenly rang out in the hall.

Old Zhang's thermos cup trembled, and a few drops of scalding tea splashed onto the back of his hand.

"Where did that sound come from?"

"I...I don't know!" The young monitor's face suddenly turned pale as he pointed to the main screen in front of him and said, "Brother Zhang...Brother Zhang, look at this!"

Old Zhang looked up.

On the enormous holographic map covering the entire territory of the Dragon Xia Kingdom, the green energy curve, which had originally represented stability, was now like a snake on stimulants, frantically raising its head upwards.

"The energy level is soaring! 10%...50%...100%!"

"Holy crap! What the hell?! It's broken 200%! And it's still going up!"

The entire hall erupted in chaos, with the sounds of dozens of chairs overturning mingling together.

"Locate the energy source! Quickly locate the NL source!"

"Has a lord of the abyss forcibly torn through space and descended?"

"Wait a minute, boss! This isn't destructive energy!" a bespectacled girl shouted, her voice tinged with confusion. "The data coming back from the sensor towers all over the place... the data shows this is 'high-purity active magic'!"

"What do you mean?" The supervisor on duty rushed over, sweating profusely. "Speak like a human being!"

"It's like... the magic in the environment suddenly increased, and became particularly... docile?" The girl with glasses stammered as she looked at the data stream that defied common sense. "It's like someone injected a super nutrient into the entire air of the Dragonxia Kingdom."

The director was stunned.

He had been monitoring for thirty years, witnessing the tides of monsters, the clash of forbidden spells, and even the energy collapse when a super S-class powerhouse fell.

But he had never seen such a sight before.

There was no explosion, no earthquake, and no spatial tearing.

It was as if a canal had suddenly been opened to the parched land. The magical environment of the entire Dragonxia Kingdom was instantly elevated to a new level, and it was still galloping at an extremely fast speed.

"What's the scope?" The director stared intently at the screen. "Where does this level of magical resurgence originate? Has some ancient ruin been opened?"

"Unable to locate the source!"

The young monitor's hands flew across the keyboard, his face a picture of utter disbelief: "This energy... it's erupting simultaneously across the entire region! From the outposts in the northern deserts to the islands in the South China Sea, even within the first ring road of Beijing... at the same time, in the same second, the values ​​are all rising!"

"This is impossible!" The director slammed his hand on the table. "Even the forbidden spell 'Heavenly Descent' has a core incantation that radiates from a single point! How could it possibly activate synchronously across the entire map? This violates the fundamental laws of magic transmission! This amount of magic infusion... could it be that some supreme deity is attempting to bless the entire Dragonxia Kingdom?!"

The hall was deathly silent.

Everyone stared at the flickering map, a feeling of utter absurdity rising within them.

Instantaneous gain covering 960 million square kilometers?

What kind of skill is that?

If it was done by someone, how much mana would that person need? Even if you drained all the people in the room and burned them as firewood, you probably wouldn't get even a fraction of that.

Just then, Lao Zhang suddenly pointed to a split screen next to him.

"Director, look at this... This is partial monitoring data from the High School Affiliated to Peking University."

The director leaned over to take a look.

It was an extremely microscopic energy cloud map. Although the entire capital city was glowing, in the old city area, where Su Yun's family lived, the mysterious purple energy seemed to be... slightly more concentrated by one in a billion.

But because the surrounding data is skyrocketing, this subtle difference is like an extra drop of water in the ocean, almost imperceptible.

"What's wrong with this area?" the director asked, frowning.

"It seems... the fluctuation occurred 0.01 seconds earlier than elsewhere." Old Zhang wasn't entirely sure, since it was within the acceptable margin of error.

"check!"

The director made a decisive decision: "Whether it's a deity passing by or a change in the earth's ley lines, this is a major event that must be reported to the military! Also, send two teams to this coordinate point, equipped with the highest-precision magic detectors!"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked out the window at the still calm night sky.

For some reason, he felt that the moon seemed brighter than usual tonight.

……
