Master Changsheng

Chapter 86, Chapter 085: Elite NPC

The first floor of the Mage Tower.

With a smile on his face and holding the Meditation Staff, An Kai was about to experience the Lv21 Meditation when he suddenly froze.

The effect of the Meditation Staff has disappeared...

...

Meditation Staff: Lv1

[Quality: Top Grade]

[Usage Requirements: Intelligence 10, Constitution 10, Strength 10, Endurance 10.]

[Note: Holding it while meditating might have special effects!]

Looking at the unchanged [Meditation Staff] system notification, he saw nothing.

Ankai realized one thing: the problem wasn't with the Meditation Staff, but with his meditation itself…

Set the Meditation Staff aside.

An Kai closed his eyes, his heart pounding with trepidation, and began to meditate…

Four hours later.

Ankai opened his eyes…

"not bad…"

[Attribute Points +1]

Then, add them to your [Strength] attribute in order.

【Strength: 415】

The most noticeable effect of upgrading the [Meditation] level to [Lv21], which means entering the third tier, first level, is that the time to acquire attribute points has been reduced by 5 hours.

Even if the Meditation Staff is unusable, this improvement is still quite good.

Besides these, the newly appearing system prompts piqued An Kai's curiosity.

He flipped through the records and found the system record above the attribute point acquisition...

[Meditation Lv21] Quality upgraded to 'Superior A-'

【Meditation Lv21『460/460』『Superior A-』】

[Achieve the status of 'Elite NPC']

After clicking through the three system prompts one by one, An Kai finally understood why they appeared.

The [Mage Body Lv3] skill not only reduces the time required for Ankai to gain an attribute point from 12.5 hours to 10 hours, but also allows him to achieve the same effect.

Furthermore, after Ankai's [Meditation Lv21] underwent the enhancement and operation of [Mage Body Lv3], it obtained the 'Superior-' quality among spells!

Of course, this also explains why Ankai spent 10 times the skill points to upgrade his spell level. If he hadn't spent 10 times, he would have needed to refine the spell's quality for a while longer to improve it...

According to the system prompts, spell quality is divided into: blank, common, superior, fine, and excellent.

Each quality is further divided into three sub-levels: '-', 'space', and '+'.

Same rating as equipment items.

Quality not only represents the quality of a spell, but is also a factor that determines strength. Within each level, spells of the same quality also differ in function, power, and effect.

It was also because the quality of [Meditation] was upgraded to 'Superior-' that Ankai gained the additional identity of 'Elite NPC'.

With this identity, Ankai can weaken the enemy's strength when facing enemies of lower quality than "Elite NPC".

Of course, this is most useful for Ankai when facing enemies of similar strength.

The weak can win without the pressure of status, and the strong cannot gain anything by using status to suppress them.

In addition, Ankai himself possesses the talent of [Mage Body Lv3].

When facing enemies, talents below [Lv3] will also be suppressed by him.

The combination of his identity and talent allows An Kai to gain the upper hand when facing enemies of equal strength!

What was originally a 50/50 situation can become a 70/30 or even 80/20 situation due to the suppression of status and talent.

These are the changes that come about after meditation has improved.

"Do other spells change in the same way?" Ankai wondered to himself.

With a thought, he activated the [Fireball] spell, and a dark brown fireball, four meters in diameter and radiating high temperature, appeared in the mage tower.

Originally, the Fireball spell had a diameter of only three meters, but after the upgrade, plus the bonus from Mage Body Lv3, the Fireball spell, which originally increased in diameter by 50 centimeters, increased in diameter by one meter.

Furthermore, once the [Fireball] spell appears, it repels all other magical elements within a five-meter radius around it.

By leaving only the fire elemental power, the [Fireball] spell becomes purer and more powerful!

However, being inside the mage tower, Ankai worried that experimenting with the [Fireball] spell might destroy the tower…

With a wave of his hand, he dissipated the [Fireball] spell...

[Fireball Lv21] Quality upgraded to 'Superior'

Fireball Lv21『460/460』『Superior』

"Just as I thought, it seems my 10x skill points were well spent..."

Seeing that the [Fireball] spell had also reached the 'Superior-' quality, An Kai chuckled, feeling quite pleased.

However, An Kai's identity remained unchanged this time.

According to the system introduction, to change one's identity, the spell quality must be upgraded to 'Premium'...

Although his spell quality is only 'Superior-' at this moment, An Kai believes that as long as he is willing to spend skill points and continuously improve his attribute points and spell level, he will eventually reach 'Excellent'!

After completing the experiment with the Fireball spell, An Kai conjured the Freeze spell with a thought.

After careful contemplation, there are still 99 changes, but with the combined blessing of [Mage Body Lv3] and [Meditation Lv21],

Regarding the defensive aspects of the Freeze spell, there have been significant changes!

Centered on An Kai, within a three-dimensional radius of one meter around him, the ground, space, and magical elements were all frozen!

Countless ice-elemental magic condensed into tiny, hard ice layers, covering a three-dimensional area of ​​one meter around Ankai.

To attack Ankai, one must first break through this frozen space.

Although frozen, An Kai was unaffected by the ice, and the frozen defensive space would move with him!

[Freeze Spell Lv21] Quality upgraded to 'Superior'

【Freeze Spell Lv21『460/460』『Superior-』】

With a thought, he dispelled the [Freezing Spell].

Ankai was quite satisfied with the upgrade to [Freezing Spell].

His own defenses have been strengthened once again.

"Sense of security +1".

An Kai chuckled and muttered to himself, then actively activated the upgraded [Magic Armor]...

An Kai was enveloped in a two-and-a-half-meter-long suit of jet-black armor, covered with exquisite lines.

A surge of intense magical energy emanated from his right foot.

After reflecting on this, An Kai understood.

At this point, in addition to the increased strength, the [Magic Armor] skill has also undergone new changes due to the [Mage Body Lv3] and the cost of ten times the skill points.

The blazing magical element on his right foot is a symbol of fire magic being integrated into the [Magic Armor] spell...

Unfortunately, although the right foot was burning hot, it remained jet black; only upon close inspection could one discern a tiny hint of red…

It's exactly the same as Ankai's [Fireball]...

Judging from this situation, it seems they're heading down the "dark" path forever.

With a thought, the armor of the [Magic Armor] technique vanished.

[Face Armor Lv21] Quality upgraded to 'Superior'

【Magic Armor Lv21『460/460』『Superior-』】

Store the [Beast Meat Refining Table] in your storage ring.

Ankai began experimenting with his final spell—[Summon]…

Magical elements converged, and a six-pointed star array appeared beneath their feet.

In the blink of an eye, a flash of light appeared.

[Spiky Ground Bug: Lv21]

A large, brown worm, half a meter long, with sharp teeth all over its mouth, appeared at Ankai's feet...

"I want to eat..."

"I'm so hungry..."

"The ground is so hard, I can't drill through it..."

An Kai cursed under his breath, wielding the [Brute Force Staff], and instantly killed the summoned creature at his feet...

"unlucky!"

"Summoned an idiot!"

"What an idiot! He doesn't even have a magic core!"

Muttering to himself, he walked towards the third floor of the mage tower...
