My talent panel can be increased

With this in mind, Ye Mingqiu brought books with him when he came, and read them while others were fighting, learning the basics of becoming a mage.

Although his profession is fixed, having multiple skills is still quite good. For example, having multiple healing spells makes him seem more like a support, and he also has some value in actual combat.

I understand.

Ye Mingqiu closed the book, slowly raised 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, giving it basic attributes and its own elemental power.

Manipulating psychic energy with one's mind is very difficult, requiring extremely high proficiency or strong concentration. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot quickly become mages; they must continuously grow stronger through years of accumulation.

Ye Mingqiu had also undergone this kind of training many times.

Just kidding. Although he knew he was a good-for-nothing and could never become a mage, how could a young man full of vigor not even try after learning the basic theories of magic? He not only tried, but tried for a long time and many times, only to fail repeatedly.

Ye Mingqiu wasn't learning magic from scratch today; he was reviewing what he had learned before and trying to see if he could succeed after officially becoming a psychic.

"call!"

Suddenly, a tiny flame appeared in Ye Mingqiu's palm. It was small and fragile, as if it might be blown away by the wind at any moment, but it appeared and swayed firmly in his palm.

"You succeeded? Just once?"

Tang Ruobing said in surprise.

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded, tiny flames flickering in his pupils, igniting the pain and bitterness of countless nights and failures. He smiled with relief, his throat slightly dry, but he still said firmly, "Because, I am a genius."

"."

Tang Ruobing remained silent, her gaze towards him becoming complicated. Finally, she sighed, unable to bear telling Ye Mingqiu that she had already accomplished this when she was eight years old.

Using spells is actually the most challenging yet simplest part of a mage's training. Those with the right aptitude can easily master it, but even if they do, they can't achieve much effect. They must continuously learn and study to become stronger.

"I advise you not to spend too much time learning spells in the future. After all, you are not a mage, and even if you study, it won't replace the significant results," Tang Ruobing said.

"Yes, I know, but true geniuses often don't need much learning to achieve results," Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile.

Although his starting point was a bit low, at least he learned a lot of knowledge in high school. For a mage, the accumulation of knowledge is extremely important. With a large reserve of knowledge, his magical cultivation will certainly not be too slow.

With a dream in his heart, Ye Mingqiu continued to study basic spells, trying to construct magic of different elements and experience the joy of being a mage.

Meanwhile, Lei Peng used his shield to block the vines of the thorny iron tree, Lin Feng wielded his blood-red greatsword and severed the vines of the thorny iron tree with a single strike, and Ke Fanxing fired shots from behind, inflicting negative damage. The battle was extremely fierce.

Because they were facing a level 4 boss, who was extremely powerful and of a higher level than them, with a strong attribute advantage.

But

Under the aura of invincibility, they are not afraid of a protracted battle with the thorny iron tree. On the contrary, the longer the battle lasts, the stronger the effect of the aura of invincibility becomes.

"This is really tough."

Lei Peng blocked the whipping once again, wiped the sweat from his brow, and breathed heavily. Although his lifeline was safe, he felt that his strength was running out, but he didn't know how long this protracted battle would last.

He turned around and called out, "Brother Qiu, can you do me a favor?"

Ye Mingqiu's experimental spell was interrupted. He sighed, dispersed the wisp of wind in his hand, and turned to look at the thorny iron tree. He then cast a psionic enchantment on Lin Feng's weapon, greatly increasing its attack power.

"Oh! Here we come!"

Lin Feng shouted excitedly, drew his sword and charged towards the thorny iron tree. He cleaved the iron tree in half with a single strike, a look of immense excitement spreading across his face. He then continued his relentless assault on the thorny iron tree.

Soon after, the thorny iron tree crashed to the ground, and Lei Peng and the other two collapsed from exhaustion. They laughed as they looked at the broken branches of the thorny iron tree, knowing that the branches and trunk were worth a lot of money and could fetch a good price if sold.

Sure enough, with strong support, the team's combat power can be greatly improved. That's great!

Chapter 41 The Crimson Shadow Era

One day after the Spirit Realm, two hours in reality, the five-person team emerged from the Spirit Realm. The three in front wore incredibly excited smiles; their gains this time were far greater than before.

"Brother Qiu, your aura is too strong! I haven't needed to take any medicine when I fight, saving me a lot of money!" Lei Peng said excitedly with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, in order to increase the speed of acquiring materials in battle and obtain greater benefits, Lei Peng and others would use potions to replenish their health and spiritual energy while exploring the Lesser Spirit Realm, thereby improving their combat efficiency.

However, good potions are not cheap and require a lot of psionic points to purchase. Although you earn more overall, the psionic points spent on potions are not a small amount.

Unbreakable in a hundred battles not only greatly enhances their endurance in battle, but also eliminates the need for them to spend psionic points on other potions, significantly reducing combat consumption and greatly increasing combat benefits.

Therefore, even if Ye Mingqiu was sitting on the side reading a book, or even just playing with walnuts and walking his birds near the battle area, as long as this "father's" invincible aura was still there, he was still the father.

"Hey, it's nothing. I just provided you with an aura effect. You guys did all the fighting yourselves, I didn't contribute anything," Ye Mingqiu said modestly with a smile.

"Oh, not at all, you've made a huge contribution. Do you know how much our profits have increased this time?"

"How many?"

"Three times! It's tripled! A full three times!"

Lei Peng laughed excitedly and continued, "Because of your aura, along with your control and enchantments, we were able to defeat many bosses we couldn't before. Plus, the battle frequency was higher, and we hardly used any potions—it was amazing! If you ever need more people for the Spirit Realm Trials, be sure to come to me!"

"I try my best."

Ye Mingqiu smiled and then asked, "So, how much will we make on this trip?"

"That's quite a lot, over a thousand spirit energy points. If you divide it up, each person will get three or four hundred, which is almost equivalent to the income from one trip to the spirit realm," Lei Peng replied.

"Oh, that's quite a lot."

Ye Mingqiu answered politely.

“I’ll handle the stuff. I’ll transfer the energy points to you directly in a couple of days. Don’t refuse; it’s what you deserve,” Lei Peng said, patting Ye Mingqiu on the back with one hand.

"it is good."

Two days later, Sunday

Ye Mingqiu took out the [Blood Soul Revenge] that Tang Ruobing had given him before, which was the special item that forcibly teleported him to the Spirit Realm for a trial.

He had checked and found that the Crimson Era world brought into by Blood Soul Revenge was a low-level world with strong rules. For a level 1 psionicist, it was only difficult, with a relatively low risk factor, and the rewards were also good, making it a relatively good world.

But

If it's only the hard difficulty level, the rewards are still a bit too low!

[You have used the item - Blood Soul Revenge]

In an instant, several blood-red tentacles emerged from the void, tightly binding Ye Mingqiu and dragging him into the void, pulling him into the Spirit Realm - Crimson Hidden Era plane.

[Enter the World - The Crimson Era]

[Difficulty Level: Hell]

Note: The original difficulty level was Hard, but your early arrival has angered the Crimson Supreme, causing the difficulty of the Crimson Era world to rise sharply, and it has now been raised to Hell level.

Crimson Supreme?

Ye Mingqiu's eyes twitched, a little scared in his heart. If the hellish Crimson Shadow Era world had a hegemon-level powerhouse like the previous destruction of Chaoge, then the Crimson Supreme was most likely that hegemon-level unit. If I provoked a hegemon-level unit at the beginning, would I still have a chance to live?

Synopsis: In human society, there is a blood-red monster lurking among humans. Normally, they have an appearance that is no different from humans, but they only reveal their ferocious true form to certain people when they need to eat.

[Main Quest]

First Stage - Initial Entry

Mission objective: Find a place to settle down or a faction to join in the world of the Crimson Era. You can choose to join either the Crimson Monsters or the human faction.

Time limit: 3 hours

Quest Reward: 200 Psionic Points

Task penalty: All attributes -2

The familiar feeling of time travel gradually disappeared. When Ye Mingqiu opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar city. The rain was pouring down, and there were occasional thunderclaps.

Ye Mingqiu observed carefully and found himself squatting in the corner of the alley.

He slowly stood up and walked out of the alley. A bustling and magnificent world came into view, with colorful lights flashing and illuminating the night.

According to the guide, although the world of Crimson Era is on the hard level, and you may be attacked and killed by blood-red monsters at any moment, as long as you are in a crowd, in public, there is no way that monsters will attack you. They are like rats in the gutter, unable to stand the light.

Currently, there are two forces that can be joined: the human force or the Crimson Force. But how could Ye Mingqiu, a pure-blooded human, possibly integrate into the monsters? Even if he were to join voluntarily, would those monsters be willing to accept him?

Being surrounded and killed is probably more likely.

Let's go to a crowded place first!

Two minutes later, Ye Mingqiu arrived at a coffee shop, sat by the window, looked out at the world pouring rain, and felt the temperature inside, but he did not feel at ease.

"Young man, what would you like to drink?"

An elderly man with white hair walked by, a kind smile on his face. Although he was old, his clothes were neat and clean, without a single wrinkle, making him look very pleasant.

Hot latte.

Ye Mingqiu replied.

A short while later, the old man smiled and brought over a latte, placing it steadily in front of him, and said, "Please enjoy."

"Thank you."

Ye Mingqiu expressed his gratitude, looked out the window while drinking his hot latte, and felt a little more at ease, but he also felt a strange palpitation. He didn't know why he felt this way, but he just felt very uncomfortable.

After quickly finishing his latte, Ye Mingqiu reached into his pocket, only to be "surprisingly" find that he had no money. He then looked at the kind old man, scratched his head awkwardly, and said, "Um, grandpa, I forgot to bring any money with me today. Can I pay for this latte by working for you?"

The old man frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, but finally smiled and said, "Alright then, you just need to work for me for one hour."

"Thank you! Thank you very much!"

Ye Mingqiu smiled happily and asked, "So what will my main responsibilities be? Is it okay if I don't change clothes and just wear this uniform? Don't worry, I will definitely do my job well!"

"hehe."

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "You don't need to change your clothes. You just need to help carry things and clean up the coffee shop. A latte doesn't cost much anyway."

"clear."

[Hint: Main Quest - First Stage Completed]

Chapter 42 First Entry, Exploration

You have gained 200 Psionic Points.

[You have joined the camp - Coffee Shop]

[Faction reputation unlocked, current reputation level: Neutral]

[Main Quest Part 2 Unlocked]

Mission objective: Gain a deeper understanding of this world, acquire more useful information, and unlock the third stage.

Time limit: 2 days

Quest Reward: 200 Psionic Points

Task penalty: All attributes -3

Ye Mingqiu glanced at the mission penalty and knew that the mission difficulty was probably very low. Truly difficult missions had no penalty, such as the survival trial, which did not require any mission penalty at all.

In addition, the essence of the first task is to find a place to live. Although the old shopkeeper said on the surface that he would only work for one hour, he should actually be willing to accept him, otherwise he would not have been able to complete the task.

The store manager was a very nice person; none of the follow-up plans I had made were needed.

The café's initial reputation is neutral, which means it's a relatively friendly faction that's more willing to accept and care for outsiders. However, it's probably difficult to raise the reputation to a very high level in a short period of time.

There are seven reputation levels: Hateful, Indifferent, Neutral, Friendly, Honored, Revered, and Exalted. Generally, reaching Honored is the limit. Reaching Revered and Exalted requires making significant contributions to the faction, which is very difficult.

At night, coffee shops are like erasers forgotten in a corner of the city, wiping away the fatigue and irritability in customers' hearts and bringing peace and tranquility.

Ye Mingqiu cleaned the entire coffee shop, then casually sat down at a table, wiping the sweat from his brow as if panting. The manager stood behind the counter, wiping cups as always, as if performing a task that could never be completed.

"Crench."

The door hinges emitted a slightly dry groan, and a figure carrying a black backpack walked in, bringing rain-soaked water stains into the store.

Looks like we'll have to clean up again soon, Ye Mingqiu thought to himself.

He silently observed each guest while listening to the news on the television, trying to find information about the blood-red monster to proceed with the next step.

The guest wore a faded blue school uniform jacket, the zipper neatly zipped up to his chest, revealing the clean white T-shirt collar underneath. His soft black hair fell across his forehead, framing a face that was almost too handsome, with a hint of naivety and confusion in his eyes, like an ordinary high school student who had gotten lost and wandered into this place.

He walked straight to the bar, his voice low and with just the right amount of restraint: "One black coffee, please."

"it is good."

The owner nodded kindly, a friendly smile spreading across his squinty face, and turned to make coffee.
