Chapter 233: Studying in the Game?

The peaceful and boring closed-door cultivation began, Xiao Feng stayed in the Xiao residence, relying on the assistance of his divine spark to cultivate his willpower.

The newly obtained earth-element divine spark is somewhat special, because the weather mage's four-element magic does not include earth, so Xiao Feng has so far mastered only a few earth-element skills.

However, the Book of Elements is not the weather mage's professional book; it contains everything, and learning from it is not difficult.

The characteristic of earth element is heaviness, usually understood as a system inclined toward defense.

The magic of this system includes various shields, and its survivability is tenacious.

Of course, it's not that it lacks offensive capability.

For example, the Forbidden Curse Earthquake Technique is a classic earth-element destructive magic, and the epic skills "Wrath of the Earth" and "Rock-Shattering Demon Spear" also have formidable destructive power.

Xiao Feng initially learned minor skills, sitting on the ground to comprehend the earth element.

After spending over an hour, he learned his first self-developed earth-element skill.

【Small Earth Spike Technique】: Release small earth spikes, dealing spell damage equal to 20% of attack and applying a slow effect for 5 seconds, cooldown 3 seconds.

This skill is a bit sinister; when released, a spike suddenly pops up from under the foot, piercing a hole in the sole.

The player's body won't be injured, but it will hurt, making them unable to walk, and they need 5 seconds to recover.

emmm…… However, given Xiao Feng's damage, basically a single stab to the sole kills the person, so they never get to feel the slow effect!

After learning earth-element, Xiao Feng began studying lightning-element.

His thunder-element divine spark is the highest quality among the three divine sparks, and when randomly obtained it happened to be a Mid-Rank God Divine Spark, giving him a stronger affinity for the elements than ordinary.

Xiao Feng, holding the thunder-element divine spark, also spent over an hour and learned a self-developed lightning-element skill.

【Small Electric Spark Technique】: Release an electric current to strike the enemy, dealing spell damage equal to 150% of attack, cooldown 1 second.

The damage of the just-comprehended Small Electric Spark Technique is surprisingly considerable; I don't know if it's due to the divine spark being too high-grade or if lightning-element is inherently like this.

These skills are not yet upgraded; once upgraded, their power will increase further.

However, that requires proficiency and stronger willpower.

After Xiao Feng comprehended the two skills, he began practicing control of elemental power to hone his willpower.

During the time he comprehended the two skills, his willpower had increased somewhat, reaching 861.

Afterwards he remained seated motionless, diligently studying, with a steady increase of 5-8 points per hour.

During the cultivation process, elements surrounded his body, and electric currents made crackling sounds.

The Mid-Rank God Divine Spark contains immense energy; although he cannot yet draw it forth, merely the divine spark's own attraction of elemental power already shows a hint.

If the energy within a single divine spark were completely detonated, the entire city would likely be razed to flat ground.

In the Xiao residence, several friends were also cultivating individually, occasionally walking around to relax.

After everyone exchanged their Mythic Battlefield gear, they all now have top-tier attributes, each capable of standing alone.

Xiao Feng's cultivation is relatively "silent"; he plays with the elements alone, needing no interaction with others. Everyone sees him immersed and seldom comes to disturb him.

Unnoticed, over ten hours passed.

In the game, it's already the 9th day since the server opened.

In the real world, almost a full day has passed, time moving from late night to daytime, and from morning to noon.

"Old Xiao, want to log off and eat something? We'll bring you food!" Li Li sent a message via the friend function from several hundred meters away, fearing Xiao Feng wouldn't hear.

"Let's go together, no need to bring anything." Xiao Feng temporarily stopped cultivating.

After checking his status, following over ten hours of tempering, his willpower had reached 950, not far from breaking through the realm.

If no one called him, he would surely cultivate straight to 1000 in one go, then eat after breaking through.

However, his roommates had already greeted him, and he was already far ahead of other players, so he wasn't in a hurry.

The three of them logged off together, washed up, and went out to have lunch.

Dun Dun, Mang Mei, and Xing Yun Miao, who were also cultivating together, also logged off at that time to eat.

The game "Myriad Heavens" is equivalent to taking place in a dream; this kind of "sleep" is slightly poorer in quality than actually lying down to sleep, but it still amounts to half the effect.

After playing all day, the three of them felt only slightly tired, not enough to become panda-eyed.

At this moment the real-world time is 11:30, and since it's the weekend, there are fewer people than usual.

Xiao Feng and the three habitually walked to the cafeteria window to get meals; when swiping their campus cards to pay, Xiao Feng finally remembered to check his bank balance.

Hmm……

Upon opening his phone, he saw the last text message reminder sent four hours ago; Yang Yixiao (Zhan Tian) transferred 200 million funds to him in his personal name, and now the card balance is 530 million.

"Tsk, Boss Xiao is so rich yet still queues with us to eat cafeteria food—so down-to-earth!" Zhang Fan, standing behind Xiao Feng, saw his action and couldn't help teasing.

Xiao Feng smiled faintly and asked, "How much have you two cashed out?"

The two close buddies, although they can't earn as much as he does, have over the game's nine days actually obtained quite a bit of equipment and high-end items to sell; then they cashed out the gold coins, which became cash in hand.

Zhang Fan held up four fingers.

"Forty million?" Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised.

But after thinking, now the market price of a single Mythic item is already over a million, Mythic scrolls, potions, etc. are also in the hundreds of thousands, plus the large amount of gold coins from previous dungeon runs, so this number really isn't much.

Li Li said, "I've kept less money in the game; I've cashed out 1,000 more than Old Zhang. By the way, Old Xiao… we talked about moving out last night, didn't we? When are you planning to do that?"

Next door dormitory houses a group of people who play instruments; every late night they can make people's souls scatter from the noise.

They've long had enough of such days, but earlier conditions didn't allow it, so they could only endure.

Now the three of them are multi-millionaires starting out, so there's naturally no need to continue suffering this.

After Xiao Feng finished his meal, he thought and said, "Better to pick a day than to wait for an auspicious one; let's just do it today. Anyway, there's nothing major happening in the game for now, so let's move out quickly and then we can play with peace of mind."

"Today? Meaning… we set off right after eating?" The two frowned slightly.

"What? Is procrastination acting up, and you don't want to go?" Xiao Feng laughed.

A common ailment of contemporary college students: they put off whatever they can, talking enthusiastically but physically unwilling to act.

If it weren't something they had to do, they could literally procrastinate until the ends of the earth!

However, this matter is still quite important; we should also be proactive!

"Go, of course we go! We're still waiting to see Boss Xiao pay in full for a villa, then split a garage for us two brothers to live in!" Li Li said with a smile.

While chatting and laughing, the three had finished preparing their meals, sat down, and began to eat.

At that moment, the cafeteria was crowded, with the chatter of two or three hundred people noisy and bustling, quite lively.

Many people were discussing the information about the game 'Myriad Heavens'.

Just one day after its launch in the real world, this game had already swept across the entire Blue Star, with virtually everyone knowing about it.

Of course, there were also some people who loved studying or preferred other types of entertainment and did not enter the game on the first day.

Next to Xiao Feng and his two companions, a poor student told the top student seated beside him, saying that the game's time ratio is 10:1, allowing one to enjoy ten times the lifespan inside!

The top student immediately became excited and hurriedly asked, "Can we possibly put all our study materials inside and study there?"

This striving spirit left Xiao Feng and the others dumbfounded.

Moreover, studying with ten times the time sounds pretty impressive!

If we moved a scientific academy into the game and spent three to five years researching there, wouldn't technology instantly skyrocket?

Um... however, it seems there aren't that many research tools in the game, and many rules differ from the real world; learning knowledge is fine, but conducting research seems impossible.

Nevertheless, this concept of tenfold time still holds tremendous utilitarian value!
