Chapter 26: Close to 200 Days of Closed Door Meditation

Translator: Lonelytree

An Kai returned to the tavern where he lived.

He found the shop owner and exchanged ten gold coins for the amount of food that filled the first storage ring.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still dark, he did not stop and ran towards the Evergreen Gang’s encampment.

Ten minutes later, An Kai arrived at the Evergreen Clan’s encampment.

After careful observation, there were only two guards left in the Evergreen gang, and they were discussing their killing experiences.

To see who killed more people.

After confirming that there were only two of them, An Kai sent two fireballs to them without hesitation.

The two Evergreen Gang members who had killed countless people were unable to resist and died in the violent explosion.

After that, An Kai rushed into the Evergreen Clan’s encampment. After a round of searching, he found some stored meat and an empty storage ring.

It was about two cubic meters in size.

There were also some job skill books that could be sold for a good price.

Other than these, there was nothing else.

An Kai guessed that the better resources and the like should be in the storage ring in the hand of Evergreen Gang’s leader.

He had seen it before. That guy was wearing two rings.

However, this trip was not in vain. At least he had obtained a storage ring that was about two cubic meters in size.

Including his two three-cubic-meter rings, he had a total of eight cubic meters in storage.

Moreover, he also obtained more than 20 gold coins worth of food from the Changqing Gang.

Overall, this trip was worth it!

He estimated that with his current appetite, the stored food should be able to last him for about five years.

An Kai released several fireballs in succession, igniting the Evergreen Gang’s encampment before rushing out of the Chaos City.

In the darkness, he disappeared into the desert outside chaos city.

The destination of An Kai’s closed-door training was none other than his secret hideout in Oasis.

He could not enter the mage tower yet. After entering, he would have to reach 100 points of Intelligence to activate the mission.

God knows that mission would not be easy.

If he were trapped for too long, he might die of starvation.

Furthermore, An Kai already knew that his appetite would increase as his attributes increased.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the secret stronghold in the oasis was suitable for his seclusion.

It was hidden, and he could also venture out to obtain some food if necessary.

.

The next day, while An Kai was running, he saw that the Evergreen Gang had issued a wanted order for him and Hanks through the side quest plotline panel.

He could not help but mutter that he was stingy.

He had already given him the big Split Mountain Gang, yet he still cared about small fries like that.

At the same time, An Kai also noticed that Will Buklin did not choose to return to the Capital of Bucklin. According to the side quest introduction, he was prepared to use Chaos City to help him take revenge.

To be precise, he planned to go through the Rewards Tower.

However, the wealth required for revenge was astronomical. Will Buklin had hidden his identity and was working hard in Chaos City for this goal.

Two days later.

An Kai returned to his second secret hideout in the oasis.

He moved the boulder away with both hands and entered the cave. Then, he blocked the boulder.

He used the Fireball Spell to light up the cave.

An Kai took out the low-grade sorcerer’s stone.

[Skill Points +100.]

Looking at his skill points, he had already reached 101 points!

The three digits…

Taking advantage of his high spirits, An Kai took out the Meditation Staff and began his closed-door meditation.

With the [Meditation Staff] in his hand, An Kai only needed to focus on meditation for a day and a half to obtain an attribute point.

One and a half months later.

An Kai ended a round of meditation.

[Attribute Point +1]

As usual, An Kai chose to add the newly obtained attribute points to his Intelligence attribute.

[Intelligence +1]

[Intelligence: 61]

After spending one and a half months, including half a month of rest, An Kai successfully increased his four attributes to 60 points!

Now that his Intelligence had broken through to 61 points, the barrier of spells was once again broken through!

With a wave of his hand, he chose to add points to his heart’s content!

[Skill Points-30]

[Fireball proficiency +10]

[Meditation proficiency +10]

[Freeze proficiency +10]

At this point, all three spell levels had reached [Lv7 ❮ 70/70 ❯]!

Pushing aside the boulder, An Kai came to the shore of the lake in the oasis.

The Fireball appeared in his hand. The huge Fireball Spell figure was as big as a car from An Kai’s previous life.

He raised the fireball high and waved his hand. The huge fireball instantly smashed into the lake!

Boom!

A huge roar sounds out, and the lake and the desert crocodile were blown to pieces.

A deep pit with a diameter of more than five meters appeared in the ground where the Fireball was cast!

“This should be enough to kill Richardson, right?”

After muttering to himself, An Kai was in a good mood and returned to his cave.

In the desert, the cave of about 50 square meters was invaded by the heat wave just by moving the boulder for a short while.

As soon as he walked into the cave, a heatwave assaulted his face.

With a thought, An Kai formed a layer of ice in his hand.

First, he used a three-meter-tall boulder to block the entrance of the cave. Then, he pressed the hand holding the Freeze spell on the ground.

In an instant, a thin layer of ice spread out with An Kai as the centre.

The 50-square-meter space inside the cave was not enough for one Freeze spell.

However, what An Kai did not lack the most was mana. The balanced development of his four attributes allowed his mana storage to far exceed that of mages of the same level.

The Freezing Spell in his hand continuously appeared and spread out with An Kai as the centre.

Five minutes later.

An Kai released 23 Freeze Spells, covering the cave with a shallow layer of ice.

The heatwave disappeared. In the desert where breathing would burn one’s nose, An Kai’s seclusion place could be said to be a true paradise!

A day later, An Kai, who was enjoying himself, held the [Meditation Staff] and continued his seclusion!

Every time this happened, An Kai would sigh from the bottom of his heart. “The old President is such a good person!”

.

“You didn’t find him?!”

“He’s in the desert. There’s no mistake!”

Inside Dong Lin’s isolated castle, his subordinate mage was reporting to him about An Kai’s situation.

The three-year agreement between him and An Kai was about to arrive, but An Kai seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

“Looks like I should make a trip personally. This student of mine is a little cunning.” Dong Lin muttered.

A gentle breeze blew over, blowing his figure out of the castle.

Behind him, there were hundreds of figures in black robes following closely behind. As they walked, they made cracking sounds.

It was like the sound of bones colliding.

.

150 days later.

An Kai slowly opened his eyes.

He had never expected that his five years of seclusion would end there.

[Attribute Point +1]

After meditating for a day with the [Meditation Staff] in hand, he finally obtained an attribute point.

An Kai looked at his four attributes, which were all 80 points. Without much hesitation, he chose to add them to Intelligence.

[Intelligence +1]

[Intelligence: 81]

The shackles of the spell were unlocked once again.

With a wave of his hand, the proficiency of the three spells was increased to the maximum.

[Meditation proficiency +10]

[Fireball proficiency +10]

[Freeze proficiency +10]

Standing up, An Kai opened his upgraded attribute panel.
