Chapter 66 : Joy Is Meant to Be Shared

But I didn’t care about those details anymore.

The point was now!

I!

Had indirectly succeeded in meditating!

Though I felt my meditation method was a bit unorthodox, as long as it worked, it didn’t matter!

Who could deny that the so-called meditative state of those seniors, the subjective mental space, wasn’t another form of a dream?

It was just a different name.

I comforted myself with this thought, also to make myself accept the fact.

At this moment, I couldn’t suppress my excitement.

Because…

I had become the monstrous genius Senior said shouldn’t exist.

This was my first time attempting meditation, and I had already refined my first mental strength thread!

This was the most direct proof of successful meditation.

The mental strength thread had become an extension of my consciousness.

Though I couldn’t see the “true form” of mental strength like in the dream, I could clearly feel my thread extending outward, right in front of me.

In fact, with Spirit Vision, I could see the thread as it appeared in the dream, but without actively using Spirit Vision, I couldn’t.

Now that I had a mental strength thread, what was the first thing to do?

Of course, try to harness my own power!

Like that Magic Power Source I had always been curious about.

I probed my mental strength into the Magic Power Source in my body, but it felt as solid as a rock.

My mental strength thread couldn’t budge even a trace of magic power.

At that moment, I deeply understood the terrifying energy level of magic power.

In the Spirit Vision perspective, my mental strength thread could freely stir the elemental energies and other unknown energies in the air.

But it was utterly ineffective against magic power.

Now I finally understood why Senior said freshmen shouldn’t expect to manipulate magic power with mental strength for the first few years.

It was simply impossible, okay?

But with mental strength, I found I could control the spells I knew with much greater ease.

The spells existed in my body in a way I didn’t understand, just like the Magic Power Source.

They seemed to be “linked” to me in some unknown form.

It was as if I had ascended, a stark contrast to the old me.

And this was just because my mental strength had been refined into a more solid thread.

It was like I had elevated myself to a higher level.

It was akin to the impact of the microscope on the scientific world.

A whole new world opened by expanded cognition!

This feeling couldn’t even be described in words, only expressed as pure emotion bursting out.

This excited emotion was counteracting the fatigue from expending my energy.

In this thrilling moment, I desperately needed to share it with someone, like… Sister Bai!

So excited, I didn’t even think to message Sister Bai privately.

Instead, I called her to share the thrilling news in person!

Being a genius deserved this kind of treatment, right?

I was already imagining what kind of expression Sister Bai would have when she heard the news.

She’d probably be delighted, right?

I had taken the most important step on my path to the supernatural!

The call connected, and there seemed to be some noisy sounds from the other side.

“Hey Sister Bai! I have great news to tell you!”

I immediately started speaking excitedly.

“Hm? Xiao Han, it’s so late. By your usual habits, you’d be in bed by now, right? What’s up?”

“Is it late? Oh, it’s fine! I want to share something with Sister Bai! I succeeded in meditating! I’ve already refined my first mental strength thread!”

“Hm… what succeeded?”

At that moment, the hesitant voice I expected came through.

I could already imagine Sister Bai’s surprised expression as her voice suddenly rose!

“Meditation Meditation. I’ve now refined my first mental strength thread!”

“What? How could it be that fast?”

Even Sister Bai, who trusted me almost unconditionally, couldn’t help but question in disbelief.

You could imagine how shocking this was to her.

“I wouldn’t joke about something like this with Sister Bai, really. Shouldn’t Sister Bai be the first to celebrate with me? Congratulate me or something.”

My tone carried a hint of complaint and playfulness, but the joy was impossible to hide.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you. Anyway, congratulations, Xiao Han, on taking a solid first step on your supernatural path! I’m coming to find you. Where are you, Xiao Han?”

“That’s more like it, I'm in Meditation Room 01032”

In my excitement, I subconsciously ignored the fact that it was so late and I was troubling Sister Bai to come out.

But after she hung up, I slowly realized.

Was I a bit impulsive?

Only then did I check the time on my phone and notice something unusual.

It was already 2 a.m…

How was that possible!

That was my first reaction.

How could I have spent so much time?

I didn’t even feel it?

My second thought was that I was doomed.

I’d have to pay extra fees!

This was going to drain the last bit of my savings…

But I had to say, even so, it was worth it!

This night’s expenses basically consumed all my efforts from the past few days.

Though it wasn’t exactly an effort, since I spent most of my work time slacking…

I hurriedly left the meditation room and ended this meditation session.

With reluctant eyes, I watched the last of my balance get deducted.

It nearly brought this tough guy to tears… no, this girl is in tears now.

Standing outside, I waited for just a bit, fiddling with the various undiscovered functions in the academy system.

Only now did I realize that advanced meditation rooms even provided a limited amount of incense.

Thinking back to my meditation room bare walls, nothing at all.

As expected, you get what you pay for.

I was only suited for the lowest tier.

But there were 50-yuan-per-hour regular meditation rooms.

I was really curious how low the lowest configuration could be.

My room already seemed as basic as it could get, right?

After digging around, I roughly understood the reason.

Some meditation rooms had worn-out solidified spells due to various reasons, with diminished or even unusable effects, and hadn’t been maintained, so their prices were lowered.

That didn’t seem like a big deal?

After all, those spells were just aids for entering meditation.

For seniors who had mastered meditation, it was no big deal, so no wonder the cheap rooms were all gone.

At that moment, a figure appeared, looking a bit rushed.

“Sister Bai Over here Over here!”

Seeing her, I immediately waved and shouted.

Since every meditation room had a soundproofing solidified spell, I didn’t have to worry about my voice disturbing the seniors inside.
