Quality: Platinum.
Type: Skill Book.
Characteristics: Passive, visualization.
Effect: Immediately gain the passive skill "Second Meditation" upon use, permanently increasing maximum mana by 1 point per minute.
Hidden effect: Reduces mana cost by 30%.
Price: 1000 points.
Xia Zhi bought it directly, but 1000 of his points were deducted, leaving him with a pitiful 24.
At the same time, a strange, platinum-colored orb of light appeared in his inventory.
This is the second platinum item Xia Zhi has obtained.
Instead of using the skill book directly, he sat up in bed.
Next, Xia Zhi took out the [Second Meditation Method], [Enhancement Crystal], and [Hourglass of Time] from his inventory.
He picked up the crystal and brought it closer to the strange ball of light.
"Use the [Enhancement Crystal] on the [Second Meditation Method]? Please note that this is a Platinum item with only a 1% chance of successfully upgrading its quality."
"Yes."
The crystal in his hand suddenly shattered, turning into countless bright spots that merged into the ball of light.
Xia Zhi stared intently at the ball of light.
If this operation succeeds, the Second Meditation Method can be directly transformed into the First Meditation Method.
He can permanently increase his maximum mana by 1 point per second, which means he can permanently increase his maximum mana by 86400 points per day. Tomorrow he will be able to break through the 100000 mana limit and become a Light God. At that time, he can also use the Rock King's [Celestial Star] skill at will.
"Evolution failed, but a random enhancement was obtained - the skill effect of [Second Meditation Method] is increased by 5%."
Xia Zhi picked up the Hourglass of Time and tried again.
"Evolution failed, but a random enhancement was obtained - the skill effect of [Second Meditation Method] is increased by 3%."
"Evolution failed, but a random enhancement was obtained - the skill effect of [Second Meditation Method] is increased by 6%."
"Evolution failed, but a random enhancement was obtained - the skill effect of [Second Meditation Method] is increased by 7%."
"Evolution failed, but a random enhancement was obtained - the skill effect of [Second Meditation Method] is increased by 5%."
Forget it, it's pointless.
Let's save the stones to enhance the [Hourglass of Time].
After all, this is a noble rule of time.
As for the "First Meditation Method," its effect is just so-so. The "Second Meditation Method" is a bit slower, but it's still usable.
We can't keep waiting. The 99% failure rate of evolution is too high. Activating the Second Meditation Method one minute earlier will increase our maximum mana by one minute earlier.
Xia Zhi sighed helplessly and picked up the ball of light.
"Use the skill book [Second Meditation Method]?"
"Yes."
The ball of light disappeared, and Xia Zhi closed his eyes, feeling a lot of new information appear in his mind.
After digesting all this information, Xia Zhi opened his eyes and saw that a new passive skill, [Second Meditation Method], had been added to the system panel: +1.3 points of maximum mana per minute.
The amplification effect of the Scholar's Ring is rated five stars!
Xia Zhi did a quick calculation and found that, relying solely on the effects of the [Second Meditation Method], he could increase his maximum mana by 1872 points per day, and it would only take 53.4 days to increase his maximum mana by 100000 points.
Adding to the previous [Third Meditation Method], he should be able to use fifth-tier spells by the end of next month.
We can ask Miss Akabane if she wants to be resurrected, and if she does, we can give her a [Resurrection Spell].
As for the unknown divinity that was eroding his eyes, once he reached the god level, it shouldn't be too difficult to dispel it.
After my eyesight returned to normal, the glasses that Miss Yanfei gave me became useless, which was a bit of a pity.
Xia Zhi then tried out the new feature brought about by the Second Meditation Method: Visualization.
[Visualization]: By concentrating your mind, you can enter a meditation space and visualize a world within it.
Xia Zhi went into the meditation space and took a look. It was an empty spiritual world, and he needed to expend his spiritual energy to create the things he wanted.
It has a sandbox-like fun aspect, and he hasn't yet discovered its many other uses.
Unfortunately, his mental energy is currently very strained; he needs to save it for earning points through welfare work, and he doesn't have any extra mental energy to build this meditation space for the time being.
Xia Zhi played with [Contemplation] for a while, then got up, took out the [Blazing Incense Burner], and began to brew [Joyful Incense].
The minimum living allowance cannot be interrupted.
After recycling one piece of incense, the points increased by 10, becoming 34.
Xia Zhi put away the incense burner, thought for a moment, took out the bag of [Blissful Rice], grabbed a large handful, and decided to make something good for everyone this morning. He also spent 2 points to buy a [Momentary Fermentation Starter] from the [Shop], which is a superb fermentation starter that can accelerate fermentation.
After washing up downstairs, he emptied the [Dragon-Turning Pot], cleaned it, and put [Blissful Rice] and [Eternal Wine Starter] into it.
A moment later, the Bliss Rice inside the [Dragon-Turning Pot] had fermented. This was thanks to the effect of the [Ephemeral Wine Starter], as the [Dragon-Turning Pot] had no effect on extraordinary ingredients; it merely served as a container.
【Gokuraku Rice Wine】
Quality: Silver.
Type: Consumable.
Features: None.
Effect: Rice wine fermented rapidly using [Xuyu Jiuqu] will make you feel as if you have entered a paradise after consuming it.
Hidden effect: Accelerates the recovery of sanity.
Non-recyclable.
Xia Zhi looked at the item descriptions and found that the effects of [Paradise Rice Wine] and [Paradise Rice Flower] were the same.
He tried adding a little more [White Jade Flower Honey], and sure enough, the item's effect became the same as [Paradise White Jade Rice Puffs]: it would make people feel extremely happy after consumption.
"Boss, what are we having for breakfast this morning?"
"Egg in rice wine".
Diona immediately bristled at the mention of alcohol.
"Alcohol? I don't want to drink! I absolutely don't want to drink!"
"Really not?"
"No! Alcohol is bad! I, Diona, would rather starve to death! Die outside! I would rather drink a single drop of alcohol than drink it!"
"This is rice wine. Rice wine isn't really considered alcohol; it's similar to cooking wine. I usually add cooking wine when I cook, and you still eat it."
"I……"
"Here, this bowl is for you."
"I...I didn't want to drink it! The boss insisted on giving it to me! I just didn't want to waste the boss's...it smells so good!"
Chapter 180 Boss, you've lost out big time!
It's Friday again.
Gan Yu left work early for the third time.
Huixin walked into the empty office and felt that Senior Ganyu must have someone else outside.
When Gan Yu arrived at the Summer Shop, it was already closed.
Everyone was sitting together, eating fruit salad and discussing Zhou Ping's grandmother's birthday.
Yao Yao shouted loudly, "Sister Gan Yu!"
Gan Yu smiled slightly and asked, "You seem to be getting off work earlier today?"
Xia Zhi nodded and smiled, "Yes, it gets dark earlier now, so I've changed my quitting time to five o'clock."
Gan Yu was slightly taken aback when she heard Xia Zhi's voice.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but after a week of not hearing Mr. Xia's voice, it sounded much nicer.
"This is our new employee, Diona."
"This is Shen He's senior, Miss Gan Yu."
Diona and Gan Yu greeted each other.
Zhu Zi thoughtfully served Gan Yu a cup of coconut milk fruit salad.
Gan Yu thanked him, sat down and took a bite. While enjoying the delicious food, she felt inexplicably emotional.
Since she took office as the secretary of the Seven Stars, Yue Haiting has never changed her working hours.
However, even with the changes, it seems to have no impact on her; she still has to work overtime when it's time to work overtime.
Gan Yu put down her small spoon and asked curiously, "What were you talking about just now?"
