#210 - Magic Heart

~Ding~! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the buff-type spell blessing, "Blessing of the Pure Maiden," through a special method, and thus acquiring a fragment of this world's rule energy.

Through this energy, the system can synthesize special items for the Host such as "Eye of Truth," "Aura of Luck," "Guardian of the Void," and "Heart of Magic," or help the Host forcibly break through the shackles of existing martial arts techniques.

Alternatively, it can unlock a small portion of the Host's own bloodline seal. The Host can choose one of these six options.

"Hmm?"

Just as Liang Yue was still in a half-dreaming state, a sudden notification sound instantly jolted him awake from his original dazed condition.

Opening his eyes, he subconsciously looked around.

Through a layer of curtains, the sky outside was still a hazy darkness, indicating that it was not yet dawn.

Elizabeth was lying on his chest, snoring softly, sleeping soundly.

"Heart of Magic? I think I just heard that name~"

Liang Yue subconsciously scratched his head, muttering to himself.

Blinking his eyes at the ceiling above, after gradually waking up, Liang Yue hurriedly opened the system panel to check the previous content.

After a while~

"Blessing of the Pure Maiden…"

"There's actually this kind of operation?"

"I didn't expect that the path to unlock my magic started from this little girl~"

Looking at Elizabeth, who was still fast asleep in his arms, Liang Yue gently stroked her smooth back, a faint smile unconsciously rising on his face.

"Choose one out of six? Is there even a need to choose? "Eye of Truth," "Aura of Luck," "Guardian of the Void," these sound self-explanatory. Perhaps their inherent uses are significant, but they are not irreplaceable."

"As for breakthroughs in martial arts realm, I can do that myself, so there's no need to waste the current opportunity. As for the bloodline seal, I am indeed curious about that.

But it's not an option I urgently need."

"Of course, I choose ~ "Heart of Magic!" I still have two skills that need magic to activate!"

"~Ding~! Host, are you sure you want to synthesize the rule fragments into "Heart of Magic"?"

"Confirm~!"

Immediately following Liang Yue's words, a mysterious, indescribable power instantly rose within his body.

As if born out of thin air, it slowly gathered from all corners of his body, slowly rotating, and finally settled in the center of his brow.

The whole process seemed slow but was actually fast, without causing any ripples. Even Liang Yue's eyes did not observe any abnormalities outside his body.

It seems that even though both involve the use of rule-based power, the synthesis process of the "Heart of Magic" is still quite different from the scene of the MC rules merging with him before~

"Is that it? That's too hasty…"

Subconsciously reaching out his finger, he rubbed the center of his brow ridge.

At this time, Liang Yue felt as if there was something more in front of his head, but it did not hinder his thoughts. Instead, it invisibly made his mind clearer.

But he could not confirm the specific changes yet.

… …

"Heart of Magic": The original substance of the magic domain, capable of autonomously absorbing and storing magic power. It is currently in a primary state, and its efficiency in absorbing magic power in this world is ten points per day.

… …

At this time, this mere introduction triggered many associations in Liang Yue's mind.

However, this was related to the activation and application of some skills, so he had to carefully consider it.

"Absorbing and storing magic power, which means that this thing is actually equivalent to a container. Although it can be used by me, it may not always belong to me?"

"Being able to absorb ten points of magic power every day, that efficiency is a bit too slow!"

"Calculating it this way, it can only absorb more than 3,000 magic points a year, but I can do a lot of things in a year~"

"Also, because of the characteristics of the "Chaotic Origin Skill", I can recover 550 points of internal force every second. The Heart of Magic doesn't seem to mention that, does it?"

"However~ Primary state, which means this thing can also be upgraded, right? System?"

"~Ding~! Acquiring substances with the same phase attributes can be used to improve the quality of the Heart of Magic."

"That's okay!"

"Hey~ By the way, System, if the magic power in the Heart of Magic is consumed, can it be restored with magic potions?"

"~Ding~! It can be restored, but the Heart of Magic's daily self-absorption of magic power is equivalent to expanding its own capacity. Magic potions cannot increase the upper limit of the Host's total magic power.

Also, the absorption rate of ten points of magic power per day is only for the current world and location coordinates of the Host. The energy level and activity in different worlds will affect this."

"I knew it~ That's more reasonable! Otherwise, ten points a day, that speed is too slow!"

After receiving the system's answer, Liang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately planned his magic expansion plan.

"Speaking of~ The prototype of the base world is MC, and MC is originally a place where magic operations exist, so the magic level there should be high, right?"

"However, when choosing the world upgrade type before, I seem to have given up the magic route and chose martial arts…"

"This shouldn't have too much impact, right?"

"Hmm~ It doesn't matter, isn't there still a dungeon! The DNF world is originally a treasure trove of magic!"

"By the way~ On Earth in this real world, I heard that there are also several magic nodes, one of which is in New York. Which street is that magic temple located on?"

"I can't remember clearly~"

"Also, that meditation technique that Gandalf gave me should also help gather magic, right?"

… …

Just like that, muttering to himself until dawn, Liang Yue finally waited for the first magic point in his life.

The feeling was as if a tangible vitality had been injected into his mind, making him a little excited!

Then, this guy hurriedly opened his personal attribute panel and saw that the unactivated state behind the "Ricochet" and "Magic Showdown" skills had finally disappeared!

"I… I might need to go home for a while recently."

In the morning, carrying Elizabeth, who was walking a bit unsteadily and inconveniently, to the sofa in the living room, and having just prepared a table of nutritious breakfast.

Before he had time to eat two bites, the blonde girl opposite him suddenly spoke.

Liang Yue heard this and looked at Elizabeth in surprise, only to see that the other party's expression was also a bit strange.

"Hmm? Why?"

"That, maybe it's because of our… thing last night. I have now copied the third ability from you, so I need to go home to transform these abilities into magical knowledge.

This is my responsibility."

Saying that, Elizabeth lowered her head a little shyly, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

"What a coincidence?"

Liang Yue was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously blurted out.

"What coincidence?"

Elizabeth was also a little taken aback when she heard this guy's words.

"Just this morning, before dawn, I also received your blessing~"

Saying that, Liang Yue told this woman about the "Blessing of the Pure Maiden".

After listening to this, the blonde girl's face became even more rosy.

"So that legend is actually true…"

… …

"Cough~ Well, how long will your thing take?"

Liang Yue was holding a glass of milk at this time, approached the girl and asked.

"At least a year and a half, summarizing and transforming magic is not that easy, and the better the magic, the longer it takes."

"That's too long! Are you coming back?"

"Of course I'm coming back, what~ do you want to be irresponsible!?"

"Tsk~ I mean, aren't you already a senior in high school? In a little over a year, you'll have to go straight to college, then~ are you still coming to New York?"

"Wherever you are, I'll go!"

"Hmm~~~ Yoshi, hehe!"

"But during the time I'm not here, you have to keep your chastity for me."

"Cough cough~ Cough!"

"Hmph! Looking at you like this, I know you won't be honest!"

"How could I be~"

"Don't try to fool me, otherwise, you last night…"

"Hehe he~ I learned all that from the teaching materials."

"Teaching materials?"

"Ah, there are Japanese ones, American ones, anyway, there are many resources online~"

"Tch~ I'll believe you! Tell me, who in your class have you been secretly hooking up with, Gwen Stacy, or that little Japanese deskmate?"

"It's neither of them, none of them, in this world, besides you, there are no other women, I can guarantee that!"

"I remember you seemed to have said that the reason you became stronger overnight was because you participated in an expedition and helped your friends take back their hometown?"

"… … Yeah~"

"Where did you go?"

"This involves my secrets."

"Can't you tell me?"

"I can, anytime, but are you ready?"

"… … Not yet~ for now"
