Do Star Spirits Have to Compete for Jobs Too?

The atmosphere at the second-floor stairwell became subtle.

Xu Nan fell into deep thought, although his deep thought usually turned into daydreaming and spacing out, but he still believed that thinking was necessary.

"Thinking back on it this way, if I gave Lan Lan rockets, it would increase her Divine Favor Value, but the Awakening Power wouldn't be affected..."

"After giving Xin'er a rocket, her Awakening Power will increase; hmm, I just cooked her a bowl of noodles, and she was clearly very happy, so as long as I please her, I can gain Awakening Power?"

"Isn't this reasoning absurd? Does it mean the Protoss also have to compete for positions?"

Xu Nan thought she was overthinking it; it might just be a coincidence.

After all, although Xin'er was strange, Xu Nan felt it would be a bit difficult to connect her with a mysterious creature like the Star Spirits.

If Xin'er becomes a Star Spirit, wouldn't her stepfather be the Father of Ultra?

Xu Nan's suspicious gaze made Xin'er feel uneasy. She nervously clutched the chest of her pajamas and asked, "W-you, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going back to my room now, nothing else..."

She was a little flustered and wanted to go back, but Xu Nan grabbed her wrist. Under Xin'er's astonished gaze, Xu Nan decided to give up any further thought and asked directly, "Yes!"

"Are you a Protoss?" he asked.

Xin'er looked bewildered. "What is a Star Spirit?"

Xu Nan looked at her in surprise. Xin'er's expression didn't seem to be fake, but there was still a trace of unease and mystery in her eyes, giving off a feeling of "What does your search for Xingling have to do with me, Xin'er?"

"You... it seems like you've changed a bit since you told me..."

Xu Nan hesitated for a moment and said, "Can we talk?"

Xin'er hesitated and said, "I don't know. I was very sure at one point, but now I'm a little confused... I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to win this event first."

Xu Nan was taken aback. "Is it that event on the live streaming platform?"

Xin'er nodded.

Xu Nan found it even stranger. Xin'er usually didn't care about winning or losing in these kinds of events; live streaming was purely for fun for her. Could it be that she had inherited some strange tradition?

Should I ask her something like, "If you were kidnapped by some system, blink twice?"

"I don't know why, but I just don't want to lose to that bitch!" Xin'er took a deep breath. "I'll continue broadcasting..."

The room door slowly closed.

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment before he started clearing the dishes. In his mind, he was actually thinking, "It's kind of cute to hear the words 'Xin'er is a bit of a bitch' for the first time"... Pshaw!

He banished these chaotic thoughts from his mind, and just then, his phone sent a text message notification that 100,000 yuan had just been deposited into his account, presumably transferred by Xin'er.

"The Protoss matter feels quite strange. My initiation process is shrouded in mystery. Because I was a high-quality Initiate Sorcerer, I didn't dare to investigate too much before..."

"But now it seems necessary to study this carefully. If I have the chance, I'll go into the Azure Dreamland tonight and have a good talk with Lan Lan... She should know some things."

Xu Nan silently made her plans.

As for now, of course we'll use the money Xin'er gave us to continue helping Lan Lan spend some rockets!

What color is "Xin'er Green"? Unless you overthink it, you won't be able to see it at all!

This time, Xu Nan carefully managed his money, calculating precisely, and finally managed to raise his Divine Favor Value to the 100,000 mark!

At the same time, a deep blue light surged from the void, enveloping him completely, warm and moist, which felt very comfortable.

The Initiate Sorcerer's level has increased to level two!

At the same time, Xu Nan's overall professional level also reached level eight, which is considered quite advanced even among second-tier professionals.

The Level 2 Initiate Sorcerer granted Xu Nan 196 skill points, two feats, and three new spells. Notably, his Awakening Power limit also increased to 5500 points, along with improvements to his health, mana, and related latent attributes!

Skill points are saved as usual, but it's a pity there are no attribute points, otherwise I could have reached the extraordinary level of charm.

The two specialties are as follows—

[Magic Weaving: In Awakened Form, you can weave your own Magic Network within a certain range for quick spellcasting and assisting others in casting spells.]

Arcane Absorption: In any form, you have a chance to drain the Arcane Energy from magical creatures when interacting with them.

For Xu Nan, both of these expertise are extremely strong!

Especially Magic Weaving, it's an incredibly powerful feat for late-game dominance!

This means that as long as Xu Nan has enough Awakening Power to support him, he can even create his own magic pool and magic system within a certain range, modeled after the spellcasting system of the Pro World. Within the range of magic, he is the god of magic!

He can not only cast spells quickly himself, but also lend his magical power to other spellcasters who come into contact with magic!

According to the present Pro World, spellcasters in the Old Continent are still under the spell woven by the Goddess of Magic, and still use the spell slot casting method, which gives the Goddess of Magic great convenience.

In the Old Continent, few people or gods would be foolish enough to oppose the Goddess of Magic.

Similarly, as long as Xu Nan weaves his own magic, he is confident that he can hold off ten thousand enemies on Earth!

But when he saw the Awakening Power and magical knowledge required to weave even the most extensive magic, he was dumbfounded.

Moreover, he currently lacks sufficient Awakening Power to support him; the terrifying requirements of magical knowledge alone are beyond the capabilities of a mediocre sorcerer like himself.

"Is this going to force a mediocre warlock like me to become a top-performing mage?"

"Even if I, Xu Nan, starve to death or am overwhelmed by the magic of otherworldly gods, I would never voluntarily learn so much magical knowledge!"

Well, Xu Nan certainly wasn't afraid of this being a flag. With his Gluttonous Nature, who was he afraid of? What he cared about now was the price of the relevant Magic Book and his ability and speed to digest them.

As long as she has a good appetite, Xu Nan is fearless and enjoys everything she eats!

Arcane Absorption, on the other hand, is a feat with more lenient activation conditions.

It seems to match the style of Ron Sorcerer quite well; both are stealthy, only with a grand and righteous name—Absorb!

Xu Nan did some research and found that this specialty was really overpowered!

Now, as long as he eliminates magical creatures, he may be able to absorb their Arcane Energy and use it for his own purposes, which is similar to the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

"It's a pity I didn't have this skill when fighting those frogmen before, otherwise..."

Xu Nan's mind wandered.

In short, these two specialties, one practical and the other theoretically unparalleled, fill Xu Nan with hope for the future!

Next came the three newly acquired spells, which Xu Nan glanced at and couldn't help but frown.

[Avatar of the Blazing Sun: In Awakened Form, you can temporarily transform into a sun in a certain sense; Consumes: a certain amount of solar energy]

[Avatar of the Bright Moon: In Awakened Form, you can briefly transform into the moon in a certain sense: Consumes: a certain amount of moonlight]

[Avatar of the Stars: In Awakened Form, you can briefly transform into a star in a certain sense; Cost: a certain number of meteorites]

"Why would I want to Avatar of the Sun? To get chased and shot by Hou Yi?"

"Why would I want to transform into the moon? To flirt with Chang'e? Sorry, I'm not really into mature women!"

"As for the stars... such a perpetual supporting role is not suitable for my outstanding appearance and temperament!"

Xu Nan launched into a tirade of complaints.

These three spells seemed to be related and could be cast simultaneously, giving Xu Nan the illusion that a fantasy element of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" had intruded...

Fortunately, his first two specializations were good enough, so Xu Nan chose to forgive the spells that could be obtained at the second level of the Initiate Sorcerer.

"I have a feeling this promotion was a bit weak. Could it be because the pay-to-win players are weaker?"

Xu Nan fell into the realm of contemplation, which was not something he was good at.

He finished his summary and then sighed deeply.

Just like the City Lord Altar, counterfeit players have no rights!

In the afternoon, Xu Nan went to the Special Ops Team's base to check in.

Passing by the badminton court, I was surprised to find that the old professor playing with the group of beautiful female college students had been replaced by someone else; it wasn't Old Hai at all.

In Xu Nan's memory, weren't these girls Old Hai's private possessions?

Just as he was thinking this, he ran into Old Hai, who looked haggard and had an increasingly high hairline.

He watched as she hurriedly ran past Xu Nan, not even bothering to grab her thermos.

"What happened?"

The atmosphere at the base was a bit tense. Many members who usually slack off or skip work came. It was the first time Xu Nan had ever known that so many Special Ops Team colleagues were at this base!

He even spotted Zheng Xie among the group!

This guy still keeps that neutered Kangaroo in his office...

"Something's happened!"

"We've been scammed!"

Liu Erdao carried a pile of documents out of the office and placed them on the table in the conference room.

He glanced at Xu Nan, his eyes bloodshot. "Do you remember those Blood Worship Cultists we arrested before?"

Xu Nan nodded. "What's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be a group of people who are easy to fool?"

"They are just pawns to deceive us." Liu Erdao's expression was grim. "The Blood Worship Cultists deliberately send their followers to their doom at regular intervals to distract us."

"We actually believed the nonsense of the pyramid scheme leader, damn it! That Wang An is some kind of high Blood Worship Cultists..."

"An hour ago, in the West Eden Ancient City, three tour groups were kidnapped by lurking Blood Worship Cultists. They were planning something!"

Xu Nan's heart tightened.

"This matter has already made headlines, and the government is currently handling the public relations crisis urgently. However, how to handle this matter is still under discussion. Some sources suggest that our Special Ops Team should be dispatched, others suggest that we cooperate with the Armed Police Force, and still others suggest that the Ninth Division of the military should take over... There's not much we can do right now."

Liu Erdao smiled wryly and said, "Although we are Special Ops Team, before we acquired professional skills, we were just a group of ordinary people who had not received any training. We were not reliable enough in our work!"

Xu Nan sensed his self-blame and was about to comfort him when he suddenly received a text message from Qin Lele!

[Qin Lele: Xu Nan, my mom and I have been kidnapped!]

...!
