Picking Up Attributes From Today
/ Picking Up Attributes From Today Chapter 48
In theory, when Meng Lei had sufficient magic reserves, he could instantly release all the spells that the system had picked up and merged!
He could do it for third-grade spells, as well as fourth-grade ones! He could even release fifth-grade, sixth-grade, seventh-grade, eighth-grade, and ninth-grade ones if he wanted!
Unfortunately, his magic reserve was comparable to that of a Fifth-Grade Magician, so he could only perform a few fifth-grade spells before his reserve was emptied. As for the release of higher grade spells? Fat chance!
Even so, his big system-cheat allowed Meng Lei to have an advantage over Magicians of the same grade. Also, this advantage would be maintained forever, to the extent of becoming disgustingly unfair!
It was worth mentioning that Meng Lei chanted magic incantations before releasing the spells because he wanted to act like a normal Magician. Otherwise, god knew whether they would label him as a freak and dissect him.
Moreover, the system had not picked up some of the spells, as he had learned them by himself. Naturally, he could not instantly cast the spells he had learned on his own. He had to perform them step by step, releasing them through chanting incantations!
Of course, since he was a Fifth-Grade Magician, it was possible for him to instantly cast first-grade spells!
Department Head Dirk stared at Meng Lei and asked a strange question, “Meng Lei, I want you to be honest with me. Were you exposed to magic before entering our academy?”
“No!” Meng Lei shook his head!
“To think that at such a tender age, his spiritual power is already so strong… This is not something that cannot be cultivated within a short period of time!” exclaimed the head teacher. “It seems that you not only have superior elemental affinity, but your innate spiritual power is also very strong!”
“Yes, he is simply the God of Magic's secret offspring!”
Mr. Joe firmly believed that mental power was different from other forms of energy. It was impossible to improve it within a short time, so Meng Lei's potent spiritual power was likely the result of nature.
Meng Lei knew that he had succeeded in hoodwinking the two teachers, which was also the best outcome. He did not want to expose the system, so the best way was to attribute his potent spiritual power to ‘natural gifts'!
“Meng Lei, you have a talent that makes people envious. However, I still maintain my stance. There is no end to learning. Learning is the only way that will bring you forward. You can skip class, but you must never stop learning!”
Department Head Dirk said with a solemn expression, “I will monitor your progress strictly in the future. If I feel that your progress has slowed down, it will mean that you are slacking off. In that case, you'll have to attend classes again!”
“Understood, teacher!”
After a successful discussion with Department Head Dirk, Meng Lei could now skip class with a peace of mind. He never attended any classes after that day. Instead, he strictly followed his own schedule:
Cultivate the Fire Dragon Manual in the morning!
Pick up attributes in the afternoon!
Meditate at night!
In between, find time to go to the Arena!
Life was fulfilling and comfortable, and time flew by quickly. Unknowingly, another three months had passed!
That night, Meng Lei did not meditate as usual. Instead, he took a bath and fell asleep!
Meng Lei slept particularly well. When he woke up the next day, the sun was already high up in the sky. It was almost noon!
“What a good rest!”
Meng Lei stretched himself lazily and felt refreshed. Although meditation could replace sleep, he had not slept for nearly half a year. Thus, this long-missing sleep felt exceptional!
Only one word could describe it—satisfying!
“Wake up!”
Bong, bong, bong!
Someone was knocking on his door. Meng Lei opened it and let Fatty Hart and Daniel in. Their faces were flushed with joy!
“Brother, why are you still in bed?”
The eyes on Fatty Hart's fat face narrowed. “Did you not meditate last night, but rather slept and woke up naturally like us?”
“Our winter vacation is starting today, and I'm feeling relaxed. Thus, I had a rare good night's sleep!”
Meng Lei motioned for his friends to make themselves at home while tidying his bed. “Speaking of winter vacation, you should be going home, right?”
“Yeap, going back!” Daniel nodded and smiled. “I have plenty of free time during winter vacation, and I haven't been home for half a year. It's time to go back and have a look!”
“Indeed, we should go back!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly. As for Fatty Hart, there was no need to ask. His home was in the capital city, and he often made time to go home. Given his character, he should be home during their winter vacation!
“Brother, are you going home too?” asked Fatty Hart.
“Home?”
Meng Lei was startled and fell silent for a long while. Home was a warm word and a place of dreams, but… did he have a home?
Magical Beast Village?
Meng Lei had only been there for a little more than a month, not as long as his time in the academy. Could that be considered as his home?
Meng Lei had no idea. From the bottom of his heart, the Magical Beast Village was just a place that he had stayed in. He did not have much attachment or any sense of belonging to that place!
My real home… is Earth!
Meng Lei's thoughts raced past as he returned to Earth of an unknown timeline, going back to that beautiful seaside town to his comfortable little abode!
He saw his nagging parents, naughty and cute children, his outwardly fierce but soft-hearted wife, hot and delicious food…
Meng Lei couldn't help but fall into a daze!
After arriving in this world, he had evasively been suppressing these memories to the deepest depths of his heart, trying his best to accept everything here, enhancing his strength as much as possible, and surviving to the best of his abilities!
However, at this moment, when the gate of memories was opened, memories came flooding in. Meng Lei was swept into the torrent, unable to free himself!
Father!
Mother!
Cola!
My wife!
I… miss you all!
Meng Lei's eyes faintly sparkled as they turned moist!
“Brother, are you okay?”
Fatty Hart and Daniel asked softly after noticing a change in Meng Lei's mood. He had never been like this before!
“No-nothing! Just thinking of home!”
Meng Lei took a deep breath and suppressed the disorderly memories back to the depths of his heart. He then said with a forced smile. “I am definitely going home during our winter vacation. There is no reason for me to stay here in the academy.”
“That's right!”
Upon seeing that Meng Lei had recovered his composure, Fatty Hart and Daniel believed him.
Fatty Hart then laughed. “A semester passed in the blink of an eye, and I won't be able to see you for more than a month! I feel melancholic and a little sad when I think about it!”
“That's right!” Daniel nodded with a forlorn expression!
“The two of you… Is this necessary?” Meng Lei smiled and shook his head. “But you are right. We won't be able to see each other during the holidays. I also feel the same in my heart. Why don't we indulge ourselves today? How does that sound?”
“Good idea! My treat!” Fatty Hart's eyes lit up instantly as he patted his chest. “Where do you want to go? Just name the place. I won't reject it! Hehe, ‘that' sort of place is fine too!”
After finishing speaking, he squinted his eyes, with an unnatural look on his face.
“Haha, look at you!” Meng Lei rolled his eyes. “Could you not be so lecherous?”
“That's right! I am still a kid!” Daniel also glared at Fatty Hart, with a look of condemnation!
Fatty Hart chuckled. “Hehe! I was just joking!”
“How about Juxian Restaurant?” Meng Lei suggested. “I heard that it offers high-end magical beast delicacies. The taste is unique, and it is famous throughout the city!”
“What the hell!? Brother, you actually knew about Juxian Restaurant? Looks like I have to spend a lot of money today!”
