Chapter 365: Chapter 91: Hold Onto Your Thigh_1

Basking in pain and pleasure.

That was Link’s current mindset.

As he ceased the “multi-threading thinking” state, Link reclined on his rocking chair and suddenly fell into desolation.

He flopped down like a salted fish.

Being bound by the curse of making money to support one’s family was indeed inescapable wherever you went.

“Link, what’s wrong with you?”

Jasmine, who finally repressed the flurry of emotions swirling in her heart, returned to the study to see an unprecedentedly dejected version of Link.

He seemed none of the composed and ambitious person he usually was, appearing dejectedly gloomy, a personification of resignation.

“Ah! It’s nothing,”

Link, lying bonelessly on the chair, answered listlessly, his mouth was the only part of him that seemed to be moving, “I just feel a bit upset when I think about how poor I am.”

Upon hearing this, Jasmine couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

She thought to herself, given his spending habits today, even an abundance of magic stones wouldn’t be enough for him.

230 standard second-level magic stones, that equated to 260,000 standard first-level magic stones, an amount most people never amass their whole lives.

And, yet he had spent all of it in just one afternoon.

And it wasn’t even apparent where it all went.

If it weren’t because his “Super Brain” potion and newly introduced potent, non-damaging body refining potion — both sold with standard second-level magic stones as the currency of choice, he would be even poorer!

After a round of internal ranting, Jasmine looked at Link, who was the epitome of dejection, and couldn’t resist a mischievous thought.

This intriguing idea was immensely tempting.

Jasmine squirmed in anticipation, internally debating before deciding to let loose.

After all, she had already expressed her true feelings today, this little prank wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Hence, emulating the enchanting gait and authoritative aura of the Serene Wizard, Jasmine sauntered over to Link. From above she pointed at Link’s forehead and cooed in a teasing voice, “Hey little brother, call me sis and I’ll take care of you!”

At her words, Link instantly snapped out of his gloomy mood.

With a quick jolt and a swift roll, he instantly straightened up, replying earnestly, “Don’t demean me. As the dignified Link Grande, a first-class official wizard, how can I live off a woman’s charity? And you even want to support me?”

After speaking, Link purposely put on a solemn face and added, “You would have to pay more!”

Jasmine cast aside all the coquettish gestures, authority, and unique language she had been trying to mimic, and broke into fits of laughter.

With that playful interaction, Link’s mood lightened, helped to ease his fluctuating emotions.

He could once again be that bright and cheerful young man.

Upon seeing this, Jasmine also ceased her teasing.

The pair settled again into studying and reading.

Jasmine was preparing for her destiny witchcraft, with the help of Link’s previously sorted study materials and literature index, she tackled them one by one.

The enhancement of a wizard’s qualifications would only improve the speed of learning meditation techniques, reduce the difficulty of beginner witchcraft, accelerate spell-casting, and enhance witchcraft power.

Diligent studying was mandatory to acquire necessary knowledge.

Link pondered for a while, and decided not to go back to Level 0 Will Rune, Rule Rune, Elemental Rune of all systems, or the destiny witchcraft for all systems, plus Level 1 runes, and First Ring witchcraft.

Instead, he continued studying information regarding his spirit and the sea of consciousness.

After finishing the remaining resources, he planned to focus on the meditation technique-related materials and literature, and collect some relatively mild meditation techniques along the way.

For instance, the “Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method”, even a broken scroll would suffice as a reference.

The last half a month of the summer vacation was spent buried in their books.

With the development of the “seed” into a “small world”, Link’s original plan to visit the Serene Wizard was called off

Not until this day, when both the junior division and senior division began the fall semester, did the Serene Wizard visit Link. She brought along Renee Clarke, who had only glanced at him before, and Elise Clarke, who fixed her wild gaze on Link the moment she saw him.

They met outside Link’s villa, ready to go to the senior division together.

Jasmine, who originally planned on attending the “Anything Goes” election, sent a notification letting Buck and Linn take care of it.

Instead of going, she stayed by Link’s side, vigilantly guarding against Elise, also known as the green pond, from sneaking up on Link while she was away.

She hadn’t forgotten about the time Elise had kissed Link while she was absent.

Seeing this, the Serene Wizard gave Link a deep, meaningful look with a faint smile.

A moment later, it was Renee Clarke who broke the slightly awkward atmosphere, saying:

“Elise was promoted to official wizard a few days ago and she also needs to advance her studies in the senior division.

“Link, you are comparatively more experienced and mature, we hope you can look after Elise a bit.”

Pausing for a moment, Renee smiled, “Assad sends his regards.”

“Thank you.”

Link responding with a nod, “Please send my regards to Assad, tell him I look forward to having him experience my vehicle.”

“Alright, he will definitely be pleased.”

Renee was content that Link understood her words and was also pleased by his reply, her smile growing even brighter.

With her demeanor and looks, she exuded a tranquil charm.

There was not even a hint of the fierce woman who had sternly scolded him a day ago under the influence of alcohol.

Upon hearing this, Jasmine gritted her teeth.

This green pond has already been promoted?

Damn!

Wouldn’t that make things harder to defend against in the future?

Jasmine mentally pledged to get promoted quickly.

She was already 15 years old, no longer a child.

She wasn’t as naive as when she first joined the academy.

She couldn’t waste more time on irrelevant matters. It was important to become an official wizard as soon as possible.
