Chapter 66: Joy Should Be Shared Anyway～
But I no longer care about those details.
The key is now!
I!
Have successfully achieved a kind of meditation!
Although I personally feel that my meditation method is a bit off, it still has an effect, so that’s what matters!
Who can deny that the so-called meditation state of those seniors, which is just a subjective mental space, is not another form of a dream?
It’s just a difference in terminology.
I comfort myself in this way, and I also need to accept this fact.
At this moment, I can’t contain my excitement.
Because… I have become the extraordinary genius that the senior sister spoke of, one that should not exist.
This is my first encounter with meditation, and I have already crystallized my first thread of mental power!
This is the most direct proof of successful meditation.
At this moment, the thread of mental power has become an extension of my consciousness. Although I can’t see the “body” of the mental power as I would in meditation, I can clearly feel my thread of mental power projecting out; it is right in front of me.
Actually, from the perspective of spirit vision, I can also see the mental power thread similar to a dream, but I cannot see it unless I actively turn on spirit vision.
Now that I have the thread of mental power, what’s the first thing to do?
Of course, try to take control of my own power!
For example, the magic source that I have always been concerned about.
My mental power probes into the magic source within me, but at this moment, the magic source feels as hard as a rock.
My thread of mental power cannot shake even a shred of magic.
At this moment, I deeply experience the terrifying power level of magic energy.
From the perspective of spirit vision, my thread of mental power can wildly stir the surrounding elemental energy and other unknown energies in the air.
But when facing magic, it has no effect.
Now I finally understand why the senior sister said that freshmen shouldn’t think about interfering with magic using mental power in their first few years.
Such a thing is fundamentally impossible, right?
However, with mental power, I find that my control over the spells I possess has become much more adept.
The spells now exist within me in a way I don’t understand, just like the magic source.
They seem to have some “connection” with me in a form I am unaware of.
I now feel as if I have sublimated, forming a sharp contrast with my previous self.
And this is all because I have condensed my mental power into a more tangible thread.
It’s as if I have raised myself to a higher level.
This is similar to the impact of the microscope on the scientific community at that time; it opens up a brand new world of cognition!
This feeling cannot even be described in words and can only be released as pure emotion.
It is this excited emotion that counteracts the fatigue after expending energy.
At this thrilling moment, I feel an intense need to share with someone, for example… Sister Bai!
I was so excited that I didn’t even think of messaging Sister Bai privately and just called her directly to tell her this thrilling news!
After all, things like me being a genius should come with this treatment! I was even imagining what kind of expression Sister Bai would have upon hearing this news!
She should be very pleased, right?
I have taken the most important step on the path of the extraordinary!
The call connected, and there seemed to be some noisy sounds on the other end.
“Hello~ Sister Bai! I have good news to tell you!” I immediately began, voice brimming with excitement.
“Um? Xiao Han, it’s so late. You should be in bed by now, according to your usual habits. What’s going on?”
“Is it late? Oh, it’s fine! I want to share something with Sister Bai! I succeeded in meditation! I have crystallized my first thread of mental power!”
“Um… what succeeded?”
At this moment, I heard the hesitant voice I had been waiting for from the other end of the line, and I could almost imagine Sister Bai’s surprised expression as her voice suddenly rose!
“Meditation! Meditation, and now I have crystallized my first thread of mental power!”
“What? How is that possible so fast?” At this moment, even Sister Bai instinctively voiced her soul’s doubt. Based on her attitude towards me, she trusted me unconditionally, but now she couldn’t help but ask again in disbelief.
It’s easy to imagine how shocking this was to Sister Bai.
“I wouldn’t joke about something like this! Seriously, shouldn’t Sister Bai celebrate this for me immediately? A congratulation would be nice too~” My tone was mixed with a bit of complaint and a spoiled manner, but the joy in my voice could not be concealed.
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have reacted this way. Anyway, congratulations to Xiao Han for taking a solid first step on the extraordinary path! I’ll come find you right now, Xiao Han, where are you?”
“Um~ that’s more like it! I’m in the meditation room 01032!” In my excitement, I unconsciously overlooked the fact that I was troubling Sister Bai to come at such a late hour.
However, it wasn’t until Sister Bai actively hung up the phone that I realized a bit.
Was I a bit impulsive?
At this moment, when I looked at the time on my phone, I noticed something odd.
It was already 2 AM…
How is that possible!
This was my first reaction. How could I have spent so much time? I didn’t even feel it!
My second thought was, oh no, I need to pay more fees!
This would drain the last bit of savings I had in my balance…
But I must say, even so, it was worth it!
The expenses of this one night basically drained all my efforts over the past few days.
Actually, it wasn’t really effort, since I spent most of my working time just goofing off…
I hurried out of the meditation room and concluded this meditation experience.
Finally, with reluctant eyes, I watched as the last bit of balance on my phone was deducted.
I was nearly in tears… oh no, now it’s the young girl shedding tears.
I stood outside the door, just waiting for a moment. During this time, I was exploring various features of the academy system that I hadn’t discovered before.
I just now realized that the high-level meditation rooms surprisingly offer limited incense! Thinking back to my previous meditation room, it was bare walls, nothing at all.
Indeed, you get what you pay for; I was only suited for the lowest level.
But there’s a regular meditation room that charges 50 yuan per hour, and I am really curious about how low this lowest configuration can go. Isn’t the one I’m using already as broken as it gets?
After rummaging around, I understood the reason; the meditation room’s solidified spells had worn out for some reason, resulting in decreased spell effects or even rendering them unusable. They hadn’t maintained it in time, so the price was lowered.
This doesn’t seem too bad?
After all, those spells are merely a means to help enter meditation. For those seniors who are already proficient in meditation, it’s a simple matter, no wonder there weren’t any cheap meditation rooms left.
At this moment, a figure appeared here in a somewhat hurried manner.
“Sister Bai~ over here~ over here!”
As soon as I saw the other party, I immediately waved and called out, as each meditation room has soundproof solidified spells, so I didn’t need to worry that my voice would disturb the seniors inside.
