Fortunately, time was 6:45 PM. So he can simply return after breakfast the next day.
"Why do you look so deathly pale? You should take a break sometimes and not overexert yourself" Xueyao adviced as they ate dinner.
"It's nothing. I'm just a bit tired, that's all" Xuanyuan replied.
"Were you fighting all day" she asked.
"Yeah. I dived into a dungeon with other players and it took a whole day to clear" Xuanyuan lied.
"Oh yes! I have something for you" Xuanyuan said. He took his phone and typed some things for a moment before placing it down again. At the same time, Xueyao's phone buzzed as she received a notification she picked her phone to read.
"Where do you get so much money?" She asked in astonishment. The notification was actually an bank alert of her account being credited with one million credits and the sender was none other than Xuanyuan. No matter which way she saw it, she couldn't figure out where Xuanyuan found so much money she couldn't earn even if she worked her butts out.
"I just chanced upon an Epic item and sold it" Xuanyuan replied simply. In reality, it was one of the equipments he'd looted during his adventures so he just sold them off for Reality credits.
"Epic item? They could have increased your combat power by a large margin. Why sell it off?" Xueyao asked in exasperation.
"So you could continue working to feed us?" Xuanyuan snapped back. "I'm pretty sure you can quit your job without worry with this" he added.
"But still..."
"It's just an Epic item. I can easily get more later" He said.
"Xuanyuan" His mother called affectionately. She was so touched that her son was willing to sacrifice such a precious item to make life easier for her.
"By the way, I think I should also join the game now. I can grind for items in game and exchange them for Reality credits. I think that's less taxing and even more profitable than a white collar job" She explained.
"Alright Mum, but when you run into any tricky situation, don't hesitate to contact me. I'll bully them all for you" He promised.
"Alright" Xueyao just laughed his words out not believing Xuanyuan the bullied would suddenly turn into a bully. If only she knew that the legendary Sword mage who had bullied Heaven will Guild was actually her son...
Xuanyuan didn't log into the game after dinner, he washed the dishes before retiring back into his room. Sitting on his bed, he closed his eyes and tried to sort out his mind.
During these few days, he had broken through to the domain realm and even improved his concentration standard to the peak of tier 4. But strangely, the improvements in Mental concentration in the game actually affected his mental strength in the Real world. Currently he could feel that his thought process had nearly tripled and he had an easier sorting out his mind. Even though he couldn't manipulate his mental energy to achieve exaggerated effects like in the Realm of spirituality, he could still perceive his surroundings with greater clarity even with his eyes closed. It was as if he had a domain where he could observe everything.
He reached out under his bed and brought out a bottle of grade B nutrient fluid to drink. He felt a wave of the familiar pleasant sensation as he downed the bottle and he could feel himself recovering from his fatigue at a fast rate. He probably will have fully recovered even before he wakes up in the morning.
After that, he closed his eyes and tried to grasp the inner force. But after trying for a while he gave up and retreated into bed instead after all the reason he logged out was so he could rest and he had a lot to deal with from tomorrow that he will probably have to rest like this sometimes later. But right now, he wanted to sleep...
Meanwhile, in the Realm of spirituality, a lady donning a armor with a Greatsword behind her back entered the Adventurer's association and stopped in front of the NPC counter who handled promotion quests.
"Tier 2 promotion quests costs 10 gold coins" the NPC said.
Snow titan didn't say anything in return only dropping 10 gold coins on the table before her while the NPC handed her a token.
Snow titan then left the counter to give way for others after all, there are many players joining the Realm of spirituality so it wasn't strange if over hundred challenge their promotion quests each day.
She quickly found a quiet spot and activated the token vanishing from the Adventurer's association...
A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and found herself in a separate dimension different from where she was coming from. She had spawned in a forest which was quite and spanned over an area of tens of kilometers. The setting of the environment was quite different from Xuanyuan's because rather than three moons, there was only one moon that shed its light throughout the entire place. Meanwhile, destructive lightning flashed in the sky occasionally sending down thunderbolts that formed craters where they struck. It was obvious the quest wasn't going to be so easy.
Snow titan only spared the notifications a glance before heading towards a certain direction. Unlike Xuanyuan she didn't hold back at all, she immediately expanded her Mana domain to scan the area around her...
