Chapter 14: Genesis Core
Aldric entered a dark alley randomly, wanting to be alone.
There, he took out one of his Level 10 Monster Cores.
It looked like a red crystal with ten tiny lines.
When it was in front of him, he could sense boundless spiritual energy.
'Level 10 has 10,000 Spiritual Energy, with such a large amount, I can easily continue to advance,' he thought.
At the same time, he wondered how Snow_Goose had so many Level 10 Monster Cores. Did that person buy them?
Right now, Aldric wanted to become stronger. He threw the Monster Core into his mouth.
Even he didn't feel that just one Monster Core was enough, so he threw twenty directly.
After all, there was no ill effect of swallowing more Monster Cores, one would only lose if the energy inside was wasted.
DING!
(You swallowed twenty Level 10 Monster Cores containing 200,000 Spiritual Energy!)
(Your Ancient Sky Body successfully retains 100% of the Spiritual Energy from those Cores!)
(With Swallowed Sky, you can absorb all the Spiritual Energy in these Monster Cores in 200 minutes!)
Aldric, "..."
"Looks like I swallowed too much," he said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry because this made him wait a long time.
Fortunately, it wasn't difficult to absorb the spiritual energy from the Monster Core.
He could do it while walking, which he did by circling the city, making time seem short to him.
DING!
(You have successfully absorbed 200,000 Spiritual Energy!)
[Spiritual Energy: 203,000/12,000]
DING!
(Your spiritual energy has reached 203,000 Points. 12,000 Points are required to advance to the 7th Stage Junior Magician, would you like to advance?)
(Your spiritual energy has reached 203,000 Points. 14,000 Points are required to advance to the 8th Stage Junior Magician, would you like to advance?)
(Your spiritual energy has reached 203,000 Points. 16,000 Points are required to advance to the 9th Stage Junior Magician, would you like to advance?)
(Your spiritual energy has reached 203,000 Points. 18,000 Points are required to advance to the 10th Stage Junior Magician, would you like to advance?)
Yes/No!
After 200 minutes, Aldric finally received the notification.
Of course, he chose yes without hesitation.
DING!
(You chose Yes, you advance to the 7th Stage Junior Magician!)
DING!
(You chose Yes, you advance to the 10th Stage Junior Magician!)
DING!
(Your status has been updated!)

(Notice: you are currently at the 10th Stage of Junior Magician. Next up is Senior Magician. To advance to the Senior Magician 1st Stage, not only do you need 100,000 Spiritual Energy Points, you need to form a Genesis Core in your body. And as a reminder, do not continue to absorb spiritual energy as your spiritual energy will reset when you become a Senior Magician.)
(Genesis Core: This is the Core of a Magician's body and soul that can begin to form when you reach the Junior Magician 10th Stage. There are many methods to form the Genesis Core and you can explore this world to find the most suitable and best method for you.)
"What?"
Aldric who originally thought that he could continue to progress unimpeded even if the spiritual energy requirement to Senior Magician became many times higher finally realized that things were not as easy as he had imagined.
There was a new requirement, not just about spiritual energy.
The joy of his great progress was instantly lost.
Plus, the excess spiritual energy in his body will also disappear. This only adds to the sadness.
However, this did not mean he was demoralized, after all, he was already enjoying this game plus he made a large sum of money in just a day of playing.
He certainly wasn't going to stop.
For now, he wanted to log out first.
"Hahaha, I finally advanced to Junior Magician Stage 7, my progress can be considered faster than most players."
Having just logged out, he heard a shout from beside him, which was of course from Nolan.
He had finished playing, was putting on his glasses, looking very excited.
Aldric couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing the man's words.
Stage 7?
He's been playing for quite some time but he's still at Stage 7 while he who just played today is already at Stage 10.
Was the difference in their talent so great that their training speed was so different?
And he said he was faster than most players.
In other words, most players are inferior to him.
"Ohh, Aldric, so you're done too, how did it feel playing Magician Online?" Nolan immediately turned his gaze towards him as he realized he was awake.
"Well, it was impressive," Aldric replied, somewhat awkwardly as he spoke because he was still thinking about their differences.
At the same time, he looked at the clock.
This time he played for quite a while, it was now around 9 PM.
He was starting to feel hungry.
"It was great, wasn't it?" Nolan seemed very happy to hear he was satisfied.
After that, he checked his phone, which Aldric could see that he had opened a gaming forum.
It also had its own app, logged in by showing the irises.
"Sigh, I still don't understand how this Dark Crow got so many Honey of Life. He made so much money and Level 10 Monster Cores," he said suddenly after opening the forum.
Aldric who also wanted to open the forum on his phone almost coughed, looking at Nolan with strange eyes.
'Looks like I can't tell him that I'm that Dark Crow,' he thought.
He didn't like excessive attention. Hence, he didn't want his identity as Dark Crow to be revealed.
From the looks of it, he was indeed the talk of the forum.
After all, he could be considered to have hit the big jackpot.
Nolan did not stop talking about Dark Crow. He stood up, drank a cup of cold water from the refrigerator before starting to eat the bread he apparently bought earlier in the day.
"By the way, Aldric, what kind of Body and Wheel of Life have you resurrected. Have you made any progress after playing it for hours?" He then gave Aldric a question that was difficult for him to answer.
"Uhmm, actually I'm not really sure," Aldric replied, pretending not to understand the Body and Wheel of Life.
"Ohh, looks like you're not used to it yet." Nolan didn't find Aldric's answer strange as it was normal for someone who had never played a virtual game to be unfamiliar.
"Keep playing, you'll understand the system better," he added.
