As a skill, Fireball is naturally very powerful.
However, using Fireball also consumes a lot of magic.
Xin Zhongze's 70 magic points would be completely depleted after casting only 17 Fireballs.
If he relied on his own magic recovery, he would only regain 1 magic point per minute on average; only by using a magic potion could he recover 20 magic points in 10 seconds.
Under such circumstances, Xin Zhongze's magic potions were consumed very quickly, requiring him to visit the pharmacy for replenishment approximately every half an hour.
Finally, when Xin Zhongze raised Fireball's experience to the Lv2 critical point, he became too lazy to use Fireball anymore.
Fireball was powerful, but its consumption was also high.
In such a situation, it was better to just use close-range combat.
"Wife, come finish him off..."
"Wife, finish him off..."
"Wife..."
"Come!"
After reaching Level 7, Xin Zhongze began taking Xu Muyan to kill Level 8 monsters—Demonic Bears.
Xu Muyan was killing monsters beyond her level, so her experience gain was incredibly fast.
In less than half an hour, Xu Muyan's level rose from 3 to 4.
Two hours later, Xu Muyan's level rose from 4 to 5.
Seeing Xu Muyan's leveling speed, Xin Zhongze felt a bit envious and jealous.
He had worked so hard to kill so many monsters just to raise his level before.
Yet, Xu Muyan, relying on him, her husband, had surprisingly gained several levels in a short amount of time.
This was simply unfair!
Fortunately, Xu Muyan's leveling speed slowed down after reaching Level 5, and by about seven in the morning, Xu Muyan's level was only around 30% of Level 5.
"Let's log out of the game; it's daytime in reality."
"Okay, you go first."
Xu Muyan nodded, then logged out of the game.
After Xu Muyan logged out, Xin Zhongze immediately followed suit.
Xin Zhongze felt the scene change, and the next moment he appeared in the guest room.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, what he saw was Xu Muyan's frosty face.
"Xin Zhongze, please give me a reasonable explanation, or you're going to pay dearly today," Xu Muyan said, gritting her teeth as she looked at Xin Zhongze.
Seeing Xu Muyan's expression, Xin Zhongze immediately knew that Xu Muyan's in-game memories had been blocked again.
This situation made him annoyedly pat his forehead.
"Wife, didn't we agree that this matter was over? I helped you gain several levels; you can't just forget about me now that you've got what you wanted," Xin Zhongze said, looking pitifully at Xu Muyan.
"What did you say?" Xu Muyan's tone was cold, and she reached out and pinched Xin Zhongze's ear.
"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts, it hurts, gently, wife, gently..."
Two hours later.
Xin Zhongze took Xu Muyan by bike to a deserted forest in the suburbs.
"Wife, watch carefully, I'm going to cast Fireball now."
As Xin Zhongze spoke to Xu Muyan, he began to cast Fireball according to his in-game experience.
The next moment, a fist-sized Fireball appeared in Xin Zhongze's hand.
After the Fireball condensed for one second, Xin Zhongze waved his hand, and the Fireball quickly flew forward, accurately hitting a tree about the size of a bowl.
After the Fireball hit the tree trunk, it quickly adhered to it and began to burn; three seconds later, a hole was burned through the trunk, and the tree directly fell down.
The moment the Fireball flew out, Xin Zhongze discovered that he seemed to be able to control the Fireball's flight path, making it hit the target like a missile.
Of course, his control over the Fireball only allowed for slight deviations, not large turns.
Furthermore, Xin Zhongze found that the distance he could control the Fireball was only 10 meters.
"I wonder if the distance I can control the Fireball is related to mental power?"
Xin Zhongze speculated that the distance he could control the Fireball should be related to mental power, as his mental power was exactly 10 points.
After gaining free attribute points upon his next level-up, Xin Zhongze decided to try adding points to mental power to see.
"Wow! Husband, you can actually use Fireball, that's amazing!"
Xu Muyan was utterly stunned when she saw Xin Zhongze actually cast Fireball.
Yesterday, she had seen others cast Fireball, which made her incredibly envious.
However, today, she actually saw her own husband cast Fireball, and the impact of this on her was truly significant.
Next, Xin Zhongze cast Fireball several more times for Xu Muyan to witness, which left Xu Muyan with a dreamy look in her eyes.
At this moment, Xu Muyan finally had no objections to Xin Zhongze entering the game.
At the same time, Xu Muyan secretly resolved that she, too, would enter the game every day and acquire powerful magic.
"Wife, why don't we enter the game world?"
Seeing Xu Muyan's interest, Xin Zhongze immediately suggested.
Hearing Xin Zhongze's words, Xu Muyan's eyes immediately lit up.
Xin Zhongze had obtained Fireball in the game, and she wanted it too.
"Okay, but I need to compose a message for Mom to be sent one day from now; if we don't return within a day, it means we're both dead, so Mom will know we died in the game, instead of worrying that something happened to us outside," Xu Muyan told Xin Zhongze.
"Okay, wife, you arrange it," Xin Zhongze nodded.
After spending a few minutes, Xu Muyan composed the delayed message, then the two of them turned off their phones and hid them in a patch of grass before entering the game.
Upon entering the game, the two appeared in Novice Village.
Novice Village was very quiet; besides the two of them, everyone else was an NPC.
"Let's restock first, then go to the wilderness to level up."
About ten minutes later, the two finished restocking and quickly headed to the wilderness.
Their strategy was to first let Xin Zhongze level up, and then have Xin Zhongze take Xu Muyan to high-level monster areas, allowing Xu Muyan to kill monsters beyond her level.
Under such circumstances, their leveling speed was significantly faster than leveling up step by step.
...
Just as Xin Zhongze was leveling up with Xu Muyan.
Kyoto, Shen.
"Great-grandfather, my third brother still hasn't come out of the game, so I suspect something has happened to him," a young man said to a middle-aged man that day.
"Your third brother still hasn't returned? Alright, I understand. I will contact the Old Ancestor and ask him to sense your third brother's situation in the game."
Half an hour later.
An elderly-looking person appeared in the game.
The next moment, he began to rapidly sense.
A moment later, a gloomy expression appeared on his face.
"He's already dead. How dare someone kill a Shen disciple? They're truly courting death," the elder frowned.
Just then, the aforementioned middle-aged man also appeared in the game and contacted the elder.
"Old Ancestor, how is it?" The middle-aged man quickly sent a message to inquire.
"Your great-grandson is already dead, likely killed by someone. I sensed that the other party is still in the game, but they seem to be in Novice Village and haven't gone to the main city yet, so I can't sense their exact location."
"But there's no need to worry. As soon as the other party leaves Novice Village, I will be able to sense their exact location, and then we'll just have someone kill them."
