Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Path of Power
With a feeling of apprehension, Zhang Cheng slowly walked out of the basement, his every step was so slow, it was like a prisoner walking towards the execution ground.
However, no matter how long the road is, there will be a time when it will be finished, not to mention that the basement is only a dozen meters away from the living room.
As he walked through the kitchen into the living room, he finally saw a woman in a gray professional suit sitting on the couch, staring angrily at an innocent-looking Gracie a few steps away.
With short black shawl hair, dark blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thick but very sexy lips, in terms of facial features, it is definitely a standard that meets the needs of most people as white beauties.
In addition, she has a height of nearly 1.75 meters, a slender neck, a proud upper circumference, and a straight ass and slender legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings.
It's no wonder that Polman used the word "stunner" to describe her, and I believe that anyone who sees her for the first time can't help but feel a sense of amazement.
Although she has not spoken so far, judging from her sitting posture and emotional control, she must have received a good education, and even if she is angry in her heart, she still has to maintain the most basic etiquette.
Seeing that the main owner had appeared, Gracie immediately gave a look of self-begging, turned around and walked quickly back to the room upstairs.
With a bang, there was only a lonely couple left in the living room.
The two looked at each other, neither of them meant to speak, and fell into an awkward silence for a moment.
After about six or seven minutes, the woman finally stood up and asked in a low voice, "Who is that girl? Why was she able to move in and I couldn't? Also, when did you come back? Why didn't you call me? Am I not important to you at all?"
Looking at the other party's two eyes mixed with grievance and anger, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a headache.
After a moment of hesitation, he decided to cut through the mess quickly and quickly clean up these irritating trivial matters at once, so he responded in a slightly apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, Maggie, I don't think it's suitable for the two of us to continue, so it's better to break up directly." ”
"What...... What?!" The woman known as Maggie stared wide, as if she had heard something incredible.
"I mean, if you can, it's better not to contact you in the future, it's easy to understand, isn't it?" Zhang Cheng explained very calmly.
From the moment he decided to embark on the path of power, he understood that family, love, and friendship, which were cherished by many people, were deadly poison to him.
As the saying goes, the more you care, the easier it is to hesitate, and often you can't give up everything at the critical moment, so that you will bury the precious opportunities that were originally at your fingertips.
In Zhang Cheng's mind, a person who truly pursues power should be like the orc Guldan, who does not hesitate to sacrifice everything except his life when necessary, even his own race.
Of course, he didn't appreciate the bold actions of the first warlock in Azeroth's history, and he rushed into the crypt of the Dark Titan without even completing basic intelligence work, only to be torn to shreds by an endless stream of demons......
Maggie obviously didn't know that the young man in front of her was no longer the person she loved deeply, tears instantly welled up, slowly sliding down her cheeks, and after a while, she said self-deprecatingly: "For half a year, you came back just to say this to me?"
"I'm sorry. Zhang Cheng stood unmoved, his eyes revealing indifference without a trace of emotion.
"I'm such a fool! I've been waiting for you for half a year! Well, as you wish, we won't meet again. With that, Maggie laughed and wiped away her tears, turned and left the villa, driving the car parked at the door, and quickly disappeared to the end of the road.
Not long after she walked on her front foot, Gracie opened the door and crept out, asking with a gossip on her face, "You dumped her?"
"Yes, is there any problem?" Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes angrily.
Gracie hurriedly shook her head: "No, no problem, I just feel a little sorry for you." After all, she is so beautiful, she has such a good figure, she is rich, educated, and most importantly, she loves you, and it is not easy to find a girlfriend like this. By the way, she doesn't seem to know you're a wizard?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't, mind yourself. Remember, you're under the sights of demons, and if you don't want to die, you'd better stay vigilant. God knows how many people in this world have sacrificed to him, and how many are willing to kill you to please him. Zhang Cheng coldly warned, and then locked himself in the basement without looking back.
Looking at the heavy wooden gate, the girl shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly and muttered, "Okay, okay, count me in for talking." It seems that Joanna is right, the good men in the world are either dead or don't like women, and as for the rest, they are all some selfish bastards......"
Zhang Cheng didn't know how Gracie slandered herself, and when she returned to the basement, she immediately summoned the spirit creature to clean the room, followed by the messy thoughts, took out the parchment and glanced at the information on it.
I saw the last line written in small letters:
Quest - Deciphering the Notes: Phase 1 completed (you begin to slowly get in touch with the nature of the magical energy in this world, and continue to uncover more secrets hidden behind it).
Reward - Body Holds Mana Maximum, 4 Talent Points.
The moment the last word was read, an indescribable arcane energy surged out, flowing at high speed along the magic circuit formed by the body, and in the blink of an eye, it completed the increase in the upper limit of mana.
As for the talent points, he didn't hesitate to choose two Extreme Cold extensions to increase the maximum range of Frost-based spells.
The remaining two points are added to the Frost Channel, which reduces the mana consumed by casting the Frost Spell, and the other is added to the famous Ice Barrier, which is what many players in the game call the Refrigerator skill.
With the help of this skill, Zhang Cheng doesn't have to worry too much about being attacked in the future, as long as the enemy can't kill him in the first place, then he can quickly isolate all forms of damage with the help of the ice barrier, and use control magic such as flashing and frost nova to distance himself.
In addition, he also had two more spells in his mind, Ice Armor (an upgraded version of the Frost Armor Technique) and Crafting Mana Emerald, which could now be cast immediately with just one thought......
