Bai Qiu was speechless.
It seemed that gaining too much power in a short time wasn’t a good thing—even for him.
Having his magic increase more than tenfold in a single day inevitably led to situations like this.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a major issue.
After what had just happened, Bai Qiu no longer felt like continuing his meditation.
Instead, he used his magic to form a pathway along the ground beneath his feet, extending all the way to the door.
Reaching the doorway, Bai Qiu stretched out his hand.
Looking at the doorknob right in front of him, he swallowed nervously…
“O-open it!”
After more than ten seconds of internal struggle, Bai Qiu finally decided to open the door.
But what was bound to happen still happened—the doorknob, along with the entire lock, snapped with a crack…
Now there was no lock left on the door—only the door panel and a large hole.
Bai Qiu shook his head helplessly, but then suddenly thought of something.
Right—I can’t use my body or magic, but I can still use mental power!
Immediately, he condensed an invisible hand with his mental power, opened the door, and left the safe zone.
As for compensating the landlord… that could wait until tomorrow.
…
Bai Qiu wasn’t wearing the Dragon Slayer Set MAX, because if he had, he’d probably be engulfed in flames right now.
After leaving the safe zone, with nothing better to do, he opened the map to check his exploration progress.
The exploration rate of Zone 2233 had reached 91%, and two nearby areas had also surpassed 70%.
“Why not try maxing out exploration in all regions?” Bai Qiu muttered.
Unlocking teleportation devices in 50 safe zones granted an achievement—so fully exploring 51 regions should logically grant something similar.
However, even for Bai Qiu, this was an enormous task.
There was no need to rush—he could start with the nearby areas.
The system reward in Zone 2233 had already been claimed by Zhang Shiyao, so there was a high chance there wouldn’t be a second reward.
Bai Qiu didn’t mind.
He began increasing his map exploration, crushing any monsters he encountered along the way.
In the latter half of the night, after raising the exploration of three nearby areas to 100%, Bai Qiu decided to test something again.
He randomly found a convenience store and tried to push open the door…
Crack… crack… crack…
After a while, fine cracks began spreading across the glass door.
Bai Qiu quickly let go, stepped back, and left as if nothing had happened.
Yeah… it seemed that fully adapting to the massive surge in his magic—and the resulting loss of control—would still take some time.
But it was already much better than before.
Bai Qiu then took out the Contract Space Card and released A Yuan from it.
A Yuan was curled up into a ball, fast asleep.
With every breath, it made a soft whistling sound like wind blowing.
Its mouth was slightly open, drool dribbling out, and there was even a little bubble on its nose that grew and shrank as it breathed in… and out…
A breeze passed by…
Pop! The bubble burst.
A Yuan smacked its lips in confusion, making soft chomp chomp sounds.
Bai Qiu smiled and said, “Alright, A Yuan, time for breakfast!”
“Moo?” A Yuan jolted awake.
Upon seeing Bai Qiu, it immediately tried to nuzzle up to him—but was stopped by a magic barrier.
“Huh…”
Still puzzled, A Yuan tilted its head.
Bai Qiu explained directly, “I can’t pet you right now. Look…”
He removed the magic barrier beneath his feet and stepped onto the ground.
Instantly, a powerful surge of magic radiated from his body, sweeping outward.
The ground beneath his feet cracked in an instant…
A Yuan was quite intelligent.
It quickly understood what Bai Qiu meant and obediently lay down, staring at him with a pair of innocent eyes.
Bai Qiu first fed it some meat and several bottles of Riptide Potions, along with a few different types of water-element potions he had purchased.
After feeding it, he didn’t store A Yuan back into the Contract Space Card.
Instead, he fiddled with the card for a moment and said, “Alright, A Yuan, come with me. I’ll help you level up tonight.”
That’s right—he had just adjusted the experience distribution.
Now that he was level 30, farming ordinary monsters would mostly trigger the minimum experience gain mechanic again.
He might as well allocate as much experience as possible to A Yuan and help it level up.
After all, he himself wasn’t in a suitable state to level up further in the short term…
A Yuan obediently followed behind Bai Qiu.
Bai Qiu took out Fallen Dragon’s Bow, continuously drawing his bow and shooting down approaching monsters.
Of course, in his definition, anything within a three-kilometer radius counted as “approaching”…
The map interface floated before Bai Qiu.
He wasn’t just farming monsters with A Yuan—he was also heading toward unexplored areas on the map, increasing exploration progress along the way.
Killing two birds with one stone!
A Yuan quietly followed behind him.
Though it made no sound, in its heart it had already become Bai Qiu’s cheerleader, constantly shouting things like “Go, Master!” and “Master is amazing!”
Bai Qiu’s expression didn’t change much on the surface, but inside, he was incredibly pleased.
Raising A Yuan was truly rewarding on an emotional level.
The sky gradually brightened with the pale light of dawn.
Under Bai Qiu’s guidance, A Yuan successfully reached level 23.
Seeing that the time was about right and his magic instability had mostly stabilized, Bai Qiu decided to return to the safe zone.
“Come back for now, A Yuan. I’ll take you to the reservoir to play later,” Bai Qiu said, taking out the Contract Space Card.
A Yuan nodded but didn’t go in immediately.
Instead, it affectionately rubbed its head against Bai Qiu before, as if familiar with the process, entering the contract space on its own.
…
After returning to the safe zone, Bai Qiu first went back to his dorm to wash up.
Then he found the landlord, explained the situation, and compensated him with 1,000 Sanctum Coins.
After that, he had breakfast with Zhang Shiyao, who had already woken up.
She looked at him curiously and asked, “Big brother, what are you going to do today?”
She already knew that Bai Qiu had unlocked the teleportation devices in all 51 regions—or rather, the entire cross-zone channel knew about it.
She was curious about his next move.
Bai Qiu shrugged and said he planned to take A Yuan to the reservoir to relax for a while, then come back and start expanding outward from Zone 2233, increasing map exploration.
“Then… can I come along too?!” Zhang Shiyao asked excitedly.
After all, Bai Qiu had described the place so beautifully—she wanted to see it for herself.
Bai Qiu nodded. “Of course you can.”
Sometimes, a bit of relaxation was necessary.
Zhang Shiyao was now level 24.
If Bai Qiu hadn’t gone on his monster-farming spree yesterday, she would have nearly caught up to him in level.
It was clear how hard she had been working lately!
Every day from 7 AM to 9 PM, fourteen hours straight—either grinding monsters or increasing map exploration.
