Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

Lin Bai ignored Ning Wei.

How come I never noticed before that this woman named Ning Wei is so talkative?

If it weren't for the fact that his power-binding body was temporarily unusable and he needed her to help him travel, he would have left on his own long ago.

He glanced back at the direction of the Sunset Mountains.

Before leaving, Hongnan said that the Sunset Mountains were a treasure trove.

The mountain range is vast, and it is home to countless crimson behemoths.

Once we return to Scarlet Order City and upgrade the Alchemist's level, we'll have to come back again.

Lin Bai made a decision in his heart.

As for why they were in such a hurry to go back for a promotion...

Two reasons.

First, the forced use of the Power Body's thousand-fold amplification did indeed cause significant injuries.

Although they have not completely lost their fighting ability.

However, if you encounter a truly formidable opponent of the same level, it is indeed easy for problems to arise.

The second reason...

The Power Body is just one of the Nine Extremes Body Techniques!

His second secret body should be activated.

......

Scarlet Order City.

Ning Wei stopped in front of an obsidian-like alchemical tower and skillfully pressed her student badge into a groove on the tower wall.

A door slid silently open in the stone wall.

"This is the exchange hall. You can exchange merit points and points, and also hand over missions here." She stepped aside to let Lin Bai go first.

The hall was bustling with people, yet the atmosphere was quiet, with only the soft sounds of footsteps and whispers.

Most alchemists were in a hurry, their faces showing fatigue or solemnity.

The two arrived at an empty counter.

Behind the counter is a huge light screen that displays the exchange prices of various items.

Ning Wei operated another small light screen in front of her and looked up at Lin Bai.

"Your badge."

Lin Bai took off the badge from his chest and handed it over.

Ning Wei took the badges and placed them side by side in a slot. She traced a few lines on the screen with her fingertips, and a soft light flowed from her badge to Lin Bai's badge.

"Alright, the 5,000 Trailblazer Points have been transferred." Ning Wei returned the badge to Lin Bai.

"The claws of the Shadow Wolf."

Lin Bai took the badge, probed it with his mental energy, and confirmed that the points had been credited to his account.

Without saying a word, he took out the pair of pitch-black claws, which still exuded a chilling aura, from his spatial ring and placed them on the counter.

Ning Wei carefully retracted her claws, a rare hint of joy appearing on her face.

She glanced at Lin Bai and couldn't help but ask again, "Can your puppet really be used again?"

"Want to give it a try?" Lin Bai asked back.

Ning Wei immediately shut up and shook her head.

......

Walk to the counter dedicated to the exchange spell.

Lin Bai placed the badge in the sensing area, and the light screen in front of him lit up, displaying a list of first-tier spell exchange options.

There are countless varieties, no less than a hundred.

Most procedures cost between 100 and 200 points, which is very inexpensive.

Lin Bai was well aware of his own advantages.

Ordinary alchemists advance slowly, spending a long time at each rank.

Therefore, it is necessary to learn various attack and defense techniques in order to deal with possible battles.

But he's different.

With the parchment in hand, as long as the world's essence is sufficient, he can instantly master any technique.

The speed of promotion is destined to be frighteningly fast.

The attack techniques you learn now at great expense may become obsolete in a few months because they are too low-level, which would be a complete waste.

In battle, a secret body is enough.

At this stage, he only needs to use the fewest points to accumulate the number of spells required for advancement.

His gaze swept quickly across the list, skipping over those offensive spells with powerful-sounding names, and focusing specifically on support spells.

He quickly identified his target.

"Mud Swamp Techniques", 100 points.

It can create a mud pit in a designated area to restrict enemy movement.

"Windwalking Techniques", 150 points.

The buff is applied to oneself, significantly increasing movement speed for a short period of time.

These are all very practical auxiliary abilities.

"Exchange these two," Lin Bai said to the staff member in charge of registration behind the counter.

The staff member glanced at Lin Bai, then at the two techniques he had chosen, his eyes showing a strange look.

A first-tier alchemist with few points, instead of choosing an offensive spell for self-defense, chose two support spells. What was he thinking?

Without saying a word, he deducted the points in a businesslike manner and handed two sealed animal hide rolls to Lin Bai.

By this point, Lin Bai had mastered five first-tier spells: "Fountain of Life," "Wind Shield Spell," "Explosive Flame Spell," "Mud Swamp Spell," and "Wind Walk Spell."

The first condition for advancement to the second tier has been met.

"Open the list of second-tier spells," Lin Bai said again.

The light screen in front of him switched, and the option to exchange for a second-tier spell appeared.

The quantity has decreased significantly, and the price has generally increased to around 500 points per course.

Lin Bai's goal was clear: to advance to the third rank, he needed to master five second-rank techniques.

He still didn't choose offensive spells, but instead picked five moderately priced, different auxiliary and defensive spells.

Rock Armor Technique, a defensive technique.

"Mental Shock", a control-themed novel.

"Energy Detection", a detective game.

......

It cost a total of 2,500 points.

There are 2,250 points remaining.

He ignored the increasingly strange look in the eyes of the staff member.

Lin Bai took a deep breath: "Open the list of third-tier spells."

The light screen switched again.

There are even fewer third-tier spells, only a dozen or so, but each one is extremely expensive.

The cheapest option requires 2,000 points.

The most expensive ones even cost as much as five thousand.

Lin Bai, who had originally wanted to continue choosing functional surgical techniques, shook his head helplessly.

I don't have enough points.

His gaze finally settled on a spell called "Annihilation Ray".

The description is simple: Concentrate your mental energy to a high degree and shoot out a ray with annihilation properties to destroy all matter in its path.

Purely offensive techniques.

Price: 2,000 points.

Lin Bai did not hesitate at all.

Given a choice, functionality should definitely be the priority.

But compared to that, rapid promotion is clearly more important.

"This is it."

The staff member in charge of registration trembled slightly, and asked again, "Are you... are you sure you want to exchange for the Tier 3 spell 'Annihilation Ray'?"

It's unusual enough for a first-tier alchemist to choose five second-tier spells in a row.

Can I directly exchange for a Tier 3 attack spell?

Are you crazy?

"Is there a problem?" Lin Bai asked.

"No, no." The person quickly operated the device.

After deducting two thousand points, he handed over the roll that was noticeably thicker and heavier than the others.

Lin Bai took the scroll and turned to leave.

The staff member was left behind the counter, staring blankly at the Level 1 mark on Lin Bai's information.
