Did the villainous professor survive today?

"Olivia? Olivia?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Olivia murmured drowsily:

"Professor Krenk..."

"Yes, it's me. Are you alright?"

Kroenke's concerned voice came through.

Olivia's eyelids fluttered a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.

The starlight and moonlight flowed through the night, and scattered petals fell from the laurel tree to the ground.

The imported agarwood from the East burns slowly, its thick smoke refreshing and invigorating.

"Professor Krenk, are we in heaven?"

Olivia's last memory was of fainting in the abyss.

"Can't we hope for something better..." Krenk was speechless. He made up an excuse, intending to brush Olivia off.

"There was a psionic explosion not far from the abyss at the time, and the aftershocks affected us. You were summoning a spirit at the time, and the flow of magic resonated with the ripples of the explosion, which caused you to faint. Then I took you away from the abyss. It's that simple."

"Oh, I'm still alive?" Olivia asked.

"……Um."

"Great! I thought we wouldn't be able to have barbecue." Olivia's focus was always so novel.

"Oh, you really can't have barbecue anymore," Krenk said, pointing to a bowl of congee on the bedside table. "Your brain has suffered some damage, and it's not suitable for you to eat greasy and heavy food until it heals naturally."

Olivia's face immediately fell.

Open your mouth.

Kroenke picked up the bowl and, like a family member caring for a patient, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and held it to Olivia's lips.

The rice had a pleasant, refreshing aroma and the grains were plump. Olivia instinctively opened her mouth.

"Professor Klenk, your rice is delicious! Where did you buy it?"

"This is imported rouge rice from the East. It's tribute rice from the royal family of that empire, and it costs about ten pounds per kilogram."

"You're kidding me! It's so expensive!" Olivia's eyes widened instantly; this price was almost half a month's salary for her.

"It's just a small amount of money, don't worry about it, let's eat."

Kroenke continued to feed Olivia.

During this time, Kroenke discreetly observed Olivia's expression.

She did not show any resistance when she was being fed.

It seems that Olivia has come to regard him as a trustworthy friend.

After making this judgment, Kroenke then made the following request:

"By the way, please keep everything that happened today a secret."

Currently, besides herself, only Olivia knows of Alice's existence.

As long as he keeps her quiet, no one else will know that he has made a contract with Alice unless he takes the initiative himself.

"Keep it a secret?"

"Yes, please keep everything that happened today a secret."

Kroenke stared directly into Olivia's eyes, trying to win her over with his good looks.

Looking at the magnificent face before her, even the not-so-bright Olivia blushed a lovely color.

For some reason, her thoughts were blank, like a blackboard erased with chalk.

She always felt that such a scene made her heart pound, as if it was about to jump out of her throat at any moment.

"Olivia?" Krenk noticed that the other person was blankly silent.

"fine……"

Olivia forcefully lowered her head, threw back the covers, and got out of bed.

"Thank you, Professor Krenk. I will keep today's events a secret."

She walked quickly outside.

"Excuse me, I'm not eating. I'll be going now..."

You increased Olivia's affection for you.

[Points +500!]

[Current points: 13050!]

Before Kroenke could even stop her, Olivia's figure vanished into the corner in a flash.

"That works too, at least the goal has been achieved."

Kroenke put down the bowl in his hand and turned his attention to the system.

[Spirit Lv30 (0/2150)]

[Mana: Lv32 (0/2450)]

Strength Lv14 (130/340)

[Constitution Lv16 (340/420)]

Krenk hesitated for a moment, then decided to allocate the points to mana.

After his journey through the Sea of ​​Dreams, Krenk knew that a lower mental attribute was acceptable; the most important thing was functionality. Right now, being able to fight was the most important thing for him.

The level of one's magic power symbolizes the power of one's spellcasting and can be combined with Alice's skill combos and one's own exquisite technique.

For Kroenke, mana is the highest priority for allocating skill points.

For him, who can double the power of spells, each increase in his magic level leads to an exponential increase in his strength.

[You have spent 2450 points, and your mana level has been upgraded to Lv33]

[You have spent 2600 points, and your mana level has been upgraded to Lv34]

[You have spent 2750 points, and your mana level has been upgraded to Lv35]

[You have spent 2900 points, and your mana level has been upgraded to Lv36]

Current remaining points: 2350

A warm sensation rose from Krenk's lower abdomen, making him shiver violently.

Unlike the blushing feeling that came from the previous surge in magic power, after this time, Krenk actually felt a sense of liberation, as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened.

[Magic value: 5200]

Krenk activated his enhanced spiritual vision and looked down to observe the magical vortex in his abdomen.

He could see that the vortex that had been swirling with white waves had become calm and restrained, and at the same time, the pool of water that had been accumulating magic power had become crystal clear, so clear that one could see to the bottom at a glance.

"So clean."

Kroenke expressed his heartfelt feelings.

For mages who have just acquired magic vortexes, their magic vortexes are like those of a three-year-old child, who will put anything they can get their hands on into their mouth.

Not only the magic in the air, but also the impurities it contains will be absorbed.

This results in the fact that although they have the ability to fight continuously, their magic is not pure and is rich in various impurities, which greatly affects the efficiency of casting spells.

If the reservoir where he used to store magic was like murky sewage, then now it's like a water filter has been installed, removing impurities.

The difference between clear magic and murky magic is like heaven and earth.

Krenk stretched out his hand, and a swirling mass of water appeared in his palm.

He drew a long bow of water from the water clump and aimed it at the window.

Then, Krenk had a slight thought.

In the blink of an eye, the water arrow transformed into a burning rocket.

"Sure enough, the efficiency of magic conversion has increased significantly, and we can now link spells together," Krenk said with satisfaction.

Once the magic power within a mage's body becomes clear, they can attempt to chain spells together.

In gaming terms, it's called a combo.

When a mage casts a spell, if the flow of magic within their body is rich in impurities and changes too drastically in a short period of time, it is very likely to cause a blockage in the magic, eventually leading to a "magical explosion".

Kroenke nodded, then suddenly remembered something:

"Oh right, if that's the case, then we can try this."
