The shop owner chose to simply turn off the cube-shaped monitor head, so that no more expressions would be displayed.

"Hmm?~~"

"Ha...ha~~~~"

Several minutes passed before Valensa lay completely on the table, her black stockings soaked with sweat and her tongue lolling out slightly. Only then did the strange heat that had been raging inside her finally subside and gather at her lower abdomen.

Valensa now feels a warm sensation in her lower abdomen, similar to the feeling of stuffing a hot water bottle into her clothes on a cold day.

"Hmm, it seems it's over."

Only then did the shop owner turn the blocky monitor back on, revealing a bean-shaped smiling face:

"You can try circulating the energy within your body... Holy Light or Mental Power will do, and then you will know the wonders of the secondary core."

"……Is it?"

Although she was very self-conscious about her embarrassing moment, Valensa was more curious about what this supposedly best-used legendary gold item actually did.

She quickly followed the shop owner's instructions and began to control the flow of holy light within her body, only to find that about 20% of the holy light was absorbed by the secondary core and stored away.

"This is……"

Valensa had a sudden thought and tried the power of mind again, discovering that, like the Holy Light, about 20% of it would be absorbed by the secondary core during its operation.

"Understand?"

The shop owner only explained in detail at this point:

"The secondary core, also known as the bio-energy secondary core, is like an auxiliary fuel tank for an airplane or a backup power source for electrical appliances for a cultivator like you."

It can absorb and store a portion of the bio-energy you use during your daily training, and then quickly recharge it when you are exhausted in battle, allowing you to unleash it all at once and increase your output limit.

Like the divine runes, the secondary core has growth potential; its bio-energy storage limit will increase as your own energy limit increases.

"You're quite experienced in combat now. Isn't an item that doubles both your combat endurance and burst damage the most useful thing you could ask for?"

"Yes, of course it counts!"

Valensa nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with this secondary core, and no longer cared about the embarrassment she had just suffered.

P.S.: Several dozen words were censored, so I added commas to reach the word count.

Chapter 203 The Strange Big Sister in Black Stockings!

Valensa was quite satisfied with her haul of two golden legendary cards after a hundred consecutive draws, and both of them were very useful golden legendary cards. Even if the remaining blue, white, and purple cards were all trash except for enhancement cards, it didn't matter.

But actually, I'm still a little dissatisfied.

Because Valencia's purpose in coming to the Dimensional Hardware Store, which was also the problem she initially wanted to solve, remains unresolved.

The artifact cloak and secondary core crafted on-site by Her Majesty the Sun Goddess were designed to further enhance Valensa's strengths, making her more durable and resilient. However, they still failed to grant her a truly useful area-of-effect (AOE) ability for clearing out mobs.

Keep spending money and keep trying to gacha pulls?

No way. Valensa's countless experiences with mobile games from her past life taught her that luck is conserved. Now that she has just obtained two good items, continuing to open blind boxes would only result in getting the pity system every time and still not getting what she wants, which would be a huge loss.

So, should I continue to beg Her Majesty the Sun Goddess to favor me one more time?

Not at all.

What Valencia is doing now is actually similar to what those streamers do, except that her audience is all goddesses... and most likely, all of them are lewd and shameless goddesses.

Asking for tips is fine once in a while, but if it's done continuously, it will inevitably make viewers feel that it's too commercial, and fans will easily turn into haters.

Of course, there are also top-ranked fans who shower streamers with generous donations, but those top-ranked fans are either shills hired by the streamers or simply lusting after the streamers' bodies. Streamers who accept these donations will be reprimanded.

Valensa didn't want to actually be captured by the Sun Goddess and taken to the divine realm to be tortured.

Although the Sun Goddess's fiery appearance with black hair, a black dress, and black stockings is very alluring, Valensa admits that she has been tempted when looking at the statue of the goddess, but after all, she is a goddess.

What if the goddess is also very possessive and, after rejecting Valensa, forbids Valensa from dating other women?

How could a good woman give up the forest for a tree... Pshaw, no! A good woman should never abandon her wife after starting a relationship with her!

Therefore, Valensa also rejected the idea of ​​continuing to seek the favor of the sun goddess.

But the problem still needs to be solved. Since the Dimensional Hardware Store can't do it, we can only think of other ways.

After returning to Pink Rose, Valensa first went to check on the room where she had previously entertained Vivi.

Wei had already left because it was time to leave, leaving only three exhausted young women in the room, along with skirts, stockings, and underwear scattered throughout the room.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After thinking for a moment, Valensa gave each of the three young ladies a handful of gold coins.

Wei definitely won't pay, and Tia is a shareholder in the store, so she probably won't be paid to entertain guests either. These three young ladies are likely being ordered by the store to entertain VIPs for free.

Everyone should reap what they sow, and all legal work is equal regardless of its social status.

In addition, Valencia's financial situation has improved a lot, so she paid out of her own pocket to give the three young ladies the compensation they deserved.

"Thank you... thank you, Lady Valensa."

Even though the young women didn't have the strength to stand up, they still tried their best to change their postures to express their gratitude to Valensa.

Valensa didn't say anything more, just smiled and waved before leaving Pink Rose.

She didn't rush back to the academy, nor did she go to the church or look for Melina. Instead, she wandered aimlessly through the streets of the capital, searching for inspiration to solve her problem.

As she strolled around, a sound that seemed to be from some unruly children started to bother her.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw three little boys with mischievous faces playing happily by a small pond not far away.

Valensa hated bratty kids in her past life, and she still hates them now.

The little girl's words can be forgiven, but the little boy... well, let them learn a lesson.

With that thought in mind, Valensa flashed forward and rushed towards the three brats.

Of course, Valencia isn't some kind of devil, and she wouldn't physically assault children. The most she would do to discipline unruly kids is play pranks, which can be considered an eye for an eye.

Let's see what these kids are playing with first, and then give them a 'surprise'.

Thinking this, Valensa hid in the shadows and looked at the small pool where the children were playing.

As a result, she became completely absorbed in what she was looking at.

The game the kids play is actually very simple: first, fold a few small paper boats and place them on the water, then throw stones into the water. The stones don't hit the paper boats directly, but rather they hit the very center of the paper boats... Whoever can use the ripples created by the stones to capsize all the paper boats wins.

The simple game suddenly gave Valensa inspiration.

How strong are the ripples when a stone is thrown into the water?

It's not strong, but it's enough to capsize a small paper boat.

Similarly, if we could strike the ground in some way to create a shockwave, wouldn't that wipe out even the weakest enemies like goblins in the vicinity?

Could a Pearl-level warrior cultivator achieve this level of power?

It seems a bit difficult... but what if we could find a way to reduce the loss of force when it hits the ground and spread as much kinetic energy as possible in all directions?

Worth a try!

Valensa's eyes lit up the more she thought about it. The few naughty kids she used to think were really annoying now seemed kind of cute.

She stopped hiding and appeared in front of the children, taking out a box of exquisite desserts for each of them from her storage space.

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help to me. Please enjoy your meal."

Without waiting for the children's reply, Valensa sped off again... She couldn't wait to get back to the academy to test her idea.

As the pair of long, black-stockinged legs receded further and further away on the street, the three mischievous kids looked at each other in bewilderment.

What a strange older sister... but the snacks she brought were really delicious.

bang.

The kids quickly lost interest in the little paper boats in the water and started enjoying their desserts.

. . . . .

After rushing back to the college, Valensa arrived at the open space behind the dormitory, carrying with her a dozen or so cheap porcelain vases that she had bought from street vendors along the way.

After roughly estimating her strength, Valensa took out four porcelain bottles and placed them in four directions about ten meters away from the center.

Let's try it out based on our intuition first.

Valensa took a deep breath and activated her mental powers.

Increased jumping ability, take off.

Whoosh.

With a powerful thrust, Valensa's long, slender legs, clad in black stockings, propelled her to a height of nearly 50 meters in the blink of an eye, accompanied by the screech of her body against the air.

The instant her kinetic energy was completely depleted and gravitational potential energy began to take effect, Valensa changed the way she used her mental power, transforming it into strength enhancement and weight enhancement.

The rich young lady's falling attack!

Snapped!

With the sound of the boots stomping, the ground where the impact was direct sank completely, and cracks spread outwards from the point of contact between the foot and the ground, affecting an area of ​​about five meters.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Chapter 204 The Female Knight Hopping and Bumping Through Her Cultivation

Oh dear, it failed as expected.

Looking at the four cheap porcelain vases around her that hadn't even fallen over, Valensa sighed.

Based on her estimation, she felt that the force she used should be sufficient, but unfortunately the ground was not water, making it more difficult for the force generated after the impact to spread laterally.

That kick would have instantly killed even a weaker Pearl-level monster, but its attack range was limited to just a spot under Valensa's feet, which was the opposite of the AOE attack she wanted.

However, Valensa did not lose heart. No new skill can be developed overnight; they are all gradually perfected after countless failures.

If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times.

Valensa took two deep breaths, then leaped high into the air again, stomping on the ground.

She tried her best to control the way her legs exerted force when she stomped, and at the same time, she used her mental power to imagine that the force of her stomping should spread horizontally, rather than penetrating the ground with her feet.

The second kick, the third kick, the fourth kick...

After a few more kicks, as Valensa continued to adjust and improve, the effect changed slightly. The cracks widened a bit, and the porcelain vase 10 meters away began to shake, but it didn't even fall over.

The goal of shattering a porcelain bottle 10 meters away with a single kick by Valencia is still a long way off.

The problem remains the same... The power is sufficient, but the efficiency of converting it into effective attacks is too low; most of the power is still trapped deep within the ground.

The kind of AOE attack that involves slamming the floor in some movies and animations in my past life looks cool, but it's actually a huge waste of power. Only beings with extraordinary power would use it, and Valensa's current power is far from that level.

She can only improve her skills to achieve the same effect.

According to classical mechanics, it is almost impossible to change the way force spreads as much as possible at the moment of impact with a target.

However, this was a magical world, and Valensa had seen far too many ways of exerting force and moving that defied the laws of physics since she was a child. Coupled with the wonders of mental power, she felt that she should be able to do it.

In fact, Valensa has already found her rhythm; what she needs next is a lot of training.

So starting that afternoon, every free time after class, a female knight in a short skirt and black stockings could be seen jumping around not far behind the dormitory building, making thumping and slapping sounds.

Many people gathered around out of curiosity, and when they learned that Valensa was undergoing a special skill training, they all offered helpful advice.

"To generate enough force to spread outwards as shockwaves after impacting the ground? That's extremely difficult."

Giru, a powerful warrior wielding a large iron plate as a weapon, immediately urged Valensa to give up:

"I've had this idea before... to use weapons like big iron hammers to create shockwaves by smashing the ground for area attacks."

But after actually trying it, I realized that that kind of attack consumed far too much power... It was much less strenuous to just cut the enemy down one sword at a time.

"Perhaps Valencia, you could try learning a few spells?"

Wizard Harry also offered his opinion:

"You're doing this kind of training because you lost to the goblins in the last test and now want a skill that can clear out weak enemies over a large area, right? If that's the case, then learning a few spells might be simpler than training your almost impossible power techniques here."

"No, I've already tried your method. Tia taught me magic herself."
