Twelve million…

It was definitely a huge sum for a Magician who had just ranked up to the Intermediate Level. It could afford half a Soul Seed, granting the Magician an edge over most Magicians at the same level. However, it was not as significant for Intermediate Magicians who had reached their peak.

A Galaxy Vein useful for ranking up to the Advanced Level cost around a hundred million, and the rate of success was fully dependent on the Magician’s cultivation.

As the humans and sea monsters were in a temporary truce, Mu Ningxue left the East Maritime Fortress early in the morning and visited the marketplace in Tokyo.

After asking around, Mu Ningxue had a wry smile. Back in her country, with the right connections, she could get herself a Galaxy Vein with one hundred million, but a Galaxy Vein cost around one hundred and ten million here.

The money she earned from her hard work in the East Maritime Fortress could only cover the difference between the prices of a Galaxy Vein. Mu Ningxue was suddenly clueless about what other options she had.

It was rather hilarious, too.

She once had a great lead over the others, but since she was involved in the mess, it felt like the others would surpass her in no time, and proceeded to leave her far behind.

Mu Ningxue was not unaware; she knew many on the team had already ranked up to the Advanced Level, but they never showed it, or they were still learning how to draw the Star Constellation…

It would be a great mistake if any outsider assumed they were still at the peak of the Intermediate Level!

It would soon be time to evaluate the performance of the members on the team. Even those who had yet to rank up to the Intermediate Level would receive lots of resources from the factions supporting them. They would buy countless Galaxy Veins for them to attempt to rank up, as if they were free. By then, Mu Ningxue would be the only one that was still in the Intermediate Level on the team!

During the training period, the competition between different national teams was not as fierce as she initially thought. The real competition was between the members on the team, since every time the team departed for a new destination, one or two people on the team would be replaced!

Mu Ningxue returned to the East Maritime Fortress gloomily.

Did that mean she could only break through the barrier surrounding the Nebula by herself? The chance was so slim, not to mention that she didn’t really have that much time to wait patiently for it to happen.

After passing the hall, Mu Ningxue pushed the door to her room open…

The slightly absent-minded girl was furious when she discovered a man lying on her bed.

”You’re going too far!” Mu Ningxue glared at Mo Fan.

She was grateful toward Mo Fan for saving her life, yet it did not necessarily mean he could come into her room when she was away and lie on her bed. That was the borderline for an irreproachable woman like her!

”Me… what did I do?” Mo Fan’s eyes widened. He looked extremely confused.

Mu Ningxue was about to lose it when she saw her belongings were not in the room. The messy room was full of Mo Fan’s clothes, and socks scattering everywhere.

Mu Ningxue finally realized that she had walked into Mo Fan’s room instead.

The layout of the suit was symmetrical. As Mu Ningxue was on her way back, she was thinking of paying Mo Fan a visit to see how well he was recovering. However, she was too preoccupied with her thoughts that she simply assumed she had gone back to her room when her body was moving toward Mo Fan’s room…

”Oh, nothing, I’m here to see how you’re doing,” Mu Ningxue collected her thoughts.

Mo Fan felt cold sweat dripping down his face. He smilingly greeted Mu Ningxue while hiding the phone that he had been using to browse some Japanese adult movie actresses under the blanket.

”I’m fine, it’s just that I lost too much blood and didn’t notice. My kidney is perfectly fine too!” Mo Fan smiled.

”Good to hear that, I’ll be going now…” Mu Ningxue felt uneasy staying in Mo Fan’s room.

She was not feeling uneasy because of Mo Fan’s occasional glimpses at her, since she had long gotten used to them, but the pungent smell from the dirty socks lying on the floor and a weird smell lingering in the air.

”Have a seat, I can tell that you’re feeling down,” said Mo Fan.
