What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 6-6- Windfall
Kelsey carried Duomi to the room in the castle that was specifically used for meditation. It had been decorated as the most suitable place for shadow magicians to practice.

Crystals rich in shadow mana are piled into hills in the corner. These black-purple crystals will slowly leak out mana and be absorbed by the mage to speed up the storage of mana in the body or use sufficient mana to transform the body.

Of course, the user can also choose not to move these energies, so that a shadow-based atmosphere can be formed.

That's what the mage did. He used his magic power to condense the magic power evenly distributed in the room around Domi, so that Domi could bathe in the richest atmosphere.

He could most intuitively feel the energy pouring into his body continuously, converging with the existing energy, steaming together, and flowing throughout his body.

[The host is in an environment rich in shadow energy...]

[Remaining innate energy detected...]

[The energy will cooperate with the innate Qi to transform the host body to the extent that it is most suitable for this attribute energy...]

【Error! 】

[The host’s only talent is obtained by the system and cannot be enhanced in a normal way. We are looking for a solution...]

[Excess energy is being converted into "the villain value required to upgrade the 'Shadow Talent'". 】

【Current progress: 1/10000】

1 minute later.

【Current progress: 2/10000】

Domi was immediately overjoyed when he saw this. Upgrading his shadow talent to the intermediate level originally required [-] villain points, but now he could achieve the same effect with the baby's innate energy. The most important thing was that he didn't need to pay extra villain points.

Referred to as the white female ticket.

It's just that the progress of adding one per minute and second is a bit embarrassing. If you want to reach 1, you need to stay here for at least seven days without eating or drinking.

Even if he wanted to stay here, his parents would not agree. Babies need a lot of sleep, and Domi is no exception. This is an inevitable limitation brought by this body.

If you can't extend the time you stay here, then speed up the efficiency of absorption!
Duomi sat on the mat, his eyes looking blankly at the floor in front of him, but in fact he was looking through the chat history of the system and adding some thoughts:
"Energy cooperates with innate Qi to transform my body. Obviously, innate Qi cannot be increased through acquired means, but energy can be increased.

It is known that people will slowly absorb the free mana in the air into the body, and the amount determines the talent. In other words, the higher the talent, the more energy is absorbed, and the faster the efficiency will be!
If the talent is raised to another level and the efficiency of absorbing energy becomes faster, will the progress increase faster? "

This should be the only option currently.

"It's just 9900 villain points." Duomi looked at his savings. He saw a total of 100 villain points. Another [-] would be enough.

That would be a great experiment. If the efficiency could be improved, even just a little, he would be confident enough to upgrade his talent to an "advanced" level within a year!The cost is only [-] villain points upgraded to the "intermediate" level, which is an investment that will not lose money no matter what.

100 villain points are easy to get. You can easily get it by eating milk or spraying his brother. When he came to the meditation room the next day, he already had a huge sum of [-] yuan.

"Whether our plan will come true depends on this time!"

Excited heart, trembling hands.

The moment he pressed "Upgrade", the [-] villain value was cleared.

At the same time, the surrounding shadow energy became restless, and the sudden change almost caused the mage to lose control of them.

"Wow! What kind of gold mine?!" The mage's eyes were full of disbelief. He obviously didn't do anything. According to the contract between him and the Duke, he didn't even touch the energy at all. Why did the energy of death move on its own?

He didn't think about Duomi at all.

In the end, I racked my brains and couldn't come up with a reason. I could only attribute everything to geological changes caused by the movement of celestial bodies and abnormal climate...

When the energy returns to calmness, everything will be like nothing happened.

The mage also relaxed his vigilance and went into a daze as usual.

The system's rear foot is connected to the front foot to issue a prompt:
[Shadow talent upgrade completed: elementary → intermediate]

Duomi waited patiently for a minute, staring at the progress bar——

[Current progress: 186/10w]

The progress at the end of yesterday was 180/1w, not counting the overflow, this time it was directly increased by six points!
"Success! Wuhu!!"

Duomi cheered secretly, it seemed that upgrading talents could really improve efficiency.

He suddenly discovered that sitting still is such a beautiful thing. Master, I have realized it.

However, at this rate, if you stay here for three hours every day, it will take 93 days to reach another level, but this is not a problem. For babies, time is the least valuable thing.

The real problem is that he can't predict when the innate energy will overflow, and then he won't be able to get stuck with this bug.

"It's worth spending more energy to create villains."

Domi secretly made up his mind.

So during these 93 days, Domi did not miss any opportunity to earn villain points.

She always makes Kelsey giggle when taking a shower, just for the dozens of extra villain points she gets for "excellent performance"; she always fights for stickers when she stays with her cheap parents; Teacher Becky's enlightenment class I always drag it fifty times before cutting the leeks...

It's just that he lost a way to make money at the dinner table. In order to prevent him from yelling and making trouble again, he and Kelsey were sent to the most remote corner. No matter how protruding his mouth was, he couldn't spit food on others. Already...

After 93 days, he finally had a good harvest, and his villain value once reached more than 6, half of which was provided by Teacher Becky, thanks to her.

The most important thing is that the shadow talent has been upgraded from intermediate to advanced over time. However, it seems that due to the limited innate energy, it only increased by four points this time, and became ten points per minute.

What is it like to have a high-level shadow talent?
Maybe his brother doesn't feel it clearly yet, but he can feel that the shadow magic power around him seems to be under his control, just like the stars over the moon. He is the center of this mini universe, without any shadow magic power. can escape from his will.

If the mage just gathers these mana without controlling it, just like an adult hitting a minor and deliberately letting go, then he, who is not as talented as Duomi, will lose control of these energies in an instant, as long as Duomi is willing.

This is the level suppression brought about by talent.

In actual combat, if two mages of the same level and with the same talent attributes fight, the one with the higher talent will be able to control the free mana particles in the battlefield, and he can rely on them to slowly replenish his power, while the opponent cannot. Among them, the person with higher talent will definitely win. This is almost everyone's consensus.

It is for this reason that people in this world value talent so much.
