Chapter 4: I said I was just testing the waters, would you believe me?
Although this greatsword is in its beginner form, with an added 20 points of strength, it appears heavy and full of power.
Su Ming waved his hand lightly, and a terrifying explosion rang out in the air.
"Holy crap, this sense of strength... it's completely different from how I felt carrying gas cylinders when I moved house in my past life!"
Su Ming exclaimed excitedly.
He then planned to test the power of [100 points of mental strength].
Su Ming closed his eyes, mobilized the abundant magic power within his body, and released a gentle burst of magic power into the air in front of him, based on the "Elementary Magic Guidance Technique" that appeared in his mind.
He originally only wanted to release a harmless ball of magic energy, about the size of a thumb, to test the efficiency of guiding mental energy.
however--
Due to his terrifying base of 100 points in mental strength and his extremely high magic conversion rate of 20 points in intelligence, the gentle magic released by Su Ming experienced a geometric explosion in an instant!
What should have been a faint cluster of magic, like a firefly, transformed into a concentrated, purplish-black magic ball with a diameter of one meter!
This ball of magic, carrying terrifying energy fluctuations, roared towards the wall in front of Su Ming!
Su Ming's pupils shrank in fright. He didn't even have time to react. He just stared blankly as the ball of magic crashed into the load-bearing wall of his bedroom!
Rumble—!!!
A deafening roar shook the entire Cloud Top Manor!
That load-bearing wall was blasted open by this gentle ball of magic, creating a hole two meters in diameter!
Gravel, dust, and steel bars collapsed with a crash.
Su Ming's vision suddenly cleared – he could now see the multi-million dollar magic crystal tree in the garden outside through the large hole created by this "performance art"!
Su Ming: "∑(O_O；) Holy crap!"
He stared at his empty hands, then at the enormous hole in front of him that led straight to the outside, and froze.
Su Ming: System! This is "Elementary Magic Guidance Technique"? You're telling me this is elementary? This is practically a pinpoint explosion!
What happened to the gentle approach? What happened to the relaxed posture? I just wanted to set off a little firework!
System: Attention, host. Your mental strength is too high; any skill you possess will be amplified exponentially.
Congratulations, host! You have mastered the basics of 'Skill Power Overflow', a required course for an all-around free-roaming character.
Su Ming wanted to cry but had no tears.
This isn't a required course; it's "luxury home renovation costs"!
If this wall is destroyed, his dad's "wall defense barrier" will be worth at least several hundred million!
I just wanted to test it out, and I ended up blowing up my own bedroom!
Well, that's great, I don't have to wait until tomorrow, I'm going to die tonight!
Just then, the door was kicked open with a loud bang!
Sister Su Qing, father Su Zhiguo, mother Lin Yue, and more than a dozen heavily armed family guards all rushed in!
They anxiously checked Su Ming and breathed a sigh of relief when they found him unharmed.
Su Qing stared in disbelief at the huge hole in the bedroom wall, then revealed an expression that was both shocked and excited.
"Mingming... what... what happened?" Su Qing pointed at the hole, her voice trembling.
Su Ming stood amidst a pile of rubble, awkwardly scratching his head.
The only option was to grit one's teeth and continue at Versailles.
"Dad, Mom, Sister, don't be nervous... I... I was just trying to comprehend the fundamental laws of the free-spirited profession." Su Ming forced himself to remain calm.
Su Zhiguo also saw the hole, and his expression gradually changed from shock to ecstasy!
"The fundamental laws?! My God!"
Su Zhiguo rushed forward excitedly and carefully examined the blasted-open fracture. He saw that a pure yet terrifying energy fluctuation remained at the fracture.
"Lin Yue! Look! This energy fluctuation! Son! You've...broken through!"
Su Zhiguo was as excited as a child.
Lin Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, then gave Su Ming a reproachful look:
"Oh my little darling! You're breaking through, fine, but why did you have to blow up the wall?!"
Su Ming was about to apologize when Su Zhiguo interrupted him, his tone filled with pride:
"It's good that it's blown up! That's earth-shattering! What's this wall compared to that? Your breakthrough is the greatest blessing for our family! Guards!"
Su Zhiguo roared:
"Protect this wall completely! From now on, this will be the Su family's Wall of Honor! Find the best craftsmen overnight and rebuild it using seventh-tier magic crystals!"
Su Ming: "..."
Then the load-bearing wall in Su Ming's bedroom was repaired overnight.
Of course, according to Su Zhiguo's nouveau riche logic of only choosing the expensive and not the right one.
This wall is no longer ordinary reinforced concrete, but is mixed with obsidian powder that can withstand the bombardment of fifth-order magic.
For aesthetic reasons, Su's mother, Lin Yue, even specially invited a famous carving master to carve a picture of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix on the wall.
Su Ming looked at the wall, the cost of which was equivalent to an apartment in the city center.
One can only sigh that the lives of the wealthy are often so simple, unpretentious, and boring.
........
The tranquility of the Su family's Cloud Top Manor was broken by a low engine sound the next morning.
It wasn't just one vehicle, but an entire convoy of heavy transport vehicles.
The convoy drove into the manor in a grand procession, with the logo of the Shanghai Professionals' Supplies Exchange printed on the carriages of each vehicle.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the Su family was preparing to launch a small-scale war.
Old butler Zhang Bo stood at the door, holding a long list in his hand.
As an old man who had served the Su family for thirty years, he had seen Su Zhiguo buy mines, islands, and even a castle belonging to a royal family of a certain country.
But he had never seen the pile of things he was supposed to sign for today.
Su Ming, dressed in silk pajamas and holding a cup of warm spiritual milk, yawned as he walked to the door.
When Uncle Zhang saw Su Ming, he quickly came forward and, with a complicated tone, pointed to the convoy behind him and said:
"Young master, everything you requested has arrived."
"But... are these things really not sent to the wrong address?"
Su Ming took a sip of milk and casually glanced at it.
"That's right, I asked Dad to buy them all yesterday."
Uncle Zhang opened the door of the first car with trembling hands.
Splash!
Hundreds and thousands of the most common basic skills books on the market filled the train carriage.
Basic Fireball, Basic Water Bullet, Introductory Parry, Savage Charge, Basic Healing, Trap Setting, Basic Stealth...
Uncle Zhang casually picked up a copy of "Basic Tree Planting Guide," his mouth twitching wildly:
"Young Master, you're the son of the richest man! Your mental strength is the best in the entire school!"
"If you're lacking skill books, the master's storeroom is full of high-level forbidden spells, and even the ultimate techniques of top-tier professionals."
"What are you buying these... these skill books for? Even the life skills like tree planting and cooking?"
This is like a billionaire driving a limited-edition sports car suddenly running to a roadside stall and buying up all the two-dollar plastic rings, claiming he wants to collect them.
Su Ming put down his cup, walked to the front of the carriage, picked up the book "Basic Fireball Technique," his eyes deep and his tone becoming inscrutable:
