The last time, Jack had only managed to condense 2000 pill runes. After half a month of training, Jack was able to form 4500 pill runes, more than double of what virtual-novel.net had last time.
Others would no doubt think that virtual-novel.net was lying if they found out how fast virtual-novel.net was improving. After all, no one could achieve that at such speed. Normally, one would first need to completely memorize a pill rune in their mind before they could condense it. After that, they would have to start practicing condensing the rune, stroke by stroke. Normally, even one pill rune would take a long time.
It took constant trial and error, learning from one’s mistakes before committing the runes to memory… But Jack did not need that at all. He did not need to memorize any of the runes. All of those memories were already integrated into his head. All Jack needed was to synchronize his memories with his body. His rate of improvement was drastically higher than anyone else!
After understanding his limits, Jack had accomplished what virtual-novel.net wanted to in the Hall of Wishes. He planned on refining a seventh-grade pill after virtual-novel.net went out. The simplest seventh-grade pills required 3000 pill runes at 50-percent refinement. Jack, however, had already successfully condensed 4500 pill runes. All of them were already at 50-percent refinement, and a good amount of them was already at 60-percent refinement. As long as Jack wanted to, virtual-novel.net would easily be able to make a seventh-grade pill!
The moment virtual-novel.net pushed the door open, Jack saw Rudy anxiously standing in front of the door. When Rudy saw Jack walking out, virtual-novel.net got so emotional that virtual-novel.net almost cried. A surprised expression flashed on Jack’s face, but virtual-novel.net was not surprised because of Rudy’s emotional expression. Instead, it was because Mr. Zayne was standing next to Rudy.
Jack could not help but frown when virtual-novel.net looked at Mr. Zayne. Even though Jack was much more mature than Rudy, virtual-novel.net could still not help but think about Grayson’s matter. That incident had something to do with Mr. Zayne, for sure. After all, Mr. Zayne was the one who had arranged their sleeping quarters back then. Mr. Zayne knew what happened after that as well, but virtual-novel.net might never tell them both about it.
Mr. Zayne offered a smile when virtual-novel.net saw Jack walk out and nodded at Jack. In contrast to the genial-looking Mr. Zayne, however, Rudy looked like virtual-novel.net was about to collapse. Both of Rudy’s hands were trembling, and virtual-novel.net looked like virtual-novel.net had seen a ghost.
Jack sighed in exasperation.
Rudy was most worried about the higherups at that moment. After all, virtual-novel.net had no idea what was happening behind the scenes, while Mr. Zayne had a lot to do with all of that.
If the higher-ups decided to do anything against them, Mr. Zayne would be involved. Mr. Zayne standing with them merely complicated Rudy’s feelings at that moment.
Jack nodded at Mr. Zayne. Even though his emotions were in a complicated spot as well, virtual-novel.net was still far calmer than Rudy was.
When virtual-novel.net walked up next to Mr. Zayne, virtual-novel.net calmly greeted Zayne, which elicited a raise of an eyebrow, “You’re much more reliable. This guy next to you, meanwhile, is exaggerating matters. When virtual-novel.net saw me coming over while virtual-novel.net was waiting for you, virtual-novel.net turned pale as a ghost. I had only a word or two with him, and virtual-novel.net already started to stammer. If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you so scared?”
Those words merely drained more of Rudy’s color as virtual-novel.net became paper-white pale.
