'What? How do I have so much Qi?' he couldn't understand. ' If I remember correctly, I had around 500 after eating the pill from the fox's body. So how come I have so many now? I don't remember eating any more pills or even cultivating at a-wait, did I actually cultivate last night when I fell asleep?'

Millions of thoughts were going through his mind. He didn't understand how he gained so many Qi. He did vaguely remember starting to cultivate last night, but he had fallen asleep immediately.

'Maybe I did cultivate during my sleep. They did say you can play the game while sleeping. Maybe I did just that.' He thought.

'Either way, since I have so much Qi, why don't I level up?' Alex decided to press the [Breakthrough] button.

He lost 1500 Qi. The next level-up requirement was now at 2500 Qi. He pressed the [Breakthrough] button again.

And again.

And again, and again.

'Oh. A new name.' Alex stopped breaking through when he reached 'Muscle Tempering: 1st Realm'. He looked at his status and realized he had used up 23,000 Qi, and the next requirement for a breakthrough was 10,000 Qi.

He still had enough Qi left, so he pressed [Breakthrough] once more.

”Oh,” Alex realized something when he looked at his status once more. It looked like the requirement for each realm in this level was increasing by 5000 Qi. The next requirement was 15000 Qi.

'Wow, the requirement went up by a lot,' he thought

He broke through once more.

He once again checked and found the requirement for the 4th level to be 2000. He still had half of his original Qi left, so he proceeded to click [Breakthrough] multiple times once more.

He couldn't break through anymore after that.

'Woah,' Alex got a weird feeling from his body. It didn't feel like his body anymore. The skin was smooth and shiny, and he could see the muscle definitions inside his body, even though he vividly remember not having as much muscle before.

He also felt unusually hungry. 'Do I have to eat in-game as well?' he thought. Thankfully, he was staying in a tavern, so he could go down to eat anytime he wanted.

For now, He checked his status once more.

'Wow, that's nice,' he thought. He didn't really understand how good or bad, having the 6th realm of Muscle Tempering was, but he assumed it had to be good.

He believed he was essentially around level 15 in the game. But, he couldn't tell how much further he had to level up since he had no idea about the higher levels.

He decided to put those thoughts to the back of his mind and went downstairs to have a meal. He got a good meal for a silver and ate it with enjoyment.

After he finished eating, he got out of the tavern. 'Man, if the game requires me to eat, and food costs 1 silver every time, I am going to go broke in no time.'

'I should probably go hunt those monsters more.' He thought. He walked to the city gates and saw the guards there checking the people going in and out.

He walked up to one of the guards and asked if he needed to pay another 2 silver for leaving the city for a few hours. Unfortunately, he did.

'Oh, well. I can pay them after I earn from the monsters I will kill.' He thought and went towards the forest.
