Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Homebody (Thanks to Moonlight Luna for the reward)

Such an idea was just a passing thought.

It was too dangerous. [Great Wall] had numerous tricks up their sleeve, and Li Changhe couldn’t afford to show off.

Upon safely returning to his rented room, Li Changhe immediately closed the curtains.

And took off the hairpin hidden beneath his bangs.

As he removed it, Yun Ting’s figure appeared. It seemed that having Li Changhe wear the hairpin allowed her to remain invisible.

Yun Ting sized up the somewhat shabby room and remarked, "This place isn’t very nice. It’s not even as good as the ones from my time."

"Thank you for the compliment. This place is fifty years old. It’s a bit older than you," Li Changhe joked.

Yun Ting glanced at Li Changhe suspiciously, somehow always feeling that the young man kept making fun of her.

Seeing that Li Changhe was busy with his old computer, purchasing things on an online shopping platform, Yun Ting started wandering around the room.

It had to be said that during the twenty years she was trapped in Room 303, Yun Ting’s life consisted of looking at the scenery and thoughts of revenge. This was her first time seeing the outside world. In fact, on the way back, Yun Ting had been boggled about the world appearing inside Li Changhe’s mind.

So, Brother Ting, times have changed.

"What’s this?" Yun Ting held Li Changhe’s phone and unskillfully tapped on an icon leading to a small, broken website.

If Li Changhe had seen this, he would have definitely stopped her and warned her, "Hey, there’s a hell ahead."

Unfortunately, Li Changhe was busy at the moment...

Three hours later, Li Changhe successfully purchased items that could potentially be needed for [Tasks] within a minimal budget: two hundred arrows, various wilderness survival knives, medicine to prevent infection, bulletproof vests, assault clothing... They were scattered and consumed all of his remaining savings.

To not get caught by people with ulterior motives, these items were all purchased using different accounts.

After finishing all those things, Li Changhe breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what kind of [Task], as long as he was well prepared, the difficulty would decrease. Now that he had some means of attack, even if there were any accidents, he could use [Breath of Thunder] to retreat. Li Changhe even imagined himself fleeing and surviving in the wilderness afterward.

Just like the [Abandoned School Ghost Shadow] Old School District [Task] this time, the preparation time was too short.

Otherwise, Li Changhe could have avoided a head-on confrontation with a Lv7 [Player] like [Unseen Red Dust].

"However, now that I’ve familiarized myself with the skills and purchased the necessary equipment, the next task won’t be as dangerous." Li Changhe took out the [Chang’an City Gate Lang Command Token] and hesitated.

The [Chang’an Plague] was a [Plot Task], so the rewards wouldn’t be low. Plus, [Plot Tasks] had another advantage—participants could keep any items they found during the task.

Some people mentioned in the [forum] that they had managed to carry away an entire gun store’s worth of firearms and ammunition from the [Biohazard] scenario. It was unknown whether they had smuggled the [T-Virus] as well.

Li Changhe thought that he could try to collect some equipment or even gold, silver and jewelry during the [Chang’an Plague]. If he went to a good era and met a great poet like Li Bai, bringing back a few pieces of his writing would be a fantastic deal.

However, he had to make a decision if other [Tasks] appeared before then.

As he was pondering, Li Changhe suddenly felt something silky entwined around his body.

’Damn!’ Startled, Li Changhe turned around and saw a ridiculous scene.

Yun Ting was lying ungracefully on the sofa, with Li Changhe’s phone in her hand.

"I’m going to take her away today, and I dare anyone to stop me!"

"We are willing to travel thousands of miles together. Will you accompany me?"

"Old Heavenly Master is so handsome!"

"Death God is embarrassing us!"

♪(´ε｀)

Making indecipherable noises, her hair was probably infected by her emotions, causing the entire room to be entangled in a mess.

Li Changhe wondered how the ghost, who was initially so majestic and terrifying, had turned into this. It only took her a few hours to become a homebody.

Seeing more and more hair getting tangled, Li Changhe struggled to make a sound from the hair pile: "Are you a forbidden wife? Release me now!"

"Forbidden wife? Which story is that from?" Yun Ting turned her head upon hearing this. Seeing Li Changhe entangled like a twist, with the room also in chaos, she finally reacted and withdrew her hair.

"Ahem, this is pretty interesting." Yun Ting pretended as if nothing had happened, her face not blushing, and her heart not skipping a beat... well, she probably didn’t have a heartbeat to begin with.

Li Changhe sighed inwardly, but it was fine. If she wanted to be a homebody, so be it. At least she had something to kill time with. The appeal of the 2D world was indeed powerful, even female ghosts couldn’t escape it.

The online purchases would probably arrive tomorrow or the day after. In the meantime, he would visit the [forum] to see if any useful information could be gleaned.

Only after setting ground rules with Yun Ting did he teach her how to turn on the TV and use the phone.

Otherwise, Li Changhe was worried that his home would be gone once he returns from the [forum].

Yun Ting waved her hand and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll guard the house. You can concentrate on your research."

Li Changhe thought to himself, it’s precisely because you’re guarding the house that I am not at ease. Your style has changed after just watching for three hours!

[Uncle Eight-direction entered the forum]

First, there are the fixed consumption skills, such as Li Changhe’s [Breath of Thunder] and [Eagle’s Demon Eye], which are fixed consumption skills. These are usually amplification-type effects. However, when they are upgraded to the extreme, their consumption will be in percentages. Of course, the skill’s effectiveness will be more significant.

Secondly, there are percentage consumption skills, like [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard]. Their power increases based on the [Player]’s other attributes. While the consumption is significant, they are very practical and usually saved as a trump card.

In fact, Li Changhe was lucky to obtain this skill. To learn this skill, one needs 9 points in Physique, 8 points in strength, and a character trait of Chaos·Evil.

At the time of the lottery, with [Immaculate Breathing Skill] and Physique [Trait: Copper Skin and Iron Bones], Li Changhe just met those requirements. As for Chaos Evil... Li Changhe never understood how he had become evil, but now he is Chaos Good.

The explanations on the [forum] were not comprehensive.

...In any case, Li Changhe was quite lucky.

How else could a normal Lv2 [Player] learn such a [Skill]?

Furthermore, the martial arts move [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard] also has other benefits. Knowing that [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard] originated from Octopole Fist, Li Changhe naturally mastered the Octopole Fist upon learning the move.

In the character attribute panel, there are [Skills]: [Octopole Fist: C] [Riding: A]... These should be the abilities that Li Changhe has mastered, and the [Evolution Game] made a representation of them.

After Li Changhe mastered [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard], he also gained [Octopole Fist: C]. Only having C probably meant that he wasn’t very skilled yet.

As for Riding A...well, Li Changhe never allowed his opponents to see his bike’s taillights.

Next up were the attributes. According to the survey, the four basic attributes can be self-trained to increase before reaching 8 points. It becomes increasingly difficult to increase after that.

Li Changhe anticipated this, as his initial attributes were 7 points, except for [Energy]. It probably had to do with his usual training exercises, and the following remarks confirmed this as well.

If world-class athletes became [Players], their strength and agility might have 8 points, or even 9 points.

Earlier, when the [Earth Knight] had a full 8 points in attributes, it must have been the result of training.

"In other words, my current energy level is 5+2. There’s still room for improvement," Li Changhe muttered to himself. "If I can raise my energy to 7 points, coupled with Brother Ting’s 2-point blessing, I would have an energy attribute of 7+2. With one more point, I would activate the [Energy Trait]."

Just as Li Changhe was determining his training direction, Yun Ting suddenly looked up, "There’s a [Player] nearby!"
