Ten minutes later, the street was left with only a tattered, dissipating giant snake and Mo Shuying, whose body glowed green as his HP rapidly recovered.
"Just a little more to reach level 13. This huge snake only gave 120 experience points, it's unbelievable."
With that, Mo Shuying kicked the snake's corpse. The barrel-thick serpent body was sent flying, revealing a purple orb.
"Oh? A drop!"
Mo Shuying immediately picked up the orb. Although he had killed many monsters during this time, he hadn't gotten many good items. Most were small tools. The only skill he had obtained was Bedrock Armor. Its effect was that if he took no damage, an invisible Bedrock Armor would continuously stack, with a maximum defense of 3000 HP. As long as the Bedrock Armor wasn't completely broken, his own defense would increase by 30%.
The Swift Wolf Bracelet was a summoning bracelet. By infusing it with magic, he could summon two swift wolves. These were fast wolf beasts, with a maximum summon limit of two, but if one wolf beast died, he could immediately summon another.
Two days ago, Mo Shuying had his two swift wolves tie four Gas Canisters to themselves and charge at a powerful stone monster. The result was another grand fireworks display, and it dropped the Bedrock Armor skill.
Speaking of which, due to Mo Shuying's "explosion art," this Singularity space was already somewhat unrecognizable.
Numerous explosions over the past few days had left many streets in the city destroyed and high-rise buildings collapsed, as if it had been ravaged by a terrorist attack.
Mo Shuying felt no remorse, instead escalating his actions. His storage space now held over twenty Gas Canisters and more than thirty Molotov Cocktails, making him a walking arsenal.
"This orb… seems quite good."
[Serpent Eye Orb C
Infuse with magic to cast a slow light, reducing the target's mobility.]
The orb was only the size of a ping-pong ball. Mo Shuying casually put it into his storage space, making it easy to retrieve when needed.
Just as the purple-scaled giant snake completely vanished.
"Ding~ Daily Quest One completed. Gained 300 experience points. Strength slightly increased."
"Ding~ Experience meets upgrade requirements. Level increased."
In the blink of an eye, Mo Shuying was level 13, and his attributes had increased again.
Mo Shuying checked the time.
It was almost midnight, and a new wave of sign-ins was beckoning Mo Shuying. He now needed to find a quiet place to shower and change, then wait to sign in. That way, he might get something good.
Speaking of the past few days' sign-ins, they had given him a skill called [Battlefield Valor], another very familiar skill, precisely that man's passive.
[Battlefield Valor C]
Increases attack power when attacking with fists. After losing HP, gain corresponding HP recovery. If the host's left fist strikes first, the right fist's speed will be 8 times that of the left.
A passive, a pair of iron fists, skull-shattering power, intentional fist blasts.
That man had never disappointed Mo Shuying.
But…
He was an Assassin! An assassin! He was an assassin!
Looking at the increasingly bulging muscles on his arms, Mo Shuying felt like his evolution path had gone astray.
"Ding~ Detected no sign-in today. Sign in?"
Unconsciously, midnight had passed again, and the System's prompt arrived as scheduled. Mo Shuying sat atop a tall building, enjoying the evening breeze.
This was one of the few remaining tall buildings in the area. Mo Shuying took a deep breath, a fleeting thought of gods and buddhas protecting him flashing through his mind, and then.
"Sign in."
"Ding~ Host successfully signed in. Obtained skill [Elegant Serpent Walk C]"
"Hm? What's this?"
Mo Shuying frowned. The skill name seemed somewhat familiar. He couldn't help but open the panel to check, and immediately understood whose skill it was.
[Elegant Serpent Walk C]
Increases self movement speed, scales with level.
PS: Cannot wear shoes after acquiring this skill, otherwise the effect will not manifest.
Mo Shuying: "…Isn't this the Gorgon's skill? Seriously, good thing it didn't turn me into a half-human, half-snake."
Not wearing shoes was acceptable enough. Mo Shuying's physical strength was already very high; even without shoes, he wouldn't be punctured by sharp objects on the ground. Besides, he had Bedrock Armor for all-around defense. Normally, he just needed to be careful not to step on chewing gum or certain… things.
So Mo Shuying kicked off his sneakers. And indeed, the moment the two sneakers flew off, Mo Shuying felt his body lighten, and he became much more agile and swift.
This was just the speed boost at level 13. If his level increased further, the speed gain would surely be astonishing. A smile appeared at the corner of Mo Shuying's mouth. He finally had a skill that was somewhat related to an assassin. It wasn't easy.
As he mused, another vortex appeared in the distance. Mo Shuying slowly stood up. Listening to the daily quest being issued in his ear, Mo Shuying spread his arms and leaped. He flashed and disappeared in mid-air, already having Flash-ed to the ground.
"One, two, three, four, five, six… Six of them. Hmph, just a warm-up. Come on! Let's hunt to our heart's content tonight!"
As he spoke, Mo Shuying activated Presence Concealment. With a step, he moved like a ghost, rapidly striking. The hunting hour had begun.
Soon, another two days passed.
During these two days, Mo Shuying continued his routine of training, running, and fighting monsters.
In two days, Mo Shuying gained two more levels, reaching level 15. As his level increased, the experience needed for subsequent levels grew, and Mo Shuying already felt the difficulty of leveling up.
He was only level 15! What would happen when he reached even higher levels?
As he worried, Mo Shuying felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly.
"Huh? An earthquake? Can alternate dimensions have earthquakes too?"
Mo Shuying wasn't surprised by an earthquake; after all, he was in an island nation where earthquakes were quite common. But for the alternate dimension he was in to also be shaking, that was a bit off.
"Buzz~"
And the tremors continued, growing more frequent and more intense.
Mo Shuying felt something was wrong; something must have gone awry.
Just as he was thinking this.
"BOOM!!"
The barrier near Fuyuki Bridge was suddenly blown apart! A blue energy cannon shot through, hitting a tall building and blasting a huge hole straight through it.
"What?! Where did that attack come from?"
Mo Shuying wasn't far from the Fuyuki Bridge entrance. As soon as he noticed the anomaly, he rushed over, and when he arrived:
"BOOM!"
Another red magic cannon blasted through the barrier and struck the ground, carving a trench and filling the air with smoke.
At this moment, from the broken part of the barrier, a cacophony of voices erupted.
"Go, Miyu!! Don't hold back!"
"We can't lose to Illya either! Fire, fire!"
Following these two highly charged voices, a series of explosions immediately followed.
Mo Shuying hesitated for a moment, looking at the unhealed breach in the barrier, then.
"Presence Concealment!"
