As dusk settled like thick ink, Yu Xiangnan dragged his weary body back to the villa.
As soon as she stepped inside, a piercing pain struck her without warning, and her waist twisted violently.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." She instinctively clutched her waist and gasped.
Logically speaking, as personal attribute values continue to rise, physical fitness should also improve accordingly. Running five laps of 800 meters should be a piece of cake, without even breaking a sweat, and climbing thirty flights of stairs should be no problem either.
But why has this long-lost back pain suddenly returned?
Yu Xiangnan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This survival instance only lasted twenty days, yet I didn't have a single day of peace. I was poorly fed and thirsty, scrimping and saving every day, and forced to inhale large amounts of sand and dust.
Finally, the "rest period" has arrived, but there is not even a moment to catch one's breath. Being busy from morning to night is dizzying. No one can withstand this.
With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Yu Xiangnan's steps never faltered, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing at the door of his bedroom.
After a quick wash, she couldn't wait to collapse onto the bed.
As long as the bed is there, and the person is there, love will come.
Sigh... Every time I enter a survival instance, my living conditions plummet, and the food and sleep become extremely poor. Now, seeing this ordinary, normal bed, I can't help but tear up.
Yu Xiangnan lay on the bed and took out the [Profession Skill Upgrade Card] from her inventory. She decided to upgrade one of the skills of the [Grim Reaper] profession first, so that she wouldn't be caught off guard by an emergency and not have time to use the upgrade card.

(★) [Death God]
Basic Skill: "Death Mark" (Marks an enemy, increasing their damage taken by 20% for 30 minutes and stealing 25% of their lost health. Duration: 30 minutes, Cooldown: 24 hours, Energy Cost: 200)
Skill 1: "Summon" (Summons a ghost of random quality from the underworld. The quality depends on the player's luck. After a successful summon, the ghost will follow the player's command to attack nearby enemies. Effective time: 10 days, cooldown time: 3 days, energy cost: 5000)
Skill 2: "Wrath of Death" (Summons a scythe to unleash an area-of-effect slash, dealing massive damage to surrounding enemies. If the enemy is marked with "Death Mark," the damage is doubled, and there is a 30% chance to instantly kill enemies with less than 30% health. Cooldown: 24 hours, Energy cost: 2000)
Skill 3: Unlocked when the class reaches two stars (the class automatically gains one star when the player reaches level 80).
Skill 4: Unlocked when the profession reaches three stars (the profession automatically gains one star when the player reaches level 90).

In addition to Skill 1 and Skill 2, the basic skill "Death Mark" can also be upgraded using [Class Skill Upgrade Card].
After careful consideration, Yu Xiangnan chose to upgrade skill one.
bite--
[The "Professional Skills Upgrade Card" has been successfully used.]
Skill 1: "Summon" (Summons a ghost of random quality from the underworld. The quality depends on the player's luck. After a successful summon, the ghost will follow the player's command to attack nearby enemies. Effective time: 15 days, cooldown time: 2 days, energy cost: 3000)
Although the number of summonable ghosts remains the same, the effective duration and cooldown time have changed significantly, energy consumption has been reduced significantly, and endurance has been greatly increased.
She then took out the Soul Collector and upgraded Yu You's Soul.
Yu You is currently a top-tier I Netherworld Ghost. To upgrade to top-tier II, you'll need to spend 500 Spirit Points.
Fortunately, there's no shortage of corpses in the survival dungeon. You can collect them, dig holes, and bury them—a one-stop service that quickly earns you spirit points.
Feeling his strength increase, Yu You laughed loudly in excitement. Flames blazed around the skull, shining like a high-powered light bulb. He shouted, "I knew I hadn't followed the wrong person! Power! This is even more power!"
Yu Xiangnan's eardrums ached from its high-decibel barking, and he rubbed his ears helplessly.
She then checked the servers that were currently accessible, intending to go to Lanize, but found that Lanize was still inaccessible by teleportation.
The system notification indicates that the Ranize Holy Land appears to be blocked for some unknown reason. This means that not only players from other planets cannot go there, but even players native to Ranize are prohibited from entering the Holy Land.
This is really strange.
Yu Xiangnan frowned, his mind filled with doubt.
Since successfully reaching the holy site of Ranize last time and learning some things from Nia, I have wanted to go there again, but I have never had the opportunity.
Could something earth-shattering have happened at the Holy Land?
When you encounter Bura in the next survival instance, be sure to ask him for information. As a player from Lanize, Bura must know something about his planet, and you might be able to get crucial clues from him to unravel the mystery of why the Lanize Holy Land is sealed.
After resolving these miscellaneous matters, Yu Xiangnan finally went to sleep.
Tomorrow, we should officially begin Ji Fu's "plan".
......
【Blue Moon】(Blue Star/Crescent Star), the second day of the "rest period".
Public Map: [Library]
Yu Xiangnan hadn't been to a public map library for a long time.
Thinking back to the last time I came here, it was to complete a main or side quest, but unfortunately, no new main or side quests appeared during these two breaks. The librarian in the bear costume from back then is nowhere to be found.
The library was deserted, but thankfully, it hadn't changed much overall.
The hall is spacious and bright, with walls made of dark stone and bookshelves neatly arranged, densely filled with all kinds of books.
Besides bookshelves, the first floor of the library also has a small, quiet reading area and private rooms. The layout of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor, while the third floor is divided into several functional areas, such as an academic lecture hall, a multimedia reading room, and a coffee lounge.
In the current situation, such a quiet place is a good way to avoid other players.
Ji Fu had specifically booked a private room, intending to have their conversation there. As for why they didn't choose one of their private areas, but instead opted for this public area, frankly, the private room was just for putting on a show.
Who is this performance for...? The answer is self-evident.
Just yesterday, Ji Fu mentioned that Ying Xiao used to hate cilantro so much that she couldn't stand the smell, let alone eat it. But a few days ago, the restaurant introduced a new dish with cilantro, and she ate it all without saying a word.
Therefore, the first step of the plan is to test the waters again, but it must be done discreetly, starting with these daily habits and subtly probing.
So yesterday, Ji Fu deliberately found a bag of strange-smelling snacks that smelled of cilantro and casually asked Ying Xiao, "Want to try some?"
To his surprise, Ying Xiao not only agreed, but also only frowned slightly after finishing the meal.
