Although the octopus caused some allergies, these were minor incidents, and the small bumps on its body gradually faded away after a few hours.
Gu Xi had originally intended to scoop up the red-spotted fish, but when she pulled one up to examine it, she discovered that the fish had indeed been smashed to pieces by the octopus, leaving only a skeleton. Disdainfully, she threw the fish skeleton back into the sea and then resumed cultivating her mental power.
Gu Xi leaned lazily against the three-tiered pergola, the sea breeze gently caressing her, carrying the unique saltiness and moisture of the ocean, mixed with the fragrance of spiritual flowers, all of which flowed into her sensory world in a delicate way.
At that moment, her soul seemed to merge with the vast ocean.
Countless streams of spiritual energy, like trickling streams, flowed into her spiritual sea. These streams converged into a river, colliding with the spiritual sea deep within her mind, stirring up a surging power.
Her five senses became more acute, and the once blurry boundaries of perception became exceptionally clear.
Her mind became sharper, each thought flashing through her mind like lightning, leaving a clear trace.
The familiar sensation of her mental power being upgraded washed over her, and she suppressed her excitement, withdrawing her mental power.
E-level mental power, without external interference, can detect a range of approximately 10 meters. D-level mental power can increase this range to 50 meters. C-level mental power can directly increase the detection range to 200 meters.
Now, Gu Xi doesn't need to consciously measure it to understand that the range of his spiritual power's detection is no longer comparable to what it used to be. This spiritual power, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, soars into a wider world and touches farther boundaries.
Slowly, she opened her eyes. At this moment, she was fully alert and could clearly perceive the movements of her surroundings even without the aid of her mental energy.
In her view, octopuses were frolicking with pheasants in the breeding shed. The wild ducks, oblivious, remained asleep. A gentle sea breeze stirred the leaves and flowers in the planting boxes. They swayed softly, dancing with the wind.
Gu Xi's lips curved slightly upward, the boost to her mental strength bringing her immense pleasure.
"Coo coo~"
Just as Gu Xi was immersed in the joy and tranquility after her breakthrough in spiritual power, suddenly, her stomach started rumbling.
Because she needed to concentrate on her breakthrough, she didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten. So she randomly grabbed some food that could quickly fill her stomach, chewed it, and checked her bracelet to see the current time.
The moment she saw the time, she choked violently and coughed uncontrollably.
After her coughing stopped, she quickly put down the food in her hand and checked the time again.
The time displayed on the wristband is 5 PM on the 43rd of the maritime calendar.
After confirming she wasn't mistaken, a wave of doubt arose. Had her breakthrough training really lasted this long?! And even if it really had reached day 43, why had she still heard any news about the end of the Eternal Night?
Previous disasters usually ended in about 10 days. Even if the 43rd day doesn't mean the disaster is over, there should at least be a warning that it's over. But why is there no sign of it this time?
She hurriedly opened the chat channel to check the messages.
District 2333, Regional Chat Group (95241/100000):
"The Eternal Night started on the 34th, and today is the 10th day. Why didn't the game announce that it would end?"
"What kind of stupid rule is this? I thought I had found a pattern, but now I'm being told that I was just deluding myself!"
"Stop complaining, everyone's the same."
"What should I do? What should I do now? I thought this disaster would end in 10 days and that I had enough food stored up, but now the eternal night continues and I don't have enough food."
"Buy food! Buy seafood too."
"Collect the food!"
"Buy food! Those with food, hurry up and get it out!"
"Survivor Alliance, if I join now, is there still food to buy?"
