After each of them touched the statue of the Goddess of Fortune, Wang Zhifan, Chu Wei, and Ah Liao turned around and continued to clear the remaining areas of this Gray Realm cave.
Before leaving the statue, Ah Liao made a point to touch it a few more tis until he found that the statue had no further reaction to his touch. Only then did he have to give up and turn around to get to work.
In the subsequent ti, the three of them didn’t encounter anything unusual. The cleanup process was quite smooth, taking roughly ten minutes to clear the remaining monsters in the Gray Realm cave, after which they hurriedly left the area from where they ca and returned to the small woods.
As the collapse of this Gray Realm approached, Wang Zhifan and the others basically completed their job as Gray Realm cleaners for the day. They took the specially assigned vehicle from the bureau back to Dongjiang City and returned to the Dongjiang Second Bureau Building. Afterward, Chu Wei went to fill out the cleanup work report, and Wang Zhifan waited for a while before receiving a bank notification text on his paynt for the day.
"Today I earned a total of over seven hundred bucks. Considering the ti and effort I put into it, the earnings are so-so... but if I include the benefits I gained from the statue, today’s inco is enormously high."
As Wang Zhifan stood with Ah Liao outside the Dongjiang Second Bureau Building, waiting for Chu Wei to co out to eat, he couldn’t help but summon his personal panel with his mind and admire it once again. It was again because he had already looked at his panel several tis since finishing the second Gray Realm, but now his heart still felt a bit excited.
[Na: Wang Zhifan.]
[Status: Normal.]
[Level: Lv2.]
[Experience: 96/100.]
[Occupation: Bladebearer.]
[Constitution: 29.]
[Strength: 31.]
[Agility: 28.]
[Spirit: 27.]
[Skill: Basic Blade Mastery Lv3.]
[Equipped: Iron Mountain Belt (Rare), Chapter of Obscurity (Rare).]
[Inventory: Wolf-Slaying Blade (Rare), Wolf Leather Armor (Excellent), Frenzy Bracelet (Excellent), Fury Gloves (Excellent), Ape King’s Fury (Rare), Unyielding Ring (Excellent), Pistol (Excellent), Bear Race Mage Headband (Rare), Ape King’s Sorrow (Rare), Ape King’s Hatred (Rare).]
As shown on the panel, all of Wang Zhifan’s current attribute values had significantly increased compared to before. More precisely, all attribute values increased by a full 11 points!
This incredible improvent effect was what he chose after touching the statue of the Goddess of Fortune in the Gray Realm cave. He picked one option among almost a hundred choices, the probability of triggering being only 0.001%: Your all attributes permanently increase by 11 points.
"Maybe there were other options among those hundred choices that might suit better, but getting such a huge boost unexpectedly, I’ve already gained a lot."
Recalling the situation in the cave, Wang Zhifan, not wanting Chu Wei and Ah Liao beside him to notice anything unusual, quickly scanned through all options and made a choice. His choice might not have been the optimal one given the situation at the ti, but it certainly wasn’t the worst. After all, the 0.001% triggering probability already indicated the value of this bonus.
After his personal attributes skyrocketed, Wang Zhifan keenly felt so changes in his body.
For instance, before touching the statue, his body was sowhat fatigued, but after gaining enhancent, he felt as if he had taken a stimulant, feeling intensely good and brimming with energy, though he forcibly suppressed himself at the ti to show no abnormality.
He even discovered that he seed to have acquired a sowhat extraordinary ability: he could perceive so movents around him without needing to look or listen.
For example, he could now sense without turning his head that about three ters behind him on the wall of the Dongjiang Second Bureau Building, an ant was crawling towards the ground. This perception wasn’t as clear as vision or as obvious as hearing, but he genuinely noticed so subtle details around him, sothing he never experienced before.
"This novel ability should co from the extraordinary perception allowed by a high 27-point Spirit attribute."
Wang Zhifan had a firm opinion on this, realizing that the Spirit attribute might hold significant importance for a warrior occupation as well.
"Fan, Ah Liao, sorry for the wait. Have you decided where to eat?"
After waiting a while, Chu Wei finally erged from the entrance of the Dongjiang Second Bureau Building behind Wang Zhifan and Ah Liao, appearing to have completed those task docunts.
"I suggest we go for a buffet!"
Seeing Chu Wei finally coming out, the young Ah Liao, who had been squatting and playing with his mobile phone, stood up and turned to respond to Chu Wei.
"I’m fine with anything, just decide between yourselves."
Wang Zhifan also turned around and smiled at Chu Wei, finding this young woman who brought him imnse benefits more and more pleasing to the eye.
About two hours later, around dusk.
After eating and drinking to their fill, spending most of the money he earned today, Wang Zhifan finally returned to his little rented ho.
He first took a good shower in his cramped bathroom, then started to relax and entertain himself, such as reading novels on his mobile phone and playing competitive gas on his laptop.
After a busy day, this leisure ti was very necessary, greatly relaxing his body and mind, allowing him to face tomorrow’s tasks at the peak of his condition.
Before going to bed that night, Wang Zhifan followed his routine of checking posts on the Xia Country Player Forum, then noticed a notice issued by the Special Administration Bureau, worth his attention.
"Xia Country Special Administration Bureau:
Special notice: In the past two days, several serious violent assault incidents have occurred in multiple large cities in our country, including Jinlin City and Dongjiang City. After investigation, the suspects are seemingly from foreign player criminal groups.
To quickly eliminate these unlawful violent elents threatening society, we are continuing the pursuit while also inviting capable high-level players to hunt them down. Successful hunting can result in substantial bounties from our bureau...
anwhile, ordinary players are advised to avoid walking alone on unfrequented routes whenever possible, especially avoiding going out near nightti unless necessary, as evidence indicates that player groups are their primary targets, with frequent occurrences at night..."
Wang Zhifan had seen similar notifications on the forum before, but those hadn’t described the situation as severely nor specially reminded ordinary player groups to stay cautious. The explicit ntion of Dongjiang City further weighed on Wang Zhifan’s heart.
