The familiar feeling of disorientation quickly faded, and when Wang Zhifan ca back to his senses, he found himself already inside his rental apartnt, with the doors and windows tightly shut.
He then walked to the single bed by the wall, picked up his phone which he had left on the bed before entering the virtual world, unlocked the screen, and checked the current date and ti.
"I can’t believe I spent a full three days in that Great Catastrophe virtual world, yet only less than half an hour has passed in reality."
Comparing the date and ti from his mory before entering the virtual world, Wang Zhifan quickly confird that the ti he spent in the virtual world had been greatly compressed, with only over twenty minutes passing in the real world.
"It’s still quite early, so I can take a shower and play with my phone or practice my cultivation techniques, then go to work when it’s ti... Wait, I guess I don’t need to work anymore."
Initially, Wang Zhifan was about to spend this day following his usual routine when he realized that his past lifestyle might no longer suit him. He now had the choice to step into a new life.
He said this because Wang Zhifan used to clean the Gray Realm for work primarily to earn money, hoping to get so rewards from the Gray Realm incidentally. When it ca to earning money, his previous choice to work was a kind of compromise, or it was a relatively appropriate choice for personal safety, otherwise if he were willing to take risks, he could have sought channels to sell equipnt for quick cash a long ti ago, rapidly attaining financial independence.
But for the current Wang Zhifan, the previously risky behavior wouldn’t be foreseeably dangerous anymore because his skills had significantly improved, especially in terms of self-defense capabilities. He could now avoid wasting his ti and energy on so complicated matters.
"With the ability of an exceptional level Spirit Biological Force Field as self-protection, along with my personal combat power and various equipnt, I should now be able to resist so minor dark forces, and even if I’m unlucky enough to attract the attention of so ill-intentioned people, I have the confidence to safely resolve the trouble.
Therefore, I can completely sell so of the high-level equipnt I don’t need to solve my financial issues, without needing to work anymore. This would give more ti and energy to practice the Great Dream Saber Scripture, Pure Yang True Skill, and Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill, quickly converting these three exceptional level cultivation techniques into personal strength.
As for the rewards in the Gray Realm, from recent experience, the chances of obtaining them are too low. Rather than hoping to hit the jackpot in the Gray Realm cleansed by official arrangent, it’s better to practice steadily and enhance my own skills."
After contemplating for a mont, Wang Zhifan made up his mind. He decided not to continue working to get by in the future but to take practical action to beco a leisurely Fu.
While pondering specific plans, he packed his gear into his portable space and then squeezed into the cramped bathroom of his rental apartnt for a shower, changed into clean clothes, and contacted Chu Wei via his phone to discuss his plans. After all, he had a decent relationship with her and couldn’t suddenly bail on her.
Chu Wei, whom he rembered as a diligent worker with a regular routine, quickly responded to his ssage, saying she respected his personal wishes. However, she ntioned that her team had a heavy cleaning task today, and because Wang Zhifan didn’t inform them in advance about not working, there was no corresponding arrangent on their end, so she hoped Wang Zhifan could help for one last day.
"No problem, I’ll be there later, working one more day today."
Wang Zhifan agreed to Chu Wei without much hesitation because he felt she was a good person worth maintaining a relationship with, and suddenly bailing was not his style. Working one last day wouldn’t be much of a loss.
"Who knows, I might even have a stroke of luck and find a treasure on my last day cleaning the Gray Realm... Oh, I seem to have planned to look for a new apartnt near the managent bureau today, but that’s probably not necessary for now. I’m not afraid of anyone looking for trouble."
His increased skills significantly affected Wang Zhifan’s life plans, even causing him to reconsider so of his recent intentions.
After a brief period of leisure, he embarked on his last day of work, arriving at the familiar entrance of the Dongjiang Second Bureau Building.
But unlike before, he found only Chu Wei waiting for him at the entrance; Ah Liao, the little guy whose age was questionable, wasn’t in sight.
"Ah Wei, where’s Liao? Didn’t he oversleep and miss work?"
Feeling sowhat strange, Wang Zhifan walked toward the short-haired beauty Chu Wei, who was ready to go, and inquired.
"Mm, Ah Liao hasn’t co to work today. I’ve contacted him multiple tis with no response, and when I called his dorm, they said they hadn’t seen him."
Chu Wei nodded calmly, but her tone carried a subtle hint of heaviness.
"Oh... Maybe he’s out playing sowhere..."
Wang Zhifan suddenly realized sothing after hearing this, a slight look of surprise flashing across his eyes, and he responded.
"Hopefully that’s the case..."
Chu Wei nodded calmly again.
"Today it’s just the two of us cleaning the Gray Realm, the pressure might be heavier, but your daily wage will increase by 50%."
She then explained the situation to Wang Zhifan.
"No problem, we can definitely handle it."
Wang Zhifan had little objection to this because he knew the difficulty of the Gray Realm cleansed by the managent bureau wouldn’t be high. Missing a person would just an spending more ti.
Just thinking that if Ah Liao never appeared again, it would indeed be a bit of a pity considering he’s still so young.
After a brief exchange, the two proceeded to walk to the nearby parking lot, preparing to take a special car to begin today’s Gray Realm cleaning work.
But as soon as they entered the parking lot, they saw a deep, solid black sedan opening its doors, from which a few individuals in black uniforms erged.
The leader was a tall, handso man in his late twenties with a commanding appearance. As soon as he stepped out of the car, he swept his sharp gaze over Chu Wei and Wang Zhifan approaching from the front, then led his group past them with a swift stride toward the nearby managent bureau building.
"Ah Wei, who was that person just now? He had such a presence."
Wang Zhifan generally doesn’t ask about others’ situations, but the leading man who just passed by them in black attire clearly wasn’t an ordinary person, sparking his curiosity.
"That’s Mr. Li."
Chu Wei evidently knew him.
"Mr. Li is reportedly an Lv50-plus elite player, solving high-risk Gray Realm issues and criminal players around Dongjiang City."
She continued to introduce.
