With this thought in mind, Gu Mo did a final check of the edited second episode, confirming that there were no issues. Once the system-provided privacy protection was well activated, he chose to confirm.
Then, as expected, he watched the upload page start to freeze again.

Perhaps due to the niche subject matter of the video, it didn't suddenly go viral or beco incredibly popular. Ti passed day by day just like that.
The progress of upgrading achievents naturally also advanced slowly, with the current completion at around forty percent. Upon realizing that he couldn't rush the process, Gu Mo beca more accepting, planning to treat it as a long-term goal to complete gradually.
He didn't simply waste the rest period. He never imagined he could live so fulfillingly, and so... self-disciplined. Every day he was either physically working on improving his skills, imrsing himself in ga records for lesson review, boosting his skill proficiency, or learning special knowledge.
Abe no Seii and Minamoto no Yoshiie didn't just impart the combat abilities of samurai or onmyoji. In the crash course of cram-style dojo sessions that lasted more than half a month, he heard plenty about auxiliary knowledge skills.
For example, so effective formulas, the dicinal properties and beneficial uses of common plants, reaching further into utilizing materials to create secret dicine for knife wounds, how to mix simple incense in the wild for calmness and warding off evil... and much more. These were all very useful.
These were part of the rich experience accumulated during their lifetis. At that ti, Gu Mo's mind was only focused on directly enhancing combat power through occupational skills, unable to spare extra ti and energy to morize and learn those. He originally thought he missed out, but now he had the chance to make up for it.
Thus—
He took online courses, trained, and for the remaining ti started catching up on ani and shows. Not only was this for relaxation and rest during leisure, it also prepared as much as possible for future quests; additionally, he had to go out to explore the existence of quest entrances on the big map, determine their patterns, and so on...
During intervals, he updated his status in circles of family and friends to show his presence, talking about his current situation and recent plans to let them know he was active, preparing for his upcoming disappearance from the human world...
Basically, everything was packed full. Every day's schedule was full.
If he really couldn't squeeze out more ti and considering that the efficiency and cost-effectiveness might not be high, he even thought of checking in at a nearby gym to see if it was possible to enhance base physical attributes through exercise, given how precious every point was.
After self-recharging for nearly a month in such a way, feeling that the gains from the last quest were almost self-digested, and continuing would result in very low self-study efficiency, Gu Mo finally decided to end this period of secluded training and prepare to embark on a more efficient journey of self-improvent.
On this day, Gu Mo carried a rather large travel bag, filled with clothes, food, clean water, and ergency dicine, even a toolbox too, fully ard as if ready for wilderness survival, looking like a backpacker who would end up wherever.
Then he rechecked the items in his inventory, rearranged them according to priority and potential use, organized everything neatly, and after checking, he headed out directly...
Based on his exploration during this period, it seed that the quest entrances on the "big map" would refresh in cycles of every three days. As long as he didn't enter, the entrance would remain in place during this ti period, and disappear after it.
Last night, he discovered a relatively suitable quest entrance in an abandoned building on the western side of the city in a developnt site.
It's usually deserted without surveillance, and entering and exiting quests wouldn't cause any trouble naturally. Based on this reason, he decided the next quest would be there... Anyway, the background and story are unknown until entering, so it's best to go according to convenience.
...
Approximately twenty minutes after going out.
Taking a taxi to an area abandoned due to developer funding turnover issues that halted construction, eventually leading to this dead-end developnt zone. Gu Mo bid farewell to the enthusiastic and talkative taxi driver, and walked into the desolate and quiet construction site.
Despite carrying relatively heavy equipnt on his back, he still seed quite at ease, not struggling at all, while ascending the building and pulling out his phone to check his social network status and updates while there was still a connection, exhaling gently only after confirming there were no issues.
This ti, don't stay too long; let's set a deadline of around a month. By that ti, find a way back and there won't be any issues...
Of course, if he entered a relatively dangerous world and was forced out of the quest due to mission failure soon after, that would be another matter...
Taking a deep breath, he ascended the last staircase of the abandoned building, looking at the exit at the top. He could already see the desolation of the top floor and the sky and sunlight outside. Just as he approached a certain distance, the familiar electric noise buzzed in his ear.
