This bug is amazing!

Chapter 42, Eleventh Floor, Home

As Miss Cat chanted incantations, illusory figures constantly shifted across her face.

【Name: Rashly Invoking the Gods】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: One can strengthen oneself by invoking a deity. However, due to the hasty nature of the ritual, the deity invoked is relatively random, and there is a chance of producing negative effects.]

[Learning Requirements: Spiritual Power > 40]

[Note: Summoning a deity is like drawing cards; you might draw Hellfire, or you might draw a Fallen God.]

Ji Yi, wielding a dagger, continued to entangle with the strange beast.

At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Miss Cat to see what she could bring out.

"This dagger's durability is about to break."

As he continued his feigned scraping therapy, many cuts were made in the beast's hide.

However, these were all minor injuries. The beast was not actually harmed; instead, it was enraged and its attacks became even more ferocious.

"Miss Cat's ritual is almost over, so let the weapon explode if it wants."

Ji Yi, in a fit of rage, began to fight the strange beast.

He was much faster than the beast, and with his harassing, one-hit-and-run tactics, he made the beast increasingly powerless and enraged.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound.

The item "dagger" is permanently damaged.

"Damn it! My brand new dagger!"

Enraged, Ji Yi punched the beast in the eye socket, causing it to howl in pain and stagger back several steps.

"Miss Cat, is it ready yet?"

On the other side, Miss Cat was surrounded by eerie blue ghost flames.

"All right!"

She suddenly opened her eyes, and her pupils turned into golden vertical pupils.

The flames enveloping his body were incredibly strange, and even the axe in his hand was coated with this azure flame.

"This is... a two-tailed cat demon?"

brush--

Then, Miss Cat leaped into the air in an unbelievable and bizarre manner.

In terms of speed alone, she was naturally no match for Ji Yi, but with her extremely agile maneuvering and turning, she appeared almost ghostly.

Speed: 35 (Temporary)

Agility: 40 (Temporary)

"This is too powerful."

Miss Cat swung her axe in mid-air and smashed it hard on the beast's head.

click!
The axe embedded itself in the skull, and a ghostly blue flame seeped into it.

brush--

Miss Cat leaped ten meters high with a single bound, but her strength was insufficient to remove the axe, so she simply retreated.

"Ouch!"

The strange beast was engulfed by eerie flames and let out painful howls.

Snapped!
It slammed into the ground with a fishtail, causing the earth to tremble.

Ji Yi retreated quickly to avoid being affected by the beast's final struggle.

"Ouch!"

The flames invaded its brain, and the beast quickly fell silent.

The azure flames burned the beast's body to ashes, leaving only the axe behind.

[Level 7 cleared]

[Reward: The Holy Sword of Physics]

Ji Yi's eyes lit up when she saw the crowbar that had appeared in her inventory.

Excellent weapon, medium attack power!
Compared to daggers, which have lower attack power, this weapon is much stronger in both power and attack range.

All the hard work was worthwhile.

Trading in old weapons for new ones resulted in a small profit.

At this moment, Miss Cat canceled the summoning effect, and her spiritual power value dropped to 68%.

She picked up the axe, blackened by smoke, from the ground: "The durability has dropped a lot."

Put away the axe and replace it with a multi-functional military shovel:

"I can't use the axe anymore; I need to wait until I get back to repair it."

Ji Yi nodded without saying anything.

The two continued forward and soon found an underground staircase.

After that, everything went smoothly.

[Item obtained: Climbing Gloves]

[Item Acquired: Heavy Plate Armor]

[Item Acquired: Adrenaline Injection]

The subsequent levels were passed one after another.

The boss guarding the tenth floor was a supernatural, agile monster, which was countered by the two of them, so it was a close call.

"Let's rest here for a while." Facing the dark and gloomy underground staircase.

Miss Cat stopped in her tracks.

"The style of the later levels will be very different from the first ten levels. You need to be prepared. Once you get to the bottom, you can't just brute force your way through. Adjust your condition and get enough rest before you set off again."

"it is good."

Ji Yi nodded.

It had already taken them more than four hours to conquer the first ten floors of the Magic Tower, and the two of them definitely needed to prepare properly.

Sit on the floor.

Ji Yi took out a bag of rice.

Under Miss Cat's shocked gaze, they stuffed handfuls into their mouths.

"Want some?"

Ji Yi handed over a handful.

Miss Cat shook her head: "Raw rice is out of the question. But if there's meat, I don't mind if it's raw."

Surprisingly, they didn't fall for it.

"Okay, then I'll serve you the meat next time."

"."

Completed and repaired.

Ji Yi is back to full health.

Miss Cat is in a slightly worse position. The continuous battles have greatly depleted her spiritual energy, and she has barely recovered to 80%.

Da da da.

The empty staircase spirals downwards this time, seemingly without end.

After walking for almost ten minutes, the two finally reached the eleventh floor.

This is a modern-style bedroom.

The moment the two of them reached the floor, the stairs mysteriously vanished, as if they had never existed.

"What's this, some kind of escape room?"

Ji Yi was completely baffled.

"I don't know. The challenges from the 11th to the 20th floors are far more varied and complex than the first ten floors. Some are purely puzzle-solving, while others require both combat skills and brainpower, making them very troublesome to challenge."

While Miss Cat was speaking, Ji Yi was already looking around.

“I remember this place.”

Miss Cat: "Hmm?"

"this is my house."

"??"

Xie Jiayi looked puzzled: "The layout of his house wasn't like this last time I went there."

"To be precise, this was my old home."

Ji Yi walked to the bedside, and just as she was about to sit down, she stopped herself.

This is not his home.

Everything is merely a projection of a hyperdimensional game.

"It's a long story. Remember I told you I was short of money?"

"Yeah, remember."

“This is my parents’ room. Our house is not small, but it was forcibly auctioned off by the court a long time ago because my family owes a lot of money, a lot of money.”

Miss Cat's expression softened, and she began to listen attentively.

“That year, my mother joined a church organization and frantically took money from home to the church. She did it very well, and no one in the family knew about it. By the time we found out, the family was already in debt for several million.”

As he spoke, he looked nostalgically at the familiar sights in the bedroom.

"Later, my dad ran off with another woman, and my mom disappeared without a trace. Because I was tricked into signing a guarantor's signature, all the subsequent debts fell on me when I was still in college."

As Ji Yi recounted her past, her expression became increasingly relaxed.

He plopped down on the bed.

He raised his hand to signal to Miss Cat:

"Sit down, there's no danger here."

Although Hsieh Chia-yi was not very willing to sit on the same bed with a man.

But seeing Ji Yi getting emotionally involved, she couldn't refuse.

The two sat on the double bed, half a meter apart.

"Later, I had to drop out of school and work. I managed to pay back a million through gaming, but that was just a short-lived speculative venture. My source of income quickly dried up. Sorry for telling you all this rambling. That's my current mood."

"It's okay, I'm willing to listen."

"Um"

Ji Yi nodded.

His emotions are indeed complicated right now.

However, it wasn't because of a broken family or unwarranted debt.

Ji Yi looked at the information provided by the Data Eye:
【Title: The Room of the Believer in the Evil God】

[Note: Oh~ it seems there's an unlucky guy who has some connection to the Gods' Game. Let's guess who this unlucky guy is. We can definitely rule out a certain man with the Eye of Data first.]
