Chapter 53, Section 052: High-Efficiency Seclusion

dawn.

Hanks was in a great mood last night after turning the tables and taking control of the situation.

He pushed open the door, intending to check if Reed's four slaves were still alive.

If he were alive, he planned to treat them.

As soon as I pushed the door open.

Then I saw my old neighbor sitting at the door, leisurely basking in the sun.

His neighbor was a 30-year-old man with white hair. The reason he looked so frail and old was because of his adventures when he was young…

"Old man, sunbathing?"

Hanks smiled and greeted his neighbor.

But his neighbor, contrary to his usual behavior, did not curse him; instead, he smiled and nodded.

Then she gave him a thumbs up.

Hanks was taken aback, and quickly pulled out his detector...

[Tier 1, Level 1]...

It's confirmed, this is indeed his unfortunate neighbor.

He thought that weird, sarcastic look just now was from that bastard An Kai…

wrong!

Hanks suddenly woke up with a start. That bastard Ankai was also showing up as "Tier 1, Level 1" in the detector!

Hanks took two steps at a time and arrived at his neighbor's place...

"What? You want me to teach you some techniques?"

Hearing those familiar, sarcastic words, Hanks laughed.

It was finally confirmed that this was indeed his neighbor; if it were Ankai, he wouldn't have said that.

Ankai only mocked him, which was different from the sarcastic remarks of his neighbor.

"Forget it, you've never even held a woman's hand in your entire life, how could you teach me?"

"Also, the next time I see you looking at her, I'll gouge your eyes out so you can enjoy your old age sooner."

Hanks patted his neighbor on the shoulder, his tone gentle, but his words were icy cold.

The white-haired neighbor, after being threatened by Hanks, turned red in the face, but dared not utter a single word in rebuttal…

"Hahaha, remember my words, you old fool!"

Hanks laughed loudly and walked outside.

Today he's also planning to visit the dealer who sells detectors; I heard he's gotten a new batch of detectors from him…

"Hey, old man!"

Ankai, disguised as Hanks' neighbor, watched Hanks leave and felt relieved.

This time, the disguise of hiding the truth in the dark was not exposed.

A place to live that cost two gold coins is definitely worth it!

A short while later, Widow Wang straightened her sleeves and pushed open the door to come out.

When you see Ankai sunbathing, give him a kind smile.

An Kai quickly lowered his head, pretending that he didn't dare to look.

Widow Wang chuckled at the sight, glanced again at An Kai's disguised white-haired neighbor, and then swayed away, her hips swaying gracefully...

After Widow Wang left, An Kai continued to pretend for a while longer.

Back in the room.

First, I checked today's side quests.

There were no changes compared to the day before, except for a slight change in the orc army side quest.

[Chapter 34: The desert orc army is attacked. A hundred-strong force located one kilometer from Chaos City is wiped out. The orc general has bribed the people of Chaos City to stake out the bounty tower in an attempt to find the killer!]

...

The appearance of the side quest made An Kai suppress his idea of going to the bounty tower today.

His figure shifted, and his face transformed into that of a man with triangular eyes.

Then they headed straight for the Chaos City Tavern.

Dressed in a long linen robe and carrying a newly borrowed cleaver, Ankai, disguised, arrived at the first tavern.

"Ten catties of game meat!"

"If it's done well, I'll buy another 500 jin (250 catties) to take home!"

On this day, An Kai disguised himself in various forms and appeared in various taverns, spending lavishly and speaking with great generosity.

Each time, after finishing the meager dozen or so kilograms of meat that barely filled his teeth, he would wave his hand and buy several hundred kilograms of meat, then arrange for the tavern to deliver it to his designated location.

These locations are scattered throughout the city.

After the meat was delivered, Ankai flattened and compacted it, put it into his storage ring, and took it back to the house opposite Hanks's.

To prevent the smell from escaping, he also used freezing magic to freeze the room and the meat.

It took Ankai three days to fill the room to the brim.

Looking at the room full of animal meat, An Kai breathed a sigh of relief. This food was more than enough for his seclusion.

At the same time, he was also a little melancholy, as the balanced development of his four attributes caused his appetite to grow larger and larger.

If this continues, he will likely spend every single moment of his life eating...

As his attributes improved, solving the food problem gradually became an urgent issue!

"In 27 days, when you see that kid Will, ask him if there's any way to solve the food problem in the inner city!"

With a muttered sound, Ankai used [Summon]...

A six-pointed star array appeared, magical elements condensed, and a flash of light appeared...

[Bloodlust Rat: Lv12]

A large rat, half a meter long, appeared, with blood-red eyes and blood-red fur all over its body.

Without hesitation, Ankai conjured a freezing sword in his hand and pierced the head of the Bloodthirsty Rat.

Skillfully peeling open the abdomen, he extracted a blood-red magic core the size of a fingertip.

Silently say, "Exchange!"

[Skill Point +2]

This is the third [Bloodthirsty Rat] he has summoned in three days. Including today's one, he has obtained a total of two magic cores...

That means you gained 4 skill points.

A two-thirds chance of getting a magic core is not bad. If it continues to be maintained, it will be a good improvement for Ankai!

...

After 27 days.

The 100-square-meter house, which was once piled high with animal meat, is now completely empty.

Only in front of Ankai were there some frozen pieces of beast meat.

A 27-day meditation retreat without sleep or rest.

This gave Ankai 28 attribute points.

During this period, apart from eating and doing necessary things, Ankai spent all his remaining time in meditation.

During meditation, his mind became increasingly clear, and he did not feel tired even without rest.

With the Staff of Meditation in hand, Ankai can now gain an attribute point every 21 hours.

This 27-day meditation session was the most efficient one Ankai had ever had since he began meditating.

Normally, out of 27 days, there would be at least seven or eight days dedicated to rest...

Perhaps it was the sudden news that Chaos City had an inner city that stirred An Kai's relaxed heart.

The 28 attribute points were evenly distributed across the four attribute values.

An Kai stood up, let out a long sigh, and looked at his upgraded stats...

【Level Lv1: 10/10 'Locked'】

Intelligence: 138 (Initial value: 1)

Endurance: 137 (Initial value: 1)

Stamina: 137 (Initial value: 1)
