Alone and Infinite

[Description: This is a ferocious beast with an astonishing appetite. If you can satisfy its hunger, its fangs will make its enemies feel true pain!]

It's a pretty good sniper rifle, but unfortunately it suffers from the common problem of sniper rifles: it gets saturated with bullets.

Furthermore, a portion of the power is in the bullet, which is a weakness of long-range attacks.

We must reserve a certain amount of arrows and ammunition.

This is fair; ranged techniques upgrade quickly and consume fewer resources.

Li Xia stroked the sniper rifle, which had a somewhat futuristic appearance, and the scope was not the common cylindrical shape, but a square one.

The matte finish of the gun exuded a murderous aura.

"Boss, should we keep it for ourselves?"

Li Xia hesitated for a moment, then let out a long yawn:

"Let's see if we can exchange it tomorrow. I reckon the ammunition for this gun isn't cheap, so let's see."

At this moment, a deep sense of weariness, along with the relaxation of body and mind, surged up.

Li Xia glanced at the newly hatched Aowu, then at the blood and tears streaming down Black Charcoal's body from the evolution of its eyes.

They simply took one in each hand and headed towards the bathroom.

"No, I just hatched, I'm clean! Clean—oh~~~~ Is this what hot water feels like?"

Cool!"

The egg was filled with hot water, and the little dragon was so comfortable that even its whiskers stretched out.

"Meow!"

The kitten's aversion to water is innate, but Li Xia still managed to hold it down and cover it in bubbles.

After washing himself clean, Li Xia took off all his clothes and lay down on the bed. He was immediately enveloped by a strong sense of sleepiness.

He fell into a deep sleep, and the night passed without incident.

Li Xia opened her eyes, removed the black charcoal from her chest, then frowned, noticing the sheets were wet.

Looking up, I saw a small cloud floating above the bed, with a light drizzle dripping from it.

Awoo's head rested on the edge of the eggshell, a mysterious smile on its face, as if it were dreaming about something.

It's definitely not a good dream!

Never mind, I'll let Awoo handle it himself later. I thoughtfully picked up the black charcoal and placed it in the wettest spot.

Li Xia put on his clothes and went out, concealing his merits and fame.

I had only walked a few steps when I heard noises coming from inside the house.

"Meow!"

The black charcoal emitting a highly penetrating cry followed by a hissing sound.

"Hey, stop scratching! Stop scratching!"

Stepping onto the terrace, shutting out the noise, Li Xia stood in a static posture with his hands clasped behind his back and his eyes closed amidst the falling snowflakes.

Afterwards, they practiced a few more rounds of boxing. The rising heat caused the snowflakes to melt quickly before they even got close, turning them into wisps of steam.

As time went on, the steam grew thicker and thicker, surrounding him like a fairyland.

When he got back, Aowu was already rubbing the red marks on his face and throwing the sheet into the dryer.

The black charcoal next to it was licking its fur while glaring and howling.

"Are you going with us to strengthen our defenses, or will you go later?"

"I still need to air out the blankets. Let's buy a housekeeping robot, the kind that sells the best."

The Temple of Light possesses incredible power, but it is not a nanny; the apostles are responsible for their own daily lives.

You can't spend points to have the Temple of Light wash your sheets and clothes; you can only buy related appliances.

The template they chose includes a complete set of furniture and appliances, but its sophistication is only average, at most about ten years more advanced than reality.

So housekeeping robots are indeed quite popular.

After thinking for a while, Li Xia simply transferred 1 points to each of Xiaolong and Xiaomao.

"Okay, you can buy them yourselves later, and keep the rest as pocket money."

Oh, and remember to take down the plantation.

In the last world, a huge sum of money was spent on time acceleration, just to collect materials and make money.

I've collected them several times now; all the skill points I need to strengthen my skills come from this.

The Hall of Light was still as lively as ever.

Soft white light illuminated this place sheltered by the dome day and night, and people in all sorts of costumes walked back and forth on a straight street.

This is a land of miracles, a land of dreams, and a land of despair.

The weak can only struggle in the world, step by step moving towards death.

The strong, however, enjoy adventures in the world and ascend the throne step by step.

Every inch of air here seems to be filled with the blood, tears, and maniacal laughter of the apostles, contradictory and complex, fascinating yet extremely dangerous.

Li Xia walked quietly, emptying his mind and not thinking about anything. When he came to his senses, he was already standing at the entrance of the enhancement hall.

Inside the sliding 'coffin', a pale blue panel emerged.

[Current attribute points: 21, please allocate them, Executioner]

Without any hesitation, Li Xia made the following adjustments.

【Power: 29→33】

[Agility: 29→33]

Intelligence: 28 → 33

【Spirit: 29→33】

[Physique: 29→33]

Just as I clicked "confirm," a blinding light suddenly shone inside the enhancement chamber.

Intense pain surged from every corner of my body; every cell seemed to be wailing, undergoing a transformation under immense force.

Li Xia frowned, and the muscles in her cheeks twitched involuntarily.

I've gotten used to this pain.

Slide the reinforced compartment lid upwards.

White steam billowed from the pressure relief vent, accompanied by a loud hissing sound, and a hand reached through the dense steam to rest on the cool edge of the reinforced chamber.

Li Xia's body was flushed with an unnatural dark red, like a branding iron that had been heated to a scorching heat.

Wisps of blue smoke also drifted into the air from his body.

I clenched my fist tightly and felt my strength increase significantly. Other aspects also improved accordingly, such as my dynamic vision.

After getting used to the changes in his body for a while, Li Xia turned and walked towards the skill enhancement hall.

The two halls are not far apart. In addition, Li Xia also wanted to try the equipment enhancement hall, which is a feature that is only available at Tier 3.

Because I'm new to Tier 3 and short on funds, I didn't consider it in the last world.

But now it's worth a try.

Skill enhancement room number 666 was occupied, so Li Xia had no choice but to go to the adjacent skill enhancement facility number 667.

In the empty room, Li Xia looked at the pale blue notification box floating in front of her.

Before I knew it, I had developed more and more skills.

Please select the skills you wish to improve.

Li Xia looked at his account. After deducting the 20,000 points he gave to Aowu and Heitan, he still had a little over 120,000 Hall Points left.

It was clearly not enough to unleash all my skills, so after thinking about it, I simply pulled up Lancelot's contact from my address book.

"exist?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Xia."

"30 Hall Points, plus payment in medicine, I'll give it to you tomorrow or the day after."

Li Xia thought for a moment, then pasted the panel of the newly acquired Nax sniper rifle back on.

"Use this as collateral."

If you were to sell the Nax sniper rifle, including the premium for Tier 3 equipment, it would fetch around 200,000.

With the remaining 100,000 yuan, Li Xia decided to test whether his reputation was worth that much money.

"30? No problem—"

Lancelot glanced at the stats of the Nax sniper rifle and immediately agreed.

Personal feelings are personal feelings, and business is business. It's not that I don't trust Li Xia, but as the deputy leader, he has to be responsible for the team.

After a simple draft of the agreement, 300,000 Hall Points were quickly transferred to Li Xia's account.

Looking at the 42 Hall Points in his account, Li Xia instantly straightened his back.

It's just a skill, isn't it?

I order!

Upgrading the Sky Blade requires 100 Hall Points. Do you want to pay?

Only 100? Pay up!

Suddenly, the surroundings lit up, and a beam of light from the ceiling of the room enveloped him.

Li Xia felt his muscles trembling uncontrollably, which gradually subsided after a few minutes.

The Sky Blade has been upgraded to Rank 2.

Undeterred, I continued making the payment, and soon a series of prompts appeared.

[Upgraded to Rank 3]

[Upgraded to Rank 4]
