My Lord, Times Have Changed

After this mission, Bai Zhi's attributes improved significantly. Although he didn't reach the maximum value of 15 points, he was actually very close.

[Strength: 14+1]

[Agility: 14]

[Constitution: 14+2]

[Intelligence: 15]

[Perception: 13+2]

[Charisma:15]

[Sanity:???]

[Free Attribute Point: 1 point]

Compared to before, his current attributes are completely different, thanks in no small part to the gym on the Special floor of the Tombstone Apartment.

In reality, this could be considered a hidden perk of the mission. Although he completed the mission easily this time, if other Player teams had gone to that Apartment, they would have been wiped out without anyone in the team who was particularly good at deduction.

After a moment's thought, Bai Zhi added the Free Attribute Point to Perception. In a sense, his current fighting style is more like that of Mage, and he is somewhat Mana Depletion. 300 points of Spiritual Energy really isn't enough for him to use for too long.

Although he's Mage who uses a gun, times are changing and society is developing. What's wrong with a mere Mage using a gun?

"Sir, this food is too cheap."

Instead of checking the Item and Skill Card he had acquired, Bai Zhi first removed the sole lens [Pluto▪Remnant] that he had been wearing on his eye.

Without this Support Equipment, his combat power would drop drastically, after all, his haphazard Support, almost stale shooting skills... let's not even mention them.

After the five Rare Level and Damaged Equipment purchased from Zither-Drum Harmony were incorporated into this piece of Equipment, a new set of attributes emerged with a faint flash of white light.

[Item Name: Pluto▪Deficient]

[Type: Support Equipment]

[Quality: Elite]

[Weight: None]

[Durability: 30/30]

[Special Effect ①: Eye of Truth. Comes with a passive ability: the power to see through illusions and dispel Illusion-Breaking; illusions have nowhere to hide before you.]

[Special Effect ②: Precision. When activated, greatly increases accuracy for one minute and grants dynamic vision.]

[Special Effect ③: Eagle Eye. Has a passive effect that greatly improves the user's eyesight and increases their field of vision.]

[Special Effect 4: God's Perspective. Once activated, you gain a comprehensive God's Perspective centered on yourself. You can turn it on and off at any time.]

[Equipment Requirements: Perception ≥ 16]

[Consumption:: None/50 Spiritual Energy /None/10 Spiritual Energy per minute]

[Note:: Using five pieces of Equipment of the same Level will upgrade this Equipment, improving its Quality, up to a maximum of Perfect Grade.]

"... Did it go from being damaged to incomplete? Contact Lenses lens even became two..."

Looking at the Equipment description that appeared, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Strictly speaking, this is his first Elite Level Equipment. Although it is classified as a Support Type, its Support Special Effect are surprisingly powerful.

"It seems that if a low -Level Player's own Level and attributes don't keep up, even if they get higher Quality Equipment, they won't be able to use it... Luckily, I allocated my points to Perception before."

After muttering something under his breath, Bai Zhi put on the Contact Lenses in front of him. When he opened his eyes again, the whole world seemed to have changed.

The world before him was clearer than ever before; even the dust in the air was clearly visible. From his current position, he could even see a bare nail nailed to the wall of a building hundreds of meters away.

As for the so-called "God's Perspective"...

"It's a little uncomfortable at first... but you'll get used to it."

Bai Zhi reached up and pressed his temples, then squinted slightly.

The so-called "God's Perspective" is a third-person, all-around perspective. The field of view is locked around him. Activating this Equipment effect means that he no longer has any blind spots.

However, using this God's Perspective not only consumes Spiritual Energy, but also takes a huge toll on his mental energy. He had only tried using the God's Perspective for a few minutes when he felt a dull ache deep in his head, which was a clear sign of excessive Mental Power exhaustion.

"Bai Zhi, there's no water in the house."

Just as Bai Zhi was rubbing his forehead, intending to rest for a few minutes, a White-haired loli poked her head out from outside the door.

"Also, isn't it time to cook?"

"What, is the water out?"

Turning to look at the other person, Bai Zhi appeared slightly surprised.

"Well, there's not a single drop of water left in the tap. It seems the pipes froze and burst due to the Extreme Cold."

Qingyi nodded.

"What should we do? Should we send Shadow Guard out to buy water? And maybe bring back some food while they're at it... I'm starving!!"

Clutching her stomach, the White-haired loli emphasized this point.

"What nonsense are you thinking? The abnormal weather is already enough to cause panic. Do you want to deliberately create Anomaly Incident to ignite further panic?"

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi opened the drawer and tossed a bag of Spiced Beef over.

"Eat some of this to fill your stomach first, then I'll go cook dinner."

"Hmm... what if the water is cut off?"

Qingyi hesitated slightly as she took the bag of Spiced Beef.

"I'm a little worried that this unusual weather might last for several days, and if we don't have enough supplies at home... I'm fine, but what about you?"

"Don't act like the Apocalypse is about to end, and don't underestimate the Strength of us Player."

With a slight pursing of his lips, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked out the window.

"It's just a sudden drop in temperature caused by the invasion of cold air, but why do you make it sound like the Apocalypse has come?"

"The Japan has already arrived, ever since the first Anomaly Incident in your World Number One... the only difference is whether it comes sooner or later."

Without any hesitation, she climbed onto the bed and, while tearing open the package of White-haired loli Spiced Beef, muttered something under her breath.

"So I think you're being a bit too pessimistic. Remember to help me with my homework more often in the future, so you won't have the extra energy to think about these things."

Shrugging, Bai Zhi turned his head and focused his gaze on the Rare Quality random Item he had just taken out of his Inventory.

However, when his gaze fell upon that Item, he was immediately stunned.

--That was a roll of toilet paper.
