Smells So Good!

To be fair, agility C was still quite fast—at least far faster than a bicycle. Mo Shuying sprinted at full speed, and his explosive burst probably exceeded eighty miles per hour.

Unfortunately, Mo Shuying's Endurance was only E. After running for ten minutes, he was done for.

"Hah! What! Oh my god—hah! That was terrifying!"

Mo Shuying had genuinely been frightened just now. Those mental energies had appeared so suddenly. In his eyes, they had been like countless gleaming steel blades piercing his body, carrying icy killing intent. Fortunately, they had been too far from their source and vanished quickly after crossing worlds. Otherwise, something would definitely have happened.

"Ryuudou Temple! There's something terrifying there! As expected of the place where Fuyuki City's ley lines converge! I wonder who's up there? Could it be Caster Mom?"

Mo Shuying pondered who could be at Ryuudou Temple and possess such powerful mental energy. Medea, Caster Mom of the Caster class, could certainly do it, but...

If it really was Caster, then he had no idea whether the Holy Grail War was currently taking place in the outside world, or whether it had already ended and this was the period afterward.

"Looks like I still can't slack off. I need to work hard and grow stronger."

Having suddenly learned that such powerful threats existed outside, Mo Shuying came to a realization.

This was not the time for him to be lazy. Though he had been forcibly dragged into this world and turned into a Heroic Spirit, now that he was here, he had to survive properly. No matter what the road ahead might bring, he at least had to make sure he would not be killed right now.

And so!

"Then! Let me keep sweating it out. I want to see what this Daily Quest can give me!"

With that, Mo Shuying swung himself onto his bike. Though the bicycle was not as fast as he was, it was far less strenuous. His pitiful Endurance could not support him running through the entire area, but with a bicycle, exploring most of it was no longer a dream!

Soon, only ten minutes remained until midnight. At the entrance to Fuyuki Bridge, Mo Shuying returned, panting heavily. He had already made a full circuit around the Singularity, covering an enormous distance.

As Mo Shuying stopped his bike to catch his breath.

Ding~ The host has completed the exploration of the outer perimeter. Current exploration progress is 68%. Ten minutes remain until settlement. Settle now?

"Only 68%?"

Mo Shuying frowned. He had not expected that after circling around for so long, his exploration progress would only be 68%. That was not particularly high.

And judging from the system's meaning, even if he did not settle now, it would forcibly settle the quest ten minutes later. It seemed Daily Quests could only be completed on the same day. Once midnight passed, they no longer counted.

"Ten minutes left. Then I'll wait for it to settle on its own."

Ten minutes were still ten minutes. Mo Shuying did not waste any time and rode back toward the crossroads, taking roads he had not traveled before.

Ten minutes later.

Ding~ Daily Quest settled. The host completed the exploration quest (70%). Rewards issued: 200 experience points. Endurance and Agility have increased slightly.

As soon as the system spoke, Mo Shuying felt a surge of power well up inside him. The experience bar, which had doubled after his last level-up, was instantly filled. Mo Shuying directly broke through to Level 3, with more than half an experience bar remaining.

"Experience seems pretty decent!"

The bliss of leveling up instantly erased Mo Shuying's exhaustion, restoring him to peak condition. He waved his hand to open his status panel and discovered in delight that a tiny plus sign had appeared after the E in his Endurance stat!

It increased! This pitiful physical stat had finally increased! Though the improvement was small, any improvement was good. It meant this body could still be saved!

Before Mo Shuying could finish celebrating, a Check-in notification followed.

"Check-in!"

Ding~ The host has successfully checked in and obtained the innate skill [Grasp of the Undying A++]. The three advanced Check-ins have been used up. Future Check-ins will return to normal.

Grasp of the Undying!

Once every four seconds, a successful basic attack dealt magic damage equal to 4% of maximum health, restored 2% of maximum health, and permanently increased HP by 5, with no upper limit!

"What? Why do I feel like I'm getting farther and farther from being an Assassin? Isn't this a tank talent?"

Mo Shuying felt that his skill tree had somehow gone crooked. An assassin using Grasp of the Undying? In a game, his teammates would curse him out for that.

But on second thought, this was not a game. At the very least, there were no teammates here to curse at him for building Warmog's Armor and taking tank talents as an assassin. Besides, like Gathering Storm, this talent had unlimited growth potential. As long as he could develop it, his future would be limitless!

With that thought, Mo Shuying raised his hand and clenched his fist. A faint green glow wrapped around his entire fist. Though dim, it was still fairly conspicuous in the darkness of night.

"..."

Mo Shuying shook his head helplessly and unclenched his fist, but the green glow did not disappear.

"This..."

Just as Mo Shuying was wondering how to conceal the green light, a sense of danger abruptly flooded his heart!

Mo Shuying turned toward the crossroads. In his perception, that mysterious vortex had appeared again, followed by one vicious presence after another leaping out. Judging from their auras, they were considerably stronger than the Demon Spiders from before.

"They're here!"

Mo Shuying understood. A new batch of magical beasts was invading, and they were stronger than the previous spiders. Without another word, he rode toward the crossroads. The defensive line he had set up might not be able to stop these monsters.

Just then, the system spoke.

Daily Quest refreshed.

Task One: Deal with the newly appeared magical beasts.

Task Two: Physical training. Three hundred push-ups, three hundred squats, three hundred sit-ups, and a thirty-kilometer jog.

Hearing the two Daily Quests, Mo Shuying nearly missed a pedal. The first one was nothing—he was already on his way to do it. But what was with the second task? Would training like this make his hair fall out?

They said being bald increased critical hits, but not everyone could pull off that hairstyle of the strong. Mo Shuying touched his still thick, luscious hair, his eyes filled with reluctance!

"Glug! Glugluglug!"

"Crackle! Crackle!!"

"Glug!"

There were not as many magical beasts this time as there had been Demon Spiders. Including the leader, there were only five in total. By the time Mo Shuying arrived, two had already been turned into dried fish by the high-voltage electricity.

Yes, the magical beasts that had appeared this time were creatures resembling mermen. The ordinary ones were only about half a meter tall, with fish heads and tails, dwarf-like bodies, and steel forks in their hands as they babbled away.

The remaining three mermen gripped their steel forks and warily watched their surroundings. The Merman Leader was also furious. It had no idea what kind of divine artifact the glowing circle of wire fencing was, only that one of its subordinates had touched the fence with its fork and collapsed twitching. Another subordinate had hurried over to pull it away, only to twitch and collapse as well. Soon, the smell of something burning filled the air. Not going to lie, it smelled pretty good!
