You Have to Come Back
After settling in, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi left the city and began the enjoyable process of farming Psionic Points and increasing their skill proficiency.
While Zombie retain their physical attributes from when they were alive, they are stiff and lack intelligence. They are easy to deal with as long as you know to attack their head, which is their weakness.
Furthermore, when encountering too many Zombie, the two also have "WD-03 Disguise Fluid" to deceive Zombie.
After five days of continuous fighting, the two had earned over 20,000 Psionic Points. They also discovered that Zombie did drop treasure chests, but the drop rate was extremely low.
The vast majority of Zombie are transformed from ordinary humans, and given Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's strength, the drop rate was already very low.
When encountering Remnants Zombie, especially Elite Tier or Boss Tier Remnants Zombie, killing the target will also drop treasure chests, but most of them are water tanks and do not drop any top-tier equipment or items.
But that's not the main point. In these five days, both of them have significantly improved their combat skills.
Bai Xiaowen's three-star skill [Talisman Switching] was upgraded to level 3 while continuously fighting with the Straw Demon Soldier. With the bonus from the title of the Ultimate Academic Ace, he enjoyed the effect of level 4 ahead of schedule.
The Common Tier enhancement effect is Energy-Saving Casting. There is a 30% chance to return the Divine Might consumed when casting [Talisman Switching].
The benefit of this enhancement is not high, but it's better than nothing. Bai Xiaowen's burst output method relies on the Desert Eagle's Rapid-Fire Mode. The Divine Might saved can extend the duration of the Rapid-Fire Mode by tens of seconds, so it is useful after all.
In addition, the two-star mutated skill [Intimidation] has been upgraded to level 4, and after the title bonus, it has become level 5, with the cooldown time reduced to 4 minutes.
In comparison, Li Shuyi made greater progress. All three of her combat skills, [Double Slash], [Savage Charge], and [Pseudo- Sanction Dagger], were upgraded to level 4, and she obtained the enhancement effect.
[Double Slash] LV4 Excellent Enhancement Effect: Triple Slash: Launches three consecutive slashes at the target, each slash dealing 90% damage.
[Savage Charge] LV4 Excellent Enhancement Effect: Forced: Targets with lower Strength than you will be knocked back and briefly floated in the air, unable to defend themselves.
[Sanction Dagger (Fake)] LV4 Excellent Enhancement Effect: Charge: After a slightly longer charging time, launch two consecutive cross slashes at the target, dealing four hits of damage and inflicting a bleeding effect.
All three enhanced effects are very practical. [Double Slash] and [Pseudo -Sanction Dagger] are self-explanatory; their multi-hit damage is an effective way for Li Shuyi to quickly stack the two passive skills, Thunderwind Combo and Combat Zeal. The weakness of reduced single-hit damage of these two skills is gradually compensated for as the level increases.
[Savage Charge] is also quite effective. Li Shuyi's current strength value has reached 20 points, which is quite high. Both the knock-up and knockback effects are super hard crowd control, but comparatively speaking, the floating state after the knock-up is more suitable for following up with continuous output.
Upgrading skills naturally requires spending Psionic Points; the two spent a total of 13,000 points, but this was a necessary expense to enhance their strength.
Without those five days of free time to farm points in the Spirit Realm, the two of them would have had to go to the Psionic Training Ground in the real world to upgrade their skills, which are charged by the hour.
On the eve of his return, Bai Xiaowen hosted a banquet for Cecilia and his knights.
Upon learning that Bai Xiaowen would be leaving the Kane Plane in nine hours, Cecilia wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, pushed away the plate in front of her, and left expressionlessly. Tim, Marco, Phil, and the other knights were somewhat embarrassed. They weren't fools; they could see their lord's feelings for Bai Xiaowen, and they all shrank back and ate their food quietly.
Kitz asked casually, "Boss, what do I do?"
"That depends on your choice. You can come with me and adventure in different worlds. Of course, you can also stay, but the price for staying is that you cannot leave the territory of White Stone Fief," Bai Xiaowen said.
Although the Vampire Kitz occupied one of Bai Xiaowen's summoned creature slots and possessed considerable combat power, Bai Xiaowen respected his opinion. In this regard, Bai Xiaowen specifically consulted the Spirit Realm Rules. As summoned creatures with their own consciousness, Kitz and the Zombie Doctor could remain within his territory.
"Of course I'm going with you. I also want to see if the girls in other dimensions are even hotter," Kitz chuckled slyly.
Zombie Doctor: "Then I'll..."
"You stay," Bai Xiaowen said.
"Ah? Leaving a great scientist like me in this dimension lacking modern instruments... This is an enormous waste! You know your decision will bring life sciences to a standstill..."
Bai Xiaowen interrupted him, "You're staying on a mission. Production of the Plague Bane is no longer needed, but the Zombie Lure Fluid and Zombie Camouflage Fluid must continue to be produced to help Cecilia's army fight the Zombie and reclaim the land occupied by Zombie. I will recall you using the Black Soul Stone when needed."
Zombie Doctor, his large head shrank back, muttered grumbling, "Another mission. I've already seriously exceeded the limit for the number of orders..."
Do you have a problem with that?
"No," Zombie Doctor answered quickly.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and then announced the end of the banquet. He was a little worried about Cecilia's mood.
That evening, Cecilia took the initiative to find Bai Xiaowen.
Cool lips, fiery kisses, falling like raindrops.
Faced with Cecilia, a level 6 Boss Tier, Bai Xiaowen, a Mental Specialist, was utterly powerless and was pushed down...
The moonlight in the Kane Plane, gentle as water, illuminated this restless night.
"I'll take good care of everything here, Dio... You must come back!"
"I promise, I will come back. Actually, my real name isn't Dio Skellboom, I..."
"No, you are my Dio... Names don't matter."
The two embraced, Cecilia's cheeks flushed, and she nestled in Bai Xiaowen's arms, sweetly closing her eyes.
The next day, sunlight streamed in through the window.
On the large bed, Bai Xiaowen was nowhere to be found. However, Cecilia remained curled up like a cat, fast asleep, unwilling to wake up for a long time.
There was a knock on the door, and a maid quietly entered.
"Lady?"
Cecilia opened her eyes and sat up. The corner of the blanket slipped silently down her Slippery, snow-white skin.
"Excuse me, madam, would you like to rest a little longer?"
"No need. There are still many things to do," Cecilia said calmly. The demure womanhood of last night had vanished without a trace, replaced by the imposing aura of the White Stone City.
