XP : +8.5

Accompanied by a gentle touch, Yan Chong felt as if his eyes had experienced an orgasm. He almost couldn’t help but moan. Although he had killed a few ants previously and obtained some XP, he did not feel anything at all. This was the first time he had truly earned it.

XP was the soul origin. It was the essence of life and was full of mystery. Although there was no detailed explanation in the Inheritance Knowledge, Yan Chong knew that this thing was definitely very important.

Carrying the joy of a novice transmigrator, Yan Chong forced himself to overcome his discomfort and turned Richard’s body over.

Actually, with Yan Chong’s cautiousness, he had considered the possibility of this old schemer pretending to be dead. However, he had successfully activated the [Absorption] function, allowing him to confirm that the other party was dead.

“To be honest, the abilities of the Demon Eye Warlock are really incomparable to this old schemer.” Yan Chong thought gleefully.

Had it not been for the fact that he had already seen Richard’s status and kept vigilant, he would have been severely wounded even if he had survived the assassination. It was the same when he faced Catherine previously. Although the ability for [Reading] was simple, it was still very useful.

A dagger pierced directly into Richard’s heart, making people wonder if his death was a coincidence or if he did it on purpose.

Unexpectedly, there was no blood flowing out from the wound. It’s almost like the dagger did not stab a living human, but a dried corpse. He pulled out the dagger, but there was not a single drop of blood on the blade. It was still cold and shiny.

Curious, Yan Chong activated [Reading] on the dagger.

As the dagger glowed with a faint green light, a few lines of text appeared before his eyes.

Name: Pig Slaughtering Knife

Quality: Excellent +4

Function: Strength +0.3, Agility +0.3

Description: This is the work of the blacksmith, Kane. Although it is called the Pig Slaughtering Knife, believe me, it is very suitable to cut fruits and cut people.

After he saw [Excellent +4], a message came to mind.

The items in the Endless Mainland were divided into six grades: Normal, Excellent, Extraordinary, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.

Generally speaking, [Normal] quality items were not that ordinary. Its lower limit could be as low as a child’s toy, and its upper limit could be as high as a standard steel longsword in the army. It was even possible to cut off hair. In other words, 99% of the items on Earth were at [Normal] grade. The so-called normal was only against extraordinary items.

On the other hand, [Excellent] grade items were of an even higher grade. Not only were the requirements for the raw materials high, but the craftsmanship was also more complicated. Only Blacksmiths had the ability to create them.

As for +4, it was caused by [Enchantment Enhancement]. By inscribing profound runes on an item or adding special potions, the strength or function of the item would be further enhanced. It could also write relevant information.

+4 meant that the level of enhancement was at level 4, not four times. It meant that it was stronger than level 3, but weaker than level 5.

For example, the name and description of the dagger that Yan Chong had used [Reading] on, was written by the creator or the enhancer. Otherwise, he could only see the quality and function of the dagger.

“This is a good dagger. This is the start of the game. Fortunately, it is not an equipment that is in a blank state. It is an Excellent grade weapon with green light.”

Yan Chong brandished the dagger in the air and felt that the air had been cut by the dagger. It was abnormally sharp. This made him suddenly feel a trace of fear. If he had been cut by the dagger just now, even a light touch would have cut off his arm.

“Let’s see what other equipment he dropped.”

Yan Chong lowered his head and began to search the body. Yan Chong didn’t feel any pressure due to the scene being like a game and the fact that Richard’s body didn’t bleed much.

“Yes, this cloak seems to be sewn from some normal cloth. There’s nothing special about it.”

Quality: Normal

Function: This is just an ordinary piece of clothing. Apart from not washing it for a long time, there’s nothing special about it. I suggest you wash it.

“And this pair of pants, a shirt, eh, flowery underpants. This old man is quite coquettish.”

After flipping for a while, Yan Chong used his hand to fan his nose with a look of disdain. “What a poor guy!”

Jumping off the stone platform, Yan Chong walked around the stone chamber. He discovered that other than the strange patterns on the ground and the candle lamps on the walls, there were only a few jars with black and red liquid. They emitted a pungent smell, and there was the smell of blood, paint, and a strong stench of feces.

He activated [Reading]. Surprisingly, there was no information.

“Either this thing is too advanced or it lacks relevant knowledge.” Yan Chong shook his head. This disgusting smell made him give up on his research. He felt that this was not something good.

After observing the wall for a while, Yan Chong pressed a depression on the wall. With a squeak, a stone door suddenly opened on the stone wall.

“It’s indeed a secret chamber. What’s the principle behind it? Pure machinery or some magic alchemy device?” Yan Chong clicked his tongue in wonder as he walked out of the door. There was a deep secret passage outside. It was about three meters tall and one meter wide. There was a glowing bead embedded at every distance above his head.

Name: Moonlight Stone

Quality: Normal +3

Function: Light Illumination, Automatic Charging.

Yan Chong pressed it down after he saw a bump on the wall of the secret chamber. As expected, with a creaking sound, the stone door of the secret chamber closed once again.

“I hope there aren’t any villains out there who use knives to hack at people.”

Yan Chong looked at his Skill column which showed that he had more than 23 hours of cooldown time and walked out of the secret tunnel.

The secret passage was not long. It was about one or two hundred meters long. However, it was not a straight line, so one could not see its end.

At the edge of the town of Dawn, the sun was shining brightly. It shone through the window into an ordinary three-story building.

On the first floor of the small building, in a storage room filled with junk and dust.

Suddenly, a wooden board on the floor moved and flipped open.

“Cough, cough, cough!” Accompanied by a cloud of dust, Yan Chong held onto the floor with one hand while holding a dagger with the other. He pushed open the secret door and peeked out from under the floor. He raised his head and looked at his surroundings. He looked at the dust that filled the air and the piles of miscellaneous items. There was also a smell that was not fresh in the air. Yan Chong could not help but cough a few times.

“Looks like this is an abandoned room. Not many people have come here before. This old man is too lazy. How long has it been since he cleaned?”

Yan Chong walked out of the room and walked around the building. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief. This was an empty three-story building. It seemed to be Richard Miller’s house. No one else lived here.

In the bedroom on the second floor, there was a photo on the bedside table. A young and handsome man wearing a black cloak was in high spirits. Behind him was a magnificent building.

“Is this a picture of Richard when he was younger?” Yan Chong thought in astonishment. Time was indeed a pig slaughtering knife. Such a wonderful young man had become like that when he was old. No wonder his charm was 1.5, surpassing the standards of ordinary people.

“However, there’s a diary here. Let me see what’s written.”

Then, Yan Chong picked up a notebook on his desk.

“12th March of the Year 10395 of the Glory Calendar. The weather is clear. Today is a beautiful day. She’s so beautiful. I think I’m in love… Oh, damn, will what I said back then cause her any trouble…”

“April 2, Year 10395 of the Glory Calendar. The weather is clear. Jenny is a good girl. She can always make others happy. When I’m with her, I can’t help but think about what name our son should have and which general school he should attend… Oh, no, the price of the school district has increased recently. What should we do?”

“August 11, Year 10395 of the Glory Calendar. The weather was gloomy. I confessed to Jenny, but she told me that she already had someone in her heart… I’m so weak. I hate myself. I should have asked who that man was and kicked his butt…”

“February 14th, Year 10396 of the Glory Calendar. The weather was clear. Jenny and Jon invited me to their wedding, and I didn’t refuse… At the wedding, I tried to prove that I was more suitable for her than Jon, but Jon beat me up. I didn’t expect him to be a Bronze knight!”

“Why? Why am I so weak? I’m not even a Professional. A weak chicken like me has no right to pursue love…”

“May 8th, Year 10396 of the Glory Calendar. Heavy rain. Smith told me that he had joined a mysterious organization. Those who joined could trade with the demons… Oh, this is really something to look forward to. Although it would be over if the people of the Radiant Church found out, so what? Can life get any worse? I’ve decided to move to the small town of Dawn on the border of the Empire…”

“7th December, Year 10397 of the Glory Calendar. Little snow. What went wrong with the ritual? Why didn’t my bloodline awaken… No, it’s not supposed to be like that. There must be something wrong…”
