He had to admit, C-rank Agility was incredibly fast. At least, it was much faster than a bicycle. Mo Shuying ran at full speed, his burst of acceleration probably exceeding 80 miles per hour.
Unfortunately, Mo Shuying's Endurance was only E-rank, and he was completely spent after just 10 minutes of running.
"Hah! What?! Oh my god, that was terrifying!"
Mo Shuying had truly been scared just now. The mental energy had appeared so suddenly. To Mo Shuying, it was like countless gleaming steel blades piercing his body, carrying an icy killing intent. Luckily, this mental energy was too far from its source and crossed dimensions, disappearing quickly. Otherwise, something bad would definitely have happened.
Ryuudou Temple! There's a great horror there! No wonder it's the convergence point of Fuyuki City's ley lines! Who could be up there? Could it be Caster Mom?
Mo Shuying speculated, wondering who was at Ryuudou Temple and possessed such powerful mental energy. Medea, Caster Mom of the Caster class, could certainly do it, but...
If it really was Caster, then in the outside world, was the Holy Grail War still ongoing, or had it already ended? Mo Shuying had no way of knowing if it was a post-Holy Grail War period.
It seems I still can't be lazy. I need to work hard and become stronger.
Suddenly realizing the existence of such a powerful threat outside, Mo Shuying had an epiphany.
This was not the time for him to be lazy. Although he had been forcibly pulled into this world to become a Heroic Spirit, since he was already here, he had to survive well. No matter what the future held, he had to at least ensure he wouldn't be eliminated now.
And so!
"Alright! Then let me continue to sweat it out! I want to see what this daily quest can give me!"
With that, Mo Shuying hopped back on his bicycle. Although the bike wasn't as fast as him running, it saved energy. Mo Shuying's pitiful Endurance couldn't sustain him running through the entire area, but with the bicycle, exploring most areas wasn't a dream!
Soon, it was only ten minutes until midnight. Mo Shuying returned to the entrance of Fuyuki Bridge, panting heavily. He had already circled the Singularity once, covering a huge distance.
As Mo Shuying stopped his bike and caught his breath,
Ding~ Host has completed the outer spatial exploration. Current exploration progress is 68%. There are ten minutes remaining until settlement time. Settle now?
"Only 68%?"
Mo Shuying frowned. He hadn't expected that after cycling for most of the day, his exploration progress was only 68%, which wasn't very high.
Moreover, from the System's tone, even if he didn't settle now, the System would force a settlement after 10 minutes. It seemed daily quests could only be completed on the same day; they wouldn't carry over past midnight.
"There are still ten minutes. I'll just wait for it to settle automatically then."
Ten minutes was still good. Mo Shuying didn't delay, cycling back towards the intersection, but taking routes he hadn't traveled before.
Ten minutes later.
Ding~ Daily quest settled. Host has completed the exploration quest (70%). Rewards issued: 200 experience points, minor increase to Endurance and Agility.
As soon as the System's voice sounded, Mo Shuying felt a surge of power within him. The experience bar, which had doubled after his previous level-up, was instantly filled, and Mo Shuying directly broke through to Level 3, with a good chunk of experience remaining.
The experience seems decent!
The exhilaration of leveling up instantly dispelled Mo Shuying's fatigue, restoring him to optimal condition. He waved his hand to open his attribute panel and was pleasantly surprised to find a small "+" sign after the "E" in his Endurance stat!
It had increased! His pathetic body attributes had finally improved! Although the increase was small, any improvement was good, indicating that this body still had hope!
Before Mo Shuying could fully revel in his joy, the sign-in reminder immediately followed.
"Sign in!"
Ding~ Host has successfully signed in. Acquired inherent skill [Grasp of the Undying A++]. Three advanced sign-ins have been used. Subsequent sign-ins will return to normal.
Grasp of the Undying!
A valid basic attack every 4 seconds deals 4% of the target's maximum health as magic damage, restores 2% of your maximum health, and permanently increases HP by 5, with no upper limit!
This! I feel like I'm getting further and further away from being an assassin! Isn't this a tank talent?
Mo Shuying felt like his skill tree had gone completely off track. An assassin using Grasp of the Undying? In a game, his teammates would be flaming him for this.
However, Mo Shuying quickly reconsidered. This wasn't a game, at least there were no teammates to flame him for building like a tank or taking tank talents as an assassin. Moreover, this talent, like Gathering Storm, was an unlimited growth skill. As long as he could nurture it, his future potential was limitless.
Thinking this, Mo Shuying raised his hand and clenched his fist. A faint green light enveloped his entire fist. Although the light was dim, it was quite noticeable in the darkness.
"..."
Mo Shuying shook his head helplessly and unclenched his fist, but the green light didn't disappear.
This...
Just as Mo Shuying was wondering how to hide the green light, a sense of crisis instantly flooded his mind!
Mo Shuying turned his head towards the intersection. In his perception, the mysterious vortex had appeared again, followed by one menacing aura after another leaping out. In terms of aura, they were considerably stronger than the Demonic Spiders from before.
"They're here!"
Mo Shuying understood. This was a new wave of monstrous invasions, and they were stronger than the previous spiders. Without another word, Mo Shuying cycled towards the intersection. The defensive line he had set up might not be able to stop these monsters.
And just then, the System's voice rang out.
Daily quest refreshed.
Quest 1: Deal with newly appearing monsters.
Quest 2: Physical training: 300 push-ups, 300 squats, 300 sit-ups, 30 kilometers slow jog.
Mo Shuying almost pedaled into the air when he heard these two daily quests. The first one was fine; he was already on his way to do it. But what was with the second quest? Would this cause hair loss?
Although baldness supposedly boosted critical hits, the hairstyle of a true powerhouse wasn't something just anyone could pull off. Mo Shuying touched his still-thick hair, his eyes filled with reluctance!
"Gulp! Gurgle gurgle gurgle!"
"Crackling! Pop!"
"Gulp!"
The number of monsters that appeared this time wasn't as many as the Demonic Spiders. Including the monster leader, there were only 5 in total. By the time Mo Shuying arrived, two of them had already been turned into dried fish by the high-voltage electricity.
Yes, the monsters that appeared this time were a type of creature similar to Fishmen. The ordinary ones were only about half a meter tall, with fish heads and tails, bodies resembling dwarves, and they were chattering while holding steel tridents.
The remaining three Fishmen held their tridents, warily surveying their surroundings. The Fishman leader was also furious. It didn't know what kind of divine artifact this glowing barbed wire fence was. It only knew that when one of its subordinates touched the wire with a trident, it convulsed and fell, and when another subordinate rushed to pull it away, it also convulsed and fell, and soon a burnt smell emanated. Honestly, it smelled quite good!
