There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 320, How Did You Know I Caught a Big Fish?
Suddenly finding myself with nothing to do, it seemed like it was time to rest again.

Xiao Yang, having stopped what he was doing, appeared in the underground temple plaza at the starting point.

Some leaned against the huge, dignified goddess statue without much respect for her.

What is he doing?
He was watching the skeletons in Knights' Land carrying bricks.

Watching a gaunt, pale skeleton carrying bricks back and forth.

Listen to that creaking sound.

This kind of behavior is incredibly boring.

But there wasn't much else to do at the moment.

A statue in his honor is currently being built in the City of Hope.

It is extremely tall and majestic, and stands right next to the statue of the goddess of rest.

More people have joined the City of Hope.

Even now, the survivors still harbor great apprehension about this city that asks of them for nothing and seems almost too perfect.

But it provides free food, safety, and shelter.

They couldn't refuse these.

After joining, they worked with great effort despite their unease, contributing to the construction of the tall building with the statue.

The statue was a project spearheaded by his chief housekeeper, Lena.

Every moment, the Light Advancer is able to receive experience, and in a daze, he can also hear some murmurs.

"Great one, bless me."

"Accept me!"

"I hope I can stay here forever."

To be honest, Xiao Yang had never really liked these fragmented murmurs echoing in his mind.

This explains why he made such a disrespectful gesture as leaning against the goddess statue in this underground temple.

The Glimmer Advancer has leveled up.

After the City of Hope was established, the real AFK leveling began.

The Glimmer Advancer has reached level 25.

It's still far inferior to the Thirty-Seven of the Evil God Devourer.

With the remaining five skill points in the Glimmer skill tree, Xiao Yang maxed out the Disintegration Ray skill.

Disintegration Ray (Light)

Quality: Legend

Effect: Disintegrates the hit object.

Light: Skills in the Light state have a Judgment effect.

The enhancement to Disintegration Ray is still purely a damage increase.

The burning effect from the Glimmer skill point has been changed to Judgment.

Not bad.

It's not just about the perfection of disintegration rays.

The advancement of the Glimmer Advancer also somewhat alleviated the gloom that lingered in Xiao Yang's heart.

It's like your own soul is accusing you of abusing it.

And every now and then, a question would surface deep within my mind.

"why?"

"Is it worth it?"

The more power one gains, the more of these messy problems emerge.

Xiao Yang couldn't give an answer right away.

He originally had two days left, and he planned to use the invitation to visit the elven plane provided by the dungeon gate.

However, this gloom in his heart made him pause his planned pace of liver surgery.

We need to do something!
What to do?
Faced with such a situation.

Not long after.

Xiao Yang appeared by the reservoir once again.

He was holding a fishing rod and carrying a small, bright red bucket.

He charged his phone, which had been switched off for a long time.

Place the fishing rod beside you.

I started scrolling through my phone again after a long time.

During this period, many changes have occurred in the real world.

"Controlled nuclear fusion has been achieved, aliens have been confirmed to have been discovered, the Crimson Knight has become a popular anime character, more and more mutated animals have been discovered, along with some people who have awakened superpowers."

One by one, segment by segment, it felt like the world had been turned upside down in a very short time.

But no problem.

No problem. When Xiao Yang skillfully opened the dance area and began to observe the various vibrant young girls with a critical eye, he realized that this was not a big deal.

He found a sense of relief he once had.

Of course, Xiao Yang also saw some familiar faces in the live stream section.

His childhood sweetheart had unexpectedly become a top influencer in the live streaming section.

He became a live streamer exploring special situations happening around the world.

"Good guy!"

This is quite an achievement.

Xiao Yang was happy for her.

Upon opening the live stream, Xiao Yang immediately saw that the streamer was heading into a deep, dark cave.

There's something in this cave.

A mutated cave salamander grew to enormous size, its entire body covered in scales.

To avoid any major problems, Xiao Yang also started watching the live stream, something he hadn't done in a long time.

Then he saw his childhood sweetheart and the mutated giant cave salamander begin a hand-to-hand combat.

"Well, so it's because he's awakened a special ability."

There is no danger.

No wonder Lin Yingzhen became a top star.

"A super-powered, super-strong girl and her strangely mutated animal friends?"

Something felt strangely subtle.

Xiao Yang finally had a clear sense of the drastic changes in the real world.

In the end, he sent a light stick to Lin Yingzhen as a sign of support.

Then I stopped watching the live stream; it was time to get down to business.

He caught a fish; it was a big fish.

Before long, Xiao Yang appeared in Hope City carrying a large fish. His mask was pulled off, revealing a clear smile on his handsome young face.

The survivors on the field were all somewhat apprehensive when they first saw Xiao Yang.

It was as if I had met a distinguished person, or even a god higher above.

However, Xiao Yang himself was quite down-to-earth.

Holding the enormous fish in his hand, he smiled and greeted every survivor he encountered.

And so, step by step, we finally arrived in front of the tall statue that was under construction.

Occasional rest is still very necessary.

The rapidly changing real world and the city of hope.

And there's this towering statue that rises from the ground.

The face on the statue presents a solemn and unsmiling expression.

But in reality, Xiao Yang prefers and is more comfortable with the version of himself that he was as a naive and foolish college graduate.

Lena was summoned.

The face of the tall statue has been modified.

He is no longer unsmiling.

It was not her smile, but her unrestrained and radiant joy.

Okay, that's a stiff, almost artificial smile.

If I had to put it bluntly, it was somewhat comical.

But that's exactly what Xiao Yang wanted.

This is his smile.

An exaggerated curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I will protect the real world, I will save you, I will do all of this, using the name Xiao Yang."

He simply uttered this sentence.

The gloom in my heart was completely blown away.

Xiao Yang's mental fortitude and ability to adjust his state of mind are indeed top-notch.

Most importantly, he knew what he wanted.

“This is very important.”

There are still some things to do today, but of course, one thing cannot be forgotten.

Having learned from his previous fishing experience, Xiao Yang used a concealment technique throughout the entire fishing trip to avoid scaring the fish.

He succeeded.

A huge fish took the bait, as big as a person.

How did you know I just caught such a big fish?
