Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 26: Speculations about the Era

At four o'clock in the morning, Yang Xu returned to the community while hiding in the wall, and entered the mirror world through the mirror he used when he left.

It was not until he set foot on his own territory that Yang Xu finally let go of his cautiousness along the way.

"It's really more comfortable to be in your own territory."

Yang Xu glanced at the empty base, confirmed that there was no mirror ghost at home, and relaxed. He began to carefully count today's gains.

During this expedition, they encountered two monsters, the Light Moth and the Kamaitachi, and among the four people in their team, he was definitely the one who gained the most.

The first is experience points.

After two battles, he was able to reach level 4, and was very close to level 5.

Then comes the points.

The points of the Tiger Moth have to be divided equally among the four people, which is almost negligible. The focus is still on the Kamaitachi, which has settled two large points in a row, one is the normal kill settlement, 42 points, and the other is the extra reward of the star crossing, 105 points.

Adding the points accumulated before, Yang Xu's points balance now reached 154 points.

What remained was the land. In two battles, he had obtained a total of 4 land plots, including a 'rare land plot'.

[Rare Plots: After conducting archaeological excavations, you will definitely obtain a rare or higher-level treasure]

Guaranteed rare level!

Yang Xu was pleasantly surprised. After all, Wuxi's 'War Skull Crusher' was only of the Excellent grade. He had seen the axe's attributes before; it was indeed very powerful. And the Rare grade was a level higher than the Excellent grade. What would he find?
Yang Xu couldn't wait any longer and ran to the edge of the territory. He placed the four plots of land one by one according to the location of the buildings in the community.

Including the one plot of land left unexcavated yesterday, he now has exactly five squares to be excavated.

Yang Xu directly spent 50 points to exchange for a new shovel.

In order to leave some surprises, Yang Xu saved the only rare plot for last and opened four ordinary ones first.

The first piece, empty. No big deal.

The second piece was still empty. Yang Xu still said nothing and moved on to the next piece.

By the third piece, it was finally shipped!
You have initially excavated a plot of land.

You unearthed a hard cloth bag from some ancient era.

[Archaeological shovel durability -1, 2/5 remaining.]

Small storage bag

【Type: Storage Equipment】

[Affiliation: Fourth Era]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Description: This storage bag, carried by a cultivator from the world of cultivation, was originally filled with items that have long since turned to dust over countless years, but the bag itself has withstood the test of time. Once equipped, it provides 1 cubic meter of storage space. Each time you store or retrieve an item, you consume Qi or Mana. Living creatures cannot be stored.]

[Equipment Requirements: Only skins from the Second, Fourth, and Seventh Eras can be equipped. The Seventh Era skin must be four stars or higher and its internal force must be converted into true energy before it can be used.]

Storage bags!
Yang Xu was surprised. Having read many novels about cultivation, he certainly understood what this thing was.

Even though it is only 1 cubic meter, this small bag is much more practical than weapons and armor, especially since he doesn't have any storage equipment. Having a storage bag would make many things in his daily life much more convenient.

Unfortunately, this thing can only be stored and accessed in the equipment bar, which means it can only be used when in skin state, and he himself cannot use it in reality.

The Taoist boy skin currently has two equipment slots, one of which contains a hatchet, and the other is still empty.

Yang Xu naturally stuffed the storage bag into the empty slot without hesitation, and then threw all the mirror ghost fragments he had defeated in the past two days into the storage bag. During the process, Yang Xu carefully checked the Qi consumption. The instructions mentioned that storing and retrieving items would consume Qi, and he was worried that the consumption would be high. In the end, after storing a few cards, the Qi bar didn't move at all.

He took out the card again, stored it repeatedly, and studied it carefully. Only then did he realize that each time he stored or retrieved something, it only consumed 0.1 of his true energy.

Yang Xu immediately felt relieved. This amount of consumption and loss could not keep up with the speed at which his true energy would automatically recover. He could use it boldly at other times.

Coming back to his senses, Yang Xu looked back at the panel and noticed the last equipment requirement.

It can only be equipped in the second, fourth and seventh eras. The seventh era specifically mentions that it needs to be upgraded to a certain level first and the internal force converted into true energy before it can be used.

Internal force transformed into true qi?
Yang Xu was stunned. Of course he knew the term "internal force". It was everywhere in various martial arts novels.

And Mo Yu's Jinyiwei skin was also mentioned to be a skin from the Seventh Era. So, the Seventh Era should be a martial arts era, right?

Yang Xu was thoughtful.

The worldviews of martial arts and cultivation are indeed connected in a sense. In many cultural works he has read, the martial arts world is the product of the decline of the overall energy level of the cultivation world. Therefore, when a martial arts master breaks through to a certain level, the internal force will gradually be transformed into true energy, and he will glimpse the threshold of the cultivation system.

That would be interesting if it were true!

If the Fourth Era is the Era of Cultivation and the Seventh Era is the Era of Martial Arts, and the two are of the same origin, then what about the Second Era, which also allows the use of storage bags?
According to the law of the world's descending level, the Second Era should be a world of a higher level than the world of cultivation. The Era of True Immortals? The Era of Mythology?
It's really possible!
Yang Xu had noticed that there was a sentence written on the storage bag: 'Each storage and retrieval requires consumption of Qi or Mana'.

True Qi is the energy of a cultivator, and isn't mana the hallmark of an immortal? In those myths and legends, the various immortals in heaven all use mana to unleash their magical powers or activate various magical weapons to fight.

Feeling satisfied that he had obtained a very important piece of information, Yang Xu put away his storage bag and continued to work.

After digging for another ten minutes, the tip of the shovel suddenly hit an obstacle, and Yang Xu's eyes lit up.

The fourth plot of land unexpectedly appeared again...

Before he could finish being happy, a grayish-white object suddenly jumped out from under the ground and landed in front of Yang Xu.

On a square wall, hands, feet, eyes and a mouth grew out, creating a very familiar image of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Tubi, LV4.

Yang Xu was slightly disappointed, but the Tu Bi was not bad, and the Tu Bi fragments were something he really needed.

After Tu Bi appeared in front, he roared and began to attack.

Yang Xu hurriedly retreated to create some distance, holding the hatchet in his hand.

Compared to the first time he met Tu Bi the day before yesterday, Yang Xu is now much more mature in terms of level and combat experience. On the contrary, the opposing Tu Bi has been downgraded to a lower level, so the battle is not as difficult as the first time.

The fireball and the hatchet work together to stop and sometimes chop a few times when they stop, and when they don't stop, they run away and throw the fireball from time to time, easily and happily dealing with the painted wall.

After reaching level four, the agility of the Taoist boy's skin increased to 13 points. Now Yang Xu's running speed is even faster than Tu Bi. With such a crushing speed, the battle is no longer a suspense.

In less than three minutes, Tu Bi had been tortured to death by him. Finally, he fell to the ground wailing in a fireball and was motionless.

Kill a level 4 Tubi, gain 33 experience points, 4 points, and 1 Tubi fragment.

[Hit the same vital spot of the Mirror Ghost three times in a row within 1 second, and gain an additional 'Wall-Painting Fragment'*1.]

Yang Xu picked up the two wall-painting fragments on the ground and looked at the experience points, 238/330. The experience points for a single kill were indeed much higher than those for a team.

If he kills two or three more monsters like this, he will reach level 5.

Level 5 will unlock the second skill. For all skins, level 5 will be a qualitative change.
