Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

Jiang Lingyi leaned over to take a look at Bai Xi's title, then paused slightly.

If you've played Clash of Clans a lot, you can tell how powerful a title's effect is just by looking at it.

Putting everything else aside, simply giving away a free feat is already incredibly powerful. For a character card that typically only has eight feats, an extra feat means one more skill that can be maxed out. In role-playing games, this one skill will greatly enhance the character card's versatility.

Besides that, this skill called "jumping slash" is also somewhat exaggerated in strength.

The double check for the original jump attack has been eliminated, requiring only a single check, increasing the margin for error; the damage of the jump attack has also been increased from 1d4 to 1d6.

This can be described as a comprehensive enhancement!

As for the requirement of melee weapons for this skill, that's not a problem at all!

After all, once you use this skill, any melee weapon will deal more damage than a single shot from a Pistol. What more could you ask for?

"Is this the reward for destroying the old? I love it!"

Bai Xi quickly equipped the "Jump Slash Master" title, a smile on his face.

If the title weren't prohibited from being traded, it could definitely fetch at least several hundred ancient coins on the trading market.

Just as Bai Xi was in a good mood, even feeling a little like whistling, he heard the bus announcement:

"Dear passengers, this bus has arrived at its final stop, Dajulu. Please disembark in an orderly manner..."

Bai Xi stood up, turned around to look at Jiang Lingyi, whose gaze remained calm and serene, and then nodded to her.

"See you tomorrow?"

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Then, a clear, gentle smile appeared on Jiang Lingyi's face. She stepped out of the car before Bai Xi.

As Bai Xize walked, he replied to the words of thanks from Shuangtu Bangdi and Mutouren. Shuangtu even asked if they wanted to continue rehearsing together tomorrow.

However, the thought that this guy was a cross-dresser gave Bai Xi an inexplicable headache...

Damn, that's insane.

I'm outta here, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Stepping off the bus, Bai Xi took one last deep breath, then pressed the exit game button.

........................

As her consciousness gradually transitioned from deep sleep to light sleep, and after another half hour, Bai Xi stretched her arms out of the cramped game pod, yawned, and then sat up.

Bai Xi casually turned off the alarm clock on the table, stretched her legs out of the game pod, and felt exceptionally refreshed.

"This is really good for resting. At this rate, I probably won't need a bed anymore."

Bai Xi turned his neck and muttered to himself.

Afterwards, Bai Xi went to the bathroom in the cramped rented room to begin his daily washing up. After rinsing his mouth briefly, he looked up at the city outside the window.

Ningcheng was still as beautiful as ever, bathed in bright sunshine. Bai Xi stared at the city for a while before finally looking away.

What a wonderful day.

This peaceful daily routine has been going on for a long time. Although we're a little strapped for cash, we're not starving.

Making a living from gaming sounds unreliable. But if you don't have high material desires, what profession is unreliable?

It's much better than the previous period.

Bai Xi wiped her mouth, removed the toothpaste and water from her mouth, and walked out of the bathroom.

Just then, Bai Xi heard his phone ring. He assumed it was a message from one of his bosses and naturally picked it up.

Until the sender's name appeared on Bai Xi's phone screen. The glowing screen illuminated Bai Xi's lowered eyelids and her slightly paused breath.

[Bai Miaomiao: Your family is asking you when you're coming home.]

Why at this particular time?

Bai Xi unlocked her phone, scrolled through the chat history, and finally her gaze settled on this message.

He hesitated for a long time before finally answering:

Baek Hee: I don't plan to go back this year.

[Bai Miaomiao: This year is my dad's 60th birthday. I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain if I didn't plan to go back.]

[Bai Xi: Can't we go back this year?]

[Bai Miaomiao: I don't know. I'm just a messenger. My father told me to come find you. If you don't want to go back, I'll come to your door and take you back.]

Bai Xi stared at the chat history on her phone, silent for a long while before typing:

Bai Xi: Let's wait a bit longer, we'll talk about it later when we have time.

Bai Miaomiao: Okay, I'll wait for you, brother.

Bai Xi tossed his phone onto the bed and sighed. He stared at the ceiling for a long time before suddenly sitting up.

My dear sister spoke up, saying that our cheap father was calling her home for dinner. Based on Bai Xi's experience, there's definitely something fishy going on.

It doesn't look like a good thing at all.

It can't be that they heard you were talking about family history and unofficial stories outside, and then came to clean house, can they?

However, thinking about it, I really should find time to go back home. There are still some things to take care of at home, and it's not good to keep staying there.

Bai Xi picked up her phone again, looked at it for a while, and then put it down helplessly.

Then, I sat up and started my daily cyber-grinding and liver-suppliing work, which continued until midnight.

Then, they re-entered the game pod and entered Sunset City.

........................

Early in the morning, Jiang Lingyi stood on the street, her hands in the pockets of her trench coat, looking at the S City Police Station in front of her, waiting quietly.

She felt much lighter on her feet today, though she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination. It was as if her speed, which hadn't improved in a long time, had suddenly increased noticeably.

This happened after I finished playing games last night.

Jiang Lingyi didn't know what was going on, but she didn't think much of it. There are many similar phenomena; it could be psychological, and time would have to tell.

She simply stood on the street, waiting quietly, until a middle-aged man in plain clothes with dark circles under his eyes quickly walked out of the police station.

Good morning, Captain Lin.

Jiang Lingyi nodded to the middle-aged man, who then quickly shook her hand. Clearly, he had been working overtime for quite some time.

"I won't ask any unnecessary questions, let's get straight to the point. Did you call me over so early in the morning because there's something special?"

Jiang Lingyi asked directly, and the middle-aged man called Team Leader Lin nodded heavily, then sighed.

"There's been news about the case you've been investigating."

Team Leader Lin took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, asked Jiang Lingyi for directions, lit one, watched the smoke rings rise into the air, and then spoke:

"We've initially identified the target. However, things are getting increasingly complicated."

"What exactly happened?"

Jiang Lingyi calmly pressed for an answer, and Captain Lin rubbed his temples:

"Or shall we go inside and talk?"

As he spoke, he turned around and uttered his last few words:

"Advisor Jiang? Or rather, Investigator Jiang?"

"Just call me Jiang Lingyi, I'm used to it."

After Jiang Lingyi finished speaking, she followed Captain Lin into the S City Police Station.
