Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

Lin Yu raised the Azure Rose, without infusing it with demonic power, and simply fired a double-barreled shot, aiming at a relatively intact stone wall on the side of the basement.

boom! ! !

A deafening roar exploded in the basement, several times more powerful and intense than the sound of Yan Shuangying's twin gunshots. The immense recoil caused Lin Yu's arm to tremble slightly.

Two large holes, almost touching each other, suddenly appeared on the hard stone wall.

The gravel and powder fell down in a flurry.

This power is comparable to that of large-caliber firearms in reality.

"Hiss..." Lin Yu gasped.

This is just a normal shot. If you add a charged shot, or inject demonic power... he can't even imagine how terrifying the power would be.

He then tried to infuse a wisp of magic into [Charged Shot].

A slight hum came from inside the gun, and a faint dark red light gathered at the muzzle. He chose to release level 1 charge.

boom! ! !

Another loud bang, but this time the sound was deeper and heavier.

This time, an even larger crater was punched into the stone wall, its edges covered with radial cracks, and an invisible shockwave spread out, causing dust to fly up from the ground.

"Good! Good! Good!" Lin Yu said "good" three times in a row, his face full of excitement.

The gun's power completely met and even exceeded his expectations. Although its rate of fire was a weakness, its terrifying power and diverse attack modes more than made up for it.

As for the bizarre incident of his divine power being swallowed and his dual pistols being retrieved... although he was full of questions, since he had received such a powerful compensation, he was too lazy to investigate further.

Those things involving rules and game systems are clearly beyond his current level of understanding.

The most urgent task is to make good use of this newly acquired weapon.

Lin Yu contentedly clipped the Azure Rose to his waist and turned his gaze to the three statues in the center of the basement.

At this moment, the statue has completely lost all its spirituality.

The surface cracks resemble shattered porcelain, covering the entire stone statue, with small fragments of stone constantly peeling off from the cracks.

The solemn and divine aura that once existed has vanished, leaving only a cold, deathly silence and a sense of fragility that could collapse at any moment.

"It seems it can only be used once," Lin Yu realized.

Following this line of thought, there should only be one place in this game where the sky god Aethros bestows blessings.

Therefore, the other four deities must also each have similar statues and ritual sites hidden within them.

"Five divinely blessed weapons..." Lin Yu's eyes gleamed.

Although the process was tortuous, he had already tasted the benefits. A single [Azure Rose] was already so powerful; if he could collect all five...

Even if the other weapons aren't as powerful as the Azure Rose, they shouldn't be too weak either; they should at least be at the Silver level.

The thought spread through his mind like wildfire.

His new goal became to find statues and offerings of other gods and acquire more blessed weapons.

Of course, this goal is still difficult to achieve at present, and Lin Yu needs to continue to explore.

Putting his mind aside, Lin Yu no longer lingered in this basement whose value had been completely exploited.

He and his shadow clone quickly returned to the castle hall along the wooden stairs, then passed through the dark corridors and returned to the street.

There are still several hours until nightfall.

Having acquired a weapon capable of truly killing ghouls, Lin Yu's desire to hunt ghouls and complete the [Demon Hunter] title quest was stronger than ever.

But ghouls only roam at night, so he'll have to wait.

"We can't waste the daytime either," Lin Yu decided.

"Let's continue splitting up and searching for clues about the deities and sacrificial offerings," Lin Yu instructed his shadow clone.

"Understood, main body, be careful." The shadow clone nodded and quickly blended into the shadows of the street.

Lin Yu himself chose a different direction—to go to the edge of town, to a relatively dilapidated and potentially overlooked area.

He moved quickly through the ruins.

Along the way, he encountered other players several times.

Sometimes they are lone wolves, sometimes small groups of three or five, keeping a wary distance from each other.

Therefore, the previous situation of being inexplicably bothered did not occur.

Lin Yu didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble; any conflict or meaningless communication would be a waste of time.

……

Time passed quickly, and the afternoon's search yielded little result.

Most of the area was so thoroughly destroyed that there are very few valuable written records.

Occasionally, some blurry murals or stone carvings are discovered, but due to their age and weathering, it is difficult to interpret their meaning.

The only clue he could think of was a trident pattern painted in dark blue pigment on a broken wall near the abandoned dock area. It had faded considerably and reminded him of the sea god Pontos.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find any other clues at the dock, so he could only silently memorize the location and then cover it up to prevent other players from finding it.

The afterglow of the setting sun tinged the mist with an eerie dark red hue, and the daylight was rapidly passing.

Lin Yu and his shadow clone met in a relatively secluded corner of the ruins.

The search for the shadow clones also yielded no breakthroughs, only bringing back some scattered records about the gods, lacking specific location information.

"It seems it won't be that easy." Lin Yu wasn't too disappointed. If the Five Gods' Blessing were so easy to find, it would be abnormal.

"Focus on the present moment: hunt down the ghouls."

……

Soon, night fell over the town once again.

Lin Yu and his shadow clone moved swiftly through the town's streets and ruins, like two shadows blending into the night.

They avoid safe areas where players might gather, instead choosing secluded, dark, and desolate corners—places that are usually the ghouls' favorite hunting grounds.

However, things didn't go as planned.

It's so quiet!

The roars, fighting, and screams that filled the air on the first night... all disappeared.

The entire town fell into a deathly, unsettling stillness, with only the faint sound of the wind.

"Something's not right." The shadow clone lowered its voice, its tone grave. "They were causing such a ruckus last night, how come we can't see a single one tonight?"

Lin Yu frowned. These guys actually went into hiding on the second day?

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose from the direction of the town's central square in the distance!

Human voice!

Lots of human voices! There were also deliberately hushed commands and the soft sounds of weapons clashing.

Lin Yu and his shadow clone rushed forward to check the situation and discovered that a large number of players were out in the dark.

The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood the reason.

"It's a team of sunny young people." The shadow clone glanced at the players and said, "I recognize a few of them."

Lin Yu understood.

It seems that the sunny young man has gained the trust of most players and plans to take the initiative at night to hunt down or even capture ghouls alive.

"That's really... a big deal." Lin Yu couldn't help but admire the appeal and initiative of the sunny young man.

But this undoubtedly disrupted his hunting plans for the night.
