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

After Wang Xiangxian's sinful remnant soul let out its final lament, it completely dissipated, and its writhing, rotting flesh turned to ashes.

In less than three breaths, only a small clump of ashes remained on the spot, quickly scattered by the night wind, along with the lingering, rapidly fading smell of burnt and malevolent energy in the air.

At the same time, three orbs of light fell to the ground.

The Demon Sword emitted a deep, almost liberating hum, and the light on its blade slowly faded, returning to its original color.

Lin Yu leaned on his sword, slightly out of breath, and watched the enemy completely disappear. His tense nerves finally relaxed.

[Ding! Target BOSS Wang Xiangxian has been completely destroyed.]

Side Quest 1 [Defeat Wang Xiangxian] Completed!

The system notification will sound at an appropriate time.

At the same time, a new and clearer fluctuation of intent emanated from the Han sword in Lin Yu's hand.

"My benefactor... I have avenged my great enemy. I have no way to repay such a great kindness. My daughter and I are willing to serve you as your masters with our remnant souls and sword spirits, to repay your kindness."

A contractual request was clearly transmitted into Lin Yu's consciousness.

This is a case where the Blade Spirit actively chooses a master.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yu focused his mind on the sword and accepted the contract.

An invisible connection was instantly established. He felt a close, blood-related bond between himself and the sword, and between himself and the mother and daughter sword spirits within it.

At the same time, all the information about this Han sword flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

[Mother and Daughter Demon Swords]

Category: Weapons

Attribute: Physical/Special

Grade: Silver

Attack: 100

Durability: 100/100

effect:

Evil Spirit: While dealing physical damage, the resentment of the evil spirit within the sword will simultaneously impact the enemy's soul, causing additional mental damage and pain.

Demonic Sword Spirit: Can actively release the power of the sword spirit, forming a temporary soul power field that slows down and weakens spirit-type enemies.

Soul Nest: A self-contained space within the sword that can store and command ghosts (current limit: 10). The strength of the ghosts stored cannot exceed that of the sword spirit itself. Stored ghosts are under the control of the sword spirit and can be summoned to fight.

Summon Soul: Raise your longsword, consuming durability (1 point per minute), and summon a sword spirit to materialize and fight. The sword spirit possesses independent combat consciousness.

It can also summon ordinary ghosts stored within the sword (no cost).

Yin Weapon: This sword is an extremely Yin weapon. It can devour souls, absorb resentment, ghostly energy, evil energy, Yin energy, etc., to restore its durability and slowly enhance the sword spirit's strength.

If a living person wields this sword, they will be corrupted by Yin energy, which will lower their sanity (Note: However, because the sword spirit is reshaped and regains its sanity, the effect of Yin energy corrupting the wielder is greatly weakened).

Description: A product of the fusion of the Demon Sword and the Rag Tiger Doll.

(Contract already signed) (Contractor: Lin Yu)

Feeling the warm pulse and profound power emanating from the longsword in his hand, Lin Yu felt a surge of excitement.

After all, this is a silver-level weapon. The reason Lin Yu risked running out was precisely for it! Otherwise, he could have simply stayed in his apartment and waited for the game to end.

Of course, Lin Yu wasn't in a hurry to be happy. After all, he still hadn't seen the spoils of killing "God Statue King Xiang Xian". This guy was quite strong. If he hadn't been severely injured by the True Monarch God Statue and lost the Evil Ghost Sword, Lin Yu might not have been able to kill him.

However, just as Lin Yu was about to check the white ball, a new system notification appeared in his mind:

Main quest "Dawn Arrives" completed ahead of schedule.

Players can choose to leave the current game instance at any time.

[Special Note: Due to significant changes in the mission progress, the game time has been greatly shortened.]

To maintain the integrity of the player's gaming experience and exploration rewards, all surviving players can choose to stay in the instance world for a maximum of 24 hours, during which they can choose to leave at any time.

Forced transfer will occur in 24 hours.

"Stay?" Lin Yu was taken aback upon hearing the prompt, then a very strange expression appeared on his face. He couldn't help but mutter, "Who would want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer?!"

Looking around, the ruins of the fortress under the moonlight resembled a vast graveyard, with charred remains, congealed bloodstains, a lingering smell of burnt and bloody stench, and a deathly silence...

However, the very next second after he started complaining, as his gaze swept over the densely packed ruins of tenement buildings and shacks standing silently under the moonlight, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

Wait a minute! The walled city! Right! These things... they all look like materials!

When players enter the game, in addition to completing tasks to obtain rewards, scavenging resources within the scene is also of paramount importance.

Previously, due to time constraints, the severe threat of evil spirits, and the presence of the original inhabitants of the walled city, he could only scavenge some readily available items, and had not collected any materials at all.

But right now, the only living people left in the entire fortress are probably Lin Yu and Wang Junyue, so it seems that its "ownership" is... temporarily... vacant?!

The system message "Maintaining the integrity of the player's game experience and exploration rewards" basically translates to: "You have time, there are still things left to move on the map, figure it out yourselves!"

Lin Yu's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had discovered a gold mine! His previous fatigue and complaints vanished in an instant.

"dismantle!"

Without further ado, Lin Yu didn't even look at the spoils. After all, these things weren't going anywhere, so he could look at them whenever he wanted.

Without saying a word, he immediately opened his system inventory and took out the black iron-grade [Engineering Hammer].

"Get to work!" Lin Yu shouted as he ran into a house, swung the sledgehammer, and smashed it hard against the cracked wall.

Boom! Crash!

A dull, resounding crash echoed through the deathly silent fortress. Bricks and stones flew, and dust billowed everywhere.

Under the power of the game's "rules," the wall was quickly dismantled by Lin Yu.

[Obtained 10 Stones]

[Obtained 5 Iron Coins]

System prompts kept popping up.

Lin Yu didn't stop, transforming into a human demolition machine, swinging his hammer like the wind!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hammer after hammer blow, the walls collapsed, the beams broke, and the doors and windows shattered.

A large amount of basic materials flowed into his system inventory like a stream.

[Obtain 20 pieces of wood]

[Obtain 8 pieces of glass]

[Obtain 5 pieces of cloth]

[Obtained 12 Iron Coins]

……

Lin Yu was immersed in the joy of "harvest" and his efficiency was astonishing.

Soon, he demolished several houses, and his backpack was filled with a large amount of various basic materials.

"Lin...Lin Yu?" A weak and terrified voice came from the direction of Lin Yu's apartment.

Lin Yu stopped hammering and looked back.

Wang Junyue, still pale and barely able to stand by leaning on the door frame, stared dumbfounded at the empty space that Lin Yu had smashed open and the construction hammer in his hand that was still dripping dust.
