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

However, Lin Yu could accept the price, so he bought one.

As for the blueprints for the Level 6 apartment or any subsequent blueprints, no one has even seen them for sale.

随后林宇还去买了3组钢锭以及5合金锭，总共花费55游戏币（合金锭2游戏币1块）。

The final balance is 112 game coins (for delivery fees).

Looking at the game coins in his hand that had quickly shrunk to two digits, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Money is something that can't be used anywhere."

Now that everything is prepared, the next step is to practice drawing talismans.

Lin Yu didn't rush to the Time Chamber in the entertainment area immediately. Instead, he practiced drawing talismans on white paper and with ink in his apartment.

After all, the Time Cabin charges by the day, and he has never learned calligraphy and his foundation is too poor. It would be a bit of a waste for him to practice in the cabin. He might as well use his remaining free time to practice first.

Therefore, in order to save some game currency, Lin Yu planned to practice his talisman-drawing skills in his apartment for four or five days, then go to the Time Hut for formal practice, and finally use the remaining day for pre-game checks and preparations.

After all, even last-minute preparation can be effective.

Five days passed quickly. During this time, Lin Yu practiced drawing talismans with a brush. In order to learn more accurately and prevent mistakes, he even went to the entertainment area and spent game coins to find a teacher to teach him for a period of time.

During this period, he also tried drawing talismans several times and finally concluded that he seemed to have some talent. After only five days of practice, he was able to successfully draw one-fifth of a talisman, which gave him a lot of confidence.

On the morning of the sixth day, Lin Yu stepped into the entertainment area again, full of energy.

The goal is clear: the Time Cabin.

Guided by the waiter, he walked through a corridor filled with strange energy fluctuations and finally stopped in front of a simple wooden door.

There were no signs on the door, only a coin-operated slot.

He then explained, "Dear player, the Time Hut is charged daily, at 1 game coin per day. During each break, players can use it for a maximum of one month (30 days). Please confirm the number of days you wish to recharge."

(Note: This time limit is a patch. My writing was too rough, and as I was writing, I realized that this time cabin would be too overpowered without a limit, so I had to add a patch. I apologize for that.)

"Three days." Lin Yu thought for a moment and decided to recharge three game coins first. After all, it's better to listen to advice than to be idle. Lin Yu didn't think he was a person who could endure loneliness. He didn't think he could stand being in a pure white space without communication for too long. Therefore, it was better to adapt slowly. Three days would be a good amount of time.

After the game coin was inserted, the wooden door slid open silently, revealing a pure, boundless white space behind it.

The light was soft and even, without any trace of a light source, and the air was fresh but carried an unnatural sense of "emptiness".

Absolute silence enveloped the place, as if even the passage of time had become blurred.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The wooden door behind him closed and disappeared silently, and he was completely immersed in this pure white secret realm.

"As expected... this kind of environment is really oppressive. People would go crazy if they stayed here for too long," Lin Yu muttered to himself.

This absolute solitude and monotony is a tremendous test of a person's will.

He dared not waste any time and immediately took out the prepared items from his backpack: a square table, a chair, a thick stack of yellow talisman paper, an inkstone, a writing brush, and so on.

With preparations complete, Lin Yu immediately threw himself into frantic talisman drawing practice.

He first focused on the [Exorcism Talisman], which is the most basic talisman recorded in the Qingshan Dao Talisman Collection.

He cleared his mind of distractions, recalling the results of the five-day intensive training. With his wrist suspended in the air, he focused his mind on the tip of the pen, slowly channeling the faint magical power within his body into the talisman pen.

"Hmph..." Failure.

"Pfft..." The talisman spontaneously combusted.

The lines are crooked... the magic is interrupted...

In the first few days, failure was the main theme. The headaches from mental exhaustion, the weakness from depleted mana, and the growing restlessness in the absolute silence and monotonous whiteness crashed against Lin Yu's nerves like a tide.

He could only force himself to stop, meditate, regulate his breathing, and restore his energy and magical power before returning to practice.

Monotony, repetition, failure, recovery... the cycle repeats endlessly. Time loses its meaning here; only the piles of discarded talisman paper on the table and the dwindling cinnabar in the inkstone bear witness to his efforts.

Time flows from the tip of the pen. Five days…ten days…half a month…

Lin Yu may indeed have some talent in talismans, or perhaps it's due to the blessing of the True Lord; his progress is clearly visible.

During this period, the lines on the talisman became longer and more continuous.

He has become more precise in controlling his mental power and more adept at infusing magic.

Finally, a month has passed.

Lin Yu concentrated his mind and focused his spirit, his brushstrokes flowing like dragons and snakes. The lines of cinnabar extended smoothly and precisely on the yellow talisman paper, and the faint but steady spiritual light flickered with the movement of the brush tip.

As the last stroke was made and the brush returned to its starting position, the patterns on the entire talisman suddenly lit up. Then the light subsided, and a complete [Exorcism Talisman], radiating a faint spiritual energy fluctuation, lay quietly on the table.

"It's a success!" Lin Yu couldn't help but exclaim softly, his tired face filled with excitement and disbelief.

"Wow! It lit up! Brother did it! Awesome!" At the same time, a clear child's voice rang out from inside an eight-sided Han sword leaning against the wooden table.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "You also deserve credit, Yue'er."

Yes, the "person" speaking was Liu Yue'er, who, like Liu Xiangxiang, had become a sword spirit.

This is something Lin Yu discovered within the past month: Liu Yue'er and Liu Xiangxiang, as sword spirits, can communicate with him. Furthermore, as long as they don't leave the sword, they won't deplete the Demon Sword's durability.

This is great news. Lin Yu was able to spend a month in this dull and boring white space by talking to the two of them from time to time (there is a special disposal area for food waste and excrement in the hut).

In addition, the ability to communicate smoothly with the Blade Spirits has another advantage: in certain special environments, Lin Yu can have Liu Xiangxiang and Liu Yue'er help him keep watch or remind him of certain things. In short, there are many benefits.

Of course, Liu Yue'er actually communicates with Lin Yu more. Liu Xiangxiang rarely talks to Lin Yu unless he calls out to her. Otherwise, she usually doesn't speak.

Lin Yu picked up the talisman, feeling a warm touch on his fingertips and sensing a faint fluctuation of magical power emanating from it.

Although it's just a levelless talisman with an attack power of only 10 points, far inferior to the black iron-grade talismans drawn by Wang Xiangxian, it's still of great significance.

More importantly, this was the first talisman he had personally hand-drawn and that had actually taken effect, a breakthrough from zero to one.
