Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

Qi Xie opened the system's trading section.

"I now have three thousand Weird Points..."

Qi Xie entered the keyword "skill".

He had previously obtained 500 Strange Points from the beginner dungeon and 1800 from selling skills, plus the 800 from this time, which gave him a total of 3100 points. However, he exchanged 100 Strange Points for 100,000 Huaxia Coins for emergency use, so he had exactly 3000 points left.

He remembered that one skill required exactly three thousand Weird Points.

The messages disappeared one by one, and soon two option boxes jumped to the top of the system.

[Flesh and Blood Reforging] Grade B - Required to upgrade to Grade A: 500000 Weird Points, 1000 Flesh and Blood Weird Core Fragments

[Unconcealed Vision] Rank D - Required to upgrade to Rank C: 3000 Strange Points

"Even after looking at it again, it still seems so expensive..."

Qi Xie twitched his lips as he looked at the upgrade requirements for [Anonymous Vision].

Don't be fooled by Qi Xie's seemingly quick accumulation of Strange Points. He cleared a beginner dungeon at X level once, a restricted dungeon at X level once, and even sold a D-level Strange Skill. The Strange Points he gained were barely enough to upgrade a C-level skill.

For the average person, let alone accumulating 3,000 points by clearing these two dungeons.

If you have enough of all the odd points you have to buy a low-quality D-rank skill or a level 4 sealing item, you'd be lucky.

"After upgrading, I had absolutely no weird points left."

Qi Xie shook his head:

"Fortunately, I received Bai Yiyi's request in the dungeon. Even if all the strange points are cleared, I'm not worried about money for the time being."

Without hesitation, he pressed the upgrade button.

Your own strength is the foundation of everything. You can earn other things if you lose them, but you only have one life, so you have to spend it when necessary.

As his finger fell.

He suddenly felt a tickle in his eyes, as if a strand of hair had fallen onto his eyeball.

Instinctively, he reached up and brushed his bangs aside, but instantly realized something was wrong.

Previously, in order to prevent the liquid from getting into his hair and falling down to block his vision, making it inconvenient to go into tombs and run in the mountains, he had always kept his hair no longer than his eyebrows. How could it possibly touch his eyes?

As time went on, the sensations coming from my eyes became clearer, and the feeling of foreign objects touching my eyes seemed to increase, as if countless tiny tentacles were wrapped around them.

"Well......"

This feeling was unpleasant. Qi Xie gritted his teeth and rubbed his eyes, but the situation did not improve. On the contrary, the itchy feeling became more and more intense, and even began to sting.

Just like the thing wrapped around the eyeball transforms from soft tentacles into hard, angular insect limbs.

"grass......"

Qi Xie covered his face, his body trembling slightly from the constant stinging pain. He even thought about gouging out his eyeballs and having a new one grow, but he held back after thinking about it.

A full three thousand strange points!

What if this reinforcement is interrupted because of his behavior?

The Traveler System does not offer refunds.

The miser's twisted obsession overcame the pain, even though the stinging pain had turned into a burning agony that made Qi Xie bend over slightly, his hands gripping the sink with bulging veins, but he still managed to restrain the urge to gouge out his eyes.

The tentacles that were frantically eating rice not far away suddenly paused, as if sensing something, and raised one tentacle to glance at Qi Xie.

In the vertical field of vision at the end, countless wisps of normally invisible gray mist were drifting out from the transparent panel, like the smoke from burning incense, and drifting towards Qi Xie's eyes.

After watching for a while, it retreated back into the shadows and continued eating.

After all, its recovery is limited, so we cannot overcomplicate things.

About ten minutes later, Qi Xie suddenly felt the intense pain in his eyeballs subside, replaced by a cool sensation.

"Is it over?"

Qi Xie was slightly out of breath. After a while, he slowly straightened up, took a lighter out of his pocket with a slightly trembling hand, lit it to illuminate the darkness, and looked at the bathroom mirror.

In the mirror, his eyes were covered with dense blood vessels, and his pupils had turned completely blood red, making him look inexplicably eerie.

However, the bloodshot veins were fading, and his blood-red pupils were also fading, gradually turning back to black.

Qi Xie was slightly out of breath. Only after his eyes returned to normal did he swallow, raise his hand to summon the system panel, and bring up his skill panel.

However, a strange broadcast message immediately appeared on the page:

[Unconcealed Vision] (Rank D) — ? — ? — [Spirit Sight] (Rank C) [Warning!][Error!][Upgrade Abnormal!]

[Spirit Sight] (Rank C) Skill Effect:

Now you can see through relatively ordinary spiritual entities that are normally unobservable. You can directly observe strange and other entities at the soul level and subconsciously pay more attention to their potential weaknesses. Furthermore, you can implant a slight influence on rational beings through eye contact—a seemingly insignificant thought or a trivial tendency. The success rate is affected by factors such as the other person's mental will and the duration of eye contact.

"...Error? Upgrade error?"

Qi Xie's face twitched, and he fell silent.

Why would it be wrong? Do I even need to think about the reason?

The bizarre skills that are normally upgraded come from bizarre dungeons or system channels, but his skills come from evil gods. In fact, these skills may not have originally been called by the names displayed by the system. The system just automatically assigned them to bizarre skills with the same effects.

"So the reason I was in so much pain just now was because 'Grace' and the system were fighting..."

Qi Xie rubbed his face, feeling both amused and exasperated, even a little aggrieved.

What kind of mess is this?!

If he wasn't mistaken, a normal person would probably feel nothing when leveling up, and there's a high probability that their skills wouldn't change; they'd just go from D-rank to C-rank. Only he, due to the abnormal leveling up, had the power of 'Grace' and the system mix, generating this [Spirit Visitor] skill.

Fortunately, he was quite satisfied with the skill's effect.

The original [Unconcealed Vision] only allowed him to identify strange occurrences; it was a simple, harmless support skill.

After the upgrade, the original effect was enhanced with the ability to detect weaknesses in combat and implant thought errors through eye contact, making it a decent combat support skill.

But most importantly, these abilities also work on people, which is what makes him happiest.

After experiencing the Jia Yu incident, Qi Xie deeply realized the complexity of the wanderer circle—sometimes, people are more dangerous than the supernatural.

"Not bad, not bad. With the [Spirit Sight], if I encounter Jia Yu again, I am 100% confident that he won't be able to escape."

Qi Xie closed the skill panel and sighed softly:

"These 3000 weird points were well spent, but now we're back to being penniless."

Without the strange element, the 100,000 yuan I exchanged earlier is now down to tens of thousands after spending over the past seven days, and I still have to pay for the hotel lights.

Living in a hotel for an extended period is not a solution; he needs a place to stay.

"It's time to settle the bill with Bai Yiyi."

Qi Xie opened the system panel, intending to find Bai Yiyi, whom he had added as a system friend, but noticed a familiar face flashing by in the live streaming section.

"Um?"
