Chapter 53: Perseverance (5 Updates)

In the game.Fang Yu opened his eyes.

Then, he realized a thin blanket had been placed over him.

The blanket was new, only it had some footprints and dust on it.

It must have been the new blanket his second sister bought yesterday.

She herself couldn’t bear to use it, yet she covered me with it.

Before logging out of the game, there was no blanket.

This meant his second sister had woken up.

He got out of bed and left the room, a scent of cooking wafted through.

"Second Sister?"

"I’m here, the food will be ready soon, just wait a bit."

Fang Yu was somewhat surprised.

At home, they seemed to always eat porridge; he hadn’t expected his second sister could actually cook.

On second thought.

Fang Yu understood.

Before, they ate porridge because they were out of money.

The porridge was so thin it was just rice soup, merely enough to fill their stomachs.

According to past memories shared by his second sister, the slightly better meals were just porridge with some broken vegetable leaves.

Brother Cha was a tea shop assistant, ensuring a threshold for their livelihood.

His second sister worked part-time at the cloth workshop, occasionally earning money to slightly improve their quality of life and determining their upper limit.

As for Diao Deyi, he was absolutely dragging them down.

Always idling around, no one wanted him for any job, and he had no special skills, making him the least contributing member of the family.

But now, things were looking up.

The house had already been cleaned by his second sister, and it was much tidier now.

This made Fang Yu feel somewhat embarrassed.

By then, the food was ready, and there was even fried pork and cabbage.

The richness was almost luxurious.

Well, compared to the character’s prior experiences.

"Diao Deyi, do you remember what I told you last night?"

His second sister spoke while eating.

You talked about many things last night, which one?

Still, Fang Yu nodded.

"I remember."

Anyway, just say I remember! Just tell what it is.

Sure enough, his second sister sighed.

"Brother has been missing for so many days, I’m really worried about his safety. That has a really good reputation; I want to hire them to investigate Brother’s whereabouts."

Saying this, his second sister carefully looked towards Fang Yu, even stopping her chopsticks, her expression anxious.

Fang Yu was puzzled by what his second sister was doing.

But soon, he figured it out.

"Is it very expensive?"

"...Yes."

His sister lowered her head, her voice as quiet as a mosquito’s.

Having money could indeed make their lives better.

But was it really justified to spend it without their most important family member?

His sister didn’t know; this problem was too complex.

She just hoped that their brother could come back alive, and reunite with them.

"I remember you said that you had posted notices in alleys and set rewards before, didn’t it work?"

"While you were sleeping, a few people came, but all were false leads," his sister said, shaking her head with tearful eyes.

"How much?"

"What?"

"The price of ."

His sister first brightened up, then cautiously said, "One ounce..."

Man!

Fang Yu swept out an ounce of silver onto the table.

Then he listened as his sister continued.

"...per day."

Fang Yu: ???

"Is this made of gold or silver? Should I join them instead??"

His sister hurriedly covered her head, weakly saying, "They, they have a very good reputation, last time they helped Aunt Zhang find her missing cat."

Aunt Zhang was a wealthy lady his sister knew from working part-time at the cloth workshop.

No wonder his sister knew such an expensive place.

Fang Yu felt there must be something fishy about this being so pricy.

But seeing his sister’s pitiful, teary eyes, he sighed.

And took out 2 more ounces of silver.

"3 ounces. Let them investigate for three days first."

Three days, after three days, I don’t even know if the character will still be alive.

Even the inspection by the Foolish Underworld in two days could be life-threatening.

"Diao Deyi! I knew you were the best!"

Second Sister was so happy that she almost jumped with joy, but she didn’t take Fang Yu’s money.

"The money you gave before, I still have some left, enough for . I just didn’t want you to think I was squandering money..."

It’s not really squandering, just feels a bit wasteful.

Has Brother been missing for five days or six?

Anyway, it’s been so many days, an ordinary tea shop clerk missing for so many days, he’s probably gone, most likely.

Consider it spending money to give Second Sister some peace of mind, it’s rare to still be able to feel cared about in the game.

Second Sister firmly refused to take the money, so Fang Yu did not insist.

He has plans for the 10 taels of silver he holds.

taels for 50,000 yuan living expenses.

taels to exchange at the martial arts gym for a Martial Arts Secret Manual.

As for money, just earn it again.

With his unique skills, why worry about money?

Thinking of this, Fang Yu opened his attribute panel.

+, Solid Foundation Technique +.]

He still hasn’t used the five attribute points.

No need to add to Physique for now, he’s targeting two martial arts.

"I’m heading out to ."

"Okay."

As Second Sister left, Fang Yu also started heading to the martial arts gym.

Indeed, better to invest in first.

This thing relies too much on practicing by oneself to level up, and it’s too slow.

→Dual Zero Sword .]

Boom!

The comprehensive understanding of sword techniques was suddenly mastered.

The 12 starting moves that baffled him all afternoon were now under his control.

"But it’s tough to get the matching long and short swords."

He forgot to ask last time at the gym’s storeroom.

Mainly because he was scared by the Sweeping Monk.

Right! Sweeping Monk!

Fang Yu suddenly got excited.

The Sweeping Monk’s life is at risk.

And his Demon Bloodline can suck the Sweeping Monk’s blood!

1000+ blood, that’s over a 1000 blood, if I can suck it in, I’ll be a Thousand Blood Demon!

Looking again, there are some attribute points left.

Without the matching weapons, even mastering won’t mean much, can’t put it into use.

No need to add points to Physique and Spirit, so the only option left is...

→Solid Foundation Technique .]

Solid Foundation Technique, another level up!

Boom!

A warm current swept through his body, finally gathering in his hands.

Fang Yu felt as if his hands were reborn, exceptionally refreshed.

Checking the attributes again.

Fang Yu was suddenly stunned.

+, Solid Foundation Technique +.]

There were still points to add after the Solid Foundation Technique.

Transformation isn’t the limit?

As Fang Yu clicked, a prompt popped up.

Fang Yu thought about it, Solid Foundation Technique has always improved his overall physical quality, and the hands were focused on as a result on this basis.

This is worth the points.

Mainly because he’s curious about the effects of the Solid Foundation Technique upgrade that requires 2 attribute points.

He clicked to proceed.

→Breakthrough to Mid-Stage of Flower Level.]
