The moment he returned home, Ling Yi immediately used the daily roulette.

As his map had been upgraded to an intermediate map, the daily roulette had also been upgraded to an intermediate level.

The prizes inside had also undergone corresponding changes.

A few seconds later…

[Congratulations! You have received a reward from the daily wheel: [Solar Energy Absorber tool]

With the “Probability Reversal”, he was very confident that even if it was not the best, it was still one of the better items in the entire intermediate roulette.

So, he opened the item’s details with anticipation.

[Solar Energy Absorber (C)]: When placed under the sun, it can automatically absorb and store the sun’s energy.

[1. Energy Collection Rate: 1 point per minute (Maximum Storage: 100 points).]

[2. Each point of energy can recover 1% of vitality.]

“Good stuff.”

‘But it’d be even better if I could recover my stamina.‘ Ling Yi thought as his hand moved to mutate it out of habit.

It had a high mutation potential, but it would cost him 32 mutation points.

He’s not lacking in them, so…

A few seconds later, he opened it again.

[Solar Energy Absorber (C)]: When placed under the sun…

[ 1. Energy Collection Rate: 1 point per minute. No MAX storage.]

[ 2. Each point of energy can restore 1% of Hp or stamina.]

[3. It will take effect as long as it is placed in the user’s rucksack. When the holder’s vitality or stamina is reduced, it will automatically consume energy to recover.]

There is no maximum storage limit, and there is an additional function to restore stamina.

These two changes were within Ling Yi’s expectations.

However, he did not expect it to be automatically activated if he placed it in his rucksack.

‘Yes! Now, this is more convenient,’ He nodded in satisfaction.

“It would be a hassle to keep opening and closing his rucksack menu whenever he needed it during battle. Its practicality will be greatly improved if it can be used automatically.” Ling said with certainty.

‘And if I can accumulate energy, then I will temporarily solve my stamina problem!‘

If Ling Yi thought about it carefully, this tool could only temporarily solve his problem.

But if he wanted to solve his stamina problem, he had to start from the roots. He had to increase his attribute…

Otherwise, his stamina would drain all too quickly!

No matter how much stamina he had, it wouldn’t be able to withstand the consumption if it remained the way it was.

“But, it’s still better than before.” Ling Yi sighed and looked out of the window.

It was still nighttime, and it was dark outside the window.

‘Well, I have to wait till tomorrow if I want to test it out….‘

After three hours of intense battle, he was dead tired.

So, after using up the mutated EXP Pearl, he quickly climbed onto the bed and slept.

…

As Ling Yi drifted off to dreamland…

The rest of the world couldn’t fall asleep.

It was still difficult for them to recover from the few World Announcements they had just received.

In the streets and alleys, ordinary people came out of their houses to chat with their neighbors.

“Did you hear? This month’s District 66 has already defeated the Beast King in just a few days!” An old man said to his friend next door. The two elderly men stood in front of their house as they talked.

“I heard, I heard! And only one person to boot! That person has challenged the Beast King and succeeded!” The other old man’s eyes widened exaggeratedly.

“Yeah, I know. That’s just amazing! We’ll feel safe if that person is in our city!”

“That’s true. He’s so strong!”

A few middle-aged aunties nearby walked over and joined in the conversation.

“You must have heard the World Announcement too. What an outstanding player. It’s been 20 years since God’s Path descended, and I never knew a player with such a great amount of power.”

“Even the strongest player in our world got killed by the Beast King when he was level 30. This one is much more powerful than him!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder how many female players are attracted to this young man.”

Surprised, the two old men quickly asked, “You know who that player is?”

“Oh my. Who else could it be?” A plump Auntie said as she put her hands on her hips. “District 66? Isn’t that where the mysterious newcomer is from? There’s no doubt. It could only be him.”

“You mean the Ice and Flame Star Duo?”

“It’s definitely him!”

“But aren’t there two of them?”

“Maybe only one of them did it,”

In contrast to the elderly’s straightforward and light-hearted chats…

The forum was in chaos!

Many players’ worldview was already on the verge of collapsing. Their minds were in a mess, and some even began to doubt themselves.

At Shenxia’s Capital…

A crystal chandelier hung high on the dome in a brightly lit living room. The light gold walls and the expensive calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls made the room look rich and magnificent.

At this moment, people were hurriedly entering from the front door one after another, like fish swimming in a busy ocean.

In the middle of the crowd, Luo Yao was like a student who came for an audition, sitting in a chair while facing an onslaught of questions from the elders.

“Did you really talk to him?” Luo Yuan asked his daughter, who was sitting across from him.

“Yes, I did.” Luo Yao said, feeling a little helpless about her fate.

Whenever her father asked about the situation in her district, she would honestly tell him what happened, like the good daughter she was.

As a result, the entire family rushed over to confirm.

Now that she was facing a circle of elders, she could only obediently stay in her seat and succumb to her fate.

“Hurry up! Quickly tell us what happened.” Her uncle Luo Zhantian asked curiously. In his excitement, he even pushed her father aside so he could sit across from her.

Seeing that it was her uncle, a man who held a higher position and was stronger than her father, Luo Yao’s expression turned serious, “I should start from the beginning…” She began.

It took a few minutes before she told him about her experience in detail.

Which includes the part where she gave the Comet Boss a C-grade tool.

“So that’s how it is.”

After hearing this, the people around her nodded in understanding.

They immediately began to murmur to each other.

“So you didn’t see who killed the Beast King?” Luo Zhantian asked slowly.

“Mm… All I saw was two meteorites landing on the ground. After that, the World Announcement popped out. The most likely player who could have done this was the Big Shot, which I think it was.”

She remembered when that whole scene occurred. She hid behind a rock, so she could not confirm what had truly killed the Beast King.

“…You didn’t ask him if he killed the Beast King?” Her Uncle continued.

“… I didn’t ask because I thought it was obvious that he killed it,”

“Don’t you have his contact information? Why don’t you ask?”

“Uh… Alright then.” Under her Uncle’s questioning, Luo Yao felt she was being a little stupid.

And she didn’t want to argue with the elders on this issue either.

As long as she did what they told her to do, the Comet Boss’ answer wouldn’t matter. The elders wouldn’t be able to complain about her incompetence.

Plus… She didn’t want them to nag her.
