Chapter 1 The First Month in the Underground World

Tomorrow will mark my first month in the underground world. It's been over ten days since I summoned the Gourmet Shell.

In these ten days, I've remained at the Fifth Order, but my attributes have all reached 999, except for Spirit. My equipment hasn't changed either; I'm still using the Dragon Set. However, my weapon has changed. Aunt Shiruria took the Dragon's Fang and exchanged it for something, and then gave me a Sixth Order one-handed sword.

My Home has reached Level Five, with the greatest changes occurring in the Monster Space. It now resembles a town, albeit populated entirely by monsters. Moreover, Aunt has been experimenting with the monsters, enhancing, evolving, and mutating them. She's also been using the two new abilities that emerged. I even saw humanoid monsters, though there were only a few.

The Monster Space has gained a new special building: the Monster Arena, used to resolve conflicts between monsters.

Over the past few days, I've also unearthed over a dozen special underground caves. However, most of the items were used to develop the Monster Space. I even moved some of the job statues I found into the Monster Space, just to test them out. Unexpectedly, it worked.

During the second wave of beast attacks, only a dozen Fourth Order beasts appeared on my side. They were instantly annihilated by the Fifth Order monsters stationed on the Thorns Wall. It was a complete waste of my preparations.

Lina has returned a few times in these ten days, each time excitedly telling me about the elven race. From what I gathered, Lina has already found one-tenth of her people, and they're all staying with Lina's sister. One-tenth... Thinking of that photo album, there must be hundreds of people. Lina must be working really hard.

On the chat channel, most people I see are now at the Third or Fourth Order, with a few at the Fifth Order, though they've only broken through in a single attribute.

However, the number of people has decreased significantly. Not to mention other countries, but China alone has lost one-third of its population. It's only been a month, and most of them died during the beast attacks.

In two days, the third wave of beast attacks will begin. The items sold on China's trading page are now cheaper than usual, and most transactions are done through barter.

I put up the drinks I got from Aunt Shiruria, which temporarily increase attributes. There were a thousand cups in total, all made of wood, and each cup cost ten eggs. They sold out almost as soon as I listed them. In the world trade section, I listed ten cups, each for one hundred eggs.

...

After downing this bowl of medicine, my Spirit also reached 999. However, looking at the bubbling green potion in front of me, I hesitated to drink it.

I glanced at the potion again and asked Lilina, who was standing beside me, "Lilina, are you sure it's safe to drink this?"

Lilina pouted, "Brother, don't you trust Lilina's skills? It took me a lot of effort to make this."

"So, brother, you should drink your medicine."

I looked at Lilina. It's precisely because you made it that I'm afraid to drink it. And I have this feeling that, 'it's time for Da Lang to take his medicine.'

Lilina urged, "Brother, hurry up and drink it. I still have to report to Aunt."

Hearing Lilina's words, I gritted my teeth and drank it all in one gulp.

With my eyes rolling back, I vaguely saw Lilina picking up the cup and skipping towards the Monster Space. Then, I lost consciousness and passed out.

I don't know how much time had passed before I slowly opened my eyes and got up from the sofa, feeling confused. How did I fall asleep on the sofa? When did this happen? I have no memory of it.

Confused, I sat back on the sofa and opened my character panel, intending to study how to increase my Spirit. But when I looked, how did my Spirit also become 999?

Something's wrong, definitely something's wrong. Something must have happened while I was unconscious to increase my Spirit by over a hundred points. But why can't I remember it?

Ugh… Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. Since I can't remember, then I won't think about it. Anyway, it seems like nothing happened to me.

I took out the bottle Shiruria gave me, opened it, and poured out a fruit.

Looking at this inconspicuous fruit in my palm, eating it will allow me to advance to the Sixth Order? I examined it. It looks very ordinary. After a quick look, I ate it directly.

The fruit melted in my mouth, and there was a faint fragrance. Strange? I didn't smell anything when I sniffed it just now. How did it suddenly become fragrant?

Also, I actually forgot to appraise it. Now I don't even know what kind of fruit it is.

Not long after eating the fruit, I suddenly felt the energy in my body surge violently. My body also began to experience intense pain. I was in so much pain that I curled up on the sofa, unable to even cry out.

Each second felt like a year. After what felt like an eternity, the pain finally subsided. I lay on the sofa, covered in sweat. Even the waterproof sofa had a shallow layer of sweat on it.

Gradually, a sense of comfort began to emanate from my body.

As soon as I stood up, sweat poured down. Looking at my soaked clothes, I had no choice but to take a shower first.

After taking a shower, I cleaned up the sweat on the sofa and sat down in a chair to open my character panel.

The Sixth Order is truly incomparable to the Fifth Order, I sighed after experiencing it.

The current me can defeat at least ten of my previous Fifth Order selves. It's only a difference of two attribute points, but I didn't expect the difference to be so great. No wonder I couldn't break the defense of that Colossal Stone Demon leader.

Right, Aunt Shiruria seemed to say that I should tell her before advancing to the Sixth Order. I'm already at the Sixth Order now, but I should still go over there.

As soon as I opened the door to the Monster Space, I saw Lilina rushing towards me and bumping directly into me. Luckily, I stabilized myself, or I would have been knocked over.

I rolled my eyes at Lilina, who was rubbing her little butt, and said unhappily, "Why were you running so fast? Now look, your butt's suffering."

Lilina, rubbing her little butt, puffed out her cheeks and said, "It's all because you suddenly opened the door and scared me. And you didn't even pull me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been bounced back and landed on my butt."

Lin En (눈‸눈)

"Looks like you're itching for a spanking," I said, narrowing my eyes.

As soon as Lilina saw my expression, her little butt didn't hurt anymore, and she immediately ran towards the tavern.

Lin En: "Don't run! Stop right there!"
