After recovering his Spirit Points to over 80%, Song Jian approached the items dropped by the monster.

It was a mutated skeleton. Although it was just a level 10 ordinary monster, the items it dropped were quite good.

First, there was a blue-quality weapon, which even came with a skill – it could be considered a small top-quality item.

[Flame Skeleton Repeating Crossbow] (Blue): One-handed weapon, Attack:

22-48, Fire damage +3, Agility +2. Special effect 1: Triple Shot (active), consecutively launches three crossbow bolts at the target, with the first dealing 110% physical damage, the second 90% physical damage, and the third 60% physical damage; Skill cooldown: 10 seconds; Special effect 2: Infinite Ammo: The weapon can automatically generate crossbow bolts; Usage requirement: Level 10; Can it be taken out of the game: No

Aside from slightly low damage, this weapon’s other attributes were top quality, almost comparable to a silver-quality item. Although Song Jian’s attack damage would be reduced by 80% when using this crossbow, it could be equipped in the secondary weapon slot to enjoy the attribute bonuses, and it would also be very handy for luring monsters.

Song Jian equipped it in his secondary weapon slot, finally raising his Agility attribute to double digits, reaching 11 points.

Of the remaining three items, one was a white-quality necklace, another was a material, and there was also a small pile of Doomsday Coins.

Getting a blue equipment and a white equipment from a level 10 ordinary monster could already be considered a pleasant surprise.

[Frost Skeleton Necklace] (White): Necklace, Defense increase by 10%, additional Spirit Points recovery +2. Usage requirement: Level 10; Can it be taken out of the game: No

[Bone Powder] (White): Material, can be used to make potions, usage requirement: Possess potion-making skill;

[Doomsday Coins] (56): Currency, can be used to purchase items in the game;

An item that could recover Spirit Points was a rare piece of equipment among rare pieces. Since entering the game, Song Jian rarely came across items that could recover Spirit Points. Besides the “Devouring Belt” in his possession, this would be the second item that could recover Spirit Points. Naturally, he put it on his neck without hesitation.

As for the “Bone Powder,” although it was a material for making potions, without the corresponding formula, he didn’t know what kind of potion it could be used for, so he could only put it in his inventory for now.

Although the Doomsday Coins weren’t many, not every humanoid monster dropped them, so it was still a pleasant surprise.

System: Your level has increased to 11, you gained one skill point.

Song Jian’s Experience Points had long been stuck at level 10, 99%, and after becoming a Sword Controller, the level limit was removed. A level 10 monster was enough to raise him to level 11.

He checked his skill bar, and at this time, all his active skills’ proficiency was not maxed, so he could only add the skill point to a passive skill. However, these basic passive skills could be improved through daily practice, so using the skill point on them felt a bit wasteful.

In the end, Song Jian could only add this skill point to his natural talent skill “Thick-skinned,” raising it to level 8.

At level 8 “Thick-skinned,” his defense was increased by 2%, resistance by 1%, damage forcibly reduced by 11 points, and there was a slight increase in resistance to negative effects such as taunts, charms, corpse poison, paralysis, and dizziness. However, these improvements could not be seen in the data.

Just after adding the skill point, Song Jian’s gaze suddenly fell on his active skills, and an idea surfaced in his mind, his face full of regret.

“I, I’m such a pig!” Song Jian cursed.

Both “Earth Teeth Assault” and “Kick” skills consumed Vitality Points, but now that Song Jian recovered 23 Vitality Points per second, he could fully withstand the consumption of these two skills. He could use them to increase his proficiency as long as the cooldown time was over.

As for the “Sword Finger” skill, it consumed Invisible Sword Qi, which recovered extremely quickly. A hundred Invisible Sword Qi points, even if fully consumed, could be fully restored in just a few seconds. It was effortless to improve.

The newly learned sword skill “Broken Wing Dance” consumed Spirit Points, and he could practice it intermittently as long as he ensured his Spirit Points remained above 80%.

With this thought, Song Jian lifted his left hand, and a silver Sword Qi burst forth, directly piercing a bookcase in front of him. Next, he kicked his right foot forward, and a white light enveloped his right foot. Accompanied by a soft breaking sound, the white light flashed and disappeared.

Seeing that the proficiency of both skills increased by one point, Song Jian regretted so much that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

“Forget it, it’s not too late to start practicing now!” Song Jian shook his head and continued to explore.

There was only one mutated skeleton in this attic. After killing it, Song Jian slowly began to search the place. In this game, acquiring items was not limited to defeating monsters. Searching for supplies was also an important method of acquiring items in the game.

Drawers, wardrobes, boxes, and even under the bed, Song Jian carefully searched every spot, and though he did not come up empty-handed, the items he found were not very useful to him.

“A firearms attachment, a 2x scope, and a miscellaneous item, a nail clipper. This nail clipper has the property of being able to be taken out of the game, but what use would that be for me? It even takes up one of my carry-out slots!” Song Jian looked at the two items he discovered and couldn’t help but chuckle ruefully.

At least the 2x scope could be sold for some money, but this nail clipper… is this a joke?

After hesitating for a moment, Song Jian didn’t throw away the nail clipper. Instead, he stored it in his inventory. Currently, he not only has a Storage Ring but also a backpack, so the storage slots were fairly open. If he really couldn’t fit all the items, this nail clipper would certainly be among the things he would casually discard.

After finishing his search, Song Jian came to a corner of the attic. On the floor here, there was a rectangular metal cover locked in place.

“This should be the passage to the theater!” Song Jian broke the rotten padlock and threw it aside, then opened the metal cover.

Below was a short flight of stairs leading to a slightly larger spacious room.

This room seemed to be the backstage makeup room of the theater. There was a large mirror embedded in the wall, occupying half the wall, and below was a row of dressing tables. Directly across from the dressing tables were a row of dilapidated sofas.

The large mirror seemed to have been struck by something, with a large chunk broken off, and a crack extending from the center to both sides, dividing the mirror into two halves. Numerous smaller cracks branched out from this central crack, creating countless tiny fragments.

On the dressing table beneath the mirror, in the center, there was a pale golden jar. On the surface of the jar, twisted and deformed faces were drawn. These faces seemed to be enduring immense pain as they contorted and wailed, becoming completely misshapen. There were numerous faces, large and small, which looked quite eerie and made onlookers feel uneasy.

Song Jian slowly approached the pale golden jar.
