Learn one small skill every day

Delis was very satisfied with the wounds Bai Miao had treated for her: "None of my previous assistants had your skills."

"Where did all the previous assistants go?"

Delis paused for a moment, then looked at Bai Miao with a wistful expression: "Perhaps he left Abyss Street, or maybe he was dealt with by the Plague Doctor."

"Leave? Why would they leave?"

Bai Miao carefully steered the conversation, searching for a way to leave Abyss Street without revealing his desire to do so.

“Abyss Street is not a place for humans. No human who comes here wants to leave.”

"Let me give you a piece of advice: don't think about running around recklessly. Since the Plague Doctor is willing to teach you medical skills, he must value you. Who knows, you might become another doctor in Abyss Street in the future."

Bai Miao just smiled sheepishly and didn't reply.

"You might not believe me, but you might regret leaving Abyss Street."

Delis seemed to really want Bai Miao to stay put.

“Ms. Delis, I appreciate your kindness, but I am indeed curious: is it really possible for someone to leave Abyss Street?”

"There definitely is, but if you want to ask me how to leave Abyss Street, I don't know."

Delis shrugged: "I'm not lying to you, I really don't know."

"Alright, I have to go back to weaving now, I'll be going now."

"Please take your time, Ms. Delis."

Delis nimbly crawled up the stairs on her eight long legs. When she reached the door, she turned to Bai Miao and said, "It's 5:30 now. It's almost evening. The soul lamp at the door will turn red at night, so you must not go out casually. It will turn back to its original yellow during the day. If you don't know the time, you can use this method to tell."

"Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Delis."

Bai Miao said this, but his heart was already in turmoil.

This is different from the message!

Although Bai Miao was inclined to believe the suggestion, Delis's words only amplified the uncertainty in Bai Miao's heart.

Moreover, Bai Miao discovered that the flow of time within Abyss Street was clearly abnormal. Bai Miao originally thought that treating this wound would only take less than an hour, but now three hours had actually passed!

Does the soul lamp really turn red at night?

After the light turns red, should I go out and find another red light as instructed?

Bai Miao mentally calculated the time while considering countermeasures.

Amidst the agonizing choices, night fell.

Chapter Seven, First Night

A fierce gust of wind swept past the window, carrying thick black fog that swept across the street, causing the spirit lamps on the door to creak and flicker.

Fortunately, the soul lamp withstood the strong wind and did not go out.

After the thick fog dissipated, Bai Miao was shocked to find that the soul lamp opposite him had turned red!

However, their own soul lamp was still yellow.

The red soul lamp that Delis mentioned turning into a red one at night, could it be a rule of the indigenous people?

Does that mean that after my soul lamp turns red, I need to temporarily hide in my neighbor's house?

However, before the soul lamp turned red, Bai Miao encountered the problem he least wanted to face.

The soul lamp has gone out!

While the red glow of the Soul Lamp might offer a solution, the method for dealing with a extinguished Soul Lamp is rather vague.

Simply put, it's a game of hide-and-seek.

But the question is, who is the other party? Is it even possible to find a solution within a minute?

All of this information was unknown to Bai Miao.

But it's only the first night, and Bai Miao already has to play hide-and-seek with everything that comes into the house.

[Hide and Seek LV1: You can better conceal your figure and are less likely to be discovered by the other party]

Level 1 Hide and Seek can give Bai Miao a bonus for both finding people and hiding. Right now, besides this bonus, Bai Miao thinks it would be better to find a place to hide.

It's hard to find a good hiding place in ten seconds. Bai Miao could already sense a strange object standing outside the door, which might push the door open at any moment.

The basement, yes, the basement.

Bai Miao thought of the person locked up in the basement. She was still relatively rational after being fed meat, so that might be a good hiding place.

No, the basement is too empty; it's not exactly a good place to go...

After much deliberation, Bai Miao decided to take a risk.

On the door frame!

Since they were given ten seconds, the other party definitely wouldn't be able to assess the situation inside the room within those ten seconds.

Furthermore, the fact that the other party was given a minute indicates that they absolutely lack any ability to detect things; otherwise, a minute would have been more than enough time for them to search every corner of the room.

So Bai Miao stood on the door frame, his whole body pressed against the wall.

If the guy who came in didn't turn around immediately, Bai Miao would just slip out the door!

Even if he had ten minutes, he wouldn't be able to find himself inside the house!

[Breath Holding LV1: Your concentration has improved]

[Silent Action LV1: Your movements will not make much noise]

Bai Miao once thought that these two skills could only be used for burglary.

It can only be said that the original scope was too small.

Bai Miao unleashed multiple skills in quick succession, waiting for the opponent to enter the house.

"Crack!"

The door was slowly pulled open, and the interior of the house instantly became pitch black. Under the reflection of the red soul lamp opposite, a long shadow stretched into the house.

"I see you..."

A cold, slightly bloodthirsty voice rang in Bai Miao's ears.

Bai Miao tensed up, thinking to himself, "I don't believe you for a second."

Not knowing where the other party would first make a bluff, Bai Miao was very familiar with this tactic.

The room was completely dark, which was advantageous to Bai Miao, provided that the other party was not the kind of species that could see clearly even in the dark.

The next moment, Bai Miao saw a huge head poking in from outside the door.

It was a head covered with pustules and bulges, the head alone being larger than Bai Miao's body.

After the head entered the room, there were strings of arms and caterpillar-like bodies.

Bai Miao was on the door frame, watching the human-shaped caterpillar crawl towards the second floor.

After the last section of the house was completed, Bai Miao climbed over the door without a second thought and squatted down in the bushes by the door.

The premise for not going out at night is that the Soul Lamp is still lit. Now that the Soul Lamp has been extinguished, and there is a big guy in the house looking for him everywhere, the grass outside can give Bai Miao a little more sense of security.

"58, 59, 60."

After Bai Miao silently counted to one minute, the soul lamp at the door suddenly lit up with a "whoosh," and Bai Miao ran back into the house without thinking.

There was no trace of the huge creature that had entered the room; it was as if the enormous monster had never existed and had vanished into thin air.

"I just don't know if this method will work again next time..."

Bai Miao sat on the sofa in the living room, his eyes fixed on the flashing light at the door, constantly watching for any changes in the light.

You may draw a skill once. Would you like to draw?

It's past midnight already?

Bai Miao realized that the flow of time was indeed very strange, and it seemed that he had to estimate the time every now and then.

Extract!

Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Undead Slayer

[Undead Slayer LV1: You can deal more damage to things that should be dead]

Bai Miao almost jumped off the sofa.

That's right! Just as I suspected!

If yesterday's eyeball detachment was considered a tough feat, then today's undead killer is undoubtedly a very powerful skill!

Most importantly, the skills drawn over two consecutive days were so perfectly suited to the environment of the Abyss Street dungeon that Bai Miao was certain of his guess.

In dungeons, the skills you draw are always closely related to the dungeon's background. You can draw special abilities that are impossible to obtain in the main world!

If you can learn some magic or other abilities, you have a chance to draw skills that directly enhance your combat power!

Moreover, as long as you keep participating in dungeons, even disregarding the rewards from the dungeons, you might become very strong just by drawing skills!

The thing mentioned in the letter from the future that's even more advanced than the Zero Time Lock must be the system I brought with me when I transmigrated.

It seems I misunderstood you for the past three years.

The system is paired with dungeons, and every day spent in dungeons brings unexpected improvements.

Before I knew it, it was six o'clock in the morning.

It's daytime now.

Nearly a day has passed, and Bai Miao still doesn't feel hungry, which means he probably doesn't need to eat in Abyss Street. The meat he bought is definitely something he shouldn't eat.

Early in the morning, Bai Miao went to buy the meat for the day. Around two o'clock, Bai Miao carried the twenty-five-pound meat to the basement.

At this moment, the woman in the basement was on the verge of losing consciousness. After quickly finishing off the twenty-five pounds of meat, she licked her lips and a smile appeared on her face.

"Will I be able to eat this much meat every day from now on?"

"Let's see if the butcher will give me any face."

Bai Miao did not give her a definite answer.
