Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Although the meeting had long since ended, Xu Hao remained seated in the conference room, deep in thought:

A year may be enough time for him to become powerful, but in the face of the impending catastrophe, that strength seems so insignificant.

In that year, he leveled up to level 40 on his own, equipped with top-tier gear, and roamed the world with his level 7 dog.

There's definitely no problem with that.

But if the supernatural forces were to launch a large-scale invasion, and human civilization were to face annihilation...

Who are you trying to impress when you act all high and mighty?

Xu Hao couldn't help but shudder as images of monsters rampaging through his mind flashed through his mind, with corpses strewn across the streets and the cries of survivors echoing through the sky.

The streets were filled with Rainbow Demon Lords and Demon Dragon Guardians. Their numbers stretched as far as the eye could see.

What can I do?

Even if he can protect himself and Lin Ya, what about everyone else? Human civilization has been destroyed, and he's just going to live in seclusion in the mountains with Lin Ya?

What's the point of living then?

Besides, running away isn't his style. Moreover, no matter how far he hides, the eerie threat will eventually reach every corner. If you're the only two living people in the world then, can you guarantee the eerie creatures won't attack you?

Xu Hao took a deep breath and clenched his fist. A year may be a short time, but if it can be used to its fullest potential, it might give humanity a glimmer of hope for survival.

We need to make the most of the next year.

Xu Hao fell into deep thought, his brows furrowing slightly, his eyes flashing with a mixture of determination and worry. He began to organize his next plan in his mind.

The most pressing task was to improve his strength. Xu Hao clearly realized that his current abilities were far from sufficient to face the impending crisis.

He can't even wear a level 22 Soul Armor, and he's just a newcomer to the Bureau of Mysterious Affairs. With this level of strength, he's practically an ant in the face of the impending catastrophe.

Xu Hao wrote a large "40" on the paper.

A level 40 Taoist priest, whether in the real world or on the continent of Fama, is basically someone who won't die unless they court death. With such strength as a foundation, they can remain invincible.

Get to level 40 first!

Xu Hao's thoughts continued to expand; simply improving his own strength was far from enough.

"I can't do it all by myself," Xu Hao thought to himself. "If the sky falls, it'll hit everyone. The earth isn't my own; just because I'm tall doesn't mean I have to hold it up myself! Everyone has to do their part!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath and continued to think: "The Bureau of Mysteries must step up! We need to find a way to give the bureau more responsibilities."

A newly hired employee who's already figuring out how to give the organization more responsibilities sounds like someone with a bright future.

"Talismans, potions, scrolls, and the pills I've refined myself—these are all treasures that can enhance the entire force against the strange forces. Moreover, these things aren't rare on the Fama Continent. I can slowly acquire them later."

His gaze hardened, and a flame ignited within him. "No wonder everyone likes Jianzheng; the feeling of playing a grand game is quite exhilarating!"

Xu Hao's thoughts continued to drift further afield. He closed his eyes, and the vast landscape of the Fama Continent appeared in his mind.

“The continent of Fama…” Xu Hao murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for exploration. “I still know too little about it. I still have some preconceived notions in my mind, and I unconsciously associate the continent of Fama with the game Legend of Mir…”

His heart began to race involuntarily. A bold idea gradually took shape in his mind: since the continent of Fama had an impact on the real world, there must be some crucial clues on that land.

To put it simply, you can only spawn one Woma Leader and one Bull Demon King at a time. If one of them appears in the real world, does it also appear in the game world?

Xu Hao's fingers tapped the table unconsciously, the rhythm quickening. His gaze sharpened, as if trying to pierce through time and space, reaching the very core of the Fama Continent.

“A high-level map…” he muttered to himself, “There must be more secrets hidden there.”

Xu Hao had already suspected this. If there were any hidden secrets, they would definitely be in high-level maps. Crimson Moon, Demon Dragon, Zuma, or at the very least, a Stone Tomb Maze, right?

Surely such a shocking secret wouldn't be revealed by the rake cat, right?

Therefore, once you reach a certain level, you should definitely explore these high-level maps.

Xu Hao suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He sat up straight, his eyes narrowed, and his lips moved slightly: "Fama Continent... game... game... Fama Continent..." He repeated these words in a low voice over and over until his lips were almost silent.

Xu Hao felt his brain was working at high speed, with countless fragmented pieces of information flashing through his mind.

The conversation with Ziyu, and some information that Ziyu told me.

The people there have no memories of what happened before. The monsters there appear automatically from the void…

It was as if some important connection was about to surface.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to concentrate. His fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, the rhythm gradually synchronizing with his heartbeat.

“Game…Fama Continent…” Xu Hao murmured to himself. He felt as if he had grasped something, but that thought vanished in an instant like a bubble.

Xu Hao was lost in thought when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. He snapped back to reality, his body trembled slightly, and he turned to look behind him.

Shi Shaowei had somehow appeared behind him, a teasing smile on his face. His hand was still hanging in the air, clearly having just patted Xu Hao on the shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?" Shi Shaowei asked, his voice tinged with curiosity. "I've seen you sitting here in a daze for quite a while now."

Xu Hao blinked, trying to pull his thoughts back to reality from those complicated speculations. He took a deep breath, feeling his mind was still a little muddled, and the inspiration he had just grasped dissipated.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things," Xu Hao said with some regret, while rubbing his temples to try to relieve the slight headache caused by thinking.

Shi Shaowei raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer. He pulled out the chair next to Xu Hao and sat down, observing Xu Hao's slightly tired face with interest.

"Judging from your expression, you must be thinking about something earth-shattering, right?" Shi Shaowei said half-jokingly, but a hint of concern was in his eyes.

Xu Hao has given him so many surprises. Seeing him in a daze, you can't help but want to come up with something big again, right?

The situation is so critical right now, Brother Xu, you'd better hurry up and produce something big, the bigger the better!

Xu Hao shook his head with a wry smile, feeling his train of thought completely interrupted, and the feeling of almost touching the truth vanished. He sighed deeply, as if exhaling all his thoughts.

"It's nothing, Brother Shi. I'll tell you when I've figured it out."
