Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

"Chief! That's definitely a Class B containment object! You're not going to rip my head off and use it as a football! And that Xu Hao, if he's not an Awakened, you can break my legs! And he's quite strong!"

"I told you to go on a blind date, I know you didn't want to, but you think you can fool me with this nonsense? Class B containment objects and Awakened Ones are commonplace, aren't they? You can run into them on the street anytime you want! Just you wait until I get back! I'll show you what I'm made of!"

"Director!!" Shi Shaowei said solemnly, "I'm not joking with you. I have that kind of insight, and I've used my own power to investigate that Xu Hao. He does have some strength, a bit weaker than me, but not by much. His specific abilities still need further confirmation, but his identity as an Awakened One is certain!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a voice saying, "That's really the case. Just follow up and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Shi Shaowei put on a fawning expression. "Boss, well... our branch's action team has always been short-handed. Most of the veteran members have been sacrificed, and I'm left with just two or three weaklings. How can we have any fighting power? If Xu Hao is capable, let's recruit him!"

On the other end of the phone, the person seemed to be thinking for a moment before saying, "Personnel matters are something the higher-ups need to consider. But what you said makes sense; our ZZ City branch really needs fresh blood! If possible, I'll try to get some from above!"

Alright! That's exactly what I was waiting for!

After returning home, Lin Ya and Xu Hao both seemed preoccupied. Lin Ya sat on the sofa, her brow furrowed, reflecting on her blind date earlier that day. Xu Hao stood by the window, gazing at the bustling traffic outside, lost in thought.

“That Shi Shaowei is a real oddball,” Xu Hao suddenly said, breaking the silence.

Lin Ya's heart skipped a beat, and she softly asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Hao sighed: "Didn't you notice? He was initially uninterested in my sister, but as soon as he saw me, he was all hyped up."

Especially at the moment of shaking hands, Xu Hao felt a kind of power from the other party that was so familiar, similar to the Taoist arts he possessed. It wasn't exactly the same, but there was a sense of shared origin and kind.

Lin Ya: Brother, how can I explain this to you? I'm afraid it will traumatize you!

Xu Hao walked to the sofa and sat down: "It is indeed a bit strange. But maybe he just wants to recruit me to work for his company?"

Lin Ya was startled: Brother! We can't go! If we go, we'll get lost!

Lin Ya shook her head, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "No, I don't think it's just that. His gaze... is too intense. Like... like he's looking at some rare treasure. I feel he's not a good person, little brother, I think you should stay away from him."

The guy surnamed Shi doesn't look like a bottom at all. As for the younger brother's private parts, let the older sister protect them first!

In these kinds of things, girls are sometimes more experienced and don't know what kind of things they usually watch.

“Oh, right,” Xu Hao suddenly remembered something, “Sis, have you noticed that he seems particularly interested in your ring?”

Lin Ya was taken aback: "A ring? I didn't notice... But is there anything special about this ring?"

Xu Hao was startled. "No! Nothing! It's just a glass item, what could be so special about it!"

It's still not careful enough. Although glass rings are small pieces of jewelry that can't be presented in public, they are truly creations from another world. Will giving them to Sister Lin Ya rashly cause any trouble?

There's no point in overthinking it; you should try to get it back when you have the chance. But asking for something back after giving it to a girl? That doesn't seem right.

唉，头疼……

After saying goodbye, Xu Hao returned home, by which time the game's cooldown period was almost over.

Xu Hao lay on the bed, silently summoning the system.

"System notification: Cooldown time is over. Welcome back to the world of Legend of Mir."

Xu Hao opened his eyes and found himself back on the familiar continent of Marfa. He took a deep breath, feeling the air in this world, which was even fresher than in reality.

Viewing the system panel, the name is: Xu Hao.

【Level: 8】

Yes, I'll try my best to reach level nine as soon as possible and learn the mental combat technique.

In the forest, Xu Hao wielded his ebony sword, and one by one, rake cats, hook cats, deer, and scarecrows fell to his blade. As his experience points accumulated, he finally reached level 9.

Xu Hao was overjoyed. He returned to the starting village, ran to the bookstore owner, bought a skill book, and immediately clicked to learn it.

Mental combat techniques allow him to better control his mental power in battle, improving attack efficiency and hit rate.

A stream of spiritual energy flowed through his body, like a warm stream, nourishing every nerve. Xu Hao felt his consciousness become sharper, and the spiritual energy seemed to have taken form, able to flow freely within his body.

"This feeling... is amazing." Xu Hao opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

He stood up, sensing the changes within his body. The mental combat technique had not only greatly enhanced his mental strength but also made his body lighter. Xu Hao wielded the ebony sword, his movements becoming more fluid, each strike seemingly imbued with mental power, its power amplified.

Previous upgrades, while increasing strength and agility, only made you feel faster and stronger; they didn't bring about such a dramatic change.

The ebony sword used to feel tiring after being wielded for a while, but now it's as easy as wielding a stick.

This is only level 9. Xu Hao estimated his physical fitness to be roughly twice that of an average person. Even in running, he might not be inferior to Usain Bolt at his peak.

"Even if I never log into this game world again, I could easily make a fortune as an Olympic champion or boxing champion in the real world!"

Xu Hao felt great. Although this was only his second time logging into the Legendary World and his level wasn't even high enough to wear a light helmet, he already felt he had gained a lot.

That's just his personality—easily satisfied and content with modest wealth.

Xu Hao hummed a little tune, sold some unwanted gadgets from his backpack, ran to a jewelry store, and bought himself a beginner's outfit, including two glass rings, one on each hand.

With a +7 Lucky Ebony Sword in hand, the drop rate greatly increased. Even with limited equipment, the scattered gold coins dropped would amount to a considerable sum, and Taoists didn't need to use potions much. At level 9, Xu Hao wasn't short of money.

As Xu Hao left the jewelry store and passed by the general store, a thought suddenly struck him.
