Who gave you permission to travel through time with Earth?

Afterwards, the atmosphere at the liquor party gradually calmed down and even returned to its initial liveliness. Old Master Xu Hao showed his generous and open-minded side, drinking and laughing with everyone.

"Grandpa, how should we divide the spoils? There's only one of those legendary undead treasures. How about we all take it and give it to you?"

"Haha, just kidding! If you really wanted to take it from me, wouldn't you fight this old man to the death?"

Xu Hao gulped down a mouthful of strong liquor, hissing as he exhaled the pungent aroma, then frowned and laughed loudly at the troublemaker.

"I hereby declare that whoever seizes that treasure keeps it. Even if my organization gets nothing, it doesn't matter. You all know the more important significance of this expedition for my group!"

"Great!" "The old man is so generous!" "I'm really starting to consider joining the shochu club."

"We can ignore that treasure; whoever grabs it first gets it. But it makes no sense for me, the host, to take 30% of the entire scavenger's loot, right?"

"Yes, but we dare not announce it." "Even 70% is good." "Hopefully, those scavengers have a larger stock."

"There's a way. If you join the shochu club, we're all brothers, and I won't charge you the 30% tax! As for the rest... hey, it's all in the sake, drink up!"

"..."

The familiar yet troublesome party continued until midnight. Fang Jin's expression had become numb. She tried to run away several times, but Guo Shi was held in the center by the four people and could not escape.

However, it's almost over now, and people are gradually leaving. As for the collective action against the scavengers, Xu Hao only confirmed the specific time.

The assembly and attack will take place in the early morning of the third day. The specific plan will be unfolded at that time, since there is no guarantee that the strategies formulated on-site will not be leaked. The details will be handled entirely by the Shochu Association.

"That's true... after all, there's that bigmouth with connections everywhere."

Fang Jin idly swirled his wine glass. No one in the entire hall would invite him for a drink. After witnessing the conflict between Tie Zhao and Fang Jin, it was as if everyone passing by saw the word "death" between his brows.

So Fang Jin ignored the nagging in her ear and left early, casually finding a private room to drink by herself, while solemnly opening her player panel.

He hadn't used evolution points before, so he didn't know the specific definition of talent skills. If he went astray at the very beginning, his future cultivation would inevitably be full of stumbles.

In fact, if it weren't for the malice from the iron shield, Fang Jin wouldn't even have planned to use it now. It's an excellent trump card with natural concealment, which might have an unexpected effect during the campaign.

"But now the old man has his eye on us... We have no choice."

But after learning more about things over the past few days, Fang Jin realized she had been overly cautious. The actual paths players could take were vastly different; level was just the most basic difference.

With the growth of talent, the expansion of skills, and the versatility of equipment, there are too many ways to enhance one's strength. How to allocate the points obtained at the beginning is actually not very meaningful.

Although his points are actually quite numerous, for ordinary novice players, earning enough experience to level up to level five and draw talents after completing dungeons is already quite good, while those with exceptional talents might earn three digits.

As for him... he got 293 points, even after some points were deducted for repairing his physical body. In reality, Fang Jin gained more than 400 points from one dungeon run.

A Tier 1 player gains 10 points per level, and a Tier 2 player gains 100 points per level. By investing all the points into leveling up, Fang Jin can immediately rival Guo Shi and the others, and even surpass them in combat power.

"After upgrading to level 10... reserve 100 points, and invest the rest in the Star Eater's Authority."

Fang Jin pondered that for a player who had advanced to the second tier, reaching the mid-level of this campaign was already sufficient, as the authority of the Star Eater had already given him enough room to maneuver.

After distributing the points, he silently confirmed it in his mind. In an instant, the entire private room seemed to be paused, and all movement of matter was frozen.

Then, as if torn from the universe, a dark nebula crashed into the space, splitting into countless deep, cold currents that seeped into Fang Jin's skin and melted into his bone marrow and blood.

Fang Jin's body was not modified, at least not by adding or removing any organs, but his life level was undoubtedly elevated, which he could feel very clearly.

The flow of blood transformed from a stream into a waterfall, and the beating of his heart changed from the tolling of a bell to the thunderous roar of a drum. An unprecedented power surged and roared within Fang Jin's body! This made him unable to hold back... and he knelt on the ground.

The pain was so intense it was almost unbearable...

"Holy crap... it's like having your stomach turned inside out, screwed in a dozen screws, and then shoved back in... and nobody told me evolution would fucking hurt this much!"

He now understood why no one suspected he hadn't spent any points; his simulated space guaranteed absolute safety, allowing him to evolve without restraint.

However, in reality, evolution is tantamount to exposing one's weaknesses to the light of day. If someone were to forcibly evolve in a real battle in an attempt to reverse the situation, the terrifying pain would turn them into lambs to the slaughter.

"...But it's not like I can't get used to it."

Two minutes later, Fang Jin leaped up from the ground, his body so light that it surprised him. After popping two candies into his mouth to calm his nerves, Fang Jin casually opened the current panel.

[Name: Fang Jin, Level 10]

Evolution Points: 100, Positive Value: 12

[Talent System: Star Eater (Stellar Revival 0.6%), Second Talent Available Through Draw]

[Skills: Forge Mode (Local), Lime Skin]

[Equipment: A baker's knife]

[Items: Descaling Salt x4, Penicillin x1, Vampire Petals x3]

……

Fang Jin's lips twitched violently. Level 10 already provides a bonus to his talent, and he had directly invested 93 points into the Star Eater skill, yet it only advanced Earth's recovery progress by... 0.2%?

"..."

"Why don't we go out and kill the Iron Shield now?"

Fang Jin sneered to himself, grabbed the broken table leg on the ground and was about to walk out. 193 points of investment equals 0.2 progress. When will he be able to revive the entire planet and finish his cultivation?

[Second talent available for acquisition. Do you wish to acquire it?]

Seeing this message pop up on her iris, Fang Jin barely managed to suppress the anger rising in her chest. But then she thought that she didn't seem to have the luck to draw gold in a single draw, and that anger surged up again.

If all else fails, I'll kill Iron Shield and then join the Shochu Club. Isn't that old man looking to recruit talented people? I'll prove my abilities by killing his subordinates and see if that old bastard will have the nerve to take me in.

Thinking this, he casually clicked to draw, not intending to even glance at it... but the gaze from behind made Fang Jin stop in his tracks.
