Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Before we knew it, it was the next day.

Everyone went outdoors to begin their day's work.

Just then, a sword cry suddenly rang out from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a streak of light breaking through the air from afar in the wind and snow, with great momentum and speed so fast that it produced a sonic boom.

"A sword? Could it be that the guild leader has recovered from his illness and is developing a new skill?"

Everyone stood on tiptoe, craning their necks in anticipation.

The next second, they were stunned.

The flying sword carried not a transcendent and elegant sword immortal, but—

A trembling mass of flesh.

One child stared in disbelief and exclaimed, "Mommy, there's a pig flying in the sky!"

"Silly child, you've mistaken it for something else."

The woman had no choice but to cover the child's eyes to prevent his young mind from being further harmed.

"It must be some new species of monster, right? Sigh, those guys from the Wu'an Department are really something. The full moon night just ended a few days ago, and they've already let in such an ugly monster. It's not good if it scares the children."

"It could also be something the research institute is working on. I heard they've almost finished developing the magic engine, and Vice President Gu is leading the development of tanks and airplanes."

A group of people were discussing and pointing at each other.

Suddenly, a man exclaimed:

"Oh no! Look, that UFO is heading straight for the headquarters building!"

Everyone looked over, and their expressions changed drastically.

"The direction he flew seemed to be... towards the president's room!"

"What are we waiting for? Everyone, let's attack together! Don't let this damn thing disturb the chairman's recovery!"

Before the words were even finished, a barrage of skills flew out, enveloping the unidentified flying object.

Rumble!

Flames exploded high in the sky, and the pungent smell of burning fat instantly filled the air.

A scream seemed to be heard, but when the thick smoke cleared, the unidentified flying object had already disappeared.

Only the feather curtains of Tianyu Terrace remained, fluttering silently.

"Did it work?"

A group of people looked puzzled, unsure of what to do next.

Just then, the loudspeaker outside the headquarters building vibrated slightly, and Huang Haoran's voice rang out:

"Ahem, good morning everyone. I am so sorry, the research institute's latest aircraft was just undergoing a test flight. We did not inform you in advance, which caused panic. I sincerely apologize."

"This accident was caused by a management error, and the Research Institute and the Human Resources Department shall bear all responsibility for it."

"At the same time, for your courageous actions in caring for the president's safety and taking decisive action, after discussion among various departments, you will be commended. Please collect your rewards from the Headquarters Materials Department office before returning home tonight..."

Hearing Huang Haoran's explanation, everyone nodded, looking enlightened.

Just as everyone was about to leave, the loudspeaker blared again:

"A quick announcement: Further aircraft experiments may be conducted at unpredictable times, and we may not be able to notify you in a timely manner. Please do not panic if you see any aircraft; these aircraft are operated by professionals to prevent them from going out of control."

"The guild leader's injuries have not fully recovered. According to the pastor team, he needs to rest. Therefore, please refrain from using destructive abilities around the headquarters building. Thank you!"

After the broadcast ended, everyone who had just made the move looked regretful.

"Sigh, I acted impulsively and disturbed the president's recovery. I deserve to die."

"Waaah, the president is so kind! Even though we bothered us, she still praised us and gave us a reward! No way, I won't accept this reward; I feel unworthy!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly! What if you disturb the student council president's rest?"

The group fell silent, and eventually even walked on tiptoe, like thieves.

Even in the usually bustling lobby on the first floor, the members of the Ideal Country slowed down and held their breath, afraid of making the slightest noise.

Seeing this, Su Muqing in dormitory 301 shook her head helplessly and glanced at the steaming coal next to her.

"Look what you've done! You insisted on going out for a stroll, and now look what's happened, everyone has to cooperate with you and lie to cover for you."

"Do you know how much effort you've put in lately to maintain the prestige you've built up? Surviving elderly people are kneeling and begging me to come in and visit them, but we've stopped them all. I've practically kowtowed myself until my head is raw!"

Su Muqing looked displeased and resentful.

The coal briquette rolled twice, revealing Xiao Yun's crimson-gold eyes, filled with apology:

"Sorry, sorry, Mithril Sword just unlocked a new feature, and I got carried away and played it too much."

"Besides, isn't this a pretty good outcome? Everyone is satisfied, the development of spiritual civilization has reached a new level, and the future of building a beautiful and ideal country is promising!"

Su Muqing rolled her eyes helplessly and decided not to argue with him.

"You can play by yourself, but don't go too far. I have other things to do."

Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Yun called her back.

"Hey, hey, don't go, do me a favor."

Xiao Yun rolled over, revealing her belly.

Under the curse of gluttony, Xiao Yun's recovery ability was astonishing. In just a few minutes, his charred skin had already regrown, and the charred old skin peeled off like snowflakes.

Gradually, the blade of the mithril sword appeared before Su Muqing's eyes.

Xiao Yun pointed to the sword on his stomach and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"The mithril sword ran out of mana after flying around just now, so it can't move on its own. I can't reach it myself, so please help me get it out."

It was only then that Su Muqing realized that Xiao Yun was not actually lying on the mithril sword.

Instead, it was pierced by a sword, like a skewer on a barbecue grill.

Su Muqing's eyelids trembled violently, and she helplessly rubbed her forehead:

"You're truly... amazing! How come I never noticed before?"

With a helpless sigh, Su Muqing stepped forward and grasped the hilt of the sword:

"It's a bit tight, it might hurt a little. I'll count to three, two, one, get ready."

"it is good."

Xiao Yun took a deep breath.

To keep his body in place, he deliberately inserted the mithril sword very deep, surrounded by a thick layer of fat, making it extremely difficult and painful to pull out.

Su Muqing nodded, a sly glint in her eyes:

"Ready...three!"

"Oh my god! Why didn't you count to two before pulling it out?!"

Xiao Yun rolled on the ground in pain, yellow fat flowing out like thick mud from the cracks on both sides of her stomach.

Su Muqing let out a long breath, nodded in satisfaction, and tossed the mithril sword to his side.

"Okay, wipe it yourself, I have to go now."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Xiao Yun with only a dashing back view.

"Hiss! Taking advantage of my weakness, they all want to bully me a bit."

Xiao Yun looked resentful and reluctantly picked up the mithril sword.

The intense heat of the flames burned away all the oil residue.

"Waaaah, Master, please try a different way of poking me next time. I feel so dirty."

"Try a different approach..."

The image of the mithril sword piercing his body vertically flashed through Xiao Yun's mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"What are you saying? And from now on, speak in a normal tone. If you keep talking like Jing Feiwan, I'll melt you down!"

Xiao Yun slammed his fist on the sword, issuing a stern warning.

The mithril sword trembled slightly, its expression a mixture of grievance and doubt:

"But, Master, I adjusted it according to your preferred look. Could I have misinterpreted it? Master, do you like someone aloof?"

"...I suddenly think it's better that you haven't advanced; you're a bit too intelligent now."

Xiao Yun grabbed the mithril sword and shoved it back into its sheath, effectively silencing it.

After the noise subsided, Xiao Yun lay on the ground, quietly recalling the new functions of the Mithril Sword.

The ability to fly is merely a superficial aspect; the core lies in the fact that, after integrating the [Proof of Heroes], the Mithril Sword has already embarked on the path of advancement, possessing self-awareness and the ability to operate autonomously.

Simply put, it's like having an extra follower.

"However, without my control, it can only perform some basic actions, such as hovering, flying, slashing, piercing... and they all consume a lot of mana, so they can't be used for long periods of time."

"It seems that only after fully advancing will it have complete functionality."

Xiao Yun looked at the advancement requirements again.

"Upgrade cards and ten swords of the same quality are easy to collect, but equipment like the [Useless Rusty Iron Sword] and the [Ordinary Bronze Short Sword] are hard to find."

"And then there are the overlord-level monsters; even if we found them now, we wouldn't be able to kill them."

Xiao Yun sighed softly and decided to try searching with the system first.

Soon, a message appeared before his eyes.

Near the demon Ye Feng, there is a dying overlord-level monster with a holy sword called "Light's Exorcism" stuck in its heart. It is a weapon forged by the demigod of light for his child in the distant past and can be used to enhance the Mithril Sword.

"A top-tier monster? The Light's Exorcism?"

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up as he recalled the tarot meeting three days ago.

Although he was unconscious and couldn't participate at the time, the Crow King still went and brought back some information.

"Because he was suddenly pulled into the Tarot Club, the demon has been trapped behind the army of White Walkers, constantly searching for a way to escape..."

Xiao Yun's lips curled up slightly.

Another good deal has come knocking.
