Alone and Infinite

Seems simple? Just one click and the upgrade is complete.

The temple is truly amazing!

Li Xia glanced at his panel, and for some reason, when he saw the word "breathing," he subconsciously gagged.

His body tensed, and he naturally switched to Sun Breathing, warily observing his surroundings.

It took him a while to realize what was happening. He scratched his head in confusion. A side effect of skill enhancement?

[This is a normal reaction to a rapid increase in skill proficiency; Your Excellency, there is no need to worry.]

Hmm, it was indeed a normal reaction. Li Xia felt relieved and forced himself to read his skill panel while suppressing his nausea and vomiting.

[Breath of the Sun]: Integration and Mastery (LV5: 0%)

Skill Cost: Consumes 2% stamina per second

Skill effect: During the activation of Breathing, Strength will be increased by 200%, Dexterity by 140%, and perception and reaction speed will be greatly improved.

From the initial glimpse of the basics (LV2) to mastery (LV5), two major stages are skipped in between: slight success (LV3) and proficiency (LV4).

The effect was absolutely amazing. Although the physical exertion increased, it was only because my body couldn't keep up.

If your physical fitness is improved to a certain level, you can try to maintain a state of full concentration and normal breathing.

Without needing to adjust their breathing, they can unleash tremendous power directly.

In short, we made a fortune!

The best part is that, because I'm the agent, all of this is completely free!!!

You don't have to pay anything!

Li Xia clenched his fists, his heart pounding with excitement. He had passed two levels in one click and reached the "Mastery" stage.

If I tap it a few more times, wouldn't I be able to directly reach the highest proficiency level of Sun Breathing, Transcendent (LV10)?

My finger firmly tapped the plus sign once again.

[Your Majesty, you have reached your physical limit and cannot continue to improve your skills. Please recover before trying again.]

So there's a cooldown period?

It doesn't matter, just use it every now and then and your skills will level up very quickly!

Li Xia tried to cheer herself up, but the fatigue in her body and mind grew stronger and stronger, and she wished she could just collapse and sleep immediately.

He looked around and saw only devastation; it didn't look like a place to rest.

"Can a palace conjure up comfortable rooms?"

【Your Majesty, creating things from the void requires an enormous amount of energy, and the temple is currently unable to support such a massive amount of energy】

Li Xia felt increasingly drowsy. He struggled to stay awake and asked:

"Can you take me back? I need to rest. You can send me the specific rules of the real world later."

[Your Majesty, as per your request, the teleportation location has been set to your home - bedroom. The world travel rules will be sent to your inbox.]

Goodnight, Your Majesty

Jinling City

In a house in the HZ residential area, Li Xia suddenly appeared in the room. He struggled to climb onto his bed, and the familiar environment and smells instantly brought him a strong sense of security.

Within seconds, long, heavy breathing filled the room.

Li Xia didn't know how long she had slept when she was jolted awake from her deep sleep. Her stomach was burning with pain, and her lower abdomen felt like it was about to explode.

After taking care of her personal matters, Li Xia hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed downstairs to a small restaurant. She ordered a meal for three people and, under the owner's astonished gaze, devoured the food like a starving ghost.

The sweet rice entered his stomach, slightly relieving the suffocating hunger. After downing a can of soda, Li Xia let out a long, comfortable burp.

Only then did he have the leisure to open his inbox and check the messages the hall had sent him.

[Original World Management Regulations, Version 212239]

[It is forbidden to reveal any information about the Hall in the original world in any way; otherwise, a warning will be issued, and if the warning is ignored, execution will be carried out.]

[It is forbidden to instigate, induce, deceive, or force others or oneself to engage in mass killing in the original world.]

[In the original world, all of the Apostles' active skills will be sealed, and their personal spaces will be locked.]

[The time an Apostle can stay in the original world is 7-30 days. The length of stay is related to their merit rank, and they can decide the length of stay themselves, but it must not be less than seven days.]

【In the original world.】

【In the original world.】

[The above regulations have no binding effect on the first-generation agent!]

This hall... they even do this kind of thing. Li Xia's lips curled up. Actually, the hall is not bad. One person is fine.

It's like playing on a private server.

I put down my chopsticks and stretched comfortably. I've probably been under a lot of pressure these past few days. I slept so soundly last night that I even dreamt that I was miserably studying Sun Breathing.

If you get distracted or lose focus, you'll get a beating from Tanjuro Kamado.

Li Xia shook his head. Next, he would follow the plan and try his best to improve his basic attributes and acquire basic skills in the real world!

Chapter 18 Selling Silver Coins

When Li Xia got home, she first organized all her things, putting the useful ones into her personal space.

Li Xia still remembered that crazy person who shot himself; he had glanced at it on his phone while eating earlier.

There was only one news report about a loading and unloading truck losing control and crashing into the roadside, indicating that there were no casualties.

There are on-site videos on short video websites, where you can see yourself standing at the scene looking completely bewildered.

But that's all. Li Xia recalled carefully, and it seemed that she hadn't even had a chance to fire the gun before it exploded.

Given that she was sitting in the car, it's normal that she wasn't discovered, so the crazy woman is most likely still there.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. It just so happens that I'll be going out during this time to improve my basic attributes and learn some basic skills.

The personal space is now a full 100 cubic meters in size, and it will expand further as the temple is revived.

One hundred cubic meters is about half the size of a classroom. It looks alright on its own, but the space has an advantage: the items inside aren't simply piled up on the floor.

Instead, they can be placed anywhere within the space, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the space.

In just a short while, the entire room was empty, making the old man who collects garbage in the community grin from ear to ear.

After confirming several times that he didn't want any of these things, the old man solemnly assured him, "If there are any valuables hidden inside, I will definitely return them to you!"

Valuables? What else could be valuables?

Li Xia shook her head. When her parents were in a car accident, the person who caused the accident didn't have anything to be held accountable for. The car they were driving was stolen. They tried everything from the ICU to other methods, and sold everything they could. Just when she was preparing to sell the house, they passed away.

Logically speaking, such a problem shouldn't occur in the ICU as long as there's still money in the account, but Li Xia inexplicably felt that her parents didn't want to be a burden on her.

After a moment of silence, he carefully put away the portraits of the two elders and left home.

First, I went to a mobile phone store and bought a basic old-fashioned phone without any fancy features. Then I bought a new smartphone and managed to get an unregistered black card at a newsstand.

After switching her original SIM card to a basic mobile phone, Li Xia immediately turned off the phone and would not turn it on again except when necessary, in order to avoid being tracked through her phone.

Then I went to the bank and withdrew the rest of my money, which was less than 10,000 yuan in total. The bank didn't even ask me what I wanted to do with the money.

"Free Fighting: Strength and Speed ​​Training"

In a quiet coffee shop, Li Xia listed on a piece of paper the ways she could think of to improve her strength.

"Oh, and shooting, melee combat, and martial arts."

The pen stopped at 'martial arts', and Li Xia's eyebrows furrowed. Martial arts... there's a lot of exaggeration in that area.

To say it's all fake wouldn't be so bad, but to say it's as real as the hype makes it out to be a bit much would also be an exaggeration.

Li Xia recalled a wedding banquet she had once attended, where the groom's father had practiced martial arts for many years, practicing Tai Chi and wielding a nine-section whip skillfully.

The customs in my hometown are not good; they will put a tall hat on the groom's father's head and smear ink on his face.

As a result, Li Xia witnessed a truly fantastical scene: the uncle was extremely proud and refused to accept this outdated custom.

Five or six young men stepped forward but couldn't hold him down. No one knew how he did it, but the people holding him always staggered and let go, eventually managing to escape.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xia finally decided to add martial arts, just in case it could actually materialize into a skill.

After reorganizing his notes, Li Xia pondered for a long time, looking at the long list of things, and finally wrote down a single word at the end.

And circled it, then tapped it heavily.

'money'

All of the above plans have in common that they require a large amount of money to support them.

The source of the money was a shiny silver coin that suddenly appeared between Li Xia's fingers.

【Meiji Ryoyang】

[Valuables & Currency]

[Comment: A type of silver coin; perhaps in some parts of the world, someone would be willing to pay a high price to collect it.]

I just checked online, and the price of Meiji Dragon Dollars fluctuates greatly, ranging from four or five million to as little as a few hundred dollars.

However, these items in my possession were specifically selected by the system as valuable items, naturally belonging to the top tier.

Therefore, raising funds still depends on these silver coins.

Li Xia made up his mind and carefully put the silver dollars away.

set off!

Nanjing is an ancient capital with the charm of Jiangnan, and its cultural industry is quite rich. The city center still retains many buildings and alleys from previous dynasties.

These alleyways are home to many shops that deal in antiques, especially a wide variety of coins.

Li Xia found a coin shop that looked quite legitimate, and was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of coins in front of her as soon as she entered.

The glass display case was filled to the brim, as if it were a grand gathering of coins from all over the world, ancient and modern.

"Welcome, handsome."

A smiling woman approached and subtly glanced at Li Xia from head to toe:

"Is this your first time here, sir? Are you here to collect or to sell?"

Li Xia took out a small box from his pocket and placed it on the counter. He had no time for idle chatter and simply said, "Make the move."

The woman, however, was not surprised. She had seen all sorts of people in the coin shop.

Upon opening the small box, one could see a gleaming silver coin inside.

If it's genuine, this is the condition.

Upon closer inspection, I almost swore. Who made this fake? It's so careless.

They can't even do a good job of aging it; it looks like it's only been in circulation for ten years or so.

"Young man, your coins are..."

The woman held the silver coin in her hand and examined it carefully, but she couldn't bring herself to say what she had only said halfway through.

The more I looked, the more alarmed I became, realizing that all the details I knew so well matched up perfectly.

And then there's its condition.

If it were true, the string of numbers flashed through the woman's mind—the final price after the auction.

Good heavens, could it be that I've really met a treasure?

Suppressing her burning desire, the woman took out a magnifying glass and examined the object closely, racking her brains to find something amiss.

But no matter how she looked at it, there was nothing wrong with the silver coin; it was practically perfect, so perfect it didn't seem real.

But if there really is no problem, then we'll really make a fortune!

There are plenty of people willing to pay a high price to buy it. Putting aside everything else, this silver coin can be used to launder at least five million in illicit funds.
