Chapter 413: Target: The Star Fall Sea!

One word: refreshing!

Two words: powerful!

Three words. Never mind, I can't think of any right now.

Yun Mu closed the Game Panel and looked left and right.

After defeating the Lost Heart, the fog shrouding the graveyard had grown significantly dimmer, and at this moment, it showed signs of dissipating.

Taking advantage of this time, Yun Mu intended to use the random building generation blueprint obtained after using the Super Golden Spatula.

Nothing much to say; she just needed to stuff it into the World in a Painting.

Furthermore, Yun Mu raised her right hand and snapped her fingers with a "pop."

Actually, it would have been fine without the snap, but she felt it added more flair.

【World in a Painting·Unfold!】

A magnificent city rose from beneath Yun Mu's feet, with streets, pedestrians, alleys, houses, and other structures being placed before her one by one.

And the moment the World in a Painting unfolded, its specific effects were presented in her mind.

Besides that, she could even view the rules of her World in a Painting on the Game Panel.

【Order: In a civilized city, everyone must follow the local laws, and those who violate the law will inevitably be punished.】

【The player can set a law that both parties must abide by, and those who break the law will receive magic damage with a 40% damage correction from the painting holder.】

【Note: Depending on the enemy's attributes, skills, traits, level, and the severity of the law, the implementation and punishment of the law will be affected to a certain degree; please try not to set any whimsical laws.】

【Influenced by the system building 【Bank】, after entering the World in a Painting, friendly units will gain the 【Investment】 effect, while enemy units will be marked as 【Debt】!】 【Investment: Each of your attacks has a 25%, 45%, 75%, or 100% chance to trigger the same attack again.】

【Debt: No actions are allowed during the first turn of combat!】

System-generated buildings can actually enhance the effects of the World in a Painting?

Yun Mu was slightly stunned when she saw the last few pieces of information.

This was truly an unexpected joy she hadn't anticipated; looking at the description, the Bank's effect was quite strong.

It was almost equivalent to making the opponent skip an action turn.

Since that was the case, her second building had to be placed here even more!

Without much hesitation, Yun Mu decisively took the item out of her backpack.

【You have used the item 【Super Random Building Generation Blueprint】, currently under construction】 【You have obtained the item 【Partner Invitation Voucher (Orange)】!】 Boom— Along with the Game Panel's notification, a blue and white building grid appeared on the side of the street within the city of the World in a Painting.

Yun Mu had already known it would be like this, so she didn't feel surprised.

When she arrived in front of the location where the grid appeared, the building had already mostly finished generating.

【You have built the building 【Xunlianchang】; here, you can spend Gold Coins to increase experience points and skill levels. This building can be used at most once per week.】 At the same time.

【Influenced by the system building 【Xunlianchang】, after entering the World in a Painting, friendly units will gain the 【Well-Trained】 effect.】 【Well-Trained: First-turn attack speed +10%, Precision Correction +50, Critical Hit +10%】

Ignoring the messages popping up behind the Game Panel, Yun Mu stared fixedly at the effects of the new building, 【Xunlianchang】.

Spend Gold Coins to increase character and skill levels? So overpowered? Although Yun Mu could already spend Gold Coins to increase the levels of her Partners, the Leader BOSSes she recruited, as well as herself, could not be leveled up by spending Gold Coins.

And besides levels, this thing could also upgrade skills! One must know that currently, other than practicing more and casting skills more often, Yun Mu had no way to increase skill levels.

But now, she only needed to spend Gold Coins, give it a little tap with her hand, and the skill level would increase!

This was simply too convenient!

The only problem was that this thing could only be used once a week; if she used it to increase a skill level, she wouldn't be able to increase a character's level.

Moreover, only one person could go in at a time.

It was a pity; although she was already very satisfied with the current effect, it would be even better if it were better.

While Yun Mu fantasized in her mind, she walked through the Gate into the interior of the Xunlianchang.

It looked similar to the venues provided for players to train in many games.

The ground was very flat, and she didn't see any enemies; the wooden walls on both sides were covered with all kinds of weapons.

Huh, what is this? Yun Mu discovered something very interesting in the corner of the Xunlianchang.

"Is this thing a dummy?"

A log covered in scratches had several wooden sticks inserted into it, and underneath was a wooden foot support resembling a chicken claw.

Yun Mu curiously clicked on the introduction of this log using her attribute panel.

【Training Dummy (Black)】

【A dummy for training; it cannot be broken no matter how you hit it. You can set any attributes for the dummy yourself.】

That was it.

It was truly a bit brief.

She wandered around the Xunlianchang a bit more and discovered that besides the dummy, the weapons hanging on the walls also had their own specific effects.

【Training Wooden Sword (Black)】

【A wooden sword for training; it will not be damaged no matter how you swing or slash it. You can set the attack power of the wooden sword yourself, or disguise it as a certain piece of equipment.】

【Training Armor (Black)】

The items were quite complete; if Yun Mu really had a need to test damage, she could indeed come here.

However, at the moment, her purpose for coming to the Xunlianchang was not these.

"Finally found it." On the stone tablet at the very back of the Xunlianchang, Yun Mu finally found the destination of this trip. 【Please select the skill or character level you wish to upgrade.】

Such a line of text was carved on the stone tablet, and below the text were the names of Yun Mu, Brenna, Lucy, and all the monsters she had recruited.

Yun Mu pressed her own name, and the text on the stone tablet changed at this moment.

【Upgrade lv52-lv53: 31,500 (Gold Coins)】

【Skill Level Upgrade (100-100,000 Gold Coins)】

"How much?"

Yun Mu was a bit suspicious that she had misread it, so she hurriedly rubbed her eyes.

However, the text on the stone tablet had not changed at all.

Hiss, 31,500 Gold Coins to upgrade from lv52 to lv53? That seems okay; the Gold Coins gained from winning one battle are about that much.

And the skill levels behind it... if she guessed correctly, it should mean a minimum cost of 100 and a maximum cost of 100,000.

It's not actually that expensive.

Anyway, no matter what, one can only strengthen once a week; using it reasonably and not missing out each week is the correct way to play.

It doesn't matter what is strengthened.

This time, she will strengthen her level.

Thinking this, Yun Mu pressed the upgrade button.

The next second.

【Gold Coins -31500】

【Congratulations on leveling up! Current level: lv53 (Master)】【Your Max HP +2, Attack +4, Spell Strength +4, Defense +1, Speed +1.】 Hmm, leveled up, but it doesn't feel like much... The attribute points provided by a normal level-up for a Master-level Transcendent are only ten, which makes Yun Mu, who is used to a bunch of attributes surging every time she levels up, feel a bit unaccustomed.

Damn it, a mere level like this is simply not satisfying!

Ahem.

Walking out of the Xunlianchang feeling somewhat dispirited, Yun Mu retracted the Painted World and discovered that the mist outside had almost dissipated.

And Lucy and Brenna were walking toward her.

"Miss Yun, are you alright!" Brenna asked about her condition immediately.

"I'm fine." Yun Mu shook her head to signal her to be at ease, then looked at Lucy.

"Just now, what happened on your side?"

"Nothing special happened." Lucy shook her head and explained to Yun Mu what had happened while she was missing.

"We were walking in the mist, and I don't know when we all got separated. I encountered some Undead, but I didn't enter a turn-based battle. Not long after dealing with them, the mist dissipated. I met up with Brenna, then we met the Dwarf, and then it was you."

"The situation on my side was about the same as Lucy's," Brenna said.

"It was about the same for us too," Laidun walked over holding his War Hammer at this moment: "I just asked the others, but the details are richer."

"The Undead that all of us encountered seem to be the same, and I heard from others in the squad that the first few Undead we met didn't seem to attack people, but after defeating those Undead, a particularly strong guy would appear, and many team members were killed by that guy."

"Wait, killed?" Yun Mu was a bit strange: "Then how do you know this information?"

Laidun showed an expression of knowing you would ask that, and continued: "I heard from those dead team members that they returned here after waking up from being defeated, so I think what we just experienced should just be a Hallucination produced by the mist."

"The fact that we are all not far apart after the mist dissipated should prove this."

"Hallucination?" Yun Mu glanced at her health bar and found that the health lost from the Lost Heart had not recovered.

That was not a Hallucination at all.

That monster, the Lost Heart, was real, but it seemed she was the only one who fought the ultra-strengthened version because only she, due to the Game System, was in a turn-based battle, discovering that the enemy wouldn't act at all, with only the option to Skip Turn.

It can't be called a bad thing, at least the rewards given after defeating it were quite good.

It's just that after knowing others fought the normal, or even weakened difficulty, and only she fought a monster with attributes strengthened by a whole fold, she felt like a sucker for no reason.

"By the way, Lucy—" "I know."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Lucy.

Seeing Lucy look at her with a light smile, she said: "I felt it, this power, this sentiment..." Lucy placed her left hand on her chest and lowered her head slightly: "Thank you, Miss Yun."

Now, Yun Mu was actually made to feel a bit embarrassed by her.

"No, it's nothing, that... after all, Lucy's level increase is also helpful to me~" She scratched her cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"What what?" Brenna was confused by the strange atmosphere between the two, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in her heart.

She must figure out what it means, meow!

Regarding this, Yun Mu and Lucy had nothing to hide and directly stated the effect of the Super Golden Spatula.

"Level increased to the same level as Miss Yun... can I use it too?" Brenna asked with great interest.

"This... it should be possible," Yun Mu said, feeling a bit uncertain.

Brenna's previous level was higher than hers; if they really used the Super Golden Spatula to bind to each other, wouldn't the level dropping back be a reverse upgrade?

Although the two's levels are the same now, she wasn't sure if it could be used.

After all, Brenna is not a Partner she recruited from a Dungeon, but one from the real world.
