Chapter 74 - CHAPTER 74

Ten Million Points, Level 3 Force Suit

In the Star Tower, Xu Mo's suspended body slowly descended as he opened his eyes. His feet touched the ground with purpose.

"System, open the properties panel."

During the earlier ritual, he had been too focused on controlling the magic and had silenced the notification chimes. He still didn't know if the undead he converted counted toward his point tally.

A thought was all it took. A transparent panel unfolded before him:

[Name: Xu Mo]

Age: 20

Strength: 1,495 tons

Speed: 1,410 m/s

Telekinesis: 1,280 tons

Special Ability: Space Freeze

Points: 11,538,200

Level: Planetary 1

Xu Mo's eyes widened. Over ten million points!

Everything he'd earned before had barely scraped two hundred thousand. Not even close. But now? He felt like he had struck gold overnight.

He was just about to open the mall when he sensed someone entering the villa outside. With a flicker of thought, Xu Mo abandoned the Star Tower and reappeared in his home.

In the living room, Anne sat alone, her expression clouded with loneliness. At the sound behind her, she turned. When she saw Xu Mo, her face lit up in surprise. She leapt from the sofa and threw herself into his arms.

"My dear, you're finally back!" Her voice cracked, thick with emotion.

Xu Mo stroked her hair gently. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Anne shook her head, pulling back to study his face. Tears gave way to a trembling smile.

"No… I just missed you too much."

Xu Mo chuckled softly. "It's only been a few days. Look at you, so worried."

Anne blinked, confused. "A few… days?"

A sinking feeling hit him. Xu Mo glanced at the wall clock — October 28, 2008. His heart skipped. Over two months?!

He remembered clearly: Wanda's university had started in August, and that was when he used the Dreamwalking Technique. He had only spent a week in the other world.

"How long was I gone?" Xu Mo asked.

"Seventy-three days," Anne answered instantly.

Seventy-three… He calculated quickly. The time ratio was roughly ten to one. Relief washed over him — at least he hadn't lingered longer, or years could have slipped by here.

Anne broke into his thoughts, her eyes gleaming with intent. "After more than two months apart, is there really nothing you want to do?"

Xu Mo feigned surprise. "Actually, now that you mention it… the flowers at home need watering."

Anne's expression darkened, her gaze sharp. "It's not just the flowers that need watering." With a sudden push, she sent him tumbling onto the sofa.

By the next morning, Xu Mo was back in the Star Tower, refreshed. He stretched, murmuring to himself, "After all, nothing beats your real body."

The isotopes he left in parallel worlds couldn't compare. Even Captain America admitted they could spar on equal ground — but here, in his own body, Xu Mo was unrivaled.

As he approached the training room, Xingji appeared beside him with a mischievous smile.

"Master, isn't it boring training alone? Need a sparring partner? I can even customize my outfit!"

She spun, her clothes shifting seamlessly: black-silk office lady, lolita dress, sailor suit, nurse uniform… every trope imaginable.

Xu Mo's brow twitched. "Stop browsing garbage on the internet when you're idle." He turned and stepped into the training room, door shutting behind him.

Xingji frowned in confusion. "But… isn't this what people online like the most?"

Inside, Xu Mo steadied his restless emotions. His strengthened body carried its own problems — namely, he felt like he had lost the ability to enter Sage Time. With a deep breath, he focused and opened the system mall.

First priority: treasures to enhance strength. Slowly accumulating power was inefficient. Each realm had shortcuts, rare items that propelled advancement.

Scrolling through the options, Xu Mo's eyes caught on one:

Planetary Nutrition Chamber

Contains a unique spiritual fluid capable of advancing a Planetary Level 1 being to Planetary Level 9 within one month.

Cost: 500,000 points.

"One month…" Xu Mo muttered. Among all the treasures, this was the fastest. His decision was instant.

"Purchase!"

With over ten million points, he could afford to be decisive.

Next, he searched for mental enhancements. His choice: Bi Bo Sui, a shimmering spiritual liquid. Each drop cost 100,000 points. Ten drops would raise his psychic power from Planetary Level 1 to Level 9.

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Bi Bo Sui ×10. Points consumed: 1,000,000."

Satisfied, Xu Mo kept browsing. Strength wasn't only body and mind — equipment mattered too. Moments later, another chime rang:

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Level 3 Force Armor: Feather God Armor. Points consumed: 2,600,000."

The armor, like the Black God Set, could alter its appearance at will. Higher-level suits were locked; with his current Force capacity, Level 3 was the limit.

With a thought, Xu Mo summoned the armor — a feather over half a meter long, white and gleaming. He pricked his finger, letting a drop of blood fall.

At once, the feather dissolved into a silken liquid, coating his body and spreading outward. In moments, it hardened into a sleek, seamless battle suit that enveloped him completely.
