I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 441 - 46: Stealing Divine Power - Illusion Technique Cultivation (Part 2)

So after thinking for a bit, Gu Mo chose to purchase this second item.

Putting the booklet into the inventory, he started pondering about the third item, which was a very vintage-looking old radio. According to the description, it could possibly pick up strange signals from the universe, emitting bizarre whispers that might grant one maddening knowledge...

It just looked too eerie, and it was priced at a whopping two Silver Keys, so after some consideration, Gu Mo decisively passed on this dangerous option.

After closing the detailed content page, today's refresh of products came to an end. Two out of the three items were useful, which was quite decent. Then, Gu Mo casually looked at the check-in rewards, which was, as usual, 2000 Game Coins, something he was no longer surprised by, nor disappointed.

He also checked other pages, initially thinking there wouldn't be any new information, just out of habit.

However, when he opened the database page, which is only accessible during non-dungeon tasks, he was slightly surprised to find that he unknowingly unlocked a new achievement.

......

"Mind Over Matter (Gold): Thoughts are a reflection of the world, you have unearthed a small portion of your inner potential. Continue on the path you have chosen, and you can forge your consciousness into the greatest tool. The effect of Spirit-enhancing abilities is strengthened, and your mastery of any Spirit-related skills is further improved. (Main attribute currently locked: Spirit)"

......

This seemed to indicate that the achievement was unlocked when the Spiritual attribute truly broke through the boundaries of the ordinary?

Gu Mo pondered, meaning that when the true value of the Spiritual attribute reached 18 Points, it was already unlocked... it's just that the often fragmented prompts did not mention this part of the information, much like the system store, the specific database page is also inaccessible during dungeon tasks.

So he only now discovered that he had unlocked this new achievement...

But this belated surprise was not a bad thing, after all, it was good news. Just unsure whether other basic attributes would receive similar enhancements when their real value reached 18 Points... Judging from the final note, it seems only the main attribute is treated this way?

Or is it that the Spiritual attribute had the most added Points and the highest value, making it the main attribute? So as long as another attribute surpasses the Spiritual attribute later, the system's determination of the main attribute would change accordingly, right... or perhaps if all basic attributes break through boundaries and become even, then what?

His mind wandered, spinning off into many strange thoughts in an instant.

And the only new unlock was that achievement.

As for that long-term achievement that gives headaches... it's still lacking a bit for now, after all, when all is said and done, he had only left the real world for four days, so naturally, there couldn't be any significant progress in that time, just a slight increase in progress.

After a final check, Gu Mo closed the system panel and glanced at the witch across from him, who was still quietly pondering the Holy Relic Stone Tablet. It was unclear if she discovered anything... He didn't hurry to take the Stone Tablet; he leaned back, his whole body sinking into the soft sofa.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, he removed the two Demon Blades from his waist and placed them horizontally on his lap.

Because they were spiritual objects with complete intellectual awareness, even if considered as equipment items, they couldn't be placed in the inventory box, so he could only carry them this way.

Taking out the booklet that should be a mage's thesis he had just purchased, Gu Mo leaned slantwise on the sofa and began to read quietly in the living room filled with a faint herbal scent... Even though he had just returned, and the witch had also arrived for the first time, it all seemed so natural.

Even the air quieted down.

Upon careful thought, it seemed understandable... Kikyo was not visiting a modern world for the first time, even though 1996 and the present year were quite different with significant changes, there would be no barriers to her understanding and acceptance.

So...

Just like that previous journey.

In the train carriage, in the restaurant, on the riverbank slope, in the food stalls during the fireworks festival, the two walked side by side or sat opposite without saying a word, just enjoying the cool breeze from the riverbank or listening to the hustle and bustle of the party crowd, or simply spending a leisurely afternoon in silence.

——Now the two sat quietly in the living room, each doing their own things...

——Essentially no different from the aforementioned scenarios.

Time quietly slipped away in the silence.

The ticking of the wall clock in the living room sounded monotonous, and somehow, the first night of Gu Mo's return had already silently passed by.

Compared to before, this return was much calmer...

There were no new urban legends nor victims appearing... emmmmmm, at least not for now.

...

The next day.

At dawn, the sun had just risen.

Gu Mo stood up and stretched, loosening his limbs, his bones making a light popping sound. Even though he had been reading the whole night without closing his eyes, he felt no fatigue and remained energetic.
