Gu Mo wasn't interested in this set, nor did he become arrogant because the Monkey's attitude had shifted from being cheerful and open to the need to please him. Instead, he felt somewhat inexplicably uncomfortable.

"No problem, no problem, it's still early anyway. Let me first check what the situation is..."

Hearing the other party say that they would do it tomorrow and not that he no longer needed to do it, Fujikichiro immediately felt at ease, smiling broadly as he patted his chest and volunteered: "And it's quick, after all, I've been to Lushan City a few times before, so I have a certain understanding. I just need to see if there have been any new changes in the past two years..."

This opportunity must be seized; whether I can achieve something depends on this time.

Fujikichiro wasn't afraid of troubles or difficulties; he was only afraid that he wouldn't have a place to exert his influence or demonstrate his value... These days, he's always been in a mix of excitement and anxiety, worried that things might change.

Quickly settling this matter, the Monkey showed great initiative, hurriedly leaving the observation tower to utilize the time from dusk to curfew to do whatever he could.

Gu Mo looked back at the setting sun on the distant mountains, smirking slightly. He thought if Fujikichiro were born in modern times, he would definitely be the embodiment of the Spirit of overwork.

After one last glance, he too turned to leave the observation tower.

After allocating the rooms, Hidechika went directly to rest. These past few days of traveling under the stars and moon were especially exhausting for this black-haired young girl, so now she felt a bit fatigued. Having finally reached their destination, it was naturally time to rest well.

However, while Fujikichiro was eager to showcase himself and Hidechika went off to rest... Gu Mo, who had grown accustomed to the team setting during this period, found himself not quite used to being alone in the empty room.

He sat cross-legged and pondered carefully, feeling that life was indeed mysterious. Who could have imagined that he would have this day... traveling through time back to five hundred years ago in the Warring States Era, meeting the wife he designed, surviving by clinging to her, and eventually securing an acting City Lord position during the process.

In the past, with nerves stretched tight or being busy thinking and wrestling with various matters, everything seemed natural. But now, alone, he calmed his mind and thought deeply, finding it all somewhat fantastical and unreal.

Of course, he didn't dwell too much on these feelings and quickly took action again.

Temporarily holding the acting City Lord position, things were much more convenient; for example, asking someone to prepare for him, as he wanted to take a bath.

After giving orders, what he needed was prepared quickly—a wooden barrel big enough for his whole body, with crystal-clear hot water steaming inside. Soaking his entire body in it... just thinking about it was delightful, especially since he'd been traveling for several days, covered in dust and dirt—the sight was heaven.

But Gu Mo didn't rush in; instead, he asked his attendants to leave, not needing their service. After carefully closing the room door, he returned to the front of the large wooden barrel, using the steaming water surface to barely make out his reflection, and opened the Attribute Panel.

Following the usual practice, carrying out the verification for today, naturally still without network connection, effectively treating low blood pressure.

Then, switching to the upgrade page, he contemplated for a while and decided to allocate the point gained from raising Life Level to LV5 to the "Power" attribute... The Constitution had already been increased by three points, which was quite good, making his Constitution significantly enhanced.

It was good enough for now, when facing ordinary-level confrontations...

To reach the next level, such as effectively resisting swords with the flesh, it wouldn't be a matter of adding just one or two more points, so after some thought, Gu Mo decided to rather reinforce the Power to increase output instead of solely enhancing resistance.

Although his current Skills are few, the one powerful skill he has is quite strange. If its Effect can be activated, it might just be that after the enemy severely injures him, they'll find his health bar longer than before the injury. In a confrontation with evenly matched opponents or slightly imbalanced ones, this skill becomes the key to victory.

However, this situation isn't optimal; he needs to increase his regular combat capability.

Accompanied by a comfortable sensation, seemingly flowing through every cell, washing through his limbs and bones, Gu Mo held back from making any sound. During this process, Mysterious Power remodeled his entire body again, like reconstructing skin cells, enhancing muscle fiber elasticity and resilience, and so on.

The only thing he could confirm was that his Attribute Panel's Power Value had risen from 11 to 12 points.

If 10 points of Power represent the theoretical healthy level of a normal person, then 11 points would signify a relatively strong and muscular level, whereas at 12 points...

Strong muscles didn't exaggerate into bulging like those bodybuilding enthusiasts; instead, it possessed smooth lines, resembling the sculpted, ideal depiction of human form with artistic perfection akin to Greek hero statues, full of the beauty of strength.
