CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER 36: A NEW SETTING?

After reviewing thoroughly, Gu Mo sighed softly. To be honest, he wasn’t really pampered; it was just a difference in perspectives and ways of living between the two sides. This heroic female warrior believed this world was as such, and insisted on imparting her deemed most suitable survival method to him.

However, Gu Mo came from the later generations, growing up in a peaceful country, in peaceful times, and regarding this Dungeon World, he was merely a passerby. He didn’t need to continuously face such a world. Under these circumstances, expecting him to naturally adjust his worldview, accept a new way of living...

Undoubtedly, this was unrealistic as well.

He pondered, dragging his somewhat heavy and weary body to the pond in the yard, habitually washed his hands, and then opened his Attribute Panel.

In the skills page, the skills list under learning indeed had changed; a new item appeared at the very bottom.

— "Swordsmanship Stance, Proficiency: 34/100."

This was the fundamental skill of Sword Dao he had been practicing recently. It wasn’t the simple division of upper, middle, and lower stances like in games; it also encompassed various "structures." The basic concept was to immediately make effective moves and responses, adjusting various bodily postures accordingly.

Clearly, it hadn’t been displayed before; now it suddenly appeared, and the proficiency was filled a third already, which was quite a good progress.

Gu Mo thought carefully, then dismissed the thought of joy, realizing this was just the "Martial Arts Introduction" level. Besides, he had already been practicing with Minamoto no Yoshiie daily for half a month.

It was only through today’s practical training and pain that he truly started, strictly speaking, this was definitely not fast, even terribly slow... After practicing for half a month, it only showed a proficiency unlock option recognized by the system, this speed is somewhat embarrassing to mention.

Nonetheless, at least now there’s a proficiency unlock option, meaning he can continue to practice repeatedly to accumulate proficiency.

In this regard, the hardest part was originally getting started. But as long as you truly understand, and have a deep and accurate recognition of it, after gaining the system’s approval, the rest is just a matter of putting in time for repeated operations... Hmm, indeed this is a grind system, reflecting in various ways that the grind level might take one’s life!

Feeling a bit concerned for his future, Gu Mo glanced again at the progress bar above with slight sorrow.

After prior cultivation of Yin Yang Technique, the proficiency of his "Fire Bomb Talisman" had accumulated to 90+, estimating he would master it by tomorrow. By then, he could truly acquire a Mage style attack skill for remote "biubiubiu."

The only thing to pay attention to is, as Abe no Seimei said, he hasn’t mastered Spiritual Power or other special powers yet, couldn’t directly use Yin Yang Technique, could only rely on tools—consuming Physical Strength and Spirit in advance, drawing into talismans, and carrying them on himself.

Hmm, like "Summoning Fire Talisman" and "Purification Talisman," at present, they belong more to the tool-making skill type for him.

"Gu Mo, Brother Gu Mo..."

The familiar shouting voice came from outside the dojo, interrupting Gu Mo’s thoughts.

He closed the Attribute Panel visible only to him, nodded slightly to Abe no Seimei, and headed out.

Fujikichiro rushed over chaotically, almost bumping into him, narrowly stopping thanks to him. Never seen the Monkey so flustered, Gu Mo couldn’t help but show a slightly grave expression, asking seriously: "Don’t panic, what happened?"

Could it be unruly citizens in the city causing trouble?

Due to his immersive management recently, he instinctively linked it to this aspect. After all, many times simulation business gave him painful memories of unruly citizen simulator.

"It’s like this... Lord Dao San... Lord Dao San..."

Monkey was panting heavily, speaking intermittently.

Gu Mo’s face changed slightly, feeling a thud in his heart, could it be that the old man finally came to settle the issue of taking away his beloved daughter? No way, need to quickly call Ah Xiu over.

"Lord Dao San’s mansion has a problem! Soldiers from the mountain ran down, saying there were Demon Ghosts in the mountains!" Fujikichiro finally caught his breath and finished in one go.

"..."

"..."

"Oh, I see." Gu Mo nodded, looking indifferent.

"Gu, Gu Mo, Brother?" Fujikichiro opened his mouth, this response was kind of odd, he seemed not concerned at all. This was happening in Lushan City, strictly speaking, it could involve shared responsibility!

"It’s nothing, let me think..." Gu Mo waved his hand and seriously pondered.

Viper Divine Domain had an incident now? He had no impression of this, nor any advantage of foresight in the plot, so he felt it seemed not quite right.

Was it that the old man maliciously designed it? Or was there a problem with the massive amount of Spirit Stones stored inside, attracting unknown Demon Ghosts? Whatever it was, he indeed needed to do something, had to go check it out.

So this was the next new scene? Actually Viper Divine Domain, he thought it might at least trigger this new scene next year, and felt he probably wouldn’t make it because he definitely had to leave the Dungeon World, go out to take a look, couldn’t possibly squat in this world year after year.
