“And Xu Muyan, you’ve already acquired the Healing Skill and found a good job, so there’s no need to risk entering the game.”
“Xin Zhongze, even though you haven’t gained any special abilities, the game world is too dangerous, so it’s better not to enter it. Now that Xu Muyan has a good job and her salary is so high, you can just stay home and take care of the children; she can support you.”
Mother-in-law Shen Xue then looked at Xin Zhongze.
“And don’t feel bad about spending a woman’s money. I believe if you could earn money, you’d also be willing to support Xu Muyan.”
Hearing his Mother-in-law’s words, Xin Zhongze nodded awkwardly.
“Uh, Mom, actually, I’ve also learned an ability.”
People in reality didn’t know that the skills in the game were called skills, so they referred to them as abilities.
As Xin Zhongze spoke, a Fireball directly condensed in his hand.
“You…”
Shen Xue looked at the Fireball in Xin Zhongze’s hand in surprise.
She hadn't expected that not only her daughter Xu Muyan but also her son-in-law Xin Zhongze had mastered abilities.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Xue forced herself to suppress her emotions and said, “Since both of you have mastered abilities, there’s even less need to enter the game. You should both focus on raising your children.”
“Mom, we know. Do you have anything else you want to say?” Xu Muyan asked her mother.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Shen Xue couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her: “When you go to the hospital, you must work hard and get along well with your colleagues…”
After being lectured and repeatedly reminded by Shen Xue, Xin Zhongze and Xu Muyan were finally released.
By this time, Sister-in-law Xu Muchan had already coaxed the two children to sleep.
Back in their room, Xin Zhongze immediately asked Xu Muyan, “Wife, why did you tell Mom that you were the one who dragged me into the game?”
Hearing Xin Zhongze’s words, Xu Muyan rolled her eyes at him: “Are you stupid? Should I have said that you were the one who brought me into the game? You need to understand that’s my mom; we’re blood-related. No matter what mistake I make, she won’t hold it against me. But if she thinks you brought me into the game, putting my life at risk at any moment, she might not say it, but she’ll definitely hold it against you in her heart.”
“Also, the reason I didn’t let you speak was because I didn’t want you to reveal that your memories in the game haven’t been blocked. If my mom knew about this, my sister might know, and if my sister knew, then my future brother-in-law might know. Your situation is too special; I don’t want you to face any risks.”
Xu Muyan said, then placed her hands on Xin Zhongze’s shoulders and whispered, “You are my husband and the father of my two children. We are one. Besides us, don’t let anyone else know this secret of yours. Do you understand?”
Hearing this, Xin Zhongze was a little touched, not expecting Xu Muyan to be so considerate of him.
He immediately nodded: “Wife, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about this.”
“That’s good,” Xu Muyan also nodded.
“Wife, are we still entering the game tonight?” Xin Zhongze asked Xu Muyan.
“Enter what game? Do you believe Mom will come to check on us soon?”
“Then, we can’t just never enter the game again, right?”
“What’s the rush? Listen to me. Next, you just enter the game, and I’ll cover for you outside. Once your level is high, you can take me with you,” Xu Muyan told Xin Zhongze.
Hearing this, Xin Zhongze nodded. That was indeed a good idea.
Knock knock knock!
“Xu Muyan, are you asleep?”
At this moment, there was a knock on the room door and the Mother-in-law’s inquiry.
“See? The inspection is here,” Xu Muyan said helplessly.
“Mom, I’m here. We’re about to go to sleep,” Xu Muyan shouted loudly to the outside.
“You absolutely cannot enter the game,” Mother-in-law Shen Xue warned, and then there was no more sound.
In Shen Xue’s opinion, entering the game would eventually lead to death, so she absolutely could not let her daughter and son-in-law enter the game.
In the room, after assuming Shen Xue had left, Xu Muyan immediately hugged Xin Zhongze.
“Come on, give me one time, and then you can go level up in the game.”
“Okay!”
Soon, a special sound echoed in the bedroom.
Outside the bedroom door, someone had been eavesdropping, but a moment later, she left with a flushed face.
An hour later, Xin Zhongze entered the game.
After entering the game, Xin Zhongze checked his personal panel.
He was already level 9, but his equipment slots on the panel were not yet full.
For example, for the ebony sword, Xin Zhongze had only equipped 7 of them at this time.
As for rings and bracelets, he had only equipped five or six of each, and for necklaces, he had only equipped 4.
As for clothes, not a single piece had dropped in the higher-level areas.
So, after some consideration, Xin Zhongze decided to buy all the equipment from the Novice Village NPC at a high price before doing anything else.
At this time, Xin Zhongze had over twenty thousand copper coins on his panel. Fortunately, copper coins didn't have weight; otherwise, he really couldn't carry so many.
Arriving at the weapon shop, Xin Zhongze spent copper coins to buy three ebony swords.
Next, he went to the jewelry shop and bought 6 gold necklaces, 4 bronze rings, 9 hexagonal rings, and 6 iron bracelets and 7 silver bracelets.
Finally, Xin Zhongze went to the clothing factory and bought 5 pieces of cloth armor, and then went to the pharmacy to replenish a large amount of medicine.
Buying the full set cost Xin Zhongze approximately seven thousand six hundred copper coins.
After buying and equipping the full set, Xin Zhongze's personal panel looked like this:
【Name: Xin Zhongze.

Unique Ability: Equipment slots can be stacked infinitely.
Equipment:
ebony sword (Level Requirement 1, Attack 36-72, Magic Attack 0-9, Durability 64, Weight 8).

…】
Equipping the full set allowed Xin Zhongze's attack and defense to reach terrifying levels.
Especially his physical attack, the maximum attack limit directly reached 95 points.
In such a situation, even when facing a level 10 monster, he could easily kill it.
After replenishing his equipment and supplies in Novice Village, Xin Zhongze quickly ran towards the level 10 monster zone.
After killing some level 9 monsters, Xin Zhongze quickly spotted a level 10 monster.
Demonic Megarhinoceros: (Level 10, HP 1000, Attack 30, Defense 20, Agility 16, Skill: Infection…)
The level 10 Demonic Megarhinoceros had a very high attack, reaching 30 points. If it attacked Xin Zhongze, a normal attack could take away at most 7 points of Xin Zhongze's HP each time.
As for Xin Zhongze's damage, attacking the Demonic Megarhinoceros, with its mere 20 points of defense, could take away at most 70 points of its HP in one hit, and at least 21 points.
If it was a magic attack, one Fireball could take away at most over 260 points of HP in three seconds, and at least 120 points.
This was also because when leveling up to 8 and 9, Xin Zhongze did not put his free attribute points into Magic Attack; he put them all into Spirit.
Now, he could attack monsters from a distance of about twenty meters. In such a situation, he could cast 4 Fireball before the monster got close.
This was undoubtedly much more cost-effective than adding Magic Attack with free attribute points.
Moreover, Xin Zhongze also thought that when monsters approached him, he could completely retreat. In that case, as long as his agility was higher than the monster's, he could kite the monster.
