Stats have also surged a big chunk, too bad they're incomparable to those within the instance.
Honestly, he had relied on the strong attributes inside the instance, and when he returned to the real world, he hadn't adjusted yet.
It had taken three days to feel much better.
"But holding onto it, it's a bit eye-catching."
Instantly, Mu Rufeng had a bandage extend from his body, which he then used to wrap up the entire magic wand, before hanging it at his waist.
As for why it wasn't placed in the item slot, it was naturally because the item's attributes would not increase there.
Besides, his own attributes were continuously increasing.
"I stink all over, I need to take a bath." Mu Rufeng sniffed himself and felt a bit repulsed.
He hadn't bathed in over ten days in the instance world.
After Mu Rufeng bathed and dressed neatly, he left the rest room.
Today is October 26th, Thursday, a work day.
As soon as Mu Rufeng stepped out, he saw two employees coming over.
"Brother Mu, you're awake?"
"Yes." Mu Rufeng nodded with a smile and walked past them towards the elevator.
Then he remembered something and turned to ask, "By the way, is Cheng present in the unit?"
"Yes, he's in the office."
"Good."
Mu Rufeng immediately took the elevator to the lobby.
On the way, he greeted many familiar employees he encountered.
In no time, Mu Rufeng arrived at Cheng Youlin's office.
"Cheng, your job seems really laid back, even watching TV dramas?" Mu Rufeng appeared behind Cheng Youlin at some point.
The originally giggling Cheng Youlin was suddenly shocked and frantically closed the RapidVid.
"What's the use of closing it, I've seen it already. But, Cheng, you actually watch 'Splendid Star River'?" Mu Rufeng teased.
"Cough cough, Mu Rufeng, why are you here? And how did you get in?" Cheng Youlin coughed to change the subject.
"You know what I'm capable of. Is it hard to get in here for me? By the way, is 'Splendid Star River' any good?" Mu Rufeng continued.
"It's good, really good. I recommend you watch it too..." Cheng Youlin let slip without thinking.
"It really is good. I finished Parts One and Two as soon as they came out; the second part is even better," Mu Rufeng remarked.
"Right, right, I saw the reviews too, saying the second part 'Moonrise Over the Seas' is even more impressive." Cheng Youlin nodded repeatedly.
"Cheng, lately, since news about the Mysterious World was released, has anything significant happened?" Mu Rufeng started inquiring.
He could search the internet himself, but Mu Rufeng decided to ask Cheng Youlin first.
After all, the relevant departments would have more resources.
"After the news was released, it naturally caused a huge stir, and some big cities even saw some unrest."
"But it's nothing serious, it calmed down after twenty days or so, and everyone has accepted the existence of the Mysterious World."
"The internet is filled with a bunch of people hoping the Mysterious World comes soon, so they can go on a killing spree and achieve transcendence."
"Dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel. I wonder what will happen to these people afterwards," Cheng Youlin sighed.
"Don't worry, when the Mysterious World arrives, by then the Login Bracelets will surely be public," Mu Rufeng stated.
"Let's hope so," Cheng Youlin shook his head slightly.
"Now that you're awake, shall we have a dinner gathering tonight?" Cheng Youlin suddenly suggested.
"Yes, I've already told Director Zhou; we're meeting for dinner at Chef Fei's in the IF Center tonight." Mu Rufeng nodded in confirmation.
"Chef Fei? Not going somewhere more upscale?"
"Well, Qu Lianhong has a coupon that will expire next week if not used," Mu Rufeng explained.
"That Qu Lianhong, does he really need to save that money, seriously..."
"By the way, Xiao Mu, go to XXX later to check if people have returned or if there are any bodies."
"Is it about those who entered the Mysterious World?"
"Yes, recently, since the news came out, we've known that things will get fishy when someone is about to enter an instance."
"If someone knows they're about to enter, they immediately call our department to report."
"We're short-staffed as it is; anyone returning who reports can directly join the department."
"But some people just disappear without news, especially those who live alone, so we have to send someone to check."
"I was supposed to go, but now that you're here, you'll go instead; I still have some documents to review," Cheng Youlin continued.
"It's this busy now? Are we that short on manpower?" Mu Rufeng wondered.
"Of course. Haven't you seen Contractors being sent out on tasks, even the Reserve Players have had their training time reduced."
"And Cheng, how come you're here watching TV shows?" Mu Rufeng teased once more.
"Get lost, I was busy all night, only had lunch to rest a bit, can't even watch a TV show now?" Cheng Youlin spoke irritably.
"Kidding, just kidding."
"By the way, the instance with a hundred thousand people, that had a big impact, didn't it?" Mu Rufeng inquired again.
"Of course. As far as I know, at least two thousand died. If not for the Login Bracelets, the number could've been ten times higher."
Mu Rufeng was slightly startled on hearing this.
Out of a hundred thousand, a thousand's mortality rate is only about one percent.
But the total is what matters, not to mention, most of these were third-level Contractors, and ninety-nine percent had made Contracts with Abnormalities.
Because without Contracting an Abnormality, it was hard to reach Level 3.
Plus, Mu Rufeng had also taken out more than half of the Lord-level bosses... oh, and he'd also killed those seven hundred plus Contractors ambushing him.
Looking at it this way, the death rate was...
"By the way, what did you do to the foreigners? They're cursing you frantically in the forums."
"Especially a guy named Wayde Morgan, he's put up a bounty of ten billion plus some soul banknotes and items to kill you, or at least find out your real identity," Cheng Youlin said.
