Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

The opening performance of the Mid-Autumn Festival early morning gala left a deep impression on Lu Wenwu.

Even after watching the whole performance, as he reluctantly bid farewell to Bai Er Yi Yi and Black 985, and entered the Ghost Gate, transported back home to his training grounds, Lu Wenwu was still immersed in that explosive opening act.

Afterward, he glanced at the program list.

This amazing performance had a very abstract but fitting name—Sunny Day Doll.

“Damn, it was truly a freaking explosive ending!”

Mumbling to himself, Lu Wenwu looked at his wrist, where the Ghost Gate Secure Bureau Special Strategic Support Team Member Terminal was still working, and sent out a group message via Yin Xin to all the friends he had made in the past year.

“I’ve left the warehouse, feeling good.”

Soon after, his personal wrist terminal started beeping incessantly.

A series of “Received” messages scrolled by frantically.

It was just like when a university department sends a notice to students.

With a slight smile, Lu Wenwu inserted the modified phone card from Ghost An Logistics into his personal terminal, reconnected to his home WiFi, and also received signals from Divine Continent Mobile and Divine Continent Unicom.

The power of habit is terrifying.

After living in the underworld for a year, even this outdated elder started getting used to using a wristwatch-style communicator.

It wasn’t until this moment that the world instance settlement finally arrived.

[Settlement in progress]

[You have completed the instance—Journey to the Netherworld]

[Player survival count: Not displayed]

[Side missions completed: None]

[Hidden missions completed: None]

[Special side missions completed: None]

[Main mission completed: Find your way back to the human world by the next Mid-Autumn Festival]

[Instance rating: Unprecedented]

[Instance summary: A workman’s spirit is a workman’s soul. Why can’t you forget about work even in the underworld? If Divine Continent still had the ancient National Top Ten Model Worker Awards, none could claim it over you.]

[Your level has increased to Level 35]

[Your pet, Mao Mao’s level has also increased to Level 35]

[Congratulations, your player level has increased to B+]

[Congratulations, your rest duration has increased to 180 days]

[Note: Your remaining rest duration is now 37 days]

Lu Wenwu wasn’t surprised to find he only had thirty days of rest left; that’s the nature of the world instances.

Unless your rest duration exceeded the time consumed by the world instance, you would only get seven extra rest days when it ended.

The fact Lu Wenwu had thirty-seven days was because he had leveled up, and hadn’t yet used the extra thirty days he gained.

Yet, he wasn’t particularly concerned about it.

The year spent in the underworld was almost like a vacation anyway.

For Lu Wenwu, the most important thing now was… how are the cats and dogs at home?

He rushed from the basement to the living room.

Just as he appeared on the stairs, a huge black figure immediately dashed over, knocking the unprepared Lu Wenwu back to the staircase’s midsection landing!

Who else could it be if not the pitiful-looking Mao Mao?

“Master!”

Mao Mao extended its big pink tongue and licked Lu Wenwu’s face frantically, tears pouring down from its eyes.

A year apart, Mao Mao had grown even larger.

Not only did it look more handsome, the aura from its body had also become much richer.

The Celestial Dog Eating Moon Technique had been cultivated to the fifth layer and was about to break through to the sixth.

From the Spirit Coin spending records in Mao Mao’s account at the mall, it was clear that it had not been lazy, frequently training at Spirit Heaven Mountain.

For a normal player, a B+ level could just about cultivate a technique to the fifth layer under typical circumstances.

The sixth layer would be the achievement of long-established experts like Old Deng or super geniuses.

In other words, even if Mao Mao went out alone to a lower-level instance, in the B+ level player category, it would still be considered one of the stronger ones.

After all, it had been cultivating a Foundation level technique!

Aside from the Influence Body Refining Skill of unknown level which Lu Wenwu cultivated, only the evolved Overlord Fist was Foundation level.

Skills and techniques at this level were definitely considered precious, and would only become slightly more common after reaching the S tier.

At the staircase’s corner, Mao Mao was like a super sticky candy, clinging to Lu Wenwu and refusing to come down.

Having no choice, Lu Wenwu held Mao Mao, who was as big as himself, letting it act spoiled, while using Spiritual Detection to head upstairs.

In the living room, everything was the same.

Familiar furniture, familiar ornaments, familiar cat and dog toys, and familiar… Shadowless Meow Meow Fist!

Xiaobao suddenly leapt from some corner, landing precisely on Lu Wenwu’s shoulder, and started to pummel him.

That’s the spirit.

Everything was as it should be.

Feeling Xiaobao’s two paws with their pink pads giving a foot massage.

Feeling the slight itch as the cat’s tail swept across the neck.

Feeling the warm sensation from both the cat and dog.

Finally!

Finally, it felt like truly living!

This, damn it, this is what life is all about!
