Although he returned to the Shelter because of death, Bai Ye remembered the direction and controlled the character to proceed, soon reaching the village discovered yesterday.
On the way, he encountered some stray Corruptors, easily defeating them and collecting materials.
Arriving again at the Village, many Corruptors' roars sounded from the phone screen.
"Looks like many Corruptors gathered here again yesterday."
Bai Ye muttered without fear, controlling the character to enter the Village, swinging the poisonous wooden stick and going on a killing spree.
Like smashing watermelons, each hit shattered a head.
He hacked from the village entrance all the way to the innermost part, without blinking an eye.
Soon, he reached the church.
As yesterday, it was cold and silent.
But this time, Bai Ye was much more cautious.
Slowly approaching, he quietly pushed the church door open without making any noise.
Through the crack, Bai Ye saw a Screecher aimlessly drifting inside.
The Screecher floated like a ghost but had a solid form, humanoid in shape, its face only a mouth full of sharp teeth, with pale gray skin, looking very strange and eerie.
Screamers were typical monsters of darkness, born of darkness, originating from the Evil God's power, unlike Corruptors which were corrupted beings.
Their strength could be considered both strong and weak.
Mainly because their screech not only could shatter bodies but also harm the mind.
That was why Bai Ye felt discomfort even watching yesterday.
But dealing with them was very simple.
Just plug your ears.
Yes, that's it.
As long as you can't hear the Screecher's screech, you can easily defeat it.
So in his previous life, Bai Ye often prepared earplugs when going out to explore to guard against Screamers.
This game, created by Earth's Will, looked simple but was very realistic.
Bai Ye opened his backpack, which contained a rag picked up in the village. Clicking it brought up many options, including one to tear it.
Clicking that split the rag into two pieces.
Clicking again, more options appeared, including "plug ears."
Bai Ye clicked immediately.
The character's ears on screen then had two pieces of cloth covering them.
With that done, Bai Ye smiled and boldly entered the church.
The Screecher immediately noticed, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a shriek.
The rag couldn't block all the sound, but it reduced the pain to a tolerable level.
Bai Ye seized the moment, rushed forward, aimed at the Screecher's head, and swung the poisonous wooden stick.
"Die!"
Bang. A powerful strike.
The Screecher staggered but did not fall.
Its endurance was much stronger than Corruptors.
But Bai Ye was calm and attacked again.
Bang. Another hit.
This time the Screecher finally fell to the ground. Though its head wasn't smashed, it lost its life.
[Collect?]
Of course!
Bai Ye clicked "Yes."
Prompt appeared:
[Collect successful. You obtained Screecher's Skin.]
"Not bad."
Bai Ye smiled with satisfaction.
He remembered Screamers produced two kinds of materials: skin and heart.
Both were useful.
The skin, when ground into powder, could be mixed with building materials as an excellent soundproof material.
The heart was an ingredient for a potion that could temporarily increase speed, but Bai Ye didn't know the recipe.
With the Screecher defeated, there were no more enemies in the church.
Otherwise, it would have come out during the fight.
So Bai Ye was confident in this judgment.
Next, he began exploring the church interior to find useful resources.
Soon, under a statue in the church hall, Bai Ye found a useful item.
[Holy Water.]
[Description: Special water in religious faith, rumored to contain divine power from gods, capable of cleansing curses inside the body and damaging evil spirits.]
"Good stuff."
Bai Ye smiled.
The Holy Water was stored in a golden bottle before the statue, about two hundred milliliters, not too much or too little.
He immediately put it away but hesitated briefly, then opened the Backpack, preparing to synthesize.
[Iron] + [Corroded Iron Knife]
Although his wooden stick was good, Iron weapons were much stronger. With a suitable weapon, he could have killed the Screecher in one blow without a second strike.
The synthesis attempts had refreshed today, so Bai Ye planned to make a weapon first.
The poisonous wooden stick could be kept for suitable enemies or sold.
He activated his talent and clicked synthesize.
The two items merged and a brand-new iron knife appeared.
[Synthesis successful. You obtained item: Iron Knife.]
[Iron Knife.]
[Description: A weapon carefully forged by a blacksmith, very sharp.]
Equipping it, the character's wooden stick was replaced with the long knife.
Compared to the stick, the knife looked more imposing and was more lethal.
Bai Ye continued searching.
Unfortunately, the church was very old; many things inside had rotted and lost value. He could only collect some materials.
After six or seven minutes, he finally found a reward on the second floor.
A Black Iron Chest emitting metallic luster lay quietly in the corner.
Bai Ye happily approached and opened the Chest.
[You opened the Black Iron Chest and obtained Foundation Class Rune Mage.]
As the Chest emitted soft light, Bai Ye was stunned, then showed ecstatic joy.
"A Class Rune! I was cursing that guy this morning for being lucky, but turns out I'm the lucky one?"
"Hahaha, I like it."
Bai Ye happily picked up the Rune and the information appeared.
[Class Core Rune: Mage.]
[Description: Upon use, grants the Extraordinary basic Mage class, along with its specialization, talent, and passive bonuses.]
Without hesitation, Bai Ye clicked use.
The Rune's light surged into his character.
A series of prompts appeared on the screen.
[You obtained class: Mage.]
[You obtained Mage talent: Meditation.]
[You obtained Mage specialization: Elemental Affinity.]
[You obtained Mage basic skill: Fireball Spell.]
