Jin Xing lay in an inn, satisfied that he finally completed the quests and leveled up. When he lied down on the bed, he immediately fell asleep. Fighting the Rock Centipedes seemed to have kept him awake.

"Yawn...Huh? I'm still in the game?" Jin Xing was confused when he woke up but remembered that players could sleep inside the game. He felt this function itself was amazing and wondered how Lankwid Co., the company behind the game, managed to create such a thing.
'There's no use worrying about it too much.' Jin Xing got up and checked his status panel, eager to see the changes to it.

Jin Xing's lips curled up into a smile as he read the information for his new skills. He thought it was odd that he could create magic skills so easily but dismissed the thought immediately.
After going over his status panel and organizing his stat points, Jin Xing logged out of the game.
...
After logging out, Jin Xing found that the bruise that was on his arm had already healed a good amount and barely stung. He was delighted with this and left the bed.
He sat at his desk and opened up his laptop, which was already on the forum page for Prism Online. He then went to YouTub3 and looked up videos on how to properly skin and harvest animals.
Since it was morning and he had just woke up, Jin Xing was rather energized after getting his morning rest and stayed up to watch the entire 3-hour video of everything regarding harvesting animal materials.
Qing Lu had woken up in between the video and entered the room to see if Jin Xing was still asleep.
"He's gonna pay a heavy price for betraying his own bro-" As Qing Lu opened the door slowly, his face turned pale as he noticed Jin Xing staring right at him with headphones on his head.
Qing Lu looked like a thief caught in the act. He was holding a container full of markers and pens. Not only that but in his other hand was his phone.
Jin Xing looked at the two objects in his hands and immediately deduced what Qing Lu was planning to do.
Qing Lu didn't even speak before slowly leaving the room while struggling to close the door.
"Just...forget you ever saw me." He said in a quiet voice before closing the door. Fast footsteps could be heard from outside of the room before another door was opened and slammed shut.
Jin Xing felt amused when he thought of Qing Lu's plan and went back to watching the video.
"So, now that you've finished skinning the rabbit, you should have a fresh layer of pelt. Now it's time to learn which body parts are harvestable and how to harvest them..."
-- 5 Hours Later
"Hmm...Everything seems much easier now that I've watched that video. But since I still have a couple questions, maybe I should try to find other videos that could help me."
Jin Xing searched through Youtub3 for half an hour but couldn't find the type of hunting videos he was looking for. After losing hope for Youtub3, he went to Googl3 and searched something up.
"I know this may sound stupid but...Hunting...and Harvesting Class...for Prism...Online." Jin Xing was amused when thought about the lengths he was going to just for a game.
But either way, he still searched it up, and he immediately found what he was looking for.
"Prism Online harvesting class...Hm, seems legit." Jin Xing clicked on the website without hesitation and was brought to a page that reminded him of the Prism Online forums.
He clicked on the 'Classes' button and was taken to a page with multiple videos regarding Prism Online hunting and harvesting. Jin Xing was satisfied and immediately clicked on one of the videos.
"Since you're watching this video, I'm a hundred percent sure that you're playing in Independent Mode on Prism Online. Otherwise, there'd be no need for you to watch this video since the game gives Assistive Mode players a fixed amount of items per item drop. Now, with that being said, let's get into the basics!..."
Jin Xing watched the entire video, which turned out to be only 20 minutes and he felt somewhat enlightened. Whoever the guy was that was making the video, he clearly knew what he was doing.
All the questions Jin Xing wanted to be answered were answered in that video alone and he watched the next one almost immediately.
{Jin: Yo, you guys are playing in Independent Mode on Prism Online right?}
{Qing: Yeah.}
{Min Min: Yes.}
{Lin Mei: Yeah, why?}
{Jin: I thought so anyway here's a link for harvesting materials from animals. Its long as heck so I think you guys should watch it early in the day. And after youre done click on this link and watch this vid that teaches you how to harvest the mobs in prism.}
{Qing: Yoooo thx. You paid for your betrayal with this. I already watched the 3 hour one, but I haven't gotten to harvest any mobs myself. the prism online vid will clear up all the questions I have left.}
{Min Min: Thx.}
{Lin Mei: Thx. Im gonna watch these vids rn.}
Jin turned his phone off as he unpaused the video and began watching the rest of it.
...
"Whoo. I'm finally done watching those videos, it was like a tv series." Jin Xing felt as if he just finished a TV show and exhaled a sigh of relief.
He felt as if he was caught in a mental trap that forced him to keep watching the rest of the videos until there weren't anymore.
"I guess I should practice harvesting materials from mobs. Huh, what's this?" In the middle of closing the webpage, Jin Xing noticed a link at the top of the page.
It read: In-person hunting classes available. Click this message to go to the sign-up page.
Jin Xing read the message and thought about the idea of attending a hunting class for a while. He thought it'd be troublesome, but also a little fun in the process.
Who knows, maybe he'd learn a few more things while attending the class that might help him in the future. After thinking about it, Jin Xing decided to sign up for the class.
He clicked on the page and it sent him to another one where he had to put in various subjects of information. It was the standard sign-up page, with a little extra.
"Hopefully this doesn't take up most of my time. I still have to go to work today after all. Like I said, until I actually sell an in-game item for real-life money, then I won't play full time..."
While saying this, Jin Xing realized that he had slept within the game, yet he claimed that he wouldn't play full time.
"I can't even hold up my own end of the deal, wow." Jin Xing closed his laptop before leaving his room.
