As dusk approached, Xiao Jie bid farewell to "I Want to Be Immortal" and they both logged off for the day.
After dinner, instead of going out for a run, he logged back into the game.
The scene shifted, and his character appeared inside the ancestral hall of Ginkgo Village.
This was the only truly safe place after dark.
He wasn't planning to stay up all night leveling, but rather intended to use the quiet hours of darkness to read through the books in his backpack.
During the day, he was too busy leveling up and couldn't calm his mind, and at night, unable to leave, it was the perfect time to thoroughly explore the game's literature.
Glancing out of the ancestral hall, the night in Ginkgo Village was pitch black, with only the lanterns at the entrance of the hall and the dim yellow light from the oil lamps inside, seemingly the only warmth in the cold darkness.
