Dalemont's grocery store unexpectedly closed early today. This left many customers, who had various intentions, puzzled. They wanted to buy soy sauce, vinegar, two pounds of cornmeal, red thread, and white flour to make dumplings for the New Year, but now they couldn't.

Unable to buy what they needed, their moods naturally soured. Around Dalemont's grocery store, whispers filled the air, cursing Dalemont as a scoundrel who had probably caught the plague and should die, or at least not live comfortably.

A few who were closer to the store and knew more were puzzled: "What big deal could this be? What is he so busy with?"

Dalemont was looking at someone—no, at a demon. He was examining the main character, a succubus, from head to toe, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What the hell are you doing?! If you have something to say, just say it!" The main character, the succubus, pushed the Yuggoth merchant away as he tried to get closer.

The Yuggoth merchant, pushed by the succubus, didn't get angry. He smacked his lips, turned around, and sat back in his chair, pointing at the succubus. "I never thought, I really never thought you would win—how did you win? The Mocavie family of vampires has controlled this gladiatorial arena for thousands of years. How did you manage to even the score?"

"And you made them lose so much face. After leaving the arena, you weren't even killed. From the looks of it, you haven't been cursed or anything... It's rare, truly rare. Have the Mocavie vampires started eating vegetables?"

"If you can't figure it out, take your time. Don't bother me with this nonsense. It's annoying." The succubus waved her hand, interrupting the Yuggoth merchant who was about to say more.

"Are you not curious? Don't you want to know what's going on?" The Yuggoth merchant couldn't help but ask.

The succubus looked smug. "Of course not. I already know what's going on."

The Yuggoth merchant was taken aback, then eagerly leaned in. "Why is that?"

The succubus lifted her chin and crossed her legs, looking completely confident. "It's because I'm awesome."

The Yuggoth merchant was stunned for a moment, then started to think about something—how much it would cost to take off his shoe and hit this bastard with the sole.

But after a quick calculation, he decided it wasn't worth it. The cost might be too high, so he swallowed his anger for now.

"Just wait, there will be a day when you'll get what you deserve." The Yuggoth merchant thought to himself.

However, whether the succubus would have a bad day in the future or not, it wouldn't be today. With the experience points from the previous fights, including the points from beating Xiao Bai, the succubus leveled up to level 8.

At each level, she gained a feat, and at level 2, she gained a bonus feat. In total, she had three feats and three attribute points. She distributed one point each to Strength, Speed, and Constitution, and with the two-point increase from the blessing of the Abyssal Will, her basic attributes were impressive.

Strength 18 + 2, Dexterity 18 + 1, Constitution 17 + 2, Intelligence 18, Perception 16, Charisma 28. Her Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence were already at the peak of the mundane realm. In most games, the initial attributes, no matter how high, max out at 18. To go higher, you need other methods.

Either level up and add points, or have a special encounter. In any case, 18 is the dividing line between the mundane and the extraordinary. At this level, you are one in a million, a genius, a master. If someone saw her current attributes, they would likely be so envious they'd want to commit suicide, from the top of Mount Heaven to the bottom of the Abyss—no exaggeration.

For her feats, she chose Weapon Specialization, Longsword Specialization, and Advanced Longsword Specialization. Combined with her previous Sword Weapon Specialization and Sword Weapon Focus, her sword skills were not just proficient but truly exceptional.

At level 8, an Arcane Blade is equivalent to a level 8 spellcaster. At level 1, they can cast one spell, at level 3, two spells, and at level 7, four spells. In the vast multiverse, this might not be much, but in a smaller region, it's a fully-fledged wizard. Although the succubus relies on her sword skills, her spellcasting ability is a strong secondary skill, which shows how powerful she is.

The succubus had already planned her future. She would dress as a wizard, deliberately show a weakness to draw the opponent into a melee, and then, when they think they have the upper hand, she would finish them off. As they lay dying, she would say, "Actually, I'm a melee class."

Oh my, how cool would that be! Just thinking about it made her feel amazing!

So, if before she was a "promising young expert," now she was a true, formidable master. In the vast multiverse, there are few as strong as her.

The Yuggoth merchant might not have seen everything, but he had witnessed the grand blessing from the Abyssal Will. He knew the succubus had received a great boon and was no longer the same. Although she still acted the same, she was more cautious and didn't push him too hard.

So, even though the succubus looked like she deserved a beating, the Yuggoth merchant had to pretend not to see it.

"So, is everything okay? If it's all good, give me that girl—I mean, that weapon. We'll call it even." The succubus waited a moment, and when the Yuggoth merchant didn't speak, she directly asked for the girl—no, the physical manifestation of the Abyssal energy that could transform into any weapon.

"Eh?!" When it came to business, the Yuggoth merchant became serious. "That's not what we agreed on. I only said the first step was to build your reputation, just the first step!"

"Wrong!" The succubus slapped the table. "I heard that if I won first, you'd give me that thing! You can't go back on your word!"

"Ha, I knew you'd say that." The Yuggoth merchant, instead of getting angry, laughed and pulled out a crystal. The crystal emitted a soft blue light, and a voice came from inside:

"I want you to do a few things for me. If you do them, this will be yours."

"What things? Tell me. I'll do them—just don't try to trick me, I'm smart."

"First, build your reputation."

The two voices were the succubus and the Yuggoth merchant. If it were anyone else, they would be confused, but the succubus was no ordinary person. She had seen and experienced a lot and knew exactly what was going on. The Yuggoth merchant had recorded their previous conversation.

"So, what do you think?" The Yuggoth merchant looked smug, making the succubus want to slap him. But she didn't show her frustration. "Ah, you did say 'a few things.' Your quantifiers are unclear. It could be one thing or nine things. There's a big difference. This is fraud. If I take you to the God of Justice, I'll definitely have the upper hand."

The Yuggoth merchant didn't back down. "But don't forget, I have something on you. If I expose you as the masked executioner, how will you explain yourself to Xide?"

He was ruthless, but the succubus wasn't weak. With her level up and increased attributes, she spoke more confidently. "If you don't keep me, someone else will. I'll cut off your head, burn down your store, and join Brother Gongming at Liangshan Marsh—"
