Xu Yi glanced at Maria, who was standing there dazed, and slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot, do you know about our Holy Fla Studio? I'd like to invite you to join now!"
"Hmm!" Maria nodded in agreent with the invitation, but still didn't seem very enthusiastic.
When they reached the door, Maria suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Yi's back, bit her lip, and made a certain decision.
Xu Yi sensed so movent behind him, turned around, and then t a pair of aggressive eyes.
Such a look could not belong to Maria, so there was only one explanation—the one controlling the body now was Allen.
But why would Maria switch to Allen all of a sudden?
Allen lunged at Xu Yi, and he was taken aback with shock... because he was tackled onto the bed by Allen.
What the heck! How could he tolerate such an act of treachery?
Xu Yi rolled over, pinning Maria beneath him, ready to properly discipline this rebel.
Right at that mont, the doorbell started to ring, ding-dong, ding-dong.
Xu Yi straightened his clothes frustratedly while Maria stood in the corner with a flushed face.
"Dinner is here! I bought three spicy burgers; heard it's a new flavor. Not sure if it's any good!" Ailent was standing outside with a paper bag in hand.
"Thanks!" Xu Yi took the bag, and then his tone shifted, "Maria will be joining us at Holy Fla Studio, prepare a contract for her. Also, I feel like there have been a lot of strange happenings in New York recently. Help gather and organize the news from Spiritual Exploration Daily, I need it by tomorrow morning."
"Ah! That urgent?" Ailent stood frozen at the door.
He thought he'd get a good night's rest, but it looked like he was going to be working late into the night.
After finishing the burgers, Xu Yi glanced at Maria, "It's a bit late now, isn't it unsafe for you to go ho alone at night?"
Maria's face turned slightly red, "My mom is waiting for at ho."
All her courage had been spent on the earlier behavior.
"That's such a pity... oh, that's great!" Xu Yi exclaid.
Ailent watched the two with a puzzled look, feeling the situation was quite strange. Wasn't he supposed to be the one to take Maria ho? Why would she be going ho alone?
Young people nowadays are truly baffling.
As night fell quietly, Ailent saw Maria off. Xu Yi took a cold shower but still felt his body burning.
"A young body just can't withstand teasing!" Xu Yi sighed. Once the fire was stoked, it wasn't easy to extinguish.
But Maria had been so forward, he couldn't drop the ball, either.
"Once I finish up with the urgent matters, I'll have a proper heart-to-heart with Maria!"
To distract himself, Xu Yi checked his system.
Monts later, he closed the window, pulled the curtains, then washed his hands several tis and splashed cold water on his face.
"It's ti to show off the real skills!" Xu Yi buoyed himself up.
"System, I want to purchase a bronze treasure chest."
["Bronze Treasure Chest x2" successfully purchased! 20 Resurrection Coins deducted.]
Purchasing treasure chests was sothing Xu Yi decided on earlier, only after the Jason incident he needed to take a breather.
Now was the ti to open a round of chests.
Before heading to the resort, he had 7 Resurrection Coins. After being resurrected three tis, he had 4 left.
The "Hunt at Crystal Lake" gave him a direct 30 more Resurrection Coins, so now he had a total of 34 coins.
A maximum of 5 Resurrection Coins could be used per day, and to be safe, at least 10 more should be kept, equivalent to two days' maximum usage.
If he couldn't avoid death with that, then no amount of Resurrection Coins would suffice.
"A silver treasure chest costs 30 Resurrection Coins, so with this amount, I can buy only two bronze chests and still have 14 Resurrection Coins left," Xu Yi calculated silently.
The bronze treasure chest floated in mid-air, visible only to Xu Yi.
"What on earth will the treasure chest contain?"
He had only opened one Newbie Gift Pack before, and he wasn't sure whether these treasure chests would be the sa as the Newbie Gift Pack.
[The system has detected that the host possesses several "Entry Synthesis Paths", and the drop rate of entries within those paths will be significantly increased.]
Xu Yi's eyes lit up imdiately when he saw the system prompt.
He had always been troubled by the thought that if he relied solely on devouring entries, it would be incredibly difficult to gather all the entries within the synthesis paths.
It turned out this aspect was linked to the treasure chests.
A bronze treasure chest slowly opened, its cyan light illuminating Xu Yi's eyes, which were filled with anticipation.

[Congratulations on obtaining "Blank Entry: Boxing"!]
[Congratulations on obtaining "Blank Entry: Sculptor"!]
"Yes!" Xu Yi clenched his fist and cheered.
He got exactly what he wished for!
The synthesis path "Necromantic Puppet Master = Necromantic Spells Puppet Master Sculptor" was only lacking a Sculptor; now, he had finally gathered all of them.
[Sculptor (Common White): With a carving knife in hand, even rotten wood and inferior stone can beco masterpieces.]
This entry, like that of a Scholar Painter, could be maxed out if one was willing to put in the effort.
Thanks to the multitude of puppets contributed by Mary Shaw, the progress for Necromantic Spells was already more than halfway, and there were still many puppets left.
As for the Puppet Master, it was a bit more troubleso. To gain experience as a Puppet Master, one had to first contract a Spirit Puppet and then constantly nurture and strengthen it, sowhat similar to "pet developnt".
"All in all, the future looks promising!"
Xu Yi equipped the Sculptor entry on himself, as for "Boxing", he tossed it into the entry storehouse.
"Boxing" was sowhat similar to combat techniques, but the boxing art leaned more towards stand-up fighting; there was overlap between the two entries, and even if he leveled it up, it wouldn't greatly enhance his abilities.
Moreover, he had already thought of a use for "Boxing."
Xu Yi did not hold much expectation as the second treasure chest continued to open.
Given the current situation, it was likely that the bronze treasure chests would produce "Common White" level entries, and even "Common Rare" ones were seldom seen.
Furthermore, the "Sculptor" he had coveted had already been obtained.
But suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth, like a cyan sun slowly rising before his eyes, causing Xu Yi to instinctively squint.
What was going on? He paused, taken aback, then it dawned on him—could this be the legendary "big drop"!
[Congratulations on obtaining "Blank Entry: Marksmanship"!]
[Congratulations on obtaining "Entry Synthesis Path: Combat techniques Marksmanship = Gunfight Technique"!]
[Congratulations on obtaining "Entry Synthesis Path: Gunfight Technique Dark Stealth Eyes of Obscurity = Shadow Gun God"!]
Only one blank entry, still a "Common White" level, had erged, but there were two entry synthesis paths!
Up until now, he had co to recognize the importance of entry synthesis paths.
Trying to get high-level entries through entry devouring or treasure box opening was extrely difficult; the most reliable thod was through entry synthesis paths.
[Marksmanship (Common White): Sure Shot, a marksmanship elite.]
This entry ca just in ti; possessing the Alchemical Revolver ssiah, he was already planning on practicing marksmanship, and with this entry, his chances were even better.
"Gunfight Technique" was likely not a high-level entry, but the good news was he already had "Combat techniques", and once he leveled up "Marksmanship", he could synthesize it, making the task incredibly easy.
Xu Yi's gaze lingered on the last synthesis path; the treasure chest probably "exploded" because of this final synthesis entry.
"Eyes of Obscurity" was a "Rare Green" level entry and "Shadow Stealth" was unknown, but most likely not low in level.
That ant "Shadow Gun God" could potentially be a "Rare Blue" level entry.
Apart from "Hyper Accelerated Regeneration", this was the most advanced entry he could possibly obtain up to now.
