The man's sudden counter-attack had indeed taken a psychological toll on Si Ren.
After all, anyone capable of taking on fifteen people single-handedly by the second day was already a bit beyond comprehension. This was a survival game, not a hack-and-slash.
Fortunately, the man did not search the area thoroughly and instead headed downstream along the small river.
After the man left, Si Ren chose not to relocate, preparing to wait right there until the next day's points were credited.
Given his current physical condition, even if he wanted to move, he likely lacked the ability.
"Successfully survived two days. Rewarded with 40 points. Do you wish to unlock an ability?"
"Yes!"
"Ability unlocked: Talisman Technique."
Though his mental energy was still restricted, unlocking the Talisman Technique was a qualitative improvement for Si Ren.
First, he could now retrieve food and medicine from his Storage Talisman.
Second, having drawn a large number of talisman papers before entering the game, vicious ghosts could no longer pose any threat to him. One came, one died; a pair came, both died. He could finally enter a joyful point-farming mode.
