After controlling the dream self to complete a simple practice, Wang Zhifan then fell asleep in the manager's room using the Meditation Skill of the Great Dream Saber Scripture to cultivate.

This time he was purely focused on cultivation, not sleeping for rest, so as soon as he entered the dream world, he began to control the dream self with full force for cultivation, devoting almost all his attention to this, except for keeping a small part of his mind attuned to the external world.

After about eight hours of this, Wang Zhifan concluded this session of dream cultivation, opened his eyes as he awoke on the sofa bed in the manager's room, and sat up.

"I feel like the efficiency of cultivating this technique is indeed very high. Even after just eight hours of cultivation, I can clearly feel some progress. The strength of my dream self is noticeably improved compared to this morning. As long as I complete a few more dream selves, or master the Dream Splendor Blade Skill, my level in the Great Dream Saber Scripture will increase to Lv2."

Sitting on the sofa bed, Wang Zhifan evaluated the results of his cultivation in his mind while contemplating his future plans.

At the same time, feeling a bit hungry and thirsty, he took out food and drinks from his personal space and began to replenish his nutrition without reservation.

After ten or so minutes had passed, with his hunger satisfied and feeling mentally refreshed, Wang Zhifan stood up from the sofa bed and walked straight to the glass window facing the street outside, raising his hand to open it from its tightly closed position.

But he did this not to take a big breath of outside air, but because he was preparing to go out for a walk.

Of course, since he was currently in a dangerous world instance, his intention to go out for a walk was certainly not just for a casual stroll. His real objective was to train, specifically to practice the combined combat of his true self and dream self.

In peaceable real-world scenarios, such practice opportunities are rare, but in this world filled with zombies in the Great Catastrophe instance, he could find many opportunities for such practice. The only concern might be the sudden appearance of a boss-type monster.

"Judging by the current sky, it's around 4 p.m. in this instance world. I need to hurry out and find some suitable opponents for a few practice battles before it gets dark."

The reason Wang Zhifan decided to go out immediately was considering the actual situation that it wasn't very early anymore. Otherwise, in a few hours when darkness fell and monsters roamed, with poor visibility, going out would not be wise.

Without delaying at all, standing at the third-floor window of the building, Wang Zhifan then leaped, his figure shooting out from the window, crossing more than ten meters of horizontal distance and seven or eight meters of vertical height, landing steadily on the concrete street outside in a slight crouch for cushioning.

The large number of zombies gathered nearby immediately turned their heads to look at him as something fell from the sky. But they only looked at him for half a second, then all turned back, their bodies emitting a rotting stench, with no intention to attack him as a group.

"Sure enough, my judgment was very accurate; this height poses no danger to me now...but jumping back up would be quite difficult..."

Having completed his first jump off a building in life, Wang Zhifan then stood on the zombie-filled street, raising his head to look at the third-floor window from which he had just jumped, pondering whether he could jump back directly.

But clearly, his strength and physical attributes haven't reached that level yet. Perhaps once he learns the basics of the excellent-grade Lightweight Skill, Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill, he can do it.

"Better take the stairs honestly when returning."

Thinking of this, knowing there were already few zombies outside the door of his third-floor room, and understanding that no one else would open the door, Wang Zhifan turned and quickly walked to the end of the street, beginning to search for his training target.

He wanted to practice combined combat of himself and dream self. Attacking regular zombies was meaningless, as their strength was too weak. Not to mention his true self could take them down with a single blade, even his much weaker dream self could do so, providing no combat training effect at all.

His ideal target was one that was slightly less powerful than his true self but much stronger than ordinary zombies. This way, he could safely become familiar with new combat methods through practical fights.

"It seems that the special monster in the supermarket where I scavenged supplies yesterday might meet the standards... But there are too many zombies around it. If I attack it, it's easy to get mobbed. I still need to find an isolated elite monster."

Wang Zhifan knew very well that the Chapter of Obscurity he possessed only caused non-boss zombies not to attack him actively. If he acted brashly in front of the zombies as if he was a VIP, it could easily anger all nearby zombies, leading to a mob. Therefore, this time, choosing a target couldn't be random. He needed to find a relatively solitary elite zombie, ideally to duel.

Confirming his screening criteria, Wang Zhifan then moved quickly to search around in this zombie city, leaving marks along the way to avoid forgetting his route back and paying special attention to the surroundings to guard against possible boss-level zombies. It didn't take long before he finished searching the area within a kilometer radius, moving to a place farther from the starting point.

At this moment, Wang Zhifan found an area where the number of zombies was noticeably fewer. He particularly noted that the number of zombie corpses on the ground was not many, indicating that the small number of zombies wasn't due to player clean-up. Hence, this area might have the elite zombies meeting his criteria, making it worth a meticulous search. Of course, during this search, he had to be extra cautious, preventing accidental intrusion into a boss-level zombie's lair.

However, after Wang Zhifan heightened his alertness to the maximum—listening with heightened awareness and watching in all directions—after a period of exploration, he didn't find the isolated elite zombie he wanted. Instead, he encountered another player searching in the area on the street, the only female player among the eleven players.

"Hey! Are you also out here looking for water?"

At this moment, the female player, who seemed to be of a gunner class, approached Wang Zhifan proactively after spotting him, her expression carrying both signs of vigilance and desire. Meanwhile, Wang Zhifan noticed her lips appeared slightly dry.

"No, but do you know where the elite zombies are around here?"

Wang Zhifan asked truthfully, inquiring about the information he needed from the female player.

"What do you want to find that for?"

The gunner female player's eyebrows furrowed as soon as Wang Zhifan asked this, then shifted the topic to say to Wang Zhifan,

"Since you're not looking for water, you must not lack it, right? Could you lend me some of what you have? I haven't had any water for a day."
