As Fang Senyan watched all his attributes except Charisma rise simultaneously, a sense of exhilaration washed over him. He thought to himself, no wonder he had always held such an inexplicable fondness for this old goblin; the fellow was undeniably useful. (Net) And that Gold Mine's third major ability was shamelessly, utterly vile—perfect for pestering plot characters who required a certain reputation level before they would even talk to him. One could only imagine the misery of being harassed by someone with a Charisma score of 1, yet being utterly unable to ignore them!

Seeing all this, Fang Senyan was suddenly struck by a profound longing for the plot characters from previous experiences, like Mogul, Old Barry, and all those who had given him trouble based on Charisma. He couldn't wait to unleash Gold Mine upon them, letting them understand the universal truth that fortune spins in turns.

Having settled everything, Fang Senyan was instantly depressed to realize: there were only thirty seconds left before the deadline to leave the world! Delaying any further would clearly incur a deduction of Universal Points, so he frantically selected the return sequence. Amidst the chaos, his figure gradually faded, dissolved, and he departed that realm.

The next time he materialized, he found himself in a truly marvelous place. An invisible, transparent barrier supported him beneath his feet, while swirling white clouds enveloped his surroundings, and the wind howled. Below, he could make out dense green forests, snow-capped mountains, and houses the size of matchboxes—it was as if he were overlooking the ground from tens of thousands of meters up. Streaks of magical light occasionally flashed past him, appearing utterly fantastical and awe-inspiring!

Next came the combat summary, a rapid series of images: his battle with the Mountain Troll, the completion of the Gringotts Gringotts vaults' two mechanisms, and the exploration of the ancient underground Goblin Kingdom—all flashed by, then froze in place.

The following information then materialized in the air: "Scene: The Magical World of Harry Potter" "Difficulty: Easy" "Pain Reduction Level: 50016" "Individual Ability Extra Enhancement: 0%." "Current Scene Exploration Percentage: 27.31%" "Milestone Completed in This World: The Compassionate One, Title Acquired: Feedback from the Bowtruckle." "Title Completion Progress as Follows: The Enthusiast, Remaining Progress: The Ultimate Task at the Magical Sports Equipment Shop / The Ultimate Task of the Borgin and Burkes Shop Owner." "Milestone: Suspect, Remaining Progress: Kill 9 Contractors." "This World is a Free Scene: No combat records from unrelated Contractors will be obtained. When engaging with other Contractors, if your Perception surpasses the opponent's, you may exert Perceptual Suppression, preventing them from obtaining detailed combat records." "Mission Theoretical Excavation Degree: 63%" "Mission Completion Evaluation: A_, Note: The lowest level is E, the highest is Perfect. (Although only two mechanisms in the depths of Gringotts were deciphered, the ancient Goblin Kingdom from ten millennia ago was extensively explored.)" "Scene Completion Reward: Free Attribute Points, 4 points + 1 point (based on +1 Renown), Universal Points 500, Potential Points 2." "Character's Current Remaining Free Attribute Points: 5 points." "You can assign these free points at any time to your character’s base attribute scores (Strength/Agility, etc.) to enhance your body."

Five free attribute points? Fang Senyan was immediately astonished and couldn't help but exclaim, "I wasn't involved in the main plot this time, and I didn't even touch the Sorcerer's Stone. How in the blazes did this damned Space calculate this?"

At that moment, a squat, hunchbacked, sleazy old goblin suddenly popped up beside him, exclaiming in amazement, "Wow, this place is gorgeous." He then began poking and prodding things, before somehow producing a rusty hammer from who knows where... Seeing anything shiny, he immediately prepared to pry a piece off.

A dark line appeared above Fang Senyan's head. He grabbed Gold Mine by the scruff of his neck and yanked him back. Though his tone held annoyance, it was rooted more in concern than true anger.

"Hey, hey! You rustic bumpkin, you'll die if you fall off!"

Gold Mine flailed his limbs in the air, protesting furiously, but Fang Senyan ignored him, noticing a new prompt flash from the Nightmare Mark: "Your Renown Value has reached 53 points." "You have met the requirement to advance the Nightmare Mark's Rank. Please select an upgrade for your Rank as soon as you return to the Space."

As these lines vanished, Fang Senyan felt the scenery before him blur, dissolving back into darkness. When his vision cleared, he had returned to his quarters as usual. Gold Mine, the goblin, seemed exceptionally excited in this new location, scurrying about, touching everything, occasionally letting out an exclamation, and even spitting on a dirty spot and rubbing it with his finger... Watching these actions, Fang Senyan felt a genuine urge to collapse and lose his mind.

Since Fang Senyan hadn't engaged in overly intense combat before returning, and had obtained sufficient rest, his energy levels were quite high; there was no need to sleep. He decided to stop minding the utterly wretched Gold Mine for now, and began taking out the spoils from the last world, one by one, from the Nightmare Mark's inventory to take stock of all his current spare items.

Items: Troll Soul Artifact Weapon: Mountain Troll's Massive Leg Bone Item: Ghost Sharpening Stone Item: Rotting Eyeball Item: Fang Disk Scroll: Dark Voodoo Food: Mars Chocolate Bar Type I Metal Dissolution Agent Undetermined Item: A roll of thick leather Unknown Wonder: A Vampire Bat injected with digestive enzymes.

Among these items, Fang Senyan had no intention of selling the Item: Troll Soul Artifact. He considered using this item to raise the quality of either "Ambition" or "Obsidian Fossil Anchor" to Silver Plot Grade. At that point, the usage conditions for the Type I Metal Dissolution Agent would be met, allowing him to upgrade it directly to Lv7.

As for the rest of the items, Fang Senyan planned to sell them. After all, after deducting the usage of "Insight" and the wages paid to Gold Mine, Fang Senyan was left with only about 3800 Universal Points and 2 Potential Points.

Most critically, during that fierce battle, Fang Senyan's Butcher's Bone Cleaver had shattered due to excessive parrying! This forced him once again into the predicament of facing opponents unarmed... "Ambition," a weapon that could only fire once per minute, could absolutely not be used as a conventional weapon. Therefore, Fang Senyan's urgent need was undeniably for a new weapon.

Truthfully, he found the Butcher's Bone Cleaver quite comfortable to use, especially the passive "Parry" effect, which was a divine skill for someone like Fang Senyan who specialized in protracted combat. Among his ideal exchanges, weapons with a "Parry" characteristic—such as nunchaku, gauntlets, or short swords—were the priority.

After finalizing his plans, Fang Senyan intended to upgrade the Nightmare Mark's Rank in the Space, and then figure out how to appraise the two items. Just as he was about to leave, he felt Gold Mine tugging at the corner of his clothes from behind, looking up at him pitifully:

"Master..."

Fang Senyan was puzzled:

"Gold Mine, what is it? Are you hungry? I'll go buy you food right now."

"I want it."

"I'm a man. You want...? Be good, I'll give you 300 Universal Points, you can have any woman you desire."

"I want it."

"I'm only interested in any female creature that catches my eye!"

"I want it."

Gold Mine stuck out a finger, stubbornly pointing at that scroll: Dark Voodoo.

Fang Senyan wiped his brow:

"Alright, take it... Hey, hey! This thing is valuable, what do you want to do with it?"

Gold Mine said nothing, tilted his head, and squinted at Fang Senyan. His aggrieved look was more innocent than Ah Jiao after her photos were taken, and more resentful than Cecilia Cheung after a group picture. A jolt went through Fang Senyan's heart. He suddenly remembered that this poor goblin, Gold Mine, had been tricked into servitude because of amnesia; he hadn't offered a single perk, yet achieved 120 Loyalty. In comparison, Fang Senyan realized he was the goblin among goblins, the overlord among goblins!

The thought struck him, and Fang Senyan hastily took out the Dark Voodoo scroll, bowing and offering it with both hands. Gold Mine let out a sharp snort from his nose, crossed his arms over his chest, and beckoned with a hooked finger:

"Universal Points?"

Although Fang Senyan was grumbling internally, he plastered a smile on his face and traded 2000 Universal Points over, solicitously asking with a deferential air, "Is that enough?"

Gold Mine snorted, showed him the back of his head, but the corner of his mouth revealed an indescribably sly grin.

Fang Senyan shrugged, silently reciting the mantra in his heart, "He is my servant, he is my servant, do not stoop to his level." He then recalled in his mind, numerous times, the summoner Phil’s description of caring for the summoned wolf: the sheer agony of caring for it like a father and mother, feeding it, cleaning up after it—it was exhausting and tear-inducing. Only then did his temper level out. He secretly rolled his eyes and walked out.

Outside, Fang Senyan hesitated for a moment. Five full points of free attribute points! After a moment of thought, he recalled the situation when Mogansa had taken his measure, and couldn't resist investing one point in Perception, with the remaining 4 points going into Stamina. He was immediately prompted by the Nightmare Mark:

"Your base attribute: Stamina, under naked/no-buff conditions, has exceeded 20 points." "An additional base attribute reward has been granted. Please make a selection within ten seconds." "A, Base Attribute Reward I: Steroid Rage, grants a damage bonus to all physical attacks. The bonus value is 6% of the maximum Health Cap, this damage will not exceed 20 points. It will not be subjected to secondary damage reduction calculation." "B, Base Attribute Reward II: Mr. Fitness, increases maximum Health by 100 points."
