Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Family with Houses in Another World_1

The only drawback was that this quest could only be completed once a day, meaning he could only extend his life by one year per day. Considering the spending levels in the game, this income was really trivial.
But, looking at it in reality, this task was awesome: with just one hour of work a day, you could add one year to your life. That's a skill many would kill for!
With this task, as long as Mu You didn't foolishly risk his life in the game, his life would keep increasing, not only reaching immortality but also allowing the surplus life to be exchanged for magic tools and abilities in the game.
Waking from his thoughts, Mu You decisively clicked on 'Load Skin'.
A scorching sensation surged throughout his body, as if countless small bugs were gnawing around him, and his bones and muscles rapidly expanded.
Mu You's eyes were bloodshot as he braved the burning sensation and looked down.
His view had clearly risen, and his arms and legs had become lean and powerful. His streamlined muscle lines, like steel wires twisted together, were firmly attached to his limbs.
The once indistinct eight-pack abs on his abdomen visually sharpened, even his clothes had quietly changed into a large dark red robe, and somehow a dark scarf had mysteriously appeared around his shoulders.
The transformation was completed in the blink of an eye, and the burning sensation quickly subsided.
Once everything had calmed down, Mu You looked in the mirror.
Unexpectedly, the face in the mirror was completely unfamiliar.
Pale skin, blood-red pupils, a scarf around his neck covering the lower part of his face. But the forbidding aura still continuously permeated from his cold and stern eyes.
"After changing the skin, even the appearance and body shape change?"
Mu You was somewhat surprised, looking down at the dark red robe covering him.
Originally, his height was just 1.8 meters, but now, he was at least 1.95 meters tall, and his body had visibly bulked up significantly.
"It's like I've become a completely different person inside and out!"
Mu You looked curiously at the unfamiliar face in the mirror.
But that worked too. This skin was the perfect disguise! From now on, whenever it was inconvenient for him, he could just put on this skin and be done with it.
Mu You nodded satisfactorily.
At this point, a new text popped up in the game.
[Fool, congratulations on changing your skin for the first time. From now on, you will exist as the Watchman of the Star Spirit World. Now, please name your new identity.]
Mu You made a strange face. So, his previous character didn't have a name all along?
But thinking about it, it was reasonable. As a banished fool who had sneaked into this world, it was indeed not eligible for a name.
Only after acquiring a 'skin' and usurping an identity of a native could they have the right to claim a name.
[Please enter your new name. Note: The name must be limited to seven characters, cannot be the same as the original skin name, cannot be duplicated with others. Once confirmed, the name cannot be modified for life.]
"A name, huh..."
Mu You clicked on the input box below.
Since being a Watchman was his profession, he was going to casually use an ID like 'Silent Night Walker' or 'Close Your Eyes in the Dark'.
But on second thought, that wouldn't be right. These names would obviously be player-given, and he might reveal his player identity just from the name if he ever ran into other players.
So for naming here, it should be as similar to the naming style of this world as possible, at least at first glance, it shouldn't be apparent whether it's a NPC or a player.
After thinking for a moment, Mu You entered 'Lamp Lighter'
Fortunately, this ID had not been taken.
[Confirmation complete. You have acquired the unique name 'Lamp Lighter' and successfully enabled the 'Character Panel'.]
"There's a panel?"
Mu You was taken aback.
At this time, in the upper right corner of the square game screen, 'Character Panel' appeared.
Click on 'Character Panel'.
A list of data immediately popped up below.
[Character Panel.
Name: Lamp Lighter.
Identity: Apprentice Wizard.
Title: None.
Current Level: Level 1.
Attributes--
Strength: 1.2 (Strength affects physical power, load-bearing, physical damage)

Remaining Lifespan: 55 years.
Spells learnt: Accurate Shot Lv1, Beast Trap Lv1, Animal Speech Lv2.
Skins Owned: Watchman.
Items Obtained: Time Pocket Watch, Watchman's Pumpkin Lantern, Old Wand, Watchman's Backpack.]
A clear attribute panel, and a power agility intelligence system similar to many common games.
From the values, a normal adult's attributes should be based on '1.0'. His first three were above the average, with only a slightly low constitution.
As for the life force and spiritual power below, they are clearly linked directly to constitution and intelligence, their values are exactly a hundred times these two attributes.
As for the three spells below, the first two are at LV1, and only Animal Speech had reached LV2, could it be because he had cast Animal Speech multiple times the day before?
At this time, a new text popped up in the game again.
[Detected you have successfully inherited the Watchman identity, you will automatically inherit the dwelling left by the Watchman.]
[Watchman's Wooden House: a shelter from the storm, also a respawn point. After dying near the cabin, you will automatically respawn inside. While in the cabin, you can consume one action point to enter a 'meditation' state, during which time your character cannot move in the game, but your spiritual power recovery increases tenfold.]
[As the master of the house, you control the 'Magic Pumpkin Lock' at the door. Now, you can consume an action point to modify the opening hours of the house and the password for opening the door. Would you like to modify it now?]
Mu You's eyes brightened, another surprise!
After changing the identity, even the house directly became his.
This strawman's piece of information was totally worth 'buying'!
As for the door password, it definitely needed to be changed. After all, the original password was known by the scarecrow, who knows when it would sell the information to others.
Mu You directly deactivated the password system. Apart from him being able to enter through facial recognition, no one else can enter this room with a password.
[Magic Pumpkin Lock setup complete. Action Point -1, Remaining Action Points Today: 1/5]
With everything set up, Mu You nodded in satisfaction. Now he was a 'Property Owner in Another World' and with a brand-new identity, Mu You was looking forward to the game even more.
He still had one action point left for the day and was just about to make his character explore outside.
But then there was a knock at the door.
"Boss, are you in there?"
