Mu You hurriedly clicked on the text to check out this harvest.

[The watchman’s jack-o’-lantern: a lamp used for lighting when the watchman patrols at night. When lit, it can reflect things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The event trigger rate is increased by 30%, effective only at night. 】

"Lantern?"

Mu You was startled and clicked on the text of the pumpkin lantern.

The next moment, a strange-looking pumpkin lantern appeared in his hand.

The head of the golden pumpkin is carved with the image of a grimace. The inside of the pumpkin is hollowed out, and a transparent bottle is placed in the middle. The bottle is filled with some powdery floating particles, which constantly emit little bits of fluorescence.

On the rope at the top of the pumpkin, there is also a wooden stick about two feet long. One end is connected to the pumpkin lantern, and the other end is held by Mu You in his hand.

"Can reflect 'things that cannot be seen with the naked eye'... What does this mean? Ghost? Ghost?"

Mu You frowned and looked at the explanation in the text.

After thinking about it, he lifted up the pumpkin lantern and looked at the surrounding ground to test it.

The result was naturally nothing unusual.

Under the strong light of the day, the fluorescence emitted by the jack-o-lantern is obscured to the point of being undetectable.

What's more, the game description specifically mentions that the effect of the jack-o'-lantern is 'only effective at night'.

"It seems we can only wait until tonight to try again."

Mu You shook his head, clicked on the text of 'Pumpkin Lantern' again, put the pumpkin lantern back into the game, and then looked at the next item in the game.

[Backpack: A backpack that has been released by a space spell. There is a different world space with a length, width and height of 100 meters sealed inside (it can be integrated with similar space items to expand the scope of the internal space). The exterior can be transformed into any backpack style, and the interior can also be switched to otherworldly space or ordinary backpack mode at any time. 】

"Isn't this just a storage bag?"

Mu You was stunned for a moment. Having experienced the abuse of a large number of movies and novels, he naturally understood how important a storage prop was in exploring another world.

Hastily click on the text of the backpack.

A small string-top bag made of black cloth appeared in Mu You's hand.

However, this backpack is only about the size of a palm. It is more like a cloth bag than a backpack.

But when Mu You opened the gauze and looked inside, he was stunned.

This pocket is indeed connected to a portal to another world!

Looking down, there is a faint light coming from it. It seems to be the interior of a wooden shed below. Along the mouth of the bag, a ladder has been set up for easy entry and exit.

It's a pity that the mouth of the bag is too small, and Mu You can't reach his limit by stretching an arm in.

"By the way, the text says that this backpack seems to be able to transform freely... How can this be changed?"

Mu You looked at the pocket in his hand, thought for a moment, laid it flat on the ground, and then tried to imagine the appearance of a suitcase in his mind.

With a soft popping sound, the palm-sized pocket actually turned into a large travel suitcase with rollers and handles.

Mu You unzipped the box, and after opening it, it was indeed the wooden shack from another world inside, and the gap that was the size of a palm before had now become a one-meter-square entrance, which was definitely more than enough to get in now.

Mu You walked to the door, locked the door, and closed the curtains. Then he walked back to the box, followed the ladder connected below, and stepped into the box.

Coming down the stairs, Mu You turned around and looked around. What appeared in front of him was a small wooden house of less than thirty square meters. There was a rough wooden bed in the house, covered with a thick layer of hay, and there was another bed not far away. A wooden workbench with various empty bottles and utensils placed on it.

Other than that, there was nothing else, and the whole room looked like a long-abandoned studio.

After looking around, Mu You finally walked to the door of the shack, opened the door and walked out.

Dazzling light came, and outside the hut, there was actually a grassland comparable to a football field. The ground was covered with green grass, the air was fresh, and there was plenty of light.

Mu You looked up and saw that the edges of the box were faintly visible in the four corners of the sky.

And directly above his head, there was a hazy ball of light floating, constantly emitting soft white light. It was it that acted as a light source, illuminating the entire space.

Mu You curiously walked to the edge of the space and tried to reach forward and touch it.

As a result, the front seems to be isolated by an invisible wall, and your hand will be bounced back immediately if you approach it.

He tried several other directions, but the result was still the same. All sides were blocked by invisible walls, and he could not take a step out of space from any direction.

This scene reminded him of the movie "The Truman Show". No matter how you look at this place, it looks like an independent space forcibly separated from the real world. Of course, the size of this space is smaller than that of "The Truman Show". If there is more, it will definitely be more than enough as storage space, but it is almost impossible to live in it for a long time.

"However, since this backpack can be opened in both the game and reality, is it possible to travel between the two worlds through this backpack?"

When Mu You returned to the real room through the backpack entrance on the roof of the small shed, this idea suddenly came to his mind.

He did what he thought of and immediately found an empty water glass and threw it into the shack.

Then I closed the box and tried to open the backpack in the game.

As a result, a prompt pops up on the screen: [Warning: The backpack contains unknown items and cannot be opened. 】

"It really doesn't work..."

Mu You smiled bitterly. As long as there were things in the backpack that were put in from the earth side, they would not be able to be opened in the game.

It seems that it is not that easy to get through the 'wall' and go directly to the wizarding world on the opposite side.

Fortunately, this limitation does not affect the practical use of the backpack.

Anyway, Muyou is currently in a state of poverty in the game, and there is no need for this backpack to carry things in a short period of time, so he might as well keep this backpack for use in reality.

After putting away his backpack, Mu You looked at the last prop.

[Watchman skin: Dark candles light green lanterns, watch the clock in the middle of the night! After loading, the game character will be replaced by 'Watchman'. ps: Wearing skins can give the Fool’s game character a corresponding appearance and identity, and can be realized in reality. Skins you already own can be switched at any time, and attributes and levels are inherited. 】

[Watchman: A job that tells the time for village residents, and also undertakes part of the night patrol tasks. Fixed task: Between 00:00 and 4:00 a.m. every day, if you go out on patrol for at least one hour, you can gain one year of life. This task is limited to once per day! 】

"Task!?"

Mu You was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

He said that this game should not only consume lifespan, but cannot gain lifespan.

It turns out that the way to gain lifespan is to replace a certain aboriginal in the game and complete their original work, and you will receive lifespan as a reward!

Yes, if life is regarded as the currency of that world, then completing the work and getting paid is indeed a reasonable logic.
