"Another car crash, huh?" Lin Feng muttered to himself.
The Feng Shui of their building was not very good, causing cars to inexplicably crash into it now and then.
Strangely enough, the drivers couldn't open the car doors to escape.
To use their own words, it was as if the car doors were welded shut.
After being rescued, some would scream out in fright,
"This isn't the kindergarten car, get me out!"
Years of living there had made Lin Feng used to these bizarre incidents, which occurred once or twice a month.
He had a hunch that there was a 'welding ghost' doing mischief in the shadows.
………
For the time being, Lin Feng's job was simple, he entirely relied on online typing for a living.
Even if he was handsome, it was of no use because he couldn’t just rely on his looks to feed himself and his little sister at home...
Although his sister's school fees were waived off, there were still some necessary living expenses that he must bear.
Unfortunately, no one seemed interested in the novels he wrote.
He was merely rewriting, based on memory, some war god novels he had read.
However, his poor writing skills often lead him to forget the plot halfway through, resulting in unfinished stories...
He had recently written a novel called "War God Wife Carrying Pigs to Repay Debt".
As soon as he started it, he was severely warned by his editor, Hua Tailang,
"Do not write stories that insult War Gods again; you will be warned and then blocked."
Only one loyal reader named Wolf Exterminator often interacted and fervently gave him 'electricity for love' (rewards/likes).
These years were barely survivable thanks to Wolf Exterminator's contributions and his minimal attendance award.
However, even after knowing each other for four years, he had never seen a photo of Wolf Exterminator, not even knowing what he looks like.
But the way he talked was unabashedly crude; Lin Feng assumed he must be a burly man.
As he lay in the bathtub,
Lin Feng looked at the operating interface that appeared out of nowhere.
It also displayed various attribute panels.
"System, what is the significance of the green experience bar?" Lin Feng pointed and asked.
"Host, this is the experience value gained by demon elimination. Once the demons are eliminated, corresponding experience rewards and hunting points can be obtained, and there's even a chance to drop various items.
Pills, magical instruments, spirit liquid ... even zhencao can be dropped."
"Hold on, you said that zhencao can drop? Isn't that a bit disgusting?"
Lin Feng was a bit speechless, the items that could 'drop' were kind of inappropriate.
"I misspoke, it should be cash! The previous host died suddenly, still using the old version of language." the system explained.
Their line of work also had risks, clueless hosts were not a minority.
Some people who read a few invincible novels thought that having a system made them invincible. They were frequently cut down by the villains.
"Uh, the previous host died suddenly? Can you tell me more about that?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was startled and quickly asked.
A lesson from the past, something he wanted to know in detail.
"His story was rather cliche. He was drugged by his fiancée and betrayed by his best friend. In his desperate situation, he met the requirements to activate the system.
After activating the system, he easily defeated them.
Originally, all he needed to do was kill those two, and his future would be smooth sailing.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to let them go as a gesture of magnanimity, even willing to make them a couple.
Who'd have known that the pair would stab a knife into his heart when he least expected it."
The system also sighed, exclaiming why people play the saint unnecessarily, unaware that readers largely find it annoying.
Such self-destruction, indeed one cannot blame others.
"So, it seems I should avoid being entangled with women in the future," said Lin Feng.
"But don't you need to first have a woman to do that?" The system abruptly inserted.
Lin Feng looked at his left hand, falling into silence.
After a long while.
"Shall we talk about your abilities then?"
Seeing Lin Feng's silence, the system felt as if it had accidentally touched on a painful spot for an adult.
"As for unleashing the Ghost Path Art, the higher the level of proficiency, the greater its power..."
"When you reach a certain level, you can also open the system store, where all kinds of items are available.
But you need the corresponding hunting points to get them..."
There are only two ways to get hunting points: one is by killing monsters, the other is to exchange money for hunting value after the system is opened in the later stage.
However, that exchange rate is a bit terrifying, not something he can imagine now.
Lin Feng listened to the system's introduction, thinking constantly.
His original body had the natural ability to observe ghosts and demons with the naked eye, he had naturally seen many horrifying scenes where monstrous demons devoured humans in his memory.
He had also seen the various methods used by superpower users to combat these demonic beings.
Such scenes, unforgettable in a lifetime!
"Ding ding: Newbie task released.
Kill an ordinary 'ghost', reward is one lucky draw.
To help the host effectively identify.
During the newbie period
Special auxiliary functions are opened, all encountered ghosts will automatically be identified with level and weaknesses. As for superpower cultivators, they can query their levels three times a day.
"How considerate," Lin Feng praised. As a newbie, he really didn't know how to categorize the levels of those ghosts.
Only those mysterious organizations had special identification instruments.
Now, people slowly awakening their superpowers were gradually increasing.
Videos often leaked out.
Not long ago, the hottest video on the internet was of a man wearing a straw hat, his body capable of stretching dozens of meter.
Performing all sorts of high-difficulty body movements.
Unfortunately, the video was promptly taken down an hour after its release.
In the end, the officials claimed that it was a special effects promotional video for a movie.
However, after seeing such scenes too often.
Many people have already accepted the existence of superpower users, whether officials admit it or not is no longer important.
"Instant Body Technique."
With a thought in his heart, Lin Feng carefully studied the technique's gestures.
As long as the special mark is printed in the corresponding position.
You can cast this technique at any time, jumping in space.
Moving to the marked location.
But now it's only level 1, the space movement distance is only 1000 meters.
And the places that can be marked are only five.
"Ghost Path Art Level 1."
As long as you chant, you can cast different techniques. Summon wind and rain, conjure lightning, set traps and so on.
Hollowfication Technique Level 1: generates a skull mask, outsiders cannot probe your identity, 20% all attributes boost.
However, casting these techniques requires special spiritual power as support.
With Lin Feng's current bodily spiritual power reserves, he could only use the techniques a few times before his spiritual power is exhausted.
To increase the usage frequency, he needs to constantly level up.
"Brother, are you taking a bath?" While Lin Feng was still lost in thought in the bathtub, Gu Qianqian's voice came from outside the door again.
"Yes," replied Lin Feng.
"Brother, my classmate sent me some new herbs and two rooster eggs. She said that using them together is very effective,"
"Okay," Lin Feng responded from the bathroom.
This girl always brings weird things home for him to try.
Lin Feng was also considering how to let Gu Qianqian know the story.
The system and the traveling through time, he couldn't explain to her.
But he still needed to find a way to tell her, else she would keep on bringing home herbs.
He slowly supported himself on the side of the bathtub and stood up.
The strength in his legs was returning.
That pill indeed was effective, but there was still a recovering process.
He needs to adapt a little more.
"Brother, what happened to your face??" Gu Qianqian asked Lin Feng, who was drying his hair.
That familiar face seemed to be much more handsome.
"What happened to my face?" Lin Feng looked into the mirror.
"Holy moly, so handsome!"
"Who knew that the increase in attributes can make me this handsome?" Lin Feng was stunned.
"Dear host, of course appearance is counted as an attribute. As a qualified traveler through time,
the system will give you this buff. Have you ever seen an ugly traveler?" The system said.
"By the way, yours has also reverted by 20%," the system added.
"What? I've been this tall for a while, and now you're still making me taller? Is it trying to finish it in one go? Not leaving any room?" Lin Feng was at a loss for words.
It's no wonder he felt a bit heavier.
But he couldn't ask the system to revert it...
Gu Qianqian kept glancing at Lin Feng, curiously observing him.
In the time it took to retrieve a package, her brother seemed to have changed into a whole new person.
His face was so handsome now that she couldn't help but lick her lips... as if reminiscing something.
......
As they were eating, Gu Qianqian told Lin Feng some interesting stories that happened at school.
"Brother, did you know? One of my classmates can create fire in his palms," Gu Qianqian suddenly whispered.
"When it happened in the classroom, many people saw a purple flame suddenly appear on his hand.
Do you think he might be an awakened freak?"
"Probably," Lin Feng said ambiguously.
"But, after that, he didn't come to school. I heard he was immediately accepted by Imperial Capital University, how envious,"
Upon mentioning Imperial Capital University, Gu Qianqian looked longing.
As a student, from a young age, the dream of the Imperial Capital University was instilled by the teachers.
"The sausage tastes so good. You should try it, brother," as she said so, she offered Lin Feng a piece.
The bond between unconnected siblings is always pure and straightforward.
At this moment,
there was a bald man sitting on the roof of a building next to Lin Feng's building.
Looking down on a man ready to jump from the roof.
The building was crowded with spectators.
There were constant cries of persuasion.
"Brother upstairs, don't give up! Think about your beautiful wife!"
"My wife left me,"
"Think about your brothers!" People continued to try persuading him.
"She ran away with my brother," the man cried.
"Think about your kids!"
"The kids are theirs..." the bald man cried even harder.
"Brother, just jump. Life's too damn miserable,"
The people below could no longer try to persuade him...
It was truly a human tragedy.
Just as he was about to jump...
Suddenly, a chain wrapped around him from behind and yanked him back.
"Wang Dali, destined to live for eighty years.
Your life is not meant to end prematurely. If you jump today,
You'll be condemned to lie in bed for the rest of your life, until the very end."
An icy voice echoed suddenly in his ear.
Wang Dali looked around, but there was no shadow in sight.
Only the sound of the chain clinking.
"Your ancestors from eighteen generations had a favor with me. I happen to save your life today. From now on, we're even.
You'll have great fortune in the future, so live well.”
The voice drifted away.
A frightened Wang Dali wondered, who was this person?
That said, he no longer dared to seek death...
Since this person said he was going to have a great fortune...
"Will I, old Wang, have my day of reckoning?"
