"Thank you, Mr. King! You have saved everyone once again!"
Chapter 54 Extra points!
The Hero Association staff took the lead, completely ignoring Fubuki, the number one B-rank hero, and her team, and rushed straight to KING to report the situation.
Surrounded by the crowd in the center, King felt utterly overwhelmed.
He's terrible at handling these kinds of situations.
"Ah, yes, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
He could only use these vague words to get by, while constantly praying that the train could finish the handover quickly and head to his destination—City A.
Fubuki stood on the periphery of the crowd, quietly watching this scene, her heart filled with overwhelming shock.
The Hero Association's attitude towards KING once again confirms just how extraordinary his status is.
"Are all strong people so aloof?"
She looked at the man surrounded by the crowd, whose face showed no joy but rather a faint sense of aloofness and impatience, and thought to herself.
She clenched her fists instinctively, and the image of her sister, who was forever flying in the sky and looking down at her, appeared in her mind.
I must become stronger!
Strong enough to stand at the same level as them and see the same scenery they see!
Fubuki raised her head, looked at the night sky of Y City, and a flame ignited in her eyes.
------
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mo finally escaped from that nightmarish ritual.
The train was suspended due to an emergency; the announcement stated that the suspension was to investigate potential dangers.
He had to pinch his nose and accept his bad luck, while explaining the situation to the staff of the Hero Association.
After refusing the Hero Association's offer to "send a special car for him," Lin Mo took advantage of the chaos during the staff handover, pulled down the brim of his hoodie, slipped into the subway back to M City, and finally returned to his familiar apartment.
"Phew... I'm finally alive."
Lin Mo threw himself heavily onto the soft bed, the familiar, slightly nerdy air around his nose, and let out a long breath.
He closed his eyes, feeling the peace that belonged only to him, as if the "KING" who was admired by thousands was just a phantom that had nothing to do with him.
After lying motionless on the bed for a full half hour, Lin Mo finally mustered up a bit of strength and sat up.
His eyes narrowed, and all his weariness was replaced by a strong sense of anticipation.
"System, open the personal panel."
With a thought, a semi-transparent panel, emitting a pale blue halo, which only he could see, silently floated in front of him.
Name: Lin Mo (KING)
【Sex: Male】
【Energy Value: 24,036】
[Stamina: 50]
【Strength: 50】
【Speed: 50】
[Mind Power: 70]
[Skills: Intimidation (Dragon-level), Sonic Movement (Demon-level), Energy Blast (Demon-level), Basic Combat Techniques]
[Items: Basic Stamina Recovery Potion x2, Basic Healing Potion x2, Basic Mental Recovery Potion...]
Looking at the number in the energy value column, Lin Mo breathed a long sigh of relief.
He obtained a huge amount of energy points after resolving the meteorite crisis.
Although this train incident was small in scale, he easily arrested the criminals and saved the lives of everyone on the train, which also brought him a considerable income.
His gaze swept across the skill bar and finally settled on "Energy Blast (Demon-level)".
This is currently his only effective attack method.
In this world teeming with eccentrics, he can't rely on luck and the "Emperor Engine" to intimidate his enemies forever; "intimidation" is not a long-term solution.
"Let's upgrade the energy bomb to 'Dragon' level first, and use the rest to upgrade skill points." Lin Mo silently made a decision in his heart.
With the "Dragon" level energy bomb, he finally had a trump card to contend with top-level disasters and the ability to protect himself in this dangerous world.
The remaining energy points can then be used to compensate for your basic attributes.
"System, upgrade 'Energy Bullet'."
[Energy Points -10,000, Skill 'Energy Blast (Demon Level)' is upgrading...]
The system notification sounded in his mind, and Lin Mo felt a massive flow of information instantly flood into his brain.
He could sense that his mastery and application of energy were constantly improving.
[Upgrade successful! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Energy Blast (Dragon-level)!]
[Skill Description: This skill allows the user to gather a high-density energy beam in their hand, possessing immense power sufficient to pose a significant threat to Dragon-level threats. The skill enters a cooldown period of 0.1 seconds after launch.]
[Special Effect: Energy bullets can be recharged using energy points. Recharged energy bullets will have significantly increased power and may also inflict 'penetration' or 'explosion' effects.]
Upgrade Requirements: 100,000 Energy Points
Lin Mo slowly opened his palm, and with a thought, a golden ball of light quietly floated in his palm.
It has a soft glow, without any sense of oppression.
But Lin Mo could clearly sense that within this small sphere of light lay terrifying energy powerful enough to wipe the entire apartment building off the map.
"He's practically a mini-'homeless emperor' now..."
Lin Mo was somewhat amused and exasperated. The image of that Dragon-level executive from the Monster Association, who was also a powerful individual capable of manipulating energy blasts, involuntarily came to mind.
He even imagined himself encountering "The Homeless Emperor" on the battlefield, the two of them exchanging projectiles in a frenzy.
He quickly shook his head, banishing the unrealistic image from his mind, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
"But I won't be like him, just an ordinary person with powerful superpowers..."
Homeless Emperor's weakness is his fragile physical body, but he will make up for this shortcoming sooner or later.
He looked at the remaining 14,000+ energy points on the panel, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"System, raise my stamina, strength, speed, and telekinesis to 90!"
Strength +40 points, Energy consumed: 4000 points.
[Speed +40, Energy Points Consumed: 4000.]
[Constitution +40 points, consuming 4000 energy points.]
[Psychic Power +20 points, consumes 2000 energy points.]
[Total consumption: 14,000 points. Confirm?]
As soon as he finished speaking, an incredibly powerful warm current suddenly erupted from his heart and instantly flowed throughout his entire body!
His muscles were breaking and regenerating at an incredible speed, becoming denser and tougher!
As his mental power increased, his spiritual world also became much clearer.
His thinking became clearer than ever before, and his perception was amplified infinitely. The whole world became incredibly three-dimensional and vivid in his perception.
The whole process lasted about a minute. After the warm current had completely entered his body, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes.
He looked down at his hands, then gently clenched them together.
A dull thud sounded in his palm.
"I just don't know how strong they are now, and there's no standard..."
Lin Mo stood up, stretched his body, and felt an unprecedented sense of excitement and peace of mind.
Chapter 55 The Deep Sea King Attacks
That afternoon, the sky was extremely gloomy.
Lin Mo was carrying a shopping basket in the supermarket, selecting discounted fast food for the coming week, enjoying the long-lost sense of being part of the ordinary crowd.
His senses are now exceptionally sharp, and he can easily distinguish the chatter of the cashier lady complaining about today's vegetable prices from the noisy conversations dozens of meters away.
He lifted the shopping basket, which was full of drinks and snacks and weighed more than 30 kilograms, with one hand, but it felt as light as a feather.
This sense of control over his own power made him feel happy.
However, this tranquility was soon broken.
A deep rumble of thunder rolled across the sky.
Immediately afterwards, large raindrops began to fall from the sky without warning, pounding against the supermarket's glass door and instantly forming a thick curtain of water.
The world seemed to be filtered through a hazy, gray lens.
"Emergency alert! Emergency alert!"
The piercing alarm ripped through the rain and echoed throughout the city.
Customers and employees in the supermarket stopped what they were doing and stared in astonishment at the television screen on the wall.
"Disaster alert issued! A large number of unidentified strange people have appeared in the coastal area of J City. The disaster level is classified as 'ghosts'!"
"The strange creature is moving towards the city center! All citizens are urged to immediately cease all outdoor activities and seek refuge at the nearest official shelter! Repeat, the disaster level is 'Demon'..."
Panic instantly gripped the supermarket.
People dropped what they were holding and screamed as they rushed toward the door, desperate to find a safe haven as quickly as possible.
Lin Mo frowned.
He felt the pervasive sense of fear in the air, and a long-lost feeling of tension resurfaced in his heart.
But soon, this tension was soothed by the powerful force surging within him.
