Supermen Everywhere?

A rapid series of Prompt Sounds rang out in his mind. At the same time, a warm current enveloped Luo Jun, filling his entire body with an indescribable comfort that swept away all his pain and injuries!

What was this? Did leveling up automatically restore him to full health? There were skills too? And he could add points?

This was fucking a game, right?

Even as he grumbled inwardly, spinning dice appeared before his eyes. This time, though, there was only white.

Was this for adding Attribute Points? White—didn't that mean he could add at most ten points at a time?

There was no time to think about the details. Luo Jun rolled the dice four times in a row, getting 9 points, 7 points, 6 points, and 9 points.

Not bad luck—none of them had been below five!

With every roll, Luo Jun felt a powerful force surge into his limbs and bones. The system seemed not to have asked for his opinion before automatically assigning his Attribute Points!

Once that series of changes had passed, Luo Jun lay in the Pile of Clothes, still stained with blood but no longer showing any trace of pain from his injuries. Instead, he was brimming with energy, his eyes shining!

Before him floated his current system panel:

Name: Luo Jun Level: 4 (431/500) Attributes: Strength: 15 points Agility: 12 points Perception: 11 points Spirit: 13 points Luck Level: 6 Skill: All Things are Dice Items: None Uses: 5/5

The two events had settled at once, giving him over a thousand experience points combined and raising Luo Jun straight to Level 4. Not only had it healed his wounds and refilled his dice uses, it had also strengthened all his attributes dramatically across the board!

More importantly, it had given him a skill:

All Things are Dice:

Effect One: The Dice of Heavenly Secrets could be activated at any time to judge any event related to him.

Effect Two: Luck Level increased by one.

Effect One meant that he could actively activate the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in the future instead of waiting for the Prompt Sound to pop up on its own. As for Effect Two, it was already reflected on the panel. His Luck Level had risen from Level 5 to Level 6.

According to the description, this Luck Level had nothing to do with his luck in reality. The only thing it could affect was the rolls of the Dice of Heavenly Secrets. The higher the level, the easier it was to roll high numbers.

"No wonder all four Attribute Point rolls were so high. My Luck Level must have played a part in it. It can add attributes, it has skills, and there are even unactivated items... The Dice of Heavenly Secrets has quite a lot of functions!"

Luo Jun shook his head and raised a hand to pull away the clothes draped over him. But with a little force, a shirt pinned beneath him tore with a rip, its sleeve ripped clean off.

"I... didn't use that much force, did I?" Luo Jun stared at the torn sleeve in his hand, dumbfounded.

It was not just his strength. As he carefully sensed himself, he found that his eyes saw more clearly, his ears heard more sharply, and his mind was clearer too. His whole being felt as though it had been reborn.

The corner of Luo Jun's mouth kept lifting. If he were the way he was now, he definitely could have dodged that kick just now!

No, this wasn't the time to feel proud!

The Human Trafficker was still upstairs. He had probably gotten through to the police just now—he had to report the location quickly!

Looking around, he found his phone lying on the ground not far away, already smashed to pieces...

"My phone!" Just as Luo Jun's heart ached over it, a thunderous BANG suddenly came from above his head!

"What's Going On?"

Luo Jun looked up and suddenly saw a black shadow fly down from the Fifth Floor!

"Fuck, was that Human Trafficker addicted to kicking people?"

He had barely finished grumbling when his enhanced sharp senses revealed that the falling figure was tall, dressed in a windbreaker, and holding a child in his arms... Wasn't that the Human Trafficker?

Had he jumped off the building because he couldn't take it anymore?

Under Luo Jun's astonished gaze, the Human Trafficker plummeted all the way down before landing on one knee with a crash, smashing onto the ground.

He had not cushioned his fall at all. He had crashed down just like that, kneeling so hard that even the solid floor tiles cracked, frightening the surrounding Pedestrians into retreating again and again.

Yet the Windbreaker Man seemed completely unharmed. He rose to his feet and ran toward the entrance with the child in his arms!

Was this... still a human?

Luo Jun was completely stunned. Thinking back, when he had struggled with the Windbreaker Man, they had still been three or four meters from the glass railing. One kick had sent his hundred-plus kilos flying that far and even over a railing more than a meter high. That was no longer human strength, was it...?

The Human Trafficker seemed not to have noticed Luo Jun still lying in the Pile of Clothes and flashed straight past him. Just as Luo Jun was thinking of a way to stop him, another figure fell from the air, landing directly in front of the Windbreaker Man.

This guy was even taller than the Windbreaker Man, with an exceptionally muscular build and a full beard. He wore a gaudy pink tank top stretched so tight by his bulging muscles that it looked ready to split, along with bright red-and-green patterned shorts and a pair of purple driving shoes. He was conspicuous beyond belief.

Another one... And judging by the way he dressed, he looked like a pervert...

"Polluter, put the child down!" the newly arrived muscular pervert shouted righteously, pointing at the Windbreaker Man.

So he was performing an Act of Bravery? Right, he couldn't decide someone was a bad person just because they dressed like a pervert.

"Yuan Cultivation Society lapdog..." The Windbreaker Man gritted his teeth. He seemed quite wary of the perverted Muscular Man and retreated several steps.

At this moment, two more people jumped down from above. But Luo Jun noticed that one had jumped from the second floor, while the other had jumped from the Third Floor.

The one from the second floor was a medium-built, nimble Young man in athletic clothes with a headband tied around his head. The one from the Third Floor was a short-haired woman wearing sunglasses. Unlike the Others, who had fallen in freefall, she drifted gently down and landed without a sound.

The moment they landed, the two took positions to either side, vaguely blocking the Windbreaker Man's route of retreat.

The way each of them had appeared left Luo Jun dumbfounded. Since when had Ningdong City produced so many Supermen? He'd only just gotten the system and planned to soar to the sky with it, climbing to the peak of life. It hadn't even been one night, and now he was being told there were already so many extraordinary people in the world?

But when he saw the surrounding passersby holding up their phones and filming nonstop, their faces full of astonishment, Luo Jun felt somewhat reassured.

Hmph, a bunch of bumpkins who had never seen the world!

Before Luo Jun could finish looking down on them, the Sunglasses Woman pulled out a piece of Talisman Paper from her bosom and shook it into the wind. The paper immediately ignited, and an invisible ripple spread outward in all directions.

Luo Jun immediately felt his mind grow dizzy. He had to shake his head before he regained clarity.

What was that? Even with his Spirit enhanced, Luo Jun had felt dizzy. He turned his head toward the surrounding Ordinary People and found their eyes had become vacant. They lowered their heads and deleted the videos and photos they had just taken from their phones, then turned and moved away from the area.
