Crisis Incoming (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

All of a sudden, within a radius of about twenty-five meters, the rosy sunlight warped slightly.

Su Yao hurriedly stopped, lest the Light Energy in his body be drained dry.

As he absorbed the faint sunlight to replenish his depleted Light Energy, Su Yao thought, It only increased by about five meters?

Shaking his head, he felt somewhat disappointed.

This improvement was only so-so. It had fallen far short of his expectations.

He had originally thought that reaching forty or fifty meters would be about right. Looks like he had been dreaming! In the end, the quality of the Light Energy in his body had only improved slightly, and the total amount had increased, resulting in just a small expansion of the range.

"Looks like if I want to truly increase the range, I'll need to raise Sunshine Pervades to level three."

Su Yao shook his head. He could only take it slowly.

Of course, raising other abilities to level three would also provide considerable gains. Better than nothing, and continuing to improve them would still amount to a substantial boost.

"What should I improve next?"

"Sunshine Pervades?"

While he was deep in thought, Venom beside him had already gone blank.

"Is it my imagination? The sunlight just seemed to warp across a large area?" Venom said in surprise.

Su Yao casually replied, "Did it? Maybe it was just your imagination."

"My imagination?" Venom froze.

Had it really been an illusion? Su hadn't seen it? At that moment, he began to wonder whether there was something wrong with his senses.

First, the thing Su had fired had become much bigger, and then he had sensed the sunlight warping...

Venom looked utterly bewildered.

"Cough..." Su Yao gave a dry cough and turned his attention to the ability he would improve next.

"I'll choose Reflection Shield next."

Su Yao had thought it over carefully.

Although Sunshine Pervades badly needed an upgrade, it required too much energy and time. With that time, he could raise several abilities to level three.

Of course, the most important thing was that he currently lacked defensive abilities. He had a pile of offensive abilities but very few defensive ones. He might get ambushed and killed by an enemy if he was careless.

Reflection Shield was decent. At the very least, it worked well against modern bullets.

And it could reflect more than bullets. It could block energy attacks as well, though he had never had the chance to test it.

If he raised this ability to level three, its defensive range would definitely increase dramatically. Then, he would not need to cast two Reflection Shields at once during a fight.

Glancing at the sky and sensing the Light Energy recovering within his body, Su Yao did not continue practicing and turned to leave.

The sun set and the moon rose; the moon set and the sun rose.

Light Energy +1

Light Energy +1

Nothing unexpected happened, and Su Yao spent the night peacefully.

Early the next morning, he continued practicing his abilities.

Reflection Shield Experience +1

Reflection Shield Experience +1

By evening...

Ability: Reflection Shield (241/500) Level 2

Time passed quickly, and soon another day had gone by.

After consuming some of the energy in his body, he successfully raised Reflection Shield to level three before the sun set! A prompt sounded.

Ability: Reflection Shield (0/1000) Level 3

Sensing the changes in his body, Su Yao smiled faintly.

Reflection Shield Experience +1

As he cast Reflection Shield, he could not help letting out a breath of relief. As expected, Reflection Shield's range had increased considerably! The moment he cast it, the Reflection Shield blocked everything in front of him! As long as he was careful of his flanks and cast Reflection Shield in time, he basically would not need to worry about defense anymore! Of course, that was assuming his energy had not run out. If it did, even he could be finished.

At that moment, his confidence increased significantly.

At the same time, since Reflection Shield was relatively inconspicuous when cast, Venom did not notice anything this time. He merely watched Su Yao practice his ability in confusion, unable to understand the point of it.

During this time, Venom kept urging him to go cause some havoc, saying that he had not eaten anyone in a long time.

Su Yao was speechless. Ignoring Venom's request, he turned his attention directly to Sunshine Pervades.

Logically, he should have upgraded his other abilities first, but he simply could not hold himself back.

Compared to improving Sunshine Pervades, improvements to his other abilities truly were not worth mentioning.

In any case, he had Black Particle for offense and Reflection Shield for defense. For now, that was basically enough! Filled with anticipation, he waited for dawn the next day.

Night fell, and hour after hour passed...

With Venom's sharp senses assisting him, no one disturbed him, and he safely made it through another night.

The sky had only just begun to brighten.

Staring at the gloomy sky overhead, covered in dark clouds, Su Yao frowned slightly.

Light Energy +1

Although he could still absorb sunlight, the speed had suddenly dropped drastically.

"Damn it..."

Su Yao sighed.

Still, it made sense. It had been sunny for several days already, so a little rain was perfectly normal.

Light Energy +1

"If only I could fly above the Cloud Layer."

Su Yao shook his head, unable to stop the desire to fly from rising within him.

He wondered whether the ability unlocked at 85% Unlock Progress would be Levitation Flight? At that moment, he looked forward to it even more.

Once he finished improving Sunshine Pervades, he would raise Unlock Progress! While absorbing sunlight, Su Yao made do with practicing Sunshine Pervades.

Sunshine Pervades Experience +1

A soft, pale golden glow appeared around his body, stunning the idle Venom.

"What is this now?!"

At that moment, Venom was filled with confusion.

He realized that he truly did not understand this host called Su well enough.

How long had it been? Yet another inexplicable ability had appeared on him? "Glowing?"

What use was this ability? Circling the young man before him, Venom fought the urge to mock him and asked, "Su, are you planning to become a light bulb?"

Suddenly, Venom thought of something.

"Oh, the way your whole body is glowing does make you look somewhat like the Lord those humans talk about. God."

Su Yao shook his head and focused on practicing Sunshine Pervades.

Sunshine Pervades Experience +1...

While Su Yao was practicing Sunshine Pervades early in the morning, Experiment Base Number 23 was making moves as well.

Three Prison Guards dressed in black slowly walked to the outside of a detention cell.

This detention cell was unusual. The area around it was completely empty, with no other prisoners nearby. Even the iron bars were much thicker, as if they had been specially reinforced.

They stopped outside the bars, quickly opened the cell door, and walked toward the figure inside, who was bound by several chains.

"Number Five, wake up."

Noticing the visitors, Number Five raised his head.

His face was very pale, and he was tall and thin. Dressed in white, he looked at people with an exceptionally calm gaze.

"Come with us."

After removing the chains on him, the three men led him toward the last detention cell.
