"Bang..."
The sound of someone hitting the ground rang out.
Jiang Qiao stood in the plaza and watched a middle-aged office worker jump from a building.
This time, however, the vehicle there to catch him wasn't a convertible. It was a pickup truck riddled with bullet holes, as if it had just been imported from Africa.
"The vehicle's different."
Jiang Qiao didn't follow. He couldn't deal with the supernatural yet, and if he got targeted, he would only be serving himself up as food.
He merely wanted to collect some information and accumulate it bit by bit.
So far, it seemed that different people were picked up by different vehicles. He had seen a child's toy car, a convertible, a pickup truck, and even a dump truck!
His feelings were hard to describe when he saw that massive thing.
Shen Yingning didn't ask any questions. She faithfully carried out her duties as the driver.
"These things won't harm you for now, but when you see them, you'd better pretend you didn't." Jiang Qiao turned to Shen Yingning.
There was a saying among ordinary people: If you see something strange often enough, it will lose its power to frighten you.
Pretending not to see them could save them a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Mm-hmm, I'll remember that."
Shen Yingning nodded repeatedly.
Since Jiang Qiao said they posed no immediate danger, she relaxed.
"All right, didn't you rent a place for me? Take me there. I'll stay in North City District tonight."
Jiang Qiao planned to start tonight's simulation in North City District again. If he still couldn't obtain any useful information, he would have no choice but to suspend the investigation for the time being.
After all, he didn't dare touch this thing too much in reality.
That night, Jiang Qiao had hotpot with Shen Yingning again before returning to his newly rented place.
It was a large, open-plan apartment of over two hundred square meters with an excellent view.
He was lying on the bed when a notification tone suddenly sounded.
"Master, thank you for today."
Along with the message came a transfer of fifty thousand yuan.
Jiang Qiao was stunned.
He had spent the whole afternoon showing her around without solving anything, and he was getting fifty thousand yuan just like that?
Was she really that generous?
Before transmigrating, Jiang Qiao hadn't been short of money either. He had even been the top donor for a small streamer.
Unfortunately, that streamer had been his college roommate, so there were certain privileges he could never receive.
Not that he would have wanted them!
But having money was one thing. He couldn't bring himself to casually give tens of thousands to a stranger he had known for only a few hours.
If he were going by his own personality, he would consider one or two thousand yuan more than enough.
This girl was worth keeping around. When she had money, she really gave it away!
He, Jiang Qiao, had decided to make this friend. Even Jesus couldn't stop him!
He tapped accept, then sent her a thank-you message.
Jiang Qiao tossed his phone aside and began sensing the new talents within his body.
There was nothing much to sense about "Share with Those Who See." It was a passive talent managed entirely automatically.
But "Stalker" was rather interesting.
Jiang Qiao willed it, activating the Stalker talent.
In an instant, he felt his entire body fade, as if he had turned into a cloud of mist.
Even his reflection vanished from the mirror beside him.
"Isn't this just invisibility?"
Jiang Qiao moved his body a little, but his speed was too high. His completely transparent body became semi-transparent.
"I see. Although Stalker can make me invisible, my movement speed is limited. If I go too fast, I'll exit the state."
Jiang Qiao suddenly understood.
After testing it, he found that he could maintain up to sixty percent of his movement speed. Any faster, and he would gradually emerge from his transparent state.
That was quite fitting for the word "Stealth."
After finishing his study of the talent, it was nearly eight-thirty.
Jiang Qiao planned to continue going out as a ghost hunter after the simulation ended, and start a livestream while he was at it.
The guys in the livestream chat were entertaining to talk to. With them keeping him company, even the lonely night was filled with fun.
[Simulator cooldown complete--] [Start Weird Simulation?] "Start!" [Currently available talents for fusion: Zhui Feng, Bloodthirsty, Audacious, Demonization...] [Zhui Feng (A): You're incredibly fast. Even the Car God of Mount Akina can't touch you.] [Bloodthirsty (S): You're vicious and bloodthirsty. Neither Vicious Ghosts nor humans can escape your butcher's knife. Every target you kill will greatly increase your strength.] [Audacious (A): You're unbelievably bold and reckless. There's nothing you don't dare to do.] [Demonization (SSR): When a human body can no longer resist the supernatural, why not take the initiative and become demonic? Wouldn't that be exhilarating?] "Demonization?" Jiang Qiao looked at the description. This talent wasn't a Personality Talent. It was an ability that could be actively used. It could be used to devour supernatural entities and absorb them completely. But he would also be affected, gradually assimilated, and unable to reverse the process. It was a typical path-based talent. "Let's give it a try?" This was his last attempt of the day, and Jiang Qiao didn't have many choices. To maximize the effects of the test, Jiang Qiao also equipped the Personality Talent "Cold-blooded and Selfish." [Talent selection complete--] [Fixed Talents: "Lightning Thunder Fist" (S), "Invincible Body" (A), "Dual Pupils" (SSR), "Mad Scientist" (SSR), "Fate Dice" (SSR), "Supernatural Chef" (S), "Stalker" (S), "Share with Those Who See" (SSR)] [Current Talents: "Demonization" (SSR), "Cold-blooded and Selfish" (A)...etc.] [Currently available talents: ...etc.] [Weird Simulation beginning--] [Day One. A greenish haze shrouded the city, cutting off the water, electricity, and gas supplies.] [You left your rented room and went into the streets. You viciously slaughtered survivors, forcing them to run toward Vicious Ghosts.] [Vicious Ghosts grew stronger, while you gained cultivation through sharing before killing them as well.] "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" [You passed through the streets one after another, and your cultivation continued to rise.] [Unsatisfied, you shook the Fate Dice. Result: 6!] [That day, your "Lightning Thunder Fist" rose to Third Tier!] [Invincible Body rose to Third Tier!] [All other talents rose to Second Tier!] [Day Two. You realized that you were lost. There were no Vicious Ghosts or living people in the haze.] [You walked down the road without a care.] [As you walked, a car horn sounded behind you. A middle-aged man's voice came from the vehicle, asking if you wanted a ride.] [You gave an affirmative answer.] [The next moment, you entered the taxi.] [You couldn't see the driver, and the doors were completely sealed.] [You thought this taxi was terrifying, and an ideal item for increasing your strength.] [Thus, you actively used "Demonization."] [BOOM!] [A terrifying red light flashed. You discovered that you had become the taxi driver, while all kinds of people appeared on the streets within your field of vision.] [They were men and women, old and young, each wearing a strange smile.] [They were all supernatural entities!] [A crazed look appeared in your eyes. You drove the car and reenacted GTA5!] [After falling down, they immediately climbed back up, still wearing those strange smiles. They weren't injured, nor did they attack you.] [But in the next moment, you opened the car window and fused them all into your body.] [You believed that supernatural entities were more terrifying than Vicious Ghosts and could grant you true power!]
