He gently touched the gun and slowly took it in his hand.

Cold, hard, and with a murderous aura.

This gun should have been an inanimate object, a lifeless product made of steel, but Xiao Xiao didn't know why, but when he gripped the gun, he could feel the resistance, rage, and restless emotions emanating from it.

Recalling Ruan Ruan had just told him about the origin of the gun, Xiao Xiao immediately understood the source of this violent emotion. It was indeed not an obedient gun, because it contained a strong, intense desire to shoot. This caused anyone who received it to be affected by this emotion, and to urgently want to shoot and kill something they hated.

It's as if if we don't fire now, we'll never have another chance.

"He should be able to control it, right?"

Beside Xiao Xiao, Ruan Ruan watched him nervously.

Leaving this gun behind and giving it to Xiao Xiao was Ruan Ruan decision made by Ruan Ruan...

"After all, our Ms. Ruan Ruan is a strategist, a professional and gentle reinforcement designer."

She thought to herself, "Perverts are all people who have suppressed their inner desires for too long, which has distorted their inner emotions and desires. Xiao-gege's symptoms seem to be getting a bit serious, so giving him this gun that he craves to vent is the perfect match."

"One key point is suppression, and the other key point is venting."

"This gun is a perfect match for him; it balances both aspects perfectly..."

"..."

She didn't even know if Xiao Xiao would suddenly have the urge to shoot something random after picking up the gun.

Although the scene might be a bit chaotic for the time being, it will definitely be beneficial to Xiao Xiao's mental health...

But the result...

"Luo Feng, the leader of the Silver Bullet Family, later became so insane that he almost wiped out Black Gate City in a bloodbath..."

"Is it also because of the influence of this gun?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao did not fire the gun, as if silently sensing the impact and influence emanating from it.

Let the intense urge to shoot flood your emotions, and gradually you'll understand that the old man's constant desire to shoot, and the despair of being prepared for death but powerless to take revenge, were all left on this gun, making it into its current eerie form. As long as you hold it, you must constantly bear the old man's dying desire to shoot.

However, the ability to truly perceive and idealize, but Mind Burst, helped me resolve this impulse.

Xiao Xiao was simply feeling it deeply and being moved.

Then he slowly raised the gun, gently kissed the barrel, and whispered:

"Don't worry, there will be a time to fire eventually..."

"..."

He spoke very seriously because he could clearly feel the gun's life, its impulse.

Like a mischievous child, it was also regarded as a form of communication.

If you don't coax it to come, are you going to beat it up?

"Holy crap..."

But Ruan Ruan, who was standing next to him, was genuinely startled. "Why is your perverted aura even stronger now?"

"Have I made things worse?"

"..."

When Xiao Xiao gently kissed the gun, it seemed to be startled. In its emotionally intense but simple-minded spiritual world, it couldn't understand why Xiao Xiao's influence on it was like a stone sinking into the sea. After all, the people it usually encountered were easy to control, almost like dealing with children, but now, it felt like facing a mountain of oppression.

"There, even the devil would yield..."

"The so-called secret is madness, there's nothing new about it."

"But when we kill them all, our fate is in our own hands."

"Who wants to clean up someone else's mess..."

"..."

At the same time, the music atmosphere in the bar suddenly exploded, and an invisible pressure surged in like a tide.

The gun visibly trembled, as if it had sensed something terrifying, and its surging emotions subsided.

It seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, quietly waiting for its opportunity.

"Good boy/girl..."

Xiao Xiao sensed the gun's emotions subside, as if it had been convinced by itself.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He lifted his shirt and tucked the gun into his belt, but after thinking for a moment, he moved it to his lower back.

You can't let it point at your crotch...

"I'm extremely satisfied with this weapon..."

Xiao Xiao smiled at Ruan Ruan and said, "You can discuss the rest after you've appraised them. Also, when will we hear from Mister Ye?"

"Not at the moment..."

Ruan Ruan shook her head blankly and said, "Such a big thing happened in Black Gate City, we all need to sit down and talk about it."

"But there's no need to rush. Let's wait until they've finished their funeral arrangements."

"..."

"... That makes sense."

Xiao Xiao paused for a moment before saying, "Then I'll do something else. Yang Jia just arranged the second lesson of my special training, which is to go to this city and find seven Enhancement Element. I'm not very professional about this, so I thought I'd ask you for advice."

He was very enthusiastic about the training program.

Now that he has the opportunity to inherit the Old Chairman Lord Pact, he is not opposed to it.

After all, the insightful nature of the observer amplified his curiosity, and he also wanted to understand some of the deeper secrets of the city's shimmering light.

However, before inheriting the contract, he also wanted to truly gain Yang Jia's approval. Although, given the situation in Black Gate City, whether Yang Jia approved or not would no longer affect his inheritance of the Lord Pact, Xiao Xiao also noticed the differences between Mister Ye and Yang Jia. These differences could be vaguely resolved within himself, provided that he completed the special training.

In other words, at this point, he didn't necessarily need Yang Jia's approval, but he still had to do it.

It's simply because I genuinely agree with Yang Jia's simple idea.

"There are special training programs like this?"

Ruan Ruan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Enhancement Element? The City Will has given us plenty on that list..."

"Don't even mention seven, even seventy, as long as you have enough points, you can buy them."

"..."

"They are different."

Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "She told me to find it myself."

"I don't really know..."

Ruan Ruan said, "Jiajia-jie and the others are different from us. We're thinking about survival, but they've already started their research..."

"But finding these is easy, just turn on the monitor."

"..."

Hearing her mention the monitor, Xiao Xiao felt slightly embarrassed. "I rarely turn this thing on..."

Ruan Ruan asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xiao Xiao honestly replied, "Because I'm worried that the detection will show that I'm surrounded by these kinds of things..."

"Ha ha..."

Ruan Ruan scoffed, "How is that possible?"

"If you find yourself surrounded by this stuff, I'll eat this bottle..."

"..."

Under her teasing gaze, Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment, then silently took out the testing equipment that hadn't been used in a long time.

Then...

... Beep beep beep beep!

Suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded and the pointer swung wildly.

"Holy crap..."

Ruan Ruan's whole face was blank, her eyes wide as she stared at the constantly flashing monitoring device.

Meeting Xiao Xiao's helpless gaze, she silently picked up the bottle on the table, took a bite, and chewed it to pieces.

Then he turned to Xiao Xiao and asked, "What kind of monsters and demons are in your bar?"

"I told you this thing was broken..."

Xiao Xiao looked around helplessly, but he Mingming didn't see any Aberrant Creature...

"Uncertain..."

Ruan Ruan put down the half-eaten bottle, picked up Xiao Xiao's testing equipment, and muttered under her breath:

"Maybe you're just unlucky..."

"..."

In this area, she was clearly much more professional than Xiao Xiao. She glanced at the pointer a few times, then patted it twice, her face becoming more serious. She said to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao-gege, you're really lucky... There aren't any real Aberrant Creature here, nor are there any real Enhancement Element. Simply put... there's a forest here, but no fruit."

"Um?"

Xiao Xiao was very curious about her statement and looked at her with surprise.

"I really don't know how you managed to gather such a large group of people here. No wonder it's so comfortable to stay in this bar..."

Ruan Ruan looked at a man not far away, and Xiao Xiao, being the observer, immediately noticed who she was looking at. A dark red vertical eye floating in mid-air immediately observed the man clearly: he was a man standing alone by the bar, with a stubble beard, bloodshot eyes, drinking one glass of wine after another, and a sinister look in his eyes.

He gives the impression of being a powder keg, ready to explode if provoked.

Even if you don't provoke him, after he's brewing for a while, he'll deliberately provoke others and find a way to explode.

"Violence Factor".

Ruan Ruan said, "This man has strong Violence Factor. He will often lose control of his violent behavior. We usually obtain our own Violence Factor from people like him. However, he has not yet reached the standard of mutation. If his Violence Factor were stronger, he could be eliminated directly."

"At that time, we will obtain a Violence Factor, worth twenty points."

"..."

Xiao Xiao was slightly surprised, then thought of something else, "What about the Violence Factor in the second stage, or even the third stage?"

"That's an even more powerful Aberrant Creature..."

She said Ruan Ruan, "Perhaps he's a tyrant who enjoys killing, or perhaps a neurotic serial killer..."

"However, what we usually use for enhancement is just the superposition of low-level Violence Factor. It is rare to see a guy who already has such terrifying energy. If you happen to encounter one, killing him will complete the overall enhancement."

"..."

"The Enhancement Element that the city provides us are indeed all related to the people and things in the city."

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. "What about the others?"
