Chasing Mosquitoes Down

When Hua Qiang saw the data on the Void Panel, he immediately grew excited.

Could this be my cheat ability, finally activated?

As if remembering something, he hurriedly looked around.

The students in the cafeteria all had their heads down, busy stuffing themselves with food. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

He then turned to his best friend Wang Baoyuan and asked, "Bao... bro, do you see anything floating in the air?"

Hua Qiang's heart clenched tightly, afraid of hearing the answer he did not want to hear.

Wang Baoyuan looked left and right, his face full of suspicion.

Then he reached out and felt Hua Qiang's forehead several times.

"Don't tell me you've got a fever? What could possibly be in the air? I don't see a thing!"

"Oh... that's good!"

Hearing Wang Baoyuan's words, Hua Qiang finally let out a long breath.

It seemed that only he could see the things on the Void Panel.

At that thought, his heart began to burn again.

It looked like he, too, had obtained the cheat ability every transmigrator was supposed to have.

He just did not know what these Slaughter Points were for.

He had no time to study it now. After hastily finishing the food on his tray, Hua Qiang made up an excuse and headed alone to a pavilion.

It was afternoon, and no one was here, which made things convenient for Hua Qiang.

With a thought, the Void Panel appeared before his eyes once more.

Name: Hua Qiang

Age: 18

Talent: Slaughter (Hidden, Activated)

Realm: Trash

Blood Qi: 87+

Cultivation Method: None

Combat Skill: None

Martial Weapon: None

Slaughter Points: 1

After the initial excitement of seeing the information on the Void Panel, Hua Qiang fell into deep thought.

So this was his basic information. The numbers on it were truly unbearable to look at!

Especially his realm. The two words "Trash" nearly broke his defenses.

What did that mean?

Was it looking down on him? His foundation was merely a little poor, his body a little weak, and he did not have much fighting strength. There was no need to humiliate him like this!

His talent field displayed Slaughter.

There was even a set of parentheses beside it: Hidden, Activated.

Could it be that he possessed a hidden attribute?

He had played plenty of games before, so he naturally knew that hidden attributes were worth their weight in gold, with extremely powerful combat or support capabilities.

What was that little plus sign after the Blood Qi number?

Hua Qiang stroked his chin and sank into thought.

Could it be used to add Blood Qi?

Then what would it consume to increase it?

Seeing the 1 Slaughter Point at the bottom, his eyes suddenly lit up. Could it consume Slaughter Points to increase Blood Qi?

Then could the other displayed attributes also be raised with Slaughter Points?

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Hua Qiang lightly tapped the plus sign.

A faint warm current flowed through his body. It seemed that his body had become a little stronger, his strength a little greater, and even his big belly... a little smaller.

Wow!

This worked!

If his Blood Qi increased to a certain level, could his 280-pound body return to a normal weight?

His physical fitness could also reach the level of an ordinary person, perhaps even surpass ordinary people.

When he saw that his Slaughter Points had become 0 and his 87 had become 87.1—

Hua Qiang was instantly ecstatic.

These Slaughter Points could increase Blood Qi at a ratio of 1:10.

If he got 130 Slaughter Points, he could immediately raise his Blood Qi to a full 100.

Then he would reach the threshold for the Martial Arts Examination, take the Martial Artists examination, and have a chance to enter a Martial Artists academy to study.

He recalled that he had killed a mosquito earlier, activating his Slaughter talent and granting him one Slaughter Point.

Could he keep killing mosquitoes and continue gaining Slaughter Points?

The moment the thought came to him, Hua Qiang acted on it. He stood up and began searching for mosquitoes in the pavilion.

This was a wooded area with a shady little path. Grass and flowers had been planted along both sides.

It received little sunlight all year round, making it a breeding ground for mosquitoes and insects.

Buzzz...

The buzzing cries of mosquitoes entered Hua Qiang's ears.

Two or three mosquitoes circled around him nonstop, looking for a chance to launch an attack.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Hua Qiang transformed into an expert mosquito killer. He struck repeatedly, slapping several mosquitoes to death.

He then called up the Void Panel and saw the display: Slaughter Points: 5.

This worked!

He had killed five mosquitoes and gained five Slaughter Points, enough to add another 0.5 Blood Qi.

Keep going!

Hua Qiang swept all the way along the wooded path. By the time he had fought his way through the path and out of the woods, he had accumulated 23 Slaughter Points.

He called up the Void Panel and tapped the plus sign in the Blood Qi field.

A warm current flowed through his body, and the number in his Blood Qi field changed to 89.4.

Hua Qiang clenched his fists. He felt that his punches had grown much stronger, while his body had become several degrees tougher than before.

He subconsciously touched his stomach. It seemed to have shrunk a little more.

He jumped in place a few times and found his body much lighter. His spirits were also far better than before.

It even seemed... that his brain was working a little better.

This change made Hua Qiang grin with delight. He looked like a fool who had found his favorite toy, practically drooling.

He collected himself and headed back toward the pavilion.

As he continued looking for mosquitoes along the way, a helpless bitter smile appeared on his face.

He did not encounter another mosquito.

It seemed that earning the title of expert mosquito killer would be difficult.

Had all the mosquitoes smelled the bloody aura on him and fled from far away?

Then an idea flashed through his mind. Killing mosquitoes could earn Slaughter Points, so if he went to Old Man's slaughterhouse and killed those livestock, could he gain Slaughter Points there too?

The moment he thought of it, the blood in his veins began to burn, and his whole body grew eager to move.

Wait. It was still school hours. If he ran off to Dad's slaughterhouse now, Dad would definitely give him a beating.

He would surely be served a bowl of bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat.

Tomorrow was the weekend, so he did not have school. He could go help Dad and see whether he could earn Slaughter Points while he was at it.

He had to become stronger!

Then he would earn lots of money, buy a big house and luxury cars, and buy high-grade nutritional supplements, expensive clothes, cosmetics, and more for his parents and sister.

He had to improve their lives and make them stand above others!

Hua Qiang's hand inadvertently touched his pocket. He pulled out a tube of Blood Qi Powder, and his expression shifted.

This tube of C-grade Blood Qi Powder cost a full fifty thousand yuan. It had been a birthday gift from his best friend Wang Baoyuan.

It would be a lie to say he was not moved.

His family was relatively poor, and he had never taken this kind of medicine that increased Blood Qi.

Now that he had activated his Slaughter talent and could raise his Blood Qi with Slaughter Points, Blood Qi Powder was neither here nor there to him.

Since that was the case, he would take it home for his sister.

Ye Bingxue had vigorous Blood Qi. If she took this Blood Qi Powder, her Blood Qi value could surge by another large margin, bringing her one step closer to crossing the threshold into the ranks of Martial Artists.

On Blue Star, as long as one's Blood Qi reached 150 points, one could advance to become a Martial Artist and apply for the benefits granted to Martial Artists.

Such as cultivation methods, combat skills, money, and so on.

Once Blood Qi reached 300 points, one could advance to become a mid-tier Martial Artist.
