Underlings
"As expected... Words of Arrogance are extremely effective at damaging people..."
Seeing that the experiment was a success, Sulu, in a good mood, squatted down and looked at the two robbers who were rolling around.
The reason why his Words of Arrogance didn't harm Isaac and the others last time was because he deliberately controlled them.
This time, its terror was displayed even more vividly on humanity.
"Hmm... if this continues, it's possible that the blood vessels of these two ordinary people will burst, their heads will explode, tentacles will grow from their brains and they'll run away... or even their corpses will mutate into monsters..."
After thinking for a moment, he stopped chanting the incantation.
"Huff huff..."
"Huff huff..."
The two burly men stopped struggling, but had lost all their strength and lay on the ground, panting heavily.
"Mysterious... you are the mysterious person!"
The smaller one suddenly looked up, his face showing extreme fear.
"Oh... it's good that you've heard of it. That makes things easier."
The reason Sulu doesn't use his fists but instead uses mysterious powers to solve problems is to maintain his deterrent effect.
For gangsters, the mysterious and unknown forces are even more frightening.
"First of all... as repayment for your previous malice, I need the money pouches you carry!"
Sulu showed no courtesy to the robbers and gave them direct orders.
The two burly men, trembling with fear, handed over their money pouches.
Sulu counted the money, a look of dissatisfaction appearing on his face. "Only seven Silver Dollar and a Toner? What a pauper!"
He should have realized sooner; how much money could someone so desperate for a living possibly have left over from committing a crime?
Seeing the two burly men struggling to their feet, wanting to run but afraid to, Sulu continued to ask, "Names?"
"My name is Duran, and this is Wood. We belong to the ' Shark Gang '!"
Duran named a gang, seemingly hoping to make the mysterious man in front of him think twice.
"Hehe..."
Sulu smiled without saying a word: "You have offended me, but I forgive you..."
Upon hearing his words, the two burly men opposite him visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your mercy!"
"But..." He looked at Duran's slightly changed expression with a mocking gaze, "I need you to do a few things for me... Of course, I will pay you for it. I can give you Gold Dragon, or potions that can restore your health and make you stronger, or items that grant you extraordinary abilities... or even... a method to become a superhuman!"
That was his real purpose.
He'll definitely need the help of local bullies to rent a place and find a job in Lori City.
These two guys seem to be locals; they're quite good at gathering information.
"Please give your orders, sir!"
Duran's eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly. Wood was a beat slower, followed suit, both feeling a little flutter in their hearts.
That's extraordinary power!
While becoming a superhuman is certainly difficult, obtaining some miraculous potions would be enough to sell for countless Gold Dragon.
Little did they know, Sulu was completely out of potions, and even Angie's two Blood Bottle had been lost during his Spirit World Travel; the promise was nothing but empty words.
"Very well, my name is Sean. First, I need you to get me some identification... and... find me a suitable apartment! Finally... I need to know who in the Lori City is suffering from strange occurrences, urgently needs a solution, and is willing to pay any price..."
As the wave of Tide of Transcendence continues to surge, various mysterious events are bound to increase. The official extraordinary individuals within the city will be unable to manage them all, thus creating space for unaffiliated extraordinary individuals.
Sulu wanted to use this method to acquire wealth and gain access to the local circle of extraordinary individuals.
"No problem, we will find out this information as soon as possible."
Duran nodded repeatedly; this was all within the scope of intelligence gathering and not too difficult.
"Very well... just to be on the safe side!"
Sulu smiled, stepped forward, and ran his fingers across the necks of the two men.
Sizzle!
Enveloped in white smoke, a circular mark appeared on the back of their necks.
"This is our little secret, and I don't want you to tell anyone... It's a gift from me to you. Through it, I can find you and help you... or, let you enjoy this crazy rambling every day!"
Sulu explained with a smile, but in Duran and Wood's eyes, his current appearance was no different from that of Demon.
'Actually... these two minor characters aren't worth my attention or labeling... they're just two ugly tattoos... but they have a psychological deterrent effect!'
Looking at the two who seemed even more docile, Sulu calmly asked, "Are there any good coffee shops around here?"
"Next door at 23 Lanno Street, there's a café called ' Green Cat Eye,' run by two sisters, and it's very popular!"
After a moment of silence, Duran answered in a slightly trembling voice.
"Very well, I'll wait for you there... At the latest, I want to see my apartment, otherwise..."
Sulu walked out of the dead-end alley, leaving the two robbers staring at each other in bewilderment.
"What to do?"
Wood touched the brand on the back of his neck, almost bursting into tears.
"What else can we do? Just do it... But that's the Mystic! If we can't satisfy him..." Duran shuddered, his heart filled with disappointment.
Perhaps they should have consulted a fortune teller before going out today.
This is so incredibly unlucky!
However, the thought of the promised reward offered some consolation.
Green Cat Eye Cafe.
Sulu lay back on the sofa, listening to soothing music and occasionally sipping his coffee.
This is a relatively upscale coffee shop that specializes in cats. You can see energetic and leisurely cats at the counter, around the aisles, and next to the flower stands.
Their fur is smooth and clearly well-maintained, resembling the finest silk brocade, making one want to touch it.
Sulu rubbed his temples, carrying out his routine tidying up.
Gaining the ' Lore of the Mad God ' not only adds a passive skill, but also significantly enhances one's knowledge of Ancient Hebraic and Gulam Language, as well as Occult Lore.
Especially Occult Lore!
Reaching LV5 in one go involves a lot of knowledge points and memorization that requires adaptation and digestion.
This includes not only fragmented historical records, but also various extraordinary biological characteristics, the appearance of the Spirit World, and much more incomplete information.
"Potions... Curio... it's a pity that Sivinardo's knowledge is too fragmented..."
Sulu sighed. What he was doing now was to dig out even more dazzling 'gold and gems' from the treasure ore that the other party had given him!
"Hmm... With my current understanding, improving agility and physique doesn't require potions alone; it can be achieved through certain rituals... Of course, it can't be by praying to hidden beings, as that would most likely point to Evil God, Demon, or beings that would bring terrible consequences."
