Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Ability Upgrade, Space-Time Anchor Point

Su Xin opened the personal panel.

[Name: Su Xin]

[Superpower: Concealment Prayer LV1.]

[Causality Points: 414.]

With a thought, the value in the Causality Points column became blurred and, after some transformation, it changed from 414 to 314.

The system prompt sounded.

“Concealment Prayer upgraded to LV2!”

“Please choose between the following two traits: 1. Desperate Escape, 2. Space-Time Anchor Point.”

[Desperate Escape: Instant Teleportation Limit Distance is doubled, and you will appear as far away as possible during teleportation]

[Space-Time Anchor Point: You can set an anchor point at any place you have visited within the last day. During teleportation, you can lock onto the anchor point with your mind. If the distance is appropriate, you can specify teleportation to the anchor point. The number of anchor points can equal the Superpower Level.]

(Note: The anchor points can be changed at any time.)

The two traits have no basis for comparison.

The so-called doubled limit distance and appearing as far away as possible during teleportation are useless to Su Xin and have only side effects.

However, the specified teleportation brought by Space-Time Anchor Point, though it doesn’t completely solve the defect of Random Instant Teleportation, at least gives him an option.

Su Xin chose the second option without hesitation.

[Concealment Prayer LV2: When you clasp your hands together, you randomly teleport to a concealed location within a ten-kilometer range.]

[Trait: Space-Time Anchor Point.]

[Upgrade Progress: 0/1000.]

At the moment the trait was chosen.

Su Xin received more information about the trait in his mind, just like when he awakened the [Concealment Prayer] superpower yesterday, he automatically understood the method of using the trait.

The setting of the Space-Time Anchor Point is very simple. With just a thought, he can set any place he has been in a day as an anchor point, rather than having to be physically present to set it.

Cancelling the anchor point is also done in the same way.

“So, the biggest defect of Random Instant Teleportation is solved like this?”

Su Xin’s face showed joy.

Although the number of anchor points can currently be set to only two, due to this setting method, Su Xin can completely set an anchor point with his mind before teleporting, and then teleport.

For example, if Su Xin initially sets the two anchor points as home and school, but for some reason, he can’t go to these two places before teleporting, he can completely cancel one anchor point and set it to another place, then teleport.

In other words, as long as it’s a place he’s been to in a day, he can specify teleportation there.

Unless he encounters an emergency and doesn’t even have the time to set an anchor point, in that case, he can randomly teleport first, and then set the anchor point at the concealed location he arrives at.

The only requirement is that the distance condition must be met, which is within ten kilometers.

If Su Xin teleports several times and ends up more than twenty kilometers away, he naturally cannot directly teleport home via the Space-Time Anchor Point.

But it’s not unsolvable.

As long as he pays attention to the surrounding environment after each teleport, starting from the second-to-last teleportation landing point, and setting the Space-Time Anchor Points one by one, he can reverse teleport along the track back home.

The function of the Space-Time Anchor Point is very powerful.

After upgrading to gain this new trait of [Concealment Prayer], Su Xin felt immensely satisfied.

With the fixed-point teleportation function brought by the Space-Time Anchor Point, he essentially has a safety net. Even if Random Instant Teleportation lands him in mid-air or in the sea, he can return through the anchor point.

From this moment, he no longer worries about any risks that may come with Random Instant Teleportation.

At the same time.

He finally has the opportunity to delve into research.

Su Xin walked around the house, drew all the curtains, turned on the lights, and set anchor points in both the bedroom and the living room.

Then he walked to the bathroom, clasped his hands together.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xin appeared precisely at the anchor point he just set in the bedroom.

After several consecutive teleportation attempts.

Su Xin found two ropes and tied his legs and left hand to the dining room table leg.

Sitting on the ground, he clasped his hands together.

In a flash of the scene, Su Xin appeared by the bed in the bedroom, still maintaining a sitting position.

But the ropes binding his feet and left hand were no longer there.

“In other words, even when bound, teleportation allows me to easily escape, as those ropes are considered external items that don’t need to be taken along during teleportation, while my clothes and shoes aren’t affected.”

“Let’s test what else teleportation can take along.”

Su Xin returned to the living room, picked up a couch cushion, and embraced it, then clasped his hands together again.

The cushion successfully teleported with him.

Afterward, he tied the rope solely around himself and attempted teleportation again, but after several tries, different outcomes resulted. When he considered the rope as part of his decoration, he could teleport with it. When he regarded the rope as an external constraint, it was not taken along during teleportation.

It seems to be a subjective mechanism.

Next, he hoisted one side of the dining table with his shoulder and even struggled to lift the entire table, but during teleportation, he couldn’t take it with him.

Su Xin guessed that he could only take items that could be easily carried and not those large items he barely managed to lift.

Though he didn’t know the principle, given the subjectivity of the mechanism in carrying items, he could only ascribe it to the wonder of the Causality Law Superpower.

After a series of tests, Su Xin had a deeper understanding of [Concealment Prayer].

It is worth mentioning.

Despite being physically weak from illness, he didn’t feel obviously fatigued after so many instances of teleportation, further confirming Su Xin’s theory—this superpower doesn’t consume physical energy.

The minimal physical exertion was probably due to lifting the dining table.

…

After the tests, Su Xin sat down at the computer desk, filled with energy to start typing words.

Typing words can earn money, money can be donated, donations can earn Causality Points, and Causality Points can upgrade his superpower. Calculating it this way, he can upgrade his superpower simply by typing.

How easy it is!

Anyway, it’s copying… borrowing web novel content from the past life, which isn’t difficult.

“I can’t be lazy anymore. Starting today, I want to update twenty thousand words daily and outdo the other authors!”

“I also need to double the effort. This time, I’ll exceptionally borrow from a popular web novel from the past life… I’ll write a Devouring Starry Sky and make a fortune!”

Su Xin’s eyes sparkled.

But just as he opened the typing software, a sudden flash of inspiration hit him, reminding him of a very classic case from his past life.

No money doesn’t mean you can’t help others.

Moreover, this case can help him verify some conjectures about Causality Points.

Thinking of this, Su Xin reopened the forum and continued searching in the help section.

This time, he searched very carefully.

After a full hour, he finally found the most suitable target—a woman named Chi Lixiu.

According to the documents provided, she is a single mother, and the patient is her one-year-old son. Her hometown is in the mountains. Her parents have long passed away, and her husband has a leg condition, doing some carpentry work at home, while also taking care of the child. Her eldest daughter is in the second grade of elementary school, and she herself works as a maid in the county town, supporting a family of four on a meager salary. However, last month, her son was suddenly diagnosed with congenital polycystic kidney disease and needs a kidney transplant within six months.

For this, Chi Lixiu has spent all of the family’s savings of thirty thousand yuan, borrowed over ten thousand from relatives, and raised eighty thousand through documents issued by a charity institution.

But this is just a drop in the bucket.

To perform the surgery and save her son, there is still a financial gap of around four hundred thousand.

For this already struggling family, this amount is enough to drive them to despair.

But Chi Lixiu never gave up, carrying her sick son on her back every day, begging along the street, and posting help requests on major popular online forums.

After reading the post, Su Xin registered an account named ’Good Samaritan’ and replied:

“Do you think you can just casually post online and expect others to help with real money? If you are truly that desperate for money, walk on your knees around West Iron City Center Square, and I’ll donate two hundred thousand immediately.”
