Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Mr. Maniac

Although Su Changxing’s post was sent to every forum, he couldn’t see the replies from other forums.

This seems to be one of the limitations of the Doomsday Game.

“The effect of the Revenge Red Line has ended, but the task is not over yet. It should settle completely when daylight comes.”

Su Changxing noticed the effect of the “Revenge Red Line” had ended, and he felt at ease. Always having his position exposed was a nerve-wracking experience.

He took out a set of prepared clothes from his backpack, a gray and white hoodie, and deep black sweatpants, put on a hat, and crawled into his sleeping bag to sleep. Relaxing a bit, exhaustion hit, and he quickly fell asleep.

Because the sleep state could maintain God’s Perspective, he wasn’t worried about any accidents happening while he slept, just that messing around could drop his Mysteriousness.

Sleep.

Sleep.

······

Su Changxing slowly opened his eyes, with a faint red light seeping through the curtains’ gaps. He checked the time on his phone, 8:40, having slept for about four hours.

The injuries on his body were almost healed, the small wounds left no trace, and the large ones left only scars.

“Is the reduced sleep time because my Mysteriousness increased?”

Su Changxing took a large sip from the water bottle beside him and found that the task had settled when he opened his phone.

[Side Task (Hunt and Rule) Completed

Successfully escaped and killed more than fifty Hunters.

Received a high-quality Mysterious Item as a reward, granting one Tier Nine advancement opportunity]

Su Changxing looked at the task settlement, stunned. He clearly remembered he hadn’t killed over fifty Hunters.

“The Hunters killed by Jin counted as mine too, meaning that all the Hunters who died because of me were counted.”

He pondered a little, thinking that the advancement granted by the task should be random, choosing one ability or talent to advance among many, which could either be useful or pointless.

Claim reward.

[Pistol Enthusiast: More proficient in handling pistols, with a 15% increase in shooting speed, a 15% correction in accuracy, a 15% increase in bullet flight speed, a 15% increase in damage, and a 15% increase in armor-piercing]

As expected, it was this one.

Su Changxing had already guessed that it was very likely to be this one, and if not, it would have been an advancement of a melee ability.

He had been fighting frequently, using the pistol a lot, heavily relying on pistol combat.

“Pistol Enthusiast” is a comprehensive enhancement of a Shooter’s abilities. Although each individual stat increase isn’t significant, the overall enhancement is quite substantial, forming an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

For instance, with a 15% increase in damage and a 15% increase in armor-piercing, the destructive power increase would be greater than 30%.

The values of ability advancement in the second upgrade were higher compared to the first. The first “Pistol Enthusiast” was a 10% increase for each item, while this time, it was a 15% increase, raising the strength by half.

“It’s quite good; it’s just that now the pistol has no bullets left. We’ll have to wait for the next shop refresh.”

Then, Su Changxing saw a blue backpack, slightly smaller than his current one, appear in his hands.

[Type A310 Travel Backpack (Lower Rank of C Crown): A cutting-edge technology item from an advanced technological civilization, one of the few samples due to the rarity of materials.

Durable, wear-resistant, can serve as basic bulletproof armor, utilizing space folding technology. Its internal space is 7.77 times its actual size, and its actual weight is only one-seventh of its expected weight.

Set with energy matrix points, capable of activating a defensive energy shield, with a full charge time of ten days and a minimum charge time of five days. The shield’s strength increases with charge time.

At maximum strength, it can withstand an attack from a Level One energy weapon or a standard anti-materiel firearm.

An essential item for home and travel, Chenhua Technology is worthy of your trust]

“Can such a technological product even be considered a Mysterious Item?”

Su Changxing was a bit bewildered, touching the backpack’s surface. It had a matte feel, and the material was resilient, resembling fiber, with the inside being all black.

He tried putting a can into the backpack, and as it entered, it continuously shrunk in size, its weight decreased, until he could hold it with just two fingers.

“It’s a bit magical. A civilization possessing such technology is indeed astonishing, at least three hundred years ahead of Terra.”

Su Changxing fiddled for a while, placing each item from the old backpack into the new one. After putting everything in, the items only occupied a small part of the space, and the weight was so light it didn’t affect his movement at all.

He then found that the Shadow Bow could also fit inside, giving a very peculiar feeling of a larger item fitting into a smaller one.

During the day, the red mist in the sky faded considerably but still lingered, casting the world in a dim, reddish hue, creating an unreal feeling.

Shen Jinxuan opened her eyes to such a red world, finding herself in an abandoned café. Broken coffee cups lay on the ground, covered in thick dust, whispering of how long it had been neglected.

“The taste of chocolate and cream·····”

She licked her lips, noticing a light blue patterned blanket draped over her, so clean it seemed out of place in this Doomsday World.

“Again, the sleep disorder has turned into severe sleepwalking.”

She dreamed of having a dream, killing many Zombies, wandering the streets, then meeting a man, and they went into a café together······

A very vague dream, she only remembered the gist, with no memory of the details, and it was even fragmented in parts.

“So yesterday I did eat a chocolate cake, or maybe two? But how would such a ghostly place have chocolate cake, and such a clean blanket at that.”

Shen Jinxuan was full of confusion, as she lifted the blanket, preparing to check her surroundings, seeing a man walking out with a bottle of water.

A somewhat familiar face.

“You’re awake too, right? Eat something, and then we’ll leave.”

Su Changxing looked at Shen Jinxuan with black hair and eyes staring dazedly at him, feeling a sense of familiarity, realizing this person was the weakest Shen Jinxuan.

Shen Jinxuan blinked and said, “Are you······ Mr. Murderer?”

Su Changxing felt a bit of a toothache, resentful of this nickname, replied grumpily, “I’m not called a Murderer, nor am I one, Miss Reporter.”

He casually picked up the blanket from the table, folded it, and put it into his backpack.

A sudden situation.

Shen Jinxuan adapted quickly. Every time she woke up these days, she would find herself in a different place, even once appearing on a rooftop with no way down.

The first few times, she was terrified, but after experiencing it several times, she became much calmer, realizing she was still alive.

She only knew that she seemed to be sleepwalking all over the Doomsday World. By all rights, she should have been dead by now, but strangely enough, she wasn’t.
