Chapter 379: Chapter 373: The Young Monk

The temperature at night gradually dropped, and Su Changxing didn’t move, lying beside the withered tree like a corpse, motionless.

He was very tired and didn’t want to move anymore. With his physical fitness, the cold wasn’t a big problem, but it made his recovery slower.

His fingers could now move slightly, and he placed the revolver at his waist. The glittering piece in his palm was still shining with golden light, but much dimmer, almost extinguished.

“I’m now in another direction of the Energy Station, and the influence here will gradually weaken. Does this mean I’ve entered another area?”

Their forum covered the entire big city; the other areas were either empty or everyone there was already dead.

And this area should belong to another forum.

“But this area should be some small cities. Do they have one small forum for each small city or one big forum for the nearby small cities?”

Su Changxing thought about these questions idly and wasn’t in a hurry to move because he’d completely lost motivation and seemingly had nothing to do.

Although this place also belonged to the No-Man’s Land, it didn’t affect him much, and the golden glittering piece was still working.

This place was empty, with no zombies, no humans, and no other strange things, like a paradise.

Hmm, no, it should be called a withered tree paradise.

He could totally understand why some old men could pull up a chair and sit on empty ground for an entire afternoon — it was this kind of leisurely and peaceful feeling.

In his random thoughts, he fell asleep again, this time more deeply. When he woke up, it was late at night, yet the rest of his body felt numb.

He opened his phone to check the attribute panel.

Name: Su Changxing

Power: 10 (Extraordinary)

Speed: 10.5 (Extraordinary)

Physique: 9.4 (Extraordinary)

Perception: 8.7 (comparable to the Prophet’s acuity)

Spirit: 17 (Extraordinary)

Status: Severe Disability

Position: Tier Eight, Deceiver (Upper Rank, Incomplete) Compatibility 99%

Mysteriousness: 7200/8000

Evaluation: Your powerful body barely kept you alive, but only just. Recovery seems to require a long time. Your strength is significantly weakened; hide like a rat in the sewer for now.

Why does his Spiritual Power have seventeen points?

Two points appeared out of nowhere.

He previously had ten points, Deep Dream added three points, and the position’s increase was about two points, so there were two additional points out of nowhere.

“Because of having died once?”

Su Changxing speculated, then took out the remaining three pieces of Giant Hand Organization from his backpack.

[Would you like to spend 50,000 points to advance]

[Yes]

[Analyzing]

[Choose advancement direction]

Thousands of advancement directions appeared once more in Su Changxing’s mind, including abilities and skill enhancements.

After reaching Tier Eight, an advancement took a long time, so he hadn’t chosen to advance before entering the Energy Station, as there just wasn’t enough time.

He finally understood the words of the head: surviving was always the most important, which explained why it lived even as just a head.

It was due to the head’s methods that he survived.

For this advancement direction, he was sure to enhance the recovery ability of Deep Dream. Given his current situation, he had no other choice.

[Sleeping Lizardman (Rank C Crown Upper Rank): The more severe the injury, the stronger the recovery ability, up to five times. Even severed limbs can regenerate.]

[Estimated advancement time: five days, please prepare]

······

He closed his eyes and fell asleep again; the advancement of his ability instead slowed his recovery speed, but it was all temporary.

The next morning, Su Changxing felt unusually hungry, ate all the canned food in his backpack, and felt a bit better.

Then he took out the pills he brought from the Energy Station, which were in red and blue colors.

[Calm Pill (Rare): Produced by Shield Company, with strong calming effects, making a person completely calm and blocking external influences to some extent, but its blocking ability is extremely limited.]

[Euphoria Pill (Rare): Produced by Shield Company, with strong euphoric effects, making a person excited and unable to sleep. Correspondingly, it amplifies external influences.

This seems to be a kind of advancement material for Extraordinary beings]

“It’s really amazing that such things could be crafted; does this count as the overlap of science and the mysterious realm?”

Su Changxing marvelled at the effects of the two pills, especially the red one, which, in a normal environment, might foster the emergence of a Superpower User.

“Looking at it this way, the blue pill can certainly slow down the transformation into a corpse, but only slow down. It should be effective for Zhu Xin Xue’s condition.”

Not until the afternoon.

He could clearly feel the speed of his wound’s recovery increasing, the cut on his arm closing up, and his fingers could move dexterously.

Just as he closed his eyes to rest, feigning sleep, he saw a person walking from a distance, bald, and dressed like a monk.

Someone?

Su Changxing was startled too, instinctively suspecting the person was a creature that escaped from the Energy Station rather than a human.

With his power greatly diminished, encountering some powerful creatures might pose a problem, even leading to his death.

He held the revolver in his hand, placed it in his arms, and closed his eyes, appearing like a dead person.

“Why is there a dead person here, and he seems recently deceased.”

That was a young monk, likely very young, with delicate and handsome features. Standing at a distance, he looked at Su Changxing, and muttered to himself.

[Human (Extraordinary): A pure human, also a genuine monk, who is currently very curious about you.]

He really was human.

The monk walked over, stared at Su Changxing with a curious look, then sat cross-legged in front of him and began chanting scriptures in a low voice.

“Little monk, what are you doing?”

Su Changxing opened his eyes and suddenly said.

The monk, startled, jumped up from the ground, aimed his Buddhist beads at Su Changxing, and shouted:

“Demon!”

“······”

Su Changxing’s face twitched; he didn’t know what to say, never expecting he would one day not only be mistaken for a killer but also a demon.

Seeing Su Changxing not reacting much, the monk calmed down gradually, and said, “Huh? You aren’t dead yet?”

Su Changxing sighed, thinking this monk wasn’t that bright, nodded and said:

“Of course, otherwise, why would I be here talking to you? Am I really a demon? By the way, what were you doing just now?”

The monk touched the back of his head, embarrassed, and said: “Oh, just now I was chanting······ chanting the Rebirth Scripture.”
