And her father, too!
He has his own backer, doesn’t he?
..
It was past eight in the morning.
A truck finally appeared in Harvest Town, heading towards the Garden Estate.
The side of the truck bore the na of so floral company.
Townspeople on the road greeted the driver, as if he often visited this place.
Brian’s eyes squinted slightly, watching from seven or eight miles away as the driver took the truck to the Garden Estate.
After exchanging greetings with the old gatekeeper, he pushed a pile of goods inside.
More than half an hour later, the white truck driver wearing a hat erged from inside, looking strangely.
He chatted with the old gatekeeper again before getting back into his truck and driving away.
Almost the instant the other party left, two warm currents surged within Brian’s body, several kiloters away.
The little creature and her father’s obsessions were both fulfilled!
..
After completing the little creature’s second obsession yesterday, the Gift Energy in Brian’s hands had returned to eighty-six units.
For the little creature’s father, the hunched old man, he chose his second Gift directly: five points of Gift Energy plant cultivation mastery.
Plant cultivation mastery involved not just the planting of plants, but also an understanding of various plant characteristics.
This thing couldn’t be mastered purely through knowledge from books; it required spending ti and energy to deeply research and achieve mastery.
Knowledge is priceless; you never know when it might co in handy.
Brian didn’t care too much about the difference of a few points of Gift Energy.
As for the choice of Gift for the little monster’s first obsession…
Brian was rather conflicted.
The Gift for the little monster’s Obsession One, aside from the first Gift, which was purely Gift Energy, the second and third Gifts each ca with a very practical talent.
Gift Two: 30 points of Gift Energy slight Danger Perception
Gift Three: 10 points of Gift Energy ultrasonic shock perception
These two talents were much more user-friendly and easier to understand.
The first Gift was the Danger Perception Talent that Brian had encountered many tis.
However, the “slight” part made Brian very conflicted.
The little monster’s performance in this respect yesterday was quite average, not even as sharp as his uncle Billy’s keen Danger Perception in the past.
And based on Brian’s Blood Moon Talent, this slight Danger Perception corresponded to only twenty units of Gift Energy, indicating that the potential of this talent was rather diocre.
This might not be accurate, like Supercomputer Perception; strictly speaking, the compared Gift Energy isn’t high, but it’s very practical.
But a slight level of Danger Perception likely wouldn’t be much help to Brian at the mont.
He currently had physical reactions like hair standing on end in so threatening situations, which might be a result of his body and Spiritual Strength reaching a certain level, creating a danger warning.
Adding another low-intensity slight Danger Perception would be simply adding a burden to his psyche.
Gift Three’s talent was different.
Brian had experienced the ‘ultrasonic shock’ released by the little creature yesterday.
Green fainted without a word.
His own reaction was minor; after promptly controlling his ears to seal off, he only experienced a slight acceleration of his heart and a bit of mild dizziness in his head.
But consider Brian’s current physique.
Even with his ears sealed, he was affected, aning that the frequency of the ultrasonic waves emitted by the little monster likely couldn’t be blocked by simple physical ans.
Coupled with Brian’s lung capacity and physical fitness…
it was like having an additional ans to deal with an ordinary military siege.
Yes.
Brian’s hypothetical enemy had always been the human military.
This was the unease that ca from being a Mutant.
This unease would persist until Brian was exposed, or until he grew to a level where he could disregard conventional firepower, perhaps then it would disappear.
But before that, Brian valued any talent that could increase his area-of-effect attack capabilities!
..
After much deliberation,
Brian ultimately gave up on Gift Two, which seed rather insignificant, and chose Gift Three.
As he made his decision in his heart,
a tingling sensation surfaced in his throat.
Brian was astonished to find countless new tiny, sealable cavities amongst the minute toxin channels within his oral cavity.
Besides that,
his ears seed to have undergone so subtle changes.
Brian touched his ears, “It seems like there are so extra fine hairs on the surface of the cochleae.”
He tentatively opened his mouth and, using those holes, let out a faint “ah.”
The next mont,
an invisible fluctuation echoed throughout the room with his voice, eventually refracting back after hitting objects and returning to Brian’s ears, unexpectedly forming a three-dinsional image similar to sonar echolocation.
“No wonder this talent has ‘perception’ included in its na, so this is what it ans…”
Brian thought, delighted.
He had chosen correctly!
Next, he continued to experint.
The more he experinted, the more delighted he beca.
He had previously been misled by that little creature.
To activate this ability, one did not need to make a real sound; rather, the true sound produced by this ability was a controllable ultrasonic frequency that human ears could not hear.
The number of holes in the mouth that were closed, the direction they faced, and so on, all resulted in different effects that could be used to precisely probe nearby or distant areas, or for attacks that enveloped an area or were more focused.
This ability was a lot more aweso than Brian had imagined.
He was thoroughly enjoying himself.
Brian silently opened his mouth toward a glass beer bottle sitting atop a trash can a hundred ters away.
The next mont,
a transparent vibration appeared in the air and struck the neglected glass beer bottle.
Under Brian’s dynamic vision, the bottle first intensely manifested a dense pattern of fractures, the pattern forming a strange shape like one circle nested within another, before it exploded into countless irregular pieces of shattered glass…
He withdrew his gaze.
Brian yawned contentedly, feeling sowhat fatigued, and moved away from the window.
It was still too restrained here.
When he had ti, he’d go find so small mice to test his ability on.
However, this unexpected discovery had revived his sowhat dull mood.
This case was indeed worthwhile.
He had struck gold!
…
At exactly nine o’clock in the morning,
Brian received a call from Susan.
On the other side, Susan’s tone was a bit odd,
“Brian, when I went to get the investigation assistance order for you, NW headquarters revoked the case.
Oh, and a Second-level Staff mber from Sequence A nad Benjamin wants to schedule a ti to et with you.
Researchers in Sequence A have a high status; I’ve never even seen a second-level staffer before.
When did you get to know such a powerful person?”
Brian: “…If I knew him, would he need to go through you to schedule with ?”
There was a mont of silence on the other end, before Susan realized, “I guess that makes sense…
Well, such a person is a good connection to have; I’ll send his personal number to you.
When you have ti, you can reach out to him.”
After hanging up,
Brian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that this Benjamin guy must be soone from Black Light Biotechnology Company.
It was simple for them to find him—
the case and the location matched; it was impossible to keep hidden.
Yet for soone in NW like him, getting his personal contact details wouldn’t be difficult, but the fact that the other party chose to express their intention to et through Susan and even left a phone number…
This attitude was quite interesting.
“I guess it’s related to my current identity.
If I were a beat cop or an NW operative like Green, an outsider to the official ranks, the treatnt would probably not be like what I’m receiving now.”
Brian’s mouth curved into a smile.
Wasn’t this the reason he strived to climb the ranks?
Right, Susan’s support was also quite delightful.
This was indeed the correct path for a young person to take!
