77: Chapter 80: Bats 77: Chapter 80: Bats Even for a super-large organization, the Hidden Room is an extrely important strategic resource and foundational asset; they’re even willing to commit murder for it.
After thinking it over, Li Cheng placed the Stone Key at the very bottom of the Backpack, deciding not to take it out on usual occasions—for the sake of his own safety as the note ntioned that the keys attract each other.
Next, it was ti for the exciting unboxing mont, the random item rewards *2 ntioned in the mission rewards.
Li Cheng, rubbing his hands together like a fly, clicked to open two treasure chests.
[Item Na: Bat Hook Claw Gun]
[Type: Tool]
[Quality: Rare]
[Special Effect: Speed Swinging.
After shooting out the hook claw, gain an extra directional acceleration to move in a nearly impossible manner in the eyes of others]
[Consumption: 7 Spiritual Power Points]
[Cooling Ti: 3 seconds]
[Equipnt Conditions: Strength attribute greater than or equal to 7, Constitution attribute greater than or equal to 6]
[Note: I’m Batemans]
This item is a hook gun, completely black and quite heavy, with a bat symbol on one side.
The tip features a hook claw spike, with a motor, steel cable, and winch in the middle of the gun body.
“Uh…
it surely isn’t stolen from so brother who doesn’t want his na revealed, orphaned and by day a super-rich philanthropist, by night a vigilante of the city, right?”
Li Cheng criticized with a comnt and lightly experinted with it in the Holographic Bone Corridor, finding the hook gun unexpectedly useful.
The length of its steel cable can reach up to 20 ters, equivalent to the height of a seven-story building.
After firing, pressing a button once can quickly pull up the shooter, and pressing it twice can retract the hook claw and rope ahead of ti.
Moreover, unlike the non-superhuman items sold on Killing Field Slum Street, this hook gun has the special effect of “gaining an extra directional acceleration,” which allows the user to step forward slightly after hooking onto a building above and swing out far while rising.
“The consumption of Spiritual Power is small, and the cooling ti is also short.
If used well, one could cosplay both Batman and Spiderman at the sa ti.”
Li Cheng put away the hook gun and turned to the second item.
[Item Na: Healing Gel]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: Rare]
[Special Effect: High-efficiency hemostasis.
Spray the liquid onto the wound to form a gel that stops blood flow, solidifies injuries, and prevents them from worsening, lasting up to 5 hours]
[Consumption: None]
[Cooling Ti: None]
[Use Conditions: None]
[Note: The Healing Gel totals 200ml, each use requires at least 20ml, can be used ten tis]
[Note: The product expands by itself after spraying, so ingesting is strictly forbidden!]
This is a small and exquisite gray-white tal spray can, with a graphic user manual sticker attached to its surface.
“The concentrated liquid inside turns into a quick-expanding blue gel upon contact with oxygen.
Its ergency aid effect is quite good, no less powerful than so dical skills.
It can solidify injuries, buying ti to return to the Killing Field and have a doctor in the slum sew up the wound.”
Li Cheng put away the spray can, opened his personal panel, and read a system notification he had just received.
[Summoner has been upgraded to Lv5, Title System and Trait System now unlocked]
The so-called [Title] refers to a special evaluation given by the system based on the player’s specific performance in missions.
A title grants the player a special ability, either active or passive, equivalent to an extra skill.
Players can have multiple titles but can only equip one at a ti, and there is a 48-hour cooling period when switching titles.
Like the Stack Soldier encountered during the Death Curse Torrent mission, his [Overworked Programr] title allowed him to reduce consumption and lower use conditions when using data-related skills.
As for Li Cheng…
his player nickna on the personal panel blurred, and after a brief delay, new words erged in front of him.
[Title Na: Life-Sacrificing Gambler]
[Release thod: Active]
[Special Effect: Abyss of Reckless Gambling.
Consu Sanity Points to increase the probability of a random event one ti.
The enhancent effect depends on Sanity Points]
[Consumption: At least 30 Sanity Points]
[Cooling Ti: 10 seconds]
[Note: I bet your gun isn’t loaded]
As Li Cheng read the nickna description, the system automatically projected the scene of him picking up a Mysterious Box from the corridor floor, unleashing the Hell Monk, and making a desperate gamble to turn the tides when pursued by the evil spirit Alma.
“Life-Sacrificing Gambler, feels like showing this title during the next script mission would damage my shining image.
And this note, could it an Captain China, Yan Shuangying, the great hero, is also a Lv5 Summoner?
Uh, considering his performance, the average Lv5 player is no match for him.”
Li Cheng murmured to himself, begrudgingly equipping the title but inwardly admitting its value.
The Trait System ntioned in the system notification is similar to the Title System, also provided by the system based on player performance.
The difference is that traits directly affect the player’s panel data.
For example, [Health Guru: 1 Constitution]
[Jungle Hunter: 1 Perception]
[Conspirator: 1 Intelligence, 1 Charm]
[Reckless: 2 Strength, -1 Intelligence]
[Fractured: -1 Strength, -1 Agility]
[Parricide Beast: 100 to maximum Sanity Value]
Traits will be updated in real-ti according to the player’s current status.
If a player has been forced to undergo a frontal lobotomy, then all their traits related to Intelligence will be cleared.
Similarly, if the player recovers from a broken bone, their injury-related traits will also disappear on their own.
In certain situations, players can consciously “farm points” to obtain exceptionally powerful traits.
For example, [Son of the Demon: 2 Strength, 2 Agility, 3 Charm]
[Master of Strategy: 4 Intelligence]
[Valkyrie: 1 Strength, 1 Agility, 1 Constitution]
[Innocent Child: -4 Intelligence, 500 to maximum Spiritual Power Value]
The ‘Innocent Child’ here is sowhat similar to the Daoist concept of being naturally pure and immaculate, with exceptional innate intelligence but lacking self-awareness.
The Alien Species Out of Control mission only lasted less than two hours, and Li Cheng didn’t manage to farm any traits, which didn’t surprise him.
He stretched lazily and lay back down on the bed to check his last gain.
After he killed the Pyramid Head in the Holographic Bone Corridor, he also obtained a temporary Passive Skill nad [Bloodthirsty Fury].
It slightly increases attack speed after wounding a living target.
It’s a pleasant surprise.
After adding a free attribute point to Strength (in order to use the Pyramid Head’s Straight Blade), his current character panel beca:
[Life-Sacrificing Gambler·Ant]
[Lv5.
Experience Bar at 240/500]
[Strength: 9] (Human Limit)
[Agility: 8] (Top Sprinter Level)
[Intelligence: 8] (Genius)
[Constitution: 7] (Professional Marathon Runner Level)
[Perception: 7] (Professional Hunter Level)
[Charm: 6] (Sowhat handso)
[Equipnt Column: Holographic Bone Corridor, Bat Hook Claw Gun, 170 Straight Blade]
[Backpack: Insect Lord’s Divine Calamity Crystal, Achili Toy Factory Key③, Healing Gel, SCAR Assault Rifle, drone, Erotic Daoist Robe, Mao Mountain Talisman, Single Soldier Equipnt, Ironing Board, Iron, Sound System]
[Skill Bar: Fog Concealnt Skill, Multi-threaded Brain Domain thod, Death Curse Torrent (Temporary), Bloodthirsty Fury (Temporary)]
[Ga currency: 1790]
——————
Earning money naturally ans spending it.
Over the next few days, Li Cheng frequented the Killing Field Slum Street to buy enough Strong Gene Inhibitors for two months’ worth of use, and then contacted a Driver to buy sothing from him.
The player ID of the Driver is [Red Driver], probably inspired by the protagonist na from gas like Pocket Monster Red·Green.
He is affiliated with the Thousand Throats Beast Guild, which specializes in breeding Magic Pet Beasts and has dedicated logistics players within to craft related items.
The Driver sold Li Cheng a constant temperature reptile box with space-folding and automatic feeding functions at an employee discount.
Normally, Li Cheng could place the mantises, crickets, and rhinoceros beetles that have co into contact with the Master of Insects in it, so he wouldn’t have to feed them every day.
After dealing with the hidden dangers, the only thing left in front of Li Cheng is one issue—moving.
Staying at his aunt’s house was not a long-term solution; the player identity was just too dangerous, with an uncertain future, and one never knows when they might die in a Script Task.
Returning as a heap of decomposed flesh and bones would still be considered lucky.
If he brought back evil spirits, resentful ghosts, curses, or tic contamination…
it would inevitably bring harm to his family.
Li Cheng exchanged a large sum of cash in the slum street and asked Yuan Zhixia to help forge two years’ worth of bank statents, and then he ca clean to his aunt’s family.
“You want to move out, Xiao Cheng?”
Uncle Xue Jingming, who was sitting on the sofa, was especially surprised and hesitated, “What’s…
going on?”
“I’m fine, it’s just that the college entrance examination is coming, and I want to move to a quieter place.
The vacated room can be transford into a study room, which will also be beneficial for my younger cousins’ studies.”
Li Cheng smiled and took out a dozen bank cards, as well as a stack of bank statents and stock trading records, “Aunt, uncle, look, these are my stock market earnings over the past two years.
I started from my freshman year in high school when I used the two thousand yuan of pocket money as start-up capital to invest in the stock market, and in nearly two years, I’ve made a little money.”
In China, minors can purchase stocks, provided they hold valid ID docunts and have the consent of their legal guardians, who must sign the relevant agreents.
Conveniently, during Li Cheng’s freshman year at Zhuo Yue Middle School, there was an interest course in investnt and financial managent, where each student was given 30,000 yuan of virtual capital to invest in a virtual market for two months.
Its purpose was to teach financial knowledge to students and establish healthy savings and investnt concepts—although the majority ended up with losses.
At that ti, Li Cheng had completed the preliminary procedures for a minor to purchase stocks, which he now conveniently used as his cover story.
“Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands…”
Xue Jingming flipped through the bank statents, growing more and more astonished, “You made this much?”
“Yes.”
Li Cheng shalessly nodded his head.
Yuan Zhixia had designed a full set of stock trading records for him, including photovoltaic, steel, electric vehicles, coal…
with both short and long positions.
Reaching a million-level profit in two years, the ups and downs were not exaggerated when averaged out.
Cousins Xue Lingyu and Xue Luong looked at him with surprised and bewildered eyes, completely unable to imagine that Li Cheng, who had been living under the sa roof for so long, would suddenly reveal another side.
No, when did you beco an investnt genius?
“In addition to stocks and securities, I also made conservative investnts and diversified my assets to increase my resistance to risk.
Even if a financial tsunami hits, I won’t lose everything.”
Li Cheng casually said, “I only ca to talk to you, aunt and uncle, after I had everything prepared.”
