“So, it really was you.”
The calm voice made Chen Xuanxuan even more terrified. He couldn't bother to defend himself and shrieked frantically,
“Mr. Wei Weisi, you can’t just kill Abnormalities in Deluo City!”
“Yes, you can’t just kill Abnormalities in Deluo City, you’re absolutely right!”
Wei Weisi’s skin returned to its pink color, and he lowered Chen Xuanxuan from mid-air.
However, he did not release the tentacle that was binding his neck.
“But, you’re just an Ordinary Level Abnormality.
To kill you, I only need to pay the Enforcement Team of Deluo City 200 gray coins, and this matter will be settled.”
Chen Xuanxuan frantically clawed at the tentacle on his neck, hissing,
“No, Mr. Wei Weisi! I’m not worth 200 gray coins! I only wanted 10 gray coins—”
Before he could finish speaking, he transformed into a gray stream of air, which was sucked into Wei Weisi’s body by the suction cups on the tentacle.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten an Ordinary Level Abnormality. This taste is truly delicious. I’ll just consider it a grand meal for 200 gray coins!”
The enormous octopus head swayed back and forth, as if intoxicated by the deliciousness.
Then, he shifted his gaze to Lin Luo, and a hint of greed and desire actually appeared in his eyes.
Lin Luo, who had witnessed the entire process, felt the Spooky Power increasing out of thin air within him, comprehending the various powers of a new realm.
He had completed the previous mission, and his current Spooky Power had already reached 10.1.
And with 10.1 Spooky Power, he was no longer a Plain-Class Abnormality.
“Mr. Wei Weisi, if you were to kill a Dangerous-Grade Abnormality in Deluo City,
I’m afraid the price you would have to pay would be something you couldn’t afford.”
Strands of Spooky Power emanated, intertwining on Lin Luo’s body, bringing forth waves of dangerous fluctuations.
Wei Weisi’s eyes cleared, and looking at those wisps of Spooky Power, his eight tentacles intertwined.
“You are also a Dangerous-Grade Abnormality, I didn’t even realize it!
Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused earlier!”
Although Wei Weisi could tell from these Spooky Powers that this postman had just broken through to Dangerous-Grade Abnormality.
But that was still a Dangerous-Grade Abnormality, which had a fundamental difference from a Plain-Class Abnormality!
It seemed like the Spooky Power only increased from 9 to 10, but it wasn’t just a simple increase of 1 Spooky Power.
Crossing this boundary, the quality of the Spooky Power itself would undergo a significant improvement; 1 Spooky Power was equivalent to 2 Spooky Power from before!
Each time a boundary was broken, the Spooky Power would undergo a transformation.
“It’s nothing, Mr. Wei Weisi. I’m happy to serve you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”
Lin Luo maintained a standard gentle smile on his face.
“How can that be? You’ve helped me a great deal, you are my friend. How could I neglect my friend?”
Wei Weisi’s eight tentacles swayed in unison as he said loudly,
“Come on, Mr. Postman, come to my house and have a cup of fresh bitter ink before you go!
Oh, and I haven’t asked for your name yet?”
bitter ink?
It didn't sound like anything good!
Whether fresh or not fresh!
“I—”
【Ding! Dangerous-Grade Abnormality Kelin Vives has issued a mission to you:
Follow him into the room and drink a cup of fresh bitter ink.
Mission Completion Reward: gray coin x 30, Spooky Power + 0.1, Kelin Vives’s Favorability + 5】
“You can call me Lin Luo! It is my honor to be able to taste fresh bitter ink with you, Mr. Wei Weisi!”
For Spooky Power, let alone fresh bitter ink, Lin Luo felt he could even try un-fresh bitter ink.
Following Wei Weisi into his room, Lin Luo was stunned by the expanse of green before his eyes.
Green table, green chairs, green… ceiling!
Wei Weisi pulled out a chair for Lin Luo to sit down, then went into the kitchen, came out with two green cups.
“Lin Luo, I’ll call you Lin Luo from now on, it makes us seem closer.”
He placed one of the green cups in front of Lin Luo, and his eight tentacles stretched out, coiling around the chair.
He adjusted his eye level to be even with Lin Luo’s eyes.
Then he freed two tentacles, picked up the green cup, and gestured to Lin Luo.
Lin Luo looked at the black unknown liquid with rolling gray bubbles in the cup, his mouth twitching, and he reluctantly picked up the cup.
Is it really okay to drink this?
It should be okay, right?
That 25 Favorability shouldn't be for show, and killing a Dangerous-Grade Abnormality isn't something this big octopus can afford, right?
Licking his lips, Lin Luo closed his eyes and slowly drank the fresh bitter ink in the cup.
It's really not easy for 0.1 Spooky Power...
Huh, wait!
This taste!?
It seems, it’s not bad?
It was like very bitter chocolate melted, then lemon juice was poured into it, followed by a large spoonful of salt, and finally finished with chili sauce!
It was much better than Lin Luo had imagined!
【Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission! You have received gray coin x 30, Spooky Power + 0.1, Kelin Vives’s Favorability + 5】
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Wei Weisi put down his cup and rushed to open the door, muttering, “These Enforcement Team guys sure are fast!”
How could they not be fast? This was 200 gray coins!
A hint of curiosity flashed in Lin Luo’s eyes; he hadn’t seen an Abnormality from the Enforcement Team yet.
But Wei Weisi only opened the door a crack and peered outside.
After confirming the other party’s identity, he neatly handed out two gray coins with a value of 100.
Then he quickly closed the door and rapidly wriggled back to his chair.
“These Enforcement Team guys are truly terrifying. I really don’t want to have anything to do with them!”
Drinking the bitter ink in his cup to calm his nerves, Wei Weisi relaxed.
And when he saw the empty cup in front of Lin Luo, his tentacles immediately began to wave.
“It looks like you really like bitter ink! That’s great, wait a moment, I’ll get you another cup!”
“Wait!”
Lin Luo decisively stopped his actions.
“Wei Weisi, I just remembered I still have things to deal with. Let’s drink this bitter ink another time, I’ll head back first!”
With that said, having already received his reward, he swiftly left this dangerous place under Wei Weisi’s surprised gaze.
At this moment, three moon-like objects, one red, one blue, and one green, replaced the original sun, hanging high above the night sky.
It was already night.
Ding-a-ling—
Not far away, a yellowish-brown bus slowly approached and stopped at the bus stop by the street.
There was an Abnormality completely shrouded in a black robe there.
Lin Luo walked towards the bus without hesitation; he didn’t want to walk alone on the street on a night in this Weird World.
Who knew what terrifying things he might encounter.
Deluo City during the day still maintained order, but at night, this situation underwent a subtle change.
Following behind the black-robed Abnormality, Lin Luo gently placed a gray coin with a value of 5 into the small wooden box next to the driver.
It’s worth mentioning that this driver looked very much like a human, only his complexion was a bit pale.
He scanned the carriage, found there were still many seats, so Lin Luo casually picked one and sat down, then called out to the system in his mind.
It was time to claim the achievement rewards!
Opening his personal panel, the line of text, “Danger is the only way to feel alive,” shimmered with a faint white light.
As if telling Lin Luo, “Click me, there’s something good!”
