Dragon City Imperial Scenery Residential Area.
Building 1 location.
The remaining two Bakatan Civilization lifeforms both lowered their heads to look at a device on their wrists.
It showed that the vital signs of all three of their companions had disappeared.
One of the Bakatan lifeforms looked at its captain: "This... no signal, no warning, killing three of our companions in a row—there's probably a Human Expert in this residential area!"
The captain, however, was very calm. Its foot was currently stepping on the corpse of a human woman.
At that moment, it was forcefully tearing the woman's body apart, lifting up a young girl she had been desperately protecting beneath her, gripping her in its palm. Accompanied by a crack...
blood mixed with bone fragments flowed down from its palm.
It watched this scene cruelly, speaking in the unique Bakatan language: "Seems we're quite lucky. That Human Expert managed to silently kill three of us in a row—if the two of us went over, we might not even be a match for them. Let's not move for now, and report to headquarters immediately... We need to wipe out all the individuals among these foolish natives with potential, before they have a chance to grow..."
"Then what should we do now..."
"Avoid that direction, and continue the massacre... These humans, they're all Contribution Points. We need to earn back the full million points we spent on landing early!"
As it spoke, a terrifying, savage light flickered in its pupils!
……
This was a night of madness.
The young man in black was surrounded by people, and through a strange twist of fate, became a big shot.
Just now, he had poked his head out to look, and those two Bakatan people had suddenly died—if it wasn't this young man in black who did it, then who else could it have been?
One elderly woman even knelt before the young man in black.
The rest of the crowd was also chattering excitedly, unable to contain themselves.
"So strong! The person building manager Fan found is amazing—I thought I was done for just now! Big shot, you have to protect us!"
"So that's a B-rank talent? How did he even do that—just one glance, and their heads exploded!"
"Sigh, I wonder how my family is doing."
"Quick, hide, hide!"
Someone recklessly ran out to try to grab the Bakatan people's weapons, but the moment they picked them up, those firearms—almost half a person's height—let out a series of rapid beeping sounds, and then exploded with a roar, blowing the upper halves of their bodies away.
From then on, no one dared touch those "spoils of war" again.
Fan Wenchuan had originally wanted to step forward too, but seeing this scene, he instinctively took a step back. Turning his head, he spotted Lin Qun in the crowd.
He still vividly remembered how Lin Qun had rejected him.
In his view, facts had now proven he was right—if he hadn't found this big shot who had awakened a B-rank talent, they would probably all be dead by now!
So Fan Wenchuan reached out and stopped Lin Qun, saying, "I know you bought supplies. Why not bring them out to share, and join us—you saw for yourself how powerful the B-rank expert I found is!"
With Modu in the midst of huge change and the military nowhere to be found, tying themselves to this powerful B-rank Talent User was now the only way to survive.
And to tie the Opponent down, they naturally needed to offer up supplies.
What Fan Wenchuan was really after wasn't pulling Lin Qun in—it was obviously trying to take a share of Lin Qun's things!
Lin Qun was in the middle of his "tenfold Sage time," his head not quite clear, with no attention to spare for Fan Wenchuan. He glanced at him once, pushed through the crowd surrounding the young man in black, and headed upstairs on unsteady legs.
He was worried the remaining two would come to kill him as well!
He could only use it twice more before hitting his limit—better to hurry upstairs.
Recovering Energy took time!
As for currying favor with Fan Wenchuan, there was simply no need.
The only thing Lin Qun found a bit odd was why everyone was gathered over there—he had no idea that the credit for killing three Bakatan Civilization creatures in a row had been pinned entirely on someone else.
But he didn't care either, and quickened his pace to hurry upstairs.
His head felt empty, his steps unsteady, yet his heart kept pounding non-stop.
Watching Lin Qun walk off in a daze, Fan Wenchuan frowned slightly.
A thin, sallow man currying favor beside him immediately said, "Look at that guy, all shaky like that—he's probably scared out of his mind. Brother Fan, let's hurry upstairs!"
Fan Wenchuan nodded and found the young man in black, who was still dazed: "Li Xinghe, quick, let's go upstairs."
Li Xinghe was indeed the young man in black.
He had become the big shot everyone was crowding around, surrounded by the group, but only he himself knew—it wasn't him at all.
He was deeply confused.
Who was it, then?
People's hearts were in turmoil. Everyone had fled into the buildings, nervously watching what was outside.
The residential area was already a river of blood, the dead lying strewn beneath the buildings, while the living were just as terrified.
Gunshots and screams echoed near and far, and terrifying giant Sail Giant Ships soared through the sky above, heralding the beginning of the Apocalypse.
A global War had begun, right then and there!
Fan Wenchuan and the others crowded together on the first and second floors, surrounding Li Xinghe the big shot like stars around the moon, afraid to stray too far.
Lin Qun, meanwhile, returned to his own home, sat dazed for a while, downed a bottle of water, ate a bowl of instant noodles, and only then started to feel a bit better.
His Energy rose along with his recovery.
It went from six to eight.
"Efficient rest and feeding should both accelerate Energy recovery, but if I stay tense or keep moving, my Energy probably won't grow... I just wonder if there's something like a Blue Potion out there?"
It was only now that Lin Qun had time to look into his harvest.
The first thing he opened was his Personal Panel.
His Data had changed a little.
In the Personal Level row, it now read 【Level: 1（150/100）】.
There was also a plus sign after it.
One Bakatan Civilization creature was worth 50 experience, so three came to 150—he had reached the standard for a Personal Level increase.
Lin Qun pondered for a moment, then, with a simple thought, selected it.
Instantly, Lin Qun felt as if he'd been struck by an electric current.
A tingling numbness spread through his entire body for a moment.
Then, he clearly felt his Body grow lighter.
Looking at the panel again, his Attributes had changed!
【Name: Lin Qun.】
【Level: 2（50/200）】
【Strength: 8】
【Agility: 7】
【Physique: 9】
【Energy: 8/14】
【Prompt: the standard value for ordinary people for all the above Data is 10】
【Talent: Card Draw Bonus Ability.】
【Current Remaining card draws: 0.】
【Skill:】
【1. "Bang"（Skill Level: Level 1）: within a 10-meter radius centered on yourself, fix your gaze on a target to use this Skill to precisely destroy any part of a carbon-based lifeform's Body.】
【Currently able to directly Detonate targets with a Physique cap of: 18（when used against enemies whose Physique exceeds this value, the effect will be reduced）】
Strength, Agility, and Physique had all gone up by one point each. Of course, such minor increases weren't yet enough to be noticeable, and Lin Qun's perception of them was faint—but the biggest changes, without a doubt, were in Energy and Physique.
Physique had gone up by one point.
The cap on what his Headshot Girl Skill could Detonate had increased directly.
And his Energy cap had increased as well.
His Energy now far exceeded that of an ordinary person!
14 points of Energy.
At most, he could use the Skill six times in a row without holding back!
That was equivalent to one more bullet than before!
If his Personal Level kept rising, and as long as his Physique kept climbing...
wouldn't this Skill be able to blow apart even a god's head?
Thinking of this, Lin Qun's breath slowed by half a beat.
This was, without question, a Godly Skill!
And it was still the very first Skill he'd drawn using his card draw ability.
Heaven only knew what he'd draw next!
His Personal Level needed to rise, and his Skill Level needed to rise too!
And most crucial of all, he needed to obtain more Card Draw Opportunities!
Others only had one ability, but this Headshot Girl Ability was merely Lin Qun's first ability.
Thinking of this, he steadied his mind, preparing to check the War Zone ranking system and, most importantly, his Contribution Points.
Leveling up his talent, obtaining more Card Draw Opportunities—it all depended on Contribution Points!
