Chapter 478: Chapter 64: Harsh Promotion Requirements

What a haunting howl it was, sending chills down to the very core······

·

After the howl, the corridor fell into silence, ethereal, as if time stood still.

The little boy was scared senseless, and the woman tightly covered his mouth to prevent him from making any noise. The shadows cast from the gap under the door looked like two legs silhouetted against the light from the window opposite.

The person outside the door walked slowly past, but without any sound.

”Snap~”

After a moment of silence, as if everything had passed, the man opened the door to look outside, showing a terrified expression, and quickly closed the door again in fright.

”What happened?” The woman wanted to see what was going on, but she was pulled back.

”Let’s wait for the Law Enforcement Team to get here before we go out.” The man took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, thinking it was safer to stay inside.

······

The morning sunlight shone on the deserted street, a thin layer of dust covered the glass, casting a warm halo.

Su Changxing’s eyes gleamed with a radiant glow, carrying Shen Jinxuan, moving unhurriedly through the abandoned city area.

This was his eleventh day back in East Forest.

Yesterday, he and Jin entered the abandoned area to clear out monsters and simultaneously fulfill the conditions for promotion.

This time, the High-tier Promotion offered the option of ”True Knowledge,” but he felt that enhancing combat ability might be more important, so he chose ”Precise Bullet Screen.”

Originally, choosing ”Concentrating” would have been the best.

This would be the most significant enhancement to his combat power, but not even a High-tier Promotion could upgrade it.

Therefore, he chose ”Precise Bullet Screen,” an ability stolen from that young master in the Black Fog World, which, once promoted, would no longer occupy a Stealing Position and would fully become his ability.

This was a win-win choice, freeing up a Stealing Position and maximizing his combat power.

[Perfect Bullet Screen (currently being promoted): Feel the pulse of the firearm, follow its heartbeat, and you will gain extraordinary power!]

This time, the promotion didn’t provide any conditions or time frame, leaving him initially baffled, thinking there was a mistake, but later realizing that’s just how it was, with no prompts.

[High-tier Promotion requires self-enlightenment]

However, he later used the analysis function in the discount shop, spending 800,000 points to analyze it, and only yesterday did he obtain the results.

[Promotion conditions:

Use firearms for precise long-range strikes 831/5000

Use firearms for continuous precise kills 80/300

Use firearms for shooting 3321/10000]

Seeing these conditions, although harsh, at least he knew how to fulfill them, instead of blindly groping around.

According to the head’s account, some promotions could trap an Extraordinary to death, with no way to advance without completing the promotion, and only High-tier Extraordinary beings could have a long life to resist the erosion of time.

Su Changxing thought the other conditions were relatively easy to complete, but the one requiring three hundred consecutive precise kills was the most challenging.

Each target required a single precise shot, and if interrupted, the count had to restart.

”Such a requirement is too difficult. If not for knowing the conditions clearly, it would be impossible to complete.”

Su Changxing frowned, muttering to himself, feeling something was off. Without the discount shop’s analysis, even if the other conditions could possibly be completed, the continuous kills were impossible.

Last night, he was extremely cautious with each shot, specifically targeting the weaker ones to ensure a one-shot kill; otherwise, he would finish them off with a scythe or leave it to Jin.

”Would such conditions seem too bloodthirsty?”

”Hmm?”

Su Changxing paused, suddenly realizing that it was likely due to his previous massacre of too many Gladiators in West Forest City, which led to such promotion conditions.

”Hmm? Where is this?”

Shen Jinxuan slowly opened her eyes, looking up at the sky, sensing the lingering sweetness of chocolate at the corners of her mouth.

In fact, she didn’t particularly like chocolate, but another part of her seemed to have a special fondness for it, as each time she awoke, her mouth tasted of chocolate.

Su Changxing gently set Shen Jinxuan down, picked up the sniper rifle, and took down a large bug armored in scales not far away, speaking:

”We’re near the base now; we’ll head straight to Residential Area No. 4.”

Shen Jinxuan thought for a moment and said, ”Did someone else die?”

”Yes.”

Su Changxing nodded, speaking softly: ”Quite a few people died, half of the people in a building were taken out. The investigators suspect it was done by humans. We’re nearby, so let’s stop by and take a look.”

Shen Jinxuan tidied her hair, taking a small mirror from her pocket to apply face cream, saying:

”It’s likely those Doomsday Cult members. They’re afraid of you, so they hide. I suspect there are people from the Security Bureau among them; otherwise, such incidents wouldn’t happen every time you leave.”

Su Changxing took a bottle of canned juice from his bag and handed it to her, saying:

”Probably, let’s go take a look first.”

Shen Jinxuan possessed the abilities of death perception and death profiling, which hadn’t faded even after her previous death during the apocalypse.

As they just reached the main road, a robot wielding two laser sabers walked up, speaking in a T3 tone:

”Sir, robot production has reached full capacity. I’m preparing a reconnaissance plan; do you approve?”

Su Changxing replied calmly: ”Okay, but make sure to operate only near the city.”

Then he asked: ”Did you notice anything unusual at Residential Area No. 4?”

T3 responded immediately: ”No, sir, everything seems normal. I can provide relevant footage for review.”

Su Changxing nodded and said: ”Alright, there’s no rush. I’ll review it if necessary.”

Residential Area No. 4 was nearby, and they arrived in just over ten minutes.

A large crowd had gathered under a building, along with bodies neatly placed on the ground, tucked in bags.

Several elderly gentlemen, over fifty, stood on the outskirts, eagerly discussing.

”The killer was too brutal, killing so many people in a short time.”

”The corridor upstairs is plastered with strange symbols. I think it’s the work of a cult.”

”A cult? In this day and age?”

”Looks like it to me; otherwise, why kill people? And I heard someone saw a person in a black cloak entering early in the morning.”

”Good thing I didn’t run into him; otherwise, I’d have clobbered him barehanded.” One gentleman, wearing a blue coat and with graying hair, waved a corncob in his hand, speaking earnestly.

”······”

Su Changxing quietly walked past, thinking these elderly folks certainly had a knack for boasting.
