Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 68: Mysteriousness Increase

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Mysteriousness Increase
Huang Biao’s face flashed with surprise as he silently looked at Su Changxing: "Should I count the number of people first? It’s almost dawn; you can go and rest a bit."
"Hmm."
Su Changxing nodded, seeing Qin Jue Ming clutching his arm, staggering over, with blood trickling down from his tattered sleeve, dripping onto the ground.
He walked up to Su Changxing, his eyes bloodshot, saying seriously: "Thanks, I apologize for my earlier behavior."
Although it was uncertain if he was sincere, this action was still quite genuine.
Su Changxing looked at his bedraggled appearance and said: "There’s probably no need to apologize. You should worry about yourself first; with your current injuries, you may not be able to make it."
"Let’s see what fate has in store." Qin Jue Ming took a deep breath, "I am quite a believer in fate. Those who are meant to survive will, and those who are not won’t succeed despite their struggles."
"Very sensible," Su Changxing nodded: "But I don’t quite agree; hopefully, the heavens allow you to live."
Having said that, he turned and walked down the corridor, his groggy mind constantly reminding him he needed sleep.
This should also be the downside of being a Dreamer, a rigid requirement for a certain amount of sleep, whereas for other extraordinaries, the required sleep time each day shouldn’t be long, since their physical functions are enhanced.
Walking into the corridor, Su Changxing remembered that Zhu Wenwu was still in the room; he should still be alive.
Then he heard noise coming from the room ahead, and upon walking in, he saw it was indeed Zhu Wenwu.
Zhu Wenwu leaned against the corner, a relieved expression on his face as he looked at Su Changxing and said: "Brother, I actually survived, didn’t die, my luck is pretty good."
Just moments ago, death was only a step away from him; if Huang Biao and the others had come down a bit later, he would have certainly died.
Su Changxing agreed: "Your luck really is good. Can you still stand up now?"
He felt Zhu Wenwu likely wasn’t too severely injured.
"Zhu Wenwu, are you alright?"
A tender female voice came from behind.
Zhu Xin Xue hurriedly darted past Su Changxing to check on Zhu Wenwu’s condition.
Zhu Wenwu stood up with Zhu Xin Xue’s support, touched the back of his head, and said doubtfully: "No big problem, just feeling a bit weak all over. I couldn’t stand up just now, but suddenly I can."
Zhu Xin Xue pursed her lips, thinking aloud: "I guess you were just scared."
Seeing that Zhu Wenwu was alright, she completely relaxed, turned to Su Changxing, and said worshipfully: "Wow, Brother Su, you’re amazing. You just easily took care of those two maniacs; you ran as if you were flying, like characters seen in movies."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said: "Not particularly amazing, I’d say just average."
Saying this, he walked out of the room.
Zhu Xin Xue followed, still speaking: "It felt just like watching a movie. Brother Su, do you know martial arts? Are you some kind of descendant from Wudang Mountain or Dragon Tiger Mountain? I’ve heard before that there are skillful Daoists on the mountains who can leap from rooftop to rooftop; I didn’t know it was true."
"Years ago, I wanted to go up the mountain to apprentice and learn skills, but my parents wouldn’t let me, saying that girls should be quiet. Hah, I think they’re raising my brother like a girl too, scared stiff at the smallest things······"
Su Changxing listened as Zhu Xin Xue babbled on, surprisingly realizing how talkative the young girl was, then interrupted: "Hmm, you can directly state your purpose."
Zhu Xin Xue blinked and said: "I want to apprentice under you and learn martial arts."
She said it while clenching her fists, mimicking a fighting stance.
"But I don’t know martial arts," Su Changxing turned his head towards Zhu Xin Xue, saying: "And I don’t know how to teach; my physical fitness might just be a bit better."
Zhu Xin Xue raised her eyebrows: "A bit?"
Su Changxing bent down, picked up a deep blue crystal from the masked man, and affirmed: "Okay, perhaps a lot better, so I have no way to teach you."
Zhu Xin Xue walked from the right to Su Changxing’s left and said: "But I feel I have some potential; wasting it would be a shame."
Su Changxing smiled: "Potential, what potential? Naturally smooth-flowing Eight Extraordinary Meridians?"
"I can prove my potential."
Zhu Xin Xue’s eyes glowed faintly blue as she kicked towards a corpse in the corridor, sending it flying far away, crashing against the opposite wall.
Su Changxing was somewhat surprised; Zhu Xin Xue exerted power inconsistent with her frame, then he realized it should be a superpower, a power-enhancing ability.
"This certainly counts as potential, but I still can’t teach you. Goodnight, I’m going to sleep."
Su Changxing stepped into the room, turned, and spoke without waiting for Zhu Xin Xue’s reply before closing the door.
Zhu Xin Xue pouted, staring at the closed door in dissatisfaction, but then remembered something and showed a sly smile.
The corridor was heavily tainted with the scent of blood, while this room lacked the smell of blood since no one died here.
Su Changxing laid out the sleeping bag on the floor, sat on it, took out his phone, and checked the pathway log.
[Maintain good spirit, +1 Mysteriousness]
[Maintain good spirit, +1 Mysteriousness]
[Murder in a dream, +40 Mysteriousness]
[Murder in a dream, +30 Mysteriousness]
[Feeling sleepy due to fatigue, -1 Mysteriousness]
[Mysteriousness: 133/500]
"Because of using the Dreamer’s ability, it makes me feel fatigued quickly, perhaps this is also considered a cost?"
Su Changxing gained some insight, understanding that Extraordinary also follows some conservation laws.
Viewing the character attributes.
Name: Su Changxing
Power: 4.9+0.6 (Far above ordinary human)
Speed: 5.6+0.6 (Extraordinary)
Physique: 3.7+0.6 (Far stronger than ordinary human)
Perception: 1+0.6 (Beast-level perception)
Spirit: 5+1.2 (Extraordinary)
Position: Tier Nine Dreamer (Upper Rank) Compatibility 80%
Evaluation: As your compatibility with the position increases, you will become ever stronger, comprehensively. Of course, you are still just trash right now, unnoticed even if crushed into dust.
With a rise in Mysteriousness, the bonus from the position correspondingly enhances further.
"So, the Dreamer’s ability will also improve with a rise in Mysteriousness."
Su Changxing judged, sensing that Mysteriousness greatly influences his combat power; 100 Mysteriousness brings a one-fifth enhancement, while 500 brings a double enhancement.
Currently, the fastest way to boost Mysteriousness is using the Dreamer’s ability, committing murder in dreams, but this method yields diminishing Mysteriousness as the frequency increases.
Hence, finding other effective ways to gain Mysteriousness is crucial.
Subsequently, he spent three thousand points to unlock Deep Analysis of the pathway position, which should help boost Mysteriousness faster.
