Quiet alley, in the bedroom.
Xiao Xiao carefully understood the three routes mentioned by Yang Jia. The strong person route is to use violent factors to continuously improve one's physical fitness. Now, he has only used the lowest level of violent factors to strengthen his body, and he has already obtained With extremely excellent physical fitness, when he is nervous, he can even explode with some powerful strength beyond his own limit. So, what will happen to the advanced version?
Become a superman-like being, even fearless of bullets?
The hunter route is an enhanced path that is more focused on hunting and hiding. The shadow of Xiao Si has already appeared in Xiao Xiao's heart.
This person who seems to be able to appear anywhere at any time, and who has extremely outstanding skills, should be the most standard performance of the hunter route.
As for the clairvoyant, is it an advanced level of extreme sensitivity?
Because you are sensitive enough, you can always detect the malice disguised by others?
And this sensitivity improved step by step, and developed into some kind of insight that can see all kinds of subtle traces?
I have to say that when I thought about this kind of ability that was different from ordinary people, Xiao Xiao, who had seen the weirdness of this city many times, was indeed very excited.
When people feel insecure, they always crave strength.
However, among the three routes mentioned by Yang Jia, there is no collector route.
But if you think about it, you will understand that other strengthening routes are mostly focused on improving one's own strength, while the Collector route is similar to using foreign objects.
The reason why Strangers cannot carry out multiple strengthening routes at the same time is because each strengthening route will put a huge burden on one's spirit, so it is difficult to be compatible between the two routes.
However, the collector route can be carried out at the same time as any route.
In other words, even if I already have three strengthened vicious dogs, it still doesn't affect my choice of a path that suits me.
What's more, with only three evil dogs that are strengthened at once, it is still far from being considered a collector's route.
From Yang Jia's words, we can know that it is very common for strangers to have one or several special items in their hands for self-defense.
After analyzing these, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but start to consider what was suitable for him.
What am I missing?
Everything is lacking, and facing this huge and twisted world, there is almost no ability to protect oneself.
So, what do I lack most so far?
A more powerful force?
I have already used the most basic violence factor to strengthen myself. So, it would be logical to exchange for the intermediate violence factor and take the route of a strong person. It seems to be a good choice?
Xiao Xiao, who was deep in thought, didn't even realize that night was falling. He just vaguely felt that the strong man route seemed to be his choice.
Until the sound of the TV rang in the living room outside, and an obviously somewhat plastic Mandarin voice asked: "Are you good at fighting?"
"Is there any use in spanking?"
"To come out to hang out, you must have power and background..."
"..."
"?"
Xiao Xiao, who was thinking about violence, suddenly felt like he was being scolded.
He pushed open the bedroom door and walked out, and saw his mother sitting in the living room, cracking melon seeds and watching TV. When she saw him coming out, she was obviously surprised and said with a smile:
"So you are here, I thought you hadn't come back yet..."
"Have you eaten yet? What do you want to eat? Mom will make some for you."
"..."
"No, I've eaten."
Xiao Xiao shook his head and glanced at the TV. There was a handsome and ruffian face on it, talking arrogantly to the little brat in front of him, which made him feel even weirder:
"How old are you to still watch movies like this?"
"..."
"Hey, I have nothing to do. These old movies are quite good."
Mom picked up the remote control, lowered the volume a little, and said with a smile, "Besides, people say my son looks like him."
"It's not very similar."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the TV and thought: "At most 99%..."
Shaking his head to get rid of this strange feeling, Xiao Xiao returned to the bedroom and started thinking again.
"Spanking is useless..."
I don’t know why, but this sentence is a bit magical and lingers in my mind.
He was originally very interested in the strongman route, but after being so upset, he suddenly lost interest. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to give it more consideration first.
Now, my understanding of the world is still too shallow, and such an important decision cannot be made just on the head.
Anyway, at present, I not only have low-level violent factors to improve my physical fitness, but also have three strengthened vicious dogs to help me. Some simple aberrant creatures can no longer threaten me.
Compared with the choice of route, there are some more important things that need to be considered.
The accidental prostitution of three house-breaking dogs gave him the strongest protection at present, but because of this, Xiao Xiao began to feel excited:
Is it possible that the old record player that always plays weird music and the butcher in the butcher shop at the intersection can also be enhanced into special items?
And the vicious dog that only exchanges for 30 gold coins, after being strengthened, has the ability to face the core of the Swamp of Despair head-on. What about the two more expensive ones?
Old record player: 50 points
The reclusive butcher: 100 points
…
This price is no longer a burden for me now.
If both of these could be enhanced into special items, wouldn't he make a lot of money?
Xiao Xiao felt excited, but felt that it was impossible.
To put it bluntly, if you find one of such special existences, you will make a lot of money. If you find three of them at once...
...Then how unlucky must he be to have been living among these monsters for so many years?
The other point is that Xiao Xiao deeply realizes that for his current self, is the greatest protection really these weird and grotesque strengthening elements?
No, it's my own illness.
The panic that had plagued him for four years had become his most valuable asset after he learned to focus and control his attention. Xiao Xiao found that he had become more and more skilled in using the sense of time stasis brought about by panic. While solving the problem, when facing the swamp of despair, he also discovered that this ability of thinking explosion seemed to be very effective in diluting the impact of painful substances on himself.
So, what can bring you the greatest sense of security is to tap into this ability?
In the past, I was very afraid of this problem.
After all, I have been tortured for four years. After all, until now, I am still deeply trapped in this panic and torture.
Four years ago, Xiao Xiao asked his parents for help, but at that time, their relationship broke down and they didn't believe in him at all, and no one cared about him. Later, Xiao Xiao got used to it.
Since the doctor and parents say that I am not sick, I should just pretend that I am not sick and be cured.
Trying to adapt, forcing yourself to learn to remain calm and normal despite panic and torture, isn't it just to prove that you are not sick, as they hope?
Therefore, of course I am normal, and the doctors have said that I am not sick.
I just learned to adapt to some things early on, and now, the problem may be...
...What kind of choice can we better adapt to or even make use of this thing?
…
…
That night, Xiao Xiao fell asleep while thinking about it. When he got up the next day, he took the subway to the pier to work as usual.
Unexpectedly, when they saw him coming, the foreman and other workers suddenly looked surprised. Just when Xiao Xiao was curious, the foreman came over and said, "Are you okay?"
"What's up?"
Xiao Xiao was a little confused and looked at the foreman suspiciously.
"Did something happen to the place where you delivered the goods yesterday?"
The foreman looked Xiao Xiao up and down: "Both Lao Zhang and Lao Li are hospitalized. It is said that some madman planted a bomb in that block."
"Although it was finally dismantled, everyone around was frightened at the time. Many people were killed and injured in the collision. It seemed that two poor women were shot dead while taking the opportunity."
"No, those two guys have taken leave today. I have been worried about you. There has been no movement from yesterday to now."
"..."
"bomb?"
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised. It seemed that they didn't know anything about the Swamp of Despair, but instead thought that there was really a bomb.
Is this done deliberately, or has the city distorted their memories?
This made him a little curious, but he didn't ask in detail. He just said casually: "I was lucky enough to leave early, so nothing happened."
"so far so good……"
The foreman breathed a long sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "It's just the two of them. If something happens to you, it will be really troublesome."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Xiao came to his senses.
When the dock workers went out for relocation, there were records. The two workers were injured, which were work-related injuries and could be reimbursed, but I had to change jobs temporarily.
If something goes wrong, you need to be responsible for it.
For the foreman, the fact that nothing happened to him meant that he had unintentionally avoided a big trouble.
"You have a good rest today, and I will arrange some easy work for you..."
It was obvious that the foreman was in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he arranged for Xiao Xiao to help him keep an eye on the registration in the warehouse. He also cursed nonchalantly:
"Those two assholes don't make people worry. I have to visit them today. The truck hasn't even come back yet. I don't know how much parking fees I'll have to pay after this night..."
"..."
"That's too much..."
After a while, Xiao Xiao sat in front of the warehouse door, blowing on the fan, crossing his legs, and looked enviously at the workers who were preparing to do heavy work.
I originally wanted to continue to train myself, but the foreman deprived me of the right to work without even asking.
However, it’s good to have a salary. The most important thing for me now is indeed not exercising.
Thinking about it, he simply took a cargo registration form and began to list what he was good at and what he lacked, and analyzed it carefully.
