Physical fitness 4...

This was the lowest physical condition He Ao had ever seen, even worse than Roy, who had been a homeless man for several years and indulged in alcohol and women.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. At 44, he had been working long hours, traveling for work, staying up late, and having an irregular schedule. He was also burdened with the psychological pressure of huge loans, the deaths of his father and wife, and his own job loss, leaving him with no job prospects.

In this state, it is indeed difficult to have a good body.

No wonder I get tired so easily.

He tried breathing in the energy in the air, but found that Pete's body circuits were almost completely blocked, making it impossible for him to absorb energy normally.

Clearly, Pete wasn't the type of person with martial arts talent.

That makes sense, though. If he had martial arts talent, he could convert some energy even with ordinary breathing, and his physical condition wouldn't be so poor.

It seems we still need to find a way to get some talent sequences.

He Ao closed the personal attributes page and opened the character card interface.

Currently, there are only those three character cards in the character card interface.

After He Ao redeemed the [King of the Night], the card's face was covered with a light purple, while the other two cards were a hazy gray.

He Ao's gaze fell upon the King of the Night.

The card slowly floated out from among the three cards and moved in front of He Ao. At the same time, a new pop-up notification appeared.

[Do you wish to exchange one Exchange Star for one day of use of 'King of the Night'? (You currently have 1 Exchange Star available)]

······

Even after redeeming the card, do I still have to pay a price for using it?

He Ao remained silent for a moment.

His gaze shifted to the three words 'Exchange Star'.

If he remembered correctly, the source of this 'exchange star' was explained during the system upgrade.

His only exchange star came from the S-rank rating he earned from completing upgrade tasks.

From this perspective, this exchange

The change of star rating is directly related to the overall evaluation.

In addition, the current evaluation system has changed from S rating to star rating.

Does this mean that rating stars earned from subsequent task evaluations can be directly converted into exchange stars?

After the task evaluation system was upgraded, it was also suggested that the evaluation had other uses; explore them on your own.

The 'ingenious use' here refers to its ability to be used to exchange for character card usage time?

No, perhaps it can be used for more than just exchanging usage time.

He focused his gaze on the card on the left, which symbolized Joey: the [Primal Fire].

A pop-up window appeared quickly.

[Would you like to pay 3 Exchange Stars to exchange for 'Primal Flame'? (You currently have 1 Exchange Stars available)]

As expected, the exchange of character cards is also calculated based on the exchange stars.

However, different character cards may have different requirements.

He then shifted his gaze to the symbol of Nell, the "Usurper," but this time no pop-up window appeared.

It seems that some conditions have not been met, and the "Usurper" remains in a state where it cannot be redeemed.

I don't know what this requirement is.

The problem with the system is that it is too rudimentary, offering no hints whatsoever, requiring users to explore on their own.

It looks like the programmer just threw together a framework and pretended it was the complete version.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and stared at the [King of the Night] before him. In the end, he did not choose to directly redeem the card's usage time.

If the card works as he expects, then he only has one chance now, which he should use at the most crucial moment.

After exiting the character card interface, He Ao looked ahead.

The previously congested traffic has gradually eased, and taxis are driving forward at a leisurely pace.

They passed a spot where the guardrail had been damaged, which appeared to be the location of a recent car accident.

A trail of blood, yet to be cleaned up, stretched along the road to the damaged guardrail, appearing somewhat eerie under the dim streetlights.

"Sigh," the driver glanced at the bloodstain, then quickly looked away, "Life is getting harder and harder."

He Ao turned to look out the window. One by one, homeless people were in tents by the roadside, staring blankly and bewildered at the surrounding vehicles.

"I never know when I might join them,"

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and sighed, "The company has already cut salaries several times, but the bank interest rates can't be reduced by a penny. Now, after paying off my mortgage and credit card every month, I don't even have enough money left to buy a loaf of bread."

"Ugh."

He glanced at He Ao, who had already turned around, sighed, and continued driving quietly.

At that moment, He Ao's attention was not on the driver's words.

Just now, he felt a kind of soul throbbing, a 'throbbing' from super memory.

It seems that one of the people he 'marked' is doing something.

This was the first time he had used the marking ability, and he hadn't expected it to have such a function.

Without activating his super memory, he cannot use the super memory's 'listening' and 'thinking' abilities. Since the super memory's activation time is very short, the continuous listening ability of 'listening' is actually only effective for a short period of time.

Just as He Aoyi

When 'listening' might not be effective, I unexpectedly felt this stirring of emotion.

He calmed himself down and activated his hyper-memory.

He currently only has two people marked: the doctor who tried to perform 'surgery' on him, and Reed, the director of the research institute.

-

The office is decorated in an elegant style.

“Mr. Reed, this is the publicly available information about that ‘Pat’.”

The officer handed Reed the e-reader tablet. "Pete, 44 years old, widowed, both parents deceased, graduated from Dawn University, has a daughter in high school at Elland Private School, lost his job six months ago, and is still paying off a mortgage."

"Let me see."

Reed took the e-reader tablet and quickly flipped through the pages.

"Judging from the information alone, he seems like an ordinary company employee,"

The officer said slowly, "His former employer, JL Consulting, is a consulting firm that specializes in providing services to small businesses, and he has no work experience related to the medical industry."

"Not finding it doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist."

Reed placed the tablet on the table and fell into a brief moment of thought. "An ordinary, unemployed man in his forties could easily kill a C-level powerhouse like Mano?"

"Yes."

The officer nodded slightly. "Thinking about it that way, it's definitely not right."

Reed leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

"Perhaps this ordinary employee identity is just a cover for him. He is secretly a member of some underground organization. His unemployment is not unemployment, but rather a resignation from the disguised job in order to fully carry out some mission."

He pondered for a moment, "So, what should this task be?"

Just then, the previously closed conference room door was slowly and silently pushed open, and a figure completely shrouded in a black hood slowly walked in.

The figure was tall and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

But he moved very lightly and made no sound.

Neither Reed nor the officer noticed him until he reached the officer's side.

"Is everything ready?"

A hoarse voice rang in Reed's ears as he was deep in thought.

Reed suddenly realized what was happening and sat up in alarm. He looked up at the figure shrouded in a black hood, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Of course I'm ready."

He reached under the desk, pulled out a small square briefcase, and placed it in front of the hooded figure.

"it is good."

A emaciated, grotesque hand, seemingly nothing but skin and bones, emerged from under the hood and grabbed the handle of the suitcase.

"Wait a moment,"

As if afraid he would disappear at any moment, Reed quickly pulled out an identical briefcase from under the table and placed it on the table. "Help me kill someone else. This is the deposit, and there will be another one after it's done."

"That person," a hoarse voice came from under the hood, "is very strong?"

"He killed Mano in two moves."

"Reed said slowly."

“Interesting. I enjoy killing strong people,” a smile seemed to appear from beneath the black hood. “It sounds intriguing.”

Reid's face lit up with joy.

But then, the shadowy figure changed the subject, "However, this is not..."

enough."

Reid was taken aback. "Didn't you say you liked killing strong people?"

"That's a hobby, but a hobby is a hobby, and work is work."

The shadow beneath the hood calmly said, "I'm a person who keeps public and private matters separate. I won't take action unless you give me enough money."

······

Reed's face darkened. "Then add another one."

"make a deal."
