Life Dungeon Game

He Ao decisively uncorked the test tube and drank the light green liquid inside in one gulp.

As if swallowing surging sulfuric acid, an intense burning sensation instantly traveled down the throat and invaded He Ao's internal organs.

His body was instantly...

The intense pain caused me to lose control, and I instinctively wanted to twist and curl up.

He Ao forcibly controlled his body with his willpower, pressing his hands on the small table, his fingers curled up, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged like aerial roots of trees emerging from the ground.

After entering the body, the burning sensation quickly spread to the internal organs and then into the gaps between the muscles.

These corrosive forces roamed between muscles and blood vessels, intensely stimulating Roy's body like a rubber band being stretched endlessly until it reached its limit of elastic deformation, until it was stretched thinner and thinner.

This frail body simply could not withstand the pull of this powerful force. Just as his blood vessels and muscles were about to be torn apart by this force, He Ao did not hesitate to detonate the super memory.

A tremendous force surged from the depths of his soul, engulfing Roy's body. His muscles and blood vessels, which were on the verge of breaking, were stabilized, constantly receiving the impact of that external force.

Soon, these muscles and blood vessels gradually adapted to these forces, and the remaining force became surplus and began to dissipate.

Having prior experience in martial arts training, He Ao quickly guided these powers to strengthen his body according to the methods of martial arts training.

Of course, these body-strengthening powers are only a small part in the early stages. After a brief pause, the vast majority of the power from the secret medicine begins to rush towards the body's brain.

Boom——

With a feeling as if a string had snapped, He Ao instantly lost all perception of the outside world.

He could only be sure he was still alive by the constant waves of excruciating pain coursing through his body.

In this long, seemingly eternal silence.

He Ao cleared his mind and began to quietly experience this loneliness that felt like being isolated from the world.

When a person loses all senses, their perception of time also becomes blurred.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the excruciating pain in his body began to gradually subside, and He Ao began to feel a slight coolness from the air seeping into his skin.

In the originally silent and dark vision, a few lights gradually appeared.

Soon, these lights materialized into actual objects.

He Ao deactivated his super memory. Judging from the feedback from his soul, the time just now was very short, probably no more than five seconds.

The physical pain had disappeared, and in the short period of time before and after, his body underwent tremendous changes.

His five senses have all been greatly enhanced.

He could feel the slight breeze as his palm moved across the back of his hand through his skin; he could hear the subtle turning of the hands of a silent mechanical alarm clock outside the sealed room; he could smell subtle odors; and his spatial modeling ability had also improved.

Most importantly, it is his 'eyes'.

He looked around at the guns.

He could 'see' the subtle unevenness between the gun and the latch, and he could 'see' the slight dents and bumps on the seemingly smooth alloy wall.

Is this the power of a 'spectator'?

However, this high-intensity state seemed to last only a very short time, less than a minute, before He Ao felt quite tired.

He closed his eyes and began to try to 'turn off' these enhanced senses.

After some simple adjustments, he turned off most of the enhancements to smell, taste, and touch, leaving only a portion of the 'visual' enhancements.

This reduces the energy consumption significantly, and with He Ao's current soul strength, he can maintain this level of energy consumption for a long time.

In addition to the enhancement of these five senses, Roy's body shape also changed. His somewhat chubby cheeks began to develop angles, his loose fat turned into firm muscles, and his round belly turned into slightly protruding abdominal muscles.

This body's shape can't compare to Rijette's almost perfect fit of human beauty, but it's much better looking than her previous middle-aged, overweight appearance.

He Ao opened the attribute panel.

[He Ao (Roy)]

[Privilege Level: Regular Player]

Physical fitness: 80 (25)

[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Super Memory (Soul Binding) (E-Rank), Basic Firearms Mastery (Soul Part)]

Mechanical modification: None

[Martial Arts: Refining Essence into Qi (Rank E) (Unusable)]

[Character Skill: Talent Sequence 7: Spectator (Rank F)]

Physical fitness increased by 20.

He Ao fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

The 'spectator' ability should primarily enhance the five senses, and its effect on physical fitness should be minimal. He Ao could clearly feel that not much power was flowing to his muscles and internal organs.

The reason why He Ao was able to achieve such a high increase was probably because he absorbed as much energy as possible that flowed to his muscles and internal organs.

After all, he had experience in martial arts training and made the most of his surplus power.

After a brief period of adjustment, He Ao realized that the power of the 'spectator' was similar to hypermemory, except that one was perceived through the physical body, while the other was perceived from a higher dimension.

Drawing on his experience with Super Memory, He Ao's understanding of the audience is rapidly increasing.

He estimated that by midnight tonight at the latest, he would be able to control the power of the onlookers and then take another dose of the secret medicine 'Talent Sequence 29: Mercenary'.

After stabilizing the strength of the 'spectators', He Ao turned his attention to the surrounding weapons.

For someone with 'basic firearms proficiency', seeing these guns is like a lecherous man intruding into a land of women.

······

He Ao spent some time familiarizing himself with all the firearms, and then took a large trench coat that was hanging on the side wall.

Clearly, this trench coat once belonged to Roy's father, who was quite large, so the coat was a bit too big for Heo now.

He took it because the trench coat had several hidden weapon pouches on the inside, and there was even a long slot on the back for storing melee weapons. This slot was specially designed to conceal the melee weapons while being comfortable to wear.

He found a scabbard in the secret room and inserted the short sword into it. The scabbard was a bit long, but it was just enough.

Then He Ao hid the short sword in his trench coat, changed his clothes, put on the trench coat, closed the secret room, and left the apartment.

While he's keeping an eye on the 'spectators,' he can also go to the store to see if there are any other clues.

-

Around six o'clock in the afternoon, after crossing the busy streets, Heo arrived at Roy's Inor restaurant.

Inor is Roy's father's name.

This small restaurant is located in a neighborhood near Hope Tower, one of the most chaotic areas in all of Dawn City.

The restaurant is open from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m., and mainly offers cheap but not very tasty fast food.

"Drug addicts, gangsters, Anxie bitches, oh, and a bunch of self-proclaimed cool idiots who are just being fooled. When have we ever had a normal person in our shop?"

He Ao just pushed open the table

As soon as you enter the lobby, you can hear a cheerful female voice impatiently complaining to the receptionist.

The owner of the voice was a long-time waitress at the restaurant, a voluptuous woman in her twenties with shoulder-length, slightly wavy, reddish-brown hair.

Her name is Naomi.

In fact, Naomi spent more time at the store than Roy.

“Oh, I wasn’t talking about you,” Naomi said, just as Heo walked in. “Roy—a homeless man who inherited a million-dollar fortune—you’re barely a normal person.”

I thought you would drop the "reluctant" part.

He Ao shrugged.

“That’s impossible,” Naomi said, about to turn around, but then stopped abruptly. Her gaze lingered on Heo’s face, her expression full of disbelief. “Roy, did you lose weight? Don’t tell me you have eight-pack abs, or I might want to sleep with you.”

"not yet."

He Ao shook his head.

This is the lifestyle of the lower class in Dawn City: simple and straightforward, with every sentence containing words that have nothing to do with civilization.

"Then you missed a golden opportunity."

Just then, new customers walked in. Naomi shook her head with a hint of regret, holding the order menu as she greeted the newcomers. "This... oh... handsome lady and your little male companion, what would you like to eat?"

Although Naomi has a sharp tongue, she is indeed one of the few reliable people around here.

When Roy first took over the store, the original manager colluded with outside gangs to try and take over the store. It was Naomi who provided information that helped Roy take back the store.

With the help of being a 'spectator,' He Ao carefully observed the shop.

Unfortunately, after walking around, he did not find any details that resembled a mechanism.

Given his current abilities, he can easily spot the mechanism in the family photo.

It seems there is no secret room in the shop.

Roy's father may have simply wanted to leave his son some fixed assets by leaving him this shop.

After all, compared to the millions of dollars in inheritance, this shop is not worth much.

Heo walked around the shop and found no clues. Just as he was about to return to his small office inside, Naomi's loud shout caught his attention.

"Bourne, the burger and sugar-free soda for table number 8!"

“Don’t rush,” a man in a vest and chef’s hat with messy hair poked his head out from the food chute. He slowly brought out a hamburger and a soda, his gaze lingering on Naomi’s ample chest. “If you’re willing to seize the opportunity I’m giving you, then you’ll know that perseverance is an essential quality for a man.”

"If I have the chance, I'll grab your attention and turn them back 180 degrees."

Naomi rolled her eyes, picked up the plate and soda, and said, "Get that lecherous look off me."

"Bourne, you went to Alysser again yesterday?"

Heo walked over and looked at the vacant-eyed Bourne. Elisell was the name of a nearby neighborhood, home to the infamous red-light district of Dawn City. Heo placed his hand on the serving board, watching him with interest. "Didn't you just get an advance on this week's wages?"

Do you need a card?
