Starting with one punch, I'll stop being human.

At this point, the two had only just met, and Sweet Mask knew in his heart that it would be inappropriate for him to offer too much advice.

However, judging from the implication in Han Sen's words, it seemed that there was still room for maneuver in the future, so he suppressed a sense of hope in his heart.

"I understand, I was being presumptuous."

At this moment, Sweet Mask had completely regained his original elegant demeanor. He took out a high-quality gold-embossed business card from the pocket of his beach shirt and handed it over with sincere eyes: "However, Han Sen-kun, this is my personal contact information."

"If you ever need my help in the future, no matter what it is, please be sure to contact me. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"Oh? Is anything needed?"

Han Sen took the gold-embossed business card, which was clearly of high quality and made of durable material. He flicked it lightly with his fingertip, then changed the subject: "If that's the case, Mr. Mask..."

"Could you give me a few front-row VIP tickets to your tour concert tonight? My two friends are big fans of yours and were planning to go see your concert tonight."

Han Sen tilted his head, and Sweet Mask immediately followed his gesture to see Alice and Tifa in the distance, their eyes already sparkling.

He was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Han Sen to make such a simple and down-to-earth request.

However, he quickly regained his composure, and a perfect smile appeared on his handsome and aloof face: "Of course, no problem. I will arrange the best seats immediately, and someone will bring the tickets over shortly."

"That's great, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. It's my honor to be liked by your friends, Han Senjun."

Until he left, Sweet Mask didn't have much interaction with King, only nodding slightly before leaving as a greeting.

The text perfectly illustrates the difference between superficial colleagues and differential treatment.

Han Sen understood that this was only because he recognized King's character and abilities.

If it were an S-class character whom Sweet Mask disliked, he would have already spoken out and ridiculed them to their face.

With a sigh in his heart, Han Sen turned and walked towards the two beach beauties who were so excited about getting VIP tickets to their idol's concert that they were almost fainting. At the same time, he waved goodbye to King and said, "King, I won't keep you tonight. See you tomorrow."

King: "..."

The following morning, in the presidential suite.

Han Sen woke up in a large, soft multi-person bed. Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the dust particles floating in the air shimmered with light and shadow.

He casually brushed aside the delicate, pink arms and slender legs that were still clinging to him like octopuses, and as his strong arms stretched lazily, a series of soft, subtle sounds emanated from his bones.

Last night's concert was exceptionally crazy, and the two hot girls accompanying her were quite exhausted. They are now sleeping soundly, with a satisfied smile even on their delicate faces.

Han Sen, shirtless with only a towel wrapped around his waist, strolled to the edge of the rooftop terrace.

The morning sea breeze ruffled his slightly damp black hair. Below him stretched a vast expanse of blue waves, and on the distant horizon, a red sun struggled to break free from the sea's embrace.

Against this backdrop, Han Sen appears to be the master of this world.

Just then, a surge of air suddenly appeared on the terrace behind Han Sen.

As the shadow swept past, a tall figure, identical in build to him, seemed to materialize out of thin air with the sea breeze, appearing silently there.

Aside from a slight difference in clothing style, he was clearly another Han Sen.

The clone stepped forward and stood familiarly beside Han Sen's main body, gazing together at the magnificent seascape in the distance.

"Dr. Genus's progress is incredibly fast. The mass production experiment of the 'monster cells' is going very smoothly. The culture medium has been preliminarily adjusted, and it is estimated that we can enter the optimized mass production stage soon."

"Also, today's tip from the rich lady has arrived in your account. Remember to check it later."

Han Sen was taken aback, a slight look of surprise on his face: "So fast? How much time has passed?"

Dr. Genus’s incredible efficiency once again surprised Hansen. All in all, it was less than a whole day, and you’re telling me he’s already preparing for mass production?

Han Sen couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he's a top scientist who has mastered core technologies and is many years ahead of the current era!"

If Dr. Genus hadn't appeared too early in the original timeline, with his technological prowess, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to obtain samples of monsters of the same caliber, like the cosmic overlord Orochi, and then modify and create monstrous powerhouses of the same level!

"There's one more thing, something you'll definitely be interested in, sir."

The clone grinned, with a hint of self-satisfaction.

"Heh heh heh..." Han Sen raised an eyebrow, then glanced at his clone with a half-closed eye. "Alright, our perception systems and information sources are completely shared; it's just that I've set up conditional blocking for most of them."

"Speak your mind, don't keep me in suspense."

"Hehe, isn't this just to highlight your distinguished status, sir!"

The clone chuckled twice, casually brewed a steaming cappuccino, and handed it to the main body. It immediately became serious and said, "Just last night, 'we' found the exact location of the Sea People's stronghold in the waters surrounding J City."

"Sea people?"

Chapter 73 SSR+!

"Sea people?"

Han Sen took the coffee handed to him by his clone, intending to take a sip.

Upon hearing this term, his hand movements paused slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his deep eyes.

The race's name might sound unfamiliar, but if you mention their infamous leader, it's a name that will ring a bell.

It is the strongest "King-level" monster with extremely high popularity in the early stages of the original anime, the overlord of the deep sea—

"Deep Sea King"!

He brutally beat up "Sexy Prisoner" and crushed Gon in the early stages. This guy's performance and sense of oppression are no less than those of a Dragon-level monster.

Han Sen had little interest in the Deep Sea King himself, but he was very interested in the Sea People race that it ruled!

Over the past three months, the scattered shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the sea people have also been a part of Han Sen's Origin Point supply chain.

The ocean is far more vast than the land, and naturally, the variety and number of strange beings it breeds are countless.

Unfortunately, most of these seafood products are scattered in various corners of the sea. Han Sen's clones are not very efficient each time they go out to sea to hunt. Most of the fish and shrimp they catch are small, insignificant wolf-level and tiger-level fish and shrimp, and they have never been able to reach the core group.

Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in J City, I received such good news about a stock market boom.

At this point in his thoughts, Han Sen and his clone exchanged a glance, as if they had discovered a key point, and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

"So... King's special physiology allows him to indirectly pinpoint the coordinates of large-scale monster spawn points in the deep sea?"

"The innate monster-attracting holy body is terrifyingly powerful!!"

(King, who has already started his day of training: Achoo! Damn it, what dirty thing keeps staring at me!!)

凸(｀△'＋)

Without hesitation, Han Sen attributed the discovery of the Seafolk's stronghold to King, downed his coffee in one gulp, and said energetically, "Alright, you can continue with the plan."

"I'll pay a visit to the Seafolk in person after I finish what I'm doing."

"Got it, sir."

Han Sen's clone grinned, and his arm suddenly wriggled as if alive, its surface stained with a pure black color.

Then it expanded and deformed, and with a "poof," a bulging, large bag emerged from the mutated arm.

"Then I'll head out first!"

Before he finished speaking, the clone transformed into an inconspicuous black shadow that moved with incredible speed and disappeared without a trace.

Han Sen's eyes flashed with a blue light. The large bag on the terrace, which was still pulsating slightly, was wrapped in his hands by telekinesis. He tore open the bag and a large bag full of "monster cells" immediately came into view.

Summoning the system panel and glancing at his Origin Points balance, Han Sen raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his lips: "Including today's generous tip from the rich lady, your Origin Points have actually reached nearly 30?"

"In that case, let's have some appetizers before lunch."

[Original Point: 271039]

With thousands of "monster cells" being refined in an instant, Han Sen's Origin Point account balance on his panel experienced another surge.

At this point, the amount is sufficient to max out the SSR-level ability from Lv9 to Lv10.

Considering that this ability upgrade might cause quite a stir, it naturally cannot be done in the hotel.

So Han Sen changed into a fitted tracksuit that was easy to move in and then quietly left alone.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to leave two thick stacks of 10,000 yuan bills on each side of the bedside table on the messy bed in the presidential suite as a nutrition fee.

After all, they worked hard all night, so it's only right that they eat something good to nourish themselves.

At full speed, Han Sen's figure cleaved through a long trail of white waves on the vast blue sea, and soon arrived at a remote, deserted island dozens of kilometers away from the coastline.

Since copying the SSR-level ability "Swift Wind", he has gained a basic grasp of the ability to stay airborne and fly.

Nowadays, he is becoming more and more adept at using the power of wind. With his maxed-out SR-level "Psychokinesis", supersonic flight is no longer a problem for him, and he can do it with ease.

Han Sen chose to settle on a small, deserted island. The island was not large, and you could see the end of it at a glance.

Apart from tenacious mosses and seaweed, there is almost no large-scale vegetation system.

The only advantage is that it is far from populated areas and will be completely undisturbed, making it perfect for his upcoming big move.

With his feet firmly planted on the solid ground of the deserted island, Han Sen immediately brought up the system panel.

As he focused his mind, the numbers in his Origin Point account plummeted rapidly, like a floodgate being opened!

"System, give me some points!!"

"The 'Scorching Bomb' has been upgraded!"

[Consuming 256000 Origin Points, "Scorching Bullet (SSR)" level increased! Lv9->Lv10 (MAX)!]

[Ding! The copying ability "Scorching Bomb (SSR)" has reached its maximum level, merged into the user, and removed from the ability slot!]

[Currently occupied capacity bits: 10/20.]

[Ding! Detected that "Overgrown Pochi" has reached max level in all abilities! Bonus: 100% proficiency, breaking through current limits! SSR->SSR+!]

[Ding! The new "Proficiency System" feature has been unlocked!]

[Ding! The new feature "Ability Fusion" has been unlocked!]

【"Proficiency System": Max-level inherent abilities can increase proficiency. Once proficiency reaches 100%, it can surpass the limit, greatly enhancing the ability's effect, for example—SSR->SSR+.】

[“Ability Fusion”: Multiple transcendent abilities can be fused together. A successful fusion will greatly enhance the effects of the original abilities and has a certain probability of increasing the rarity and quality of the new ability after fusion!]

[Ding! Your current innate ability proficiency level has been updated. Please check it promptly.]

A series of rapid system notifications rang in his mind. Han Sen glanced at the description of the newly unlocked function, and then his whole body was swept up by a terrifying surge of energy that suddenly erupted within him!

This energy surge far exceeded any previous upgrade, to the point that he almost couldn't suppress the transformation into human form!

At the same time, the originally damp ground of this barren island underfoot dried up completely in an instant, and the moss, algae and other tiny vegetation covering it quickly turned black and carbonized under the unimaginable high temperature, falling off into ash!

Even the seawater surrounding the deserted island was evaporating massive amounts of thick white vapor at a visible rate, and the nearshore waters were even boiling and churning, forming a death zone sealed off by extreme heat!

Large numbers of passing fish didn't even have a chance to react before they were boiled alive by the sudden, surging current, their eyes rolling back in their heads, and they died on the spot!

Chapter 74 Version Update

Pochi's power stems more from his extremely strong physique and abnormal defense. In terms of precise energy manipulation, he is not particularly outstanding among the top Dragon-level monsters.

It is more accustomed to using its unfathomable energy reserves to launch devastating area attacks.

Taking advantage of his long mana bar, Pochi's fighting philosophy is to unleash a barrage of attacks.

This resulted in Han Sen being unable to perfectly suppress the sudden surge of energy and terrifying heat impact the moment he upgraded "Scorching Bomb" to its maximum level.

A massive amount of water vapor instantly evaporated, forming a huge white column of air that stretched from the sea to the sky. The high temperature distorted the air, and countless fish carcasses, which had been cooked directly, floated on the sea surface in an instant!

Within the thick fog formed by the high-temperature steam, Han Sen's figure appeared and disappeared, like a deity.

As time passed, the white column of steam connecting heaven and earth gradually thinned and dissipated, and the violently boiling sea surface slowly calmed down.

However, the unfortunate deserted island, under the continuous scorching heat of the previous intense heat, had become charred and brittle, cracked in many places.

With the gentle impact of the waves, large and small pieces kept breaking off, as if they might sink completely to the bottom of the sea at any moment.

Han Sen remained standing still, as immovable as a mountain.

The terrifying heat that had been surging through his body like a volcanic furnace had gradually subsided, and the once boiling seawater around him had gradually returned to its usual coolness.

He exhaled a long, hot breath, dispersing the last wisp of mist in front of him. Han Sen's eyes gleamed with undisguised surprise and satisfaction.

"The increase in overall physical strength is simply terrifying! It far surpasses any previous simple attribute point enhancement!"

After careful consideration, he quickly came to terms with it.

With all of Pochi's abilities maxed out, he was essentially a humanoid beast that perfectly inherited all of Pochi's terrifying stats.
