Chapter 59 - 48: Night Raid
Chapter 59: Chapter 48: Night Raid"It seems there are experts at this auction. The Whale Terrarium also wants to get involved."
Ji Minghuan sat in the exhibition room of the lighthouse, tilting his head, quietly watching the colossal whale, akin to a battleship, disappearing over the sea surface.
Though he was curious about what this so-called "Whale Terrarium" looked like, he knew following Li Qingping into the whale’s belly would be equivalent to courting death.
So, he could only silently watch his close friend depart. In fact, the word "watch" seemed too grand for him—he was merely a stalker peering from the shadows.
He truly wondered how Li Qingping would react if he knew his close friend had secretly followed him all the way.
Waves swept over the beach, and the sea, lit by the
Gu Zhuo Case extinguished his cigarette, tossed it in the ashtray, then placed the plastic bag with scallion ribs on the table.
The three of them shared a silent dinner, not saying much at the table, each minding their own plate.
After dinner, Ji Minghuan brushed his teeth in the second-floor bathroom and returned to his room, using the restraint belt to close the door, then lay on the bed and opened the system panel, quickly and efficiently allocating the recently acquired attribute points and skill points.
[Primary game character ’Black Cocoon’s’ ’Strength’ attribute changed: C++ grade→B grade]
[Consumed ’1’ skill point, successfully acquired branch skill ’Li’s’ skill—’Superpower Stealing’ (after you bind a superpower user with the restraint belt, you can temporarily steal and store their ability, which will disappear after one use) (stolen superpowers only have 50% efficacy, and power is determined by ’Black Cocoon’s’ attributes) (maximum storage time: 24 hours)]
[Next skill in the ’Li’ branch is now available for learning: ’Capacity Enhancement.’]
By the end of the day, Ji Minghuan was truly exhausted, having been awakened by his mentor after barely any afternoon sleep, his fatigue was undeniable.
He turned off the light, and soon his eyelids drooped down.
He entered his dreams.
Meanwhile, on this night, the silent confinement room once again welcomed the mentor’s inspection.
However... strangely enough, this time the mentor did not arrive as usual.
Instead, they opened the metal door of the confinement room in the quietest manner possible and, step by step, silently approached the sleeping Ji Minghuan in the pitch-black darkness.
