Community Traversal: I Have a Daily Rescue Kit

Chapter 60: Career Advancement, Beautiful Young Woman

Chapter 61: Career Advancement, Beautiful Young Woman

Su Chen clenched his fist, still somewhat wary.

The last time he switched to the Demon Hunter class, the pain was so intense that his whole body almost cramped up. Hopefully, it won't be too bad this time.

[The current monster is ready. Do you want to view its origin story?]

"There's more to this story?"

Su Chen frowned and selected "Yes".

From the memories of the Witcher, he knew that each Witcher chose a different monster when advancing, and the extent of the improvement was also different.

Even more outrageous is that after advancing in the Witcher profession, the Witcher's mutated power can resonate with the power of monsters, and through a special ritual, the essence of monsters as living beings can be woven into their own bloodline, thereby gaining their abilities.

However, this power often requires the Witcher to bear the corresponding mental or physical costs.

The origin story is about the origin of a monster and highlights its abilities, so that people can make judgments and act according to their own capabilities.

Select, search, hunt, absorb.

This is a normal progression stage for a Witcher.

But the Career Advancement Card is different.

When Su Chen was upgrading his Demon Hunter skill, he needed to absorb a pure monster. The job upgrade card eliminated this process, so he didn't have to suffer the mental impact and cost. It was like taking advantage of a loophole.

"View the origin story."

Although he didn't have to bear the cost of absorbing monsters, Su Chen still carefully examined the information about the monsters that would be closely connected to him in the future.

【Origin Story: The Mirror Image】

[Mirror Image: Legend has it that everyone who has looked in a mirror leaves a shadow in the mirror world. This shadow represents their unspoken desires, hidden malice, or repressed personality traits—those that were swallowed by the mirror.]

[When someone stares at their reflection in a mirror for an extended period of time, the shadow spirit hidden within the mirror may awaken and attempt to take over the original body.]

[Compatible with the Witcher class; upon fusion, it will combine with the Witcher's power to create new effects.]

[Basic Skills:]

[1: The Witcher steps onto any reflective surface (mirror, puddle, metal, glass...)

.）】

[2: By fusing with the power of the mirror spirit, one can instantly teleport to another reflective body within their field of vision. (Current limitation after fusion: Teleportation distance cannot exceed 500 meters. If the target mirror is obscured/broken, the teleportation will fail and cause a mental backlash.)]

[Advanced Abilities:]

[1: You can stay briefly within the Mirror Realm (current maximum stay: 10 seconds). Within the Mirror Realm, you can observe the real world undetected.]

[2: Can achieve consciousness synchronization with one's own mirror image spirit, gaining the following passive abilities]

[State of Consciousness Synchronization:]

Perception increased by 200% at night or in the shadows.

Natural resistance to illusions and charms +80%

[While asleep, you can use the power of the Shadow Spirit to keep watch. In this state of alert, your main body enters a state of high-efficiency recovery.]

[Can attack another person's shadow. After attacking another person's shadow, some of the damage received by the shadow will be transferred to the shadow's owner's main body.]

"Is this the perfect monster for me? Brilliant!"

"It truly is a divine card!"

Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

No wonder Lin Yu fought fiercely with the woman knocking on the door, even resorting to using some rare items. Such an exaggerated effect is indeed exceptionally valuable. It not only increases the level of one's profession, but also, like the profession upgrade card used by Su Chen, the mirror spirit that he was matched with has an extremely abnormal effect, and he doesn't even have to bear the cost of fusing with the mirror spirit.

If this were a fantasy novel, what difference would there be between him and someone who has achieved perfect Foundation Establishment?!

The first time I upgraded the Demon Hunter's class level, the monster was perfectly matched. This single card was worth the effort Su Chen had put into unleashing his weapons.

That's insane!

[Monster fusion detected, experience points 100/100. Do you wish to complete job advancement now?]

Su Chen gritted his teeth and took out a bottle of wine that he had previously put away from the cabinet. This time, having learned from experience, it shouldn't hurt as much as last time, making him grimace in pain.

After gulping down more than half a bottle of whiskey, Su Chen's mouth was filled with the aroma of chestnuts and sherry casks: "Yes!"

As Su Chen's voice faded.

The next moment, veins bulged on his forehead, and Su Chen slumped into the ghost sofa, as if he were about to lose all his strength.

It was nighttime, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and there was some noise in the neighborhood, but he couldn't hear or care about any of it now.

Su Chen's arms and legs were taut, veins bulging, blood vessels standing erect on the surface of his skin, undergoing violent changes in response to the beam of light.

"Damn it, how can it hurt so much?"

Muttering curses, Su Chen downed two more mouthfuls of whiskey, letting those domineering and terrifying forces penetrate his limbs and bones.

Although the process of absorbing monsters is eliminated, and the costs of fusion are also eliminated, the pain and process of job advancement are not reduced at all.

Faintly, Su Chen could even feel as if he was being torn apart by that power. Fortunately, the healing effect of the original energy was still there. Su Chen hurriedly mobilized that power to calm down the chaotic power in his body a little.

Sweat soaked through Su Chen's clothes, and at the same time, the job change was completed.

"I feel like my power has become a bit abnormal again."

Su Chen stood up from the cluster of ghost sofas. The sofas that he could lift with one hand before were now ridiculously light.

Su Chen took out the triangular military dagger from the broken wardrobe and exerted a little force.

Sizzle 1

The sharp sound that rang out as metal tore through the air at an extremely high speed was exceptionally clear.

He could feel that he had received a comprehensive enhancement since he first became a Witcher.

With his sight, hearing, and the faint aroma of rice being cooked in some unknown household in the building, Su Chen's facial features all seemed to have improved considerably!

Su Chen was standing in his room on the 20th floor, and he could even hear a resident in a distant building excitedly counting their supplies.

and..

Picking up the triangular bayonet, Su Chen hesitated for a moment, but then steeled himself and slashed his left arm.

The sharp triangular bayonet pierced through the skin, leaving a bloody gash on Su Chen's skin. With the activation and coverage of his primal energy, the wound closed up almost in the blink of an eye!

The skin lacerated by the triangular bayonet quickly closed up and faded, healing so rapidly that before much blood had even flowed out, it was already visibly healing at an alarming rate.

"It's even more perverted than before...."

'

Su Chen touched the skin on his arm; the spot where he had just scratched it was now completely gone, not even a faint red mark.

It's only been a few minutes!

In addition to the increase in strength and facial features, he keenly noticed that he had gained three more exclusive skills after advancing to the next level.

The Fire Sign, the Frost Sign, and the Poison Sign.

Bathed in the cool, clear light of the full moon, Su Chen peered at himself through the reflection of the light from the window.

His physique was stronger than before, and a barely perceptible somberness veiled the golden light in his eyes.

At first glance, it seems to be about the same as before, but in reality, Su Chen can feel that his basic physical abilities and physical qualities have undergone a qualitative leap.

more importantly.

In the past, he might have felt excited and eager about his current changes, but now he clearly feels that he has become much less excited about these kinds of emotions.

Excitement, too.

But more often than not, it's a subconscious acceptance of the effects of career advancement cards and career advancement.

It was as if he was always meant to be this way, and there was no need for any surprises.

"My emotional perception seems to have weakened."

Su Chen remained silent.

With a gurgling sound.

Su Chen's stomach rumbled.

"How could I have almost forgotten about that?"

A wave of intense hunger washed over Su Chen, and he almost fainted.

After advancing in one's professional skills or changing jobs, there will be a significant energy deficit due to the enormous physical exertion.

Without hesitation, Su Chen opened the refrigerator, which contained most of his previous spoils.

The last time he switched to the Witcher class, he wolfed down his food without a care for appearances, and he couldn't be the same this time.

Su Chen took out a piece of dried beef and ate it to fill his stomach. The dried beef was extremely dry; even Taro would have to chew it for a long time if he came with a piece of dried beef as wide as his arm.

Taking advantage of the moment, he quickly took out a bag of freeze-dried pork chops and a palm-sized bag of freeze-dried vegetables from the refrigerator.

If you have the means, you should have a balanced diet of meat and vegetables to ensure adequate nutrition.

He skillfully scooped out a pot of water and brought it to a boil, intending to cook a good meal while he chewed on the dried beef.

Before long, the beef jerky was almost gone. Su Chen took out two pieces of 100% chocolate to line the bottom. As soon as he took a bite, the bitter taste mixed with the rich aroma made him frown. Meanwhile, the kitchen gradually filled with the aroma of meat.

He took out the remaining seven or eight packets of instant noodles and ate them all at once.

A moment later, a large pork chop weighing over two pounds and a small bowl of soaked vegetables appeared. Su Chen took advantage of the noodles that had just been cooked in the stew pot and started slurping them up.

After a long while, having eaten and drunk his fill, Su Chen wiped his greasy mouth and stretched contentedly.

"This feeling...it's awesome!"

After finishing his meal, Su Chen noticed several streaks of fire reflected in the kitchen window. Not only that, but smoke was also inexplicably rising from the neighborhood. "What's going on?"

Looking out the window, Su Chen noticed a group of people standing near the community bulletin board, including Captain Chen.

"What new activities does the temporary management team have?"

Frowning, Su Chen changed into clean clothes and felt light and quickly arrived at the crowd.

"Old Liu, why did you leave me and the kids behind!"

A mournful wail rang out as a woman with a four-year-old child reached out her hand, trying to rush into the bonfire in the middle of the crowd.

The child next to her also had red and swollen eyes, crying so hard he couldn't open them.

Captain Chen stopped the woman, his voice choked with emotion: "Today, we are here to solemnly mourn these victims who made enormous contributions to us, to everyone, and to the entire community!"

Wiping away his tears, Captain Chen's expression was resolute, yet his voice carried weight: "Remember! Keep them in mind! These people are outstanding members of our community!"

Before he could finish speaking, several more mournful cries rang out. The fire and smoke that Su Chen had seen upstairs earlier were actually the middle rows of tree branches and gasoline burning.

Not far away, people were occasionally dragging bags of corpses wrapped in bed sheets.

The siege battles were still too brutal.

Many people lacked proper weapons and were unaware of the monsters' information, making them vulnerable to death when attacked. Some even suffered varying degrees of limb loss.

Looking at the solemn-faced crowd gathered around the fire, and hearing the pitiful weeping from within, Su Chen felt a pang of sorrow.

"Where's Lao Xu? He hasn't come back?" a middle-aged man asked in a low voice. His resolute face showed visible fatigue, his arm was wrapped in a sterilized bandage, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled slightly.

Beside him, a haggard woman touched her slightly protruding belly, then gently shook her head, and squatted weakly on the ground, sobbing softly.

'

A silence fell over the surroundings.

Su Chen took a breath, his face darkened, and his gaze lowered slightly.

Am I being a little selfish...?

Inevitably influenced by his surroundings, Su Chen stood in the crowd, and such impulsive thoughts popped into his mind. Looking at the haggard woman and the sobbing crowd around him, he still felt somewhat apologetic.

If he had told the others about the monsters earlier, would the outcome of this siege have been better?

The total number of deaths this time was over one hundred.

The temporary management team left only Captain Chen and another man to take care of the scene. The others and community volunteers were still busy near the wall, afraid of missing anything that might cause someone to have trouble resting in peace.

This tragic outcome was not what Su Chen wanted. However, he didn't have much ability to protect himself before. If he rashly revealed information to others, he would not only bring trouble upon himself but also be used as a pawn.

If he's not careful, it's practically suicide.

Thinking of this, Su Chen's eyes became much more resolute.

It's not wrong to do this in order to protect oneself.

"well-

""

He sighed deeply and continued to mourn in silence.

In the crowd, a young woman had just reached the outer edge when she caught sight of a familiar figure, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Su Chen?"

The beautiful young woman licked her lips, her eyes brightening. Seeing people around her looking at her, she had no choice but to lower her face and quietly walk to the side of the man who was bowing his head in silent mourning.
