Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Screw your points! I’m not going to kill for something like this!”

“If you want to kill, just come at me. Let’s see who wins and who loses!”

Lin Bai threw his phone to the side angrily.

So what if he was forcefully pulled into the game? As long as he didn’t want to kill, no one could force him!

Unfortunately, Lin Bai didn’t want to kill, but others wanted to kill him.

That night, Lin Bai was sleeping soundly.

In a dormitory at the end of the corridor, a figure quietly flashed out.

That person stood on tiptoe, not making a single sound as he walked.

It was as if his entire person had become one with the darkness.

He closed his eyes and slowly walked forward, sensing along the way. Finally, he stood outside Lin Bai’s dormitory door.

“This is the right place.”

“Lin Bai, I’m sorry. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who created this game.”

He murmured in an extremely soft voice, and a faint green poisonous fog floated out of his body.

The poisonous fog seemed to have a life of its own as it entered Lin Bai’s dormitory through the crack in the door.

At this moment, Lin Bai was still asleep.

The pendant on his wrist seemed to have sensed that danger was coming and suddenly became extremely cold.

Lin Bai shivered from the cold, and his entire body instantly became clear-headed.

What followed closely was a sense of danger that made his hair stand on end.

With the help of the faint light shining through the gap between the curtains, Lin Bai could vaguely see a wisp of pale green fog floating in front of his eyes.

He instinctively held his breath and prepared to roll off the bed to avoid it.

However, at this moment, a white light suddenly lit up.

The green poisonous fog instantly dissipated.

Outside the door, there was a muffled bang, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Lin Bai looked at his locker in shock. He was very sure that the white light that suddenly appeared just now was coming from his own locker.

Without checking the source of the sound outside the door, Lin Bai quickly jumped off the bed and pulled open his own locker.

The Mayan prophecy tablet lay quietly inside, looking no different from before.

Lin Bai tentatively reached out to touch it, but there was no change.

However, he still relied on his intuition, took out the tablet, held it in his arms, and quietly walked to the door.

The next second, Lin Bai suddenly pulled open the door and quickly dodged to the side!

The attack he imagined did not appear.

Lin Bai glanced out tentatively and found a person lying on the corridor outside the door.

He gave a gentle kick tentatively, but the other party did not respond.

Meanwhile, the system notification sounded in Lin Bai’s mind.

[Ding, detected that the host has successfully absorbed other people’s supernatural ability. Do you want to convert it into energy to strengthen the system?]

Lin Bai was slightly surprised. He looked down and found that all the characters on the prophecy tablet in his arms had lit up.

As the white light swirled, the last wisp of pale green poisonous fog entered the tablet and completely disappeared.

Then, the prophecy tablet returned to its original appearance.

“It seemed that this time, I absorbed the opponent’s superpower because I was holding the prophecy tablet, right?”

“It was also thanks to its protection just now. Otherwise, I might have been successfully ambushed by him.”

Lin Bai secretly rejoiced. Spending so much money to buy this Mayan prophecy tablet was indeed the right decision.

Of course, he didn’t forget that the system was still waiting for his answer.

According to the rules of the Hunter game, as long as one defeated or killed another player, they could seize the opponent’s superpower.

Now that the system had given him a choice, it was probably for him to choose whether he should obtain the opponent’s superpower or use this energy to strengthen the system.

If he chose to strengthen it, he probably wouldn’t be able to obtain the opponent’s superpower.

Thinking about how he had been interrupted by other superpowered people several times before, which caused the news app in the future to be unable to be used normally, Lin Bai felt that no superpowered ability could compare to foresight.

After all, the prompt in the Future News app could alert him before danger came, and he could even know the other party’s attack methods and weaknesses.

This was more useful than any other superpowered ability.

“I’ll strengthen the system.”

Lin Bai made a decision in his heart.

He didn’t want to be disturbed by others because his superpower level wasn’t high enough.

Because of this damn Hunter game, there were more than 900 superpowered people in the country alone.

Lin Bai didn’t know how many people with superpowers participated in the game in S City.

However, he had already met four superpowered people in the past few days, and there would only be more and more in the future.

If he didn’t upgrade the system as soon as possible, he would be disturbed as soon as he encountered superpowered people. That would be too passive.

After a short period of silence, the system finally sent out another notification.

[Ding, energy absorption completed. The system still needs 699 energy points to complete the upgrade. ]

Lin Bai didn’t know exactly how this energy was calculated. He didn’t have the mood to care about this at the moment.

In comparison, he wanted to know the identity of the guy who failed to ambush him and had his superpower taken away by him.

Under the dim light of the phone screen, Lin Bai could barely recognize the guy’s face, but he didn’t recognize him.

However, judging from his age, he should be around the same age as Lin Bai, and he should be a student of the same school, and there was a high probability that he lived in this dormitory building.

Lin Bai thought about it and felt that it was better not to cause trouble. He grabbed the other party’s arm and dragged him to the side for more than ten meters before throwing him at the entrance of another dormitory.

It would be best if the other party could wake up and go back on his own.

It would be fine if he was unconscious until the next morning before he was discovered. After all, he was not at the entrance of his dormitory, so it would be fine as long as he was not suspected.

As for whether the other party would wake up and launch a sneak attack on him, Lin Bai wasn’t worried at all.

The other party didn’t even have a superpower anymore. If he had a brain, he should stay away from him.

If he was stubborn, he would be fine.

Anyway, Lin Bai’s luck was at the Max level now, and he had two prophecy tablets, one big and one small. Both of them could serve as a warning and protection.

In addition to Lin Bai’s own superpower, he wouldn’t be in any danger no matter how he thought about it.

“You’re lucky to have lost to me. If you had met other players, you’d probably be dead by now.”

After whispering to the unconscious man, Lin Bai turned around and returned to his dorm.

In the dorm, his roommates were all deep in sleep. They had no idea what had happened.

Although Lin Bai thought that the person would probably not attack him again, he still could not sleep at ease.

He might as well look at the Hunter game app to kill some time.

Lin Bai sat by the bed and looked at his phone. He found that his player profile had changed.

[ Player name: Lin Bai. ID: 1000. ]

[ Player abilities: clairvoyance, medical skills, human detection, stealth, poison fog. ]

[ Points: 1 point. ]

Lin Bai frowned when he saw this information.

When he first saw the information about the players, he had felt that something was wrong.

Now, he finally understood what was wrong.

His superpower was wrong.

Lin Bai’s most important superpower should have been his divination ability.

However, it was not stated at all.
