NOVEL NEXT Chapter 46
Chapter 46: Tragedy Strikes Like a Tornado! Unveiling Special Abilities:
Before long, everyone left the Zheng family residence, leaving only Zheng Feifan.
“Ahhh…” Zheng Feifan let out a heart-wrenching cry.
He knelt down, his face filled with pain and regret.
He had actually returned to the country several days ago.
As a child, he was kidnapped by human traffickers and after many twists and turns, he ended up in the underground world, becoming a mercenary.
He and his good friend, Liu Cheng, established the Tianlang Mercenary Group.
On their last mission, they encountered a traitor’s betrayal, and the entire Tianlang Mercenary Group was almost wiped out.
Liu Cheng was gravely injured, and died protecting him in the process.
Before dying, Liu Cheng held his hand tightly, saying he had a fiancée he planned to marry after this mission. He asked his good friend to take care of her.
After that betrayal, Zheng Feifan became bitter and weary of the battlefield. He decided to return home to see his father and take care of his brother’s fiancée.
Upon returning to the city, he first visited his brother’s fiancée and was stunned by her beauty.
To make sure she was safe, he took a job as a security guard at her company. Since he hadn’t seen his father for many years, he hadn’t decided how to meet him yet, so he didn’t return home immediately.
He found a rental near the company, settling in and checking in at work daily, admiring the beautiful fiancée.
Yesterday, after work, he received the devastating news that his father had died in a car accident.
Zheng Feifan was dumbstruck.
Tragedy struck too quickly, like a tornado.
Why? He had already returned but hadn’t gone to see his father. Now, he couldn’t even see him one last time.
[Ding! Zheng Feifan is filled with regret, emotion points +888]
[Ding! Zheng Feifan is consumed with rage, emotion points +999]
The relevant department concluded it was an accident due to fatigue driving.
But upon inspecting the scene, Zheng Feifan noticed many suspicious points.
The steering wheel was turned sharply, clearly to avoid something.
There was no surveillance footage from the scene.
Why didn’t the accident happen on another stretch of the road with surveillance?
Too many questions.
Zheng Feifan decided to handle his father’s funeral and then thoroughly investigate the truth.
His eyes glinted with ferocity, his body emanating a murderous aura. “I hope it’s just my misunderstanding. If I discover any crimes, I’ll make sure they wish for death but cannot die…”
..
Xu Hao returned to his company, and he was alone in his office.
Immersing himself in his system, he found that he had accumulated 150,000 emotion points.
He had been saving up these points, planning for a grand draw.
Since his daughters moved in, the emotion points had been increasing rapidly.
And this was just with two daughters. If all seven were together, he could probably do a premium draw daily.
Meeting another protagonist today, and being his father’s killer, had shaken Xu Hao.
He urgently needed a draw to calm his nerves. “System, let’s do a premium draw first.”
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning a special ability: Teleportation]
What?
Xu Hao was stunned.
This was an urban setting, right?
And he got teleportation?
Was this even fair?
Soon, a mysterious sensation surged through him, and his expression changed, eventually settling into disappointment.
The excitement faded instantly. The ‘Teleportation’ ability was controlled by mental strength.
Simply put—the stronger the mental strength, the stronger the ability.
His current mental strength was only 25, allowing him to teleport within a two-meter radius. And teleporting twice was his limit; any more would exhaust his mental energy, leading to collapse.
What a joke.
Teleportation was powerful, but not practical for him right now.
In a fight with a protagonist, teleporting within two meters would be useless; they could easily defeat him. Increasing his mental strength would enhance the ability, but it would take hundreds of points to be effective.
Adding those points to strength would have made him invincible by now. It was a bit of a waste.
However, it wasn’t entirely useless.
If his strength was close to the protagonist’s, the two-meter teleportation could be crucial.
But being limited to two uses was a letdown.
He needed to boost his mental strength significantly to make it reliable, maybe four or five uses.
He still had over 50,000 emotion points.
“Let’s do a five-draw.”
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning 12 free attribute points]
Excellent! It was the first time he drew more than 10 attribute points.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning an item: Desert Eagle pistol]
(Includes two magazines, 1000 bullets each.)
The next moment, a pistol appeared in his hand.
It was exquisite. Xu Hao played with it, finding it far superior to the one he carried for self-defense.
As a ruthless and cautious villain, he always prioritized his safety.
In a world full of various plotlines, one wrong step could mean death.
Thus, he had long secured a gun for protection.
This also explained his confidence against Chen Mo.
One might dodge bullets, but a critical hit would still kill you.
On the other hand, Zheng Feifan might be an exception.
Xu Hao doubted if a pistol could pierce his defenses.
“Continue.”
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning an item: 1952 Maotai (10 bottles)]
The wine was excellent, virtually extinct on the market, fetching sky-high prices at auctions. But couldn’t it be something more useful?
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning a skill: Piano (Master level)]
A surge of knowledge flooded his mind.
With previous experiences, the pain was gone, replaced by a slight pressure.
In moments, he had absorbed all the piano knowledge.
Xu Hao remained expressionless. Was this to max out his secondary skills?
Couldn’t it be something that fit his identity, something to deal with the protagonist?
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning 3 free attribute points]
Even three points came out.
This was getting ridiculous.
Xu Hao quickly gathered his thoughts, considering how to allocate the 15 attribute points.
Finally, he added 10 points to strength and 5 to mental strength. His mental strength reached 30, allowing for three uses of teleportation.
Xu Hao felt a bit more secure.
With a thought, his attribute panel appeared.
