The next day, Ren Suo was awoken by a phone call.

“It’s Yu Kuangtu here, I have sent the information to you via WeChat, verify the authenticity of the information by today and write a general evaluation of it. For example, whether it can be trusted, cannot be trusted, or can be fully trusted,” Yu Kuangtu said.

“… Okay, okay,” Ren Suo replied.

Ren Suo looked at the time and saw that it was 10 a.m. He put down the mobile phone and freshened up, then turned on his computer to download the document which Yu Kuangtu sent on WeChat.

Although Ren Suo should have been “Practicing before starting work”, Yu Kuangtu must have thought that Ren Suo was lazing around and so decided to get him to work beforehand.

The document was merely titled “0503” and it looked like a date. But the moment Ren Suo opened the document, his eyes narrowed almost to a line.

“Scientific name: Grim Bird Wyvern”

“Type: Spirit, Ghost”

“Emergence: Transformed from birds that feed on decomposing carcasses, where carcasses are abundant.”

“Special Features: Both of its wings emit blinding light and its mouth can emit waves that penetrate metal and wood; they are susceptible to sonic booms and fire; likes to linger around cemeteries and hospitals.”

It contained information about the monsters that Ren Suo had revealed through his character in “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”!

“Naisser_Ren” had not uploaded any new videos on the internet, and yet the information had appeared. That meant that the people who participated in the second stage of the training had returned, and at least one of them had revealed the information according to what Ren Suo had said in the game then.

Although only a small number of monsters, like the Hungry Ghost Demon, had appeared in Lianjiang City, that did not mean that other special types of monsters had not appeared elsewhere. As long as such information spread on the internet and was discovered by members of the Countermeasure Division of the other areas, the information would naturally become important.

Nonetheless, at that time, Ren Suo had intended to be the first one to discover the information. It could have earned him some benefits. However, the time when the trainees would return and where the information would be uploaded to was uncertain, so unless Ren Suo trawled through the internet on his computer all day long, he was unlikely to be the first person to discover that information.

Ren Suo quickly browsed through the information and confirmed that it was indeed the content that he had revealed previously. He pondered for a moment and added small pieces of information in the document—at that time, he had purposely omitted some details that could be deduced from the drama series in order to reduce the amount of information that he said.

And now it was apt to fill in the gaps in the information, in a pretense that he had worked hard.

After spending 15 minutes finishing up the work, the Yee-fu noodles with beef briskets with fried bean sauce, as well as a plate of vegetables, which Ren Suo had ordered from the stall downstairs, had also been delivered. After his call with his mother the day before, Ren Suo realized that he had indeed not eaten vegetables the past few days.

As Ren Suo ate his lunch, he turned on the game console and continued playing the game. Ren Suo was relaxed as he played the game, since starting a second save file was not allowed before completing the first.

It had to be made known that [The All-Devouring Soul] was an extremely addictive game, especially after the pangolin that Ren Suo controlled acquired the two abilities “Mangle” and “Universal Diet”. Ren Suo’s tactic was such that he would allow the pangolin to be injured, and then, control it to feed on a full meal at night, then wait for its overall ability to increase the next morning.

Ren Suo would fast forward the time in the game until the next morning, and observe how much the pangolin’s overall ability and combat ability increased respectively.

If the combat power increased, he would naturally want to test the increase in the performance of the pangolin. Previously, it spent much effort to kill the monkey, but now, it could quickly puncture the monkey’s throat in one try—”Universal Diet” did not only enhance digestion but also strengthened the sharpness and force of the pangolin’s teeth and jaw.

Furthermore, after its overall ability increased, the pangolin’s strength also increased greatly. It could now capture and kill birds, spiders, and insects with much ease, and for it to “best absorb nutrients”, Ren Suo even controlled the pangolin to feed on more nutritious fruits.

A few hours passed as Ren Suo controlled the pangolin to scout around the area, capture and kill other creatures, eat fruits, and sleep, and subsequently observe how much stronger the pangolin grew, then repeat the same cycle again…

One minute in real life was also one minute in the game, but it was possible to fast forward the time if the character in the game was sleeping or en route to a location.

It was presently noon in the game, and the pangolin had just eliminated a nest of snakes. It was slightly injured and slightly too full, so Ren Suo decided to just let it sleep until the next morning.

The energy bar of the pangolin was not full, but there were no longer many creatures worthy of capturing and killing in the vicinity. Without hesitation, Ren Suo chose to send the pangolin towards a city area inhabited by humans!

Ren Suo had already checked and found that the pangolin was in the vicinity of Jingnan Province and there seemed to be cities nearby. And as expected, after the pangolin walked for about three hours in the game, a highway appeared!

However, as the pangolin proceeded onto the highway, Ren Suo saw that a car accident had taken place not far away.

A truck had flipped to its side after crashing into a poplar tree by the side of the road. There was no other vehicle on the highway except for the truck, and it was likely that the truck had crashed as the driver was too tired.

Ren Suo controlled the pangolin to walk over and found a man in the cab. It appeared that he had hit his head against the steering wheel and was bleeding at the forehead. The truck seemed to have not been equipped with an airbag, but it was common for most domestic trucks to not be equipped with an airbag due to the higher costs involved.

All would be well if no accidents were to happen, and even a fool would not voluntarily crash the truck he was driving. However, if an accident happened and luck was not on one’s side, the outcome would be as such.

Fortunately, an anti-collision bar had been installed at the front of the truck, and it had only crashed into a tree. The cab had not been deformed, or otherwise, the driver could only be rescued after the firefighters arrived.

Was there any way to save him? Ren Suo took a look around and found that the truck had not overturned entirely. The front of the truck, the poplar tree, and the slope were balancing one another, and there was space below.

While saving people was not part of the criteria to pass the game, killing people was in fact more likely to be one of the criteria—killing small animals earned Reiki, so it must be the same to do the same with humans.

If Ren Suo had a sudden inspiration and interest, he might well start a save file where he would “kill to be a saint”, and enhance his abilities by massacring large groups. He could enjoy the attempt at the game, and nothing would go wrong as long as he did not upload that save file as his final score.

He was still experimenting in the game, and it was more important for him to pass the stage while maintaining the bottom line.

The windows had all shattered and Ren Suo controlled the pangolin to gnaw at the driver’s seat belt until it was able to drag the driver out of the cab slowly. With the help of gravity, it was not too difficult for the pangolin to pull a fully-grown adult, in addition to the fact that the bite strength of the pangolin was sufficiently strong.

After spending a few minutes dragging the driver to a safe location, Ren Suo realized that the driver’s injury to the forehead appeared serious. It was uncertain if the driver could survive, for there appeared to be no one on the highway even after a long while.

If only I could heal his injuries…

Ren Suo blinked and navigated to the “Equipment” page outside of the game.

At that time, a new character [The All-Devouring Soul] was added to the list of game characters, which was equipped with the ability “Unlimited Energy”.

Unlike the other game characters, many abilities were unable to be equipped to [The All-Devouring Soul], including “Unlimited Energy”, “Fighter Novice”, “Touch of Recovery”… Many abilities could only be equipped by human characters.

As such, Ren Suo equipped [The All-Devouring Soul] with “Ability: Clothes”—it gave his game character an additional 1 Defense point.

Since it could be equipped with “Ability: Clothes”, it was naturally able to be equipped with “Ability: Heal”. Ren Suo equipped [The All-Devouring Soul] with “Heal” and returned to the game, and realized that—

Indeed, the pangolin had an additional 1 Recovery point.

“The pangolin does not have a breathing current, can it really not be invoked…” Ren Suo muttered as he ran out of ideas, and had tried his best to save the injured driver. Nonetheless, the save file might not be uploaded anyway, and Ren Suo controlled the pangolin to leave.

However, when the driver was moved by the pangolin, the jade pendant around the driver’s neck fell off. When the pangolin came into contact with it while it was walking away, a game prompt appeared: [Absorbing Reiki now.]

Eh?

Ren Suo was stunned for a moment. Ten seconds later, the absorption of the Reiki had completed, and the pangolin’s energy bar was filled, and even in excess.

In the previous attempts, Ren Suo had not managed to find any “Reiki items”, which was also why he decided to head to the city from the wild—it was impossible to catch up with the growth rate of the strongest creature in the world, even if he made his character eat humans!

Why did the jade pendant he encountered on the road contain Reiki?

Or perhaps, was the driver like the main character in School Beauty’s Personal Bodyguard? Did he have many beneficial items with him?

Ren Suo chose to “Evolve” and realized that the options he were given were slightly more interesting:

The “Claws and Fangs” card was red with grey text. Its effect was: Damage of the life form would double permanently, but would not be higher than its total Defense and Recovery combined.

The “Fortified Defense” card was red with blue text. Its effect was: Defense of the life form would double permanently, but would not be higher than its total Movement and Damage combined.

The third option was the most fascinating one.

The “Second Sight+” card was red with blue text. Its effect was: The life form’s second sight would be activated and it would be able to see the amount of Reiki present in all objects in view. The enhanced effect allows the life form to know the time required to absorb the Reiki in the object.

The emergence of Second Sight in the game was not strange to Ren Suo—it was indeed a necessary evolutionary ability. How else would Reiki items be found?

However, was “Second Sight+” due to encountering the jade pendant?

Without a doubt, Ren Suo chose “Second Sight+”, and the pangolin acquired another ability.

[Press R3 to enter Second Sight mode.]

When Second Sight was activated, the entire background turned to a dark grey tone. The grass by the road was slightly green in color, and there was also some color on the cab of the truck. The driver appeared red in color, but his clothes were a dark green color!

The pangolin touched the driver’s white vest (the kind that uncles liked to wear), and a small box appeared instantly on the right side of the screen.

[6-year-old Vest]

[Reiki content: Extremely scarce]

[Chance of Enhancement: 0.106%]

[Time Required to Absorb: 13 hours 25 minutes]

A vest had Reiki?!

Ren Suo did not believe in heresy, and controlled the pangolin to touch the driver’s sock:

[17-year-old Sock (Smelly)]

[Reiki content: Moderately scarce]

[Chance of Enhancement: 0.03%]

[Time Required to Absorb: 24 hours 03 minutes]

How could a smelly sock also contain Reiki?!
