Chapter 14: Another Criminal?_1
[Ding! Please don't doubt! The system is a legitimate system, it never cheats the host for points…]
Hearing the system's explanation, Su Xuan's eyes widened slightly, and he was a little dumbfounded.
If you say you are a proper system, then you are a proper system?
Later on, all of my points might be cheated!
However, this thought merely circled his mind before he quickly set it aside. He and the system were already bound; they had become like a grasshopper tied to a string. In this unfamiliar world, it was good to have a system that knew about his origins.
Thinking this, Su Xuan arrived at a nearby park near the police station and found a bench to sit on.
"What can I do with these 500 points?"
Since that was the case, Su Xuan no longer dwelled on the topic of whether his points were being tricked away by the system and started inquiring instead.
[The host can purchase items through the system's store or choose to share points with the system!]
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but Su Xuan felt that the system's voice changed slightly as it said this.
"The system store?"
Hearing the system's words, Su Xuan was briefly stunned, and as he thought about it, a dazzling store appeared before his eyes.
Yet the prices listed...
They were somewhat hard to commend.
"A bottle of simple physique-enhancing potion costs 1000 points!?"
Su Xuan was speechless and a bit choked up. He gestured and pointed, "Why don't you just go rob someone?"
The system remained silent, as if it had suddenly frozen.
With an exasperated sigh, Su Xuan continued to browse. He then noticed something like a search radar listed below, with a price of only 499 points.
Su Xuan immediately set his sights on it!
The fluctuating price tag had just been posted, and now it displayed the specific information about the radar.
[Item: Sin Radar
Function: Can assess the good and evil values of all objects within a thirty-meter radius! Upgradeable!]
Seeing the detailed information about the radar, Su Xuan was already tempted.
To him, this thing was practically his secret weapon!
A radar that could explore the good and evil values of all objects within a thirty-meter radius. Didn't that mean he could determine who was a criminal just based on their moral values?
"Just that the thirty-meter radius for exploration is a bit limited."
Su Xuan couldn't help but sigh. "But for now, this thing is pretty powerful for me. I'll buy it!"
To be a man, one must be decisive!
These 500 points were useless on him anyway, so he might as well spend them now. The radar he bought could definitely help him gain more things!
Thinking this, Su Xuan pressed down.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on your first purchase in the store. You've been rewarded with one lottery ticket!]
[The primary version of the Sin Radar you've purchased has arrived. Please check it!]
The system's voice sounded successively. Su Xuan looked up and indeed saw two small red dots appear in the upper right corner, resembling two little pigeons.
He tapped on the red dots, and immediately felt a beam of light hit his forehead, like being splashed by raindrops.
After reacting, it seemed as though the world before his eyes had changed.
Everyone who passed by him had a red or green mark on top of their heads, along with a faint blue...
And beside these colors were various numbers.
Although the area wasn't large, it was sufficient for him. At least, when he walked among the crowd, he knew clearly the disposition of those around him.
[Ding! Due to the host's active purchase, the system is gifting a comprehensive criminal search! Search space: 1000 meters!]
[Searching...]
[Ding! Warning, warning! A criminal has been found 500 meters away!]
[Special emergency task: Please apprehend the criminal immediately! If successful, you will receive a reward of 1000 points!]
Suddenly, several notifications from the system echoed through.
As Su Xuan heard the last two sentences, he was dumbfounded.
Instinctively, he jumped off the bench and followed the arrow provided by the system, accurately looking toward a certain side path.
He walked towards that path.
The farther he went, the redder the arrow in Su Xuan's vision became. Soon, he noticed a young man sitting on a wooden bench by the side of the path, wearing a baseball cap.
The young man was dressed in the most ordinary T-shirt, holding a cellphone and playing with it, appearing like a typical youthful boy.
If the system's arrow hadn't been hovering directly above this young man's head, Su Xuan wouldn't have paid any attention to someone so unremarkable.
But...
That was a whopping 1000 points!
Considering the fact that even the wanted criminal he had just caught didn't have as many points...
It could only mean one thing.
The person before him was likely even more advanced than Gao Qi and undoubtedly a notorious fugitive!
Thinking this, Su Xuan's steps didn't slow down as he continued forward, pretending to pass by as if he were a casual pedestrian.
However, the corner of his eye remained fixed on the young man.
It was this close inspection that made Su Xuan realize the signs being exhibited by the young man!
Beneath the ordinary T-shirt, there was a slight bulge, and the young man's movements were highly alert.
While it seemed like he was playing with his phone, Su Xuan had a feeling that his hand was just a split-second away from touching the weapon hidden beneath his T-shirt.
According to Su Xuan's guess, that thing was either a gun or a knife!
Whoosh!
This guy actually had such a weapon!
Su Xuan hastened his pace, feeling a little tense. His expression grew serious as he continued observing the young man.
He didn't dare to act recklessly, fearing that he might startle the criminal.
Moreover, he was alone now, and the discovery of the criminal was only due to the sudden announcement by the system. The situation had developed so quickly, and he didn't even have an assistant.
Furthermore, this criminal seemed to be quite formidable. If it came to a physical confrontation, he wouldn't stand a chance...
At this moment, Su Xuan suddenly felt regret.
If he had known, he should have gritted his teeth earlier and tried to buy a body-enhancing elixir on credit!
"System, is there anything that can be bought on credit?"
Su Xuan asked in his mind, "Preferably something related to enhancing combat power or physical fitness."
"If there is, buy it for me immediately!"
[Ding... I'm sorry, host. The system does not offer credit purchases...]
The system's voice remained flat and emotionless, sounding like an unfeeling robot, uttering the last thing Su Xuan wanted to hear.
At that, the clear expression in Su Xuan's eyes dimmed instantly.
Was there truly no way for him to subdue this criminal?
However, just at this moment, the system spoke up again:
[There is a chance that the lottery ticket within the host might yield a physique-enhancing elixir. Would you like to draw it?]
Su Xuan's dim eyes immediately lit up once more, and he responded eagerly, "What are we waiting for? Draw it quickly!"
[Drawing in progress...]
[Congratulations to the host for winning the 'Iron Hammer Mastery: Hundred Strikes'! A primary Iron Hammer is awarded!]
Su Xuan: ...?
System, what nonsense are you spouting?
