Brother-in-law, be normal!

Chapter 2 Upgrade

"Disloyalty..."

The girl had barely uttered those words when she jerked her eyes open in a sudden, reactive motion.

Why did I think of Lu Wuxin?

Xu Qianyan was stunned for a moment.

She vaguely recalled her childhood.

Back then, I was a kid who couldn't fall asleep without hugging my teddy bear...

At that time, Lu Wuxin, who was still a high school student, came to him for the first time.

Young and handsome boys always attract little girls.

Back then, I followed him around like a shadow...

Xu Qianyan was just about to recall how spirited Lu Wuxin used to be when he was young.

But I just can't remember it.

As she was thinking, Xu Qianyan suddenly remembered Lu Wuxin, who now had a full beard and a dazed look in his eyes.

The girl gritted her teeth.

She knew.

There's no way Lu Wuxin will come to save her.

After all, that bastard is on a date with his long-dead sister...

"Ahhhhh!"

The girl was so angry that she stood up abruptly.

"I don't need help!!!"

She gripped the dagger with both hands, staring intently at the C-rank faceless ghost before her.

"Roar roar roar roar—"

The C-rank monster roared eerily, and the wounds from the sneak attack on the girl throbbed with pain again.

Xu Qianyan unconsciously took a step back.

While her courage is commendable, the disparity in power in reality is undeniable.

She was about to run away.

Turning around, he saw dozens of ordinary people behind him, panicking and running for their lives.

...If we try to escape here, this monster will definitely attack these unarmed people.

No...

An 18-year-old girl's mind is still very simple and innocent, without so many hidden agendas.

She stopped and continued to point her knife at the long-haired faceless demon.

"Come on!!!"

"I'm not afraid of you!"

"Damn you, you faithless bastard... Go ahead and act crazy at home all you want! From today onwards... no one will stop you from going on dates with your sister anymore..."

"No one will cook for you anymore, no one will do your laundry..."

The girl unconsciously shed tears.

but.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in my ears.

Do you know why a C-level mystery is classified as a C-level mystery?

"No...brother-in-law!"

The girl turned her head and saw Lu Wuxin arrive; her face flushed involuntarily.

But then she suddenly remembered that she was still crying, so she forced herself to lower her head and then reached down to pull the brim of her baseball cap so that no one could see her face.

"Brother-in-law... what brings you here? Don't you have a date with my sister?!"

But Lu Wuxin did not answer the girl's question. Instead, he stared at the C-level monster in front of him with bloodshot eyes.

"The reason why a C-rank anomaly is classified as C-rank is not because it possesses the same strength as a C-rank ability user..."

"But..."

"Their bodies and strength can provide materials for C-level ability users to advance!"

Xu Qianyan was stunned.

This was the first time she had heard such a statement.

At school, the teachers always say that if they train hard and take the medicine prescribed by the school, they can gradually level up.

Think about it carefully... what is that potion made of?

While the girl was lost in thought.

The long-haired, faceless ghost suddenly vanished without a trace.

"Brother-in-law, be careful, it can become invisible!"

But Lu Wuxin continued his erratic and nonsensical presentation.

"Generally speaking, the people at the research institute will purify the materials obtained from the supernatural beings and turn them into superpower potions for the superpowered individuals to cultivate..."

"But that's too slow!"

Lu Wuxin raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Then, he opened his fingers, revealing his left eye.

His left eye was now shining with a golden light.

At that very moment, the long-haired, faceless ghost revealed itself and swung its giant claws at Lu Wuxin.

Then something surprising happened.

The C-level monster, which was just centimeters away from piercing Lu Wuxin, suddenly thrust its giant claw toward its own head.

And just like that, the long-haired, faceless ghost inexplicably committed suicide in front of Lu Wuxin.

"What's going on...?"

This was the first time Xu Qianyan had seen Lu Wuxin use his special ability.

She had done several missions with Lu Wuxin before, and Lu Wuxin almost always relied on various mysterious tools to fight, never using any supernatural abilities.

The girl's gaze lingered on him for a long time.

"Hehehehe..."

Lu Wuxin inexplicably burst into a strange laugh.

Immediately afterwards, he pounced on the C-level anomaly like a hungry wolf.

He kept digging at the strange creature with his bare hands, seemingly searching for something.

Soon, he dug a tumor out of the strange creature's body.

Just as Xu Qianyan was about to ask what it was,

Lu Wuxin picked up the tumor, then tilted his head back and put it down his throat.

"%￥%#%￥…%￥……"

After a painful struggle, a strange aura emanated from Lu Wuxin.

And the power of his supernatural abilities visibly increased.

Xu Qianyan was shocked.

...So there's such a brutal way to upgrade?

She recalled how she had been stuck at level E for so long.

For some unknown reason, and even the teacher couldn't explain it, she remained stuck at level E and couldn't advance.

Xu Qianyan watched as Lu Wuxin's energy level visibly increased.

...Could I use this method to break through?

Her attention shifted to the other side, to the D-level Qing Dynasty zombie she had just ambushed and killed upon arriving here.

Soon, she found the tumor on the D-level monster's body.

Despite feeling nauseous, she forced herself to swallow the tumor.

"Aaaaaah..."

The girl groaned in pain.

She writhed on the ground in pain.

His body was being eroded by that strange, D-level power.

"You're so stupid..."

"You're only E-rank, how can your body handle being forced to consume D-rank cultivation materials?"

Lu Wuxin had somehow squatted down next to the girl.

"Brother-in-law... I feel so bad..."

Xu Qianyan felt like she was about to die.

Her vision was already blurry, and Lu Wuxin's face was indistinct.

In a hazy state, she felt that the guy in front of her overlapped somewhat with the spirited young man in her memory.

"Troublesome... If your sister hadn't asked me to help you earn your tuition, I wouldn't have bothered with you at all..."

"I don't need it..."

Even though Xu Qianyan was dying, she instinctively wanted to refute Lu Wuxin.

But before she could finish speaking, in her hazy state of consciousness, she seemed to see Lu Wuxin leaning close to her face.

Before she completely lost consciousness, she seemed to feel the warmth of her lips.

Suddenly, a portion of the eerie power within him, which was on the verge of exploding, was sucked away from his mouth...

……

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The girl sat up abruptly, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Xu Qianyan subconsciously touched her lips.

Is it just an illusion...?

Then she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room.

Several injured people were lying in the room.

...This must be some kind of refuge in this eerie realm.

She instinctively tried to locate Lu Wuxin.

However, she soon discovered something else that caught her attention.

—She has been upgraded to a D-level ability user.

At this moment, the girl's excitement was beyond words.

This is the first time she has been promoted since starting university.

However, her excitement was quickly interrupted by the noise outside the door.

"Lu Wuxin, you piece of trash! If we weren't short-staffed this time, why would I have hired your firm for no reason?!"

"And look what happened! You only sent one E-level ability user, and he almost died! What a waste of my medicine! I'm too busy saving people to save you, the ability users who were supposed to be resolving the crisis!"
