My Doomsday Simulator Game.

Chapter 5 5. Talent Upgrade
"Simulation over."

"Survival time: 20 minutes."

“Evaluation: You are making great progress. Keep up the good work.”

“You can spend Catastrophic Potential to bring rewards out of the simulation:

Mysterious Phantom (Normal Talent): 10 Disaster Potential.

Damaged Jailer Training Armor (Normal + Armor): 25 Disaster Potential.

Damaged Jailer Training Armor*7 (Ordinary Armor): 70 Disaster Potential.

Disaster Level 2: 15 Disaster Potential."

"You have seen more powerful monsters, realized your own shortcomings, and secretly worked hard to become stronger. Your Disaster Potential +10."

[Disaster Potential: 28/2]

Ignoring the strange achievement reminders, Su Hong weighed the pros and cons and chose Mysterious Phantom and Disaster Level 2.

[Disaster Potential: 3/2]

A full sense of power surged into my heart again, and the bloodshot in my eyeballs moved a little, seeming to become even redder.

【Su Hong】

[Disaster Level: Present World]

[Disaster Level: Level 2]

[Disaster Potential: 3/2]

[Disaster Talent (2/4): Admirer's Love (Normal), Mysterious Phantom (Normal)]

[Disaster Skill: None]

[Disaster Equipment: Damaged Jailer Training Armor (Normal+), the heavy training armor equipped by the jailers in the prison city, but it is a bit too thick and seems to be used more to prevent being beaten. ]

Su Hong's tense nerves from the life-and-death experience slowly relaxed. Unable to hold up his eyelids any longer, he fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next afternoon, he slept until he woke up naturally. It was a rare occasion that he didn't have to be woken up by the alarm clock. He endured his sleepiness and went to work. He felt much more refreshed.

After strolling around the community to relax, Su Hong bought a lot of supplies online, such as an axe, canned food, medicine, purified water, compressed biscuits...

After surviving the most dangerous first day of the apocalypse, the next thing to consider is the shortage of food and medicine. Supplies are essential.

He had no intention of saving and spent all his savings accumulated over the years to buy enough supplies for one person to survive for four or five years.

After dinner, return to the seventh floor.

Compared to the blood-stained corridors in the simulation game, reality is much cleaner.

A fat uncle with a beer belly stood in the corridor, holding a bottle of wine and greeted him, "Su Hong, have you eaten?"

Su Hong smiled and nodded. The uncle in front of him was the victim of the simulation last night, named Wang Yuxi.

He often calls him Uncle Wang.

Wang Yuxi is a cheerful person who is tactful in his dealings with others, but he loves drinking and is prone to making mistakes. He is quite popular in this building.

As the two were chatting, a high school student wearing glasses came back depressed.

Wang Yuxi leaned over and said, "Chengzhi, why don't you say hello to your brother Su Hong?"

Wang Chengzhi, a dark, thin man with acne on his face, raised his hand and greeted, "Brother Su Hong."

Wang Chengzhi is the high school student whose body was lying on the ground when Su Hong was simulating yesterday, and the son of Wang Yuxi.

"How come you don't have the youthful vigor at all, kid?"

The young man muttered, "If you do homework every day like me, I wonder if you will have the energy."

Without waiting for Wang Yuxi to speak, he hurriedly said, "Brother Su Hong, I'm going back to eat first."

"Go." Su Hong looked at the young man. He always felt that Wang Chengzhi gave him a different feeling than usual, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

He patted Wang Chengzhi on the shoulder, said goodbye to Wang Yuxi, and returned home.

……

At night, you can't see the moon and stars.

Su Hong put on his training armor, changed to a kitchen knife, and stood directly at the door. He had already thought of a way to deal with the corpse ghost.

"Start simulation."

"The current disaster potential is 3/2. Do you want to consume 1 point of disaster potential to start the simulation?"

"Yes."

"Simulation begins, good luck."

His shadow moved rapidly on the brown door. The lights in the room dimmed. When he came to his senses, the shoe cabinet in the entrance was covered with dust.

Time has come to the first day of the apocalypse.

This time he didn't make any preparations, he just pushed open the door and walked out.

A few minutes before the simulation began, the building's power was still on, the corridors were brightly lit, a blood-red projection came in from the windows of the distant corridor, and a dark shadow could be vaguely seen twisting.

In the corridor, Wang Chengzhi, wearing school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, stood in front of his home.

He came back from school early today, but he didn't expect that it would suddenly become dark when he took out the key to open the door.

He stood there in a daze, not realizing that danger was approaching.

After Su Hong walked out of the room, he came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "Brother Su Hong, are you following the trend and doing cosplay?"

Su Hong's entire body was covered in gray-black armor, with his iron barrel helmet standing out particularly well, making him look like a knight from the Middle Ages.

He glanced at the young man and said, "Chengzhi, step back."

Without explaining anything, he walked straight towards the shadow.

The young man was about to speak, but when he saw the twisted black shadow in the corridor, his eyes suddenly narrowed. As Su Hong approached, the black shadow gradually condensed into a human form, and the black-robed jailer held a lantern and laughed coldly.

"What is this?!" Wang Chengzhi held his breath and stared at Su Hong and the black shadow.

"clang!"

Sparks flew, and Su Hong didn't say a word, but directly slashed the black-robed jailer with a knife.

"You triggered the special effect of the talent "Admirer's Love", causing a soul piercing to the black robe jailer."

The black shadow's soul flew away and the armor fell to the ground.

"You defeated the black robe jailer, and your experience increased."

"You have gained 'Disaster Potential'*1."

"You have obtained the 'Armor' Damaged Jailer Training Armor (Normal+)."

"I was lucky. I hit it with one strike." Su Hong said calmly, as if the action of stabbing the monster with a knife was as normal as cutting vegetables and cooking.

"what!"

The other black shadows were stunned. They didn't expect that one of their companions would be hacked to death as soon as they arrived in this land.

Also, does this guy have a grudge against them? He is so cruel.

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang..."

Su Hong showed no mercy and poked the confused black shadow fiercely.

It was obvious that the knife could not cause any harm to them, but the black shadows kept dying.

By the time the shadow came to his senses and tried to escape, it was too late.

Su Hong acted decisively and killed all the remaining black shadows.

"You defeated the black robe jailer, and your experience increased."

"You have gained 'Disaster Potential'*1."

"You have obtained the 'Armor' Damaged Jailer Training Armor (Ordinary).

"You have obtained the 'disaster item' iron cage lantern."

"Discover a disaster item, do you want to refine it?"

"Can I continue refining?" Su Hong was stunned.

"Refining."

The green soup cauldron bubbled and gurgled, and the iron cage lantern was thrown into it, and the flame gradually went out.

"Refining succeeded, discovered the same talent - Mysterious Phantom, do you want to merge and upgrade?"

"Can stacking disaster items upgrade talents?"

Su Hong's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"Yes."

"Upgraded successfully, obtained the disaster talent (temporary): Mysterious Vision."

“Mysterious Vision (Normal+): There seems to be another world hidden in your sight. You vaguely touch the mystery. Mysterious perception increases, and there is a chance of discovering hidden monsters. The stronger the monster’s aura of disaster, the higher the chance of discovering it.”

After the talent was upgraded, the probability of discovering hidden monsters increased, but Su Hong always felt that the ability of the mysterious vision was not limited to this, and he needed to explore it slowly.

The lantern in his hand went out, he turned around and looked at Wang Chengzhi, his eyes flashing a blood-red light.

Wang Chengzhi was suddenly a little scared when he saw this scene. "Are you...are you still Su Hong?"

No matter how long he stayed there, he realized that something was wrong. It seemed that something strange was happening in the building.

"Your unintentional actions increase your mysterious and catastrophic potential by +15."

Does this work too?
Su Hong's mind flashed with thoughts. He looked at the young man and a calm voice came from under his helmet, "Go and call Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen out. I'll be waiting for you here."

"What happened today concerns your lives."

Wang Chengzhi swallowed his saliva and nodded.

Su Hong's movements just now were so smooth that he was completely unaware of the horror of these disaster monsters.

But the sky suddenly turned dark, and bloody light shone in from the corridor window... Strange scenes emerged in his mind, and he unconsciously believed what the man said.

Three minutes later, the two uncles standing in the corridor fell into silence after listening to Su Hong's brief explanation.

The end of the world is coming and monsters appear. Are you sure this is not a scene that only happens in movies?

incredible.

But the noise after the end of the world was so loud that it was hard for the two of them not to pay attention. They realized the abnormality of the building without Su Hong continuing to explain.

Chen Liming, a dark-skinned, lean middle-aged man, asked, "Su Hong, this is quite a commotion. I will believe you for now."

"What do you want to do by calling us out?"

Chen Liming lives at No. 702, which is opposite Wang Yuxi's house. He used to be a farmer in the countryside. Later, when his son made money, he brought him to the city.

He is honest and dull, but strong and powerful, and can be considered a good helper.

The man now had a worried look on his face, and his fingers were trembling slightly.

Another reason why he believed Su Hong's apocalyptic nonsense was that he had just made more than a dozen phone calls to his son who was working away from home, but could not get through.

Normally he would seldom call his son, fearing to cause him trouble, but whenever he called, his son would answer.

And now...

Su Hong glanced at the three people's faces with different expressions, and took out his kitchen knife. "There is a corpse ghost downstairs that kills people everywhere. Come with me to kill it."

It's true that he can't win alone, but no one has ever said that he can't fight in a group.
