Chương 14: Surging Dream Capsule

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then the person immediately understood Yang Chen's intention.

"Understood, Godfather. I'll handle it personally, and I guarantee it will be spotless; not even a fly will be found."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen held the phone tightly in his hand.

He stood quietly in front of the hospital bed, staring blankly at Yang Yiming's lifeless body, not uttering a single word for a long time.

In the ward, only the faint sound of blood dripping onto the carpet remained.

...

...

Jiang Che slowly opened his eyes.

Having avenged his great grudge, he should logically feel relieved or ecstatic after his revenge.

But at this moment, Jiang Che felt no excitement whatsoever.

Looking at the ceiling, he felt a deep emptiness in his heart.

It felt like a large chunk of something had been forcibly ripped out, making even breathing a heavy, painful experience.

Even if Yang Yiming is killed, Jiang Xian will never come back.

Jiang Che took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed this feeling of emptiness.

Now is not the time for sadness; he still has the most important things to do.

Jiang Che immediately activated the Hunting System in his mind.

Having just killed Yang Yiming, the shapeshifter of Wind Eagle Warrior, in a dream, the system directly rewarded me with 200 points.

He now has just enough money left to participate in two more lottery draws.

"Dream Capsule Restoration Capsule! It absolutely has to be released!"

Jiang Che stared intently at the rapidly spinning wheel in his mind, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, praying silently.

This was his only hope of reviving his sister.

The light flashed twice in succession, and the lottery results appeared.

[Ding! Lottery completed.] [Lottery Result: Winner of Impact Dream Capsule x1.] [Lottery Result: Winner of 1 Dream Capsule.] Looking at the two capsules in his hand, the hope in Jiang Che's eyes gradually faded, and he let out a long sigh.

However, he still couldn't draw the Dream Recovery Capsule he so desperately wanted this time.

"Never mind." Jiang Che shook his head, consoling himself, "Even if I didn't get a Dream Recovery Capsule, it's not bad to get an item that can boost my combat power."

He was well aware of his current situation.

If I kill Yang Yiming, the forces behind him will definitely not let it go. Before long, they will probably follow the clues and come to me for revenge.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che's eyes turned cold: "It's fine if you come looking for me. Then I'll have more targets to hunt and I can gain points faster."

Jiang Che looked at the newly drawn Impact Dream Capsule in his hand and suddenly remembered something.

"I remember there was a concept in the original series that two identical capsules could be combined. After being combined, the purity of the capsule would increase, and the released power would become stronger."

Without hesitation, Jiang Che took out the Impact Dream Capsule that had been given as a gift in the newbie gift pack.

He held one Impact Dream Capsule in each hand, brought the two identical capsules close together, and then gently tapped them together.

"Buzz—!"

The moment the two capsules came into contact, a powerful energy surge erupted.

The two capsules transformed into two dazzling red lights, merging into one in Jiang Che's palm!

The red light faded.

Jiang Che only had one Impact Dream Capsule left in his hand.

However, this new capsule is much more powerful than the previous one, both in terms of color depth and the ferocity of the energy flowing inside!

[Obtained: Impact Dream Capsule (2-star)] With the appearance of this 2-star Impact Dream Capsule, a piece of information about the system mechanism instantly flooded into Jiang Che's mind.

Upon receiving the message, Jiang Che's previously gloomy face immediately lit up with a look of great joy.

It turns out that, under the protection of the hunting system's rules, the dream capsules he obtained were not simply synthesized once and then it was over, but had an extremely powerful [infinite star-up] function!

In other words, as long as he has enough points to draw prizes, and as long as he can continuously draw the same dream capsules, he can keep combining them in pairs to infinitely increase the star rating of the capsules, thereby infinitely increasing his own power!

One star to two stars, two stars to three stars, four stars, five stars...

This is a terrifying enhancement mechanism with no upper limit! Only...

If he has enough points, his basic power can expand endlessly until he completely shatters the world's combat power ceiling!

"Infinite star-up..."

Jiang Che looked at the 2-star Impact Dream Capsule in his hand, which contained terrifying destructive power, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"If it keeps rising like this, I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to use this basic form to go head-to-head with an existence of the level of Oma Zi-O."

After putting away all the capsules and calming himself down, Jiang Che's phone, which was on the bedside table, suddenly started vibrating urgently.

Jiang Che picked up the phone, and three words appeared on the screen: Su Qinghe.

Upon seeing this name, Jiang Che's murderous gaze softened slightly.

Su Qinghe was his classmate in university, as well as his study buddy and dining companion. The two were almost inseparable at school and had a very good relationship.

In fact, Jiang Che had always harbored some affection for this kind-hearted and pure-looking girl.

Su Qinghe usually showed him great care and concern, a concern that went beyond that of ordinary friends, which Jiang Che could naturally sense.

Unfortunately, due to his own reasons, Jiang Che has never taken that step.

He was just a poor boy living at the very bottom of society, whose basic needs were met only by his sister working three jobs.

He felt that with his impoverished family background, he couldn't offer Su Qinghe any future, so he kept his feelings buried deep in his heart and never revealed them.

Jiang Che swiped the screen and answered the phone.

"Hey, Qinghe."

Before Jiang Che could even exchange pleasantries, Su Qinghe's extremely urgent, even somewhat panicked voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Jiang Che! Where are you right now? Did you offend someone outside?!"

Su Qinghe spoke very quickly, "Early this morning, several Awakened individuals suddenly came to the school to inquire about you, asking where you usually live and where you often go. Their expressions were very unpleasant; they definitely didn't come with good intentions!"

Upon hearing Su Qinghe's warning, a chilling glint flashed in Jiang Che's eyes.

He gave a cold laugh, his voice filled with chilling murderous intent.

They came knocking on our door so quickly?

The Knights Alliance acted even faster than he had imagined.

But this is good, he just synthesized a 2-star Impact Dream Capsule and was worried about not having a suitable target to test the power of his new force!

"Jiang Che? Jiang Che, are you listening? Please don't act rashly!" Su Qinghe called out even more anxiously when she didn't hear a response on the other end of the phone.

Hearing Su Qinghe's concerned voice, Jiang Che snapped out of his cold killing intent.

He paused for two seconds, then spoke slowly in a voice filled with suppressed grief and hoarseness:

"Qinghe... my sister is dead."

If there is anyone in this world besides Jiang Xian whom Jiang Che can trust without reservation, then Su Qinghe is the only one he can confide in.

There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.
