Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Mystery Makes Me Strong

Qin Mingjue had just watched Su Changxing wash his face with water and was suddenly filled with rage, but he didn’t expect this young man’s ferocity to be so heavy. Calming down, he felt a chill of fear.

Su Changxing, carrying a Steel Saber, looked at Qin Jue Ming and smiled, ”So you think washing your face with water is an act of immorality.”

Qin Jue Ming took a deep breath and said, ”Not really, you can use your water however you want... I just lost my composure earlier.”

Then, he tilted his head and glanced at Huang Biao, saying, ”There are quite a few newcomers today. I’ll go take a look.”

Huang Biao nodded and said, ”Alright, let’s clear out the sixth floor today.”

After Qin Jue Ming left, Huang Biao smiled at Su Changxing and said, ”Don’t mind him, but I can assure you, Old Qin is definitely a good person.”

”Maybe.” Su Changxing shrugged and said, ”Find me a room so I can sleep. I’ll leave after I’m done resting.”

He didn’t care what kind of person Qin Jue Ming was, as long as it didn’t infringe on his own interests.

Huang Biao glanced at the sky outside; it was still early, not yet evening. He guessed Su Changxing was planning to loot the Mysterious Shop tonight, and said:

”Come with me, I’ll arrange a clean room for you where you won’t be disturbed.”

Following behind Huang Biao, Su Changxin thought for a moment and said, ”It’s best if no one disturbs me. Hmm, disrupting my sleep can be very dangerous?”

Huang Biao didn’t take it too seriously, thinking Su Changxing would just be angry if someone interrupted his sleep, and said, ”Actually, I get pretty grumpy when I’m woken up too.”

It’s not just grumpiness; it could be deadly... Su Changxing knew that Huang Biao hadn’t understood his meaning, but he didn’t bother to explain further.

Following Huang Biao down the corridor, Su Changxing saw a pale man walking toward them, sharply noticing rings of white light on the man’s body.

This was something no one else had.

What’s that?

The man’s clothes were tattered with spots of blood on them. He grinned and said, ”Hello there.”

Huang Biao nodded, ”You’re new, right? Have you registered with Qin Jue Ming?”

”I have.”

The man gave Su Changxing a deep, indecipherable look, then quickened his pace and walked away.

Su Changxing looked back at the man’s silhouette and said to Huang Biao, ”That person is a little strange.”

”Strange?”

Huang Biao asked, puzzled, ”What do you mean?”

Su Changxing thought for a moment, ”Just a gut feeling, he seems weird, you might want to keep an eye on him.”

Huang Biao took Su Changxing to an empty, but fairly clean room and said, ”Here it is. Need some clothes to use as a mat?”

Su Changxing shook his head, ”No need, I have a sleeping bag.”

Huang Biao watched as Su Changxing took a sleeping bag out of his backpack and couldn’t help but chuckle, ”You’ve really got all your gear.”

Su Changxing glanced back at Huang Biao, seriously saying, ”Actually, I’m still missing a pillow. You can go now, I’m about to sleep.”

”Alright, you sleep, I won’t disturb you.”

Huang Biao nodded, finding it a bit odd that Su Changxing seemed to treat sleep as some kind of important ritual.

Su Changxing laid out his sleeping bag, sat cross-legged on it, and took out his phone to open the Discount Shop. He had just noticed a new section had appeared: Pathway Position.

Clicking into the new section, he saw a purely black square box at the top, with the words ”Dreamer” written on it.

[Dreamer: 57/500]

Below was something resembling a log section.

[Invading someone else’s dream, Mysteriousness +50]

[You beat someone to death in a dream, Mysteriousness +10]

[You’re too tired and feel sleepy, Mysteriousness -1]

[You’re too tired and feel sleepy, Mysteriousness -1]

[You’re too tired and feel sleepy, Mysteriousness -1]

Mysteriousness?

It’s something that didn’t exist in the character attributes.

Su Changxing analyzed for a while, estimating that this so-called Mysteriousness was the way to advance in the position, and once it was filled, he could progress to the next position.

But this was hidden information for others.

In the top left corner, there was another option: Analyze Position.

Su Changxing tried clicking it.

[Would you like to spend 2000 Points to analyze the position]

”It’s not cheap, but what’s the use?”

Su Changxing checked his current Points, seeing he had 10548 points left. Spending 2000 points was now within his splurge range.

Yes.

[Analyzing]

[Analysis: The mysterious makes me strong.

The Dreamer belongs to the mysterious pathway; mystery is the route for position advancement, and when the Mysteriousness reaches certain conditions, the position can advance.

1. Maintaining good sleep is beneficial for increasing Mysteriousness.

2. Performing a sleep ritual can increase Mysteriousness.

3. Using position abilities can increase Mysteriousness.

Note: The higher the Compatibility, the easier it is to increase Mysteriousness.]

”Is that it? I spent 2000 Points for just a paragraph?”

Su Changxing complained, but upon deeper inspection, he found the paragraph quite valuable, at least providing a clearer understanding of how to increase Mysteriousness.

After reading the analysis, he noticed the option still remained, but the text had changed to ”Deeply Analyze Position.”

[Would you like to spend 3000 Points for a deep analysis of the position]

”This scheme has a Tencent Video vibe to it...”

Su Changxing felt that the previous analysis was sufficient, deciding not to unlock this analysis for now. After all, 3000 Points weren’t a trivial amount, and he would need Points for tonight, better to keep some in reserve for unexpected needs.

Sleep ritual?

Su Changxing pondered for a long time, then sat upright on the sleeping bag, folded his hands together, and muttered, ”I’m getting ready to sleep now, may the Divine Spirits bless me with a good sleep.”

With that, he crawled into the sleeping bag and fell asleep.

”Beep, beep, beep~”

Su Changxing slowly awakened. It was completely dark outside, with the pale moonlight streaming in from the windowsill.

”Seven or eight hours, did I sleep that long?”

He set an alarm for 11 p.m. before sleeping, just in case, but didn’t expect to actually sleep right up to the alarm time.

However, Su Changxing felt incredibly comfortable. The previous pain and exhaustion in his body were completely gone, and he didn’t feel any strong hunger either.

”This doesn’t make any scientific sense. I’ve recovered, but without expending bodily energy.”

Su Changxing thought for a moment and checked the position log on his phone.

[I prayed to the Gods before sleeping, but failed, -4 Mysteriousness]

[I had a decently good sleep, +10 Mysteriousness]

[The sleeping environment was inadequate, -2 Mysteriousness]

[Maintained good Spirit, +1 Mysteriousness]

Failed at praying to the Gods?

”Does that mean it can succeed? Also, why the heck did I lose 4 points of Mysteriousness? Does failing at praying mean it’s lame, so the Mysteriousness drops?”

Su Changxing couldn’t quite understand how this so-called Mysteriousness was determined; it felt very mystical.
