After reading the skill description, Sett's eyes widened in shock, and he even stopped scrubbing himself in the bath.

What does real-life damage look like? Does it completely ignore all equipment? Does it blast through an opponent's head through a 90mm steel plate? Or does it blast through the steel plate itself?

Sett wanted to test it out.

However, after glancing around, to prevent his mother from discovering a large hole in the wall while taking a bath that night... he ultimately suppressed the urge to tear the house down.

At the same time, Sett discovered that his first skill, Subduing the Enemy, had also been automatically upgraded.

[To subdue the enemy's power:]

Sett gains 30% bonus movement speed when moving towards an enemy and deals bonus damage on his next two basic attacks, plus an additional 3% of the target's maximum health as damage (Cooldown: 8 seconds) (Level 2)

The damage per punch based on maximum health has been changed from 2% to 3%, and the cooldown time has been changed from 9 seconds to 8 seconds.

Although the improvement is not significant, it is undoubtedly a signal!

This means that as he levels up, the stats of his skills will also increase accordingly.

"So... even if the improvement is just a tiny bit, when I reach level 9, won't it be a direct 10% increase plus no cooldown? At that point, I can dominate the world with ten punches, wouldn't that be wonderful?" Sett thought.

"Leveling up is so awesome! A comprehensive upgrade, skills and physique, nothing's missing!!"

If Sett were to fight that weak, skeleton man again now, he definitely wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

Now, he can easily break the opponent's bones without relying on his passive ability. Even if the opponent self-destructs at the end, Sett can still use his second skill, Charged Punch, which has a high shield to withstand the burst damage.

Having experienced the benefits of leveling up, Sett naturally couldn't wait to turn his attention to "limited-time missions" again.

At level 1, the three timed tasks of running, punching, and squatting alone provided Sett with 150 experience points, almost half of his experience bar.

Now that he has leveled up, new limited-time missions have also appeared:

[Limited-time mission (Countdown: 719 hours 49 minutes 33 seconds)]

[A total of five superhumans have been killed. Current progress: 0/5. Experience points to gain: 1000]

[Running the 100 meters in under 10 seconds without any special abilities will earn you 400 experience points.]

[Complete 10 consecutive 300kg deadlifts to gain 200 experience points]

[Complete 10 consecutive 300kg bench presses to earn 200 experience points]

[Complete 20 consecutive 300kg squats to gain 200 experience points]

At the same time, his experience bar also increased to 2800 points.

This time, the countdown to the limited-time mission has been changed to 720 hours, or 30 days, but at the same time, the difficulty of the mission has also increased significantly.

There are five tasks in total.

Sett wasn't too flustered about the last three tasks: deadlift, bench press, and squat. These are considered the three major exercises in the gym, and they require the most comprehensive physical fitness.

But now that Sett has leveled up... his physical attributes are the least of his worries!

Therefore, taking some time to go to the gym to learn how to exert force in these three exercises, and completing the three tasks to gain 600 experience points is not difficult!

The second task: to run the 100 meters in under 10 seconds without any aids.

Without any ability, Sett's first skill, "Subduing the Enemy," cannot be used for acceleration, nor can his data-driven abilities. He needs to rely solely on his own ability to run under 100 meters in ten seconds, reaching the level of a world-class sprinter.

"With the recovery from training that gave me a half-beast's heart... plus the significant physical improvements I've gained since leveling up... if I work hard on my sprinting skills for a month, I should be able to get 400 experience points," Sett planned.

and so.

What Sett found most challenging, and even perplexing, was actually the first mission.

Killing five superhumans will grant you 1000 experience points.

On average, each superhuman can give 200 experience points, which is almost equivalent to completing three major tasks.

The rewards are indeed generous.

that is...

"What is a superhuman...?" Sett was completely baffled by this term he had never heard of before.

If you want to kill people with superpowers, you need to know what they are and where to find them, right?

Think for a moment.

Sett thought:

"Could it be that the weak skeleton man who tried to assassinate me just now is this so-called superhuman?"

"Hmm...that does seem quite plausible. Following this line of thought, the supernatural ability of the kidney-deficient skeleton man to transform his bones like flowing water is his 'superpower'...hey, that makes a lot more sense, and the logic is sound. I'm such a genius..."

Then, Sett suddenly thought:

"Could I... also be a superhuman? Like Sett's abilities, are they my 'superpowers'?"

"Hmm, there's a slight possibility... but if that's the case, then my ability would be far too complex, wouldn't it? Is it data-driven, a skill, a level, or a mission?"

But Sett didn't dwell on the issue.

Today's experience was incredibly informative, and he has so many questions to consider now.

Let me summarize... Sett thought of his past life as a corporate slave and his experience with logical thinking.

He wrapped his tattered school uniform in a garbage bag, intending to throw it outside later. At the same time, he dried himself off, revealing his angular, unscathed body, and walked towards his bedroom.

He put on the jade dragon robe, took out paper and pen, and began to write and plan:

First, in order to pay off debts and make money, the underground boxing must continue. As for when to fight, we'll wait for the butler's instructions.

With Sergei's promotion and the terrifying boost he received, he is now confident that he can easily defeat even the real Tokyo or even Japan boxing champions. Therefore, he no longer needs to pay too much attention to underground boxing; he can just treat it as a tool to make a steady income and gain a small amount of experience.

Second, the focus of training will shift from boxing to the three major fitness activities and sprinting, so as to secure these 1000 points of easily acquired experience.

If there are three or five superpowered individuals...

Sett pondered for a long time and came up with roughly three possible ideas.

1. You can start with the elderly samurai from yesterday, Kojiro Ishimura.

Seti wondered if the incredibly fast swordsmanship that Kojiro Ishimura displayed yesterday might be his special ability.

The thirteen people mentioned by Aoi Soe followed the former leader of the Aoi Group to a mysterious place, experienced a series of incomprehensible events, and then awakened their respective superpowers. This guess is quite reasonable, isn't it?

Therefore, Sett believed that Kojiro Ishimura might know something.

As for Ishimura Kojiro's contact information... Sett naturally didn't have it.

"I'll ask the butler when I go to the Qinghe Group," Seti thought.

As Kojiro Ishimura's older brother, Taro Ishimura, although Aoi Soe said that he and Kojiro Ishimura weren't very close, he should have no problem knowing about each other.

2. We can start by investigating the superhuman who assassinated him today, and the anonymous text message.

Sett needs to think about this more carefully.

Let's start with the guy who assassinated him. Judging from the way the weak skeleton man fought, he was clearly someone who hadn't received any systematic training. He was able to fight Sett entirely because of his own superpowers.

That guy also said something like, "If you kill Sett, he won't turn into a monster."

Therefore, Sett believes that there must be someone else behind this guy!

This means that there may be another person or organization that can control superhumans, existing in the "dark side" that Sett is unaware of, and plotting to assassinate Sett!

It could also be a gang... There's too much missing information, making it difficult for Sett to make any valid guesses.

However, one thing is certain.

If this "organization that assassinated Sett" is found, regardless of safety, it means Sett has found a large number of superhumans, which may be a way to complete the mission, but it is too risky.

And to find a starting point for this organization...

It was that anonymous text message!

Sett opened his phone and looked through it.

He replied to the text message this morning.

Sett: "Who are you?"

Seven or eight hours have passed, and there has still been no response from the other party.

Sett edited a new text message:

"It's 18:16 PM now... and I'm still alive."

Wait a moment.

There was still no response, like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Alright, let's give up on this path. It's too dangerous, and besides, I know absolutely nothing about it—it's full of unknowns... All I can do now is level up as quickly as possible and learn as much as possible about the extraordinary aspects of this world. After all, who knows what other assassinations might be waiting for me..."

Today's near-mishap ignited a sense of urgency in Sett's heart.

So he picked up his pen and continued writing down the third possible approach to finding someone with superpowers.

3. Start with urban legends.

Tokyo has many urban legends.

For example, a tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful older sister who is three or four meters tall randomly selects a cute little boy at night;

For example, at a certain farm, sows frequently screamed in the middle of the night, and ewes lined up to jump into the river to commit suicide. Is all of this a distortion of human nature, or a moral... cough, wrong channel.
