Cataclysm: The Enhancement Warlock's Rebirth

The light in front of Jiang Xiao's eyes was slightly distorted.

In an instant, a semi-transparent blue panel appeared out of thin air.

[Connecting to the system hub...]

[Player selection in progress...]

[Blessing extraordinary talents...]

[Some of the creations are being recycled...]

[Intercepting a higher-level creature...]

[Setting up altar items...]

【…】

In my field of vision, lines of text flashed by rapidly like a waterfall.

At that moment, the world seemed to have been put on pause.

Inside the living room.

Television, sofa, water dispenser...

Many objects began to shift from real to illusory, like images with poor signal strength, flickering a few times before mysteriously disappearing into thin air.

Opposite them, the expressions of fear on Song Yu and Lu Wanwan's faces froze completely, turning them into statues.

The tears that slid down their cheeks also seemed to float eerily in mid-air.

Jiang Xiao was also bound by this great force and could not move.

However, he was confident and remained calm.

The apocalyptic catastrophe arrived as expected, just as he had hoped.

Only in this way can he settle accounts with those who have trampled on and hurt him, one by one, for the blood debts owed.

half an hour.

The view is clear.

The overwhelming power that had suppressed everything vanished suddenly.

Congratulations on becoming a hero player!

You have acquired the extraordinary talent – ​​"Enhancement of All Things".

With a slight thought, Jiang Xiao's personal panel was clearly displayed before him:

[Character]: Jiang Xiao

Race: Human

[Identity]: Hero

[Strength]: Mid-Tier 1

[Talent]: Enhancement of All Things (Unique): Consumes 1 Potential Point to enhance any substance, granting it one trait and a 7% chance to gain an additional skill. (Enhancement is completed by touching the target with your finger.)

[Potential Points]: 2/2 (Resets automatically at 00:00 daily; unused potential points do not accumulate)

Just like in his previous life, his innate abilities remained unchanged.

Jiang Xiao glanced at them briefly, then turned to look at the two people opposite him.

Lu Wanwan and Song Yu stared blankly ahead, clearly checking their respective control panels.

Jiang Xiao's mind raced, and she immediately burst into exaggerated laughter:

"Haha! Great, I've become a hero player!"

"I was worried about how to handle the aftermath, but now that a new era has arrived, there's no need to worry anymore!"

Song Yu and Lu Wanwan came to their senses and looked at each other in bewilderment.

They both saw a deeper unease in each other's eyes.

Having just been drugged and kidnapped, encountering this incomprehensible supernatural phenomenon only intensified their fear.

Jiang Xiao stopped laughing and turned to scrutinize the two of them, revealing a wary expression.

"You two! Have you acquired any extraordinary talents?" he asked in a deep voice.

Song Yu shook his head dejectedly: "I...I didn't."

Jiang Xiao naturally knew this.

She later became a player thanks to the help of the kind-hearted Lu Wanwan.

Lu Wanwan's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lower lip, seemingly hesitating whether or not to tell the truth.

Jiang Xiao doesn't indulge her.

Without any hesitation, he threw a punch, which landed squarely on the opponent's soft abdomen.

"Well!"

Lu Wanwan was in so much pain that she curled up, feeling as if her internal organs were out of place, her stomach was churning, and she almost vomited.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" she pleaded hastily.

Jiang Xiao looked down at her and said coldly, "My patience is limited. Confess!"

In fact, he was well aware of the talent that Lu Wanwan had acquired.

But in order to avoid revealing his identity as a reincarnated person, he had to make the other party say it himself.

"Lucky."

"My talent is a lucky aura, which can enhance my luck and make me even more fortunate."

Despite the cramping pain in her abdomen, Lu Wanwan said.

She felt that the system must have made a mistake.

The situation I am currently facing is a complete disaster; where is the luck in it?

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiao threw another powerful punch.

"Dare to lie?!"

Jiang Xiao warned sternly, "Don't forget, I'm a player too! A hero's talent effects are not just simple passive buffs. Explain yourself clearly, or else..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his cold gaze and clenched fists were more intimidating than any words.

""transport"."

Lu Wanwan was terrified of being beaten, so she hurriedly explained her abilities like a flood of beans.

"The skill effect is to grant the blessing power of the user's 'Lucky Aura' to friendly units, giving them a 30-minute luck bonus."

She took a breath and quickly added, "However... there is a 5-day cooldown period after using the skill."

"You didn't lie?"

Jiang Xiao grabbed the other woman's long hair, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.

"no."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Lu Wanwan shook her head repeatedly, "I can... I can use the skill right now."

She tried to prove her worth in exchange for safety.

"Give it a try."

Having succeeded in his plan, Jiang Xiao finally let go.

Lu Wanwan didn't dare to be negligent and quickly tried it.

Soon, a faint glow appeared on her fingertips, as if a cluster of golden flames had been lit.

She glanced at it curiously at first, but when she heard Jiang Xiao snort, she quickly pointed at it from a distance.

The golden light fell on Jiang Xiao, but vanished in an instant.

[You have gained the buff: Great Luck - Your luck is increased, lasting 30 minutes.]

A notification message has been received.

Without hesitation, Jiang Xiao immediately enhanced himself.

The human body also falls under the category of matter.

He had experimented with this in his previous life; he could strengthen himself once every 24 hours.

You have consumed 1 potential point...

[You enhance the player (Jiang Xiao)...]

[Gained Trait: "Strong LV4"]

[Gained skill: "Skin Hardening LV9"]

You have been promoted to the upper rank of Tier 1!

[Strength: Your physical fitness has improved.]

[Skin Hardening: Active Skill - The player's skin instantly hardens into a rock-like state, greatly increasing defensive capabilities and making them resistant to damage from swords and blunt weapons.]

Jiang Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

With this skill at his disposal, he can disguise himself as a physical enhancement superhuman to avoid being noticed.

In addition, the skin hardening skill makes you both durable and capable of dealing damage, which is quite advantageous in the early stages of a disaster.

It has to be said that the talent for luck is truly powerful, with a 7% chance of hitting the target on the first try.

It was worth it to have planned ahead and keep Lu Wanwan under my control.

"Stay put."

Jiang Xiao finished speaking, ignored the two still-shaken women, and quickly walked into the room.

On the bed in the bedroom.

Many sex toys were scattered haphazardly, mostly various kinds of neck rings.

These are the items he bought in advance to enhance his abilities.

Because I was afraid that these items would be randomly reclaimed by the system, I bought dozens of them as backups.

Jiang Xiao took out a black neck ring, touched it with his finger, and silently chanted "enhance."

You have consumed 1 potential point...

[You enhanced the "sexy neck ring"...]

[Acquired Trait: "Born Bond LV5"]

[Gained skill: "Taming LV7"]

……

【Name: Erotic Neck Ring】

Grade: Excellent (Green)

Star Rating: ★★

[Durability: 90/90]

【Feature: Contractual Bond (lv5): Players complete the master-servant relationship by wearing the collar around their neck. The master can issue basic commands to the servant through a mental link, such as follow, attack, stop, etc. (Once the player actively wears the collar, it cannot be removed.)】

[Skill: Taming (lv7) - The player issues a "punishment" command to the servant using mental power, causing the collar to tighten instantly, applying a suffocating restraint to the wearer's neck.]

[Note: If you don't listen, I really need to take control of you!]

……

"All done!"

Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

In his previous life, he explored and practiced many times, and discovered that when his enhancement ability was applied to an item, the first enhancement would always produce characteristics and skills related to the item's own function.

This erotic collar was a prop he accidentally created to deal with non-spirit-based hero players below the third tier, and it was extremely useful.

Now, using it to control Lu Wanwan and ensure she can be used for one's own purposes is the perfect solution.

He picked up the neck ring and walked towards the living room.
