The Extraordinary Life of a Certain American Comic...

The fire was raging.

boom!

Dickon's expression froze at that moment, and then, in the raging fire, he was burned to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the soul is burned to ashes.

next second.

"Ding! 』

Kill successful!

Gained Extraordinary Points: 200

Current Extraordinary Points: 236

"Ding! 』

Defeating the chosen target grants an additional "Ability Ascension Card *1".

"..."

As two gleaming golden fangs fell to the ground, a system notification sounded in Locke's mind.

Locke's eyebrows twitched as he heard the system's notification.

Ability Enhancement Card?

New gadget.

What is it used for?

Locke had a thought and looked at his current extraordinary interface.

"Transcendence, Godhood"

Superb Card Slot: "1"

"Superhuman Points: 236"

First card slot: "Vampire Gene"

Ability Level: "A"

"Ability Effects: 'Immortality (You won't die as long as your head isn't severed), Immortality (Your appearance is frozen at this moment), Extraordinary speed, Extraordinary strength, Extraordinary physique...'"

Ability Flaw: "Blood Thirst (Blood is the source of your vitality; you will continue to weaken if you do not consume it for a week)"

[Ability Note: This ability can be further improved by consuming 500 Extraordinary Points.]

"..."

Locke glanced at it briefly and then ignored it.

Because, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he doesn't plan to upgrade the 'vampire gene' any further.

Further upgrades would reduce the cost-effectiveness.

He already possesses the two best advantages of vampires: immortality and eternal youth.

He felt he could accept the remaining negative effects of "Blood Thirst".

Therefore, instead of spending 500 Extraordinary Points to upgrade again, he might as well save his Extraordinary Points to open a second card slot and fulfill his "Superman dream".

Locke thought to himself, then focused his gaze on the inventory that had suddenly appeared on the interface.

This item wasn't originally in the inventory.

turn on.

into the eye.

Ten empty spaces came into Locke's view, and a colorful card quietly placed in one of the spaces caught his attention.

Locke looked in the direction of the colorful card.

Item Name: "Ability Enhancement Card"

Item Quality: "S"

Item Description: "Designates one ability to upgrade or enhance it without consuming Extraordinary Points."

Drop Source: "There is a chance to drop this item by defeating Destiny characters."

Note: "Sublimation is the key!!!"

「升华……」

Locke looked at the card's description thoughtfully. After a moment's thought, he opened the card and selected the only ability he currently possessed: "Vampire Gene".

next second.

He then saw three bold exclamation marks pop up in his field of vision, and at the same time, an image appeared in his field of vision.

That's the effect after upgrading the vampire gene from A-rank to the maximum S-rank, and then using the Ascension Card.

"This is……"

"Vampires?"

Locke raised an eyebrow as he looked at the effect image that appeared because the system was worried that he would misuse the card.

After upgrading the vampire gene to the maximum level, you can use an Ascension Card to directly transform it into a vampire gene?

hiss!

and many more.

Aren't vampires and blood clans the same thing?

Locke blinked.

Just then.

His ears twitched slightly, snapping him out of his daze. He turned to look outside the abandoned hangar.

Debbie and her Sentinel Emergency Response Team are almost here.

Never mind, we'll talk about it when we get back.

Locke withdrew his gaze, looked at the two gleaming golden fangs that had fallen to the ground, thought for a moment, then bent down, put away a ring, turned around and left the spot. He found a place next to Brown, rolled his eyes, and fell backward.

Its main feature is that you can fall asleep as soon as you lie down.

One minute later.

The lights came on, and an armored vehicle sped in from outside. Upon seeing a row of agents lying at the hangar entrance, it braked suddenly.

next second.

The armored vehicle doors opened, and a large group of emergency response special police officers stepped out.

And Debbie too.

"Boss!"

Debbie gasped as she saw Locke lying with Brown, his eyes closed and his suit torn. Her doll-like face contorted with fear and panic, and she took off running toward Locke.

The emergency combat special police immediately formed tactical formations, with some entering the abandoned hangar and others forming defensive formations to guard the surrounding area.

"Safety."

"Safety."

"Ann... has found a survivor."

The emergency response special police who entered the abandoned hangar found Blade, whose clothes were tattered and whose face was swollen like fermented dough.

Although Blade looked terrible, he was still alive.

Debbie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the voice confirming her survival through her earpiece. Then, looking at Locke, who had been moved into her arms and had his eyes tightly closed, she quickly looked up and shouted, "Damn it, has the ambulance arrived yet?"

An emergency response SWAT officer immediately responded.

"It's already on its way."

"Ah~~"

"...Boss?"

Debbie paused for a moment, then looked down at Locke in her arms. Locke's eyelids twitched a few times, and her eyes lit up. She quickly shook him gently and called out, "Boss, boss."

Locke's eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it took him several attempts to finally open his eyes.

He stared blankly at Debbie, whose doll-like face was streaked with tears, blinked, and seemed to forget that he didn't recognize her.

Debbie was terrified when she saw Locke's lifeless and empty eyes.

"Boss?"

"..."

Locke did not respond, his eyes becoming blank as he looked around, his brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

after awhile.

Consciousness seemed to return at this moment.

Locke looked at Debbie again: "Debbie."

Debbie's tearful face lit up with surprise.

"Boss, do you still remember me?"

"certainly."

Locke raised his hand and rubbed his temples, then stood up with Debbie's help.

Debbie looked cautiously at Locke, whose face was somewhat pale.

"Boss, are you alright? The ambulance is on its way."

"fine."

Locke pressed his right hand to his forehead and shook his head. "What happened?"

Debbie shook her head: "The satellite imagery was distorted; for twenty minutes, we lost sight of this area."

That's good.

Locke thought to himself.

Just then.

Brown, who was standing to the side, also slowly opened his eyes with the help of the emergency combat SWAT team, and then, just like Locke had just done, he issued a three-click combo.

The difference is that Brown was genuinely confused, while Locke was acting.

But judging from Debbie's performance...

His acting skills are alright.

after awhile.

Debbie helped Locke up, and the SWAT team helped Brown up. The group entered the abandoned hangar together, and there they saw Blade slowly opening its eyes as the SWAT team patted it.

With a head that didn't quite resemble a pig's head, but at that moment it looked remarkably like one, the blade, after five seconds, also uttered a question from the depths of its soul.

"What happened?"

"..."
