Before long, Bai Chen witnessed the terrifying nature of the mist corpses that Sister Dao had described.

As the fog thickened and the white mist completely transformed into a blood-red fog, one after another, staggering figures appeared silently in the fog like ghosts.

Their faces were bluish-purple, and most of their bodies were deformed. Each one looked strange. Some had a dozen or so heads growing on their chests and walked unsteadily. Some had their bodies curled up like springs and walked bouncy. And some were even worse, with all their bones broken, leaving only a thin human skin covering their flesh and blood, crawling on the ground like a half-filled plastic garbage bag tightly bound...

Although they do have a rough human-like shape, their actual appearance is not very close to humanoid.

"Wait... what the hell is all this stuff?"

Hiding on a rooftop, Bai Chen watched the hordes of fog monsters roaming the streets below with a subtle expression.

"I don't know, who knows what that is?"

She took a few steps back, staring intently at the wall, and spoke calmly.

"Also, you've been exposed."

"?"

Just as the other person finished speaking, like a spring that had been compressed and then released, a half-rotten head suddenly appeared in front of Bai Chen, its dark, hollow eye sockets staring straight at him.

Below that head were spiraling, concentric circles of extremely elastic, pale flesh.

"boom--!!!"

Before Bai Chen could react, a whooshing sound came from the side, like a motorcycle speeding by, and a vicious spiked club slammed straight into his head.

...It really was a thunderous roar.

The next second, the head was blasted off, along with the other half of the body.

After blasting the thing away with a spiked club, Qingyi grabbed his hand without a word and pulled him to the back.

Unlike her previous timid and shy first impression, she unexpectedly proved to be extremely reliable at this moment.

"Up to the flat top."

After glancing at the wall over there, Sister Dao quickly made a decision. With a wave of her staff, two points of starlight fell on Bai Chen and Qing Shiyi respectively.

As the starlight entered his body, Bai Chen could clearly feel that his weight had become much lighter in an instant. With just one leap, he directly jumped onto the four-meter-high flat roof in the center of the rooftop, as light as a swallow.

"A magic system, huh...?"

Feeling the changes in his body, Bai Chen looked thoughtful.

Although on the surface, the [Paper Painting Potion] that I developed seems to be more effective, that potion only makes the body as light as paper, unlike the opponent's magic which also comes with auxiliary effects such as enhanced jumping ability.

It can only be said that both have their own merits.

"What, isn't she coming up?"

Looking down at Qingyi, who was still holding a spiked club and guarding the rooftop, Bai Chen looked at Dao Jie beside him.

I don't know when, but the other person put on a pair of glasses for me.

"She's better suited to guarding the lower levels... Oh well, see for yourself."

Shaking her head, Sister Dao took off her glasses and handed them to him.

"Don't underestimate her. Among the four of us, she's the only one who awakened her talent early on."

……talent?

Bai Chen raised an eyebrow and took the glasses.

When he put on his glasses and looked down again, the world in front of him had undergone a subtle change. On Qing Shiyi's head below, in addition to the original ID and level, there was now an extra green health bar. Correspondingly, the fog monsters that had begun to swarm upstairs also had red health bars appearing above their heads.

Logically, under the shroud of this crimson mist, the red health bar should be difficult to distinguish, but from the perspective of the glasses, the red health bar appears exceptionally clear.

In addition to their health bars, the fog monsters also have corresponding levels marked above their heads, with most being level seven or eight. Occasionally, you can see one that is over level ten, but they are very rare.

Judging from this perspective, these fog monsters are indeed not very strong.

In fact, not only the fog monster below, but also the swordswoman next to him, all had health bars above their heads. However, the health bars were displayed in blue, the color of friendly units, and even had detailed health breakdowns.

In this mode, his health is displayed as 110 points, while the health above the head of the girl next to him is 320 points. If we divide it by 1 point of constitution for 10 points of health, the opponent's constitution is at least 32, which is three times that of him.

As for the Qing ritual below... her health points reached a full 620.

(...The free attribute points given by level alone are definitely not enough to reach this number, so there must be other ways to increase attributes... As for Qing Shiyi, her HP should have a talent bonus...)

"Is this her talent?"

Looking down at the level twelve mist monster below, which had lost most of its health to a single sweep of the girl's spiked club and was sent flying, Bai Chen turned to look at Sister Dao beside him and became interested.

"It is very rude of you to ask about someone else's talents, and I hope you understand that."

With a slight pout, Sister Dao took the glasses back.

"Also, she lent me these glasses; she only has one pair."

"No... are you really that petty?"

As the glasses were removed, the world returned to normal. Bai Chen glanced at Sister Dao, who had put her glasses back on, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Also, apologies for my rudeness, but talent is something that's hard to hide, isn't it? After all, it represents a system, and even if you don't know the name, you can guess what it is."

"Oh, then tell me about your talent."

"Well……"

"Stop pretending. To be matched with us at such a low level, you must have awakened some talent. Do you really think we're all idiots?"

She turned and glanced at him, a cold smile on her face.

"But don't get too cocky. I've seen people with lower awakened talents than you. One person was only level two when they awakened their talent. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your reach..."

"【Pharmacopoeia】"

"What?"

"I told you my talent is called 'Pharmacopoeia,' and these are some potions I made for you to try out."

Rolling his eyes, Bai Chen tossed one of each of the five potions he had developed to the other party.

"How about that? Are you satisfied now?"

"[Pharmacopoeia]...No wonder you were able to save that person on the bus."

After taking the bottles of medicine and glancing at them, Sister Dao seemed slightly surprised. Her eyes lit up when she saw the incense stick that seemed to refresh her.

"Do you have any more cigarettes? Give me a few more."

Seeing this, Bai Chen didn't hesitate and simply threw the remaining half pack of cigarettes over.

Since accumulating a certain number of "medicine points", basic products like "energizing incense" have become practically free for him. The cost is incredibly low, and he doesn't even feel bad about giving them away.

"Here, take it."

After receiving the cigarettes, Sister Dao reacted decisively, readily taking off her glasses and handing them to him.

"These glasses are linked to Qingyi. They're mainly for making it easier to coordinate with teammates. They don't have that effect normally; Qingyi is the main focus."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Bai Chen gave the other person an OK sign and put his glasses back on.

"By the way, speaking of which, since they have health bars, is your conclusion that those monsters are immortal because they have invincible health?"

"Pretty much. In any case, you can't get the health bar to zero; it will lock at one health point."

Dao Jie nodded, quite contentedly lighting a cigarette for herself.

"But correspondingly, they..."

"No help, no support, no healing, you two seem to be having a great time chatting up there, huh?"

Just then, a voice rang out from below.

"Are you two trying to kill me?"

—When her health bar dropped to 20%, the usually shy girl finally couldn't help but speak up.

Dao Jie/Bai Chen: "………"
