Chapter 38: Promises Last Forever
Yes, at this time, Shen Hao had already gotten involved and connected to the main command channel.
He hadn’t slept much, only about three hours.
However, he had found an "Energy Potion" from the store, so his condition had somewhat recovered.
Within White Level 3, there were indeed quite a few useful items, this level was more substantial than Shen Hao had anticipated.
Still, there were no items capable of discerning Blood Demons, and the difficulty of leveling up had increased several times.
To ascend to White Level 4, one needed a total of five hundred thousand points, even controlling Blood Demons would require about two thousand of them.
If by killing, almost five thousand were needed.
Additionally, there was his own personal level.
Shen Hao had just checked, his personal level had risen to Level 2, including his Talent level, which seemed to have synchronized with his personal level, also reaching Level 2.
However, leveling up didn’t bring much change to his panel.
[Constitution: 13]
[Spirit: 16]
[Transcendent: 9]
Compared to what he saw in the morning, each had only increased by one point, that is, his overall strength had grown by twenty percent, but his level had already reached Level 2.
This made Shen Hao realize that this level wasn’t a breakthrough in realm, but should only be a composite summary of actual data, and it should not include Talent, only referencing the three major data sets, reflecting the levels of the basic three dimensions.
Otherwise, his strength was definitely more than just Level 2.
But no matter what, gaining points, upgrading the store level, and enhancing the strength level were paths laid out in front of every Chosen One.
"The Blood Demons on your side have always been in a hidden state, without any strength enhancement," Shen Hao said in the channel, "With your current strength and equipment, you should be able to handle it, I won’t come over. Be extra cautious, and report anything unusual immediately."
"Understood!" Liu Ruoxi felt a bit disappointed upon hearing the team leader wouldn’t come.
However, thinking that the team leader had already gotten involved, she also felt a great sense of reassurance.
In just one day, Shen Hao’s strength had already become deeply respected.
With him around, no matter what, the Blood Demons in this city wouldn’t be able to wreak havoc!
Liu Ruoxi’s steps had even become much more steady and firm.
At this moment, Shen Hao was walking towards the armed helicopter that had landed on the field, listening to Dong Gong’s report on the current situation.
The helicopter’s rotor blades whipped up a violent wind that blew his clothes and hair around.
Shen Hao had already made a decision in his heart.
"To the hospital! Which hospital has had the highest patient mortality rate recently?"
"It’s the Third People Hospital," Dong Gong said, his tone equally heavy.
Only just now had they noticed that the death rate in the Third People Hospital had increased significantly in the past month.
This was also considering the possibility of underreporting.
The entire hospital, as if invisibly, had become a Demon Cave, a den belonging to monsters, continuously devouring human lives!
"Then let’s go to that one!" Shen Hao already had a plan in his heart.
"But, team leader," Dong Gong expressed some concern, "If that hospital has truly been controlled by Blood Demons, it’s not just about hiding. Your level will also need time to rise."
Yes, mere parasitism wouldn’t increase the mortality rate.
The Blood Demon can enhance its ability by devouring humans!
Even if Shen Hao had a powerful talent and had become the Chosen One, it was only for one day, or even just from last night that he had started to enhance his personal level.
For safety’s sake, it would have been best to investigate the hospital after a period of substantial growth in strength.
However, Shen Hao had vetoed this.
"I don’t do things when I’m not certain."
Delaying it a bit further might be more prudent, but this is not a situation where one can be "overly cautious."
Since he had already sensed something was amiss, he needed to deal with it—otherwise, he had to either risk alarming the enemy by preventing people from entering, or pretend to be unaware of the situation and continue to watch as patient after patient who should have been seeking healing fell deeper into the abyss.
Neither option was a choice for Shen Hao.
Moreover, when he said he was confident, it wasn’t just talk.
Although the new mod had not yet been activated, the strongest reassurance he could have was the "Sovereign," but being the Sovereign level, naturally, was not so simple, being a talent only one in a billion Chosen Ones could possibly have.
Among his current three abilities, the first ability, "Cosmic Level Rank," was too mysterious and its specific use was unknown. However, the third ability, "Sovereign Suppression," had already proved its might, for so far Shen Hao had instantly killed any Blood Demon he faced. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The second ability, "Absolute Control Power," also had applications powerful enough to be considered an ace up his sleeve.
At this moment, Shen Hao opened the store, selecting special items one by one, pinning them for easy access.
"Frenzy Pill," "Blood Explosion Pill," "Demon Suppressing Pill," "Blood Rage Pill"...
Just by hearing the names, one could understand the effects of these potions and elixirs.
All were meant for bursting forth with power in a short period of time.
Although all would bring certain side effects, as a Sovereign, could he really be harmed by his own power?
Even if the power was borrowed temporarily, it would still be utterly under his control!
Shen Hao had ample confidence in this!
It was just as well that there were no items like "Evil God’s Power" or "Cursed Power" in the White Level 3 store, otherwise he would dare to use those too!
"Since that is the case," Dong Gong seemed to sense Shen Hao’s confidence and suddenly asked, "Then, should we arrange some cameras for you?"
"In that regard, you decide," Shen Hao wasn’t concerned, "All I can say is, the promises I made before are still valid."
What promise?
To bring death to any Blood Demon that dared to appear before him!
"Understood!" Dong Gong now had no hesitations, "The livestream from Liu Ruoxi’s side was very effective. This shows that we really need some more straightforward and potent demonstrations in our promotional work."
Yes.
Liu Ruoxi’s performance was quite remarkable, although there were mistakes and injuries towards the end, but this only spurred on people’s anger and courage.
If such a young girl could dare to enter such a terrifying, dangerous battlefield, could gamble her life in combat with a Blood Demon, then why couldn’t these people, even if not Chosen Ones, muster at least the courage to confront and fend off such dangers?
This was not some unbeatable monster!
One might say that in this unprecedented war, the importance of the battlefield of public opinion was in no way less significant than that of the actual battlefield, because people must have the courage to face, struggle against, and coordinate, in order to most effectively curb the spread of the Blood Demons and to extract them most efficiently from the masses.
And at this moment, no one possessed a more potent force than Shen Hao did!
Immediately, Dong Gong went to make arrangements.
