Chapter 68 was quite fruitful.
Li Wei returned to his rented apartment, took a shower, and lay on the bed feeling refreshed.
He closed his eyes and dozed off for a while, and felt all the fatigue from the past few days disappear.
I've been busy dealing with the scarecrows lately and haven't had a chance to rest properly.
To his surprise, just when Maroni was about to be brought to justice, this incident occurred halfway through.
Li Wei chuckled self-deprecatingly, picked up the wine glass from the bedside table, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I should have known. Someone who can fight the Falkner family in Gotham for so long can't be a simple character."
Today's events taught Li Wei a lesson, leaving a very deep impression on him.
This made him realize a very serious problem: he had underestimated the indigenous people of this world.
Li Wei initially thought that understanding the plot would give him an edge, but after truly immersing himself in this world, he realized that he had oversimplified things.
"Is this world real, or is it just a game as 'Second World' claims to be?"
Sitting on the bed, Li Wei couldn't help but start to let his mind wander.
Having been in this world for so long, he has become increasingly doubtful about its reality.
As things stand, this is practically a real world—if you don't consider leaving the game.
"It's too early to think about these things now. Let's think about what to do next first."
Although it's a game, he increasingly feels that it's a real world.
The key issue is that he still doesn't know what constitutes clearing this dungeon, and he can't stay stuck here indefinitely.
Li Wei shook his head, pulling himself out of his thoughts, banishing all distractions, and avoiding being affected by negative emotions.
Leaning back on the sofa, he began to take stock of what he had gained during this period.
The first thing to take stock of was reputation. During this period, he had been busy fighting Klein and clearing out Maroni's forces, so Levi had no time to take stock of his gains.
Li Wei Chen
[Reputation]: 1297
【Strength】: 0
[Agility]: 0
[Intelligence]: 6
[Physical Constitution]: 3
[Freedom Point]: 3
【Damage Immunity (Level 1)】: Active skill. Grants immunity to all incoming damage for 3 seconds after use. Cooldown: 24 hours.
Upon opening the attribute panel, Li Wei was slightly surprised by the attributes displayed there.
Next to the reputation column, the number '1297' is clearly written.
Li Wei stared blankly for a moment as he looked at his reputation, which was already close to 1300 points.
He was immediately overcome with joy, and even the injustice of the judicial system was temporarily forgotten.
He never imagined that simply killing Klein would bring such a great reward.
Seeing his reputation skyrocket and the three attribute points that followed, Li Wei felt much better.
What surprised him most was that, in addition to attribute points, he also got another chance to draw a skill.
Last time he drew the active skill "damage immunity," I wonder what skill he'll draw this time.
Thinking about this, Li Wei felt a sense of anticipation.
He thought for a moment, then focused his mind, held his breath, and looked at the attribute panel.
[Player's reputation has exceeded 1000, granting one skill draw opportunity. Would you like to use it?]
"Yes, begin skill extraction!"
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Li Wei was filled with irrepressible joy and immediately chose to draw.
Now that we have resources, the first thing to do is to convert them into combat power.
[Skill drawing in progress...]
With a notification, the spinning wheel beeped in Li Wei's mind.
The sound didn't last long, only about 5 seconds later, with a "beep," a notification came to Li Wei's mind that the extraction was successful.
[Skill acquisition complete. Congratulations to the player for obtaining the skill: Hearing Enhancement (Level 1)]
【Hearing Enhancement (Level 1)】: Passive skill, slightly improves the player's hearing. With this skill, you no longer have to worry about someone whispering behind your back.
Li Wei was somewhat taken aback when he saw the skill he had just drawn.
To be honest, he felt that the hearing enhancement skill wasn't very useful.
After all, this is Gotham, a city known for its violent crime.
However, this skill is a passive skill, meaning it is always active.
From this perspective, it seems to have some effect, but it's unclear what impact it will have on him.
Looking at the 3 attribute points he had just gained, Li Wei thought for a moment and decided not to rush to add them.
He plans to use attribute points only when he needs them next time.
Based on his previous experience, Li Wei found that reserving a few attribute points for use at crucial moments was a very good choice.
After taking stock of his spoils, Li Wei lay contentedly on the bed.
He had just closed his eyes and was not yet in the mood to fall asleep when he heard a creaking sound from above.
If I'm not mistaken, that sound must have come from something heavy falling onto the bed.
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Li Wei's ears.
What puzzled Li Wei was that he remembered very clearly that no one lived upstairs from him.
Li Wei remembers clearly that, to ensure his safety, all the apartments upstairs, downstairs, and next door were empty.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard hot, heavy breathing above him, followed by the sound of flesh colliding violently.
Hearing the continuous panting sounds, Li Wei was completely astonished.
Judging from the sound, it seems like a couple has started working, or maybe they're not a couple, but brothers, who knows?
Looking at the clock on the wall, Li Wei realized it was only a little past 6 p.m., and the sky had just begun to darken.
Li Weike had never heard any strange noises coming from upstairs before, but this time he could even hear the 'thump-thump' sound of the chair hitting the floor.
If one has a slightly richer imagination, it's practically the same as watching it live.
From this perspective, although his so-called hearing enhancement is only at level one, it seems very suitable for eavesdropping.
At first, Li Wei listened with great interest, but after a while, he found it a bit boring.
After listening for a while, Li Wei started to get annoyed.
In fact, he had long since stopped wanting to listen, but the loud crashing sounds kept drilling into his ears.
"Dude, you should take a break."
Li Wei muttered something to himself and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.
Ten minutes had passed, but it felt like an eternity to Li Wei.
He never imagined that one day he would feel that time was passing too slowly.
Just as Li Wei couldn't hold back any longer and was about to go upstairs to give a slight reminder...
Before he could get up, he heard two heavy breathing sounds coming from upstairs, followed by silence.
Li Wei let out a long sigh of relief, then lay sprawled out on the bed.
It was finally over; the couple upstairs finally stopped tormenting him.
But while lying in bed, for some reason, a seductive and sexy black figure suddenly flashed through Li Wei's mind.
"I don't know what you're doing..."
Li Wei muttered something to himself, then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In the early hours of the morning, Li Wei was once again awakened by a loud crashing sound. He was starting to dislike this so-called hearing enhancement.
I originally thought this was a great skill, excellent for home eavesdropping and for handling cases outside the home.
But to Li Wei's utter surprise, he himself was the first to suffer greatly.
