Chapter 27 - Copy - The Power of the Beast!

'This damn thing got supernatural powers?'

As he looked at the golden text bar, Chen Yu barely had a thought flash through his mind before he abruptly rushed forward, ignoring the roaring neighbor, and tapped him right on the chest.

[(A+ Grade) (Golden) Beast's Strength: With accumulating anger, the strength can grow infinitely without limit.]

[Would you like to copy the "Beast's Strength" ability?]

[Yes/No]

"Holy shit!"

"It can actually be copied a second time!"

Chen Yu's pupils dilated, his breathing halted, and he forcefully tapped again!

[Copy confirmed]

As the text changed, he saw a strand of golden light burst forth from inside his own body. Then came a strange warm flow, sweeping through his entire body.

'I've become a person with supernatural powers...'

'Am I a person with supernatural powers now?'

As the golden light faded, Chen Yu looked down at his hands, his thoughts calming slightly, and he felt an overwhelming sense of unreality.

Then came uncontrollable ecstasy!

"Damn!"

'I've really become a person with supernatural powers!'

Meanwhile, the chubby neighbor, who Chen Yu had forcefully tapped twice, also gradually regained consciousness from his confused mind. He first looked at the female coach lying on the ground, whose life and death was unknown, then turned to Chen Yu, who was beaming with joy, completely at a loss.

"What... what just happened to me?"

"Brother!" Chen Yu hugged his neighbor tightly, pulling him into an embrace. "You're truly a godsend! Absolutely brilliant!"

"Huh?" The chubby neighbor was even more bewildered.

"Look at the title above your head!"

Upon hearing this, the neighbor instinctively turned his head to look at a floor-length mirror beneath the stage, and he saw that his previous title [Useless Otaku] had changed to the much more imposing [Not to Be Underestimated].

"It changed again?"

"Brother! I'm proud of you!" Chen Yu was so moved he almost cried out, "You are my hero!"

"Ah..." Flattered by Chen Yu's atmosphere, the neighbor also showed a gleeful expression.

'This guy's a gem!'

'He's a treasure!'

With these thoughts echoing in his head, Chen Yu found his neighbor more and more likable.

The first time he "fleeced" someone, he had scored an "A+" grade transcendent power.

This chubby guy was really a beginner's gift from heaven!

With such a treasure, shouldn't he be turned back into a [Useless Otaku]? And then refreshed a few more times?

At this thought, Chen Yu immediately let go of his enthusiastic embrace, took out his phone, and dialed the police.

"Beep—"

"Hello, this is the Qingcheng City Police Response Center." A formulaic male voice came from the receiver.

Chen Yu, struggling to contain his excitement, shook hands with his equally excited neighbor and yelled into the phone, "Hello? Is this 110? There's been an assault here. Yeah, it's serious, come quickly."

The chubby neighbor's joyful expression instantly froze.

"Yes, right! It's an intentional assault." Chen Yu maintained his handshake, appraised the neighbor up and down, and added, "He's quite skilled, you better send more people."

Chubby Neighbor: "..."

After hanging up, Chen Yu, suppressing the excitement in his heart, hugged his neighbor again. "Brother, no more words needed, I'll follow you from now on."

Chubby Neighbor: "... You... you called the police?"

"Yeah." Chen Yu nodded. "What about it?"

"You actually called the police!" The chubby neighbor stepped back half a step in disbelief. "Why would you do that?"

"Someone attacked another person." Chen Yu pointed at the female coach lying on the stage, his face full of confusion. "I definitely had to call the police."

"But... I was the one who hit her!" The neighbor shouted in panic.

"I know. The assailant is you."

"I hit her, and you still call the police?"

"Even if my mom did it, I'd still have to call the police!" Chen Yu was shocked, reaching out to touch the neighbor's forehead. "Are you okay?"

"But aren't we... aren't we friends?" The chubby neighbor couldn't comprehend.

"If you find a crime, you must punish it! Because you're my friend, I must 'punish' you even more! Didn't you report me in the same way initially?" Chen Yu also couldn't understand, "Friends should support each other! Don't you understand the meaning of 'support'?"

"But... but..." The neighbor's eyes sparked with stars, "Supporting each other among friends is right, but who said anything about supporting each other in breaking the law?"

"Are you strange?" Chen Yu frowned, "Isn't prison a place for reform?"

"Yes."

"Doesn't reform mean to educate?"

"Yes... yes, it does."

"Then is it wrong for me to want to educate you?"

Neighbor: "..."

"Not... really..." The chubby neighbor was confused, hands clutching his head helplessly, anxiously, "So, you calling the police was right?"

"Ah!" Chen Yu collapsed his hands in despair, "Am I not right then?"

Chubby Neighbor: "I... you... this... I..."

"You're confused," Chen Yu suddenly became indifferent, reaching out his hand to pat the neighbor's shoulder, "Your mind is confused."

Chubby Neighbor: "..."

Chen Yu: "So, go to prison and cool down for a bit."

Chubby Neighbor: "..."

The police response in Qingcheng City was very fast.

In no time, two teams of police arrived.

After investigating the scene, they unsurprisingly took the still baffled neighbor away.

Chen Yu also felt relieved, went back home, and started to study his newly "copied" transcendent ability.

While studying, he reflected.

"My brother, Fatty, is truly a good person."

...

The Power of the Beast.

With the accumulation of anger, the strength could grow infinitely.

But without anger, it apparently was utterly useless.

After a brief experiment, during the night.

Chen Yu sat at the computer desk of the neighbor next door, face serious, browsing the internet for information about "transcendent abilities."

He had been searching for seven or eight hours already.

In the human transcendent world, it seemed this ability had never appeared before.

The closest was a famous transcendent's "Rage Flame."

"Rage Flame: The higher the temperature of the flames released, the more intensely it is consumed by rage, gradually losing its essence and falling into madness."

From online reports on that transcendent, "anger" became an obstacle that hindered his performance.

Yet even so, in the human transcendent world, that person was a famously A+ tier transcendent. Within the human race, he also held a terrifyingly high social status.

One of the nuclear weapons against foreign races.

Beyond that, there was no news about abilities related to "anger."

"So this ability of mine..."

Looking down at his own delicate palms, Chen Yu furrowed his brow, "When I'm not angry, it doesn't seem like I have any ability at all."

After hesitating for a moment, he stood, walked to the large punching bag he just bought, closed his eyes, and started summoning his anger.

He recalled the memory of being locked up in prison...

"..."

"...No, I was pretty happy in prison."

He then recalled the memory of being brainwashed by the Human Security Bureau.

"..."

"..."

"...Here it comes. I feel it."

Suddenly opening his eyes, Chen Yu tentatively clenched his fist, aimed at the punching bag in front, and struck fiercely!

"Bang!!"

...
