World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 53 - A Surprise or a Fright

53 -53: A Surprise or a Fright?

After leaving the Su family, Zhang Xiaoman found a deserted place and immediately used the hearthstone to return home.

That evening, he brought out the notebook he had previously used to record System content and organized the monsters he had encountered over the past two days once again.

Excluding the terrifying face that Pei Laoliu had mentioned earlier, the monsters Zhang Xiaoman had personally encountered so far had reached a total of four types.

They were: Shadow Demon, Corpse Demon, Bone-eating Demon, and Parasitic Spirit.

Zhang Xiaoman picked up his pen and mumbled as he wrote in scribbled handwriting in his notebook.

“Shadow Demon, immune to physical attacks, suspected to have Spiritual Attack ability, controls Skills, and highly stealthy.

Control is reduced when manipulating multiple targets simultaneously.

Weakness: Holy Water.

Points provided: 10.”

“Corpse Demon, very fast, lacks vision, has sensitive hearing, likely to be gregarious.

Weakness: Holy Water, high-pitched noises.

Points provided: 5-7.”

“Bone-eating Demon, sharp limbs, stealthy movement, possesses disguise ability.

Once the disguise is removed, speed increases significantly.

Using the Soul Absorption Technique to absorb its disguise effect can yield about 10 energy points.

Weakness: Holy Water.

Points provided: 11-13.”

“Parasitic Spirit, a parasitic type of monster, can launch a Spiritual Attack, attaches to the human body.

The person possessed will fall into a coma, their bodily functions significantly decline, and current medical methods are temporarily unable to recover.

No obvious weaknesses have been discovered yet, but it can be directly destroyed using the Soul Absorption Technique.

Points provided: 5.”

Zhang Xiaoman roughly recorded the information he had gathered so far.

The monster that seemed strongest based on the points provided was the Bone-eating Demon.

Following that, the Shadow Demon, the third being the Corpse Demon, and lastly, the Parasitic Spirit.

Naturally, he understood that these could only serve as a reference.

The actual combat power of the monsters could not be solely judged by the number of points provided but also had to consider a variety of other factors.

Even in different circumstances, faced against different opponents, they could demonstrate unusually potent killing power based on their characteristics.

Zhang Xiaoman wrote up to this point and then suddenly noticed a very interesting phenomenon.

Among these monsters, those whose names contained the character “Demon” seemed to be vulnerable to the effects of Holy Water.

He didn’t know if this was a coincidence but, in any case, he kept a mental note of it.

Thinking of Holy Water, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but frown.

All the Holy Water he had was now depleted during the afternoon.

The main issue was that ordinary Holy Water seemed no longer capable of causing devastating damage to the Bone-eating Demon.

Only by relying on Divine Grace could he quickly kill the adversary.

“It seems I need to further enhance my strength,” he said.

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head helplessly, although he said this, he also understood the rationale.

But his System wasn’t some well-behaved baby that upgrades methodically; instead, it completely depended on luck and played breathtaking gambles.

If lucky, he could draw an Invincible Skill and strike it rich overnight.

If unlucky, he could draw some worthless junk and make no progress.

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but look dejectedly at Jin Bao lying next to him.

If he had that Legendary Skill, then this afternoon, he could have simply charged with a minute of invincibility and cut down those two Bone-eating Demons, not needing to use so much Holy Water!

Sensing his master’s gaze, Jin Bao immediately perked up and scrambled to his feet.

“Go out and play!

Go out and play!”

Jin Bao barked excitedly.

Zhang Xiaoman kicked him aside and said grumpily,

“Scram, scram, scram!

You just went out, and now you’re running off again?

Can’t you ever get enough playtime?

Why can’t you just be like Xiao Hua, who doesn’t mind never going out her whole life!”

“Who’s calling me?”

From the sofa, the just-awoken Zhang Xiaohua yawned in a dazed fashion.

For Jin Bao the dog, Zhang Xiaoman had planned to create a series of dog training strategies over the past few days.

At any rate, he needed to make this creature understand how to use Skills properly first.

Shaking her head, Zhang Xiaoman sighed quietly.

Despite having quit her job, she felt she had even less time now.

Aside from searching for anything peculiar, she had added fitness and dog training to her plans.

Jin Bao bounced around on the spot, and seeing that his owner was ignoring him, he ran over to Xiao Hua and wildly licked the still drowsy, chubby blue cat, causing her to instantly bristle.

Watching the cat and dog suddenly start fighting again, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but silently sigh:

“Loyal dogs are truly incredible.”

After that, Zhang Xiaoman restocked her current equipment.

She first spent 20 points to buy two more bottles of Holy Water.

She turned one of the bottles into ten Holy Water Bullets, while she kept the other bottle to see if there would be a chance to upgrade it into Divine Grace, or even a more advanced item.

Then, she logged onto an online shopping platform and, enduring the pain, spent a five-figure sum of small money to purchase a thermal imaging night vision device.

This time, she was learning from her mistakes.

She specifically chose a more efficient domestic logistics company, hoping that maybe it could be delivered by tomorrow night.

The reason she bought this device was solely because of the Bone-eating Demon she had encountered that day.

This type of monster had a tricky ability to camouflage, especially at night, making them almost impossible to detect if one didn’t pay close attention.

Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t even sure whether these things could actually become optically invisible when completely still.

So, although she didn’t know if thermal imaging would be effective on them, she couldn’t skimp on the money when it came to her own life.

After handling all these matters, Zhang Xiaoman checked her Energy again, with the current display showing: 8/10.

She scratched her head in slight annoyance, muttering that tonight she could only sleep wrapped in her cape; otherwise, if she lost the cape’s bonus of a 10-point Energy limit, she would fall into a state of excessive mental excitement again.

Doing this would not only keep her from sleeping but also continuously consume her excess Energy, which pained her since she always felt that Energy resources were scarce.

However, Zhang Xiaoman was destined not to be able to sleep soundly in bed today.

Midnight, the hour of the Rat.

A dull thud suddenly emanated from Zhang Xiaoman’s bedroom.

The resting Zhang Jinbao and Zhang Xiaohua were frightened and immediately jumped out of their nests; one swiftly dashed under the coffee table while the other barked continuously toward the direction of the noise.

Zhang Xiaoman was standing by the window at the time, staring blankly at the massive figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him, completely baffled.

“What in the world is going on?”

He muttered to himself.

Just before, Zhang Xiaoman had seen that the time had passed midnight, so he decided to take his chance on today’s lottery draw to see if there might be any surprises.

As it turned out, while there were no pleasant surprises, there certainly was a fright.

Before him, a sci-fi-laden, silver-white sedan now occupied most of his room, having crushed his double bed, which had accompanied him for years, into pitiful splinters.
