Book 4: Chapter 62:1: Third Awakening, Catastrophe, and Space, Part 1
Unfortunately, the purchase of LMD was capped at 100 points, which was 10,000,000 LMD. Who knew why such a thing would be limited?
The moment Chen Heng stepped into the lobby, a hotel clerk immediately came over and asked, “Sir, is there anything I can help you with?” Of course, that referred to legitimate demands.
“No, it’s alright. I’m going out for a bit.” Chen Heng waved his hand, indicating he did not need any help.
A five-star hotel was pricy for a reason. At the very least, the service would be attentive. Of course, it was expensive too. Standard single rooms cost 800 LMD, but Chen Heng and the others stayed in deluxe single rooms. Each night cost 2,000 LMD. Furthermore, he had booked the rooms for a week for a total of 42,000 LMD.
This hotel also provided free room service for deluxe single rooms like Chen Heng’s. Furthermore, the food tasted pretty good; Nightingale did not like it because she was not used to it.
On top of that, Chen Heng had the chance to see the tigress Swire by staying in this hotel. That was right, the filthy rich Swire of Lungmen.
What a joke! Since he was here in Lungmen, why wouldn’t he meet her? He had to meet three people in particular—Ch’en, Swire, and Hoshiguma.
[TL Note: Ch’en, Swire, and Hoshiguma are all members of the Lungmen Guard Department, and they frequently work together. Here is Swire’s profile: /wiki/Swire/Story. Here is Hoshiguma’s profile: /wiki/Hoshiguma/Story.]
Chen Heng left the hotel and walked toward a dark corner nearby.
After Chen Heng’s figure disappeared into the darkness, two sneaky figures followed him.
Bang! Bang! Two heavy objects fell to the ground. As Chen Heng looked at the two lying on the ground, he raised his leg to stomp on their arms.
“Argh!” Chen Heng had knocked out the two hoodlums earlier. However, the intense stimulation and pain roused them.
These two hoodlums were not good people. They were from downtown’s Sirius Gang, accustomed to larceny. They wanted to get some money from Chen Heng by following him into this alley.
These people had not sinned to the point of deserving death. Otherwise, Chen Heng would have ended them with his sword. However, while he could spare them death, they could not escape punishment. These two frequently bullied the citizens. Chen Heng trampled and broke their arms just to punish them.
Don’t ask why Chen Heng knew. The answer is the Absolute Precognition.
Lungmen’s city structure was quite interesting. The uptown was the area for the rich, and the downtown was the slums.
Wei Yenwu ruled the uptown area; wealthy merchants and politicians made up most of the populace there. The downtown area was the nest of the poor. Although they were under Lungmen’s administration in name, in reality, the Rat King and his daughter’s gang managed it. Even Wei Yenwu and the Lungmen Guard Department could not interfere.
[TL Note: Here is the Rat King’s profile: /wiki/Rat_King.]
Although Cloud Sea Hotel was located in the uptown area, it was extremely close to the downtown area, practically on the border between the two.
Under normal circumstances, downtown gangsters did not dare to cause trouble uptown. The two only came to try their luck. Unexpectedly, they ran into Chen Heng. Of course, it was hard to say whether it was good luck or bad luck.
Chen Heng glanced at the two hoodlums before continuing deeper into the alley. When it became completely dark and lightless, he used his spatial jump to leave Lungmen.
After spatial jumping three times, he finally found a suitable area. Perhaps by coincidence or something, Chen Heng arrived at a forest. After he chopped down a large tree, he sat on its stump. This reminded him of the tree stump by the Vast Sea City beach in his world.
He Who Knows Fate: I’m starting the livestream! I’m starting the livestream! Come and watch if you are interested.
Magus of Flowers: Alright.
Blank Never Loses: Got it.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I’ve already entered.
Efreet: Quickly, start.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, alright, alright. What’s the rush?
After Chen Heng finally got a word in, he tapped the purchase button to buy the Ability Third Awakening as he sat on the stump.
When Chen Heng started his ability awakening, his abilities began affecting his surroundings.
The evolution of his gravity ability resulted in gravity instability in his surroundings. Stones and dirt rose into the air. His attraction ability made them revolve around him like they were trapped in a small whirlwind. His electromagnetic ability spread electric light into the surroundings, even calling down lightning from the sky.
In terms of appearance, the electromagnetic control ability had the most impressive external manifestation of the three—attraction, gravity, and electromagnetic control. However, that was not his strongest ability. The strongest was still his original attraction ability.
Furthermore, after two ability awakenings, the quality of his inner strength was no longer comparable to normal. It was already extremely close to Spiritual Energy. However, it was still just inner strength, after all. No matter how close it got, it could not truly compare to Spiritual Energy.
Chen Heng’s physical body also strengthened to a certain degree.
Simultaneously, the scenes concerning the future flashing in his mind became clearer, and there were many more options.
As his abilities strengthened, the phenomena caused by his abilities became more powerful.
The whirlwind grew larger and turned into a tornado, ripping out the surrounding trees, the number of lightning bolts falling increased gradually, and the surrounding electric light brightened.
Magus of Flowers: Why do I feel there will be a thunderstorm?
Blank Never Loses: So, I’m not the only one thinking that?
Faillen Angel Gabriel: Boss, I thought the same too.
Efreet: Lightning, rubble, and a tornado. If this continues developing, it probably won’t form a thunderstorm but one of those massive tornadoes combined with lightning only seen in those science-fiction films.
Iron Fist Teacher: This is quite a commotion. So, this is what the awakening of a powerhouse looks like? It is very powerful.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Don’t misunderstand. Extreme situations like Chen Heng’s are pretty rare. Chen Heng’s situation is due to special circumstances. My ability awakening did not cause this much of a stir.
Queen of Ice and Snow: Chen Heng’s ability awakening can cause such a large commotion likely because of the abilities he has. That’s not referring to the strength of his abilities, more that the external manifestations of his abilities when they awaken are powerful. Look at his Absolute Precognition; it doesn’t show any external manifestations, right?
