Chapter 62 - 62: Good Guy, So What If I Upgrade? You Want to Eat All My Points?!
The moment Su Xuan uttered those words, the system, which had been counting down, fell silent.
Su Xuan didn’t have the time to refuse Old Mai’s kind offer. He immediately agreed to take the afternoon off. “Thanks, Boss. I’ll take the afternoon off and go to the hospital to have my wound checked.”
Upon hearing this, Old Mai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately waved his hand, urging Su Xuan like a mother hen, “Go on, go on. You can’t take your wound lightly; if anything were to happen, it wouldn’t be good.”
“Yes.”
With his thoughts on the system, Su Xuan didn’t hesitate. After hearing Old Mai’s words, he promptly left. He happened to be wearing plainclothes, so he didn’t even need to change!
Once Su Xuan left, the other officers took the criminals outside.
Old Mai’s gaze finally shifted away from Su Xuan and roamed over the criminals. It settled on the female criminal of the couple.
Initially, he hadn’t paid much attention to her. It was only because Su Xuan had been injured while trying to apprehend them that he took a closer look. Now, something about her seemed strangely familiar.
“No, Lin, come over and take a look. Tell me if I’m seeing things or if this person really looks so much like…”
“Who?”
“That dynamic duo, remember…”
As for matters at the precinct, Su Xuan temporarily put them aside.
He immediately went home with the system, not paying attention to his wound for the time being.
“System, explain to me, what does upgrading mean?”
God knows, after hearing the system’s words earlier, Su Xuan had been utterly baffled.
No, suddenly wanting to upgrade him, wasn’t that just an attempt to rip him off of his points?
[Ding, host, the system is just a basic system, with many functions yet to be perfected. Your points have reached a level where an upgrade is possible. Would you like to upgrade?]
The system’s robotic voice sounded in Su Xuan’s ears.
Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. “So, if I upgrade, what are the benefits?”
The system fell silent for a moment.
[After upgrading, the points you earn from apprehending criminals can be doubled by multiplying them by the wickedness value.]
Upon hearing this, a spark lit up in Su Xuan’s mind.
But that wasn’t all.
The system knew its host’s quirks all too well.
Points were like money in this world, and who didn’t have an eye on money?
[After upgrading, there will be more tasks involving carrying items.]
Hearing this sentence, Su Xuan’s eyes instantly gleamed.
Damn it.
What was he lacking right now?
Items!
Points!
Anything that could make money, he was willing!
“So, how do 1 upgrade?”
Su Xuan immediately asked, instead of blindly agreeing to the system’s outrageous upgrade procedure from the beginning.
[Upgrading requires clearing all of the host’s points.]
The system’s voice remained as flat as ever, but it seemed to have a touch of excitement beyond that.
Listening to the system’s voice, Su Xuan’s mouth twitched.
He opened the system interface, and the points displayed there were already enough for him to purchase the body enhancement potion he wanted. Now, he was being asked to spend all his points just to upgrade the system!?
Su Xuan felt a bit reluctant.
Then he took another look.
The points he had accumulated from catching pickpockets and thieves today were just a tiny fraction of what he needed, but the ratio of these points to sin value was only eight out of ten. Looking at it now, it seemed that upgrading the system might be the more profitable choice?
Thinking about this, Su Xuan began to hesitate once again.
Was it better to eat well now or to eat well for the rest of his life after upgrading?
Was there even a choice in this multiple-choice question?
Of course, he would choose the latter!
“Upgrade!”
Su Xuan gritted his teeth and said. Although the Body Enhancement Potion was great, Su Xuan still chose to upgrade the system. After upgrading, wouldn’t the Body Enhancement Potion he wanted be easily obtained?
[Ding, the system is upgrading. All your points have been deducted. Please wait a moment!]
The system’s voice sounded excitedly on the tablet. Su Xuan watched helplessly as the points in his hand disappeared. His heart ached so much that he could not breathe!
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading the system. You have received the upgrade reward: Beginner Body Enhancement Potion xi! The reward has been sent to your backpack. Please check it yourself!]
” The system will need two days to upgrade. During this period, the system will be in a deep sleep. The function of issuing missions will be blocked. All purchased items can be used. Please be informed.”]
After the system finished speaking, it disappeared without a trace.
There was only an empty system panel in front of Su Xuan.
However, at this moment, Su Xuan was a little excited.
Wait, what?
The reward for leveling up was the Basic Body Enhancement Potion?!
Very good.
Although it wasn’t the mid-grade strengthening drug that he wanted, at least he had it now, right?
Drink first!
Through today’s fight with the criminal, Su Xuan also realized that if he wanted to continue, it was impossible not to strengthen his abilities. What he needed to do now was to strengthen his abilities and physique!
Otherwise, if he encountered a stronger criminal next time, he would probably not only hurt his hand!
Su Xuan didn’t even have time to check the rewards he had received after arresting the dynamic duo. Instead, he picked up the bottle of body enhancement potion and downed it.
A bottle of body enhancement potion was about the size of a small cola bottle. He swallowed it in one gulp, not even tasting it, before it was gone.
He placed the bottle on the coffee table, then collapsed onto the sofa. Before he could comprehend what was happening, the effects began to manifest.
Boom.
Thud.
It felt like someone had suddenly clenched his heart. Su Xuan’s pupils dilated, and in an instant, a montage of his entire life played out in his mind. Not just his own memories, but also those of the original host. The two sets of memories intertwined, accompanied by the pain in his body, and it all mixed together.
Su Xuan couldn’t hold on and passed out.
The room remained quiet, with only time slowly ticking away…
Meanwhile, at the Jiangcheng Police Station.
“Chief, someone from the Bureau is here.”
Just as Old Mai was delighted that Su Xuan had managed to accomplish something big by apprehending the dynamic duo, Lin Can approached with a phone call.
“The Bureau?”
Old Mai was momentarily puzzled when he heard that. He subconsciously glanced over. “1 haven’t reported the capture of the dynamic duo yet, have 1?” Why would someone from the Bureau be here already?
Could it be that they had some kind of clairvoyance, allowing them to see that they had made arrests here?
“It’s because we’ve arrested too many people today,” Lin Can explained. “And also, there’s news about the human traffickers that Su Xuan caught the other day.”
“The Bureau wants us to transfer the criminals over. They’re going to take them away.”
Seeing Old Mai’s reaction, Lin Can could tell what he was thinking and immediately clarified.
Upon hearing this, Old Mai became excited. He stood up from his seat and walked toward the door. “Where are they?”
“They’re in the interrogation room.”
“They said they need to redo some statements.”
Hearing Lin Can’s words, Old Mai left the room in a flash. His hands were trembling with excitement, and his footsteps quickened.
Lin Can was also very excited at this moment. He followed Old Mai’s actions and walked out.
What a joke!
It would be ridiculous if he didn’t go to such a historic moment!
He had to go and take a look!
