Chapter 002: The Role of Charisma
"You have chosen the main quest: [Hunt the demons that walk in the world!] 】。 To get started, please refer to the Nightmare Mark to access the personalized information. ”
Su Hao once again focused his consciousness on the nightmare mark, and 4 menus immediately appeared in his field of vision, the first of which was [Personal Information]
The following are:
2. [Current World, Mission, Obtained Information]
3. [Specialties, Talents, Skills...]
4. [Items]
Su Hao clicked on the [Personal Information] column, and a large amount of data-based information jumped out:
Contractor Number: K27149.

Note 1: All base stats for adult males are 5.
Note 2: Your base attribute is enhanced by 50%, and the true value is in parentheses.

In the syncopal state, when the energy level returns to 10% or more, you will be out of the syncopal state.
…
Su Hao read this, and browsed the above information several times, and after thinking about it, the role of each basic attribute was clear. If it is true that the basic attributes of adult males are 5 points, then he is now far more than most humans.
In addition to the basic attributes, Su Hao noticed the level of the Nightmare Mark, and even noticed a sentence [Your Nightmare Mark level is too low, and other functions have not been unlocked], which shows that the Nightmare level is linked to the function permission.
…
Immediately after that, Su Hao clicked on the [Specialties, Talents, Skills...] column.
Your specialties are...
[Basic Ranged Combat LV3] (can quickly get started with various ranged weapons, and can ensure a good hit rate)
[Basic Melee LV3] (can quickly get started with various melee weapons, has a good level of melee combat)
Your skills... not
Your talent... not
…
In the end, Su Hao clicked on the [Item] column and found that he only had one item... $100 in his trouser pocket.
This is probably the start-up capital that Nightmare Space handed over to itself.
Su Hao stuffed the $100 back into his pocket, and then the Nightmare Mark issued a prompt:
"You've chosen Main Mission 1, and the 48-hour countdown begins!"
Watching the time begin to pass, Su Hao couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and the constantly beating countdown numbers gave Su Hao a sense of urgency that every second counted. Obviously, when the time is up and the task is not completed, there is only one ending.
That is erasure.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged but still well-aged blonde woman crossed her arms, leaned against the door frame, and looked at Su Hao coldly.
"Young man, you look pretty energetic today."
The long false eyelashes in her eyes were thin and slightly curved, and she looked at Su Hao from head to toe, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. She immediately straightened her chest vigorously, as if showing off her good figure, and then hooked her fingers to Su Hao, whistled lightly, and asked with a smile:
"Hey, little handsome man, can you still afford to pay tonight's rent? If your trouser pockets and purse are still as clean as your little white face, then you have only two options, one is to get out, and the other is to come to my bedroom and grow up with my sister. ”
Su Hao suddenly remembered that the "self" in this world had not paid the rent for three days, and this middle-aged woman was obviously the proprietress of this hotel.
Her attitude was first cold and then hot, she must have been dissatisfied with her rent arrears first, and then suddenly looked at herself with her eyes, fell in love with herself, and wanted to "grow" with herself.
Obviously, the reason for her change of attitude is that the 15 points of charm are at work, which not only helps her write off the rent arrears, but even prostitutes the proprietress for one night.
Although the beauty is good, a traditional man like Su Hao will definitely not with a strange woman, so he is ready to categorically refuse.
But when he thought about it, the other party was the first plot character to appear in front of him, and if he brushed her face like this, I was afraid that bad consequences would be derived.
So Su Hao showed a friendly smile, he first praised the other party's beauty, said that the other party deserved a better man, and then characterized the relationship between them as pure friendship, and finally righteously rejected the other party's request to "grow".
After this set of operations, the proprietress couldn't help but feel sad, and even felt ashamed of her bold behavior, and left directly.
Looking at the lonely back of the proprietress, Su Hao thought about it, chased after him directly, and asked, "Can you give me a local map and the latest issue of the newspaper?" ”
The proprietress turned her head, glanced at Su Hao affectionately, and said, "You come with me." ”
Su Hao went down to the first floor with the proprietress and walked to the reception desk. The proprietress took out a copy of the latest issue of "Sencheng Daily" and a folded old map from the drawer and handed it to Su Hao. At the same time as the handover between the two sides, the proprietress did not forget to touch Su Hao's hand, took the opportunity to rub the oil of this younger brother, and even kissed affectionately on the old map, leaving a scarlet lip print.
"Cherish this map, I drew it myself, and it contains a lot of things that are not found in official maps. Also, this kiss... It's time to leave you a souvenir. ”
Documenting a large number of things that are not available on official maps?
Does this mean that you can easily find a large number of useful places in the city?
Su Hao noticed this key information.
Perhaps, this is what the 15 charms do?
In the face of the proprietress of all kinds of amorous styles, Su Hao took the newspaper and map without changing his face, waved his hand with a smile, and said with a smile:
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye, handsome."
After leaving the hotel, Su Hao walked on the streets of Sencheng, breathing in the foul air, and couldn't help but shake his head.
The environment here is so bad, full of dirty streets, stuffed garbage cans and old buildings full of the characteristics of the 80s of the 20th century, the poor and homeless people walk the streets, mentally exhausted, shabby, numb in their eyes, and there is no hope in sight.
In this situation, Su Hao deeply felt that under his feet was a decaying land, an abandoned land, and an isolated place, as if forgotten by the outside world. Thinking of the name Sin City again, Su Hao suddenly realized, shouldn't Sin City be translated as "Sin City"?
"Could it be that the Spartans live in this kind of place?" Su Hao said with emotion.
Ploughing in the darkness, but only to breed light in the darkness?
Su Hao leaned against the wall and browsed the "Sencheng Daily" first, he now needed to find some clues to the devil, and the latest issue of the newspaper was undoubtedly an important source of clues.
However, to Su Hao's disappointment, the news published above is all cliché, which is nothing more than "the unemployment rate in Sencheng has declined for 5 consecutive months, hitting a record low", "Sencheng police have cracked xx major burglary cases", "Sencheng Heavy Industries has completed a large order of xx, a record high"...
Such political and economic news that praises virtue seems to be moving forward and thriving.
But almost none of the news is related to supernatural creatures like demons.
Just... Look numb.
Wait a minute...
Su Hao saw a small news on an inconspicuous small page, which seemed to hide clues:
"Recently, there have been a number of homicides in Sencheng Chengbei 1st Street, Chengbei 2nd Street, and Chengbei 3rd Street, the cause of death is excessive blood loss caused by a throat bite, the chest of the deceased was cut open without exception by a sharp weapon, and then the heart was removed, and the time of death was inferred to be 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the murderer's whereabouts are still unknown."
"Nearby residents are requested to reduce going out and pay attention to personal safety."
The cause of death was... Excessive blood loss due to a throat tear?
This is too suspicious, in modern society, what normal person would bite someone and bite them to death? Can't you poison it, shoot it, and take a knife no matter how bad it is?
The most plausible explanation is... The murderer is not a man, but a demon, or at least a human believer who believes in demons, although the former is more likely, and biting his throat may be his usual method of attack.
If a throat tear is just suspicious, then digging out a heart is conclusive evidence... Su Hao still remembers the main quest 2 [Dedicate your heart for the birth of the new king!] What is the goal of the mission?
Kill the Demon Hunter and sacrifice its heart.
The deceased was disemboweled, which corresponds to the mission objective of Main Mission 2.
Su Hao read the whole newspaper 3 times, and only found this valuable piece of news. Obviously, the clues of the devil are hidden in this news.
Now that he had locked on to his target, he tossed the newspaper into a ball, threw it into the trash, and then unfolded the map of Sen Castle, the bright red lip prints on the corner of the map still exuding a faint fragrance of women.
As a contractor, since he is a novice who has just entered the space, the first task given to him by the nightmare space will definitely not be perverted and difficult, but it will never be easy, and if you think about this demon, it should not be too powerful.
But speculation is always just speculation, Su Hao is very cautious and will never despise any opponent, let alone a demon. He knew how treacherous and dangerous his current situation was, and even supernatural creatures like demons were real, so how could he guarantee that there would be no accidents?
So if you want to ensure that the hunt is foolproof, Su Hao is ready to do three things:
1. Familiarize yourself with the terrain, which is the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd streets of the north of the city mentioned in the newspaper.
2. Inquire about the modus operandi of this suspected demon murderer from nearby residents.
3. Prepare some weapons to arm yourself in a targeted manner.
Su Hao looked at the map and quickly found his location and the location of the three streets in the north of the city, which were not too far apart.
Well... I only have 100 US dollars, and I can't afford to take a taxi, but if I run, with my physical strength and 1.2 times the agility that exceeds normal people, I will reach my destination in an hour and a half.
