"Those deemed unfit to advance?"
Su Changxing chuckled, sensing this notion aligned somewhat with the intentions of the Doomsday Game, and remarked:
"Ordinary humans can handle up to six enhancements, while the Extraordinary might bear a few more; you should try it later."
Zhu Wenwu had become an Extraordinary with just three enhancements; he could likely handle three more, but Su Changxing wondered if he could sustain even further enhancements.
Zhu Wenwu nodded and said, "The increase in physical strength after becoming an Extraordinary isn't as much as imagined, but I did become significantly stronger."
Zhu Wenwu wasn't privy to the discount shop, nor did he realize that an Extraordinary could continually elevate their Mysteriousness within the same tier, and grow stronger.
But it seemed that every action an Extraordinary takes affects themself; even without deliberate effort, Mysteriousness increases over time, albeit slowly.
Su Changxing pondered a moment before suggesting, "An Extraordinary can also develop themselves through specific means; pushing development in the same tier to the extreme might boost physical strength by another fifty percent, plus notable improvements in abilities."
Zhu Wenwu nodded, asking, "What specific means?"
Su Changxing shrugged, saying, "It's different for everyone; you'll need to figure it out yourself."
Zhu Wenwu's potential appeared immense, particularly with his role as a Demon Hunter, which wasn't simple; in terms of combat prowess, it offered him significant advancement.
However, Su Changxing didn't necessarily see this as entirely beneficial, given the subtle balance within the Extraordinary; the stronger they become, the more pronounced are their flaws. It seems that Middle Rank and Lower Rank Tier Nine Extraordinary beings lack dire weaknesses.
Thus, Su Changxing cautioned, "It's best not to reveal your role information to others; that's dangerous for Extraordinary beings."
Zhu Wenwu understood Su Changxing's meaning instantly, nodding, "I will be cautious."
The gathering spot was tranquil; aside from the corpses on the ground, it was peaceful, with many resting against the walls, eyes closed.
The duo approached the Blood Moon Shop, where food and water were piled up, as Huang Biao feared the shop would vanish and first moved the supplies out for transport.
Huang Tao was managing the supplies there, still in fairly good status, not severely injured. He mainly coordinated throwing items down from upstairs last night.
That was quite crucial; without those items thrown down last night, holding the gathering spot would have been challenging.
Outside the complex lay corpses crushed under piles of broken furniture, weighed down by many zombies.
Leaning against a table edge, Huang Tao saw Su Changxing and smiled:
"Brother Su, I watched you deal with that Screamer last night from above, clearly... unbelievable."
Then, with a dejected expression, he added, "Unfortunately, my uncle kept me up there; I heard you were brilliant last night, Zhu Wenwu, you became an Extraordinary?"
Zhu Wenwu thought for a moment and shook his head, "Don't listen to them; I just fought desperately and took three enhancements."
Huang Tao smirked, "Don't fool me; I'm not an outsider."
But you are such a blabbermouth!
Zhu Wenwu realized he couldn't fool Huang Tao, so he confessed, "Luck was on my side, and I made it. But don't mention it to anyone."
Surprised, Huang Tao pondered, "Is that so? Brother Su, do I have a chance to become an Extraordinary?"
Huang Tao showed no signs of initiating a path; many in the gathering spot displayed hints of initiation after last night, especially those surviving from the Blood Moon World.
Su Changxing patted his shoulder, saying, "That depends on your luck; Zhu Wenwu's seems quite good."
Huang Biao paused silently then said, "I feel like I'm sentenced to death."
Standing before the Blood Moon Shop, Su Changxing opened the screen, noting over twenty Attribute Enhancements remained, with more than five thousand Red Stones left unspent.
Though they hadn't emptied the shop, they could clear out a lot.
The shop's Firearms hadn't been redeemed; it's expensive, potentially inefficient, and loud, hence wasn't considered yesterday.
Su Changxing figured it's probably a trap, but now, with excess Red Stones, they could redeem one for a trial.
"Feel your body's status carefully; we'll stop at the sixth enhancement."
Su Changxing redeemed Attribute Enhancement for Zhu Wenwu, one Power, and two Physique.
A faint red glow surged from the shop, enveloping Zhu Wenwu and spreading over his body.
This enhancement felt quite peculiar.
Su Changxing distinctly sensed Zhu Wenwu's aura strengthening, even his skin tone altered slightly, becoming more fair, enhancing his scholarly demeanor.
Meticulously sensing the enhancement's effects, Zhu Wenwu paused and said, "Brother Su, I feel my body has reached the enhancement limit."
Zhu Wenwu could undergo only six enhancements!
Su Changxing fell silent, contrary to prior beliefs that being an Extraordinary broke the enhancement limit; seemingly, that's not the case.
He probably pushed through the limit before becoming an Extraordinary.
Is it the role's reason?
Or due to the initial discount shop's Physical Enhancement Potion?
Su Changxing showed no change in expression and simply nodded, "Hmm, it's just an experiment, if it's not possible, so be it; forced enhancements entail risks."
Zhu Wenwu stood behind Su Changxing, glanced at the screen's enhancement count, and then around them, whispering:
"Brother Su, although perhaps I shouldn't speak, I have a request."
Su Changxing browsed the dazzling items on the screen, "Do you seek enhancement opportunities for your sister?"
Before Zhu Wenwu could speak, it was already obvious in Su's mind, a natural assumption.
At the Blood Moon Shop, everyone at the gathering spot understood, those enhanced brimming joyously, while others devised ways to pursue enhancements.
This formed significant conflict; last night's defeat of the rebels exerted immense deterrence.
Earnestly, Zhu Wenwu said, "Yes, it is; I hope my sister survives; you said survival means becoming Extraordinary... She's accepted you as her mentor, and to me, you're a big brother."
Looking at him, Su Changxing smiled lightly and said, "No problem, but not because of me, it's due to you. Now, go call her down."
Jubilant, Zhu Wenwu expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Su."
