"Since 25 points is the limit for the First Tier, I might as well not add any points for now... I’ll forgo the choice." The source of thɪs content is novelFirｅ.net
Zhang Yanhang had two main reasons for not adding points. One was the Limitless Universe Skill, which had ten layers in its First Tier, each level-up granting three attribute points. He had only just reached Level 7, or the Seventh Layer, which meant the next three layers would grant him nine more attribute points. He was concerned that these points would go to waste if he continued to add points now.
The other reason was that he didn’t know if the slot machines in Raccoon City of the Ashen World would refresh the next time he went there. If they did refresh, he would waste the T-virus enhancing potion which was the second prize, as his attribute points would have reached the 25-point limit of the First Tier.
With these 36 attribute points, Zhang Yanhang felt he might save them for his promotion to Tier 2. That way, after his rank was elevated, he could immediately gain a relatively high attribute value, laying a solid foundation for hunting monsters afterward.
"Problem of adding points solved, then I should really have nothing else to do now, right? After all, I’ve already squeezed out all my soul points," Zhang Yanhang pondered carefully and realized that he indeed seemed to have completed everything. Therefore, as a final review, he opened his data panel for a glance.

"Life Value increased by 60 points, Energy Value by 50 points, Shield Value by 285 points..." In addition to Life Value, Energy Value, and Shield Value, Zhang Yanhang also noticed that both the Life Value Recovery Speed and Energy Value Recovery Speed had also increased by one and three points, respectively, due to the attribute enhancement.
After reviewing the data panel, Zhang Yanhang thought to begin his three-day indolent life. However, unexpectedly, there came a loud knocking from outside the door. But it sounded not like his door being knocked but rather the neighbor’s.
Listening to the urgent and strong knocking, Zhang Yanhang silently activated his Perception ability. The previous Crisis Warning had been vague, giving him only a few directions and numbers, and was passively triggered. However, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil was different; Zhang Yanhang could clearly perceive everything within the range.
After activating the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill, his mind conjured up a three-dimensional map composed of various lines. This map included all objects within a range of 1825 meters around him. Although it lacked color and sound, it could sense the strength of biological entities.
Specifically, what Zhang Yanhang perceived felt somewhat like a beginner’s sketch, consisting only of simple lines in black and white. Though rudimentary, it was certainly sufficient for searching for monsters.
Moreover, this perception could penetrate human bodies and the ground. Although completely solid ground somewhat hindered his perception, he could still sense what was below to a depth of about one hundred meters. And besides the ground, Zhang Yanhang also sensed the sky—since there was only air above, the perception worked exceptionally well, practically at full capacity.
"It looks like the 1825 meters stated in the skill effect must have constructed a sphere centered on me, not just an ordinary circle." After briefly experiencing the specifics of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil effect, Zhang Yanhang refocused his attention back to the building he was in.
In his perception, Zhang Yanhang could clearly see a figure made of lines persistently knocking on his neighbor’s door. He found the line figure’s face somewhat familiar; if his face blindness wasn’t acting up, then he could almost be sure the person knocking was his neighbor, Wang Fugui.
Sometimes Zhang Yanhang casually referred to him as "Neighbor Wang." They occasionally interacted, which was only natural if they bumped into each other at the door—it would be quite awkward not to greet one another. But that was the extent of their interaction; Zhang Yanhang hardly ever went out other than to school, spending most of his time at home, even on weekends.
But this time, Zhang Yanhang felt he might join in the curiosity, as one of his few hobbies was observing humans. Although he usually did this during a Time Pause, observing living and moving human beings was also quite appealing to him.
However, observing humans aside, he had no intention of going outside, especially since he wasn’t even dressed yet. Yes, even now, Zhang Yanhang was still lying in bed without clothes, and why was that? Simply because he was too lazy.
I am Wang Fugui, an ordinary middle-aged man. I hurried out this morning to run some errands and forgot to take my keys. However, I wasn’t too worried about being locked out because it was the first day of the eight-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, so my wife and child were both at home.
So, even though I didn’t carry my keys with me, it didn’t matter much—I just needed to knock on the door when I got home.
But no matter how much Wang Fugui knocked, there was no response from inside, as if no one was home.
Of course, this was neither a supernatural event nor a criminal case. In Zhang Yanhang’s view, he could clearly see that Wang Fugui’s wife indeed wasn’t at home; the only one home was his son, Wang Fumin. Wang Fumin was sleeping in with his headphones on, sound asleep, snoring and drooling on the bed.
