Chapter 1: Gaining Power Enhancement

Inside a room.

A guy is watching television.

The television is playing a news report.

A woman encountered a dancing ghost while getting off her night shift.

Just as it was about to attack the woman, a guy appeared.

Unfortunately, that guy's strength was insufficient, and his attempt to play the hero failed.

He paid the price of his life for his reckless behavior.

"Xiao Hao, stop watching TV, there's work to do."

"Alright, Grandpa."

Chen Hao picked up the remote and turned off the television.

He followed his grandfather into a room.

"Sigh, I don't know how many this is for this month."

Chen Hao's grandfather couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao remained completely calm.

"Heaven and Earth are heartless, treating all things as straw dogs; if one wants to survive in this world, one must have absolute strength."

"Without real strength, sticking one's neck out is no different from seeking death."

As Chen Hao spoke, he picked up a pair of white gloves and put them on.

He then lifted the white cloth, revealing the unrecognizable corpse underneath.

This guy was none other than the "hero" from the news report.

He took the needle and thread from the side and began to work.

After stitching up the man's limbs and facial features.

Chen Hao picked up a makeup brush again.

He applied an exquisite layer of makeup to the man.

"Done."

Seeing this, Chen Hao's grandfather walked out.

Before long, he led several weeping people inside.

They were none other than the deceased's relatives.

Looking at the deceased whose "appearance" had been restored.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

An old woman, clearly the deceased's mother, cried as she tried to kowtow to Chen Hao and his grandfather.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Chen Hao's grandfather, Chen Qiang, quickly caught the old woman.

"Please mourn in moderation; this is all just what we should do."

After the mourning process was over.

Chen Hao and his grandfather sent the corpse into the incinerator.

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"

"Obtained C-grade ability—【Power Enhancement】!"

Chen Hao:???

Hearing the system prompt, he was full of confusion.

"I obtained an ability?"

Chen Hao hadn't expected his own golden finger to awaken just like that.

And it even helped him obtain the C-grade 【Power Enhancement】 ability.

【Power Enhancement】, C-grade: After use, strength can be increased twofold.

This is a world that possesses special abilities.

Some awakened 【Stir-fry Master】 and became experts at stir-frying noodles.

Some awakened 【Basketball King】 and became slam-dunk experts.

Others awakened 【Red Dragon Bloodline】 and went off to carry wolves.

... Chen Hao obtained 【Power Enhancement】, and he walked to a room on the side.

There was a gym there, which he used regularly.

He walked in, used the 【Power Enhancement】 ability, and grabbed a barbell on the ground with one hand.

That thing had four hundred jin of iron plates added to it, yet Chen Hao lifted it up with ease.

"Holy crap, this ability is awesome!"

"Did you awaken an ability?"

Chen Hao's grandfather, Chen Qiang, walked in at this moment, smoking his dry tobacco pipe.

"Yeah, I suppose so."

"That's great, our Chen family has finally produced someone with prospects." Chen Qiang was somewhat excited.

"You finally don't have to rely on this trade to make a living like your grandfather."

"What's wrong with this trade?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao said dismissively: "Grandpa, I think this trade is quite good."

"At least it allows the two of us to not go hungry."

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Chen Qiang nodded.

The trade Chen Hao spoke of was, naturally, the art of corpse collection.

They were what others called corpse collectors, specializing in applying makeup to the dead.

In this day and age, there are only two ways to make money.

Either do what others cannot do, or do what others do not want to do.

Clearly, the profession of corpse collector belongs to the latter.

Normal people are extremely wary of corpses, even fearful.

Chen Hao, however, does not think so.

He feels his profession is very noble.

He is like a ferryman, ferrying the dead, letting them leave looking beautiful.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Chen Hao noticed his phone ringing.

He picked it up and saw it was a call from Jia Bing.

"Class monitor, is there something up?"

"Chen Hao, although you didn't awaken an ability."

"But don't be discouraged, all roads lead to Rome."

"As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely achieve something."

"Tomorrow our class is holding a graduation party at the 666 private room of the Heaven on Earth Hotel, at six in the evening."

"You must come!"

"Yeah, don't worry, class monitor, I will definitely be there."

After hanging up the phone.

The image of Jia Bing appeared in Chen Hao's mind.

A girl with short blue hair, usually kind and approachable.
