Chapter 744

Death Catastrophe: SSS rank.

Effect:???

Explanation: Rule Rank, Unique Rank.

Nothing left.

Looking at the simple explanation, Lin An's eyelid twitched.

It looks like the system really has him under its control.

Death Catastrophe...

Just hearing the name and those two simple explanations, Lin An could feel how twisted this skill is.

Anyone who can be called a Heavenly Disaster has surely annihilated an entire war zone.

Such beings often surpass human limits.

No need to dwell on it.

Having made up his mind, Lin An decisively closed the system interface.

We have to get it!

If we don't get this skill, we won't be able to rest even in death.

The plan is clear.

Two options.

The first option is relatively troublesome.

Relying on himself to earn points definitely won't work, but he can completely rely on his own strength to lead all the Awakened Ones in the trial to forcibly complete the highest difficulty mission.

Doing this, he can naturally and justifiably collect 'protection fees' from other Awakened Ones.

Without a doubt.

Just like Zhang Yong and the others who followed him to complete the mission, if he wants points.

Zhang Yong and Fei Ou Na would unhesitatingly transfer them to him.

The trouble is, he must protect the other Awakened Ones so they can safely pass the trial.

Moreover, he will inevitably reveal his strength before the world.

As for revealing his strength, Lin An doesn't care.

Staying low-key and hiding such things has never been in his nature.

His goal has always been to be first.

Whether it's being first in the world or first in the trial, he's determined to achieve it!

If you're going to do it, be the strongest!

If you're worried about attracting too much attention and being envied by many, give up on being first.

Then Lin An wouldn't need to think about revenge, nor about ending the apocalypse.

He doesn't even have this much courage; he might as well be worthless.

That's why, in the Evil God Mission, he had no qualms about letting Zhang Yong and the others come over directly.

What's there to fear about revealing one's strength?

He doesn't care at all if others know how strong he is; ideally, everyone would fear him, reducing petty provocations.

As for the second option.

Lin An glanced at his Fool's Talent, then slightly turned his gaze toward the gathered Awakened Ones.

After obtaining this skill, he never had a chance to test it.

In ordinary battles, facing monsters with little intelligence, the Fool's passive is as good as nonexistent.

However, when fighting the red‑clad girl, Lin An clearly noticed that, under the influence of the Fool's effect, her fighting style only consisted of mindlessly clashing with him.

He also didn't know whether her immaturity was innate or due to the influence...

The question is, how should he deceive?

Reduce the opponent's intelligence to zero?

Then let the target voluntarily contribute points?

Think of it and do it.

Just as Lin An was preparing to select a target for the experiment, not far away, the squad leader of the power system from the Soviet War Zone suddenly walked over.

He looked at Fei Ou Na with an excited expression, as if they knew each other.

Fei Ou Na!

You also survived?!

The man strode over, and Fei Ou Na, who was beside Lin An, looked at him in surprise.

As if ignoring Lin An, the leader of the Soviet War Zone stared blankly at Fei Ou Na, feeling grateful:

Thank you very much for the information you gave us during the trial; otherwise our war zone would surely have suffered heavy losses.

While speaking, the man pointed to the war zone behind him:

This time, we have 12 survivors, and I also smoothly advanced to the third rank!

His expression was proud.

Only then did Fei Ou Na realize that the man's aura was completely different.

It seems that, being just a single‑system user, he gave up on further trials and chose to advance directly.

The third‑rank insignia he displayed directly was extremely conspicuous.

Fei Ou Na, how did you end up staying with people from the Huaxia War Zone?

Didn't you go to promote to the third rank?

Aren't you short on points? I can lend you some.

The tone was sincere.

The Soviet Leader looked at Fiona in surprise, his gaze sweeping over, and only then noticed Lin An standing silently to the side, deep in thought.

Also Second Level?

None of them went to advance?

Thinking that Lin An and Fiona hadn't participated in the evil spirit mission, he instinctively assumed that the few of them were people who had survived by hiding in the trial.

Come to think of it, they indeed lack enough points, probably still hesitating whether to take a gamble.

Actually, there was no hostility; he just couldn't help looking at Lin An's side profile and glanced at the mask twice.

What a strange mask; no matter how you look at it, it resembles mental equipment.

He seemed lost in thought.

No wonder Lin An didn't participate in the evil spirit mission and couldn't advance to Third Level.

Come to think of it, in the strength trial he could only hide.

In an instant, he thought of many things.

A mental-type survivor, and he's still together with Fiona.

Was it Fiona's kindness that brought him through the trial alive?

That would actually explain things nicely.

Miss Fiona, indeed is a very kind person.

He extended his hand and smiled:

Hello Lin An, I am the representative of the Soviet war zone this time, Ter.

He took the initiative to show friendliness.

A contrast of instincts within human nature.

Thinking of how Lin An used to be extremely famous, he has now been surpassed by himself.

Ter couldn't help feeling somewhat proud.

I am Third Level, you are Second Level.

In the apocalypse, temporary strength means nothing; only Awakened Ones like myself who dare to strive will go further.

He looked at Lin An, who had no expression, or rather, whose mask showed no expression.

Unable to resist being friendly, he patted Lin An's shoulder with an encouraging tone:

Lin An

I've always heard about you.

Don't be discouraged; I believe you will definitely gather enough points in the later willpower trial and advance to Third Level!

He felt quite emotional.

To be honest, Ter's words truly came from the heart.

The fact that the other party could survive alongside Fiona shows they are not an enemy.

He is not a petty person either.

After saying that, he couldn't resist adding kindly:

If you can't gather enough points, I can try to help you get a few more.

I won't say more, but I still have three or four points!

Lin An, hear me out: as a mental-type, you shouldn't take part in other trials; this difficulty is truly terrifying for non-specialized Awakened Ones!

He still felt lingering fear.

Thinking back to the previous evil spirit mission, he would rather die than face it again.

However, Ter, lost in himself, didn't notice that everyone was looking at him with shocked and terrified expressions.

Especially Fiona, who at that moment wished she could sew shut the other's mouth.

Looking at her own remaining 205 points, she could figure it out with her toes.

Just how many points did Lin An actually obtain...

Not to mention Third Level.

In that final battle, the strength Lin An burst forth with would absolutely crush Third Level!

Captain Lin

Within the squad channel, Zhang Tie stared at Ter before him with a strange expression.

This kid, does he have something wrong with his head..

He doesn't look like an idiot either...

One could tell that the other was sincerely advising Lin An, also with an encouraging tone.

Xiong Hanzi, on the other hand, showed no hostility.

But this feeling is too strange.

Standing in place, Lin An unexpectedly nodded, his eyes flickering:

You're right.

I indeed lack many points.

So, could you lend me some?
