Chen Feng hesitated, weighing the risks and rewards of accepting the quest. Investigating the classified cargo could lead to valuable information, but getting caught would mean trouble.
Just as Chen Feng decided to decline, Uncle Wang approached him.
"Kid, I saw you watching the high-level talents. You're curious, huh?" Uncle Wang said, his voice low.
Chen Feng nodded.
"I'll give you some advice. Be careful around those talents. They're not what they seem."
Chen Feng's curiosity piqued, he leaned in.
"What do you mean?"
Uncle Wang glanced around, ensuring no one listened.
"Some of them are... augmented. Not natural talents."
Chen Feng's eyes widened.
"Augmented? How?"
Uncle Wang shook his head.
"I don't know, but I've seen strange things. Talents that shouldn't exist. Abilities that defy explanation."
The system notification flashed again:
_SYSTEM NOTIFICATION_
_QUEST ACCEPTED: CLASSIFIED CARGO_
_OBJECTIVE: INVESTIGATE CARGO CONTENTS_
_REWARD: 500 ATTRIBUTE POINTS, 1000 GOLD COINS_
Chen Feng had accepted the quest without realizing it.
"Uncle Wang, I need your help," Chen Feng said, determination burning within him.
Uncle Wang nodded.
"I'll provide what I can, kid. But be careful."
Together, they hatched a plan to investigate the cargo.
That night, Chen Feng snuck into the warehouse, avoiding security patrols.
He reached the classified cargo area, finding crates marked with strange symbols.
As he examined the crates, Chen Feng discovered a hidden compartment.
Inside, he found a series of vials containing glowing liquids.
Suddenly, Chen Feng heard footsteps.
A high-level talent, augmented with mechanical limbs, approached him.
"You shouldn't be here," the talent said, voice cold.
Chen Feng prepared for battle.
The system notification flashed:
_SYSTEM NOTIFICATION_
_COMBAT INITIATED_
_ENEMY: AUGMENTED TALENT_
_REWARD: VARIABLE_
Chen Feng's heart pounded as he faced his opponent.

Would he emerge victorious?
