Chapter 17 - 16.5

Wei walked back to the hall, feeling a little tired. He allowed his system to give him the security information of the apartments and the threat level.

┌──────────────────────────

│ [System]

│ Apartment Security Analysis:

│ Threat Level: Low │

│ Security Features

│ - Standard locks on all doors

│ - Ground floor windows equipped with basic alarms

│ - No surveillance cameras in hallways

│ - Elderly night watchman patrols every 3 hours

| │

│ Vulnerabilities:

│ - Roof access door often left unlocked

│ - Outdated electrical system susceptible to manipulation │

│ - Weak spots in the perimeter wall on the north side │

└───────────────────────────

A smirk played across lips as the information was processed. Such pitiful defenses would pose no challenge.

But the real treasure lay not in the building's weaknesses, but in the untapped potential of the system itself. It was time to dig deeper, to uncover the full extent of this power.

The system seemed to know what he was thinking about. The Information flooded in, a torrent of data that would overwhelm a lesser mind. But not this one.

┌───────────────────────────

└───────────────────────────

The implications were staggering. Level 5, and already so powerful. What if I reached level 10? At level 20? The thought of it gave him a sinister smile

But power requires tools, and the inventory held it:

┌───────────────────────────

│ [System]

│ Weapon Options:

Katana (Rare) Level 1

│ - Upgrade Cost: 3,500 SP

└───────────────────────────

The katana's presence was a pleasant surprise. He remembered throwing it at the guard in the car park to kill him.

Its return defied logic, but in a world where street rats could become demigods overnight, perhaps logic had no place. Each weapon held potential, waiting to be unlocked with precious experience, for another time.

The real power, however, lay in the abilities. Each one is a tool, a weapon, a key.

└───────────────────────────

The system then displayed the 15 abilities gained from the Tyrant

Each ability is a piece of the puzzle, a step on the path to true power. But something was missing.

Li Wei wondered why the system hasn't given him skills like the rest, realizing that's why he still sucked at shooting.

Finally, the titles. Each one a badge of honor, for the blood spilled

┌───────────────────────────

│ - Merciless Executioner: Earned through Shen's demise, a first taste of │

│ true power

And soon, I hope to add 'Family Destroyer' or 'Drama Slayer' to my resume, once I have dealt with this delightfully dysfunctional family putting an end to this chaotic household's drama he thought.
