He also realized his current limitations.
With the identity of a poor orphaned student, he simply couldn't freely manage money.
But that wasn't even the most urgent issue right now—money was secondary.
Rather than figuring out an excuse for a large income, what he needed more was an identity that matched his circumstances.
A suitable identity as a Sequence Ability User—one that he could reveal publicly.
'No matter what, I can't let anyone know that I'm a [God Eater]. I must find a cover Sequence to fool everyone, then join a Sequence Ability User squad, go outside the Safe Zone, and hunt gods to keep growing stronger.'
He believed that as long as he could endure and stay hidden, he would eventually become powerful enough to do whatever he wanted. By then, revealing his true Sequence and abilities wouldn't pose any threat to him.
Even if he couldn't stay hidden forever, at the very least, he had to lay low in the beginning—until he had the ability to protect himself.
Having made up his mind, Qin Siyang arrived at the internet cafe and pulled out twenty copper coins.
The internet cafe manager today was the same obese middle-aged man from last time.
"One hour."
The manager expressionlessly pointed to the same computer Qin Siyang had used before,"That one, go ahead."
Qin Siyang noticed a new advertisement behind the manager,'Recharge 100 copper coins, get 100 copper coins free. Hurry up and top up now!'
Seeing this internet cafe promotion, which was somewhat similar to those from his previous life, he sighed internally.
He had the means to top up, but he couldn't explain why he could suddenly take out that much money at once.
Feeling a bit regretful, Qin Siyang turned away and sat down at a computer reeking of smoke.
Just like last time, the machine took an unbearably long time to boot up—long enough for Qin Siyang to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Once inside the interface, he opened the browser and once again visited the [Godslayer Camp] forum.
The pinned posts at the top were all quite useful to him.
Aside from the previously checked list of all known Sequences, there was also a guide for newly awakened Sequence Ability Users on how to report to the United Government and how to join a God-Hunting Squad.
Qin Siyang clicked on the newbie guide and began carefully reading.
'A person can awaken a Sequence Ability at any time, in any place, under any circumstances. When you awaken, an information panel will appear in your mind, telling you your Sequence name, Sequence level, and the skills you can use.'
Qin Siyang glanced at his own mental information panel.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Sequence: "God Eater"]
[Digesting gods will make you stronger]
[Current Sequence Level: Level 2, Greedy Madman]
[Skill: Blood Drink]
Skill Description: Can digest gods even when eating them raw.
[Skill: Violence]
Skill Description: For ten minutes, strength, agility, and physical durability are tripled. During this time, pain is completely ignored.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
It seemed like his information panel had an extra line compared to the guide: [Digesting gods will make you stronger]
It was this exact instruction that had led Qin Siyang to Safe Zone Exit 114514 two days ago to search for divine remains and test his luck.
Now, looking at other Sequence Ability Users' information panels, it seemed like none of them had this line.
'If they don't have a hint about how to grow stronger, then how exactly do they power up?'
With this question in mind, Qin Siyang continued reading the post.
["After awakening a Sequence Ability, you can go to the nearest Sequence Ability User Management Bureau to report it and submit your Sequence and related details. Since no one else can see the information panel in your mind, the content you report is entirely up to you."]
["However, we strongly recommend that you report truthfully—do not hold back, and do not lie. Because once your Sequence and skills are recorded, the Management Bureau will arrange everything accordingly."]
["Additionally, once your information is posted in the Sequence Ability User Hall, other Ability Users who are interested in your skills may invite you to join their team and go outside the Safe Zone to hunt gods. If your reported information is incorrect, it could easily lead to your own death or the destruction of your team."]
Qin Siyang was stunned after reading this.
So after reporting your information, every Sequence Ability User would know your Sequence and skills?
This further cemented his decision—his Sequence absolutely could not be exposed. Otherwise, who knew what kind of disaster would follow?
["Once you register with the Sequence Ability User Management Bureau, you will receive your first reward—essentially a beginner's gift pack: a Sequence Elixir."]
["The Sequence Elixir is a drug developed by the United Government, specifically designed to enhance the abilities of Sequence Users. Its formula remains top secret and is controlled by the highest-ranking leaders of each Safe Zone."]
["Drinking a Sequence Elixir is currently the only known way for Sequence Users to become stronger. Only by consuming Sequence Elixirs can Ability Users continue advancing and evolving."]
["However, you cannot simply keep drinking Sequence Elixirs. After using one, you must digest it before your strength increases. And the only way to digest an Elixir is by using your skills in battle against gods. The more you use your skills, the faster the Elixir is absorbed."]
["Don't think about spamming skills randomly outside the Safe Zone to speed up digestion. The Management Bureau determines the amount of Sequence Elixir you receive based on the level and quantity of divine remains you submit."]
["If you use your skills excessively and burn through the Elixir too quickly but only bring back a single pathetic divine remain—or worse, none at all—the Bureau will assume your combat ability is insufficient. As a result, your future Elixir supply may be reduced or even cut off entirely."]
["After hunting gods, the Bureau will not only provide you with Sequence Elixirs but also grant you honors and generous rewards. Therefore, hunting gods is the best way for Sequence Ability Users to get rich and grow stronger."]
Qin Siyang fell into deep thought.
All other Sequence Ability Users had to rely on Sequence Elixirs to power up. They also needed to use their skills frequently in battle to digest the Elixirs.
But he?
All he had to do was eat divine remains. As long as he digested them, he would keep getting stronger.
'…Does this mean I am basically cheating?'
'No—wait. I don't have some external "cheat system" or anything. This is just the Sequence I awakened.'
'How could that count as cheating?'
'I, Qin Siyang, am not cheating!'
