However—


    Ten minutester.


    They still ended up at a noodle shop nearby, where Hungry Monkey was wolfing down bowl after bowl of Zhajiang noodles, finishing each in just a few breaths. Hungry Monkey had always had a big appetite, but because he ate so much like a food trough, he sometimes felt very self-conscious.


    But now, things were different.


    As a Pixiu Holy Body, it was only natural for him to eat more, especially since it was also for the purpose of enhancingbat power to help Miao.


    He ate with more confidence than before, more justified, and felt more refreshing.


    This also made Chen Miao realize that Hungry Monkey probably had never had his fill before, always restraining himself. If allowed to eat as much as he wanted, he probably wouldn''t be satisfied without at least 20 bowls of noodles per meal.


    "..."


    Chen Miao sat on the chair, lighting a cigarette and looking towards Hungry Monkey with aplex expression as he devoured his noodles and garlic, with big chicken legs scattered on the table—he was thoroughly enjoying his meal. The other customers in the restaurant also looked over, clearly never having witnessed such a scene before.


    Time passed, unmeasured.


    Hungry Monkey wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth with a satisfied expression, while a notification sound rang in his ear.


    ''Ding, you have consumed a total of 10 kilograms of food, Strength Attribute permanently increased by 1 point.''


    Hungry Monkey, who had leveled up six times, allocated all the six levels'' worth of Free Attribute Points into Strength. His Strength Value had now reached a terrifying 33 points. Beforeing here, he had used five Free Attribute Exchange Coupons and added them all to Strength as well.


    He now felt full of strength and even couldn''t wait to test out what level of force his full-strength punch would unleash.


    ...


    The three of them didn''t dy any longer, each eager to go back and change their upation. After finishing their meal, they quickly returned to the graveyard.


    Chen Miao headed to the Sankui Wastnd.


    Picking up the Tao Wood model Thompson Submachine Gun, he fired a barrage into the distance; 2,000 bullets per spray, 20,000 bullets was a matter of just 10 sprays. If only he hadpleted the Job Transfer Conditions earlier, this task would have been finished during the big event.


    In total, it was just an expense of 400 Star Coins.


    This task was just right for him and basically presented no difficulty at all.


    Minutester, the task waspleted—simple and easy.


    ''Ding, congrattions to yer Chen Miao for sessfully activating the Gunman Profession''s single Hidden upation ''Gun Devil''.''


    ''Every time you are promoted in your profession, you will gain an Exclusive Skill.''


    ''As a Gun Devil, you possess an obsessive zeal for firearms. You cannot use any weapon other than firearms, including your fists.''


    ''All firearms will submit to you. Your bullets can turn corners at will, and within a hundred-meter range, be it your own bullets or shells, they all can turn as you desire.''


    And his level had risen a lot as well.


    ''yer Name'': Chen Miao.


    ''yer Level'': Level 14 (334/14000)


    ''Profession Name'': Gun Devil (Second Turn)


    He will reach the Third Turn at level 20, which is the next upation Promotion, jumping straight from level 3 to level 14, which could be likened to a carp leaping over the dragon gate.


    Previously, reaching the Second Turn would have made one considered a master, but times have changed too quickly. Since the beginning of the world''s Transcendentalization, people have been exploring everywhere, and mastering a small detail could make one much stronger than others.


    Now, strategies are soaring across the sky.


    Three years ago, Doctor Gou, with hisbat power of 4800, was still able to squeeze into the top dozens of Fengtian City''sbat power rankings. Even though he fell silent after that, he only dropped to just beyond the 100th ce.


    But three yearster, now.


    Thest time he tested, he had over 7000bat power, which ranked him thousands of ces beyond in the Fengtian Citybat power rankings, almost falling behind the 10,000th ce. He had to admit that, with the push of the inte, a lot of valuable information had also spread online.


    In this overall environment, people are getting stronger and stronger.


    Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Doctor Gou hasn''t retested hisbat power in these years and has been holding back in the Combat Power Secret Realm.


    A 14th-level Second-Turn Gun Devil.


    In the whole of Fengtian City, though not considered a top hand, he certainly counts as upper-middle ss, a crushing presence for the average person.


    Having leveled up 11 levels, Chen Miao did not hesitate to allocate all to strength, thus his strength had reached 24 points, of which 1 point came from sleeping in the Pitch-ck Coffin these days.


    There was no other reason.


    Zhou Shen had sent him a message.


    "Miao, there''s a small gunman auction tomorrow. There''s a D-ss item, ''Hell Gatling,'' blueprint, do you want it?"


    Of course, how could he not?


    The D-ss item ''Hell Gatling'' is tantamount to a mid-phase artifact for gunmen. Any gunman with this weapon is many times stronger than other gunmen, in secret realms or outdoor battles, if the need for a massive ammunition reserve due to its terrifying fire rate is ignored.


    Among ten gunmen, there may not be even one who possesses this item.


    This is definitely a core weapon in the mid-phase of the Gunman Profession.


    Because there are so few gunmen in Fengtian City, just a handful of regrs, a specific auction for the Gunman Profession is held regrly, since all those who can afford and utilize it are here anyway.


    Compared to the Gatling, he actually preferred a sniper rifle.


    He had kept a Pixiu skin in preparation for a sniper rifle.


    The characteristics of the Gatling ovepped with his Thompson Submachine Gun. Although his Thomson had weaker pration and a shorter range, it had a more terrifying firing rate thanks to his Tao Wood skin. What he now needed was a weapon like a sniper rifle, which could deal high damage with a single bullet and had a very long range, to make up for a gap in his arsenal.


    But since this Gatling gun came knocking at his door, he saw no reason not to ept it.


    He maxed out his strength value first, to ensure he could handle the recoil of the Gatling gun. It''s not an easy task for one person to fire that thing while on the move; it''s usually mounted on a vehicle or fixed in a battle location.


    And he would also take the opportunity to check out the other gunmen attending the auction—those participating were not low-level gunmen. Very few neers choose the Gunman Profession, but the strength of these veteran gunmen should not be underestimated.


    Then he looked at the exclusive skill given to him after his Second Turn as a Gun Devil.


    ''Skill Name'': Pierce the Sky with One Shot.


    ''Skill Effect'': Upon activating this skill, you can transform all the bullets in your magazine into onerger bullet and fire it, causing greater damage.


    ...


    ps: Just now, while listening to music with headphones and typing, there was an earthquake in Xi''an. I only felt my body shaking. At first, I thought I was just sleep-deprived, my mind was drifting, and I was nearing copse. I hurriedly closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. When I opened them, I noticed the lightbulb on the ceiling was swinging.


    I felt something was off.


    Then at that moment, my wife rushed in and said there was an earthquake and to run. That''s when I realized what was happening... Fortunately, the earthquake wasn''t very strong; otherwise, living on the 18th floor, it seems there wouldn''t have been any point in running.
