All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 90: The Blessing and Trouble of Happiness
Su Xin pondered for a moment.
These two characteristics are both useful.
However, neither can be considered very strong.
Each has its own shortcomings.
First is hatred locking; Su Xin had thought before that after the Damage Transfer Superpower upgrades, there should be a feature to lock onto targets.
But now this characteristic that appeared can only lock after Damage Transfer is triggered.
If he faces a group and wants to attack a specific person among them, he can only attempt a lighter attack, and once Damage Transfer occurs to the intended target, he can lock onto the target and go for a real attack.
This is really too troublesome.
As for the second characteristic, Counter-Curse.
The prerequisite is to be attacked by the target, and the opponent must be within ten meters, only then can he set a Counter-Curse on them, and it lasts only ten minutes.
According to the explanation of this characteristic, the effect of the Counter-Curse is somewhat similar to hatred locking; both fix the Damage Transfer target onto a specific person.
And the difference is.
Hatred locking has no time limit.
As long as he does not cancel it and the opponent does not escape beyond ten meters, the effect remains, and he can continuously attack himself or others to harm the designated target.
Counter-Curse, however, has a duration limit of ten minutes, but the advantage is, once successfully set, you can transfer attacks unconditionally, meaning there is no distance limit, even if the opponent escapes a thousand miles within ten minutes, they cannot avoid his attacks.
Both characteristics have prerequisites.
The former requires triggering Damage Transfer first and luckily transferring to the target.
This relies on luck.
The latter requires being attacked first, and the target must be within ten meters.
But he does not need back-and-forth fights with others; either knock the opponent out or unconscious during an operation, or directly kill them when encountering someone from the Nirvana Association or financial group, not leaving room to be attacked.
Thus, while this characteristic looks strong, its practical value isn’t high, except for the benefit of unlimited distance.
However.
After careful consideration, Su Xin decided to choose the Counter-Curse characteristic.
In case he encounters a strong enemy one day, or one with extremely fast speed, this characteristic might come in handy.
"I choose, Counter-Curse."
[Damage Transfer LV2: When directly attacking intelligent creatures within ten meters, damage will be randomly transferred to another intelligent creature within ten meters.]
[Characteristic: Counter-Curse]
[Upgrade Progress: 0/1000]
...
In another city hundreds of kilometers away from Lening City, Su Xin, having transformed into a man in a black robe, once again began his operations.
With the Damage Transfer Superpower, Su Xin’s attack methods became more diverse and covert; he no longer had to risk Instant Teleportation behind someone to launch an attack.
In the eyes of those unlucky enough to encounter Su Xin, cloaked entirely in a black robe, Su Xin was practically a ghost god from Hell.
Not only was his behavior elusive, able to silently flash beside them, but his attack methods were also uncanny; clearly standing there without any movement, yet waves of sharp pain continuously radiated from their chests as if sharp metal objects were jabbing and grinding at them.
The injuries he caused weren’t severe.
But this unimaginably unassailable, irrefutable attack method brought them abyss-like fear and despair.
Actually, what they didn’t know was, while Su Xin seemed to have no action with just his black robe gently swaying in the night breeze, it was actually his hand hidden inside the robe attacking himself.
The finger tiger on his right hand, with sharp spikes on four knuckles, although short, pressed hard against his body through a thin T-shirt still brought considerable pain.
After a night’s action.
Su Xin successfully earned 77 karma points and also got acquainted with the application of Damage Transfer.
Meanwhile.
On the other side, several investigation teams arranged by the Nirvana Association were still busy investigating one suspicious target after another and monitoring the traces of the black robe through the organization’s intelligence network.
Upon learning that the black robe was active these nights, they became more certain that his activity period was unusual and decided to focus on this clue to speed up the investigation.
After all, the organization’s personnel in Wanghai Country’s branch were already not abundant, and now Lening City caught the financial group’s attention due to the last conflict, making it unsuitable to be too high-profile here.
If they were exposed due to aggressive investigation and caused so many organization members to be sacrificed, the loss would be too great for the organization.
In terms of open power, their Nirvana Association is far inferior to any financial group.
All direct conflicts must be avoided.
Apart from the Nirvana Association, Yonghui Financial Group, more precisely, the professional combat team of the Wolf Fang Security Company, also learned that the black robe was active these nights.
Only the operation location had shifted from Lening City to surrounding other cities.
Captain Lin, the operations team’s head, immediately reported this information to the higher-ups. After combining it with last night’s failed assault information, the higher-ups discussed and issued orders—
Investigate the true identity of the black robe quickly, confirm the identity, and wait for new instructions from above; before that, do not alarm the snake.
Captain Lin fully understood this order, for the mobility of the black robe was truly excessive. After yesterday’s failed operation, the opponent simply switched to another city; if yet another mission fails and the opponent hides away or moves to another city for life, they would never find them.
Nirvana Association and the financial groups unanimously abandoned aggressive methods, opting for investigation.
But whether for revenge or for capturing for research, they all bear great hostility toward the black robe, just temporarily concealed.
...
The next day.
October 26, Wednesday.
According to the previous pattern, today should be the day to trigger a new task, so from the morning, Su Xin’s mood was very good.
Early in the morning, Su Xin sent a message to the class teacher for leave and went to the bank to apply for an upgrade to his bank card level and privileges.
His bank card balance has surged to over 10 million, and the bank manager, naturally very cooperative, actively recommended various financial products to him.
After politely declining, Su Xin left the bank.
With his bank card level raised, his daily online transfer limit was increased to 2 million; if Su Xin was willing to spend, he could empty this over 10 million within about a week.
"20,000 karma points, representing two LV4 abilities, which two should be prioritized for enhancement?"
Su Xin fell into a pleasant dilemma.
