I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 50: Can’t Sleep Without You

Night, eight o’clock in the evening.

In the villa district nestled by the mountains and rivers, a nanny tidied up the dining room in the first-floor living room, while in the second-floor piano room, Li Mengwu, having changed into home clothes, was playing the piano.

Soothing music echoed from her fingertips, reaching far into the tranquil night.

This scene contrasted sharply with the lively, dance-charming girl from the eSports city in the afternoon.

In the greenery of the forest a few dozen meters away from the villa, two dark figures were faintly visible, with Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s voice barely audible.

"Her piano skills are at least at level eight, she’s the top student in her grade, and she’s proficient in dance. Where does she find the time to learn all this?"

"Good learning aptitude, sometimes you have to admit geniuses exist."

"They can master techniques and knowledge others take years to perfect in a very short time, just as some people get into top colleges while others struggle through middle school."

In the forest, Jiang Hou leaned against a tree as the two chatted idly.

"Forget it, let’s not talk about such sad topics. Do you think Jiang Chong will show up today?" queried Zong Zheng Nan Mo, who generally had average grades.

"How would I know?" Jiang Hou shrugged.

"At least it’s better than aimlessly wandering like the past few days. With the uncertainty of whether he’s still in Yidu, Li Mengwu is our only breakthrough."

Of course, the two were only observing Li Mengwu’s house from a distance; after all, she wasn’t a criminal and had her privacy.

Meanwhile, the Law Enforcement Department was also secretly investigating, monitoring Jiang Chong’s bank card and personal consumption accounts, poised to immediately lock on if anything surfaced; Jiang Chong’s father’s side was also under close surveillance, communication included.

Even if he seems indifferent towards Jiang Chong, what if it’s all an act?

At this moment, Zong Zheng Nan Mo suddenly recalled something and curiously asked, "By the way, Jiang Hou, has your physique improved in the past few days?"

"Yes, but the rate of improvement has ’slowed’ considerably compared to before."

Jiang Hou didn’t lie; though days had passed, his physical strength remained at early-tier Three, not matching the pace of advancing a minor realm every day like before. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

However, he didn’t mention that the Divine Weapon had reached Tier Three, fearing Zong Zheng Nan Mo wouldn’t handle the blow.

Still, it made Zong Zheng Nan Mo envious: "Feels like the Giant Beast Era inheritance is so strong; you’ve only been awakened for several days and already surpassed tier Three."

"Compared to you, I managed to break through tier Two only thanks to the Energy Crystal given by the president."

"After absorbing and refining two crystals exchanged a few days ago, my strength improved some, but I’m still far from mid-tier Two."

"I feel I’ll need to refine at least five more Energy Crystals to break through, let alone reach tier Three."

Mentioning this, Zong Zheng Nan Mo felt a headache.

The Awakened of the Divine System have virtually no bottlenecks before reaching tier Four; as long as there’s enough Energy Crystal, they can steadily ascend to tier Three Peak.

But the issue is resource scarcity; Celestial Punishment Department members also need task points to redeem them, points earned by risking their lives to slay pollution monsters or Mutants.

To reach tier Three, he estimated over twenty Energy Crystals and five to six hundred points, uncertain when he’d gather enough.

And this was considered fortunate as they had stable resource channels.

Compared to the two who joined the official ranks, those unofficial Transcendents had it tough.

Upon awakening, everyone starts at tier One, slightly stronger than regular people, and most are cautious, not daring to reveal themselves, much like Jiang Hou initially.

Until they contact underground extraordinary black markets through certain channels for improvement.

They might join local small forces, collaborate with major corporations, becoming advisors akin to high-level ’mercenaries’ for earning money to buy resources.

Alternatively, they might secretly purchase resources, though channels are few and costs high.

Over thirty years have passed; though officials control extraordinary information, it’s only against ordinary people.

Those listed on Forbes, top company executives, high-ranking individuals across provinces and cities aren’t unfamiliar with the extraordinary.

Some patrons even invest, partnering with Extraordinary Forces to establish various legal and illegal underground research labs.

These labs study extraordinary items and even pollution monsters’ genes, striving to develop gene medicines or evolutionary devices for ordinary human evolution.

Of course, Awakened can also join Celestial Punishment Department through screening tests.

However, annually many Tier Three Transcendents apply, but less than a tenth are accepted due to limited resources, ensuring precision and excellence.

That night, until Jiang Hou and the others stayed until midnight, the lights in Li Mengwu’s room extinguished with no abnormalities found.

Glancing at the silent villa afar, Jiang Hou slowly stated, "Jiang Chong probably won’t show up today. Let’s call it a night, we’ll return tomorrow."

A non-professional criminal, Jiang Chong wasn’t exceptionally cautious.

Normally, if he wanted to meet Li Mengwu, he wouldn’t wait till after midnight, as disturbing someone so late would upset anyone.

Especially women, for whom staying up late is a nemesis.

The two circumvented surveillance, climbed over the wall onto the street, then hailed a ride with their phones; by the time Jiang Hou reached home, it was almost one o’clock.

The living room hallway lights were on, and Qin Siyu’s room door was tightly shut, indicating she was likely asleep...

Just as Jiang Hou prepared to head to his room, Qin Siyu’s room door opened, and the young girl in pink pajamas rubbed her eyes: "I heard the door open and knew you’d come back."

Saying this, Qin Siyu couldn’t help but yawn.

"Haven’t slept yet, huh."

Jiang Hou walked over, speaking gently as he ruffled her hair.

"I couldn’t sleep without you." She replied, stifling another yawn with her small hand, feeling sleepy.

This habit had developed over more than a decade; they grew up together, and she was accustomed to Jiang Hou’s presence at home, just as he was to her.

Even when busy, he would return to have dinner with her.

Jiang Hou spoke warmly: "Go to sleep, I’ll take a shower first."

"Hmm." The girl nodded, turned, and flopped onto her bed, forgetting to close the door.

This little girl. Jiang Hou shook his head, closed the door for her, then grabbed his pajamas and headed to the bathroom for a shower.

Only after his shower did he realize, looking around to find the little kitty Feitong not in the cat bed, nor in his room.

"Hmm, where’s this little fellow gone off to?" Jiang Hou recalled the blood stains on the kitty’s mouth that morning, his brows furrowing slightly.

But he didn’t know where to look for the kitty now, deciding to wait until morning to see if it returned.

Returning to his room, he pulled the curtains, turned off the lights, and the figure wrapped in tattered armor and white bandages appeared, holding the Demon Blade emitting piercing coldness, vanishing into thin air.

Compared to tracking Jiang Chong, Jiang Hou was more interested in the ruins on the opposite side of the rift.

Wondering what lay within.

In the ruins, the air trembled, and amidst howling winds, a massive black Giant Ape appeared.

Boom!

The Giant Ape’s feet shattered rocks, its enormous body soared over sixty meters high, leaping across the rift, bringing a gusty wave crashing in front of a bronze door.
