Chapter 44: Chapter 34: Attributes Soaring

Soon, the truck stopped at the Corpse Collector Building at No. 117 East City Road.

The team leader, Dexter, and the other two older team members went straight to bed, leaving the task of moving the corpses to the morgue to Leonard Churchill and Gibb, the two newcomers.

They were already accustomed to this.

The two of them brought a cart, piled eight corpse-wrapping bags on it, and then took the elevator down to the third basement level.

Normally, apart from transporting bodies, no one would come to this ominous place.

After the bodies were placed in the lead-iron boxes, Gibb left.

Leonard Churchill stayed behind, using an excuse.

After listening to the old elevator creak up, he glanced at the empty corridor, and then pulled out one of the iron boxes.

Opening the corpse-wrapping bag, Leonard Churchill emotionlessly located the Secret Cause Spirit Medium from the abdomen of the corpse.

Knowing that delay would bring changes, he didn’t waste time and began to absorb it using the Feast Secret Skill, sitting directly on the ground.

He had only tasted it lightly in the cellar of Tailor Street before, but now, like a whale swallowing, Leonard Churchill devoured the dark extraordinary traits embedded in the material without any hesitation.

This was his first time absorbing such a pure extraordinary trait. As soon as he began, his whole body – flesh, bones, and internal organs – seemed to emit a trace of heat.

Leonard Churchill was familiar with this sensation. It was a sign of his body growing!

But currently, this sensation was incredibly intense than before.

When he used to absorb extraordinary traits from corpses, it was like squeezing droplets of water from wet sand at the riverbank, with each little drop requiring effort; but now it was like drinking directly from the river, gulping down large mouthfuls.

His body gradually shifted from being warm to intensely hot, causing unbearable pain.

But now was not the time to rest.

Leonard Churchill was always attentive to the data on the panel. As long as it wasn’t fatal, he didn’t stop, continuing to devour large mouthfuls.

He was well aware that this thing could not be kept.

The longer the night, the more dreams there would be. Now, he must rush to digest it.

As time passed, the volume of the amber spirit medium was getting smaller and smaller.

He didn’t know whether it was due to luck, but after returning from Tailor Street, his team had been consistently free from missions.

This gave Leonard Churchill enough time to devour the Secret Cause Spirit Medium.

From the afternoon to the next day’s early morning, he had spent more than ten hours in the morgue.

The long night seemed to pass in a flash, and the meditative Leonard Churchill slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at his pocket watch. It was a quarter past seven in the morning.

Looking at the completely dissipated spirit medium in his hand, Leonard Churchill breathed a long sigh of relief, “Finally, it is completely absorbed.”

With the physical evidence completely eliminated, the biggest hidden danger was gone too. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

And his own attributes had undergone a significant change.

“Leonard Churchill”

Strength: 3.15

Physique: 3.55

Agility: 2.78

Tenacity: 2.56

Spirit: 5-97

Curse Power: 114 /115

As Leonard Churchill predicted, after devouring the spirit medium, his physical attributes mostly broke through to 3.

He looked at his forearm, clenched a fist, and saw his muscles bulge solidly underneath the skin.

This feeling of being full of strength in every vein of his limbs was amazing!

“So strong.”

Because it was an underground city, there was no sun.

The difference between day and night was that during the day, there were many lights on the city blocks and towers, and there were more pedestrians.

Sinless City was very large, the city area was at least hundreds of square kilometers.

Thankfully, there were complex railways and inter-city steam trains.

Leonard took the train across half of the city, from East City to Grove Street in the South City District.

On this block was a very prominent yellow-painted building, it was the tallest building nearby, the towering spire disappeared into the darkness, it was solemn and magnificent.

There was a giant axe and bow emblem hung on the wall, this was the Hunter’s Association headquarters building at N0.1 Grove Street.

The Hunter’s Association was a hub where hunters posted recruitment, obtained missions, traded information, and made transactions.

So it was always crowded with people.

Walking on the street, most of the people were hunters carrying firearms, knives, and steampunk mechanical equipment.

Leonard walked towards the main building, he had taken just a few steps from the tram station and was on a covered bridge. Looking down, he saw a misty view beneath, and there were dozens of meters of height.

This was the architectural feature of Sinless City.

The entire city was built up in the mountain, complex and three-dimensional. Now it was just off the street on the first floor, but when you cross the covered bridge, you’ll find yourself more than twenty floors up.

The misty images were like a dreamy illusion.

The city was bustling under the lights, and the darkness contained countless secrets that could not be exposed.

On both sides of the street were various stalls, which made up the Hunter’s Market.

Like the antique markets of his former world, there were various strange objects displayed on the stalls.

“Come and see, freshly produced Elemental Series ‘Demon Mark’ from the Watchtower Fortress, just 250,000.”

“Deformed materials from the Demon Cross Ruins, we have universal materials for both Assassin Type and Healer Type, volume discounts available...”

“Hidden Soul Wood from the West Plague Forest, premium undead material, come and take a look...”

“Rare Mithril Ore from the Eagle’s Nest Mine, premium material for forging alloy machinery. Also selling ready-made Halo K-3 Mechanical Arms, standard equipment in Upper City’s military...”

The majority of items on the stalls were the various types of cards and extraordinary materials obtained from dungeon explorations by hunters.

There were also stone carvings with ancient inscriptions, broken books, scrolls, etc.

The dazzling array of items frequently caught Leonard’s eye.

These were all treasures from various ruins.

Most hunters would set up stalls here when they had spare time after coming back from dungeon explorations, as this would yield a much higher price than selling directly to the greedy middlemen.

In addition to the street stalls, there were also physical stores lining the streets.

Leonard had been here once before and bought the book “Great Dark Breathing Method”.

It was almost nine o’clock, so he didn’t linger in the market but went straight to the Hunter’s Association hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw that the hall, covering thousands of square meters, was packed with people. In the most conspicuous place of the hall, were a few huge Magic Light Screens.

The screens displayed a large amount of recruitment information.

“‘Grand Cemetery Labyrinth’ recruitment teammates, exploring C-level difficulty, gathering undead materials. Dark Priest, puzzle solvers preferred...”

“‘Twin Towers Fortress’ development, recruiting a godly archer, a heavily armored Black Knight...”

“‘Plague Mine’ farming Mysterious Type materials. Departing in three days, led by the veteran gunner, looking for several Healing professions...”

Hunters would post mission rewards at the association, at the same time, large and small hunter teams could put up recruitment notices to find suitable teams to set off together.

It was Leonard’s first time inside; he felt a sense of wonder.

It turns out that in addition to the “Abnormal Creature Shelter 407” that he had encountered before, there were many other various kinds of Alternate Dimensions in this world.

After a few glances, he decided not to look further, he walked towards the elevator on the side.

The elevator descended to the third floor, which was a large stepped conference room.

The free course explaining card knowledge was very popular. When Leonard arrived, there were already a few hundred people present.

However, because it was a beginner’s card knowledge course, those attending were mostly young hunters and half-grown children, creating a lively atmosphere.

After surveying the surroundings, Leonard took a seat in a quiet corner..
