Chapter 2 Comic Update



[Opening the channel for you...Welcome back to reality.]

The system's emotionless reminder sounded, seeming to indicate the end of the 'trial'.

In the darkness of the night, the city called Jiaohuang disappeared before her eyes, along with the salty and humid smell of the sea breeze that vanished from her nose. When Li Li closed her eyes again, she was back in her dormitory.

The balcony curtains were drawn tightly, and the mosquito net on the bed was also a light-blocking type. At this moment, the square space on the bed was like a dark coffin.

My roommate went to bed early, and the dormitory was dark and quiet.

Li Li tried, but still couldn't move, so she could only continue lying on the bed like a cold corpse.

[Since your survival value is 0, if you do not accumulate one survival value before 6 am, the transaction will be terminated.] The system voice sounded at the right time.

Li Li laughed when she heard this, and she wasn't too surprised.

It is now midnight. Li Li died suddenly before midnight. At midnight, she traveled to the comic world and came back.

The comics are updated at midnight, which means the comics have just been updated. Even if there are many people following the update, they still need time to read them.

The props just now were purchased using the initial funds, which are the three points of survival value issued by the system.

Obviously, she had used up all three survival points.

If she doesn't accumulate popularity within six hours, she will still die.

But Li Li was not worried. It seemed that all her nervousness had been used up when she was talking to her boss. Now she was still somewhat leisurely and wanted to talk to the system.

"System, you are capable of a conversation, right?" Li Li said. Without waiting for the system to reply, she continued, "To be honest, I am very surprised. Three survival points can keep me alive for three days. You are giving me three survival points for free, which means that no matter how I perform the first time, I will have a chance to live for three days until the second comic is updated."

The comic book "Ultimate Black and White" is updated every three days, and the initial funding happens to be at this node.

"But obviously you are not philanthropists," she said.

The system did not answer, as if in tacit agreement.

It seems that it has never concealed its indifference. As it says, it only serves comics.

"So I think that's not a way out for me, but performance money. You are using my first time traveling as my first appearance to evaluate my potential."

There are many things that can be exchanged for three survival points, but if you want to exchange them for things related to superpowers, it’s not good enough.

After browsing the mall, Li Li chose [Immunity Superpower (3min)] because she knew that the popular intelligence dealer's superpower was a domain type.

The boss was her most suitable target. He was popular, she knew, and most importantly, he was knowledgeable about current affairs.

As long as she can calm the boss at the beginning and make him mistakenly think that she is strong, she can cover the sheep with wolf's clothing.

So Li Li took a gamble with her three survival points. She disguised herself as an arrogant superpower and tried to scam the boss.

She succeeded, she finished the performance perfectly, and she got an excuse to get closer to the protagonist.

"The popularity of comics is related to the character design, but more importantly, the number of times the comics appear," she said. "There are only so many slots for comic updates, and you won't give up the opportunity to waste."

"The first time I traveled through time happened to coincide with an update, so it was the only chance I would definitely get a chance to appear in the comics, right?"

The black-haired girl lay on the bed with her eyes closed, but her eyes seemed bright and shining.

She seemed to be facing a bad situation, but she was not afraid.

"Coincidentally, I thought the same thing." Li Li said, "I don't want to be a waste either."

Only when she died did she realize that she was unwilling to be ordinary.

She doesn't want to be just a number, she wants everyone to remember her name, and she wants to use this hard-earned opportunity to become the most popular manga artist!

And no one likes a weak person, so she must be strong!

Even if it was a disguise, she would keep pretending until

The false becomes reality.

...

At midnight, the comic "Ultimate Black and White" was updated.

Jiang Lan was a loyal reader of this comic and stayed up all night waiting for updates. At this time, she lay on her side in the quilt, swiped her fingers on the phone a few times, and clicked on the comic update chapter.

The previous content is a continuation of the previous chapter. The protagonist infiltrated the supernatural organization according to his plan, but encountered trouble when finding "Tang".

Although "Ultimate Black and White" is serialized on the Internet, it is a traditional web comic and its content is similar to traditional hot-blooded comics.

The protagonist's main goal is to find his long-lost adoptive father. At the beginning of the Jiaohuang chapter, the protagonist received a letter for help from Tang's father, so he came to Jiaohuang alone to save people.

It can be said that he simply wanted to save people, and thus got into trouble.

"The protagonist is so miserable." Jiang Lan muttered, then turned the page and found that the perspective had changed.

In the comic, three small grids are painted with chips, smoke, and money respectively, while the familiar Tang suit boss is lying on his recliner with his narrow eyelids slightly raised.

"The boss is on stage again?" Jiang Lan was a little excited. She clicked on the bullet screen and sure enough, she saw many readers who were cheering for the boss's appearance like her.

The boss is a gray area character whose character is unclear whether he is good or evil. If you say he is righteous, he is indeed a beneficiary of the supernatural class. If you say he is evil, he helped the protagonist a lot after the protagonist found him.

But the reader doesn't care about these. Jiang Lan is obsessed with looks, and the boss's looks are just what she likes. For this reason, she is more interested in the next development.

"The last time the boss appeared was to give news to the protagonist 'Tang'." She muttered as she turned the pages.

The picture on the screen suddenly changed.

On the small grid, the door of the casino moved.

Then the whole door smashed to the ground.

Smoke and dust rose up, and the sudden change not only shocked the people in the painting.

"What the hell!" Jiang Lan screamed, "This is the boss's territory!"

She didn't bother to read the comments and just flipped to the back, and then saw the appearance of the person who was causing the trouble.

In the comic, a figure slowly emerges from the smoke. The overalls under the black windbreaker are held together by Martin boots, and the slender ankles seem to contain great power visually.

His entire face was not exposed; his sunglasses hid half of his features in darkness. One could only see his leisurely and contented look from the angle of the upturned corners of his mouth.

His shadow spread out behind him like a robe. The black floor of the casino was stained with human blood, but his color was even darker and deeper.

Like the black god of death.

Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to remember to turn the page.

"This new character is so pretentious..." she said, and she had to admit that she was really stunned just now.

She guessed as she flipped through the pages: "But to be able to cause such a commotion on the boss's territory, he must be at least a mid-level psychic."

Sure enough, on the next page, the boss looked surprised. A dotted bubble appeared next to him, indicating that this was his inner thought.

"My ability has been suppressed!" The boss was shocked, "Even a B-class psychic can't suppress my ability. This person is at least A-class!"

In the comics, high-level psychics are SSS-level, the next level is SS, and the next level is S. Intermediate psychics are numbered from A to C, and those below D to F are low-level.

There is another simple and easy-to-understand nickname for high-level esper: against the world, against the state, against the country. It means that the upper limit of their ability is to destroy a world, a state, or a country.

There is also a huge gap between the three stages of mid-level psychics. C is just barely out of the low level, and the boss is most likely guessed to be at level C: he has a range of more than 100 meters and cannot extend.

However, Class A has already reached the point where it can destroy a city. The gap between the two is huge. If Class A wants to kill Class C, it would be effortless, unless they have special abilities.

The boss, who has already stepped into the middle level, of course knows the gap in between. As a person with special abilities, he adheres to a principle, which is to fear when it is time to fear.

"You only have one life." The boss thought to himself, then stood up obediently, observed the man's expression, and led him into the secret room.

This short journey was like sitting on pins and needles, and the boss clearly felt the terrifying sight behind him that he could not ignore.

"I hope this distinguished guest can be kinder and not commit murder and robbery."

He didn't dare mention the kicked-in door, not at all.

Outside the comic, Jiang Lan put down his phone and rubbed his arms, and found that he had goose bumps all over his body.

"This is the most powerful supernatural being that has appeared in comics so far. What is he going to do?" Jiang Lan began to worry, "Will the boss be okay?"

She completely put herself in the boss's perspective and felt the fear of being kicked out by a strong man.

The scene changes, and in a dark secret room, the young man is half hidden in the darkness. He sways his legs lazily, like a demon in the dark.

The boss was very obedient. He showed his most gentle smile and wanted to pour tea for the young man, but the young man suddenly raised his hand.

The movement was like an opening move, sharp as a blade.

The boss saw the indifference in the young man's black pupils under the kerosene lamp.

It's like a fog, impossible to guess.

The boss who was serving tea shuddered in his heart, and his hair seemed to stand up.

'Is he going to do it? ' the boss thought.

Jiang Lan, who was reading a comic, also shuddered: "Help! Don't let someone get killed!"

The young man shook his hand again, as if he was just waving it casually.

"I want Don's position," he said.

He just didn't seem to want tea.

The boss managed to steady his hands, took back the tea, and managed to keep smiling. A drop of cold sweat slid down his temple, but fortunately it was not noticeable because of his hair.

Jiang Lan also breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he breathed a sigh of relief again.

"He's also looking for 'Tang'?" Jiang Lan became even more worried, "Then isn't the protagonist in danger?"

The boss also thought of this, and his mental activities in the picture have been very active.

"Now, only Tang has the qualifications to scare such a powerful person to come all the way here, but where did the news leak from?"

"I promised that kid, and I feel guilty about selling him like this."

"I need to think about it, anyway, I'll just compliment you first..."

So he said, "'Tang'? It seems that you know a lot." This is not some clichéd news...

But he didn't have time to finish.

"You don't know?" the young man said.

He said it casually, as if he was just mentioning it casually, but everyone knew that he would not be willing to get a negative answer.

This is not a joke, this is a warning.

The coldness revealed by those black eyes almost jumped out of the paper, causing Jiang Lan outside the picture to hold his breath.

"How terrible," she murmured.

'This is not a man who likes to play tricks!'

Not only Jiang Lan was affected, but also the boss in the comics.

He was a little panicked, but still took the call reluctantly.

"Integrity is a key element in my business, and I have already sold the information to someone." But if it were you, I could...

There was only one thought in his mind and he had no time to care about the protagonist: he also wanted to survive!

And he still couldn't finish.

The devil in the dark interrupted him coldly: "Where is that person?"

The black-haired young man's face was half hidden in shadow, but the feeling of aggression never subsided.

He did not give his boss time to reorganize the pace, but instead firmly controlled the rhythm of the conversation in his own hands.

It seemed to be saying that there was no escape and there was only one way to answer him.

What a cruel person.

The flame in the kerosene lamp flickered like unstable air. The pressure multiplied, like a huge rock pressing on my shoulders.

The boss tried to regulate his breathing, but he couldn't breathe under the heavy pressure.

He was anxious to get out of this predicament, and said in a panic, "You seem to be in a hurry."

As soon as the words fell, the smile on that gorgeous face froze. The boss couldn't feel the muscles on his face, and he could hardly move the corners of his mouth again.

He froze there.

Almost mechanically, he thought, no one wants to be speculated, especially the strong.

He made a big mistake.

Against the dark background, a huge blank dialogue box obscured the young man's figure from the boss's perspective. The dialogue box read

"It's murderous."

'Now, he wants to kill me!'

The words in black and white occupied all of Jiang Lan's attention.
