เข้าสู่ระบบThis kind of situation was exactly what Ray liked to see—competition was always a good thing.During dinner, however, his mind was elsewhere. He was thinking about how to enter the Valor Military Base.'Should I disguise my identity and slip in?' he mused.But if that "Lieutenant Colonel Shay" really was from the Valor Military Base, then his appearance likely wasn't a secret. At the very least, some people would recognize him. If Ray walked in so openly, it would only cause trouble.It was just like when he had gone undercover in Agatha's place.'At the very least, I need some kind of disguise.'A sudden idea struck him.'Can I use my spatial domain to alter my appearance?'If he could detach a person's arms, swap them left and right, and reconnect them perfectly… then a bit of cosmetic modification shouldn't be difficult, right?Once the thought formed, he acted immediately.Ray returned to his room, activated his domain, and stood in front of the mirror to begin "fine-tuni
After the absurd interlude, it was naturally time to get back to serious matters."You managed to hack the satellites?" Ray asked.Celine lay lazily under the blanket, clearly drained. After a moment, she replied, "Mhm. I absorbed another golden snowflake earlier, and my ability improved a lot. My computational power has surged. I still can't fully control the satellites, but I've gained partial access."Ray leaned down and kissed her. "Good job. Help me locate the Valor Military Base.""Alright… but let me sleep for a bit first. I'm completely exhausted right now," she mumbled weakly.Should he call Heather over?Ray chuckled inwardly and began moving his hands.Less than two minutes later, Celine was no longer sleepy at all—instead, she looked bright and alert. She clung to him and bit lightly at his ear. "You jerk… can't you let me rest properly for even a moment?"Ray burst out laughing.But he hadn't woken her for that kind of nonsense.He restrained her hands and said,
Thinking of Travis, Ray couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh.He had decided to protect this settlement for four days.After four days, if the Valor Military Base still hadn't sent anyone to find him, he would leave.Of course, he wasn't idle during that time. Using the phone as a center point, he continuously roamed the surrounding area, searching for possible golden snowflakes.Leah had said golden snowflakes fell here frequently… and she hadn't been exaggerating.Just today alone, Ray encountered three snowfalls—and each one contained a golden snowflake.He collected them all.The amount of ability fluid inside golden snowflakes wasn't much. Based on his experience, they contained about 4 units, 5 units, and 8 units respectively. For someone at nearly 50,000 units, this was negligible.But that was only one day.Even a single day's yield added up over time would be considerable.More importantly, it would push the upper limit of the world's ability energy to a new level
Unfortunately for them, Ray was more than contented in that department.Three-way, four-way, even five-way encounters—so what? Did he look like someone that shallow?He rejected them. All of them.However, the fifth visitor surprised him. It was Leah—the foreign beauty."Ray, are you asleep?" Leah's voice came from outside the ice hut."Not yet. What's up?" Ray replied."Can you walk with me for a bit?" she asked.'Oh? So she even knows how to play hard to get now,' Ray thought to himself."Sure." Ray stepped out.Both of them were ability users, so the cold meant nothing to them. They simply strolled around the ice huts. Even Leah didn't have to worry about getting lost in the endless white."Ray… are you planning to leave here?" After walking a few steps, Leah finally asked.Ray nodded. "I'm not from here to begin with. I'm only staying temporarily. At most, I'll leave in four days."If the Valor Military Base showed up earlier, he would leave earlier. Either way, he woul
After having thoroughly "harvested" his tender batch of beauties, Ray returned to Guillory City.He still needed to keep watch on that phone.The Valor Military Base would never simply make a call, issue a threat, and then leave it at that. They would definitely come looking for him.Unless… that so-called Lieutenant Colonel Shay wasn't from the military at all, and had simply fabricated the identity to intimidate him. If Ray panicked and handed over his supplies, then she—or whoever was behind it—would profit immensely.That was actually quite possible.For example, if that person's ability involved controlling satellites, they could easily obtain Ray's information, even "observe" his battle with Channing and the others. That would allow them to fabricate details convincingly and better impersonate a military officer while intimidating him.Heh. Maybe this "Lieutenant Colonel Shay" was just some middle-aged man scratching his foot somewhere.Ray decided to continue monitoring f
Besides, sending people into Guillory City was effectively an invasion of someone else's territory. Getting chopped down for it—wasn't that only normal?If Bill and the others were sent back intact, it would instead make Ray look weak. Someone had already invaded your territory, and you only expelled them? That was far too soft.Once you showed weakness, others would assume you were easy to bully.That principle applied everywhere.Bill quickly nodded, gratitude written all over his face. "Ray, thanks for the advice. I'll head back now. I kind of miss my wife anyway.""Go," Ray said, already wishing he would leave sooner rather than later.Bill agreed and turned to go. After a few steps, however, he suddenly stopped, looking back. "Ray… what about your side effects?"'What the hell— No, I've changed my mind. I really should silence you,' Ray thought.Seeing Ray's expression darken, Bill froze for a moment, then slapped his own forehead. Right… Ray was from this settlement. If t
Ray raised his "gun" and aimed at Fantasia.Fantasia's bravado instantly shrank. Even though she knew he was only pointing a hand at her, her son had truly been injured. The situation was bizarre and terrifying, and fear rose naturally in her heart."Y-You wouldn't dare!" she shouted, putting up a
Honey hurried to explain, "Babe, listen to me—nothing really happened between him and me. He is doing this on purpose to make you misunderstand me!"Ray, meanwhile, gave her a quick wink. "I'm pretty satisfied with you. Come find me again next time."With that, he turned and went down the emergenc
Ray felt light all over.Sure enough, a person couldn't keep bottling things up forever—the dam would break sooner or later.He went back upstairs, and Leo immediately circled around him, sniffing him a few times before tilting its head as if asking, 'Why do you smell like someone else?'Ray laug
Many TV stations had temporarily switched to breaking news, reporting on the sudden hailstorm.The hail was toxic.That fact had already been confirmed. Experts on the news warned loudly that people must never touch the hail out of curiosity, and absolutely must not lick it. At best, it would caus
