Chapter 17

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

The next morning, before the sun had fully risen, the golden light had already shone on the devastated St. Paul.

The warm sunlight gave hope to the people who had experienced such pain yesterday.

Yes.

The sun came out, and the darkness faded.

The spider monsters were all dead, too, at the hands of the mysterious man wearing the mask.

Today, although the city was destroyed by the monsters, their main target, the people, were intact as well as most of the buildings.

Moreover, this kind of thing was as common as eating and drinking for the people of this world.

Those who had to go to work still went to work, and those who should go to school still went to school.

However, whether they were students or workers today, they all talked about the same topic in their spare time.

That was, who was the mysterious man in the mask?

Almost the entire population of St. Paul was talking about this matter.

Although only a part of what happened yesterday was seen, because of the existence of social media, in a short time, everyone in St. Paul knew that a mysterious man in a mask had saved them.

Saved them all.

Adam, who had just woken up from his sleep, did not know these things. He opened his eyes, and golden sunlight shone into the room.

It was another beautiful day!

He looked at the Balloon of Fear and found that the Balloon of Fear was floating on the ceiling.

Was this the way monsters slept?

It was really strange.

This was also why Adam was familiar with the Balloon of Fear yesterday. If Adam was an ordinary person, he would have been scared out of his wits.

When he woke up early in the morning, he saw a balloon with a hideous smiling face floating around on the ceiling. He was probably going to have a heart attack if he had not expected it.

However, when Adam saw the face of the Balloon of Fear, he was very friendly.

In normal peoples’ eyes, it was a monster, but in Adam’s eyes, he was a friendly monster that he had edited himself.

Although it couldn’t be said that he was like his own child, it was more or less the same.

“Yiya Yiya!”

Seeing that Adam was about to open his eyes, the Fear Balloon also greeted him.

Unfortunately, Adam didn’t understand what he said.

However, the meaning was clearly conveyed to Adam.

Adam smiled at the Fear Balloon. “Good morning, Fear Balloon!”

He took out his cell phone and opened the hot news of the day.

As expected, the hot news of the day was that the Evil God believers had attacked St. Paul.

However, what Adam had not expected was that the hot news that followed was actually about him.

“The mysterious masked man saves St. Paul!”

“St. Paul’s Savior!”

…

Other than the first news, all the other news had similar headlines.

Adam was a little surprised. He had been very low-key when he had made his move yesterday.

How could there be so much heat?

He casually clicked on a piece of news and finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that when he had made his move yesterday, some people in the distance had recorded what had happened and made a video to post on Twitter.

Because it was about the St. Paul Incident, many people clicked on it.

In the end, the popularity of the original video had now surpassed the St. Paul Incident. Everyone was guessing who the mysterious person who had made his move yesterday was.

“At the scene yesterday, that mysterious person wearing a mask was really too cool! He killed all the spider monsters without moving!”

“That’s right, he was really too cool. He saved the entire St. Paul by himself.”

“He is St. Paul’s Hero!”

“I think there’s something wrong. How can anyone kill monsters without moving!”

“Idiot! There’s already the original video. Is there something wrong with your eyes?”

“The video can also be photoshopped!”

“You don’t believe me, right? I’ll give you the address again and let you see what Colonel Barton of St. Paul said!”

Seeing this, Adam became interested.

Colonel Barton?

He knew Colonel Barton’s name very well. He was the supreme commander of St. Paul’s Army and the Supreme Leader of St. Paul’s Special Branch Division.

He also had many achievements in killing monsters.

Opening the video, Adam saw that Colonel Barton had a serious expression as he said, “That mysterious person is very likely a taboo existence that woke up from a deep sleep!”

Taboo existence?

Adam was stunned. He didn’t expect that Colonel Barton would think so highly of him.

But it was also good. He was learning to use an identity to disguise himself.

And when the netizens saw Colonel Barton’s words, they immediately exploded!

“My God! A taboo existence! It’s too scary!”

“Is the background of our Saint Paul’s Hero so big?”

“This taboo existence must be the ancestor of our great Korean underworld nation!”

“Bullsh * T! He is clearly from our American Empire!”

“Hehe, so it’s someone from the great cold underworld nation. It’s not strange for someone to say such words.”

“That’s right. After all, other than monsters, all the powerful awakened ones belong to your great cold underworld.”

Soon, the comment section of the video turned into a keyboard war.

Adam was not interested in these Zhenglun.

After continuing to stay in bed for a while, he got up to wash up and went out for breakfast.

When he left, he did not forget to close the doors and windows of his house to prevent the Fear Balloon from floating out.

Arriving at a breakfast shop, Adam ate his breakfast while thinking.

Right now, his most important task was to become stronger.

And right now, there were only two ways for him to become stronger.

One was to collect materials from all kinds of monsters and constantly edit new monsters to gain strength.

The other was to use the [Absorption Aura] skill from the Fear Balloon to become stronger.

However, the [Absorption Aura] was a skill that directly absorbed life force. The effect was too overbearing.

If he used the life force of an ordinary person to become stronger, first of all, the number of people needed would be astronomical. Secondly, this kind of act did not conform to his worldview.

Although he was not from this world, as a human, he could not do it.

Moreover, monsters could not be encountered every day.

If he used the first method, he would be in a predicament where he couldn’t find monsters.

Things seemed to be stuck here.

Other than the monsters attacking the city, the only place where he could see a large number of monsters was the wilderness.

However, the wilderness was quite dangerous. If it was just around St. Paul, there wouldn’t be any danger.

Those monsters didn’t even have star levels.

Those monsters weren’t of much value to Adam.

Finding Star level monsters could only be in the depths of the wilderness.

However, if it was the depths of the wilderness, even Colonel Barton wouldn’t dare to casually go out.

After thinking for a while, Adam shook his head in amusement.

What was wrong with him?

Before last night, he was just an ordinary person. Now, his strength was almost at the two-star level.

Such strength was not considered weak in the American Empire.

He should be satisfied.

Thinking of this, Adam’s heart calmed down. He was no longer anxious because of his strength.

Now, it was better to wait for the void poison spider to Hatch first.

That was a four-star monster. It was also the most direct increase in strength.

“Why are you here?”
