--------------------------------------------------
The impact of the real beauty policewoman had already shattered the atmosphere I had forcibly created, so I didn't even think about keeping up appearances anymore.
With the feeling of just finishing up the remaining work, I took the crowbar and finished smashing the last cop's head.
"Is it all over now?"
Unlike when we first met, the precinct chief, looking like all his energy had been drained, asked me weakly, as if wanting to finish quickly.
But it wasn't over yet.
I opened the status window.
▷Current Packets: 7.49p
Killing 14 cops had unexpectedly earned me a generous 6.55p. Thanks to that, I wouldn't have to worry about not having enough points to extract traits.
I closed the status window and looked at the real purpose of my dance with blades on this stage.
『Bang Jin-gu』
Traits: 「Latent Potential (lv.1)」/「Self-Centered (lv.4)」
Guidelines?
All bullshit.
It might seem that way to a third party, but I was the one who initially intended to use the two people caught in the act at the convenience store as bait. I was the one who considered killing the psycho just by looking at his traits.
Saying that I killed him because I felt threatened was absurd.
Nevertheless, the reason I put on airs and gave a long speech was to kill the cops and earn points, and to use those points to obtain this man's 「Latent Potential (lv.1)」.
"Why did you do it?"
"Pardon?"
"Did you think I wouldn't know? Why did you tell the station chief that I was hiding weapons?"
Of course, it was all nonsense. I fought by tearing off the wall-mounted lighting because I had no weapons; what weapons are you talking about?
This was just a show to make others think there was a reason.
"What, what are you talking about!"
"You reported it over the radio. Or how else would I know your name?"
"I'm Jin─"
"That's enough. What's the point of hearing the reason? Just die."
"No─"
Smash─
I quickly smashed his head before he could say anything else.
I knew the man's name, and the man was flustered by my nonsense, looking as if he'd been caught doing something bad, so others seemed to think so too.
Meanwhile, I opened the status window on the man's corpse.
「Latent Potential (lv.1)[U]
☑ The increase per level becomes higher as the level increases.
☐ Trait Effect +1%
☒ Trait slot added upon reaching lv.10
▶Level Change: 8p
▶Transfer to Storage: 8p
Unique.
Just by the name, I thought it would be a very special trait, but I didn't know it would be this special. A unique trait.
However, as soon as I saw the effect of the trait, the joy of the trait's rank vanished from my mind.
'As expected, the initial performance is trash.'
As I expected from the moment I saw the name, the initial value at level 1 was so low that it seemed like it came from an R-rank trait.
However, the fact that the increase per level becomes higher as the level increases made the low value a problem that could be overlooked.
What caught my eye was the additional effect of adding a trait slot.
'If there's a limit to the number of traits, then it's a no-go….'
The very existence of a trait slot was a problem. The existence of a trait slot meant that there was a limit to the number of traits.
I had expected that if I collected traits infinitely, there would come a day when even a monster would have its head smashed like a common zombie. Because if I collected traits infinitely, I could become infinitely strong.
But if there's a limit to the number of traits, I can't just pick up any trait like filling a catalog. I have to be picky and only eat high-ranked, high-performance traits.
Also, as time goes by, the number of traits will be the same as that of other people, so it will become even more difficult to single-handedly dominate.
It was an inevitable limitation that would make my head ache in many ways.
First, I transferred 「Latent Potential (lv.1)」 to storage before the status window disappeared.
'I almost lost a U-rank trait.'
As if to prove it wasn't just any U-rank, it required 8p even at level 1.
I didn't have 8p, but fortunately, perhaps because he had a U-rank trait, he gave me a whopping 6.94p, so thankfully, the unique trait didn't evaporate in vain.
「Hacking」
▷Access to individual trait data available
▷Current Packets: 6.43p
▷Storage (4/5): 「Social Anxiety (lv.1)」/「Cold-Blooded (lv.3)」/「Brawler (lv.1)」/「Latent Potential (lv.1)」
My storage only had one slot left. If I hadn't implanted 「Exorcism (lv.2)」 in Ji Wi-han, it would have been full.
It seemed like I should leave some room in case I unexpectedly found a trait I wanted to obtain and needed points to send it to storage and to empty the storage.
"Is it really all over now?"
"Yes."
"You said you were going to Seongnam City, right? Could you leave quickly?"
The leader who asked Ji Wi-han for help was no longer there. There was only a middle-aged woman who couldn't easily accept the rapidly changing world and was complaining of fatigue.
"Um. It's late, so can I stay at the hotel for just one night and then leave?"
"Do whatever you want."
I had no reason to stay here since there was nothing more to gain anyway, but it seemed like it would be night if I was delayed going to Jamsil, so I decided to rest for a day and leave early.
It was different from when I went to the net-kama alone before. Back then, most of the roads were alleys, so it didn't matter if the view was narrow, but the road to Jamsil had many big roads, so it was dangerous to move at night.
'And she said she'd let me.'
Decisively, I couldn't leave because of the expectation that I might be able to do it with the glamorous beauty.
The Coex faction had caught all the cops, so it had become vague, but who knows? Ji Wi-han might be the kind of woman who must keep her word.
'You think so too, right?'
My dick, which had been staging a surprise protest since I saw the real beauty policewoman, nodded as if agreeing, covered by the waistband of my underwear.
It was quite embarrassing because the pressure was different when I staged a surprise protest due to suddenly having a late growth spurt, but it was still a change I couldn't hate.
The precinct chief left the conference room with some police officers who seemed to be his close aides, ending his permission, which wasn't really permission at all.
I don't know how the Coex group will change in the future. The mentally broken precinct chief might mistreat them, or they might find a suitable compromise and manage it well.
Either way, it was none of my business.
"Let's go too."
"Yes."
"Excuse me."
Just as I was about to leave the conference room with the crowbar, a pleasant voice stopped us.
I turned my head and saw the real beauty policewoman approaching and looking straight at me.
"You said you were going to Seongnam City, right?"
"That's the plan."
"I have to go to Bundang too, could I possibly accompany you?"
My dick, suppressed by the waistband of my underwear, started a second surprise protest as if to say, "Hurry up and nod."
Controlled by my dick, I had no choice but to nod. It was irresistible.
At my permission, the police officers, who had been quiet as mice, began to stir.
I understood it and found it funny. It must be like hearing the sudden marriage announcement of an idol they were simping for.
"We're going to stay at the hotel for one night and leave, what about you?"
"I'll wait at the hotel entrance in the morning."
"Do that."
I had hoped she would say she would follow me to the hotel, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.
Still, I was able to smile contentedly at the fact that I would be with the real beauty for a while, who was a pleasure to look at.
I thought she was just a pie in the sky, but now she was a pie I could touch. Even though I knew it wasn't going to happen, I couldn't help but expect that maybe I could eat it, so I couldn't help but smile.
'Who knows? Maybe that woman has something she wants and will give it to me.'
We left Coex, receiving the stinging gazes of the police officers who had been fixed on us since the real beauty policewoman decided to join us, and entered the hotel penthouse.
Although there were corpses piled up in one room, it was so large that I could just close that room and spend the day without any problem.
However, unless there were no other vacant rooms, there would be plenty of vacant rooms since all the cops were dead, so I had no intention of sleeping next to corpses.
"Fortunately, they didn't take everything."
"I know. I was wondering what would happen if they took this too."
When the precinct chief came, all the guns were confiscated. The police officers who came in droves were glaring with their eyes wide open, so I had no choice but to hand them over willingly.
But just before leaving the penthouse, I had confirmed that the two revolvers I had hidden and fixed in place, telling them to just pull the trigger without being afraid, were still there.
That was why I came back to the penthouse to retrieve them.
Fortunately, the revolvers were still there even after going to the conference room. Moreover, it was the spare revolver that I told them to use after using up one, so all five bullets were loaded.
After retrieving all the revolvers, I was about to check if there was anything else to take from the penthouse since I had come all the way here.
"Huh?"
The inner room opened and two beauties, who had changed into intact clothes unlike before, came out. Their hair was slightly wet, so it seemed like they had stayed in the penthouse and showered while I was dancing with blades in the conference room.
"Is it all over now?"
"Yeah. It's all over."
"But why are you back here…."
"I was wondering if I had left anything behind. And there's something I need to receive."
"Something you need to receive? Ah…."
When I turned my head and looked at the glamorous beauty standing behind me, the slender beauty trailed off as if she understood what I meant.
"You didn't fight, did you? Then that's also─"
"Ga-hee."
Just as the slender beauty was about to argue in a tone that implied she was going to take it for granted as if nothing had happened, the glamorous beauty subtly grabbed her sleeve and dissuaded her.
"Okay."
Then she stepped forward and nodded.
My dick, which had been quiet while coming to the hotel, started another surprise protest as if to say it was ready to sortie at any time.
