9: Chapter 9 Blessing
"Tell me, what is this Soul Reagent?"
Liu Han replied, "Master, the Soul Reagent can enhance the physical attributes of the Awakened."
Qin Xiaogan nodded and picked up a Soul Reagent from the box.
He tilted his head back and took a large gulp.
Qin Xiaogan smacked his lips a few times.
Hmm, strawberry flavor.
[Attribute Point +1]
Qin Xiaogan's eyebrows shot up.
Eye of the Undead.
[Name: Soul Reagent (Intermediate)]
[Effect: Attribute Point +1]
[Note: Provides a massive boost to pure soul Awakened entities.]
After a moment of thought, Qin Xiaogan said, "Divide these dozen or so boxes among yourselves. They're useless to me."
Liu Han's face lit up with joy. "Long live the Master! Long live, long live!"
Qin Xiaogan looked up at the clock on the wall.
"If nothing goes wrong, the Investigation Bureau should be arriving soon."
Xiao Heizi, who was cataloging the supplies from Heaven on Earth nearby, suddenly had a change in expression.
"Master, what should we do? There's still so much gold."
Liu Han glanced at Xiao Heizi with disdain. "Gold is worth jack shit. The Soul Reagent is what's truly valuable."
Qin Xiaogan frowned. "Shut up."
The two of them quickly covered their mouths.
Qin Xiaogan paced over to Xiao Heizi.
[Blessing]
"Flame, Sword Hero, Strength, Peerless."
In an instant, four orbs of light shot out from Qin Xiaogan's palm and into Xiao Heizi's body.
"Ah!"
Xiao Heizi's body gradually became transparent, his face contorting into a hideous grimace like a vengeful ghost.
Liu Han swallowed hard beside them. "Master, I... I have some business to attend to."
Just as Liu Han was about to slip away, several orbs of light surged into his body.
"Fuck!"
Qin Xiaogan looked at the two rolling on the ground and sighed. "Two useless wastes."
Only by enduring pain that ordinary people cannot withstand can one reach heights that ordinary people cannot attain.
Every time Qin Xiaogan was killed, he had to experience death and agony.
If he hadn't been an assassin in his past life with a mind more twisted than most, he would have gone mad long ago.
He would have gone mad long ago.
[Congratulations to the host for completing a Blessing. Attribute Points +20.]
[Congratulations to the host for completing a Blessing. Attribute Points +30.]
"Huff, huff!"
The screams of the two men gradually subsided.
It seemed that the attribute points awarded by the Blessing were determined by the strength of the light orbs.
An F-grade orb rewarded 5 points, while a C-grade orb rewarded 15.
A faint light flickered in Qin Xiaogan's eyes.

"Even their attribute points increased?"
Qin Xiaogan rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
Xiao Heizi looked down at his body with joy.
He let out an occasional strange cry.
"Master! I... I've become a Awakened?"
Liu Han curled his lip. "What's the big deal? Is there anything Master can't do?"
There was a sudden thud.
Liu Han fell to his knees. "Master, you are my second father! My praise for you is like a surging river, unending, and like..."
Qin Xiaogan glared at Liu Han. "Cut the crap."
"Go and move all the supplies to the square."
"As you command, great Emperor Qin."
Xiao Heizi felt a strong sense of crisis; his position as the top bootlicker was under threat.
Qin Xiaogan's brow suddenly furrowed, and he vanished in a flash.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaogan asked, looking at Qin Pan, who was weeping piteously.
Wang Yi said helplessly, "She doesn't want Aunt Huang to leave."
Qin Pan ran over and tugged at Qin Xiaogan's sleeve. "Brother, can Aunt Huang stay?"
Qin Xiaogan stroked Qin Pan's head. "You have to ask Aunt Huang what she wants."
Qin Pan turned around, wiping her tears, and said pitifully, "Aunt Huang, I don't want you to go. Can you please stay?"
Seeing Qin Pan's pitiful state, Aunt Huang's heart softened.
"Aunt Huang will settle these big sisters first, and then I'll come find you, okay, Little Pan?"
Qin Pan pouted. "Really?"
Aunt Huang reached out and gently wiped Qin Pan's tears. "Stay with your brother for now. He can keep you safe."
"Alright, everyone go to the square first," Qin Xiaogan said.
...
"Little Xixi, it looks like they've already left."
Xie Xiyun said with a cold face, "Feng Tao, check the aura here."
Feng Tao's high heels tapped lightly on the floor, and a ripple quickly spread across the entire living room.
Subsequently, lines of different colors slowly emerged.
"Oh?"
Xie Xiyun's brows knitted slightly. "What is it?"
Feng Tao chuckled. "Give your big sister a kiss, and I'll tell you."
Xie Xiyun gave Feng Tao a cold look.
Feng Tao pursed her red lips. "Fine, this line should be the person you're looking for."
A thick, pitch-black line floated quietly in the air, like an uncrowned king.
"This line has a solidified killing intent and a terrifying aura. It must be the one who bombed the Investigation Bureau."
Feng Tao, swaying her slender waist in her high heels, leaned in to carefully observe the other lines.
Feng Tao's eyes lit up. "Little Xixi, remember the Alley Murder Case and the Disappearing Corpse Case?"
Xie Xiyun's gaze sharpened. "The same person?"
Feng Tao stretched, fully revealing her seductive curves. "Exactly."
"There are lines here from many of the victims of those cases."
Xie Xiyun gritted her teeth, a terrifying aura radiating from her. "Find him!"
Enduring the powerful aura, Feng Tao gave a light wave of her delicate hand.
The pitch-black line seemed to be infused with life, quickly flying off in a certain direction.
...
Foot Bath Center — Square.
"Master, there are too many supplies. We don't have enough trucks."
"Master, what should we do with these supplies?"
Xiao Heizi pointed at the remaining supplies on the ground, looking expectantly at Qin Xiaogan.
[System Space]
With a wave of Qin Xiaogan's hand, all the supplies vanished instantly.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Liu Han quickly knelt on the ground. "Master, you are truly Taisui incarnate!"
Xiao Heizi hugged the steel saber he had just found and curled his lip slightly.
Beaten to the punch by this prick again.
"Wang Yi, are they all settled?"
Wang Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, Aunt Huang has already taken most of them away, but..."
Qin Xiaogan rubbed the tip of his nose and said coldly, "Speak."
"Some are unwilling to leave and want to follow you."
Qin Xiaogan was taken aback.
"How many in total?"
Wang Yi thought for a moment and said, "About ten, all young women."
Xiao Heizi suddenly chimed in from the side, "Master, why don't we just start an organization?"
Liu Han echoed, "Yes, yes, an organization is a great idea."
Qin Xiaogan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Then, Qin Xiaogan said to Wang Yi, "Fine. You three take this group and head to the West District immediately."
Xiao Heizi asked, "Master, aren't you coming with us?"
Qin Xiaogan shook his head. "I have my own plans."
Wang Yi pointed at Qin Pan, who was fast asleep in the truck's passenger seat, and asked, "Master, what about her?"
Qin Xiaogan replied, "Take her with you. What I'm about to do isn't suitable for her to be around."
Soon, the three of them each drove a large truck away from the square.
While driving the truck, Wang Yi glanced at the ten light orbs in Qin Pan's small backpack.
Her gaze was incredibly fervent.
This stuff had just allowed her to awaken two abilities; it was simply incredible.
However, she didn't dare to keep them for herself.
These light orbs were intended to be used for training a core team.
