Night fell, and the Chengbei colony was alight with the glow of bright, beautiful lanterns.

Qin Feng was meditating in the hotel room.

“What in the world? Why are the runes moving faster and faster?” he gasped in surprise.

This time, a lot more runes were flying around in the darkness. They were very different from the grey ones he saw earlier and way, way faster than before.

Having spent the entire day training, his consciousness had improved quite a bit. Instead of meditating for only ten minutes, his sessions had now extended to fifteen minutes.

Although it was a mere five-minute increase, it allowed Qin Feng to collect some 100 element runes.

When he finally cracked open his eyes, the world around him looked entirely different.

“It’s already dark outside!”

Despite the fact that the lights in the room were switched off, everything appeared to his eyes in sharp vividness and exceptional detail.

This had always been an ability of Qin Feng’s, but it had never been this crystal clear before.

“Night vision!”

Not only was he able to see things clearly, but if an enemy did appear out of nowhere in the darkness, it was no problem for Qin Feng as he could also sense every tiny movement around him.

Even if he could not see up to 30 meters around him, he could still visualize his surroundings with his mind. It was as if he had darkness itself under his control.

“Are my meditation skills weak in the day because I have a dark ability?”

This very moment, Qin Feng felt like he had been blinded by his own happiness the last time.

Despite his confusion, he did not rest, nor did he continue his practice.

He put on his combat uniform, slung his weapon, put on a hat, and lastly, a mask that obscured his face. Before he left, he slipped Xiaobai into his front chest pocket.

As the night approached, the sounds of the colony grew softer and fainter.

With the growing number of tribes of all kinds, chaos could break out anytime in the colony, and if ending up dead in the drain the next morning wasn’t the preferred way to go, one without skill should really not be going out.

After he had walked past a few barren streets, the all too familiar buzz of human activity bustled the surroundings. The world suddenly became crowded again.

Third Street, known by the locals as the commercial street, was the busiest at this hour. Stalls were set up everywhere along the road, selling all kinds of goods. The path would lead to the most important area, the plaza at the center of it all.

Large canvas tents were laid out on the plaza. Fresh supplies, coupled with a mix of interesting memorabilia, were traded there. Instead of checking out the items one by one, he now possessed the ability to a.n.a.lyze all objects 30 meters around him, saving him a lot of time and trouble.

Suddenly, without explanation, Qin Feng’s heart pounded a little harder. He found himself walking towards a stall operated by an elderly man.

“How much is this?” asked Qin Feng as he picked up a pendant made out of black jade.

With his night vision, he could see that the black jade pendant was infused with the G.o.ddess Guan Yin. There was a smile on the Guanyin’s face. However, her smile rather weird compared to her usual lovely smile.

“This is an ancient martial art a.s.sistance item. It can gather Spirit Qi from your surroundings to enhance the training speed of your Neigong. This is one precious item, I tell you!” said the old man in a convincing vibe.

Hyperbole aside, what the old man said was true, but certainly, no where near as magnificent as he claimed it was.

“Nonsense! Why else would I ask if I didn’t know what this thing is for?” Qin Feng growled while a.s.serting aggression.
