"Forget it! Just tell me about your functions!"
Facing the Demon Hunting System's answer, Chu Feng, who had come prepared, wasn't disappointed.
"Whenever the host kills an Evil Spirit or creatures from the era of the demonic resurgence, the Demon Hunting System can provide unknown rewards. The system also offers soul preservation functions, allowing the host to preserve the souls of creatures with no resistance. For other functions, please explore on your own!"
"Wait, is there Storage Space?"
Considering the system's brief reply, Chu Feng felt something was off. Why did this system seem somewhat reticent?
"The host has one cubic meter of initial Storage Space."
Feeling another sentence being spat out by the system in his mind, Chu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is there a way to expand it?"
"The host has the chance to receive rewards to expand the Storage Space after successfully hunting Evil Spirits, Demons, and such creatures."
Looking at the Starter Gift Package lying quietly in the Storage Space, Chu Feng commanded, "System, open the Starter Gift Package."
"DING!"
"Starter Gift Package opening complete! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Demon Hunting Record, Awakening Potion *1, System Store access, and Language Mastery Gift Package *1."
Demon Hunting Record: Contains various knowledge about demon hunting.
Awakening Potion: Strengthens the user's body, awakens the Demon Hunter's physique, unlocks Spiritual Power Attributes, and other unknown effects.
System Store: A store selling various items, where purchases can be made with currency.
Language Mastery Gift Package: After use, most languages in the world will be mastered.
After reviewing the items in the Starter Gift Package, Chu Feng decisively chose to use them.
"Use all items!"
Following the issuance of his command, Chu Feng immediately collapsed onto the hotel room's large bed!
At seven o'clock the next morning, Chu Feng woke up to the alarm on his phone.
What is this?
Feeling a sea of various demon hunting and language knowledge in his mind, Chu Feng then looked at his strong body in the floor-length mirror by the window. He clenched his fists. Feeling the powerful force bursting within him, he finally laughed silently.

Wearing clothes that had become somewhat tight, Chu Feng checked out of the hotel at the front desk, then took a taxi straight to the mall for a new set of fitting clothes.
Next step, apply for a passport!
Memories from his past life told him that at the beginning of this year, various bizarre events had already started occurring in Western countries. A large group of people claiming to have awakened their Spiritual Power as Exorcists also appeared online. Of course, most of them were still fakes and impostors.
To quickly enhance his strength and survive the upcoming chaotic world, Chu Feng had made his decision on the day he was reborn: he would set off for America immediately after activating the system.
One month later, on November 15, 2025, Chu Feng set foot on American soil for the first time.
Heh, as expected, it has already begun!
Feeling the thick, bizarre aura in the air, along with a faint scent of gunpowder, Chu Feng cracked a smile.
"Open the System Store!"
Looking at the M17 handgun priced at 100 dollars in the System Store, he resolutely clicked the purchase button.
In his Storage Space, a brown handgun appeared immediately, along with 10 standard clips filled with bullets.
Update my American dream: Let this land be free, utterly thorough!
Moving with the crowd, Chu Feng left the New York airport.
"Hey, are you Chinese?"
The taxi driver was a typical African American. Slender and gripping the steering wheel tightly, he kept taking frequent glimpses at Chu Feng in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
"Yes, Chinese. Is it that easy to tell?" Fluent American English spilled from Chu Feng's mouth.
"Of course, 80% of the Asian faces I pick up at the New York airport are Chinese! And most of them are very wealthy!"
A bit surprised by Chu Feng's fluent American English, the young black man took another look at Chu Feng in the rearview mirror.
"Your English is very good; I almost thought you were American. Are you here to travel?"
Sensing the probing in the black man's words, Chu Feng was a bit puzzled.
"Yes, traveling, and also to experience the 'free air' of America."
Not detecting the oddity in Chu Feng's words, the taxi driver suddenly became enthusiastic. With a mysteriously lowered voice, he spoke.
"Hey, brother, you've got to be careful traveling in the United States now! Evil Spirits are everywhere!"
"Evil Spirits? Like the ones in movies?" Chu Feng, hearing the unexpected news, sat up straight. Were Evil Spirits that rampant? Every taxi driver knew about it?
"That's right, those things! I'm not lying to you. Though I've never encountered one, if you go online now, it's full of Evil Spirit attack incidents!"
"But you're lucky you met me!"
As he spoke, the driver suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road, and from nowhere, produced a palm-sized wooden cross and handed it to Chu Feng.
"Brother, this is an exorcism charm I purchased from a famous Exorcist. With this, I guarantee your trip will be safe and sound!"
Chu Feng chuckled while looking at the cross in his hand, sensing no Spiritual Power from it, and handed it back to the expectant, slender figure.
"Thanks, but I probably won't need this thing."
Hearing Chu Feng's refusal, the black man became anxious.
"Don't do this, for only 100 dollars, it's yours!"
"Fifty dollars, just 50 dollars, how about that?"
"Ten dollars, just as a friendship price! It will definitely protect you from Evil Spirit attacks."
As Chu Feng shook his head, the prices the black man offered kept dropping.
"Brother, stop wasting your effort on me. I'm an Exorcist myself! This cross has no Spiritual Power; how can it exorcise anything?" Chu Feng, already getting a bit irritated, directly interrupted the black man before he could finish his sentence.
The black man wasn't angry at being exposed; instead, Chu Feng's words caught his attention.
"Spiritual Power? Exorcist? You're really an Exorcist?" The black driver exclaimed in shock.
"That's right! Any problem with that?" Chu Feng was puzzled by the driver's astonished reaction.
Upon hearing Chu Feng's confirmation, the black man's demeanor became distinctly fawning. He casually tossed the cross out the window and then said, "Mister! No, no, dear respected Exorcist sir, would you mind if we take a little detour from your upcoming trip itinerary?"
"What do you mean?" Chu Feng thoughtfully looked at the suddenly ingratiating black driver.
"Exorcist sir, here's the thing. I have a friend whose home is currently experiencing a lot of strange occurrences, and he urgently needs the help of an Exorcist!"
"Oh? Why haven't you tried that famous Exorcist you know?" A flicker of amusement sparkled in Chu Feng's eyes as he looked at the black man teasingly.
