In Lu Luo's lounge, the discussion about Zhou Kai's talent sequence continued.
"Sequence C-99 - Ambition of the Unlucky, a rare destiny-type sequence. The host of this sequence will always encounter extremely bad results in whatever they do, but they will eventually overcome their destiny and achieve victory.
They might fail 99 times, but the last time will definitely succeed, because this is the ambition of the unlucky!"
Lu Luo was once again shocked. This sequence... sounded like something else! Was the Ambition of the Unlucky Kai-ge's unwillingness to accept his fate?
"Uh, Kai-ge, tell me about the specific effects of your second sequence, please? Is it powerful?" Lu Luo was genuinely curious.
"I came to you because of my first sequence. Why are you always focusing on my second sequence?
What's wrong with being unlucky? This world is full of oppression and discrimination against the unlucky. When will the unlucky rise up?"
Lu Luo held down the somewhat agitated Zhou Kai. Seeing him like this, he felt too awkward to ask about the Ambition of the Unlucky again.
"Don't get excited, Kai-ge. Eat something and calm down. So, tell me, what did you really come to see me about tonight?"
Zhou Kai glanced around, then lowered his voice and said,
"My first sequence, Evil-Repelling Vulgarity, has the effect of warding off evil. As long as I accumulate enough vulgarity, I can counteract many negative situations.
Of course, that also includes some of the negative effects of the Ambition of the Unlucky, which is why I'm not particularly unlucky.
But starting tonight, my Evil-Repelling Vulgarity has been continuously decreasing, yet nothing happened tonight? I'm a bit confused, and I was also a bit worried about you, so I came to find you."
"He understands perfectly well. He's not worried about you; he knows he might be in danger, and he can't resolve the potential danger himself, nor can he even find the source of the danger, so he came to you. — Profiling is an art, Observer!"
Hearing Zhou Kai's words, Lu Luo immediately narrowed his eyes and became alert.
"You said your Evil-Repelling Vulgarity has been continuously decreasing? Has it continued to decrease since you arrived here?"
"It's fine now, it's stabilized for the moment. Your place is indeed very safe. After saying a few lewd things to you, my vulgarity even shows a slight tendency to increase."
Lu Luo's expression was a little stiff. So Zhou Kai could absorb vulgarity from him? Can this person even speak? Can he speak like a normal human being?
"Never mind, let's eat! We don't usually get to eat this kind of food, don't waste it."
"Alright!"
The two began to eat heartily. Zhou Kai started talking to Lu Luo about his dreams and future. In the wasteland, it was normal for young people to talk about their dreams.
"I was born in North Ring, which is a poor place, but I believe that even if we live like ants, we should have the ambition of a swan.
The purpose of our higher education is to help our hometown escape poverty, not for us to escape our impoverished hometown. What do you think, Luo-ge?"
Is this what young people in the wasteland era are like? Zhou Kai's ability to say such words truly shocked Lu Luo.
Although Lu Luo felt that what Zhou Kai said was excellent, he still couldn't help but retort,
"Isn't it rather that your hometown has finally gotten rid of the impoverished you?"
"Yes, your existence lowered the average standard of your hometown. Once you leave, your hometown will no longer be poor. — Profiling is an art, Observer!"
Zhou Kai: "...Luo-ge, if you can't speak properly, say less.
My dream used to be to become a Hunter, because I grew up listening to guardian stories, and I yearned for the world outside the wall.
But later I learned that becoming a Hunter is actually so difficult. Not only do you have to become an Awakened, but you also need extremely high personal qualities. Hunters are all elites.
However, I have already awakened a talent sequence and have a certain aptitude for being an Awakened. Once I complete my contract with Blue Sky Biology, maybe I really will have a chance."
Zhou Kai's face was full of piety and yearning, which made Lu Luo Can't help it say again,
"Is it really that hard to become a Hunter? But I was invited by a Hunter captain just this afternoon!"
"I feel like your words caused over 20,000 points of mental damage to him and reduced his mental value by 50%. Can this young man handle it?!"
As expected, Lu Luo's words instantly deflated Zhou Kai's spirit. He stood with his mouth half-open, looking at Lu Luo with a conflicted expression.
"Never mind, tell me about yourself, Luo-ge. Do you have any ideals or dreams?"
Lu Luo narrowed his eyes, as he hadn't been in this world for very long, so he didn't have much to reflect on.
After being thrown into the river in his previous life, he had become quite pragmatic. Now, he simply wanted to become stronger.
"I want Xenomorph! Lots and lots of Xenomorph. I really, really want them."
"Xenomorph? What do you want Xenomorph for?" Zhou Kai was a bit strange.
"Nonsense, of course to absorb them!"
"I was originally a biology student, and biology is my lifelong pursuit. I want to see more Xenomorph creatures, expand my horizons.
Then I'll... collect them all, enrich my knowledge, grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories."
Lu Luo almost blurted out "eat them all," but managed to hold back. However, Zhou Kai interrupted him.
"Luo-ge, weren't you studying botany and pharmacology before? Always with flowers and plants. How did you change now?"
Lu Luo was momentarily speechless, but he quickly came up with the correct reason and explanation.
"Because of this sudden Xenomorph incident, I had an epiphany. I realized that spending all my time with flowers and plants has no future. Only by understanding more and stronger Xenomorph can I become powerful!"
"It's not good to be too strong either; you'll be abused to death by the Xenomorph. The great S-rank sequence Observer hasn't evolved to level 2 yet."
"So that's it! It seems Luo-ge's ambitions are also very grand!"
"Of course, Kai-ge, let's eat first."
The two concluded their discussion about dreams and continued to deal with the food in front of them.
After eating and drinking their fill, Zhou Kai's expression began to turn strange.
"Luo-ge, I feel something is wrong."
"Something is wrong? What is it?"
"My Evil-Repelling Vulgarity has started to decrease again, and it's decreasing even faster than before. It's constantly decreasing, what's going on?
It's over, it's over. The Evil-Repelling Vulgarity I accumulated before will probably be used up tonight."
Hearing Zhou Kai say this, Lu Luo's expression also became serious. Danger had appeared again. This was the Blue Sky Pharmaceutical's lounge area, it didn't make sense!
"It seems someone doesn't want us to rest well."
