Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 44 Reaching the Limit of 1-Star Enhancement

Is this the place?

"It should be here."

"Why is the front door open?"

Then Chen Hao met a group of people.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Oh no, it's Chen Hao."

The person who said this quickly took two steps back.

"What is he doing here?"

"Look, what's that on the ground?"

"Corpses, so many corpses."

Immediately, a group of people with low tolerance for vomiting vomited.

"Chen Hao killed him."

Someone immediately shouted.

The next moment, the person who shouted these words was grabbed by the neck by a strong hand and lifted up.

"What did you say?"

"I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

Chen Hao asked with a smile on his face.

But this appearance is even more terrifying.

"Hehehe," the man could no longer speak. He gripped Chen Hao's right wrist tightly with both hands, kicked wildly with his feet, and his face turned red and purple.

"Let him go."

This person's companion wanted to go up and help, but Chen Hao suddenly looked at the other person.

That cold gaze and powerful aura frightened the other party so much that they stood rooted to the spot, not daring to take a single step forward.

"Mr. Chen, please be magnanimous and let him go."

"He just spoke carelessly and said the wrong thing."

At this point, someone else stepped in to mediate.

Chen Hao ignored the other person completely, making the other person feel very awkward.

Only when he felt the person in his arms was about to die did Chen Hao release his grip and let the person's feet touch the ground.

As soon as he landed, he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath and coughing loudly.

Seeing his miserable state, the others felt sorry for him and became even more afraid of Chen Hao.

"What are you all doing coming up here?"

Chen Hao asked.

"Here's what happened. We saw someone write the word 'help' in blood and hang it outside the window."

So we ran up to see what was going on.

Someone quickly replied.

Just then, the door to the manager's office, which was tightly closed, suddenly opened, and a group of people walked out.

"Someone has come to rescue us."

"Wow!" Then they saw the corpse, and many people vomited.

"Wang Zhen is dead."

"Liu Dahai is dead too."

"Waaah," some people who were close to the corpse couldn't help but cry.

"Stop crying, everyone."

Chen Hao frowned and shouted, instantly silencing the crying.

"Who are you?"

Someone stepped forward, looking at Chen Hao with a defiant expression.

The people behind Chen Hao looked at him with admiration.

Before Chen Hao could speak, someone tugged at the young man who had spoken.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is Mr. Chen. Judging from his appearance, it's very likely that Mr. Chen saved us."

"A middle-aged man said."

He clearly recognized Chen Hao, and after glancing at the Shadow Cat that had been split in two on the ground, he instantly deduced the result.

In his view, only Chen Hao had the ability to deal with this vicious wildcat.

"How did this cat get up here?"

Chen Hao pointed at the corpse of the Shadow Cat and asked.

"We brought them up here."

The middle-aged man spoke in a low voice, his tone filled with regret.

"Did you bring these up?"

Chen Hao never expected to receive such an answer.

"good."

Then, the middle-aged man began to explain.

It turns out that the "Shadow Cat" was found by a cat-loving woman in their office while she was collecting tree branches.

At that time, for some reason, Shadow Cat fainted, so the cat-loving woman picked it up and put it in her office.

Everyone else wanted to kill the cat and eat it.

After all, their food supply was running low. When they occasionally ventured into the forest, they dared not go too deep and could only pick some wild fruits or mushrooms that others had certified as edible.

As for wild animals, they are inexperienced and difficult to hunt.

But the cat-loving woman wouldn't budge, standing in front of the Shadow Cat and blocking the crowd.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Shadow Cat, who was lying on the tiles, woke up.

The first thing I did when I woke up was to slap that cat-loving woman.

They immediately disemboweled her.

This startled everyone, and someone quickly grabbed a wooden stick and struck.

But the Shadow Cats were extremely fast, and they couldn't hit them at all, so more people were killed.

The others were so frightened that they quickly hid in the manager's office. Then, using the blood of a person who had been scratched, they wrote the word "Help" on a white shirt and showed it to the people below through the open window.

The building's windows are all one-way glass, so during the day, people inside can see out, but people outside cannot see inside.

So this is the only way to get others to see it.

After the middle-aged man finished explaining, the group of people who had run up suddenly understood.

Then, as if they had planned it beforehand, they looked at the person who was still sitting on the ground, clutching their neck.

The man lowered his head in shame, not daring to even cough loudly.

Chen Hao came to rescue people, but he made it sound like he came to kill them.

Suddenly, everyone understood Chen Hao.

"Alright, now that the culprit has been dealt with, I won't stay any longer."

"You'd better dispose of the body properly; it'll start to stink if you leave it there too long."

Chen Hao said.

"We will."

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen, for saving our lives."

Chen Hao didn't say anything more, just waved his hand and turned to leave.

Everyone watched Chen Hao's departing figure with mixed feelings.

Chen Hao continued downstairs, while also examining the three cards that had just fallen.

Two white and one blue.

White cards are all resource cards, specifically meat cards and coal cards.

Chen Hao already has nine white coal cards, and with this one, he'll have a total of ten.

The blue card is an equipment card.

[One-Star Equipment Card (Blue) - Steel Claws: Forged from refined steel, hard, sharp, and with armor-piercing effect; usable three times a day]

Chen Hao has no use for it.

"Use ten coal cards for conversion."

Soon, the ten white coal cards inside Chen Hao's body merged together, turning into a ball of light.

The light sphere constantly changes color.

"Withdraw money."

Chen Hao continued to mutter to himself.

Soon, the color of the light sphere was fixed.

blue.

Chen Hao's face darkened.

But a smile quickly appeared on his face.

"good."

It was a blue [Enhancement Card].

Chen Hao used it without hesitation.

The [Enhancement Card] transformed into a blue light spot and entered Chen Hao's body.

Chen Hao chose a quiet corner, stood there for a while, and then the enhancement effect ended.

"It seems like I don't feel anything."

Chen Hao clenched his hands. His strength had indeed increased, but compared to the power he currently possessed, the increase was too small.

At the same time, a notification sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations, your physical fitness has reached the limit of one star."

This surprised Chen Hao. "Has it reached its limit?"

"How many enhancement cards did I use?"

After thinking it over carefully, Chen Hao arrived at the correct answer.

Two purple and four blue, a total of six.

"I wonder how many enhancement cards others need to reach the one-star limit."

Chen Hao couldn't help but think.

"We won't be able to use enhancement cards anymore."

"No, it's that you can't use a one-star enhancement card."

"There are very likely to be two-star and three-star enhancement cards as well."

"But where can we find two-star and three-star cards?"

Chen Hao shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Back on the first floor, Ma Tao's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Hao, and he quickly went to stand in front of him.

"Brother Chen, there's too much meat and not enough salt."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao glanced at the salt cards in his card pool.

Six one-star white salt cards can be combined to create two one-star blue cards.

"Bring that basin."

"Okay."

Ma Tao happily went to get the basin.

"synthesis."

Chen Hao muttered to himself.

After Ma Tao brought the basin over, Chen Hao took out two blue salt cards, and forty catties of white salt appeared out of thin air, filling the basin.

"Take it and use it."

"Okay."

Ma Tao called over someone, and together they carried the basin to the others to use for marinating meat.

"There aren't enough cards."

Chen Hao looked at the cards he owned.

So he put Ma Tao in charge of the transaction of exchanging meat for cards.

Six pounds of meat, in exchange for a card.
