The next morning, Wen Wen went out for a walk and found no one was following him, which put him at ease.
He wasn't sure if it was because the Hunter Association was too busy to spare anyone, or if their suspicion of him hadn't reached a critical point, which was why no one was monitoring him.
However, it was good this way, as he didn't have to be too reserved.
Returning home, he entered the bathroom, grabbed a large bag of food, and then appeared in The Disaster Containment Facility. Wen Wen was now quite proficient at this entire operation.
For the next period, he planned to spend most of his time in the facility, training.
Uncle Gong's guidance before his accident was very important. If he could utilize it well, his strength should improve significantly. He no longer wanted to be a supporting character next to the strong.
"The key to breaking through from the exploration level to the mastery level is to explore your own limits and then find a way to surpass them!
But my situation is very different... Perhaps I'm not even considered a superpower user at all." Wen Wen sat before the central hub of the disaster zone, trying to find the key to his own progress.
All his abilities were not his own, but belonged to the monsters he had imprisoned in the facility. Therefore, training using Uncle Gong's methods might be a futile effort.
Perhaps he only needed to continue capturing new monsters to gain stronger power.
But for now, Wen Wen decided to try training to gain more powerful combat abilities.
The disaster central hub area was vast, enough for Wen Wen to practice. He set a timer and began to run at full speed.
To break through limits, one must first understand them!
...
After training in the central hub area for a whole day, Wen Wen, carrying a few blood bags, went to the female vampire's cell.
He now knew what he could achieve with his current abilities. If he wanted to become stronger, relying solely on brute force wouldn't work.
Therefore, he wanted to learn some vampire combat methods from the female vampire. For Wen Wen, who primarily relied on his vampire physique at this stage, there was no combat method more useful than that of vampires.
At this moment, the female vampire was sitting on the ground, looking somewhat listless. Recovering Wen Wen's entire hand, plus Wen Wen's high-intensity training throughout the day, all consumed her energy.
She was like a battery, providing energy to Wen Wen. Upon seeing Wen Wen, she didn't give him any pleasantries.
"I'm here to ask you a few questions. You must answer truthfully," Wen Wen said, sitting cross-legged in front of the cell.
The female vampire turned her face away, refusing to look at Wen Wen. She clearly had no intention of answering any of his questions. Just because Wen Wen was her feeder didn't mean she had to obey him.
Well, she now considered Wen Wen her feeder…
"Let me ask a simple one first. What's your name? I've had you captured for so long and still don't know your name," Wen Wen asked with a smile.
The female vampire remained still, her eyes cold and expressionless. She was a bloodthirsty monster, devoid of emotion.
Wen Wen wasn't angry. Instead, he chuckled, took out a long straw, inserted it into a blood bag, and placed the other end above the female vampire's cat bowl.
"If you tell me, I'll squeeze a little for you. Opportunity knocks but once."
The female vampire's icy demeanor cracked. Revealing a trivial piece of information like her name could earn her a sip of blood. Should she agree, or should she agree…
"My name is Tao Qingqing…" she said softly.
"Good, that's a nice name. It's a shame you're a vampire. You know, there are plenty of eligible young men in the Huafu District who can't find wives! Here's a treat for you."
Wen Wen squeezed a small amount of fresh blood over. The female vampire, Tao Qingqing, quickly cupped her cat bowl and began to suck. Then, she grinned and said to Wen Wen.
"Hehehe, put yourself in your place. You're just a pet. Come on, bark like a dog for me."
"You stupid bastard hunter, don't push your luck. I am a noble blood race!" Tao Qingqing screamed, her fangs and sharp nails extending simultaneously, like a startled kitten.
Wen Wen was not intimidated. Even if she exploded on the spot, she wouldn't pose a threat to him. "Two sips… three sips, and no more."
Tao Qingqing's ferocious expression softened slightly. If it were two or three sips… it wasn't entirely out of the question!
Wen Wen smiled. This was his goal: using blood as bait, gradually breaking down the female vampire's psychological defenses, making her tell him everything she knew.
"Alright, enough joking. This is the second question: when did you become a vampire?"
"Two years ago…"
After that, for every question Wen Wen asked, he would squeeze some fresh blood into the cat bowl. Initially, they were trivial matters, but later they became crucial questions about how vampires fight and train.
A sip was not too little, and a whole bag was not too much. Tao Qingqing did not hold back and told Wen Wen everything she knew, causing Wen Wen's eyes to gradually brighten.
After all the remaining blood bags were consumed, Wen Wen had a general understanding of how he should use his abilities. Sudan Novel Network
Tao Qingqing also understood Wen Wen's intentions, but her vampire instincts made it impossible for her to refuse the blood. For vampires, blood was far more addictive than alcohol or tobacco, comparable to certain addictive illegal substances, and could not be resisted by willpower alone.
Nowadays, some youth novels liked to pair pretty young girls with handsome vampires, which indeed looked attractive. But Wen Wen knew that in reality, such things were almost impossible.
It was akin to asking an addict to guard a pile of unsupervised marijuana all day and not take a single hit. It was almost impossible.
From how easily Tao Qingqing abandoned her integrity under the temptation of blood, this conclusion could be clearly drawn.
"Knowing all this, I will become stronger…" Wen Wen muttered after finishing his questions.
...
Time passed like a fleeting white horse. In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
For the past half month, Wen Wen had been training in the facility. When he was tired, he would go out for a stroll to show his presence, lest the Hunter Association suspect him of doing anything improper.
During this time, he stole another box of blood from the hospital. This time, there were no complications, so after leaving some equivalent valuables, he slipped away.
With the vampire physique, Wen Wen found it much easier to do petty thievery. Unlike before, when he had to scout the terrain and devise complex plans, now he could just choose a hospital and act.
... Doing petty thievery was something he had to do for his cases before, not something he wanted to do himself, really!
