Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 21 - Monsters

Am I really that frightening?

In the supermarket, Xu Yao's slight shrinking motion inflicted great hurt on Chen Feng.

Upon self-examination, his physique was indeed robust, with his black loose T-shirt bulging impressively.

The muscle lines resembled flowing water, clear and defined, with the deltoids being rather inflated.

But surely, it still wasn't as exaggerated as Xu Dongtai's towering height of 1.85 meters?

No one could answer his question.

The somewhat timid Xu Yao was quickly escorted by Li Hongxia to the sofa area behind the shelves, where she put down her backpack and quietly did her homework.

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't intervene and stood silently at the cash register, taking payments.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Yao will also eat dinner here later on."

"I'll order two more dishes separately, please don't mind."

Li Hongxia soon came over to the cashier, whispering to Chen Feng.

After understanding the situation, Chen Feng learned that Xu Yao had just finished her tutoring class and happened to be picked up by Li Hongxia.

Due to her grandfather returning to the countryside yesterday, no one was home to cook, so she simply brought her over here.

Understanding the helplessness of a single mother, Chen Feng nodded and naturally did not mind.

Time passed by.

Dinner was soon delivered; Li Hongxia paid separately for two more dishes, one meat and one vegetarian.

The three of them devoured the meal, with Chen Feng's appetite soaring, restraining himself to eat only till he was eighty percent full.

Even so, all the food was polished off clean, leaving only some oil stains and scraps.

"Xiao Feng, your physique is really well-trained."

"No wonder you managed to subdue those two hooligans easily last night."

As Li Hongxia cleared the meal boxes, she glanced at his ever more robust figure and couldn't help but compliment.

Xu Yao, sitting beside, also stealthily took a few glances, helping to clean up without daring to speak.

"Just a hobby." Chen Feng smiled, without elaborating much on his boxing practice.

The two chatted sporadically; meanwhile, more customers arrived, and Chen Feng resumed cashiering.

There was a wall-mounted LCD TV in the supermarket that ordinarily didn't attract much attention.

But tonight, there was news being broadcasted, capturing the gaze of several customers.

[According to reports, at 1:18 PM today, a jewelry store robbery occurred on Qingshi Street.]

[The robbed store was named Fuxiang Gold Store, struck at a critical moment when their vault was open... There were three robbers, one of whom was injured by the store's security. They fled with ten kilograms of gold bars and jewelry worth a million yuan!]

[The Security Bureau has issued a wanted notice, with a reward of two hundred thousand yuan for any provided clue...]

The news footage and audio came out in succession; Chen Feng glanced at it.

This was the robbery that took place opposite the Martial Arts Hall in the afternoon; the reported details were almost the same as what he witnessed and later overheard the discussions inside the Martial Arts Hall.

"Ten kilograms of gold bars."

"In Chi Country, gold is around six hundred yuan per gram, even without considering the jewelry, that's at least six million stolen?"

Calculating briefly, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

The prices in Chi Country and the previous Earth's Xia Country were very similar; for many ordinary people, six million was an astronomical sum, enough for a carefree life in Nanjiang City.

He suddenly understood why Xu Dongtai looked so upset during the day.

"What a pity that those guys were masked..."

Shaking his head, Chen Feng thought that if there was a chance to encounter them, he might also report them for a bounty.

Then the news continued, and customers came and went.

Time passed, and midnight arrived once more.

After Li Hongxia finished cleaning, Chen Feng actively closed the rolling shutter of the supermarket.

Glancing over, the little girl Xu Yao was dozing off, sitting on an electric scooter with her backpack, her head nodding off.

"Let's go, Xiao Feng, take care on your way back."

"Okay, Sister Hongxia, you and Xiao Yao take it slow too."

"Alright, Xiao Yao, say goodbye to your brother."

"Goodbye, Brother Chen Feng."

"Goodbye."

Gently waving his hand, Chen Feng, carrying a box of Energy Bars given by Aunt Zhang and holding a bag of clothes, turned and walked through the dark streets.

The dim yellow street lights cast their glow, and the scent of street-side kebabs wafted once again.

Feeling a bit hungry again, he casually opened the box and took out an Energy Bar, tore the wrapper, and stuffed it in his mouth, crunching it.

He walked and swallowed, passing by other drunkards along the way.

His tall stature cast a long shadow under the dim lighting, several street lamps had exposed wires, flickering inconsistently.

Tap, tap!

Footsteps echoed as Chen Feng passed through an alleyway.

Suddenly, his figure froze, and his hairs stood on end.

He instantly perceived an intense malice, as if material.

Glancing sideways, the alley was pitch-black, as if covered in dense ink, where one couldn't see their own fingers.

But distinctly, a pair of blood-red eyes stood out.

Evil, icy cold.

The continuous crunching sound kept echoing, sending shivers down his spine.

In that instant, his heart chilled and Chen Feng, who had thought he was being retaliated against by Zhao Jin, came to his senses.

"What the hell is that?!"

Tap, tap!

Abrupt clicking of footsteps, the owner of the blood-red eyes suddenly charged at him.

With the malice icy cold, Chen Feng smelled a blend of blood and foul odor.

Without a second thought, he twisted his body, holding the paper box and clothing bag, and sprinted away!

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap!

The dry air rushed into his nostrils, his blood heating up and agitated.

At this moment, his heart became the engine igniting the flames, his veins scorching hot; Chen Feng had never been so exhilarated and horrified.

Monster!

Definitely a monster!

The thought flashed by, and the streets of the night in his eyes shook continuously.

He had assumed Earth Star was just a world with a unique school of martial arts, far more ordinary compared to the mysteries in the Dream Realm.

But now, the appearance of this monster let him see the extraordinary beneath the neon-lit city.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap!

His steps accelerated, and Chen Feng ran dozens of meters in one go.

It wasn't until the malice sensed by his Perception Talent gradually faded away that he looked back.

The streetlights were dim, the blood-red eyes nowhere to be seen.

As if everything before was just an illusion.

"Didn't chase me?"

"Or perhaps..."

Pondering inwardly, thanks to his enhanced physical condition, Chen Feng wasn't gasping for breath.

He had no doubt about the realness of the malice he had just felt.

The Perception Talent allowed him to vaguely gauge the strength of the red eyes – if there was contact, it could easily kill him.

Thinking so, and looking again at the pitch-black night sky,

Although he was extremely curious, he dared not approach the alleys again.

"Let's go back for now."

"Come back and take a look during the day tomorrow."

Suppressing his curiosity, Chen Feng exhaled, noticing only then that his face was covered in cold sweat without knowing when.

He wiped it off on his clothes,

Then quickly turned and left.

About ten minutes later, he was back inside his apartment complex.

Click!

Once the door was shut and he was inside the simply furnished quiet space, Chen Feng truly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, and hurriedly lay in bed.

He thought he would fall asleep quickly, but to his surprise, the shadow of the monster persisted in his mind and wouldn't dissipate.

"Monster..."

Chen Feng muttered.

Not afraid, but somewhat excited.

If there was a monster, then transcendent beings were very likely to exist.

Could there really be some connection between dreams and the real world?

With this thought, his mind surged like waves.

After being disturbed for a long time, and not knowing what time it was in the early morning,

His emotions finally calmed down, and he closed his eyes to sleep.
