The Labyrinth of the Monsters

"Foolish, Greed, Angry, Delusional, Living, Dead, all are nothingness. Life is short, a big dream." Baili Yi's tone was calm, but there was a certain desolation in his voice.

Gao Yang silently remembered in his heart.

"That's about it," Baili Yi stood up and stretched his body, "I should be off work now, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Gao Yang watched Baili Yi's figure leave. This guy didn't look like a doctor at all, more like a poet. Anyway, he had obtained quite useful information. Now it can be basically confirmed that there are six major types of beasts: Foolish Beast, Greed Beast, Angry Beast, Delusional Beast, Living Beast, and Dead Beast.

Officer Huang mentioned that there are three types of Angry Beasts: Hunter, Devourer, and Hornblower.

Li Weiwei is most likely a Devourer. At that time, she didn't rush to kill him. The way she tortured herself and the things she said... it seemed more like she wanted to "consume" him.

Auntie He is obviously a Hunter: she didn't say a word and started fighting as soon as they met, very bloodthirsty.

As for the Hornblower, Gao Yang hasn't encountered one yet. If possible, he hopes to never encounter one.

Foolish Beasts, also known as Lost Ones, seem to have three types as well.

Grandpa Liu, who sells hot spicy soup, belongs to the most harmless and gentle type. He should also be the main part of this world. This type of beast seems to be easier to recognize.

The second type is those Lost Ones who are deceiving. Awakened Beings cannot distinguish them solely based on experience and the naked eye. They must rely on special talents to figure it out, such as Baili Yi's [Red Eyes], and the previous "mentally ill person's" [Sense of Smell]. Officer Huang's wife and his own family are probably this type of Lost Ones, but it cannot be ruled out that they are unawakened humans. As long as they don't "test" them, they will always be the "Schrödinger's cat", with the probability of being human or beast.

The third type of Lost One is Wang Zikai. He is too "peculiar" and cannot be analyzed or classified easily.

In addition, a few hours ago, they encountered "Grandpa Zhang". According to reason, he should be the first type of Lost One, but he suddenly went berserk without any signs, and his transformed form was quite strange. It cannot be ruled out that it was the doing of the "White Cat".

Is that White Cat also a beast? Is it possible that it is one of the Foolish, Delusional, Living, or Dead Beasts?

Assuming that each type of beast has three categories, then there are at least 18 types of beasts in this world!

Gao Yang couldn't help but take a cold breath: there is no turning back after awakening, he must quickly join an organization, find a backer, and master more rules. Otherwise, he will always be a "blind player" and can only be at the mercy of others when it gets dark. How long he can survive depends on luck.

...

At noon, Gao Yang's mother and sister came to the hospital to take over for him.

Gao Yang went home to take a shower and rest. He only slept for 4 hours, but he felt refreshed. Since becoming an Awakened Being, his physical fitness has indeed improved significantly, which should be related to the increase in attribute values.

Gao Yang roughly calculated: he can earn 24 Lucky Points by safely passing one day. If he can live for a month, that would be 720 Lucky Points. It would be quite impressive if he could allocate all these Lucky Points to one attribute.

But Gao Yang has already embarked on the path of increasing his Luck coefficient. He is not one to give up halfway and is also very concerned about sunk costs. Therefore, he decided that in the future, half of his Lucky Points would be used to comprehend new talents, half would continue to increase his Luck attribute, and the remaining leftovers would be allocated according to the situation.

In the evening, after Gao Yang finished eating, he went out. Although his mother took a leave for him, he still decided to go to school for evening self-study so that he could communicate with Qing Ling about any updates. Qing Ling was very cautious and never used her phone for communication because it would leave traces. If there was something important, she preferred to talk face to face.

Just as the first session of evening self-study ended, Gao Yang was about to find Qing Ling when Wan Sisi ran over, concerned, "Gao Yang, I heard about your dad... being hospitalized."

"Yeah, he got into a car accident," Gao Yang replied.

"Oh my god, is he okay?" She seemed genuinely worried.

"He has already passed the life-threatening stage, but the situation... is not very good," Gao Yang felt a bit discouraged, "The doctor said he might have to use a wheelchair in the future."

"It won't happen, Uncle will definitely recover smoothly," Wan Sisi comforted, "Two years ago, my uncle also had a car accident. The doctor said he would definitely be paralyzed from the waist down, but he didn't end up being paralyzed. A year later, he could even get out of bed and walk... Although he still needs crutches now, his mobility is not a big problem."

"Thank you," Gao Yang expressed his gratitude. Then he thought: maybe it's because Wan Sisi's uncle is a beast that he was able to recover. Does that mean if his father is a beast, there is a high probability that he can also recover?

Gao Yang was shocked by this thought and shivered: how could he hope that his father is a beast...

Gao Yang's mind was in chaos. When he looked up, he saw that Wan Sisi hadn't left and was looking at him, hesitating.

"Do you have something else?" Gao Yang asked.

"Ah, actually..." Wan Sisi's cheeks turned red, "I wanted to ask if you're free this weekend afternoon. It's my birthday, but forget it, take care of your uncle."

A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.

"Okay..."

"Go, Gao Yang." Qing Ling suddenly appeared, startling Gao Yang.

Wan Sisi looked a bit surprised as she looked at Qing Ling, not knowing what to say.

"I'll go too," Qing Ling added, "Am I welcome?"

"Of course, welcome!" Wan Sisi smiled on her face, but felt a bit embarrassed in her heart. She didn't originally plan to invite Qing Ling, not because she disliked Qing Ling, but because she knew Qing Ling had "misandry". She had invited male classmates to her birthday party this time and was afraid that the atmosphere would be too tense.

Gao Yang quickly made eye contact with Qing Ling, but Qing Ling pretended not to see it.

"So, 2:30 p.m. this weekend at Le Bao Di, don't be late," Wan Sisi said and almost fled.

Qing Ling sat down next to Gao Yang, "I heard about your dad."

"Why do you want to go to the birthday party?" Gao Yang asked in response.

Qing Ling lowered her voice, "You've been getting closer to Little Si recently, and she has become more proactive towards you than before. I need to observe carefully to see if she suspects you."

"You're overthinking..."

```"Did I overthink about Li Weiwei's matter?"

Gao Yang was speechless.

......

For the next two days, Gao Yang went to replace his mother and sister every night, returned home in the morning to shower and sleep. After waking up in the afternoon, he tidied up and went to the evening self-study, met with Qing Ling, and asked Wan Sisi a few English questions.

His father stayed in the intensive care unit for 48 hours, then was transferred to the key care ward. On the third morning, he woke up once, but couldn't speak, could only blink his eyes, and soon fell asleep again.

Just like this, it was enough to sweep away the gloom over the family's head. His mother's tightly locked brows relaxed for the first time, she even had the mood to put on makeup again, and his sister also showed a long-lost smile, at the same time, she picked up the traditional skill of teasing Gao Yang.

On Sunday morning, Gao Yang returned home, took a shower, and woke up after only a short nap.

He opened the system, and the lucky points had accumulated to 85.

He spent 60 lucky points to comprehend a new talent, almost as expected, the comprehension failed. With the remaining 25 points, he decided to save them for now.

Gao Yang calculated again: if he could only succeed once every three times he tried to comprehend a talent, then he would need to spend a total of 180 lucky points to obtain the third talent. After a successful comprehension, the lucky points required for the next comprehension would double, reaching 120 points each time, and it would take 360 points to succeed three times.

By this logic, when he wanted to gain more talents, the demand for lucky points was almost endless. With ordinary grinding, he didn't know when he would be able to accumulate enough points, and this dangerous world probably wouldn't give him that opportunity.

Risk comes with wealth, if there was a "dangerous but not life-threatening battle", it would be great. Half an hour of battle every day would be equivalent to several days of grinding. After joining the organization, he must study it carefully, maybe he could find a bug to infinitely brush "experience".

......

At 2 p.m., Gao Yang tidied up and headed to Lebaodi. There was a bit of traffic on the road, and he was the last one to arrive. Under the guidance of the receptionist, he quickly arrived at the private room booked by Wan Sisi.

Just as he was about to push the door, he heard a boy howling: "I pretend not to see when I should cooperate with your performance, forcing a person who loves you the most to improvise......"@@novelbin@@

Gao Yang thought to himself, you are forcing the audience around you to be actors, right? Your singing is so bad, and I have to applaud for you later, that's too miserable.

Gao Yang walked in, and sure enough, it was "Young Master Xuan", who was sitting on a high stool next to the karaoke machine, holding a microphone, singing passionately.

Young Master Xuan's full name was Niu Xuan, not exactly a rich second generation, but definitely a small tycoon. His father had opened more than twenty chain supermarkets in Leave City. Niu Xuan was usually generous, loved to show off, and had a good appearance, making him a popular figure in the class.

Compared to Wang Zikai, who was a brainless "troublemaker", Niu Xuan was much slicker, acting differently in front of his parents, teachers, and classmates.

If you hang out with him, you would feel superior. But if you offend him, you usually wouldn't end up well. The visible and invisible exclusion would make you feel particularly uncomfortable. Gao Yang didn't have much interaction with Niu Xuan, he was the kind of person that Niu Xuan didn't pay much attention to but wouldn't go out of his way to bully.

At this moment, as soon as Gao Yang walked into the KTV, Niu Xuan's singing stopped. He shouted overly enthusiastically with the microphone: "Yo, isn't this Gao Yang? You're finally here, everyone's been waiting!"

Gao Yang felt a sudden tightness in his bladder.

This feeling... doesn't bode well.
