Chapter 1501: Chapter 1499 Power Limit

Although two assassins were unexpectedly killed, earning some extra Ladybug Points,

Han Dong temporarily chose not to purchase any of the expensive ready-made equipment in the store.

Even a single piece of [Green Equipment] would cost several dozen points (with equipment sold back to the store only valuing at 50% of its original price), which would completely deplete the points of both Han Dong and Sally... Besides, their current equipment was barely sufficient for the time being.

As for privileges, they were similarly costly in terms of points, and most of them failed to provide any direct benefit.

In Han Dong’s opinion, [Privileges] were akin to a "long-term investment," something to be considered only when funds were more abundant, with the aim of purchasing privileges suitable for oneself to earn even more points.

For now, as a newcomer assassin venturing into this dangerous alley for the first time, aside from acquiring essential Recovery Medicines, the greatest boost to his strength came from "Limitation Removal."

However, the price for Limitation Removal was not directly listed—it only displayed a brief description.

’For those interested in purchasing "Limitation Removal," you must apply for entry into the store’s detection area. Prices will be quoted based on the corresponding test results.’

Upon reading this, Han Dong reached out to the shop owner.

Soon, he and Sally were seated on iron restraining chairs, their heads encased in metallic devices connected to wires and injectors.

The chairs were remarkably similar to those Han Dong had experienced during his Apprentice Knight days when allocating Fate Points.

[Assassin: Nicholas] Current unlockable abilities and their costs are as follows:

"Dark Blood" - A divine bloodline from , containing a degree of self-awareness. When this ability is unlocked, its effects will be limited to a lower grade (appropriate to the individual’s rating). Required points: 30

* Detected that this bloodline also carries additional Holy Blood and Ytterbium Ore traits, which must be unlocked separately through point consumption or completing specific games.

"Demon Eye" - Broadly improves vision while adding partial X-ray abilities. Required points: 30

* X-ray abilities are restricted in most game scenarios due to rule limitations. Additional points or successful completion of specific games are required to unlock the Vortex Eye trait.

"Toad Demon’s Foot" - Enhances speed, jumping ability, and kick-based techniques. Required points: 20

"Prison Brain" - This ability is extremely powerful, touching upon world-level mechanics and severely disrupting game balance. Most aspects of its functionality will be sealed, including [Disguise], [Internal Space], and [Compulsory Shelter].

This ability requires multiple unlocks to achieve full functionality. Each tier requires point consumption: 50

Stage 1: During each battle, randomly summon a single Prison Guard for assistance (maximum one).

Stage 2: Upgraded manipulation of Tentacles, including quantity, damage value, and sensitivity enhancements.

Stage 3: Unlock Void Laboratory, enabling short-range teleportation at a significant stamina cost.

Stage 4: Unlock traits related to Mad Laugh.

As Han Dong reviewed the list of currently unlockable abilities, a System notification chimed:

『Dear guest, in addition to the aforementioned unlockable abilities,

You may also upgrade your unlocked abilities in high-difficulty game scenarios or special events, even earning exclusive powers tied to [Ladybug Day].』

"Hmm... such an inconvenient setup.

In any case, the [Level] won’t change—it will remain permanently capped slightly above the range of humans, significantly weakening all abilities as a result.

With the points on hand, the best option seems to be this one.

Still, I’ll need to discuss it with Sally first. I can’t even unlock one ability with my current points."

Just as Han Dong turned his gaze toward Sally, seated in the chair beside him, she looked back at him as well... Before Han Dong could ask anything, Sally proactively offered:

"Nicholas, how many points are you short? Should I transfer all my points to you? After all, we’ll be acting together from now on... You decide how the points should be used."

Han Dong didn’t stand on ceremony, nodding in agreement.

Combined points total: 19 (Han Dong) + 21 (Sally) = 40

Limitation Removal: "Dark Blood," points -30.

As a syringe plunged into his brain, the surface of Han Dong’s right arm swelled with strikingly vivid red veins. Simultaneously, a voice echoed from within:

『What the hell!? What’s going on here?

Where exactly are we, and what is this overwhelming sense of weakness engulfing me? How could I, the Count, be reduced to such a pathetic state... This simply won’t do; there’s no way I can participate like this.』

『Don’t panic; everyone here is weak... Even Green is no exception.』

Han Dong succinctly explained the situation at hand.

The main reason he chose "Dark Blood" wasn’t so much for the assistance of the Count but rather the self-healing effect associated with the blood.

With his level suppressed, the body’s natural self-healing capability was nullified. If he were to sustain injuries in a game without proper treatment, he would stand no chance of continuing onward.

Once Dark Blood was activated, not only would it provide a self-healing effect, but it would also save them a significant amount of money on potions.

Of course, starting with a dog was quite practical as well.

Han Dong let the Count gradually acclimate to and accept the weakened state. Meanwhile, he used the remaining points to purchase some essential supplies, including:

"Serrated Arrows ×40," cost: 2 points

"Healing Potion ×5," cost: 5 points

"Bone Repair Liquid ×1," cost: 3 points

As Sally applied the Bone Repair Liquid, the injuries in her arm and ribs healed in turn. After some testing, she effortlessly wielded her longbow once again... And so, a unique two-person assassin team was officially formed.

"I hope the two of you will return to my shop in good health," the shopkeeper said.

As soon as Han Dong and Sally left the store, their gazes instinctively shifted toward a corner on the second floor.

During the hour they had spent shopping, another team of assassins had infiltrated the factory—this time, a group of four... However, they merely glanced at Han Dong and Sally without revealing any killing intent.

After all, ’prey’ exiting a store was unlikely to have many points left to their name.

Still, three of them cast lecherous, depraved looks at Sally’s strikingly beautiful figure, their gazes immediately giving way to lust.

Curved blades, throwing knives, and odd projectile weapons were already in their hands.

Killing would accrue Slaughter Value, but simple imprisonment would incur no penalties.

At that moment.

A blood-red light flickered on Han Dong’s right arm.

As strands of blood wove and constructed themselves outside his body... a hunting hound, nearly two meters long and constantly dripping blood, took form.

Although it lacked the size, presence, tentacle count, and tooth array of the former Bloodhound, it still held a menacing intimidation factor.

"A summoner?"

The leader furrowed his brows, signaling to his comrades to sheath their weapons.

Han Dong, unfazed, did not flee but instead casually led Sally by the hand, his gaze cold and indifferent as they strode out of the factory.

It was only after they had completely left the assassins’ line of sight that they allowed themselves a moment of relief.

"Sally, your physique is truly troublesome in this kind of game... Being the embodiment of carnal desire, the Black Goat, makes it nearly impossible to avoid attention from the opposite sex.

Let’s head over to a clothing store to get you disguised."

Sally muttered softly on the side, "What good will that do... You’re not interested anyway."
