His pupils returned to normal, and the red fur retracted into his body. Lex simply moved his body and clearly felt that he had become more powerful.
He tried to throw a punch and heard the deep whooshing sound of his fist cutting through the air. He tried to throw a combination of punches, and the room was filled with continuous crisp crackling sounds.
After stopping, Lex looked at his hands and felt that he had taken another big step forward in the Domain of combat.
Along with that, his overall physical qualities, including skills like marksmanship, also improved further.
In addition, compared to a Hunter, he finally gained an Beyonder ability.
Provocation!
This ability allowed him to actively emit a feeling of disgust to wild beasts, monsters, or out-of-control individuals he encountered.
When he learned of the ability information engraved in his brain with the potion, Lex felt the muscles on his cheeks twitching slightly.
This ability seemed quite annoying.
Hmm, tomorrow I'll visit Ms. Lanci and Mr. Zot. Regarding the Provoker, he should be able to give me some advice.
Lex exhaled, looked at the tranquil night view of Tingen outside the window, and softly said, "I am already a Provoker."
After a moment, dispelling that sense of unreality, Lex put away the iron pot and some unused Materials.
Then, standing in the center of the room, he raised both hands horizontally, summoning the 'Mysterious Book'.
After feeling a heavy sensation in his hands, Lex saw it, that glowing, ethereal tome.
At the same time, he saw that the number of Knowledge Authority on the cover of the Mysterious Book had changed.
Now, its number was 8!
So, advancing in Sequence increases the Rank of Knowledge Authority?
That being the case, when my Sequence is higher, I should be able to see those previously blocked messages.
Whoosh—
The Mysterious Book opened by itself, its pages quickly flipping before Lex's eyes, stopping at the 'Artisan of Mysteries' page.
The number of dimensional crystals has reached 246. Praise the Observers.
In the records below, many more reward messages appeared.
'Clear Sky Squid wiggled its tentacles and gestured 'Go for it' in the air, and rewarded 1500 dimensional coins, which have been automatically converted into 15 dimensional crystals.'
'Four-Way Traveler invites you to travel together, and rewarded 1000 dimensional coins.'
'Five Elements Lacking Money threw 400 dimensional coins at you.'
'Voice of people gave you a thumbs up, and rewarded 100 dimensional coins.'
'Faceless Man loudly praised The Fool, throwing 10,000 dimensional coins at Klein Moretti. Don't be sad, you'll have your chance.'
In addition, there were rewards from Observers like 'Mop Grandpa', 'He A He', 'Addiction Ban', and 'Chopping Grass', which warmed Lex's heart.

'The tag 'lord of traps' has received over 160 likes, and your ability in traps has increased by 5%.'
'The tag 'National Husband' has received over 90 likes, and your attractiveness to the opposite sex continues to rise, with a 3% increase in charm.'
'You have not received any new tags temporarily.'
Great, both tags have gained more recognition, and both trap ability and charm have improved!
He composed himself and turned to the home page.
Collections: 3000+
Record: Your adventure biography has received over 3000 collections and follows, and you have gained 4 uses of the 'Message Board' permission.
Huh, I used one message before, I didn't expect the number of message uses to increase so quickly.
Perfect, I have new questions I want to ask the Observers.
Lex picked up the quill pen tucked into the page, first crossed out the previous question, and then wrote his message.
'Traveling beyond the Dimensions, the supreme Observers. I need to draw a 'boundary' to avoid ignorantly and rashly entering Klein's 'story'. Here, I implore your help, I implore your guidance. I hope to know, in the Tingen incident, who are Klein's enemies, and what organizations are targeting him?'
After writing this message and seeing the count change to 3, Lex turned his gaze to the comment section.
'Mop Grandpa: The Hunter Pathway belongs to the Domain of war. What you encounter and experience will inevitably involve disputes, bloodshed, and slaughter. If you want to continue, you must prepare early. For example, acquire a factory-type industry with a dense male workforce, establish your own factory guard team, a security company, and semi-legally possess a large amount of manpower and armaments. It's best to be near the sea, with the potential for colonial warfare.'
Is that so?
The Hunter Pathway is actually a Domain of war. No wonder an Observer advised me to make more partners before, and now this Observer even pointed out the need to have my own semi-legal armed forces!
War.
War is also very expensive.
I must accelerate the pace of investment!
Lex continued to read.
'Aurora Traveler: I heard the protagonist wants to develop the telecommunications industry. I suggest establishing an intelligence organization to collect intelligence, and also establishing an assassination department composed of Beyonders, preferably also from the Hunter Pathway, to prepare for high-Sequence promotion.'
'Mr. Chen Ran: Regarding Meimei (Melissa), don't worry too much, she is not in the 'story'. Among her friends, only Selena appeared in the 'story', but her performance has ended.
Contacting Meimei will not be dangerous, don't be afraid (I'm not encouraging anything). However, it would be more appropriate to contact her after early September. If you are still in Tingen then, you might give her some help, as she will be in great difficulty at that time.
Also, on the Sunday of September 9th, in the afternoon, do not approach Zotland Street, and especially do not enter Blackthorn Security Company!'
Again, two very useful pieces of information!
Hmm, Melissa is not in the 'story', so I can rest assured. Will it be more appropriate to contact her in early September? On the afternoon of Sunday, September 9th, do not approach Zotland Street, and do not enter Blackthorn Security Company.
Isn't Blackthorn Security Company the headquarters of the Night Watchers team?
That is to say, on the 9th of next month, a huge danger will erupt there?
Lex quickly memorized this important time and place.
'Number 1364553274646626304: Lex, please remember, the best thing may not be strength and opportunity, but being alive.'
I agree with that.
'Bright Moon Shines on Cold Pine: Your Pathway's main abilities: Taunt, Conspiracy, Traps, Weakness Attack, Legion Combined Combat, Steel Transformation, Fire Control.'
Are these the subsequent abilities of the Hunter Pathway? I'm really looking forward to them.
'Hanging Salted Fish on the Bedhead: Lex, you must remember to respect all your prey, that is Lesson 1 that I taught you.'
When reading this message, Lex felt his spirituality alarm. He knew that the reading time was over and decisively dismissed the summoning of the Mysterious Book.
Perhaps because of his promotion, Lex did not feel a headache now, except for a slight tightness in his scalp, there was no other discomfort.
But mental fatigue was still unavoidable. He took off his coat and lay down on the bed, recalling the advice given by the Observers, and looking forward to meeting Kyle tomorrow, hoping to get some advice from this former Hunter to help him better role-play as a 'Provoker'.
