Chapter 10 Start Of Killing (3)
?'Is this some kind of drug?' Cyrus was curious and entered the building.
Since those twelve were all in a trance, he wasn't worried.
Just as he suspected, even after he kicked one of them, the smirk on his face hadn't wiped out, and Cyrus plucked the 2 inches long black needle from that person's arm.
He took a light whiff of it, and his eyes widened slightly, "The Black Rose Fungus!"
"What is Black Rose Fungus?" Eve curiously asked.
Cyrus's expression went grim as he replied, "The Black Rose Fungus is a slow poison that is used to kill someone. It is also an excellent aphrodisiac agent. If mixed with White Patel of Silver Lilly, we can make Yellow Grade Aphrodisiac Pill."
"So, someone is poisoning people in the slum district? Why do they do that?" Eve was full of doubts.
Cyrus was also wondering about it. Since this place was a hellhole, who wants to make it even worse?
"I don't know. But there is another agent mixed with the black rose fungus that I cannot recognize yet. Well, at least now I know the herbs are still the same in this world." Cyrus chuckled as he threw the black needle away.
"Since they are going to die anyway, let me send them on their way." He coldly sneered and pierced the person he had just kicked in the head with the lust sword killing him in his happy dreams.
However, before he could continue, a notification rang, which startled him.

Cyrus cocked an eyebrow, '3 LXP altogether? Is it because Black Rose Fungus arouse their lust?'
This was the only explanation he could think of. Anyway, he was happy and killed the second one and then the third.

'Mortal Tier-1? What kind of realm is this? Should I be at the Qi gathering realm?'
Cyrus frowned but at this moment, he suddenly felt a warm current all over his body before he grew an entire inch and his hair grew a few centimeters making his head crimson, but there was a shade of purple on the tips of his hair!
The yellowish color on his skin became vaguer, and his scraggy body gained some mass. It was quite a significant change.
Although Cyrus still didn't feel any Qi but definitely stronger than before and no longer sluggish.
'It seemed the System followed some other cultivation system than the traditional cultivation system. I guess this is not bad at all.'
Content, he opened the Status to check what had changed.

His LXP cap far exceeded his SP cap, making him somewhat content since LXP was more difficult to get than SP.
Cyrus then continued his search but soon noticed a problem: his clothes. Since he was 'growing,' the clothes of old Cyrus were now almost bursting.
So, after skimming through the whole building, he found a set of clothes that were quite large, but they would soon fit him, so he wore them. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮
Afterward, he started his conquest of killing people to become strong again.
Soon, he found another building filled with those paradise needle junkies. He was more than happy to put them out of their misery.
He then continued toward another alleyway, and this time, he ran into wandering cannibals who were looking for a hunt. The blunt knives in their hands made it quite apparent.
But Cyrus dealt with that ground five without breaking much sweat.
The east area, which was filled with degenerates, unknowingly became Cyrus's hunting ground.
As the ray of sun hit the ground, Cyrus appeared outside the east area. From the night before, he was completely different right now.
He was 5 feet tall but still skinny, but not as much as he was when he came here. His face was still pale, but the yellowish color was also completely faded away. His crimson hair with dark blue edges now reached his entire ears.
His lips curled upward as he commanded, "Status."

Cyrus's eyes shimmered as he decided, 'This time, my LXP cap got filled before the SP, and I wasted probably 50 LXP. Sigh… I can't continue killing here, or if I wipe away an entire area, I will definitely get noticed.
'Then there is the supplier of those Paradise Needles. Since almost all of the east area is addicted to them, he might notice the dropping number of his customers. So, I should leave this district altogether!'
