Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 184 - 157: The Second Gold: Tap Dance

Chapter 184: Chapter 157: The Second Gold: Tap Dance

The following morning.

Su Lin was waiting punctually on the sofa.

As the hour hand on the wall clock moved to nine, three brilliant lights—one gold and two silver—flashed in his mind.

When Su Lin clearly saw the colors of the lights in his consciousness, his breath suddenly caught.

“Gold appeared!”

In the fifth week of crossing over and after six term refreshes, finally, the second gold appeared!!

Without even having a chance to see what the term was, Su Lin punched the air fiercely, overjoyed.

Only then did he hurry to check the new term, and what he saw left him stunned for several seconds.

At that moment, he actually… hesitated.

[Giant Beast Hunter (Silver): For each enemy you kill that is 1.5 times your size, you will permanently gain a 0.1% movement speed bonus, up to 30%. Upon reaching the movement speed bonus cap, you will be granted a 10%-200% damage bonus based on the size difference with the enemy. The maximum bonus is achieved when the enemy’s size exceeds twice yours.]

“——Hey! Big guy! I’ll crush every single one of your toes!!”

[Silver Spoon (Silver): The term can be acquired repeatedly. Strength increases by one small level. When the rank cap is reached, it cannot be upgraded but converts to full experience in the current level with a 20% overall enhancement.]

“——Didn’t I say I’m a genius? Just a blink and I leveled up!”

[Tap Dance (Gold): Your nerve reaction and dynamic vision double, movement speed increases permanently by 50%, and each attack temporarily boosts movement speed by 1%, up to 50%, lasting ten minutes. At the cap, gain an attack speed equal to 50% of your movement speed.]

“——How can you refuse an invitation to dance with me?”

Su Lin was extremely annoyed!

A gold appeared!

But why is it that when gold appeared, two equally superb silver terms appeared simultaneously!

Giant Beast Hunter!

Increase damage against large-sized enemies; enemies more than twice my size are everywhere in the wilderness!

Directly double damage to all Mutant Beasts and Shadow Beasts?

Even Wandering Giants count?

This seemingly inconspicuous term is simply game-breaking in this world!

Silver Spoon!

An overpowered unconditional upgrade by one small level, which means unlocking a Genetic Lock unconditionally!

Even though he’s now a Tendon Lock, at the pinnacle rank, filling Qi and Blood for him is practically no different from the First Transformation, right?

Just a few pieces of Treasure Meat.

Not to mention the additional 20% comprehensive improvement at the rank cap.

It actually makes the effect better.

As for Tap Dance…

Su Lin was heartbroken, and directly chose this new term.

The golden term burst into dazzling light in his consciousness, while the other two silver terms slowly faded away under Su Lin’s heart-wrenching gaze.

No choice.

Tap Dance’s effects were inherently extremely strong.

And if paired with his Divine Speed…

Su Lin couldn’t even imagine how freakish he’d become in the future.

Enhanced by 1x Divine Speed?

And to gain attack speed equivalent to half movement speed?

“If my strength continues to increase, will I surpass the speed of light in the future?”

Su Lin didn’t know.

But that didn’t stop him from imagining himself speeding like a bolt of lightning, like The Flash.

He even wondered if he could become fast enough to travel through time in the future.

“Whew——”

Su Lin exhaled deeply.

At this time, having such a term appear, Su Lin felt a sense of calm in his heart.

“Kiri—— Lin—— Brother…”

Just as he was marveling at how lucky this week’s term refresh was, a particularly drawn-out voice suddenly rang in his ear, giving him a bit of a tingling scalp.

He turned his head to see Su Tongxi walking in from outside, her expression filled with delight, but her movements were so slow they could be considered eerie.

“Su—— Grandpa—— upgraded—— the—— Level 5—— Safe—— House——.”

…

After the Hunting Lord, the Su Family’s Old Mansion finally had the opportunity to upgrade to a Level 5 Safe House.

The underground assembly line construction had already been unlocked and was expected to be completed by evening, producing a batch of bullets before the beast tide arrived.

Although the quantity was limited and far from enough to arm every household’s safe house in the village, prioritizing those families who lost their pillars during the Lord’s battle was already delivering help in their hour of need.

As long as the material supply kept pace, and with only five people operating, this assembly line could produce two thousand bullets a day!

The next Night of Survival, all village safe houses could utilize firearms defense.

And even shotguns could be used.

The Level 5 Safe House’s assembly line simultaneously unlocked the production of handguns, shotguns, and grenades.

Although the weapon production couldn’t match bullets’ output, it was more than sufficient to provide crucial firepower support to Tier 1 and 2 Safe Houses during the Night of Survival.

This was the first village in the entire Crimson Wilderness to have a Level 5 Safe House.

That day, the entire Martial Seal village was celebrating.

But despite such joyous news, Su Lin could only stay at home, miserably trying to adapt to the dramatic changes brought by Tap Dance.

This term brought not just a mere speed increase but also doubled nerve reaction speed and dynamic vision.

Even if these were the only two enhancements, it would be manageable, but “Tap Dance,” like the previous “Precise Shooting,” had hidden effects unmentioned.

It distorted Su Lin’s perception of time.

In his senses, the whole world seemed to be in 0.5x slow motion.

He could see Su Tongxi’s slow opening and closing lips, and the floating dust particles in the air seemed to be frozen.

But the most troublesome part was, that this slowed time perception wasn’t perfectly in sync with the 50% unconditional movement speed boost provided by Tap Dance.

He felt his movements were also slowed, creating a bizarre high latency misalignment with the outside world.

This severe discord between body and senses made him dizzy and nauseous.

Finally, he dashed to a corner, gripping the wall, retching violently until his face paled, body exhausted, unable to stomach anything.

…

Noon.

“You better stop circling around me.”

Su Lin said weakly, covering his face, speaking helplessly to Song Yiyi by his side.

Everything looked like slow motion to him now, and Yiyi’s movements only intensified his discomfort.

Song Yiyi leaned curiously on his shoulder, asking:

“Brother Lin, can you try saying it again, I still can’t hear you.”

“Collapse, don’t be by his fat side.” Mengyi, still chewing meat, mumbled messily in an attempt to translate.

“You stop talking too.” Dao Guan rolled his eyes, looking at Mengyi with disdain.

Su Tongxi on the side looked worried: “Brother Kirin…”

Su Lin exhaled a heavy breath, deliberately slowing down his speech, and said clearly:

“Forget it, Yiyi, you… continue… walking.”

He suddenly realized, having Yiyi maintain a certain speed of activity might instead help recalibrate his senses.

Song Yiyi understood this time, nodded happily:

“Okay!”

Then she resumed walking lightly around Su Lin.

Su Lin’s gaze closely followed her figure, trying hard to adjust his breathing and perception.

Mengyi finished chewing his large steak, exchanging a glance with Dao Guan.

The two remained outwardly calm, but a fleeting seriousness crossed deep in their eyes.

“This guy…” they silently made some conjecture in their hearts.

The state Su Lin displayed at this moment significantly increased their regard for him.

But considering the existence of that person, they tacitly decided to keep their observation deeply buried inside.

…

Su Lin’s changes couldn’t escape his family’s notice.

Su Qi checked on him in the evening, thinking it might be some subtle side effects of the Divine Speed awakening.

Though somewhat worried, there was no solution.

These side effects could only be overcome by Su Lin himself.

After all, fundamentally, this was not a bad thing.

The good news was, that just when everyone assumed this state would last at least several days, Su Lin exhibited astonishing adaptability.

Before noon the next day, he had already returned to normal, able to speak and act fluently, no longer troubled by the distorted sense of time.

Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that tomorrow night was the Night of Survival, he feared being a weak link at such a time.

However, such rapid adaptation felt like his martial insights and talents in adaptability played a role.

He adjusted to the external slow motion and also tuned his movements, speech, and actions back to normal.

At the first moment of returning to normal, Su Lin hurried to Su Family’s Old Mansion.

Before even reaching the door, he saw several figures pacing restlessly outside.

With the sharp hearing of a Tendon Lock Martial Artist, a clear pleading voice from inside the old mansion reached his ears:

“Old Su, you have to save our villages!”
