Chapter 12: The Beginner’s Tutorial has Ended!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The fire has been successfully extinguished with the hard work of the firemen.

“It’s out! It’s out!” The crowd below cried out.

The fire had finally gone out and boy, was it tough!

There were many problems with this particular fire. For instance, there was a problem with the fire hydrant. Although the fire captain did not mention it, it was actually man-made damage.

Then, the fire was spreading too fast. The firemen had no time to control the fire right away.

Moreover, with the fire hydrant damaged, Charles was almost completely engulfed by the fire. It was likely that he wouldn’t be able to step back into the force ever again due to his serious injuries.

The only fortunate event was that the fire only spread on the fifth floor — where Bruce lived. Other than the fire in Bruce’s bedroom, the rest was not a big deal.

However, it was also thanks to Bruce who insisted on staying in the apartment. Otherwise, his bedroom would have become the second source of fire and would have set the fourth floor on fire in an instant.

After the fire was over, the police arrived. Once they were informed of the situation, they proceeded to Bruce.

“Hello, Mr. Bruce. Are you sure you’re okay?” A police officer asked.

“I’m fine,” Bruce answered while he shook his head.

“The next time you encounter something like this, you have to leave the scene immediately. There will be firemen to put out the fire. You shouldn’t stay in the building!”

The policeman said mechanically, “There’s an ambulance downstairs. Please go downstairs and cooperate during the inspection later.”

Bruce nodded.

He knew that this was the usual procedure. As long as there were no deaths, the police didn’t really care.

“There will only be an investigation into the source of the fire. If you have any helpful information, do remember to tell us.”

After saying that, the police glanced at Bruce and left without a word.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming the C-rank house-leaving crisis. 5 points rewarded!”

“Ding! The host saved a firefighter and changed his tragic fate during the fire. Additional money and increased experience speed are rewarded!”

!!!

Those were the rewards.

Originally, he could get 3 experience points and money per minute, which equals to 180 points per hour.

But now, he could get 300 points per hour!

“Awesome!”

Bruce screamed happily.

This means that the initial 3 points for income has now become 5 points.

That’s not bad!

At this rate, he would be able to level up again in a day or so!

Furthermore, when he was using Ice Flurry, his mind kept reminding him that his proficiency had increased.

Now, Ice Flurry had become an intermediate level.

In other words, its had become more powerful.

Before this, it was small ice crystals, but now those ice crystals had become the size of a pellet.

..

After the fire was over, everything settled and night time fell.

Although the fire in Bruce’s bedroom wasn’t too bad, it was still impossible for him to sleep.

Just as Bruce was thinking of a solution, Annie had returned from the hospital.

“Bruce!”

“Are you alright? Why don’t you go to the hospital for a check-up?!” Annie asked worriedly while making sure that there were no burns on his body.

“I’m fine, don’t worry,” Bruce chuckled.

But Annie was still very worried. She couldn’t help but cry as she saw him. “Bruce, don’t scare me like that anymore. I’m so afraid of losing you!”

She then hugged Bruce tightly. No matter how hard Bruce tried to push her off, he couldn’t.

With no choice, he shook his head and said, “It’s okay. Don’t worry. I’m here” 

The two of them were still chatting when another notification popped up in Bruce’s mind.

“Ding! Calculating time outdoors.”

“Ding, it is detected that the host left the house once. The remaining free time is 2 hours, 58 minutes and 55 seconds. The system rewards the host with an advanced skill – Vitality Enhancement.”

‘Eh?!’

That familiar sound appeared once again, causing Bruce’s eyes to light up.

He began to check the skill immediately .

Vitality Enhancement: Doubles the growth rate of Vitality

Bruce was a little shocked.

Previously, his vitality growth rate was only 0.3/hour. Now that he had this skill, it had directly increased to 0.6/hour.

This was a legendary skill!

With the Vitality Enhancement skill, his skill recovery became even faster.

All of Bruce’s current skills were consuming his vitality, which means he could use the skills more now!

Perfect!

Absolutely perfect!

Every time he used the Eye of Truth, he would gain 10 proficiency points. However, to level up, he needed 10,000 points. This meant that he needed 10,000 different people to use it on.

If there was no time limit, Bruce could definitely level up easily. However, he could only go out for three hours a day, so it would be a little troublesome to level up the Eye of Truth.

At this moment, Annie’s tears had dried up and she was looking at Bruce

Then, it hit him —

Annie was worried about him, and as his silence made Annie even more worried.

“You mustn’t take such dangerous actions in the future, okay?” Annie asked in a low voice.

“Okay, you should go back and rest.” Bruce agreed casually.

‘Dangerous?!’

‘Where’s the danger if I don’t go out?!’

‘It doesn’t matter, under no circumstances would I go out.’

If there was a similar crisis, he would still take the risk. But just to make Annie feel at ease, he had to agree.

“No, your bedroom is burnt. Come back with me,” said Annie.

‘You’re not sending me to the bed, you’re literally sending me to the grave!’

‘I only have three hours and you want me to sleep?!’

‘No way!’

“It’s okay, you go back and rest first. I’ll take care of the damage and rest here,” said Bruce.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded!”

Annie wanted to say something, but as she opened her mouth, no words came out. In the end, she brought the blanket over from her apartment.

Bruce shook his head. ‘I’ll just let her be this once’

At that moment —

“Ding! The beginner’s tutorial has ended. The house-leaving crisis for B-rank and above has been unlocked!”
