===Chapter 14: I Can Copy Superpower! (Part 1)===

The text is similar to the status bar of the previous Microsoft system, embedded into small boxes that hover around the body of the chubby neighbor.

On his belly was [Excellent Digestive System].

On his thigh knee joints was [Inferior Knee Synovium].

On his neck was [Expanded Esophagus].

On his head was [Unique Memory]...

It was like wearing AR (Augmented Reality) glasses, which allowed electronic information to be overlaid as windows on the three-dimensional world's objects.

Stunned for a moment, Chen Yu instinctively reached out and touched the text of [Rapid Wrist] floating on the neighbor's right arm.

In the next moment, the four characters of [Rapid Wrist] immediately changed!

[Rank E-] Rapid Wrist: Possesses extremely fast up-and-down shaking abilities.

[Copy the ability "Rapid Wrist"?]

[Yes/No]

Chen Yu was greatly shocked and quickly retracted his hand, standing up with an incredulous expression on his face. "What is this?"

The terrified chubby neighbor sensed the movement behind him and became even more frightened, trembling like a sieve. "Don't... don't... don't kill me..."

After a long moment of astonishment, Chen Yu reached out again and touched the [Expanded Esophagus] on the neighbor's neck.

[Rank F+] Expanded Esophagus: Can drink two liters of carbonated beverages in twenty seconds.

[Copy the ability "Expanded Esophagus"?]

[Yes/No]

The two lines of text changed again.

The difference was that the keyword "Rapid Wrist" transformed into "Expanded Esophagus."

"What the...?"

With his hands slowly embracing his head, Chen Yu was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what was happening. He took a step forward and circled around the neighbor, looking up and down with a perplexed expression.

The chubby neighbor, in turn, stole glances at Chen Yu, his eyeballs moving as Chen Yu moved.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, Chen Yu slapped the neighbor's headphones off and pointed at the text on his body. "What are these?"

"W-What... what... what?" The chubby neighbor moved back a few centimeters, his terrified eyes following Chen Yu's gaze as he observed his own body. "W-What's wrong, big... big brother?"

 "You can't see it, can you?" Chen Yu squinted his eyes.

"My clothes... do you think they're ugly, big brother?" The chubby neighbor swallowed hard.

"Only I can see it."

With this information confirmed in his mind, Chen Yu circled around the neighbor once again and spoke, "You're quite good at drinking beverages, right? Can you gulp down a whole bottle in one go?"

"How did you know?!" The chubby neighbor was astonished.

Chugging down a whole bottle of cola in one gulp was a skill he had developed recently! He was planning to practice and become even better, then post videos online.

Except for him, no one should have known about it...

"You're also quick at 'handiwork'!" Chen Yu's eyes gradually lit up.

"Huh?!" The chubby neighbor was even more shocked. "Big... big brother, did you install surveillance in my house?"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

In his mind, Chen Yu cursed three times in a row, his breathing becoming rapid.

Could he "copy" this neighbor's abilities?

What on earth was going on?

If he could replicate this fat guy's ability...

Then...

What about other people with superpowers?

"Damn it!"

"I knew I didn't travel here for nothing!"

"Damn it, damn it—"

With the expletives echoing in his mind, Chen Yu licked his lips, suppressing his excitement and engaging his brain, which had been honed by years of reading web novels, to ponder the current situation.

"Could it be that I have a terrifying system in my body?"

"As long as I make someone scared, I gain their abilities?"

"Does that mean I can find a female superpowered individual, scare her by saying, 'You don't want your husband to find out about our relationship, right...'"

"And then I acquire her superpowers."

"..."

"No, that's not it."

Chen Yu frowned.

If the reason lay in scaring or frightening others, then the criminals he had scared in Qingcheng Prison should have shown this anomaly a long time ago.

"There must be another reason."

Crossing his arms, Chen Yu circled around the chubby neighbor again and again.

That "sinister" gaze made the neighbor's breathing irregular. "B-Big... big brother... I do have fast reflexes... Please spare me. I can... I can fly for you..."

"Title!"

Suddenly, Chen Yu exclaimed.

"Ah!" The chubby neighbor let out a miserable scream in fear.

"Damn it!" Ignoring the neighbor's cry, Chen Yu looked at the title floating above his neighbor's head: [Extremely Fearful Useless Otaku], and he felt ecstatic.

He understood.

The reason he could replicate the neighbor's abilities lay in the change of the neighbor's "title"!

The title changed from [Useless Otaku] to [Extremely Fearful Useless Otaku].

"In the Safety Bureau in Beijing, I've seen professors get angry at me and have their titles change. But there were no anomalies at that time."

"So, this person who can allow me to replicate abilities is not just because of a change in title."

"There's another crucial point..."

Chen Yu turned his head and saw his own reflection on the TV screen, with the title [Useless Otaku] above his head.

"My title is the same as his!"

"..."

"So, the false title on my head was never about titles."

"It's my mission target, damn it..."

"I can only replicate the abilities of someone whose title matches mine."

With the analysis forming in his mind, Chen Yu couldn't wait to conduct an experiment and confirm his speculation. "Hey! Do you have any other friends with the title [Useless Otaku]?"

The neighbor asked, "W-What do you mean?"

"Choke!"

Chen Yu pulled out a cleaver, his expression turning cold. "I can't hold back my shark-human side anymore and I want to kill anyone with the title [Useless Otaku] above their head. If there are no other [Useless Otaku], then I'll have to kill you."

"Yes!" The chubby neighbor's eyes widened instantly. "Yes, yes, yes! Big brother, there's someone on the third floor, a woman, she's my girlfriend! Her title is also [Useless Otaku]! Big brother, kill her!"

Chen Yu said, "...You're quite ruthless."

"The [Useless Otaku] title, I got it after being with her for two years." Tears streamed down the chubby neighbor's face. "Big brother, please kill her, she deserves to die... don't kill me..."

"You're a couple, why don't you live together?"

"We broke up."

"No wonder."

Chen Yu suddenly realized and then walked into the neighbor's bedroom. He grabbed a bedsheet and wrapped it tightly around the struggling neighbor. He tied him up with a rope to prevent him from escaping.

Only after securing him did Chen Yu leave the room, taking the neighbor's key and closing the door behind him.

...

The "Jiangshan Shijia" community where Chen Yu lived was a high-rise apartment building primarily inhabited by young people.

Taking the elevator, it didn't take long for him to go from the 12th floor to the 3rd floor.

Hiding the cleaver, Chen Yu wasted no time and went directly to the "ex-girlfriend's" apartment. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Who is it?" A voice from inside responded quickly.

"Hello," Chen Yu smiled. "Community door-to-door warmth delivery."

"What?" The anti-theft door opened, and a slightly chubby girl with thick glasses and the title [Useless Otaku] above her head peered out. "What are you delivering?"

Chen Yu said, "I'm delivering a message to you."

The girl asked, "What is it?"

Chen Yu replied, "Don't open the door for strangers."

The girl said, "..."

...

"...Are you crazy?" The slightly chubby otaku girl looked Chen Yu up and down, rolled her eyes, and prepared to close the door.

"Hey, wait!" Chen Yu quickly blocked her and smiled. "Just kidding. Here's the thing, beautiful lady. We are from the Qingcheng TV Station's program 'You Win with Talent.' We're looking for some otaku fans to answer some questions about the anime world. If you win, there's a cash prize."

Upon hearing the words "cash prize," the slightly chubby otaku girl raised her eyebrows in suspicion. "Money?"

"Yes! Money!"

"How much?"

"The first question is worth 10,000 yuan, the second question is 100,000 yuan, and if you answer the third question correctly, you'll receive 1 million yuan!"

"What the hell? Is that for real?" The slightly chubby otaku girl couldn't believe it and looked around cautiously. "Is this some kind of scam? You say you're from a TV station, where's the camera?"

"To ease the contestants' nervousness and let them perform to their best, the program chooses to film the quiz segment secretly. For example, you see that..." Chen Yu raised his hand and pointed to a surveillance camera in the apartment corridor. "That's one of our camera angles."

Yes, this time he wasn't planning to use "violence" during the visit.

After all, the girl had no grudge against him.

He planned to use a different method to change her "title."

To verify his speculation...

"You seem like a fraud." Standing at the door, the slightly chubby otaku girl hesitated for a long time and decided to close the door. "Forget it, just go."
