===Chapter 24: Copying - Beast Power===

"This damn thing awakened an ability?"

As Chen Yu looked at the shining golden text panel, only one thought flashed through his mind before he rushed forward, ignoring the raging neighbor, and directly tapped on his chest.

[(A+ Rank) (Golden) Beast Power: With the accumulation of anger, strength can grow infinitely without end.]

[Do you want to copy the "Beast Power" ability?]

[Yes/No]

"Holy shit!"

"I can really copy it a second time!"

Chen Yu's pupils contracted, his breath stagnated, and he forcefully clicked again!

[Confirm Copy]

As the text changed, he saw that strand of golden light burst forth from his own body. Soon after, a strange warmth swept through his entire body.

"I've become an esper..."

"I'm an esper now?"

As the golden light faded, Chen Yu lowered his head and looked at his own hands. His thoughts gradually calmed, but he felt a sense of unreality washing over him.

Then, an uncontrollable ecstasy followed!

"Holy shit!"

"I've really become an esper!"

At the same time, the chubby neighbor who had been tapped twice by Chen Yu gradually regained consciousness from his chaotic state. First, he glanced at the female coach lying on the ground, her life uncertain, and then looked at Chen Yu, who had a look of joy on his face, feeling at a loss.

"What... What happened to me just now?"

"Brother!" Chen Yu hugged the neighbor tightly and pulled him into his arms. "You are my dad! You're amazing!"

"Huh?" The chubby neighbor became even more confused.

"Look at the title above your head!"

Upon hearing this, the neighbor subconsciously turned his head and looked at a full-length mirror below the stage. He discovered that the "Useless Otaku" title that had been on his head had changed to the impressive title of "Someone Not to Be Underestimated."

"It... It changed again?"

"Brother! I'm proud of you!" Chen Yu was so moved that he almost cried. "You! You're my god!"

"Ah..." The neighbor was pleasantly surprised, influenced by Chen Yu's atmosphere, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

    "This guy is a talent!"

"He's a treasure!"

With these thoughts echoing in his mind, the more Chen Yu looked at the neighbor, the more he liked him.

He managed to "harvest" an "A+" level extraordinary ability from someone for the first time.

This chubby guy was like a special gift from heaven!

With such a treasure, shouldn't he change him back to being a "Useless Otaku"? And then repeat the process a few more times?

With this idea in mind, Chen Yu immediately released his enthusiastic embrace of the neighbor, took out his phone, and dialed the emergency number.

"Ring..."

"Hello, Qingcheng City Emergency Center," a formal male voice came from the receiver.

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Yu shook hands with the equally excited neighbor and shouted into the phone, "Hello? Is this 110? There's someone here who assaulted another person. Yeah, it caused severe injuries. Please come quickly."

The joyful expression on the chubby neighbor's face instantly froze.

"Yes, that's right! It was an intentional assault." Chen Yu maintained the handshake with the neighbor and looked him up and down before adding, "He's quite good at fighting. Bring more people with you."

Chubby neighbor: "..."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Yu restrained his inner excitement and hugged the neighbor again. "Brother, I won't say anything else. I'll stick with you from now on."

Chubby neighbor: "...You... You called the police?"

"Yeah," Chen Yu nodded. "What's wrong?"

"You actually called the police!" The chubby neighbor took a hesitant step back in disbelief. "Why?"

"Because someone injured another person," Chen Yu pointed to the female coach lying on the stage, his face full of confusion. "I definitely have to call the police, right?"

"It... It was me who hit her!" The neighbor shouted in panic.

"I know. You're the culprit."

"I hit her, and you still want to call the police?"

"Even if it was my mom who hit her, I would still call the police!" Chen Yu was shocked, reaching out to touch the neighbor's forehead. "Are you okay?"

"But... but aren't we... aren't we friends?" The chubby neighbor couldn't understand.

"When a crime is discovered, it must be punished! Because you're my friend, I have an even greater responsibility to 'punish' you! Didn't you report me back then?" Chen Yu couldn't understand either. "Friends should support each other! Don't you understand the meaning of 'support'?"

"But... but..." The neighbor's eyes sparkled with confusion. "Supporting each other as friends is one thing, but that doesn't mean we should incriminate each other, right?"

"You're so strange," Chen Yu frowned. "Isn't prison a place for rehabilitation?"

"Yes."

"Doesn't rehabilitation mean education?"

"Yes... yes, it does."

    "Is there anything wrong with me wanting to educate you?"

Neighbor: "..."

"It's not..." The chubby neighbor was confused, grasping his head with helpless hands, and anxiously said, "So, calling the police was right?"

"Ah!" Chen Yu exclaimed, his hands falling helplessly. "Isn't it still right?"

Chubby neighbor: "I... you... this... I..."

"You're confused," Chen Yu suddenly became indifferent, reaching out and patting the neighbor's shoulder. "Your heart is in chaos."

Chubby neighbor: "..."

Chen Yu: "So, go to the prison and calm down for a while."

Chubby neighbor: "..."

The police in Qingcheng City responded quickly.

In no time, two teams of police arrived.

After investigating the scene, they unsurprisingly took away the still bewildered neighbor.

Chen Yu also felt relieved and returned home to study his newly "copied" ability.

As he researched, he couldn't help but sigh.

"My brother, the chubby guy, is really a good person."

...

Beastly Strength.

With accumulated anger, strength can grow infinitely.

But without anger, it seems to be useless.

After conducting brief experiments, it was nighttime.

Chen Yu sat at the neighbor's desk, looking serious, and browsing online information about "abilities."

He had been searching for seven or eight hours already.

It seemed that this kind of ability had never appeared in the realm of extraordinary humans.

The closest resemblance was the "Furious Flame" of a well-known ability user.

"Furious Flame: The higher the temperature of the released flames, the more intense the engulfing rage becomes, gradually losing oneself and falling into madness."

From online reports alone, "anger" became a limitation for that ability user to perform.

But even so, that person was a famous A+ level ability user in the realm of extraordinary humans. Within the human race, they possessed a terrifying social status.

One of the human race's nuclear weapons against external races.

Other than that, there was no information regarding abilities related to "anger."

"In that case, what about mine..."

Looking down at his tender hands, Chen Yu frowned. "When I don't get angry, there doesn't seem to be any sign of an ability."

Hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu stood up and walked to the large punching bag he had just bought. He closed his eyes and brewed his anger.

Recalling his memories of being locked up in prison...

"..."

"...No, I was actually quite happy in prison."

He then recalled his memories of being brainwashed by the Human Security Bureau.

"..."

"..."

"...It's coming. I can feel it."

With a sudden opening of his eyes, Chen Yu clenched his fist and aimed at the punching bag in front of him, delivering a powerful blow!

"Thud!!"

...
