Author’s Note:

After the rewrite, Nancy’s combat power has been significantly weakened, so readers don’t need to worry about her combat effectiveness plummeting.

The reason for the lack of Nina’s plotline is because I am avoiding it for now, and I’ll start Nina’s storyline after Sherry’s route ends.

………………

“Candy, activate the combat module.” Nancy sat casually in front of the door of a closed shop with Hattori, and called out Candy’s holographic screen in her mind.

【Ding dong, command received, activating combat module.】
【Matching the energy system of the host’s world…】

【Wuxia world system, error…
Qi cultivation system, error…
Biotechnology system, error…
Magic continent system, error…
Technological civilization system, error…】

【Matching successful, mixed-system supernatural urban setting, initiating combat module adaptation.】

【Host: Nancy Yin
Gender: Female
Race/Bloodline: Human (???)
System Level: Sixth level
Comprehensive power value: 75】

【Combat module:

Exclusive weapons: None
Proficient combat skills: None
Proficient magic skills: None
Proficient elements: None
Proficient supernatural abilities: None
Proficient supernatural skills: None】

【Standard weapons: Knuckle dusters (melee blunt weapon), Electric pistol (ranged weapon)】

“Candy, what’s the purpose of this combat module?” Nancy looked at the holographic interface in front of her, resembling a game system, and frowned, asking.

【Ding dong, because it has been detected that the world where the host is located has a high danger level, the combat module is activated for this purpose.】

【The combat module aims to enhance the host’s survival and combat capabilities, to deal with various potential emergencies and mission difficulties.】

“So what should I do now? There’s nothing here.” Nancy, after hearing this, looked at the rows of ‘none’ and asked.

【It has been detected that the host has met the conditions to activate the combat module, and thus, the system issues a mission.】

【Please increase the host’s comprehensive power value to 100 points within three days. At that time, the host will be given an opportunity to choose a combat skill.】

“Combat skills?” Nancy, upon hearing the system’s words, became somewhat excited. “How powerful can combat skills be?”

【Combat skills are body-refining methods developed by humans at the physical stage. According to the system’s classification of human martial levels, when martial skills are cultivated to the extreme, they can reach the level of a land immortal, which is equivalent to the Golden Core in the spiritual cultivation system.】

Golden Core? Nancy finally heard a term she was familiar with. Suppressing her excitement, Nancy continued to inquire:

“So how can I increase my comprehensive power value? And how did I get these 75 points?”

【Comprehensive power value refers to the comprehensive evaluation of the host’s various combat capabilities, including but not limited to: physical fitness, combat proficiency, external equipment, and the development of inherent supernatural abilities.】

【To give an example, the comprehensive power value of an ordinary adult male human would be between 50-60.】

【However, if this adult male possesses a dagger, his comprehensive power value would immediately increase by 10 points. If he exchanges the dagger for a handgun, his comprehensive power value would directly increase by 30 points on top of the original base. If this man also has shooting talent or has undergone shooting training, the enhancement from the handgun would be even higher.】

“I see, so what it means is that I need to increase my combat power now…” Nancy muttered.

She was just an ordinary high school girl, and she belonged to the kind with a delicate physique.

In other words, based solely on physical fitness, her evaluation in the system should be lower than that of an average adult woman, which is probably around 45 points. In that case, her comprehensive power value barely reached 35 points.

However, because she had a military background in her previous life, her memory of combat experience added quite a few points to her, probably bringing her comprehensive power value up to around 60 points.

As for the remaining 15 points? Nanye felt her waist pouch where the electric pistol was stored. Speaking of which, she hadn’t used this thing since the night she dealt with Lily.

“So the quickest way to increase my power value now is to buy guns, isn’t it…” Nancy lightly caressed the black electric pistol in her hand.

………………

Philo District, being adjacent to the industrial zone, always ends up mixed with various plans when the city government plans this area.

As a result, compared to other districts in Tianzhou City, Philo District appears more chaotic and dark; it’s a gathering place for criminals and tax evaders.

And the Tianzhou Guard, exhausted from dealing with various cases involving abilities and demons, naturally adopts a turn-a-blind-eye attitude toward the chaos in Philo District under such circumstances.

It’s worth mentioning that Tianzhou City does not prohibit firearms trading because of the prevalence of ability users and demons.

With firearms added to Philo District, it’s like getting a double-layered buff; at the end of any random alley in this district, there’s a good chance you’ll find a gun shop.

“Ding-ling…” Pushing open the somewhat heavy iron door, Nancy heard the crisp sound of the welcome bell inside the shop.

In fact, compared to the significance of welcoming customers, the warning of the welcome bell is much greater for a gun shop owner than for customers. The shopkeeper needs this little bell to remind him more than customers: there’s a new unexpected guest in your shop.

“Welcome, what would you like to check out?”

The crocodile demon boss, with a long tail trailing behind, held a mobile phone and opened his mouth to ask as a matter of routine.

“This, I’m wondering if I can sell it.” Nancy slammed the electric pistol on the counter, “and then I’d like to get something better.”

Anyway, Nancy couldn’t keep this electric pistol; after all, it was a weapon she snatched from that Lubbock guy, and who knows what it’s been through. Maybe this little black thing doesn’t even have an audit certificate.

“Firearm license.” The boss didn’t look up, saying slowly.

“……” How could Nancy possibly have a firearm license, but this is Philo District, and she has something more useful than a firearm license.

“Whoosh!” A stack of credit vouchers was pushed to the boss by Nancy.

“……” The crocodile demon boss was slightly stunned. He looked in the direction of his phone, squinted his eyes, and carefully examined the beautiful human girl with snow-white hair in front of him, as well as the man in a tunic suit behind her, who had a very low presence.

“Things have been a bit unsettled recently, and I want some weapons for self-defense. Can the boss make an exception?” Nancy brought out the momentum of her previous life when she pretended to be a drug addict and met with drug dealers, whispering softly.

“How old are you, young lady, to be messing with these things.” The boss shook his head as if sighing, but his other hand had already picked up the credit vouchers and stuffed them into the counter.

“If you want anything, except for military heavy weapons, I have everything you want here.”
