Chapter 5 - Dance Monkey

Looking at the gifts sent to him, Xiao Shen sighed inwardly. He still had no idea whether these stuff were all real, or whether he was suffering from schizophrenia!

However, since he had chosen to do it, he would definitely go through with it!

This was the kind of person he was.

After accepting the gifts, a pill appeared in his pocket.

_This must be the strength pill..._ Xiao Shen thought with a frown. He felt his other pocket, but it was empty.

If what was in his pocket was the strength pill, then where was the Heavenly Claw blah blah technique?

Everyone went through the chunnibyou stage at least once in their lives, but, even after growing up and getting a job as an office worker, even middle aged men would sometimes wish that they were superman whenever they woke up late, so that they could quickly fly to work and avoid traffic.

University students sometimes wished that they could fast forward time and quickly go over boring lectures.

Humanity had an extraordinary craving for the extraordinary. Was this not why fantasy was such a popular genre?

Thus it was only natural that Xiao Shen had his interest piqued at the mention of some heavenly technique!

He was still in the middle of his contemplation when he discovered that everyone else had already fainted and he was the last man standing.

He jerked his head backwards with a look of surprise.

Wait, what the actual f*ck?!

How? When?

Just how fast was the f*cking Jiangshi?!!

The hopping vampire zombie looked at him, the last man standing, and began hopping towards him. It seemed slow, but it had already gotten close to him in a mere three hops!

In it's excited state after absorbing so much life energy, each hop was at least five metres wide!

"F*ck!" Xiao Shen flinched and subconsciously held out a hand to stop the Jiangshi from coming close.

The hopping zombie vampire was brainless, obviously, as it disregarded him and directly crashed into his palm.

BANG!

Xiao Shen was immediately sent flying from its immense strength!

[Ah? Did Anchor just get flung back by a mere Jiangshi??]

[Jiangshi dares touch MY Anchor Shen?!!]

«[### has gifted [+1] lightning strike!]

The sky rumbled, and a silver flash of lightning suddenly appeared, smiting the Jiangshi and turning it black!

"...." Xiao Shen was speechless.

However, he did not dare waste this opportunity!

He immediately took out the strength pill from his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

A sweet nectar like sensation filled his mouth and he involuntarily swallowed. As soon as the pill went down his throat, however, his muscles bulged with explosive energy!

The charred Jiangshi had used quite a bit of it's newly acquired life energy to barely block the sudden lightning bolt and, as such, was desperate to find more food to replenish itself.

When it's master had let it go out and gather energy, he had said that it should only siphon energy off the young and strong. Xiao Shen was young, and, at this moment, was rather strong. It was only natural to be targeted!

It dived at him again in a single hop, but he was unsurprised.

As it approached, he flexed his muscles and punched the vampire zombie right beneath it's jaws.

BANG!

This time around, the Jiangshi's lower jaw was completely dislocated, flying off into the distance. But, as a creature with no intelligence, it continued to attack him.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Xiao Shen danced around the creature, giving it a jab at every chance he could find.

The poor creature had lost an arm and ribcage, but continuously tried to bite him and suck his life energy, even if it did not have a lower jaw!

[Anchor is on fire 🔥🔥🔥]

«[### has gifted x2 speed!]»

[666!]

[666x2]

[666x3]

Xiao Shen became even faster as he pummeled the vampire zombie into meat paste.

Finally, the creature found that it could not deal with this human and decided to flee.

The moment it turned around, though, Xiao Shen had his eyes flash with mysterious symbols.

Heavenly Finger Claw Technique!

His fingers curled as though they were claws and his calves burst with explosive energy. He followed his urges and leapt into the air while waving his palm hard.

WHOOSH!

Five sharp blades of wind sliced through the air following his hand movements!

Pa!

The fleeing vampire zombie was directly cut into two!

The bullet chat exploded with comments.

[666!]

[Anchor is way too awesome!]

[The Heavenly Finger Claw Technique is not supposed to be this strong ...]

[As expected of Anchor!]

[KO'd with a low level technique!]

But Xiao Shen was not minding the screen. Instead, he looked at his hand in astonishment.

_How cool!_

Every man dreamt of having superpowers. Everyone wished that they could do extraordinary things.

Xiao Shen might have passed the chunnibyou stage of his life, but the yearn for the extraordinary was still there.

He was supposed to live like a normal person; make friends in his university days, have fun, suffer through lectures, tests and exams, barely passing, getting a job as an office worker or a lab assistant somewhere, marrying an average wife and having two kids, a boy and a girl. The kids would grow up while he and his wife would grow old, then he would eventually die as an ordinary person.

His thrills in life would have been him going on dates with cute girls, messing around with his roommates, and, after getting married and having kids, gossiping with the guys over glasses of Baijiu.

But things had changed!

He had the chance to gain miraculous abilities and plenty of benefit, simply from having his life streamed to these... beings!

If amusing them would let him lead an exciting life...

If entertaining them would make his life extraordinary...

Then he was ready to be a dance monkey for them!
