Crap!
I was so focused on figuring out if the system failure has anything to do with Su Xiyan that I forgot Su Xiyan has a best friend who is also a Demon Hunter!
I just drank the physical enhancement potion rewarded by the system, so my vampire scent is growing stronger!
Su Xiyan is only a Silver Tier 3 Demon Hunter, who seems quite mediocre, but compared to Chen Shuo's system, she is still lacking.
The cloaking technique she casted on Chen Shuo definitely does not match up against the effects brought by the enhancement potion.
"Could it be that Cheng Xinran smelled the vampire scent on my body?"
Chen Shuo's system is currently online. Taking care of someone like Cheng Xinran would be a piece of cake.
However, Chen Shuo still needs to stay by Su Xiyan's side, he cannot reveal his identity easily.
In a matter of seconds, Chen Shuo's mind raced at lightning speed.
Sure enough, Cheng Xinran, who was only separated by a car window, seemed to have smelled something unusual. Her delicate little nose wrinkled slightly.
"Hmm? Why do I smell the scent of a vampire?"
Chen Shuo remained expressionless and steady. He pointed to the depths of the alley and said:
"It's probably the scent of the vampire inside the barrier that drifted out."
Cheng Xinran was half convinced.
"Can a vampire's scent penetrate through barriers?"
Chen Shuo shamelessly bluffed with a serious look on his face.
"When vampires are fighting, the scent on their bodies must be much stronger."
"And with the barrier upwind, it makes sense for the vampire's scent to be blown over, right?"
"As a Demon Hunter, could it be that you don't even understand this basic common sense?"
Seeing the look of contempt on Chen Shuo's face,
Cheng Xinran felt like he made a lot of sense.
Chen Shuo immediately summoned the system in his mind.
[System, conceal my vampire scent.]
After the system made a "ding" sound,
Chen Shuo felt that the scent on his body had become more restrained without any difference from an ordinary human.
Cheng Xinran and Su Xiyan were two completely different types of girls. Su Xiyan was more aloof with an aura of superiority, and very strong-willed. Cheng Xinran, on the other hand, gave off a girl next door vibe, with laughter always twinkling in her eyes. She sized Chen Shuo up and asked gossipingly:
"I heard from Xiyan that she recently took on a personal assistant."
"That's you, right?"
Chen Shuo nodded: "Yes, that's me."
"My name is Chen Shuo. I'm Miss Su Xiyan's personal assistant. Please give me plenty of guidance."
Cheng Xinran was puzzled: "Why would Xiyan hire you as her assistant?"
Chen Shuo was very confident: "Probably because I'm handsome!"
Chen Shuo's teasing made Cheng Xinran burst into laughter. Her attitude towards him also became much more amiable, without any of her previous doubt.
Chen Shuo summoned the system in his mind again and looked towards Cheng Xinran. The virtual display panel of the system immediately pulled up Cheng Xinran's information.
[Name: Cheng Xinran]
[Age: 21]
[Attribute: Silver Tier 2 Demon Hunter]
[Specialty: Tracking - can accurately track down the exact location of nearby vampires]
This Cheng Xinran specialized in tracking down vampires that appeared in the area for the Demon Hunter organization in Su City.
And she even opened a backdoor for Su Xiyan, providing information on only intermediate vampires that show up in the area. This makes it convenient for Su Xiyan to level up to a Gold Demon Hunter after hunting intermediate vampires.
Chen Shuo took this opportunity to ask about information regarding Su Xiyan. From Cheng Xinran's words, he learned some basic information about Su Xiyan. Afterall, how could he read Su Xiyan's information from the system display when the system malfunctions in front of her? He could only inquire from her best friend.
Just then, a bloody stench seemed to penetrate through the barrier and assaulted them!
"It's the bloody aura of a vampire!!" Chen Shuo couldn't help but frown as he blurted out.
Cheng Xinran immediately became vigilant, but the air seemed normal. And Chen Shuo was just an ordinary human in her eyes. She figured he was just being overly nervous, so she didn't think much of it.
Although Chen Shuo was merely a newbie low-tier vampire, he had the system by his side now.
As a vampire, his vision, hearing, touch, strength, speed, wound healing abilities etc., were far superior compared to ordinary humans to begin with.
With the system's enhancements, Chen Shuo's actual combat ability was much higher than his current level.
At this moment, although Chen Shuo was still sitting in the car, his gaze could directly penetrate the small alley to see the live footage of what was happening inside the barrier.
A man wearing a t-shirt and jeans, who looked no different from an ordinary human, was moving extremely fast!
To dodge Su Xiyan's attack, he was crouching on the ground one second ago.
The next second, he had already jumped up. His legs seemed to have springs installed as he leapt onto the rusty metal railing with a "swish", stably standing on it.
Under Su Xiyan's barrage, the vampire who resembled an ordinary human gradually revealed his true form.
Bloodshot eyes! Gleaming with a predatory glint!
The corners of his mouth tore open with sharp fangs poking out. Under the moonlight, they gave off an ominous, bone-chilling glint!
His fingernails and toenails also became long and sharp! The curved toenails even pierced through his shoes, leaving scratch marks on the metal bars!
Chen Shuo was shocked inwardly. So this is an intermediate vampire?
The difference between intermediate and low-tier vampires is this huge?
No wonder Su Xiyan looks down on a low-tier vampire like himself.
This intermediate vampire looks so powerful. No wonder Demon Hunters get a huge boost in points after killing one.
The intermediate vampire who had revealed his true form was crouching on the railing, seeming to be gathering power to prepare for a lethal strike!
Facing him, Su Xiyan halted and narrowed her eyes with a murderous aura swirling!
Beneath her feet, air currents surged. Her long, beautiful hair fluttered wildly in the windless night.
Her slender, fair fingers grasped at the air, and a blue flaming crossbow materialized in her hands.
"A demon hunting crossbow??" Chen Shuo's eyes flickered.
It looks like Su Xiyan is also preparing to unleash her killer move.
However, the vampire across from her seems even more powerful!
As Chen Shuo expected, he wasn't wrong!
Just as Su Xiyan newly summoned her demon hunting crossbow, the intermediate vampire that had been accumulating power on the railing suddenly shot towards her swifter than lightning!
Chen Shuo couldn't help but complain inwardly: Damn! Sneak attacking?! How utterly lacking in chivalry!!
Before Su Xiyan could fire her crossbow, the vampire had already pounced at her with the thick stench of blood!
Proud and aloof, Su Xiyan gritted her teeth with determination to handle this intermediate vampire alone.
But now, shrouded by the aura of death, unprecedented terror assaulted her!
In an instant, she had the crisis perception of hovering at death's door!
Outside the barrier, the tablet in Cheng Xinran's hands suddenly emitted urgent beeping alarms.
Her expression changed drastically. "Crap! Xiyan is in danger!!"
When she opened the tablet, the small red dots representing the vampire had turned into leaping red exclamation marks!
This signified that this intermediate vampire was unleashing its killer move!
Cheng Xinran's figure swiftly dashed towards the barrier.
But it was too late!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life.

Every time the train starts moving, it updates detailed information about the next station, warning of dangers and revealing potential treasures. While others must cautiously explore, Qi Xiao can rapidly develop his strength by relying on the station forecasts.
