Global Awakening: Infinite Gift Pack System-Chapter 132: The Evil Thoughts

"Wait... What?" Kai was stunned as he saw the Appraisal Result!

This was a huge deal!

[ You have discovered Nano Circuit Board! ]

[ Grade: Special Material ]

[ Description: A small circuit board designed to control energy flow in machines. Commonly used in advanced traps, weapons, or shelter devices. ]

[ Note: This board can replace damaged or drained Sentinel circuits. It is one of the required components to change their programming. ]

"It’s real..." Kai muttered, referring to the Appraisal’s ability to provide not just the name of the item but also the rarity and its function!

Indeed, showing the board’s function was definitely important. The appraisal didn’t describe what the board was made of or the components to build one. It just mentioned how it could be used!

The fact that it could be used to reprogram a Sentinel was a crucial matter. After all, they had a lot of drained Sentinels here!

For now, however, it was just one of the many requirements.

He then checked the other materials, but as he appraised them all and lost a bunch of Spirit Points, he didn’t find them as interesting as the Circuit Board.

Still, he was super happy with the Energy Cores! They were even C-Grades at that!

Just like that, Kai finally turned his attention to his next reward.

It was the ribbon icon within his inventory. It turns out that it was the Exclusive Title Upgrade Chance!

[ Exclusive Title Upgrade Chance Available ]

[ Do you want to activate? ]

Kai confirmed.

[ Title Upgrade Process Initiated... ]

[ Processing... ]

Soon, four of his current titles appeared before him:

[ Title: Skilled Survivor ]

[ Title: Pioneer ]

[ Title: Siege Breaker ]

[ Title: Guardian ]

Kai studied them carefully. Each one represented a milestone in his journey so far.

The Skilled Survivor Title was basically something that would help him endure and adapt. He got it after his Survivor Title got upgraded when he reached Level 20.

As for the Pioneer Title, it was something he received after breaking through Level 5 when he absorbed the C-Grade Sentinel’s energy core. In any case, this title could give him a faster Gene Skill Proficiency Increase Rate.

Siege Breaker Title, on the other hand, was something he obtained after the first Global Event, Mech Siege... It gave him increased Health and Spirit Recovery.

Lastly, the new Guardian Title that he received after reaching Level 20...

’Is it this one then?’ Kai mused...

It was basically a title that boosted his physical defense, heightened his pain tolerance, and fixed his low stamina!

’What to do here?’

He was in a dilemma...

It was a pity that he could not see what kind of upgrade would happen.

If there was a hint, he’d be able to select the best possible option...

"The Skilled Survivor will probably evolve on its own if I level up... Then, the Siege Breaker’s upgrade will happen after the next Mech Siege Event..."

Kai was torn apart...

In the end, he made his choice...

"Aarrghh... This should do! I got you from level 5... You need to be better!"

With that set, he selected Pioneer, and just like that, it was upgraded!

[ You have selected Pioneer Title. ]

[ Title Upgrade has started... ]

[ Congratulations, your title has been upgraded to Trailblazer! ]

[ Trailblazer: A title that pushes the user’s growth beyond normal limits. It increases proficiency gain for all Gene Skills by 30% and boosts the chance of unlocking new Gene Skill branches when leveling. ]

"Thirty percent increase? I’ll take it..." Kai muttered. He really liked this since his reliance on Skill Points would drop a lot thanks to this title.

After all, Skill Points were just too precious!

As a matter of fact, in this 10-day event, he only got two Skill Points as a reward, even after being the top performer!

He expected that the others would get one or even none at all!

"This is awesome..." Kai muttered as his attention turned to his collection of Survivor Medals...

He got 7 Medals from the Event Rewards, while another 6 Medals from the Hidden Quest Rewards... Furthermore, he earned some more from the others after conducting a trade...

Now, he had a total of 21 Survivor Medals!

’Right. Some of them haven’t paid yet. They should have medals by now... They’ll probably pay me later. If not, I’ll just remind them...’ Kai mused as he was already thinking of what item he’d get from the Gene Trader.

***

In the meantime, Terrence, the man with Epic Pathfinder Talent and part of Claire’s Assault Team B, couldn’t help but pause at the reward he had just received...

His Gene Skill Awakening Token had just given him a powerful reward!

’Isn’t this too good to be true?’

The Pathfinder Talent was already powerful since it always kept him safe... He could also guide others through danger.

But now, the system had given him something far more insidious!

[ New Gene Skill Awakened! ]

[ Skill: Hypnotic Suggestion Lv0 ]

[ Description: Allows the user to place a target into a trance, manipulate their minds, suppressing memory and awareness for up to 10 minutes. Duration may extend depending on the target’s mental resilience. Target will forget all actions during the effect. ]

A slow grin spread across his face.

’Ten minutes... enough to bend someone’s will. Enough to make them forget what they’ve done. Enough to make them mine. Why is this too perfect?’

His mind was already considering a lot of possibilities.

He knew that the perfect way to use this was against his rivals... He could make someone hand over their rewards. He could plant ideas, stir chaos, and no one would even remember...

And in the shelter, there were plenty of targets. Survivors who trusted too easily. Leaders who thought they were untouchable. Even Claire’s Assault Team B, the very group he was part of... he could turn them against each other without lifting a blade if he ever wanted...

But then, Terrence’s thoughts darkened further.

His thoughts turned toward a few beautiful figures within the shelter. There were Sera, Althea, Elena... and Marissa, barely twenty‑one, and she was full of youthful energy...

Terrence licked his lips as he almost couldn’t contain his excitement.

’No... Not yet. It can be too risky. I have to be calm and test its limit first. I can’t be hasty... No one must know about this...’
