Chapter 7: Become a vampire from today
New York is big, and it is not easy to live there.
Especially the houses in Manhattan, which are not affordable for someone like him who has just graduated from college for two years and is still carrying student loans.
Even though his annual salary is already 120,000 US dollars now.
But compared with the housing prices in Manhattan, this money is not enough, but it can't even buy a toilet.
This apartment is rented by Locke now.
The original rent was 2,000 US dollars per year, but since half a year ago, it has become 2,000 US dollars per month.
However, even if the rent has increased, it is still relatively cheap compared with other apartments of the same type.
After Locke opened the door and returned home, he put the car keys in the candy bowl next to him, then took out a box of frozen pizza from the refrigerator, put it in the microwave to heat it, opened the wine cabinet next to him, and took out a bottle of bourbon that was more than half full.
After drinking a glass of wine, he immediately felt that the fatigue of the day disappeared.
Locke drank the bourbon in the cup, thought about it, and with a thought, he called up his plug-in interface again, looking at the E-level vampire ability that can be copied.
He was considering whether to accept this ability with four lines of negative effects, or wait and copy it when he has a better ability.
Both options have their pros and cons.
Copy early and enjoy early.
Copy late, of course, enjoy the discount.
At that time, directly copy a high-level vampire ability, you can save the extraordinary points that need to be spent from E-level to D-level or even to B-level or A-level.
After all, this E-level vampire ability has too many negative effects.
But...
These negative effects can be exempted after upgrading.
But this is not where Locke hesitated.
He hesitated on one point.
Starting this year, mutant attacks on the Sentinel Secret Service have also begun to increase.
It is said that an organization called "Mutant Freedom" has emerged within the mutant community.
The predecessor of this organization is speculated to be the "Hellfire Club".
The mutants of this organization, under the name of "Mutant Supremacy", have attacked the Sentinel Secret Service in various places since this year.
And they have succeeded many times.
New York City is no exception.
Last month, Ralph, the leader of Sentinel Group 2, who was a senior agent like Locke, was killed by mutants in the parking lot of the mall.
A business card of the "Mutant Freedom" organization was left next to Ralph's body.
Half a month ago, a member of Group 5 also said that he was attacked by mutants when he went home at night.
So...
Yes, or no.
Locke held the wine glass in his hand, and his mind was storming wildly.
After a while.
Ding!
The sound of the microwave heating ended sounded, waking Locke up and making Locke determined.
Yes.
What if the mutants of "Mutant Freedom" come to attack him tomorrow.
In this kind of thing, you are not afraid of ten thousand, but you are afraid of one.
Frankly speaking, he has never been very confident about his luck.
Just look at the cheat that was late for twenty-two years.
What if he gave up this opportunity and didn't find other vampires along this vampire, and the mutants just came to attack at this time.
What to do?
No.
Safety first.
Locke made a decision!
Even though this D-level vampire gene has many weaknesses at present, it is better to prepare for a rainy day than to mend the fold after the sheep have been sheeped.
As long as there is life, there is a dream!
As for the four-line weakness of this E-level vampire gene, just upgrade it.
Locke, who made up his mind, immediately had a thought.
The next second.
Ding!
At the moment Locke made his choice, the cheat also responded.
With a ding sound, the interface showing the "vampire ability" in the cheat interface instantly began to shrink towards the center, and then quickly shrank into a gem.
"Copy successful!"
"Ding! 』
『First card slot: "Vampire Gene"』
『Ability level: "E"』
『Ability effect: "Eternal life, immortality, slightly improve your own attack, defense and speed..."』
『Ability side effects: "Thirst (need to drink blood every day), artifacts (holy water and wooden stakes can kill you), sunlight is your natural enemy (exposure to sunlight will make you slow and uncomfortable), ultraviolet rays are your life gate (if exposed to ultraviolet rays, you will be completely gray)..."』
『Ability improvement: "10 points!"』
As the vampire gene transformed into an ability gem was completely embedded in the position of the first card slot, Locke also felt the changes in his body at the first time.
His body seemed to be undergoing irreversible changes at this moment.
A dead breath quietly emerged from his body.
Locke could even feel his heart beating slowly at this moment.
Slowly, slowly, until it stopped beating completely.
The next second.
An inexplicable desire began to slowly emerge from the depths of his heart.
Even his skin color gradually turned pale at the moment when his heart stopped beating.

However, Locke was originally white, and now, he was just whiter.
After a while.
Locke, who was sitting on a high stool at the bar and seemed like a statue, suddenly opened his eyes.
The originally blue eyes completely turned scarlet at this moment.
E-class vampire genes, successfully fused.
Locke looked at his arm.
pale.
but!
powerful.
Boom!
Locke clenched his hand into a fist, and suddenly, a sound as if the air was being squeezed was heard loudly at the moment the fist was formed.
Not only the strength, but also the sense of smell and even hearing have been improved to a certain extent.
He could smell the pizza from the apartment next door and even hear the clapping for love coming from the apartment above.
It was that woman, her scream was a little too fake.
Locke stared up at the ceiling above him.
At this moment, as the tip of my nose smelled a certain smell, as if it had touched some mechanism, a feeling of hunger and thirst arose spontaneously.
This is the taste of blood.
Locke looked in the direction of the apartment door.
The female tenant in the apartment next door was frowning and covering the bloody wound she had accidentally cut while cutting pizza.
Locke, who almost subconsciously walked to the door of the apartment, suddenly realized something and stopped.
Damn side effects.
upgrade.
Must upgrade!
"bite! 』
"Ability improvement requires consumption..."
"promote! 』
Half an hour later.
Locke stood in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror through the bathroom mirror, and the system interface that seemed to appear in the mirror.
"Extraordinary, become a god"
"Extraordinary card slot: "1""
"Extraordinary Points: "1""
"The first card slot: "Vampire Gene""
"Ability level: "B""
"Ability effects: "Eternal life (conventional weapons cannot strip your life away), immortality (your appearance is frozen at this moment), your strength, defense, speed and your senses are improved to a certain extent."
"Negative abilities: "Desire for blood (blood is the source of your vitality. If you don't take it for a week, you will continue to weaken), Night Walker (cold you, cold night, you have become the darling of the night, in the dark night, Your strength will be improved to a certain extent, but as a price, when you travel during the day, your ability will be weakened. Although it is not fatal, it is uncomfortable)”』
"Remarks: "You can spend 200 extraordinary points to continue to improve this ability."
Locke looked at himself in the mirror and grinned.
Enter the eyes.
Two newborn vampire teeth gleamed.
Locke looked at himself in the mirror, with a pale face and blood-red and blue eyes, and raised his eyebrows involuntarily.
Don't tell me, he seems a bit more handsome.
