Half an hour later, the Chang Feng base members gathered in Chu Nanâs room that was temporarily being used as a dining room. A dozen people noisily crowded together and sat on small plastic stools to eat breakfast. Huang Shen Er even took out an old red woollen vest to give to the little alien crouching to one side, saying that she was afraid this hairless mutant dog would freeze to death when winter comes.
The black-haired youth was a little surprised, but he still happily accepted the crimson vest and slipped into onto the âhairlessâ little alienâs body.
After they finished breakfast, the black-haired youth pulled along the red vested little alien and walked towards Yun Cheng baseâs mission plaza with the other members. Yun Cheng base used to be a small town before the apocalypse. Although the streets werenât wide, the pavements and buildings on either side were neat and tidy. There were many ability users bustling about, but what was strange was that the residents they met on the way didnât show any surprise or fear towards the little monster that was parading around the streets. Instead, there were even some excited voices:
âLook at that! Isnât that the mutant dog that arrived at Yun Cheng yesterday?â
âI heard that it saved a lot of lives on the way here!â
âIts outfit is so cute! I also want to have one!â
The black-haired youth felt that the entire prosperous Yun Cheng base seemed to give off a strange feeling. Thus, he stopped in his steps and said to the two girls who were pointing at the little alien:
âIts name is Little Black Cub. Isnât it cute?â He then pretended to casually say: âDonât you guys think that Little Black Cub looks a lot like some other kind of animal?â
âIsnât it originally a dog that mutated? Itâs looks just like a dog, right? If not, then what else can it be?â One of the girls replied, not quite understanding why the black-haired youth would ask this kind of question. The other girl also nodded in agreement, giving the youth a puzzled look.

âAnd then?â A certain alien immediately asked.
âThen, didnât you wake up?â Uncle Chen gave the black-haired youth a strange look. âYou fed a piece of meat to this little dog and then it came back with us.â
âOh, right. We were really lucky to have Little Black Cub yesterday!â The black-haired youth said. Looking at the surrounding people who were talking and laughing in the bustling streets of Yun Cheng, he couldnât help but feel a little shocked. Perhaps Huo Li had silently altered the memories of several billion people living on C Planet. No one felt that there was anything wrong.
No wonder Huo Li always hid his capabilities. This really was tooâŠâŠ formidable.
If Huo Li really wanted to kill him, then even if he creates tens of billions of little aliens or vines, Huo Li would still be able to change their thoughts within a minute. Then, all the little aliens and vines would obediently turn themselves into little fat pigs and cheerfully line up to enter the slaughterhouseâŠâŠ
The black-haired youth shook his head and dispelled his straying throughts. He adjusted his expression and walked up to Xu Yun Chengâs side. Using an extremely moving voice, he said:
âBoss Xu! I really must thank you for yesterday. In order to help me, you guys took such a big risk to go to the pharmacyâŠâŠâ
âYou donât need to probe me out. I didnât lose my memory.â Xu Yun Cheng expressionlessly cut off the black-haired youthâs gratitude. He gave the youth a deep look, but it seemed that he was also apprehensive about the system's existence, so he didnât say any more.
âCough, then thatâs fine.â The black-haired youth awkwardly said, removing the innocent and admiring expression on his face.
Having only looked at the headlines on the home page of the forum, Xu Yun Cheng hesitated for a moment but still quietly asked: âLast night, did you really make Huo GeâŠâŠâ
âGoodbye!â The black-haired youth hurriedly cut off this horrific topic and retreated to the very back of the group with the little alien.
Soon, the group arrived at Yun Chengâs mission plaza. Since Yun Cheng was a place where electronic devices were prohibited throughout the city, the entire plaza was filled with notice boards and blackboards displaying missions. There were currently several thousand ability users in the plaza looking for a suitable mission for themselves.
At this moment, a young woman in a ponytail walked onto a platform in the middle of the plaza. Holding a battery-powered loudspeaker and adjusting the volume to the max, she announced to everyone:
âToday, our Yun Cheng will release an important mission. Regardless of the success or failure of the mission, every participant will receive 10,000 blue tickets as a reward.â
The ability users below the platform instantly became restless, shouting one after another that they wanted to sign up.
âEveryone, settle down. Because this mission is extremely dangerous and concerns the fate of the entire base, we will only recruit 10 ability users with the strongest firepower. In half an hour, we will hold an open single-elimination tournament. This time, our deputy city lord Tang will serve as the judge! Any ability users who are interested can now come up to register. However, itâs best if youâre a third level or above attack ability user. Lastly, everyone is welcome to spread this information onto others.â
As soon as she finished speaking, several daring ability users rushed onto the platform and confidently said in a loud voice:
âQian Jiang, fourth level power ability user, registering for the tournament.â
âLiu Yun, fourth level fire ability user, registering for the tournament.â
These peopleâs ability levels instantly subdued the majority of the ability users in the plaza. Afterwards, the amount of people who came forward suddenly became a lot less. Most of them were fourth level ability users. There was even a young woman called Liu Ran who was actually a fifth level fire ability user! Amongst them, there were only a few courageous third level ability users who wanted to try their luck.
At this moment, under the surprised gazes of everyone in Chang Feng, Xu Yun Cheng also walked onto the platform and said in a clear voice:
âXu Yun Cheng, third level earth ability user, registering for the tournament.â
A couple of sneers came from below the platform. Clearly, his rank was the lowest amongst the competitors, and his ability had the least attack power.
Xu Yun Cheng turned a deaf ear to this and walked back to the other members of Chang Feng. Giving the black-haired youth a vague glance, he then motioned for him to go up and register.
The black-haired youth: ââŠâŠâ Even if you wanted to secretly gather all the Salvation Alliance saviours together, did you have to use this kind of method?!
The black-haired youth grumbled in his heart and walked onto the platform. Then, under the focus of 10,000 people, he cleared his throat and said:
âXiao Yi, first level space ability user, registering for the tournament.â
