Another day passed quietly. With enough money, Zhou Chen quickly completed the transfer of ownership of the villa and became the real owner. At the same time, his Porsche’s license plate and driver’s license were also delivered to him by the manager himself. Such good service made Zhou Chen promise to buy another car from him in the future.
After obtaining his villa, Zhou Chen no longer felt restricted like in the rented room. The area of his villa was not small, and there were high walls around it. It was very suitable for him to train in secret for a long time.
It was already afternoon. Zhou Chen was practicing the basic moves of the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art in the courtyard. He suddenly jumped three meters high and swung his palm at the pool not far away; water spurted into the sky from the pool as if a bomb had detonated in it.
“My Pure Yang Overlord Body talent lives up to its name. In just these two days of cultivation, my Eight Desolates True Energy can be released beyond ten meters…” Zhou Chen landed stably on the ground and sighed inwardly.
Although he had been cultivating seriously these past two days, his cultivation had often been interrupted because he had to deal with many matters like buying this villa, terminating the contract of the rented room, and so on. Even so, his improvement was very fast, proving that the Pure Yang Overlord Body’s enhancement on martial dao cultivation was not fake.
“I should be able to break through to the expert realm when I can release the Eight Desolates True Energy a hundred meters or so…”
Zhou Chen was a little displeased with the initiated realm martial artist label on his interface. He wanted to level it up as soon as possible. He resumed his training, working hard to increase the control over and the density of the Eight Desolates True Energy.
The day passed quickly. Zhou Chen woke up early the next morning.
He looked at the time on his phone and got out of bed to wash up. He went to the kitchen and grilled five large steaks he had bought yesterday, three large glasses of milk, and four oranges for breakfast.
After breakfast, he did not continue training in martial arts. Instead, he walked to the balcony, took out a piece of tree bark paper, and began to draw a crabapple flower that was growing in the garden below the balcony with a quill.
As a Card Creator, he had to practice creating cards from time to time. He could not waste his skills.
Before long, the bark paper in his hand turned into a flower that was very similar to the crabapple flowers in the garden, making him nod inwardly.
“The Danqing passive skill I obtained is indeed very useful. Even if I use a quill, I can exert 80 to 90% of its ability.”
After testing his drawing skill, Zhou Chen turned the crabapple flower back into a card and placed it in his inventory.
He then sat on the sofa in the living room and began to wait, because a new Survival mission was about to begin.
[Survival mission is about to begin. Please be prepared.]
[Teleportation begins…]
[Apocalypse World
Difficulty: High bronze
Main mission: Survive for a year.
Sub Mission: Establish your own shelter. (Note: The more people you protect, the better the reward.)
Prompt:
1: There are no drops from killing monsters in this dungeon, but some of the items can be brought back to Planet Blue.
2: Your initial identity is a researcher, and your starting location is an abandoned research institute. There is mild pollution here, please evacuate to a safe area as soon as possible.
3: You are given the basic language knowledge of the natives. You can communicate with them.]
When Zhou Chen scanned the details of the Survival mission, he was already in a room that emitted a strange smell.
This room could be seen to be in the modern style, but the computer tables and chairs inside were very old and in a ruined state. In the room, other than him, there was another young man. He was slightly shorter than Zhou Chen, but he looked decent and stood straight. He was wearing a yellow-green camouflage suit, and it was obvious that he had a military background.
“Comrade, are you from Dragon Country?”
When this seemingly young military Survivor looked at Zhou Chen, his eyes immediately lit up. He took the initiative to ask in Dragon Country language.
“Yes,” Zhou Chen did not hide it. He was wearing the black half face mask produced by the magic card, and answered in Dragon Country’s language.
“This is great. I didn’t expect that there is another person in our Dragon Country who has advanced to the high bronze rank. Let me introduce myself. I’m Li Guofu, I’m from the Dragon Country Survivor Administration,” after confirming Zhou Chen’s identity, this person introduced himself.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Li Xing, a law-abiding citizen of Dragon Country,” Zhou Chen was a little speechless. This person introduced himself as soon as he came up, and also had an official identity, making him have no choice but to cooperate.
“Hmm…”
“Comrade Li, since there are only the two of us in this Survival mission, we have to cooperate and pass it.”
“Alright,” Zhou Chen scratched his head helplessly. “Let’s leave this place quickly…”
He remembered that the system had warned him about the pollution in this place. They could not stay here for long.
“Yeah, I have a detector. I’ll take the lead.” After saying that, the young man in camouflage clothes took out a compass-like thing. He glanced at the compass and walked steadily towards the door.
‘There’s no danger within a hundred meters, but there seems to be something further.’ Because Zhou Chen had the Bloodthirst passive skill, even without the compass, he could detect some biological information in the surroundings.
Soon, they exited the starting room and stepped into a dimly lit corridor.
There was an indescribable strange smell in the corridor. There were also some white bones scattered on the ground. Some were from animals, some were from humans, and some seemed to be a mix of both.
They walked past the bones on the ground at a moderate pace and arrived before a rusty iron door.
“My compass has a reaction. There should be enemies outside. Prepare for battle,” the young man in camouflage clothes suddenly turned around and said to Zhou Chen in a low voice. At the same time, a silver pistol appeared in his hand.
‘This person has firearms!’ Zhou Chen was surprised. He had already gone through seven to eight Survival missions, but he had never obtained any firearms.
While Zhou Chen was pensive, the iron door had already been gently pulled open by the young man. His actions were very gentle as he squatted down slightly and opened the door with his gloved left hand while aiming the silver gun in his right hand outside.
After the iron door was slowly pulled open, the two of them saw a wasteland formed of weeds, stones, bones, and various kinds of trash outside. Apart from the dead things, there were also some ferocious and ugly creatures wandering outside.
They looked to be some kind of dog, but they were much larger. They had no hair and were covered in warts. Their protruding fangs occasionally dripped with unknown liquid..
