The streets were packed with people who poured out to surround the heroes who had protected them for two nights. Given their battered bodies, the crowd would have tossed them into the clouds, let them fall, and tossed them up again if they could.
Su Ze didn't enjoy being surrounded, so like yesterday, he went to the riverside to wash the blood off his body.
Shen Qingsheng was different - he could barely move and was quickly surrounded by excited citizens who gave him water, food, and medical attention from civilian doctors who rushed to stop his bleeding. Waves of praise washed over him - this was just the basics.
Several young girls excitedly gathered around him, not minding the blood covering his body, and planted kisses on him.
"Young man, are you single? I have..."
Hearing the aunt's words, he became excited, "Auntie! Are you going to introduce your daughter to me?"
The aunt looked embarrassed, "No, young man, I wanted to say... how about me?"
"..."
Su Ze smoked by the river, waiting until Shen Qingsheng was picked up by an ambulance with logistics personnel, and he followed them to the hospital.
Shen Qingsheng needed immediate treatment to survive.
The singing outside the door suddenly stopped.
Uesugi Akizuki woke up, looking around confused before burying her face deep in her knees again.
"Doctor! Doctor! Please save my husband! Please save him!"
"Son, hang in there, hang in there! Don't leave mama... don't leave mama..."
"Where is everyone! Help! Save us!"
"Please don't shout! Our heroes are resting! Please line up orderly, don't crowd, our hospital will take responsibility for every patient, please trust us..."
The cries in the hospital were heart-wrenching. Su Ze lay semi-conscious on the operating table, the bright lights making it difficult to open his eyes.
In his ears were the steady but slightly hurried voices of medical staff.
He slowly opened his eyes and turned his head away from the blinding light, suddenly seeing the busy anesthesiologist, which made his heart sink.
However, a few seconds after opening his eyes, strong drowsiness hit him again - seems the anesthesiologist had increased the dosage.
In the end, he didn't know how he got off the operating table. When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in a hospital bed wearing a patient gown, with his belongings neatly arranged on the nearby table - his straight knife, walkie-talkie, and tattered coat all folded tidily.
In the next bed was the unconscious Shen Qingsheng, covered in bandages. If it weren't for his faint energy fluctuations, Su Ze would have thought he was lying next to a mummy, or that he'd been buried in a pyramid.
"You're awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" A young nurse quickly came to ask.
Su Ze licked his dry lips, "...My whole body feels uncomfortable."
Seeing this, the nurse quickly got a glass of water and helped him drink it.
Meng Xingyao watched as Uesugi Chigenki kept running around in the woods, searching through plants, shrubs, tree trunks, leaves, ant holes, mouse holes, and other ridiculous places.
"You must be crazy," Meng Xingyao said calmly, following behind.
"What do you know! She's my sister! Of course you're not worried - it's not your sister who's missing!" Uesugi Chigenki's eyes welled with tears.
"How small do you think your sister is? Small enough to fit in an ant hole?" Meng Xingyao was exasperated.
"What else can I do! I've looked everywhere," at this point, she collapsed to the ground crying, choking with self-blame, "What can I do... what can I do..."
"What can you do?" Meng Xingyao shrugged, smiling, "There's already an efficient solution right here."
"What solution!" Uesugi Chigenki jumped to her feet.
Meng Xingyao smiled, but to Uesugi Chigenki, it looked somewhat evil, no... very, very evil! This evil woman!
"Help me guard the blood moon tonight, and I'll request to use the Forerunner's resources to help find your sister. Trust me, even if you're spies, in this situation, as long as you work for Huaxia, once the blood moon period is over, Huaxia will pardon your crimes, and you and your sister can safely return home."
"Of course, all this assumes your sister is still alive," Meng Xingyao said frankly.
"We're not spies!" Surprisingly, Uesugi Chigenki's first response wasn't concern about whether her sister was alive, but rather to defend their innocence.
It seemed she was very confident her sister could survive these two days of natural disasters.
"Alright, alright, big sister believes you," Meng Xingyao extended her hand, smiling, "Shall we cooperate?"
Uesugi Chigenki grabbed her hand without hesitation - there was no other choice now.
However, after shaking hands, Meng Xingyao didn't let go, instead directly leading the girl while smiling, "Then let's go home now."
After saying this, she simply led Uesugi Chigenki back, and since they were both using their right hands to hold hands, Uesugi Chigenki walking behind felt somewhat awkward.
"The support coming to Dust City is the Wandering Troupe of Huaxia Ghost Officers, a recently formed squad that's already famous among the Ghost Officers. Their captain is Chu Yang, who just returned from another world - he's a legendary figure in Huaxia!"
"Dust City is now under this squad's management, so even if you're lying in a hospital bed all day, tonight's Seventh District will have a peaceful night."
Lying in his hospital bed, listening to his superior's description of the squad coming to take over for tonight's blood moon, Su Ze was puzzled, "Are they... that strong?"
A different voice took over, extremely excited, "Damn right! They're not just strong, they're absolutely incredible! Top-tier Huaxia Ghost Officers!"
"Get out!" His superior pushed away the person who interrupted, "So what if they're incredible? Are we Forerunners any less?"
There was a commotion from the other end, seemingly the person was kicked flying dozens of meters away with a deafening bang, followed by the sound of someone lighting a cigarette and sighing wistfully, "Ah~ They are indeed incredible. Wonder when our conventional Huaxia Forerunners will produce such an amazing squad."
This was a hint, and Su Ze understood it clearly.
By afternoon, Su Ze could barely walk, and he pulled out all the tubes and needles from his body.
The power of Ability Users and Transcendents is reflected in their superhuman physical qualities.
The difference between Ability Users and Transcendents is that Ability Users can use abilities, while Transcendents don't have abilities but can use some superhuman powers through cultivation.
Ability Users' powers exist beyond normal logic, while Transcendents' powers exist within the bounds of reason.
To become either type, one must unlock the genetic locks that humans are born with. There are many ways to unlock these, and anyone can do it if they find the right method - basically, it depends on how high your comprehension is.
Secondly, it depends on how lucky you are, like falling off a cliff, hitting some rocks, accidentally opening your meridians, and coincidentally unlocking your genetic locks through interrupted breathing.
If you're even luckier, you might find a cave at the bottom of the cliff with an old immortal inside who says, "Want to buy some power-ups? That'll be 30 Q-coins."

ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
