Protagonist:

Shen Yao

"Auntie Shen, we can't take it, we really can't take it," Chen Xuanxuan said, feeling too embarrassed to accept food and other things.

After all, Chen Xuanxuan wasn't that thick-skinned; when she had come to Shen Yao's home before, Shen Chengyi had taken the initiative. Chen Xuanxuan was just like her name—gentle and mild, appearing not at all aggressive.

Shen Yao didn't wait for Chen Xuanxuan to refuse, directly shoving the prepared items into her hands. "You child, just take it when I tell you to. In the future, you'll still need to help look after Chengyu and Chengning. If you don't take it, how can I dare to trouble you?"

Chen Xuanxuan:...

Chen Xuanxuan accepted the things with a moved expression, thinking that Auntie Shen always said one thing but meant another. In reality, she had always been taken care of by the Shen family. Even if Chengyu and Chengning joined her team, they wouldn't cause any trouble; Shen Chengyi would surely find a chance to bring them over.

"Auntie Shen, thank you."

Chen Xuanxuan left carrying the things, leaving only the three members of the Shen family in the room.

Shen Yao raised her hand and patted Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning on the shoulders. "Get along well with Xuanxuan these few days. Don't stick your neck out unless necessary."

"Wait until your eldest sister returns, discuss it, and see how to act most appropriately."

They couldn't stay in Chen Xuanxuan's team for too long; the two sides just weren't compatible.

Shen Yao was always generous with those who were easy to talk to, adhering to a strategy where everyone benefits, achieving a win-win.

Once inside the Official, speaking of future development, it was definitely true that the closer to the Core, the more promising the prospects.

Shen Chengyi was currently striving in that direction. If Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning wanted to avoid detours, listening more to Shen Chengyi's suggestions couldn't hurt.

Mm-hmm, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning both indicated they weren't the type to act recklessly. They definitely had to wait for their eldest sister to return before deciding what to do next. No matter how outsiders were, they couldn't compare to family.

…………

Shen Chengyi returned on an ordinary afternoon, without her usual dusty and travel-worn appearance, and her clothes were even clean and tidy.

"The mission went very smoothly. The Official rewarded us with many special points," Shen Chengyi said, taking off the backpack on her shoulder and, by the way, taking out a box with good sealing. "This is Evolution Potion."

Extra rewards given by the Official.

Shen Yao took it and opened the box, seeing twelve tubes of potion neatly arranged in four rows and three columns inside, the same color as the ones Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had drunk initially.

"Your mission this time" must have been very dangerous; otherwise, the Official couldn't give so many Evolution Potions. One had to know that the number of ability users was not large, and Evolution Potions were not easy to synthesize. Shen Chengyi could now take out twelve tubes at once, and Shen Yao dared not imagine what Shen Chengyi had actually experienced in the wilderness.

Shen Chengyi smiled, without a single complaint or relief, just treating it as ordinary. "There's no difficulty for me."

But for others, it was nine deaths to one life, and less than one in ten could survive.

There was no need to tell the family too much and cause them worry. Shen Chengyi turned to look at her two younger sisters, who were standing by the side behaving obediently and not speaking. "Done?"

There was the smell of energy fluctuations on her body, common among some newly awakened ability users. Although she had been away for quite a while, when she left, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning hadn't yet had the urgent desire to drink Evolution Potions. This must have happened at some point before she returned.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning simply stretched out their fingers to show Shen Chengyi their abilities. Although the elementary water and wood types were very weak, after their diligent study and hard training during this period, they had improved somewhat. At least the abilities they shot out could slightly injure people, instead of being like tickling.

Shen Chengyi:...

Although and however, it still looked too weak. Not to mention comparing with her current ability, even compared to when she first awakened, they couldn't match up.

Shen Chengyi raised her hand and rubbed her head. Originally, she had planned to divide this box of Evolution Potions equally among the three family members, but now she felt this one box wasn't enough. Ability improvement relied on either going out to fight or using Evolution Potions. Since she didn't want to think about going out to fight for now, she would first fill up on Evolution Potions, then talk about other things.

Like a conjurer, she took out another box of Evolution Potions from the backpack. Shen Yao widened her eyes, and Shen Chengyi directly spoke out loud. "Eldest sister, did you hit the old nest of the Evolution Wood Puppets? How could you get Evolution Potions given by the Official, and in such a large quantity?"

The Official was very stingy. When they became ability users, it was only one tube per person. Moreover, the Official had strict restrictions on purchasing Evolution Potions; one couldn't buy them just by having special points. Our eldest sister, awesome!

Shen Chengyi shook her head helplessly. "The missions I take aren't suitable for you. Stay honestly in the Shelter to improve your strength. When the time is right later, I'll take you out to do missions."

With Shen Chengyi holding the line, even if they encountered a more powerful enemy, they would have a way out.

"Alright, let's talk after you've rested," Shen Yao interrupted the atmosphere of the three sisters wanting to continue chatting. Without further ado, she raised her hand and pushed Shen Chengyi back to the room. "The food is ready, all your favorites. Take a bath first, eat and rest."

Turning around, she reminded Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning to keep calm. Shen Chengyi's return didn't mean she could go on missions immediately. Some things couldn't be rushed.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning nodded obediently. The two sisters knew their eldest sister had worked hard for many days, and she definitely needed to rest first after returning. They thought about it and simply ran to the kitchen to help.

Shen Yao:...

Looking at the kitchen, which was rather messy and becoming more of a hindrance the more they helped, Shen Yao helplessly waved them out. "Wait."

The food was soon ready. The aroma wafted out as the dishes were served. Shen Chengyi was drying her hair, wearing a set of pajamas often worn at home.

Seeing the food on the table, Shen Chengyi's eyes lit up. She loved home-cooked food the most; no matter the flavor, it was all her favorite.

Satisfied, she raised her bowl and chopsticks to pick up food, then ate it bite by bite, savoring it. Shen Chengyi couldn't help but narrow her eyes, thinking that her birth mother's cooking was getting better and better. Next time she went out, she must secretly store some in her space. Otherwise, in the wilderness with wind and rain lodging and crises everywhere, if she couldn't eat some delicious food to relieve her tense mood, accidents were likely to happen.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning also ate the delicious food on the table with Shen Chengyi. Originally, they weren't very hungry, but they couldn't resist Shen Yao's extraordinary cooking skills.

Thud

Putting down their bowls and chopsticks, the three rubbed their bellies, stood up, and went to sit on the sofa in the living room.

The sofa was an item they had bought from others with points. The cost wasn't expensive; the trouble was exchanging some supplies.

Fortunately, the space currently lacked nothing. Nowadays, even if all four of them completely lay flat and goofed off, they could live well for three to five years. The home was arranged everywhere according to their taste. In the short term, there wouldn't be any changes here.

"First tell me your plans, then tell me about what happened during this period," Shen Chengyi said, turning her body slightly, her head leaning slightly toward the window, the whole person very relaxed.

This was her most comfortable state. She only did this when at home, because home didn't make her feel dangerous. Even because of Shen Yao's presence, Shen Chengyi would feel a sense of security.

Others (Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning) didn't understand Shen Yao's power, but as Shen Yao's eldest daughter, Shen Chengyi had always known best how formidable Shen Yao was.

She wasn't a little girl who knew nothing. As a child born with knowledge, Shen Chengyi had communicated frankly with Shen Yao from a very young age. Over these many years, they had gotten along very well as mother and daughter, not entirely because of the grace of giving birth and raising, but more because both had achieved mutual acceptance, with no awkwardness in their hearts.

What plans did Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning have? Their biggest plan was nothing more than improving their abilities to get more Evolution Potions in the Shelter.

Evolution Potions could only be purchased through official channels. Joining the Official was their strategy.

"There's nothing major inside the Shelter. It's just that some ability users are causing trouble and affecting the safety of the Residential Area. The Shelter plans to step in and manage it."

It's just that the method of management was somewhat rigid and involved personal privacy. If not handled well, it could easily blow up.

"Eldest sister, we are now with Sister Xuanxuan," Shen Chengning added. "Sister Xuanxuan and the others are very good. It's just that their combat power is somewhat lacking. Compared to offense, they lean more toward defense."

"And also, the Official's recruitment notices have changed several batches. It's heard they will continue. The treatment aspect will also be adjusted."

「……」

Blah blah blah, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had plenty of channels for information sources; once they started talking, they simply couldn't stop.

Shen Chengyi didn't rush to interrupt them, only sitting quietly on the sofa listening.

Only after Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning finished everything they wanted to say did Shen Chengyi lower the arm draped over herself, stand up, and wave at the two of them, "Let me look at your aggressiveness with your abilities; release your abilities directly at me, don't hold back."

Shen Chengyi was confident enough; not to mention that Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning were merely Kamilla now, even if they were geniuses progressing rapidly, it would still be very difficult for them to hurt her with their water and wood abilities.

After hearing this, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning exchanged glances; they were both eager to give it a try.

After all, attacking the eldest sister had happened before, but they were no match for Shen Chengyi; not being crushed by her was Shen Chengyi saving face.

"Eldest Sister, I'm attacking."

"Come on."

As the words fell, a green vine instantly arrived before Shen Chengyi; she turned her head to dodge, and a blue water wave was right before her eyes.

Shen Chengyi nodded in satisfaction; not bad, these two knew how to cooperate with each other, showing they understood the shortcomings of water and wood abilities.

Dodging the two's attacks in two or three moves, Shen Chengyi didn't even lift a hand, merely swaying her body to evade the whole time, causing Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning's psychological pressure to skyrocket; they didn't let Shen Chengyi walk more than a few steps.

Only after Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning first exhausted all the abilities within their bodies did Shen Chengyi wave her hand to stop, signaling the testing was over; she had already fully understood Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning's ability levels.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning: ……

All said and done, they just weren't talented enough; when would they be able to do what Eldest Sister did, shattering obstacles with a single bolt of thunder in casual conversation, slaying gods who block gods and Buddhas who block Buddhas?

"I'll handle the training arrangements; you two just improve your abilities in the Shelter, and don't meddle in anything else," Shen Chengyi said, then mentioned that the Official Shelter might undergo some changes recently—not bad changes, but ones that would make the Shelter more standardized.

Of course, in such a process, there would inevitably be people accidentally injured; Shen Chengyi said this to remind the three people at home to be extra careful in their daily words and deeds. Although she believed no one dared to scheme against them, that couldn't guarantee certain people wouldn't suddenly lose their senses or not understand the situation, accidentally framing others and themselves.

"Eldest Sister, rest assured, we're all well-behaved," unless the other side repeatedly provoked and made trouble, they definitely wouldn't attack.

Shen Chengyu raised a finger; unfortunately, her reputation was far from enough. Shen Chengyi turned to look at Shen Yao, and only after receiving Shen Yao's nod did she exhale, rub Shen Chengyu's head to make her behave, "I know your temper," which was why she had to give extra warnings.

Shen Chengyu: ……Hehe

Shen Chengyi turned back into the room to sleep; this sleep, when she opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

There was no one else in the room; Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had already gone to the Ability User Center to train, Shen Yao had gone to the supermarket downstairs to shop, Shen Chengyi stood up and came to the window side of the Living Room, walked to the Balcony and looked down.

The good view from the high-level Building was revealed; Shen Yao saw the myriad aspects of the Wedding Guests downstairs—elders with children, young people pulling and tugging, middle-aged people arguing with each other. She pushed open the Balcony Window, and along with the Wind from Outside came various tones.

Hoo

Suddenly returning from the wild to the Shelter, Shen Chengyi urgently wanted to soak up some Popularity; after all, the danger of missions Outside was great, even those with firm minds would occasionally collapse, let alone Ability Users who were transformed from Ordinary People, some still retaining their naivety from before the End of Days.

The Satellite Phone she had casually tossed on the Sofa rang.

Shen Chengyi turned her head to look, then walked over, picked up the phone, and answered.

As expected, it was an Official staff member on the other end, asking about the previous Mission. When Shen Chengyi returned yesterday, she had gone to the Mission Hall, but at that time she was indeed too tired, so the staff member hadn't asked too much; now they called only after Shen Chengyi had rested.

"……That's right, only the three of us; the rest couldn't make it out.

It's very dangerous; Outside there are either Mutated Animals or Mutated Plants, and they're more cunning than Wood Puppets.

……If this Mission still needs to be carried out, I suggest dividing into small groups; perhaps many Ability Users could Survive."

Too many people make a big target; they were watched before even reaching the destination, and afterward most became food on the plates of animals and plants.

Shen Chengyi couldn't help but recall how she had escaped back then.

Oh

It was largely thanks to her mother; Shen Yao had given her many Good Things before she left. She had no idea where Shen Yao got them (they were actually products from various worlds), but these things were surprisingly useful, helping her smoothly dodge many Deadly crises.

The train of thought disappeared with the phone hanging up; Shen Chengyi sighed silently without a word, had no mood to stay on the Balcony anymore, and simply went back into the room to continue sleeping.

A full Three Days; since returning, Shen Chengyi hadn't stepped out of the Room once. Fortunately, the family understood; when she went out again, Shen Chengyi had already returned to normal.
