Main Character:

Shen Yao

Shen Chengyi does not allow herself to be fragile; even if she is, it is only temporary — when the time comes, she will still be that powerful Shen Chengyi.

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit."

Shen Chengyi changed her clothes, and before leaving she told Shen Yao, who was sitting on the sofa; she had stayed at home long enough, it was time to plan the next step.

Shen Yao gave an "mm" and nodded, "Don't rush, contact me anytime if anything comes up."

Although Shen Chengyi is not the most casual person most of the time, the necessary reminder was still given properly.

Among the three children, Shen Yao values Shen Chengyi the most; correspondingly, Shen Chengyi has to shoulder and face more — this is an affirmation of her ability, and also a test of her strength.

At the current stage, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning are still too immature compared to Shen Chengyi; it is not that the two of them are not excellent enough, but their growth speed is too slow — catching up to Shen Chengyi will still take time.

Click—

The door opened and closed again; Shen Chengyi went downstairs from the residence along the stairs.

The floors here are packed with people, many of whom have some connection to the Official side; even some of the colleagues who executed the mission with her this time live in this building — pity their luck was bad, they couldn't make it back.

Speaking of it, this mission was very difficult; from the moment they Answered they had prepared for the possibility of not returning, but when the day truly arrived, most people could not accept it — Shen Chengyi can still recall the initial chaos to this day, complete and utter mutual slaughter.

Perhaps she should pull together a team, a team led and controlled by her, rather than borrowing the Official's shell and finding colleagues who each have their own agendas and would drag her down.

Shen Chengyi pondered as she walked; by the time she arrived at the Ability User Center it was exactly 9 o'clock.

The First Floor Lobby was still deserted, with only a few staff members chatting aimlessly; they all have Official backgrounds, working here merely to kill time — they don't even look up to that bit of salary.

Without even glancing at the entering Shen Chengyi, the staff loudly discussed who had become an Ability User again, and a very rare Wind-type at that; who's ability had evolved again, able to kill with a wave of the hand.

The number of Ability Users within the entire Shelter range is pitifully few; once some powerful, high-potential Ability Users appear, they will be discussed for a long time.

Shen Chengyi was the same back then; it's just that Shen Chengyi likes to keep a low profile, putting more of her time into the Mission Hall side, causing the Ability User Center to only know her by name but never see her person.

Going upstairs via the stairs beside the Ability User Center, Shen Chengyi saw Chen Xuanxuan who was bored.

"Chengyi"

Shen Chengyi smiled and nodded; before she could open her mouth to ask about Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning, she heard Chen Xuanxuan say the two of them were sparring in the training room inside the second floor; although her team doesn't have many who can fight, their ability awakening times are all earlier than Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning's, so relying on abilities to contest each other can still play a role in improvement.

"Worthy of being your younger sisters, they both have great talent."

Chen Xuanxuan sighed with emotion; back then the two of them joined the Official one after another, and awakened abilities one after another, yet now their development is worlds apart.

The root cause is ultimately that the personality gap between the two sides is too large; Chen Xuanxuan and Shen Chengyi are two types of people — one likes stability, one likes risk.

"Becoming an Ability User, everyone has talent," it's not that drinking an Evolution Potion makes you an Ability User — most of them end up losing both the wife and the soldiers.

Chen Xuanxuan thought about it, and indeed that was the logic; the Evolution Potion is not as miraculous as imagined — the Ability Users appearing at the Ability User Center nowadays, more or less, can all be called geniuses.

Shen Chengyi came over with her own purpose; after exchanging only a couple of sentences with Chen Xuanxuan, she turned to find the Ability User Center's Person in Charge.

Arriving at the innermost room on the second floor, she raised her hand and knocked on the tightly closed door; Shen Chengyi pushed the door in and called out to the woman sitting in the office chair, "Director Yuan"

Yuan Chunyan, the Person in Charge of the Ability User Center, also concurrently handles the work next door at the Mission Hall.

"It's Chengyi, come sit quickly," Yuan Chunyan was busy with the documents in her hand; seeing Shen Chengyi enter she hurriedly stood up, moving her own body while not forgetting to pour a cup of warm tea for the other party.

Shen Chengyi sat down, then took out a sheet of paper from her pocket and handed it to Yuan Chunyan, "This is the full account of the mission; what could be said before has already been said."

The implication: looking for her again would be of no use — after all, how many people survived and returned? She didn't lie; asking further would just waste time.

Yuan Chunyan took the paper and unfolded it, but after only a moment she placed the paper back down and pressed it under the documents.

She did not ask about matters concerning the mission, but first observed Shen Chengyi's condition, then asked with a concerned tone, "Do you need more time?"

Generally, Ability Users who return from missions rest for a period before working again; Shen Chengyi is a rather special one among them — her ability is strong and her mindset stable, basically able to go on missions continuously without pause.

Long before Shen Chengyi had even returned, the next mission had already been prepared, just waiting for her to hand over the current mission and leave again.

This time was the same; only no one expected it would be this tragic.

"Really didn't expect it? Those mutated plants and animals didn't just pop up now."

Shen Chengyi sneered; she doesn't think the Official did wrong, but some pots can't be shoved off like that — those dead Ability Users didn't all deserve to die.

Yuan Chunyan sighed, "This was a situation the Official did not anticipate; please trust the Official's credibility.

The corresponding compensation for this time has already been fully paid, including the later rewards; Chengyi, I know you're feeling bad right now, rest well for a while, the upcoming missions aren't urgent."

Shen Chengyi: ……

"I want to form a team of my own, a team completely led by me," Shen Chengyi gazed straight at Yuan Chunyan, "Outside is too dangerous, I can't handle it alone; if not for good luck this time, you probably wouldn't be seeing me."

Shen Chengyi exhaled deeply, various complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

In Yuan Chunyan's view, this was Shen Chengyi being frightened by this mission's outcome; the overly tragic degree also made Shen Chengyi feel fear.

Yuan Chunyan felt it was all understandable; otherwise wouldn't Shen Chengyi be too perverse? Shen Chengyi isn't that old either, not yet twenty.

Smiling, she let Shen Chengyi rest a while longer; as for the team formation Shen Chengyi wanted, although Yuan Chunyan said she wasn't quite at ease, she still agreed verbally — talent can't be let go like this; moreover, words spoken are just words spoken, by the time the team is pulled together it will still take time, and then she can still hint indirectly.

Plan one step, look three steps; Yuan Chunyan set this matter down in just a moment.

Shen Chengyi knows Yuan Chunyan's true thoughts without needing more words, but she also knows she absolutely won't let Yuan Chunyan interfere in the team-building matter.

Since she agreed for now, whatever she does next will have justification.

Standing up and bidding farewell to Yuan Chunyan, Shen Chengyi cited having other matters, turned and left the room.

After Shen Chengyi left, Yuan Chunyan then took out the paper pressed under the documents; the content differed little from the previous phone inquiry — the only few discrepancies were in the time of the mass deaths of Ability Users; just how did Shen Chengyi dodge past that?

Wolves in front, tigers behind — this is clearly a dead end where no one survives.

Yuan Chunyan put down her palm, then dialed the internal line phone beside her, and through the Mission Hall staff obtained the oral accounts of the other few survivors; Yuan Chunyan's heart grew more and more excited.

Shen Chengyi!

Shen Chengyi, who had already left the room, naturally didn't know Yuan Chunyan's thoughts; but even if Yuan Chunyan wanted to make a move on her, she wouldn't be afraid.

Besides her family, everyone who knew her secret was unable to speak; Yuan Chunyan truly dared to scheme against her in ignorance of death, so the consequences that appeared would also be borne by her alone.

On the second floor of the Ability User Center, there were quite a few training rooms; the users of these training rooms were all Official Ability Users, because the equipment inside the training rooms was made of the most advanced materials, the destructive capability of abilities was relatively limited, and the level and effect of abilities could be tested to the maximum extent.

Not everyone dared to go out and fight desperately with those dangerous species in the wild; some people preferred to stay inside the Shelter, and even if their abilities were extremely top-tier, they could not unleash much effect.

Shen Chengyi arrived at the training room she often practiced in, entering by swiping her Ability Card.

With a ding sound, the glass door before her slid open, revealing the spacious interior and silver-white walls.

In the corner of the wall was a display screen; various data appeared on the screen, and Shen Chengyi could debug the entire training room through the data, including temperature, humidity, air, and other conditions.

The lightning ability worked better when used in overcast rainy weather, especially during rainstorms, the lightning ability would be strengthened; switched to clear sunny weather, the lightning ability would be suppressed; what Shen Chengyi was practicing right now was the lower limit of her ability.

She raised the temperature and dryness of the entire space, and even simulated a false sun hanging on the ceiling; after all, the training room was fully enclosed, there were no windows inside, and the outside could not be seen at all.

As the buzzing sound of machines rang out, Shen Chengyi felt changes occurring in her body.

Sweat drops appeared on her skin due to the scorching heat, and her dry clothes became soaking wet.

Shen Chengyi stared unblinkingly as she flicked her fingers, and streaks of purple lightning appeared out of thin air, bang bang bang smashing into the ground and the surrounding walls.

Perhaps because Shen Chengyi's capability was too strong, even while bearing various buffs unsuited to the lightning ability, she could train for two hours straight without stopping.

The sweat drops on her body were evaporated by the high heat, her clothes constantly shifting between dry and wet; accompanied by the final bolt of lightning as thick as a wrist striking the ground, like a long dragon detonating the surroundings, Shen Chengyi silently exhaled, released her strength, and knelt directly on the ground.

Tired!

Two hours of uninterrupted use of the lightning ability, even for Shen Chengyi, was hard to bear; during the process, her lightning ability bottomed out several times, and in the end it was all thanks to Shen Chengyi's extraordinary willpower that she pulled through.

Spreading both hands flat on the ground, Shen Chengyi closed her eyes, not wanting to speak.

After about ten minutes passed, her originally sore and swollen body returned to normal as her ability recovered; Shen Chengyi opened her eyes and sat up from the ground.

She had rented a total of two and a half hours this time, and there was still a little time left; she raised her head to look at the electrified room — aside from some pitch-black corners, the other surrounding places had not changed much; Shen Chengyi couldn't help but frown, tsk, it seemed her ability improvement was still not rapid enough; the Evolution Potion could not be cut off; Evolution Crystal, or rather switch to the crystal cores inside the bodies of mutated plants and animals.

The energy of Evolution Crystals was too violent, unsuitable for direct absorption; comparatively speaking, the crystal cores at the hearts of mutated plants and animals were milder, stronger in effect than the Official Evolution Potion, yet not as violent as Evolution Crystals; the only difficulty was that mutated plants and animals were hard to deal with, and obtaining crystal cores was extremely difficult.

Shen Chengyi had been out on missions for so long, yet she only had three crystal cores in hand; two of them had long been consumed in the wild to preserve her life, and the remaining one had been kept as a trump card and never used up.

Sigh, it seemed forming a team was imminent; only by possessing power belonging solely to her could she hunt more crystal cores in the wild.

Slowly climbing up from the ground, Shen Chengyi casually patted her body with a raised hand, then turned and left this training room.

Returning to her Residence along the road she came, when Shen Chengyi arrived home she seized the time to take a shower; when she went out again, she ran into Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning entering with faces full of sweat.

The two sisters mentioned Chen Xuanxuan the moment they opened their mouths: "Sister Xuanxuan said Eldest Sister is also on the second floor."

"Mm, went to handle a matter, and practiced ability for two hours," Shen Chengyi turned her head to make way for them, "Go wash up."

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning went to the bathroom one after another; because Shen Yao was not home when Shen Chengyi returned, she walked to the Kitchen herself to check the Refrigerator, but in the end still chose to take from her space.

"Wow, all ingredients, eating hot pot?"

"Eat then, just right we have Seasoning at home, Mom went to the Supermarket downstairs and will be back soon."

The several sisters simply brought out the hot pot, poured water and hot pot base inside, and beside it were boxes of sealed meat slices still emitting cold air.

When Shen Yao entered, she smelled a rich, overbearing beef tallow fragrance; she raised her hand and shook the Vegetables she brought back, directly washed them clean and plated them on the table.

The Balcony's Window was opened, and the overbearing fragrance drifted out along the air, provoking the Neighbors living around to complain enviously one after another; eating hot pot at this time, truly extravagant.

"Comfortable! If only we could eat like this after every training session, that would be even better."

Shen Chengyu patted her stuffed belly with satisfaction, her eyes half-narrowed, looking exactly like a little kitten licking melon seeds.

"Yeah, training is really tiring," just the consumption of the two of them was extremely terrifying, their clothes never had a dry moment; fortunately their abilities progressed rapidly, worth celebrating.

"I want to form a team, you two, want to give it a try?"

Shen Chengyi spoke out her idea, while also laying out her difficulties; the matter of crystal cores the family knew clearly; right now Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning didn't need them yet, but later when ability improvement slowed, sooner or later they would still set their sights on crystal cores.
