Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Newly risen high-rises sprang up like bamboo shoots after spring rain, firmly rooted in the area before them.

Since getting her new residence, Shen Yao rarely came out, basically staying at home; unless it was Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning's rest time, the three of them would go out together, but their destination was clear—around the residential area.

Here were all the venues needed for daily life; with enough points, one could live very well. Ambitious people existed, but they also needed matching abilities, and most people were still more willing to live a stable life.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning accompanied Shen Yao on a trip to a mall not far away—only five stories, but it contained all aspects of daily clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Although it couldn't compare to some big malls before the End of Days, the things inside were sufficient.

Shen Chengyu took a liking to a modified personal vehicle inside. Its energy source was not traditional electricity or oil, but energy converted from crystal cores. The benefit was that she could replace it herself without buying; the drawback was excessive consumption, worthy of being called a gold-devouring beast.

Shen Chengning glanced at her identity card, which showed their special point quota—the maximum limit they could spend.

Hmm

Although Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had earned money, they still fell short compared to Shen Chengyi. Also, as ability users, they needed daily potions to maintain bodily stability. Even if there were good things in their space, they could only be used privately; on the surface, they had to be like other ability users and not act too special.

"Second Sister, our money isn't enough," Shen Chengning said impolitely, flicking her identity card. Their combined special points could buy only four wheels of this vehicle.

Shen Chengyu:...

"Let me look first; next time I go on a mission," she would work hard to complete it and get extra remuneration.

Shen Chengning advised Shen Chengyu to give up this idea, because missions weren't fixed, and related remuneration wasn't certain. If their missions were relatively simple, the few points they accumulated were far from enough.

Shen Yao interjected at the right time, saying she could provide some help. The special points in her hands were family deposits; daily necessities were paid with points, and special points could be partially lent to Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning. "But you need to tell Chengyi."

The family deposit was merely held by Shen Yao on behalf; actually, these special points were earned by Shen Chengyi. The one spending money definitely had to ask the one giving money, even though with their relationship it really wasn't necessary to make such a fuss.

Shen Chengyu immediately contacted Shen Chengyi. Perhaps that side was busy; the communication equipment wasn't connected, but instead several messages were sent in succession.

Upon learning Shen Chengyu wanted to buy a personal vehicle, Shen Chengyi simply transferred a sum of special points over. Just looking at the long string of zeros behind the special points, one knew that relying on these, not only could they buy a personal vehicle, but also other things.

Shen Chengyu:...

It really wasn't her fault; who wouldn't be tempted seeing the eldest sister's generosity?

Shen Chengyu, with enough special points in hand, did not live up to her previous thoughts; she directly waved her hand and bought this personal vehicle. Not only that, she also generously bought other things, even buying some small gifts for Shen Chengyi, who wasn't present. Hehehe, they had to thank the sponsor.

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow. "Just right to test the strength of the personal vehicle." Official missions wouldn't always be in the name of a small team; occasionally there were individual arrangements.

With Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning's current abilities, they couldn't handle very profound missions, but ordinary small missions were still easy for them.

Shen Chengyu raised her hand. "Together, together." Speaking, she gestured for Shen Chengning and Shen Yao to get in the car, then had Shen Chengning search for doable missions on an app released by the Official. Actually, this was just the online version of the Mission Center; it was rather crude, but usable was enough.

The things bought were all placed in the car. The three sat inside and left the mall; Shen Chengyu headed clearly toward the doorway not far away.

They were going to leave the Shelter—a temporary decision that couldn't be more temporary. The reason for doing this was to test the sturdiness of the personal vehicle.

Shen Chengning recited a mission she had taken: responsible for clearing a forest occupied by mutated dodder. Because there were other plants needed by Shelters inside, these mutated dodder blocked the collection routes and needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Then let's go here," Shen Chengyu said, and the acceleration under her feet was maxed out directly.

Fortunately, the new Shelter had specially designed two modes: sidewalk and vehicle lane. Generally, there were fewer cars on the vehicle lane, so even if Shen Chengyu drove however fast, she wouldn't hit pedestrians crossing over.

Vroom

The car sound vanished in an instant. Others seeing it all had eyes full of envy, showing how powerful one had to be to own such a personal vehicle.

"Maybe there are connections at home," the speaker showed jealousy that was too obvious.

"Hey, maybe it's their own strong ability. You don't know the skills of those ability users?"

"What do I know? Just buying fame with money."

"..."

Shen Chengyu and the others had heard such words too many times. After all, the Shelter had plenty of people; basically no one cared what you wanted to say. Of course, if you really said it to the person's face, that was your own bad luck—some ability users had bad tempers.

Like a gust of wind, the personal vehicle left the Shelter. The destination was naturally that forest surrounded by mutated dodder.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had learned through the Official app about the dodder's abilities. That forest basically had no reason to remain; to prevent mutated dodder from making a comeback, they would burn everything around it.

Soon, they arrived at the location where mutated dodder gathered.

Parking the vehicle beneath them steadily, Shen Yao did not get out, but watched Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning cooperate with each other and fight in a tangle with that patch of mutated dodder blooming with small yellow flowers.

These mutated dodder were larger than before, with a wider area of effect. And any plant or animal entangled by mutated dodder would die silently; mutated dodder had evolved a numbing effect.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning each used their respective abilities in combination. Wood and water elements intertwined, giving the mutated dodder continuous attacks.

Shen Yao watched the entire forest move, as if it had come alive.

Occasionally, Shen Yao would also release her mental power to envelop the three of them, but for the vast majority of the time she just watched the situation develop. As long as it couldn't directly injure Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning, she would let it be.

Boom boom boom

Explosion sounds continuously came from among the dodder. These were energy bombs thrown by Shen Chengyu—energy balls compressed using her ability, thrown hard before exploding. This could both deal heavy damage to the enemy and provide herself a chance to escape or dodge.

"Hey, take a few more of mine."

After speaking, Shen Chengyu threw out the ability bomb she had quickly compressed in her hand. Shen Chengning did the same thing. Shen Yao wasn't very interested in this kind of ability bomb; mental ability leaned toward support and assassination, and this blasting style wasn't suitable.

Boom!

The mutated dodder in this area couldn't match Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning; the final outcome was naturally a sea of fire.

Fortunately, although the temperature rose at this time, it wasn't particularly hot. The temperature in the forest was still decent. As the fire before them spread, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning each ran a lap around the area to prevent the fire from crossing over. Otherwise, they wouldn't get the mission reward and would instead have to pay out of their own pockets.

"Done, work completion!"

Shen Chengyu cheered. Before leaving, she didn't forget to use her water ability to flood the entire area burned by fire.

Hmm

Shen Chengning was responsible for the finishing work. With the original plants and mutated dodder gone, this place couldn't be left to waste. Naturally, under the catalysis of a wood ability user, some plants underground sprouted tender shoots. It was believed that in not too long, this place would become a forest again, just like before, only without the existence of mutated dodder.

In less than a few hours, the three drove their modified vehicle back to the Shelter.

Shen Chengyu was very satisfied with the effect of using this personal vehicle. Although this car was really expensive, expensive had its benefits. They really didn't suffer at all along the way. It would be even better if the vehicle itself could provide functions similar to a restaurant or an RV.

"Space ability users are few in number; even the Shelter only has one," that little girl was protected three layers inside and three layers out, and the Laboratory even specially customized special Potions for her; all these attitudes showed that space is a very mysterious thing, "Unless evolution reaches its endpoint, the effect you're thinking of won't appear."

Shen Yao raised her hand and tapped Shen Chengyu, who was being absurd; the reason they have space is because of Shen Yao's special favor — actually Shen Chengyi and the other two are only using space temporarily; once the three of them die, the space will be reclaimed, because all of this is Shen Yao's property; even if Shen Yao explicitly gifts it, it won't work; this was already tested in the previous world.

Shen Chengyu didn't feel the least bit sad, just laughed and said the ability is still evolving; no one can predict what it will become in the future; maybe it really can, through evolution, bring all of humanity's technology to a higher level.

Shen Yao: ……

Actually technological progress doesn't have much to do with evolution; if humans couldn't evolve, technology might even advance a bit faster; but humans are also a link in evolution, tsk tsk tsk.

The transport vehicle stopped steadily downstairs; Shen Yao got out of the car, carrying the various items they had bought back from the Mall earlier; daily necessities accounted for the largest proportion, the rest were some tools, matching Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning's identities; Official Ability Users are mostly managed by the Official side, but for some things with high consumption, the Official side won't play the sucker either.

So occasionally Ability Users still need to pay out of pocket; it's just that this proportion isn't very high; most of the corresponding expenses are still borne by the Official side.

Taking the Elevator back to the fiftieth floor, the three of them ran head-on into a bloody incident.

Shen Chengning raised her hand to block a middle-aged man, then lowered her head to look at the woman who had already fainted; "Killing someone here is illegal."

The middle-aged man obviously had a bad temper; he ignored Shen Chengning's blocking; he wanted to pull his arm back, but discovered that no matter how hard he exerted himself he couldn't succeed.

Middle-aged man: ……?!!!

The man is an Ability User, and a strength-enhanced Ability User at that; so he eagerly used his ability, but the result was still the same as before.

Shen Chengning stared at the man before her with a pair of dark eyes; Shen Chengyu beside her stepped forward and, by the way, took out her credentials — the card used to prove their identity; the few words "Official Ability User" were enough to make the middle-aged man yield.

Looking with some wariness at the two meddlesome women he could do nothing about, the middle-aged man bypassed the crowd and went straight downstairs.

The woman lying on the ground was already unconscious; the three of them aren't healing-type Ability Users, so they decisively contacted the nearby Enforcement Team by phone; only after the person was sent away did they enter the Home.

"Even here this kind of thing can't be avoided," Shen Chengning frowned, not understanding why it would be so.

"Many people, few resources, great survival pressure," they don't dare face Mutant Creatures, but against the weak who have no power to resist they find courage.

Shen Yao has always stayed at Home and doesn't go out much, but her ears are sharp; just on this floor there have been no fewer than several incidents like the one just now; the reasons are strange and varied, but without exception the ones harmed are Ordinary People without self-preservation ability.

After Shen Yao finished speaking, she sent the bought items to the Kitchen to preserve; the things Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning needed they carried back to their Rooms themselves.

Lunch at Home was simple — just some dishes prepared in advance in the space; Shen Yao casually picked two and brought them out, at the same time signaling that if Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning didn't like them they could switch to other flavors.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning aren't picky; basically they eat whatever Home makes; this period's Missions have left them without even the qualification to be fussy.

The original afternoon Arrangement was rest; but not long after finishing the meal, the communication device suddenly emitted an urgent alarm; Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning were temporarily called away on a Mission; the hard-won Rest Period was voided.

The modified vehicle parked downstairs went on a Mission with Shen Chengyu, this new Owner; and this Mission didn't end until the morning three days later.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning appeared at Home with two black eyes; with them was Shen Chengyi, whose condition was much better than the two of them.

Shen Yao served the pre-prepared dishes; her gaze swept over the three faces, and finally she revealed a smile; "As long as you're back safe."

Thanks to the System's chatter, Shen Yao already knew early on what they had encountered — a sudden Mutant Creature swarm attack; their target was this very Shelter packed with quite a few people.

Shen Chengyi hasn't returned Home this whole period; one, because her Mission is heavier; two, because the Official side is too short on manpower; three, at the Key moment, Shen Chengyi wanted to seize the chance to break through herself.

"Still fairly smooth; the Shelter's losses aren't large," the Official side has long had different types of Emergency Plans; although they didn't detect the signal of this sudden Mutant Creature gathering, fortunately after learning the news their Reaction was Timely, avoiding more Casualties and property loss.

Shen Chengyi took this opportunity to advance her Capability a step further.
