Half a minute later, the Bloodthirsty Swordsman and the Magnetic Knight, whose body was covered in magnets, were the first to arrive at the scene.

Looking at the huge, red, scorching pit, his face turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Are we late?"

"Damn black lobster monster! Is it trying to provoke us by hitting us and then running away?!" Magnet Knight cursed.

More and more B-level and A-level combatants are arriving around the crater.

In a neighborhood where no one noticed.

Lin Chengfeng left the Upper City District quietly.

...............

The news of Hyper Zetton's sudden arrival and annihilation of the Zhao family spread like wildfire throughout the city.

Ping An Building, Room 111.

Gu Wanxue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the mountain peaks lit by firelight—the ruins of the Zhao family.

"How exactly did that giant black lobster monster find Longyuan Base City? Its sudden appearance and annihilation of a family—was it simply an attempt to intimidate humanity?"

Gu Wanxue frowned.

The Longyuan base city is always in a mobile state, and even if it stops, it will not stay for more than four hours.

Because the base city is constantly moving, it is difficult for the monsters to pinpoint its coordinates.

"Could the giant black lobster monster be a product of that organization? Have they infiltrated Longyuan Base City?" Gu Wanxue's expression gradually became serious.

In my past life, there was an organization called the Emperor Organization.

They mastered the power to transform into monsters and chose the path of joining forces if they couldn't win.

To stand completely against humanity.

Even later on, Gu Wanxue's understanding of them remained superficial.

"I have to hurry up and get stronger. The pace of adventure in this life is much faster." Gu Wanxue slowly clenched her fist and said.

Then, she picked up her phone and texted Xia Qi: "Come with me to the association to register tomorrow. I'll take you out to get some nice stuff."

…………

Inside an old house in the Lower City District.

Lin Chengfeng ate his char siu boxed lunch while watching the evening news on TV.

"At 7:15 PM tonight, a giant black lobster monster, with a disaster level tentatively set at 'Dragon Level,' appeared at the Zhao Family Manor in the Upper District and wiped out the manor."

"The giant black lobster monster has now left, but the danger is not over. We urge all citizens to stay home and not go out unnecessarily."

Seeing this, Lin Chengfeng turned off the TV and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, they didn't trace it back to me."

"But... what kind of weird title is this giant black lobster monster? My name is Hyper Zetton, okay?!"

Lin Chengfeng was so angry that his handsome name was being called a country bumpkin's name that he wanted to rush into the TV station and report it.

"I currently have twelve evolution points in my pocket. I'll allocate five to the human host's physique for now, and leave the power aside for the time being, otherwise it might arouse suspicion."

"Keep the remaining evolution points for later use on Hyper Zetton."

Lin Chengfeng's research revealed that evolution points could only increase the numerical value of a human host; at most, the host would be stronger, but would be unable to use combat skills.

The combat skills of normal combatants are closely related to the monster cores they fuse with, as well as the weapons made from monster parts.

Lin Chengfeng is unable to fuse with the alien core. He possesses a meteorite blade left by his grandfather, which he can wield but cannot use as a combat technique.

If he wants to use combat skills, he must feed evolution points to Hyper Zetton.

Once a certain number are acquired, not only will new Hyper Zetton moves be unlocked, but the combat skills will also be fed back to the human host.

The five evolution points entered the body, first a feeling of heat, followed by a chilling sensation as if falling into an ice cave.

Faced with the dual sensations of ice and fire, Lin Chengfeng couldn't help but shiver.

Physical defense has increased slightly, but resistance to ice and fire has improved considerably.

"As expected, the first evolution point provides the greatest boost, and the boost decreases with each subsequent one. It seems that relying on accumulating evolution points to achieve physical immortality is not an easy path; I'll need to develop some combat skills as well!"

At this point, Lin Chengfeng opened his pocket and took out two wooden plaques.

A wooden plaque engraved with crossed swords and knives serves as the identification for a formal combatant.

Another wooden plaque is engraved with knives and pieces of flesh; this is the identification of an official autopsy specialist.

As for wood materials, that represents grade C.

Although Lin Chengfeng defeated Zhao Fengyun, a B-rank chicken, he did not register any different cores or weapons, nor did he have any physical data.

Therefore, initially only a Class C ID card could be given to him.

To upgrade, you need to go to the Hero Association headquarters to participate in the upgrade assessment.

"I remember the arena finals aren't until the day after tomorrow. I've got nothing else to do tomorrow anyway, and since I already have the identity token, I might as well go out for a stroll!"

…………

The next day.

The panic caused by the arrival of the giant black lobster last night has not yet subsided.

Lin Chengfeng took a car to the Hero Association building and listened to no fewer than hundreds of versions of the rumors.

Everyone is speculating about Hyper Zetton's true intentions in destroying the Zhao family.

But they never imagined that it was simply about clearing obstacles.

"Alas, it's a pity the Holy Fist Master isn't here. If he had been here last night, one punch from him would have turned the giant black lobster into a giant red lobster!"

"The fighter on the bus said angrily."

The car stopped at the station, and Lin Chengfeng got off and arrived at the entrance of the Hero Association Longyuan Base City Branch Building.

The area is bustling with people; combatants who want to conduct business outside must register here.

Lin Chengfeng followed the flow of people through the gate.

Many combatants recognized themselves.

"Look, it's that corpse dissecter who defeated Zhao Fengyun with two punches!"

"Shh! You want to get knocked out with two punches too? He has a name, I think it's Lin Chengfeng..."

Ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, Lin Chengfeng walked straight to an empty window and handed over his combatant ID card.

"I want to apply for a hunting trip," Lin Chengfeng said to the salesperson.

The salesperson glanced at the Class C combatant's ID card, then glanced at the empty space behind him.

He silently returned his wooden identification card: "Sorry, combatants must be accompanied by at least one autopsy specialist when going out."

Lin Chengfeng pulled out his Class C autopsy specialist ID card with his other hand. "Here it is. I am an autopsy specialist and combatant."

The salesperson's eyelids twitched involuntarily as he looked at the fingerprints of Lin Chengfeng on both ID cards.

Lin Chengfeng wasn't famous enough to be known throughout the city yet. Since he didn't pay attention to the preliminary rounds and spent his days working as a salesman, he naturally didn't know who he was.

The salesperson returned the two ID cards again: "Sorry, according to Article 114 of the new regulations, there must be two Class C combatants, and one autopsy specialist must be assigned to each of them before they can go out."

Lin Chengfeng was taken aback.

"What? When did this new regulation come about? I don't think it was mentioned in yesterday's announcement!!"

The salesperson pointed to a wall covered with white paper not far away and explained, "It was changed at seven o'clock this morning. You can go and take a look at the bulletin board over there."

Lin Chengfeng: ...

The association learned that a large number of low-level combatants wanted to team up one-on-one, and changed the rules temporarily to prevent them from getting into trouble.

Just as Lin Chengfeng was pondering whether to bring in a substitute to make up the numbers, a clear, cold female voice came from behind him.

"Can I team up with you to go out?"

"Um?"

Lin Chengfeng turned his head to look.

She was a girl with a high ponytail and a Longquan sword on her back.

Lin Chengfeng had some impression of her.

She shone brightly in the ring yesterday, but was ultimately defeated by a green-haired little girl.

"I remember your name is... Li Jianmei?" Lin Chengfeng asked.
