The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

night.

Ning Du slept alone in the room, listening to the pattering rain and the refreshing breeze outside the window.

The room has everything you could need, even better than a hotel.

The other students should all be full and asleep, waiting for the competition to begin.

Ning Du, however, was a little too excited and couldn't sleep, so he simply started to organize his abilities.

After several months of study, Ning Du felt that his World Power had reached around 75.

Of course, no one else knew about this except him.

He also intentionally concealed this matter, after all, it involved the core of the world.

You have to understand, in this world, people would try to scam him for just five thousand dollars. If others really found out he possessed the core of the world, Ning Du estimated he'd be torn into at least one hundred and eight pieces.

Furthermore, the matter of fighting in the subspace and gaining world power is best left unsaid.

The later it's revealed, the better for him. Even if he dies one day in a warp battle, that's still true.

Because he could no longer give up such "benefits".

There is a fifth way to quickly acquire world power, which is extremely important.

He was all alone, powerless, penniless, and this might be his only chance to rise above others.

Since God has given him this opportunity, he will seize it and never give up or falter!

Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.

Ningdu began to activate his own world core.

After several months of research, he has begun to grasp the core principles of its use.

First of all, the World Core can help him fully utilize the power of the world.

He can become as powerful as the amount of world power he possesses.

This is undoubtedly the most basic and useful enhancement for a "shapeshifter".

Otherwise, if the fighting happens randomly, even if you have 100 world power, you can only transform into something with 20 world power. In that case, you will really die without a burial place.

This is also why most shapeshifters without a world core are completely powerless.

Ning Du has almost figured this out.

Next is the second point.

The World Core can effectively record things he has transformed into.

Furthermore, the stronger the feeling and the longer the transformation lasts, the more likely it is to be used for a second transformation.

Of course, this is on the premise that his global power needs to grow significantly.

Ning Du secretly tried it out during his vacation. He can only truly return to the first few of the things he transformed into.

The reason is probably that the world's power has not grown enough. As the world strengthens further in the future, he should be able to control more transformations.

Although both are weakened transformations, being able to control them is progress.

The most important thing about transformation ability is control.

The third point is the combination transformation.

This is the key point that Ningdu has been secretly training on recently.

The World Core granted him abilities that ordinary shapeshifters could never possess.

That is, during the transformation, you can also combine and create things.

Just like that day, his left hand turned into a microphone, and his right hand into a speaker.

At the time, no one thought anything was wrong; they simply assumed that his transformation ability was growing.

But in reality, if other shapeshifters saw this, they would exclaim "Holy crap!" and kneel down, shouting "My king!"

Ning Du was also slow to realize that something was wrong.

After searching extensively online, he finally confirmed that this ability was definitely the shapeshifter's ultimate killing move.

Once mastered, it becomes the ultimate killing technique; at that point, he alone could become a killer capable of taking three thousand lives...

Okay, how about we change it to something more useful?

After adjusting his breathing, Ningdu circulated the power of the world and began to precisely control the changes in his fingers.

He can now barely manage to turn two fingers into two different things, such as turning his left finger into a knife and his right finger into a fork.

Alternatively, you could make your left finger into a small cup and your right finger into a small pot.

Although a set of moves may appear repeatedly, take it slow. One day, all ten fingers will change together, creating ten brothers. Wouldn't that be invincible?

"Transform!"

With a soft shout, Ning Du's left finger transformed into a charging plug.

The world's power shifts to the right hand again, change!

The next moment, the middle finger of his right hand also grew larger, turning into a socket.

What kind of combination is this?

Are you trying to electrocute yourself?

The transformations these days are getting weirder and weirder!

Taking out the recording crystal given to him by Teacher Qin, Ning Du began to summarize and record his training for the day.

This includes feeling and controlling the changes, identifying areas that aren't quite right, areas that need improvement, and areas where you should try different methods.

A bad pen is worse than a good memory. When it comes to learning, there is no other way but to persevere.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The game officially begins!

After two days of rest, the students were all full of energy and seemed ready to kick any tree they saw.

I heard the loudspeakers in the Guardian Building blaring through every room early this morning.

Led by their teacher, everyone immediately headed to the 888th floor of the Guardian Tower.

As everyone set off, Teacher Qin counted everyone's heads and told them to stand tall and prepare for battle.

Squeezing into the elevator and climbing to the upper floors, the white clouds seemed to be below you, and the vast Jiangshou City was laid out before you, truly giving you a sense of expansiveness and boundless joy.

Upon arrival, they discovered that the 888th floor was actually a huge plaza.

It's big enough to hold hundreds of thousands of people!

In the middle of the square, several guardians stood beside a black machine, the nature of which was unknown.

Inside the private box directly above the square, there were several hosts from a provincial television station, and various cameras hovered in the air like birds.

Only now did Ning Du realize exactly how many people participated in the Hundred Cities League.

As far as the eye can see, there are heads everywhere.

Everyone stood in the pre-drawn squares, and Teacher Qin went to sign them.

Once everyone was nearly assembled, a large head with a mustache suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls. He announced in an excited voice, "Welcome to the Hundred Cities League! All participants are in position. Today's competition will be unlike any other; it will be tense, exciting, adventurous, and challenging. Now, please remove your equipment. For the first match, you are not allowed to bring anything other than your own personal belongings!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a guardian raised his hand and waved it. Instantly, countless small birds with white wings came to everyone's side and carried away all their belongings.

Not giving it to the bird wasn't an option; the bird would make a "warning, warning" sound. Clearly, too many warnings would result in being expelled from the competition, so the teacher nearby quickly came to help, getting the bird to take the equipment away.

After everyone's equipment was removed, Big Head continued, "Alright, all participants' equipment has been removed. Therefore, I hereby announce that the first competition is wilderness survival! Teams of four will be randomly selected to enter a deserted wilderness. Show your wisdom and willpower, and complete this survival journey!"
