Freeze the entire population, activate my Superman system?

That night, perhaps due to excessive energy expenditure, Ling Shuang slept exceptionally soundly.

He was woken up by the walkie-talkie.

Jiang Xiaobei's voice came from inside, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Brother Ling! Those night ghosts are still up to their old tricks, they're launching another sneak attack."

Arrow Tower and Uncle Zhao teamed up to take down a Night Demon! Come and see!

Ling Shuang sat up, and a layer of scales on her left arm surfaced as if in response.

He glanced at Zhang Mu, who was still snoring beside him, but didn't wake him. He picked up the alloy rod and walked out.

When he arrived at the artificial lake, the scene was much more complicated than he had expected.

Beside the artificial lake, beneath the arrow tower, two groups of people were locked in a standoff, weapons at their sides!

On one side were several lords, led by the brothers Liu Wei and Liu Yu, about seven or eight people, standing below the arrow tower.

Liu Wei was still holding something in his hand, his face flushed.

On the other side was Zhao Tiejun, with four or five homeowners standing behind him, including Su Wan, who was still clutching the recurve bow in her hand, her knuckles white.

Zhao Tiejun himself stood in front of the Night Demon's corpse, his crossbow slung across his shoulder. Although he didn't raise it, his posture said it all.

"Zhao Tiejun, what do you mean?" Liu Wei's voice was extremely angry. "This Night Demon was killed by the arrow tower, so the body is naturally mine!"

"You? Young man?" Zhao Tiejun sneered, pointing to the crossbow bolts at his feet.

"Look closely, the most crucial thing is the arrow that Xiao Su used to pin down its foot."

Then it was my crossbow bolt that hit it first, embedding itself in its chest.

Your arrow tower is too bulky; it only fired one arrow.

Based on merit, we should have been first.

"You think your lousy crossbow can kill a Night Demon? If it weren't for the tower's final strike, it would have broken free and escaped long ago!"

The two became increasingly agitated as they spoke, and their supporters behind them joined in the cheering.

Guo Yueshan hasn't arrived yet; he must be sleeping too soundly.

Ling Shuang frowned and walked over quickly.

He glanced at the Night Demon corpse on the ground; it was indeed a juvenile.

It was about 1.6 meters tall, and its head had been pierced by a crossbow bolt from the arrow tower, leaving a large hole in it, with black slime flowing all over the ground.

A crossbow bolt was embedded in his chest, the shaft piercing right through him.

"What happened?" Ling Shuang asked.

The crowd parted to make way for him, but no one answered him.

Liu Wei glanced at Ling Shuang, his expression complex.

There was jealousy, resentment, and an inexplicable sense of vigilance.

It seemed they were afraid Ling Shuang would try to snatch it again.

In close combat, he's no match for him.

Zhao Tiejun was quite direct, saying, "Xiao Ling, you've come at just the right time."

You be the judge, I shot the ghost first, but Liu Wei insisted on taking the body.

I just want to know, why should he own this body?

Liu Wei immediately retorted: "The arrow tower's final blow was fatal, and the system determined that I was the one who killed it, so I also gained achievement points."

"So what?" Zhao Tiejun retorted, "Without my crossbow, can your arrow tower kill it with a single arrow?"

"Without my arrow tower threatening to scare away the other Night Demons, would you dare to go into the water alone to retrieve corpses?"

The two started arguing again.

Ling Shuang didn't rush to speak. He squatted down and carefully examined the corpse of the Night Demon.

His skull was pierced by the crossbow bolts from the arrow tower, and his skull cavity was almost shattered.

But he noticed a faint white light flickering in the gaps between the shattered skull.

Crystal.

Inside the skull of this night demon was a crystal.

Just like the ones Ling Shuang absorbed before, they were perfect white crystals.

His heart suddenly began to pound wildly.

Crystals symbolize power.

A wicked thought welled up from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Guo Yueshan arrived, panting heavily.

"What are you all doing! What are you all doing!" He pushed his way through the crowd, his face ashen. "First thing in the morning, you're fighting amongst yourselves?"

"Director Guo, you be the judge," Liu Wei spoke up first. "The arrow tower is mine, and the system has determined that I killed it, so the body should belong to me."

Zhao Tiejun is insisting on stopping us from moving in; what's the logic behind that?

"You—" Zhao Tiejun was about to speak when Guo Yueshan raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't argue yet." Guo Yueshan looked at the two groups of people, then at the corpse of the Night Demon on the ground, and sighed. "The management office will handle the matter of the corpse."

If you keep arguing like this, nothing will get done.

He turned to Ling Shuang: "Manager Ling, what's your opinion?"

Ling Shuang remained silent for a moment.

He certainly knew what was inside the Night Demon's corpse. That crystal meant power to him, but what about to Liu Wei?

What can a lord obtain from crystals?

But he didn't show it, and just calmly said, "The two night demons ran away, and now there's only this one corpse."

Let the management office handle the allocation.

He really wanted to take it by force.

But I suppressed the thought.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei and Zhao Tiejun both looked at Guo Yueshan, their eyes flickering slightly.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Guo Kuoshan felt a slight headache.

"Why are you fighting over a corpse? To hang it up as a specimen?"

Liu Wei spoke first, "Hehe, didn't Manager Ling get something from the corpse of a mutated animal, and then he was able to kill Night Demons with his bare hands?"

There must be something even better inside that night demon's corpse!

As soon as she said that, Ling Shuang instantly became the focus of the entire room.

The crowd's eyes lit up.

Liu Wei paused, still wary of Ling Shuang, and lowered his voice, "I'm not targeting you, Brother Ling."

But everyone has to survive. If there's something in the corpses that can make people stronger, then so can we!

This is a very blunt statement, and also a dangerous one.

Liu Wei's words effectively put Ling Shuang on the opposite side of everyone.

"So what do you think I'm hiding?" Ling Shuang's voice was calm.

"It's not about concealing, it's...sharing." Liu Wei gritted his teeth.

"Didn't the management office say that all resources will be allocated uniformly?"

"Ling Shuang, what you absorbed, wouldn't you consider those things as resources?"

Zhao Tiejun then sided with Ling Shuang, saying, "Liu Wei, stop talking nonsense."

"When Manager Ling was killing Night Demon, you were still huddled in bed. Why should you get anything he earned with his life?"

"I didn't say he couldn't take it! I meant..."

Forget about you all, I just want this corpse.

"The last one killed by the arrow tower belongs to me; it's only right."

Just as another argument was about to break out, Guo Yueshan suddenly clapped his hands.

"That's enough!"

Everyone fell silent.

Guo Yueshan took a deep breath and made a decision: "The body belongs to Liu Wei. But—"

He looked at Zhao Tiejun and said, "Next time, if you can kill a Night Demon with the arrow tower, the first Night Demon corpse is yours."

Zhao Tiejun's face was grim, but he didn't argue any further.

He knew Guo Yueshan was trying to smooth things over, but it was better than no promise at all.

Liu Wei was overjoyed and immediately ordered Liu Yu and several other lords to move the Night Demon's corpse away.

He bypassed Zhao Tiejun and walked to the side of the Night Demon's corpse.

He crouched down, reached into the shattered skull, and touched the cold crystal.

Liu Wei's eyes lit up instantly, staring intently at the white crystal.

"As expected, there is something that can make people evolve."

He held the crystal in his hand, imagining a special power flowing into his body.

However, a minute passed.

Liu Wei's face turned very pale.

"Why can this white crystal only be exchanged for achievement points?"

His gaze toward Ling Shuang carried a fleeting hint of resentment.

Why is it only him who can do it!
