My cells devour all worlds.

"drink!"

Chang Junda was shirtless, one hand on a brick, the other in a palm shape, his eyes fixed on the brick, his expression focused.

With a soft shout, Chang Junda slammed his palm down, smashing the protruding half of the brick.

With a crack, the brick broke in two and fell to the ground.

"Yay! It finally broke! I really am a genius!"

Upon seeing this, Chang Junda was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

He kept hitting bricks from the beginning, but it was his hands that hurt.

He can split a brick in half without even feeling it, without using any technique, just pure brute force.

This shows how much progress he has made in the past few days.

His muscle definition has also become much more pronounced, making him look much more toned and muscular.

The skills my master taught me were truly real, far superior to anything I had learned before!

Just as Chang Junda was feeling happy, Lu Sheng silently appeared behind him, his voice low and menacing:

"Have you finished your stance training for today? Let's do other things here."

"Master?!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Junda trembled violently, turned around, and said with a sheepish look on his face, "I'll start practicing right away, I'll start practicing now."

As he spoke, he quickly assumed a fighting stance on the spot.

These past few days he has witnessed Lu Sheng's strictness as his master, and he dares not be negligent in the slightest.

Otherwise, you'll suffer soon.

Master's iron fist is no joke; if you don't meet the requirements, you'll really get a beating.

Lu Sheng glanced at Chang Junda, then produced a small bamboo pole from somewhere and placed it in Chang Junda's hand.

"Raise your hands, lower your center of gravity, why are you raising your butt so high? Want to eat my underwear? Tuck it in a bit!"

"I've been teaching you for days, and you still can't even remember a basic stance..."

"..."

After supervising Chang Junda's training as usual, Lu Sheng returned to the hall. With a thought, a system panel visible only to him appeared in mid-air.

The special mission can now begin.

Lu Sheng threw himself onto the sofa, and on a whim, pressed the start button!

In any case, no matter how much time passes in the mission world, it's only a fleeting moment in the real world.

He wasn't worried that Chang Junda would find out.

[Host's request received, special mission loading...]

A few seconds later.

"Master."

Chang Junda jogged into the hall, intending to ask Lu Sheng about the key points of the next move.

But after scanning around, he couldn't see Lu Sheng. "Hmm? Wasn't Master just here? Did he go back to his room?"

Chang Junda thought for a moment and decided not to disturb him. Since Lu Sheng hadn't responded, he must have something else on his mind.

Thinking it over, Chang Junda retreated back into the courtyard.

……

Wasteland.

Hope is the gathering place, in the East District.

The 23rd shantytown.

"Um……"

Lu Sheng woke up groggily, feeling a slight pain in the back of his head, his mind still foggy, and he had no energy left in his body.

It felt like I was half-asleep, about to fall asleep again.

He forced himself to stay awake and half-opened his eyes.

The room that came into view was dimly lit, small and cramped, and piled with all sorts of things.

The wall didn't look like a wall; it looked more like a rough sheet of iron.

A damp, murky smell also entered my nasal cavity.

Lu Sheng tried to stand up to take a closer look at the situation, but found himself bound to the chair, his mouth, hands and feet tightly tied, unable to make a sound or move.

In the past, he could have broken free with just a little effort.

But now, even the slightest movement feels like I've used up all my strength.

Where is he...? Something feels off.

Lu Sheng's sluggish mind slowly began to process a few thoughts.

Then, a memory unfolded slowly in his mind like a scroll painting.

"Wasteland... ghouls... ferocious beasts... a place of hope... looking for my cousin Jiangzhi... exotic fruit..."

It seems he's entered an extraordinary world. And what's this "All-Heavens Fate-Changing System"? I think you're more like a cousin system...

The thought slowly flashed through Lu Sheng's mind. His eyelids gradually grew heavy, and then his head tilted to the side, and he closed his eyes completely.

The moment Lu Sheng fainted, a figure on the other side of the room suddenly turned his gaze towards him.

"Um?"

Yu Qingyi tilted her head; she thought she had just seen that person move.

Is it just my imagination?

Just then, Yu Qingxuan, who was tending to a potted plant bearing strange fruit, looked over and asked, "Xiaoyi, what's wrong?"

Yu Qingyi pointed to the figure strapped to the chair and said uncertainly, "Sister, I think I just saw Brother Lu move."

Yu Qingxuan frowned. "How is that possible? I just gave him anesthesia not long ago. Even a cow wouldn't wake up."

"Then... I must have seen wrong?"

Yu Qingyi also began to doubt herself.

"It's hard to say."

Yu Qingxuan thought for a moment, "Maybe he's developed drug resistance? Never mind, let's just give him another injection."

As she spoke, she reached into the cabinet next to her and took out a small bottle of medicine and a syringe.

Just as she was about to insert the syringe needle into the medicine bottle, Yu Qingyi paused, her gaze involuntarily falling on another medicine bottle in the cabinet.

She tightened her grip on the syringe. "Or... maybe we should just make sure he never wakes up again."

Instead of living in constant fear that the tall man will wake up and fight back, it's better to kill him and be done with it.

Just wait until nightfall, then throw it outside anywhere, and you don't have to worry about anything else.

It's perfectly normal for one or two people to die here.

"This isn't right, sis. Brother Lu gave me food before, and he's looking for his cousin. He should be... a good person."

Yu Qingyi was startled by her sister's words.

"A good person? Xiaoyi, you're still too naive."

Yu Qingxuan snorted, "Would a good person follow you to your home? Especially at night? I think he's up to no good."

"And he may have already seen the strange fruit we hid. If word gets out, you know, neither of us will survive."

Yu Qingyi hesitated for a moment. She knew her sister was right, but she still couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

She could only weakly say, "...Sister, the exotic fruit will ripen in the next couple of days anyway. Why don't we wait a little longer? Once you eat the exotic fruit and become an Awakened One, you definitely won't be afraid of him anymore."

Yu Qingxuan tapped Yu Qingyi's forehead with a look of exasperation, "You'll suffer a great loss sooner or later with this kind of personality."

Despite saying that, Yu Qingxuan ultimately did not replace the anesthetic in her hand.

She inserted the syringe into the medicine bottle, drew up a full syringe, and then came to Lu Sheng's side.

Yu Qingxuan first glanced at Lu Sheng's face, then reached out and lifted Lu Sheng's head, fixing her gaze on him. "He is quite handsome..."

Despite his dirty face and messy hair, he still looked quite handsome.

Suddenly, she remembered something, looked up abruptly, and said, "Xiaoyi, you don't actually have a crush on him, do you?"

Yu Qingyi's eyes darted around, and she lowered her head slightly: "...That's not true."

"That would be best."

Yu Qingxuan didn't say anything more.

She shook Lu Sheng's head away and slapped his face hard. After confirming that Lu Sheng was still unconscious, she loosened one of his arms and then inserted the syringe into the vein in Lu Sheng's arm.

Proceed gradually.

It's no wonder she was so cautious; it's just that Lu Sheng's physique was quite different from theirs.

If they hadn't taken advantage of the sneak attack, how could the two of them have caught each other?

Although Xiaoyi is a hidden Awakener, her ability is in the purification field, which does not greatly improve her strength. It can only remove the pollution from cheap food.
