My cells devour all worlds.

When Lu Sheng pushed open the door and returned, Yu Qingxuan had already finished taking a bath and even hung up her clothes.

They are currently washing pots and pans left by the previous tenant in the kitchen with Yu Qingyi.

The two were no longer disguised as bloated individuals, but instead wore simple, even somewhat old-fashioned, black casual clothes.

Unlike the chaotic outer city, where trouble could break out at any moment, the inner city maintained strict order and was constantly patrolled by city guards.

Even awakened beings must abide by the rules and regulations and not cause trouble; otherwise, they will be fined or killed on the spot.

Therefore, they no longer need to disguise themselves as before in the inner city.

Upon seeing Lu Sheng return, Yu Qingyi quickly put down what she was holding, wiped her hands, and was about to walk towards Lu Sheng.

Taking a step, Yu Qingyi suddenly remembered her sister's words of advice, and slightly suppressed her smile, slowing her pace.

She said, "Brother Lu, you're back. Why did you take so long?"

Yu Qingyi held out her hand, "We'll take care of the stuff. You can go take a shower first."

"The supermarket sells only purified products, which are very expensive. I went to the market outside the city."

Lu Sheng gave a casual explanation and carried the things to the kitchen.

He bought regular rice, flour, cooking oil, and some essential daily necessities, as well as two first-class chameleons, each over a meter long and weighing more than 20 kilograms.

There was also a fist-sized piece of level-two wild beef.

These two were precisely the ingredients from the ferocious beasts that Lu Sheng wanted to use for testing.

He wanted to see if he wanted to eat the whole thing, or just a little bit or a portion.

These few items cost him several hundred Hope Coins.

If Jiangzhi hadn't given us some money, we probably wouldn't have had enough to buy just these things.

Lu Sheng was also surprised to learn that things in the inner city were so expensive.

If it weren't for Yu Qingyi, who could buy those unpurified items in the outer city, he wouldn't even have enough money to buy food.

Even so, the two lizards, weighing nearly fifty pounds in total, and the beef cost him over six hundred Hope Coins, which accounted for the bulk of the expense.

If it were purified, the price would be several times higher, making it something he simply couldn't afford.

He needs to make money quickly, otherwise he won't even be able to afford food in the future.

While energy bars can keep you alive, you can't improve your strength by only eating energy bars.

This money is necessary.

Lu Sheng felt a sense of urgency; the little money he had left wouldn't last more than a few days.

Let's leave the city tomorrow.

He could easily catch those ferocious beasts himself, keep some to eat, and have Yu Qingyi purify the rest before selling them.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid back then, otherwise he would have missed his chance with Yu Qingyi.

Lu Sheng couldn't help but recall what had happened a few days ago; his act of kindness had brought him considerable reward.

Lu Sheng learned from a pamphlet he obtained from the Awakened Ones Office that Awakened Ones with purification abilities were indeed highly sought after.

They are highly sought after by every team.

If you don't have a team, you either have to buy one at a high price or ask the purification specialist affiliated with the office to help you.

It's hard to say whether you'll get a turn or not, but the commission will be substantial, no less than 30%.

Some teams are even willing to increase their commission rate so that the purifiers can choose their items first.

Otherwise, they can only sell them to the recycling base at a low price.

The person that others would kill for was delivered to him willingly; one has to admit he was quite lucky.

Lu Sheng completely forgot his initial thoughts.

He placed the bag containing the lizards on the table. "Let's cook all of this tonight."

After saying that, Lu Sheng went to take a bath.

He couldn't stand it before because there were no conditions, but now that there are, he's already reached his limit.

He usually washes once a day, and in the cold winter, he washes once every two or three days.

Lu Sheng himself was disgusted with this body because it hadn't been bathed for who knows how many days.

……

The neighboring house, separated by only one wall.

The base of the Rampage Squad.

Four men with different hairstyles were playing cards on the sofa in the living room, each with a cigarette in their mouth.

"One three."

"A royal flush!"

Lu Jie, with his rooster-like hair, was stunned for a moment, then immediately flew into a rage. "Damn it, Lao Ba, do you even know how to play cards? Who goes up with a royal flush right away?"

Hu Bang picked up the bottle, took a sip, and said, "I'm happy to."

"But I'm your teammate, damn it."

"I love attacking my teammates."

Lu Jie threw down his cards and angrily said, "This hand is unplayable."

Hu Bang refused to back down and also discarded his cards, declaring, "Fine, I won't play then!"

"Damn it, no way! You two have bad cards but you're still showing off!"

The other two immediately became unhappy and started grumbling and demanding that the game continue.

"The cards are all scattered, how can we play?"

Lu Jie spread his hands, a sly glint in his eyes.

"You've been cheating every time, no way, you have to accept defeat this time."

"How can we be considered to have lost when we haven't even fought? What kind of bullshit logic is that?"

"I don't care..."

As the group argued, a person came down the stairs from the second floor.

With thick bangs and wearing glasses, he frowned as he looked at the smoke-filled living room, which reeked of alcohol. "What's all the noise about? Where's Xiao Lei? Hasn't he come back yet?"

Just as they were about to reply, a buzzing sound began, growing ever closer.

Then, a motorcycle drove into the yard in their field of vision.

Lu Jie smiled. "Look, here we are."

The young man named Xiao Lei parked his car, ran into the living room, glanced at the bespectacled man at the bottom of the stairs, and respectfully greeted him:

"Big brother."

Then they called people in turn:

"Brother Chicken".

"Brother Bang."

"Brother Chow Yun-fat".

"Brother Hong."

"..."

Hu Bang's lips twitched, and he cursed, "I told you not to call me from behind that rooster-headed guy."

"Hey, don't worry about such a small thing."

Lu Jie interrupted Hu Bang and looked at the newcomer, "Xiao Lei, how's the matter your brother asked you to inquire about going?"

"I've found out. The three people next door, two women and one man, are all Awakened Ones who registered today. The two women are sisters, and the three of them just formed a team. The leader is that man."

Xiao Lei looked excited. "Boss, one of the two women has the ability to purify!"

"What?! Purification!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the four people on the sofa exclaimed in surprise and couldn't sit still any longer.

Lu Jie was even more eager to try. He touched his hair and said, "What do you mean, boss? Should I go over and invite him now? If we can get him to come over, we won't have to put up with that shrew anymore."

The others chimed in, "Yeah, boss, that Zhou Bapi is getting more and more outrageous. He just asks for 50% off every time he opens his mouth."

Hu Bang smashed the bottle. "Damn it, all the prey that our brothers risked their lives to hunt has ended up in his mouth."

Upon hearing about the purification ability, a glint flashed in the eyes of the bespectacled man, Lin Yushu. He reached out and suppressed it, saying, "No rush."

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Yushu continued, "What are the abilities of the other two? Especially the man?"

Xiao Lei answered truthfully, "The other woman's ability is related to poison. As for the man, I heard it's related to physical enhancement, and he's been an Awakener for some time now. He directly passed the assessment and became a Level 1 Awakener."

"A Level 1 Awakener? Or is it just a body enhancement? These guys with all muscles are the easiest to bully."

Lu Jie took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and smiled disdainfully.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and a flame instantly appeared at his fingertip, lighting his cigarette. He then took a deep drag.

"It's a waste to follow such a useless captain. Why don't we just go over and scare him until he gives up?"

"Use your brain instead of always thinking about taking action. Forcing her will only push her to another team."

Lin Yushu rejected the suggestion, adjusted her glasses with her middle finger, and said, "Let's 'talk' to that man first. It would be best if we could both come and take him over, but if that's not possible..."

His glasses were slightly reflective. "Then we'll just have to accept his team members by accident..."
