Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

As he pondered this, Lin Chen had already walked back to the underground shelter.

Over the course of fifteen days, his superpowers underwent three more upgrades.

He is now a genuine fifth-tier powerhouse.

Even more outrageous is that he has already pushed his two core abilities, Time Field and Body Enhancement, to the sixth rank.

He once tried his skills on a mountaintop—with a wave of his hand, the entire mountain was leveled.

Moving mountains and filling seas are no longer legends for him.

As for the crystal cores, nine million have already been collected.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly.

But then, his brows furrowed again.

"The number of crystal cores I can earn each day is getting smaller and smaller," he thought to himself. "The zombies around here have been cleared out wave after wave, and what's left is simply not enough to go around."

Zhou Tiannian and his group have already begun "corpse raising," and countless superhumans have started expanding into surrounding cities.

But production volume has never been able to increase.

This kind of waiting—where you're about to achieve your goal but it's still nowhere in sight—is incredibly frustrating.

"How about we go to Shenzhen again tomorrow? Let's see what the situation is like there?"

He urgently needs the Creation Pearl to advance to the seventh rank.

Otherwise, his level will be stuck here—either stagnant or he can only awaken other abilities laterally.

He desperately wanted to know what changes would occur after reaching the seventh rank.

Or, to put it another way, is there a next level?

More importantly, only if the Creation Pearl can be upgraded to the seventh rank can he possibly be upgraded to the seventh rank.

That realm that countless S-class ability users in the previous life dreamed of, yet very few people dared to set foot in.

They call themselves "gods".

As for the others?

Limited by the zombie's level, most strong individuals are currently stuck at the third tier, with fourth-tier individuals being extremely rare.

In the current apocalypse, the most deadly thing is no longer those mindless zombies.

It's the extreme cold and dwindling supplies.

He walked straight back to the bedroom, where Li Ya and Su Yun were already waiting for him.

After his physical enhancement reached level six, they were no longer his match, and Jiang Yingyue was clamoring for Lin Chen to find outside help again.

However, it was delayed due to the recent recruitment for space development.

Another pleasant night.

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

The next morning, after having breakfast, Lin Chen finally ended his "lying down" project.

He flipped himself onto Yuanzai, and the two of them sped off towards Shenzhen.

As soon as he stepped into Shenzhen, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.

In the far sky, a black dot is hovering.

It was the same black eagle that attacked him and Yuanzai last time.

"Yuanzi," Lin Chen's lips curled slightly, "Did you see that eagle? We absolutely cannot let it get away this time."

Yuanzai nodded, slowed his pace, and his eyes became focused.

That black eagle was clearly a vengeful creature.

It almost got taken advantage of by Lin Chen last time, and it probably still can't get over that.

It circled twice, then suddenly swooped down, heading straight for Lin Chen!

The speed was several points faster than last time.

It seems that its strength has increased considerably during this period, which is why it dares to launch a direct attack.

"Gah—!"

Amidst the piercing cry, the black eagle's body crackled with electricity, countless tiny bolts of lightning leaping between its feathers.

It has become very skilled.

It immediately discharges electricity upon arrival.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen also learned his lesson.

He raised his hand, which was covered with several layers of thick insulating gloves.

Black Hawk's golden eyes flashed, and lightning shot directly into them.

Lin Chen tilted his head and easily dodged.

The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Black Hawk was stunned.

Then, a hand reached out from behind it and firmly grasped its paw.

"I've got you."

Lin Chen's voice came from above, tinged with amusement.

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Hawk began to struggle desperately.

Lightning bolted out like it was free, exploding in his hands with a crackling sound, but unfortunately, it was all blocked by the insulated gloves.

It flapped its wings, its sharp beak pecking fiercely at Lin Chen's arm, its claws kicking desperately.

But this amount of force was no different from tickling Lin Chen.

The power gap is too great.

Lin Chen impatiently raised his other hand.

"Smack."

I slapped it on the head, not too hard, not too soft, just enough to knock it unconscious.

Black Hawk's head tilted to one side and drooped limply.

Lin Chen looked at the eagle in his hand that had finally become docile and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Phew—it wasn't easy, I finally caught you."

He picked up the black eagle and shook it, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Those that can fly are amazing."

With a thought, he put the Black Hawk into the Creation Pearl space and threw it directly onto Creation Island.

When he left home in the morning, he handed all the spirit crystals to Li Ya and didn't keep a single one for himself.

Otherwise, let's feed it one now and see if we can subdue it directly.

But there's no rush, since the other party can't escape now anyway.

With this matter settled, Lin Chen was in a great mood and patted Yuanzai's head.

"Let's go to Bao'an."

The man and the bear quickly arrived at Qin Lu's Bao'an base.

As soon as they entered the reception room, two figures rushed over.

Qin Lu and Xiao Yan, one on each side, rushed into his arms.

Lin Chen was knocked back half a step, and when he looked down, he saw the two of them hugging him tightly.

It seems that I've been thinking about this a lot these past twenty days.

He smiled and ruffled their hair.

"You miss me that much?"

Qin Lu nodded generously, her longing evident in her eyes.

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but just nestled her head into his arms again, like a spoiled kitten.

Lin Chen chuckled, hugged the two of them tightly, and a thought crossed his mind.

The next second, the three of them appeared in the No. 1 constant temperature workshop, a room filled with pink gauze.

Yuanzi was simply left standing there.

The twelve beauties seemed to have just gotten up; some were still combing their hair, and some were still getting dressed. When they saw Lin Chen suddenly appear, they were all stunned for a moment.

Then, shouts of surprise and delight rose and fell.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Brother Lin!"

They swarmed over and surrounded Lin Chen.

Qin Lu and Xiao Yan were pushed to the side, but they weren't annoyed; they just watched with smiles.

Surrounded by this group of beautiful women, with various fragrances filling his nostrils, Lin Chen was in a great mood.

What followed was an exhilarating battle.

Fortunately, Lin Chen was already of superhuman physical ability, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to withstand this series of "attacks".

Three hours later.

The battle has finally come to an end.

The twelve beauties lay sprawled on the bed, their faces flushed, fast asleep.

Xiao Yan nestled in Lin Chen's arms, her eyelids drooping, and mumbled "bad guy" before falling asleep.

Only Qin Lu was still holding on, leaning on Lin Chen's shoulder, her fingers idly tracing circles on his chest.

Lin Chen put his arm around her and asked, looking down, "Sister Lu, how's the income from crystal cores lately?"

Qin Lu raised her head, her eyes clearing slightly, and began to report:

"We've collected about 500,000 in the past twenty-odd days, and we've visited all the major and minor factions in Guangzhou. There aren't many zombies left now, so everyone's raising fish to level up later..."

Lin Chen frowned. They were still short 500,000.
