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

Lin Chen arrived outside the base, where a group of base guards were surrounding an arrogant-looking man.

The man was wearing a worn leather jacket, his chin held high, his gaze sweeping over the girls with unbridled abandon.

"I advise you to be more polite. My boss is someone you can't afford to mess with." His voice was shrill, laced with arrogant arrogance. "Our boss didn't attack you before because he was afraid of losing opponents and the fun. That was giving you face, understand?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the girls' faces, and grinned, "I see you're all so pretty, why don't you all come back with me later? Our boss treats beauties the best, they'll eat and drink well, it's much better than being in this wretched place."

Lin Chen happened to hear these words as he walked over.

He frowned. How could he run into such a goofball on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

He slowly walked towards the group and asked, "What happened?"

Upon seeing Lin Chen, the guards immediately made way for him.

The young girl in the lead quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Lin, this person was sent from the central area of ​​Shanghai. He said he wants to trade with us, exchanging crystal cores for supplies."

She paused, her tone tinged with resentment, "But they demanded we deliver to their door, and this guy was so rude, he started spouting nonsense right from the start."

Lin Chen nodded, his gaze falling on the person.

When the man saw Lin Chen come out, he glanced at him, his eyelids twitched, but he quickly regained his arrogant expression.

"You're the boss here?" He put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin even higher.

"That's right." Lin Chen nodded, looking at the other person with a playful expression.

The man seemed uncomfortable under Lin Chen's gaze and continued arrogantly, "I heard you're exchanging supplies for crystal cores?"

Lin Chen nodded again, without saying a word.

The man, now even more disrespectful, felt slighted and raised his voice: "Our boss said he wants to do business with you. The conditions are simple: deliver the supplies to our territory. As for the crystal cores, you won't be shortchanged."

Finally, he arrogantly added, "This is a big compliment, so don't be ungrateful."

Lin Chen didn't reply, and the girls guarding him looked at him like he was an idiot. Anyone who dared to talk to Brother Lin like that was probably long dead.

The man felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze, but he still retorted, "What? You don't want to? Let me tell you, our boss isn't just anyone."

He then added threats: "We haven't touched you before because we were too lazy to. If you anger him, this place of yours could be gone in an instant."

Lin Chen finally spoke, but he turned to the girls beside him and said, "Remember this, if you encounter any idiots like this who can't distinguish between kings and queens and are so arrogant, just kill them, understand?"

The girls nodded quickly, "Okay, Brother Lin."

The man was stunned, then his heart pounded: "What are you going to do? Let me tell you, our boss has powerful backers, and his backers are..."

Lin Chen was no longer willing to listen to his nonsense, so he cast a lightning spell directly, and the man was turned into charred remains before he could even scream.

After finishing, Lin Chen clapped his hands, turned around and instructed the girl beside him, "Go tell Sister Yun that I'm going to the city center."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

A little over ten minutes later, Lin Chen arrived in the city center. Although he had never been to this area of ​​influence before, he had already learned its approximate location from the military.

He was spotted by lookouts as soon as he appeared in front of a building.

Two sentries, wrapped in tattered military overcoats, emerged from behind their cover, guns at the ready, and asked in an unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for your boss." Lin Chen didn't stop walking.

"Where did this brat come from? Do you think you can just see our boss whenever you want?" One of them weighed the steel pipe in his hand and winked at the other.

The two men approached him from the left and right, slapping the steel pipes against his palms with a loud cracking sound, clearly trying to intimidate him.

Lin Chen frowned. Are all the people in this powerful group this arrogant?

He raised his hand, and two bolts of lightning fell silently. Before the two sentries could react, they were already charred, and the steel pipes clattered and rolled to the ground.

This scene was spotted by the hidden sentry, and the alarm immediately went off.

"Enemy attack!"

"Help! Someone come quick!"

"Go and inform the boss immediately!"

A dark mass of figures surged forth from all directions, some carrying guns, some holding knives, and some with supernatural powers glowing in their hands.

When they saw the charred corpse on the ground, their expressions changed, but most of them, relying on their superior numbers, roared and pounced on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn't waste any words and walked straight inside.

Lightning crackled around him like silver snakes, and with each flash, a group of people fell.

He walked slowly, but no one could get within three steps of him.

But these people still charged forward, howling.

The more he fought, the more curious he became about who this leader of the group was, and how he could train his subordinates to be so arrogant and fearless.

Soon, Lin Chen arrived at one of the underground halls here.

A large group of people emerged from ahead, surrounding a man of medium build, and walked towards them.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on that person, he stopped in his tracks, and froze.

The man wore a black gauze winged crown, with a bright pearl trembling on top; he wore a bright yellow dragon robe with a round collar and narrow sleeves, with four coiled dragons woven on the front, baring their fangs and claws; he had a jade belt around his waist and a skirt below—but on his feet he was wearing a pair of high-top warm boots, which instantly ruined the style of the scene.

Then look at that face, with its pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, its hunched neck and rounded shoulders, it looks exactly like a monkey wearing a dragon robe.

Lin Chen's lips twitched, and he muttered, "In this apocalypse... they're even cosplaying as emperors? These people really know how to have fun."

As soon as the man approached, he raised his voice and shouted shrilly, "You audacious traitor! How dare you harm my people!"

Lin Chen was completely stunned by those words, and his lips twitched involuntarily. No wonder his underlings were all so arrogant. They were all crooked and their subordinates were all crooked. He wondered where he got that dragon robe from.

Meanwhile, the surrounding "emperors' subjects" looked at their "emperor" with expressions of adoration, as if they were truly taking this farce seriously.

Before Lin Chen could react, a short, fat man jumped out from the side, hands on his hips, and shouted, "Hey, kid! Our Emperor is the true Son of Heaven, why aren't you kneeling?"

Lin Chen glanced at him sideways, then raised his hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning.

The short, fat man didn't even have time to scream before he followed in the footsteps of the others, becoming a charred corpse and lying stiffly on the ground.

Those around him immediately came to their senses and retreated, moving away from the still-smoking corpse. They turned to look at their "Emperor," hoping he would eliminate this person who dared to challenge the might of Heaven.
