When Lu Zixun woke up again, he opened his eyes and looked around.
He found himself in a strange room, faintly smelling the scent of laundry detergent in the air.
He rubbed his head against the blanket.
Lu Zixun took a deep breath and said, "I survived, huh."
"System, open the panel."
The recent events made Lu Zixun realize some truths.
No matter what, one must have strong capabilities to protect the people he cared about.
Looking at the feeling value in the system, Lu Zixun thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
He quickly raised his paw to rub them, his mouth slightly open, his eyes brimming with joy.
"Sixty thousand feeling points, how did that happen?"
He quickly opened the system’s feeling value detector and was momentarily dizzy from the dense numbers.
"It seems that this adventurous act was indeed rewarding."
After turning off the detector, Lu Zixun felt somewhat relieved.
Sixty thousand equaled twelve lottery chances.
With the added reward balls, it should be no problem to draw a Superpower, if luck wasn’t too bad.
However, Lu Zixun wasn’t in a hurry to draw the lottery but instead opened the Mall.
Seeing that it wasn’t time for the Mall to refresh, Lu Zixun let out a sigh of relief and directly exchanged for an Awakening Fruit.
"Ding—subtracting 10,000 feeling value to exchange for an Awakening Fruit, remaining 50,000 feeling value, item placed in the Host’s System Space."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun shook his head and decided not to exchange for a Recovery Fruit.
He felt that this item was not of much use.
"System, upgrade the Mall."
"Ding—subtracting 6,000 points from the Host, starting the upgrade of Level 1 Mall, the upgrade will be completed in one day."
Watching one-third of his feeling value diminish instantly, Lu Zixun couldn’t help feeling a sting.
The feeling value came quickly, but left even faster.
He hadn’t properly enjoyed the feeling points before they were gone.
"System, check how many lottery chances I currently have."
"Ding—Host currently has three lottery chances, would you like to use them?"
Considering that situations like Xiong Kang might appear again in the future, Lu Zixun thought for a moment.
He still didn’t plan to do a ten-draw.
Instead, he said, "System, use the feeling value to exchange for two more lottery chances, give me a straight five-draw."
"Ding—subtracting 10,000 feeling value for two lottery chances, now you have five chances, starting the lottery."
"Ding—Congratulations, you’ve obtained a small leather whip."
"Ding—Congratulations, you’ve obtained Iron Man’s gold card."
"Ding—Congratulations, you’ve received Walkeridon’s Ice Superpower from ’Superpower Academy’, First Stage."
"Ding—Congratulations, you’ve received a one-time Superpower item, Golden Cicada Shell."
"Ding—Congratulations, you’ve received a Dorayaki eaten by Dingdang Cat."
Looking at the Ice Element Superpower and the one-time Superpower item lying in his backpack.
Lu Zixun was stunned for a moment.
Was he possessed by the Luck King? The luck in this five-draw was unexpectedly good.
In the room, a wildly arrogant and frightening laughter suddenly emanated from Lu Zixun.
At the doorway, the guard heard the noise and quickly pushed the door open and ran inside.
"Ding—concern from Xie Da detected, +500."
"Orange Cat big boss... you..."
After a pause, Xie Da organized his words, "Are you alright?"
Looking up and seeing the complex expression on Xie Da’s face, Lu Zixun knew that his laughter had scared him, and he felt a bit embarrassed.
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Where are we right now?"
Without rushing to extract powers from the System Space, Lu Zixun asked.
"We are in Chunhua City now, the incident in area Q has been resolved."
Xie Da stood straight as he answered Lu Zixun’s question.
"How was it resolved?"
Although Lu Zixun had guessed that the situation was resolved, he still wanted to know the specifics.
"Elder Zeng and Captain Xiong joined forces and activated the killing array in the Barrier, slaughtering all the Abnormal Creatures in area Q."
Remembering the scene at that time, Xie Da’s face showed a look of longing, "I wish I could be as powerful as Captain Xiong someday."
"And where are the old man and Xiong Kang now?"
Lying flat on the bed, Lu Zixun felt especially hungry at this moment.
"They’ve gone to a meeting at headquarters, probably won’t be back until the afternoon."
Smiling, Xie Da’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun, "Captain Xiong said if you wake up and need anything, just call me."
Just then, Lu Zixun’s stomach rumbled with hunger, and hearing Xie Da’s words, he quickly asked Xie Da to get some food.
In the room, when it was just Lu Zixun and the cat again, Lu Zixun directly extracted the Ice superpower from the System Space.
At the moment of extraction,
Lu Zixun’s vision darkened, and an extremely cold aura spread from the center of his body outward, freezing the furniture in the room into blocks of ice.
Lu Zixun cried out in pain.
At this moment, it felt as if fine needles were continuously piercing his brain, making Lu Zixun feel almost better off dead.
Rolling continuously on the bed, the room temperature plummeted below zero.
Xie Da, who came with breakfast and pushed open the door, was struck by the cold air in the room, making him shiver uncontrollably.
One second the room was fine, and the next it had turned into a world of ice and snow.
Never having seen such a scene, Xie Da was stunned on the spot.
During his daze, blue energy crawled up his boots, and ice began forming near the soles.
His body’s warmth plundered by the cold, Xie Da shook his head to recover his senses.
Looking at the extremely pained Lu Zixun on the bed, he gritted his teeth, threw down the food in his hand, and rushed toward Lu Zixun.
Before Xie Da could get close, he crashed into a barrier flashing with blue light and was knocked back by its repelling force.
Rubbing his sore butt and somewhat at a loss, Xie Da quickly took out his phone to call Xiong Kang.
Xiong Kang, who was in a meeting, saw the caller’s name, furrowed his brows slightly, and answered the phone.
Before Xiong Kang could speak, an anxious Xie Da on the other end said, "Captain, it’s bad. The Orange Cat big boss is frozen in ice blocks, it might be an invasion by a new type of Abnormal Creature."
Without even having a chance to hang up the phone, Xiong Kang abruptly stood up, looked at Zeng Haoyang, and said, "Elder, the little bastard is in trouble, I need to go check on him now."
Looking at the elder’s expression next to him, Zeng Haoyang nodded at Xiong Kang.
Opening the French window, the Mother and Child Dual Swords on Xiong Kang’s arm instantly unsheathed and merged into one.
Stepping on the giant sword, Xiong Kang turned into a beam of light, rushing toward Lu Zixun’s location.
Watching Xiong Kang’s departing figure, the elder touched his snow-white beard, "Haoyang, who is the little bastard Xiong Kang mentioned?"
