Chen Miao silently abandoned the thought at the bottom of his heart. He just felt an added sense of helplessness towards this chaotic world, always feeling that it was far more disordered than the world he knew before.
Although the previous world also had instances of ruthless actions,
at least... things were kept to appearances, not as openly ugly.
In this world,
forget it, there's no way to put it. In this damn world, one can only make oneself as strong as possible. He had come to understand that this world operated on an even purer form of survival of the fittest.
It was just a pity about the Hungry Monkey.
Such a promising young man, dead just like that. Of all things to dabble in, why love? His death was simply too tragic.
...
Everything then returned to normal.
Yuan Buping was engrossed in studying his Tower Defense Building, while the remaining members of the Tomb Guardian Power had all gone to the Apocalypse Paradise in the Sankui Wasteland, which was the secret realm that Chen Miao had just come from. The challenge of that realm wasn't great, and with their abilities, they were more than capable. It was a good opportunity for them to toughen up and gain some combat experience.

As long as one didn't find oneself in a desperate situation and left some room for maneuver, the task was practically effortless.
The Hungry Monkey was full and could eat no more, staring dumbfounded at his own panel. He began to throw punches continuously to increase his Skill Proficiency. There were no shortcuts to improving skill proficiency; it could only be done through constant use.
"Pixiu Holy Body," ingest without excretion.
He didn't know if it counted as a side effect, but ever since activating this bloodline power, the Hungry Monkey had become unable to defecate. From now on, he'd never have to worry about constipation or hemorrhoids. Urination remained normal; it was just the bowel movements that had ceased.
But perhaps the law of conservation of energy was being followed.
Even though he no longer defecated, the volume of his urination was nearly ten times what it used to be. The last time he was at the toilet, his legs went numb, and he still hadn't finished.
This might also be a matter of fate for the Hungry Monkey, as he just happened to come across Chen Miao. In addition, just under Chen Miao's guidance, he had transitioned into becoming a fighter and had acquired a Hidden Occupation for fighters within the secret realm, with three books pertaining to the Hidden Occupation of a fighter ready for him.
If even one of the three conditions had not been met, the Hungry Monkey would likely have never discovered he had such an incredible bloodline.
He might have ended up working as a manual laborer on a construction site for life.
After stepping over the line,
he didn't immediately launch an attack but stood still for a moment, patiently dodging the attacks coming from the wooden man. He acknowledged Chen Miao's strength; the attacks stored in the Cursed Doll could definitely kill the wooden man boss within 1 minute.
He only needed to wait patiently for a while and keep his time around 3 minutes.
That way, killing the boss in just a few seconds wouldn't make the record too conspicuous.
He was so eager to become the Deputy Director of the Event Bureau. After the major event ended, Chen Miao had not contacted him, and he couldn't sleep at all during the night, his heart unsettled. He knew that the words he had just spoken might seem too obvious in Chen Miao's eyes.
But he had spoken them anyway.
It wasn't too late to talk about these matters after he had successfully assumed the position. All he wanted now was to succeed in his appointment; everything else was secondary.
About 2 minutes passed.
Feeling that it was about time, lest any more delays lead to errors, Zhou Shen took a deep breath. During the brief moment when the wooden man turned around, he crushed the Cursed Doll in his hand.
A white vortex portal suddenly emerged in mid-air.
However...
The scene he had anticipated, where bullets gushed from the portal like a plague of locusts, did not occur.
Instead—
A full 10 massive missiles emerged from the portal, struggling to squeeze through as they carried intense flames and a strong sense of oppression, crashing down onto the wooden man boss!
"It's over!"
Almost instantly, a powerful shockwave exploded throughout the empty secret realm, and countless flashes of light burst forth from the center. The visibly expanding shockwave rushed towards him like Yama's death warrant.
What exactly had Miao stuffed into the Cursed Doll?
10 missiles?
Shit!
Those 10 missiles would definitely kill the wooden man boss, but if nothing out of the ordinary happened, he likely wouldn't survive either.
Just as the shockwave was about to engulf him, Zhou Shen gave a bitter smile as if he suddenly came to terms with everything. Dying like this was quite hard to accept. What about his daughter? Who would take care of her?
Still, he instantly activated all the defensive talismans on his body, ready to face the onslaught.
