Jiang Yurou knew she was indeed asking for too much. Now that it had been almost two years since the apocalypse began, it was virtually impossible to find any edible meat in the city.

To gather fifty catties of meat, the only option is to go into the mountains to hunt.

Dealing with those wild beasts is about as risky as facing zombies head-on, and besides, most of the wild beasts in the area have already been slaughtered by the factory workers, so we have to go to more distant places to hunt them.

Shen Chengyin will have to put in some effort to meet the conditions.

But since this man was so pretentious, she was determined to make him suffer.

Shen Chengyin nodded. "Deal."

Then, with a flick of his wrist, fifty pounds of frozen pork slammed onto Jiang Yurou's cashmere carpet like a huge boulder, the stench of blood filling the air and ice shards scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Yurou's expression silently crumbled as she watched helplessly as the pork stained her elegant cashmere carpet.

Shen Chengyin raised the necklace and looked at it against the light. The shiny chain was dazzling, and the length was just right.

Pretty.

He put the item into his spatial storage with satisfaction and turned to leave.

Three seconds later, a beast-like growl came from behind:

"Shen Chengyin—?!!"

"I'm going to kill you today!!"

Su Han reacted swiftly, grabbing Jiang Yurou's shoulder and also stopping her hand from drawing her gun. "Calm down! I'll wash the carpet with you—! I'll wash it with you!!"

"Don't get angry yet. Quickly call someone to come and move the meat, otherwise it will thaw and smell even worse!"

"Sis! Don't be angry! Peace brings wealth!"

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Jiang Yurou has been constantly talking about wanting to strangle Shen Chengyin.

Su Han tried every means to ease the tension between the two sides, but she was exhausted.

Not long after, the day that Shen Chengyin and Jiang Yurou had agreed upon for their competition arrived.

Su Han originally thought that Jiang Yurou would not make a fuss about this. After all, in the apocalypse, who would set up a stage and invite everyone to watch a fight like in a cultivation novel?

But Jiang Yurou actually did it.

She fenced off a piece of land near her factory and ostentatiously summoned everyone from the factory—several hundred people in total.

Su Han stood outside the circle and noticed that all the superhumans present, regardless of their strength, looked at Jiang Yurou with gratitude and respect, without a trace of resentment.

In his mind, a leader who could establish such a dog-eat-dog system should be hated by everyone.

But reality seems to be different; Jiang Yurou wasn't just talking. She truly had the ability to unite people's hearts.

Shen Chengyin and Jiang Yurou stood in the circle, both agreeing not to use mental abilities or firearms, and that everything else was up to them.

This rule is very disadvantageous for Shen Chengyin; his life and spatial abilities are almost entirely ineffective for attacking. Even if his ability level is significantly higher than Jiang Yurou's, he might not be able to defeat her.

Just as Su Han was getting worried, a cold laugh suddenly echoed in her mind.

System 111 didn't even bother to say a word.

In the original story, the only one capable of killing the protagonist is himself, who also destroys the entire world as a casualty. With that kind of power, why worry about him...? Ha!

What exactly blinded its host?

Jiang Yurou nodded to Shen Chengyin and took the initiative.

She suddenly squatted down, pressing her hands onto the ground. Visibly, the soil began to loosen, starting from the point where her hands touched, all the way up to Shen Chengyin's feet.

She's turning the battlefield into a swamp; without a foothold, Shen Chengyin can't even stand steadily, let alone fight back.

Jiang Yurou was certain that Shen Chengyin couldn't even withstand one of her moves, but she didn't expect that the swamp had already spread to Shen Chengyin's feet, yet he remained completely still.

How is that possible?

Jiang Yurou paused, staring at the hem of Shen Chengyin's clothes.

The corner of the other person's clothes hovered in the air, neither falling nor being blown by the wind.

Spatial abilities?

Shen Chengyin separated his surroundings from the outside world, forcibly creating a foothold.

Jiang Yurou was not convinced. She rushed over, and the water turned into ice spikes, which she thrust straight at Shen Chengyin.

The ice spike vanished abruptly just before it touched the man's body, leaving not only Jiang Yurou bewildered but also the onlookers around them.

Another spatial ability? The ice spikes were taken away by Shen Chengyin?

She refused to accept this and raised her hand to draw the knife from the hand of someone outside the circle.

Then came the second, and the third.

The dense array of blades did not shoot directly at Shen Chengyin, but instead hovered in the air, sealing off all the space above him that he could use to dodge.

Immediately afterwards, the seeds buried in the soil below were stimulated to sprout by supernatural power, and a gigantic plant grew in an instant. The power of plant growth was beyond imagination; it was unleashed in an instant, and a normal person would probably be pierced through the body.

Attacking from both above and below, restricting movement. Jiang Yurou's combat strategy is clear and ruthless.

Su Han was shocked by Jiang Yurou's moves; this was the first time he had ever seen the moves of a wood-type ability user.

There were a few wood-type ability users at the Fuxing Base before, but most of them worked in the fields and had no means of attack.

Jiang Yurou's move defied conventional wisdom and was quite ingenious.

Shen Chengyin remained standing still, and the plants disappeared again the moment they touched him, leaving not a single leaf behind.

No matter how ruthless the moves were, it was useless. It was like punching cotton; not only did it miss the opponent, but the fist was also taken away.

Jiang Yurou couldn't help but burst into a tirade, "You take whatever I make! How can you be so greedy?!"

Shen Chengyin, "You want me to fight you using an aggressive approach?"

"Otherwise what? I'm here to bring you food?"

"Okay." Shen Chengyin nodded. "Then I'll grant your wish."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yurou suddenly felt a lightness on the left side of her body.

Something fell to the ground.

It's her arm.
