Lord of All, my talent is SSS level.

"squeak?"

The large, gray-black rat's eyes widened in surprise, filled with doubt and confusion.

Clearly, this sacred and majestic power caught it somewhat off guard.

No matter how much it struggled, it was to no avail, as if some supreme rule had nailed it to the void.

However, this power came quickly and went quickly, disappearing in just a breath.

But a line of small print appeared before Zhao Yi's eyes.

[Super Replication activated, successfully replicated the skin toughness of the 'Bio-Rat,' randomly enhanced by 30 times.]

In an instant, Zhao Yi's skin emitted a faint glow, not only looking tender and fair, but also feeling cool and elastic to the touch.

"Its toughness is incredible; even a knife would have a hard time cutting through it!"

Zhao Yi touched it, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

These bio-engineered rats already looked extraordinary; their skin must be much tougher than that of ordinary rats.

Super-replicating further enhances its original toughness by 30 times.

"but......"

Zhao Yi immediately calmed down.

"Its skin is tough, but I still can't keep up with the speed of this big rat when I fire."

At this moment, the big rat finally regained its freedom.

The sudden confinement just now made it feel uneasy, and it also seemed to have had enough fun and was ready to enjoy the 'supplies'.

"Squeak~~"

It let out a triumphant squeak and then suddenly darted towards Zhao Yi.

"Bang!"

Zhao Yi raised his hand and fired a shot, but missed again.

"It's even faster!"

His gaze immediately sharpened.

The moment the giant rat dodged the shot, it sprinted to Zhao Yi's side.

Its speed is comparable to that of a bullet.

Zhao Yi couldn't dodge in time and was bitten on the neck by the giant rat.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

Zhao Yi showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a ruthless glint flashed across his face as he suddenly pressed the giant rat firmly against his neck.

"Bang bang bang!"

At the same time, he raised his other hand and fired several shots.

The large, gray-black rat was instantly blasted to pieces by the pistol, while Zhao Yi was also grazed.

"Fortunately, the skin's resilience was strengthened by 30 times, otherwise it would have been really over."

Zhao Yi touched his neck, which was burning, but there was no wound, only redness and swelling on the skin.

This was caused by being bitten by a bio-rat and by bullet blasts.

"I wonder if there are any other bio-engineered organisms!"

Zhao Yi let out a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly.

That SSS-level talent is awesome!

Unfortunately, the cooldown time is a bit long, a full two hours, while this resource collection mission only lasts half an hour.

"Time is of the essence, I need to hurry and get the supplies!"

Stopping his thoughts about biochemical organisms, Zhao Yi cautiously pushed the cart and officially entered the supermarket.

The first thing you see when you enter is the toiletries area.

"I need to bring some toiletries; I don't want to smell bad every day!"

Zhao Yi took a large bucket of shampoo and a large bucket of hand sanitizer.

Then I picked up toothpaste, a toothbrush, and a toothpaste cup on the way.

"Instant noodles, bottled water, ham sausages, braised eggs, and compressed biscuits—a week isn't a short time, so vitamin C is essential."

Zhao Yi began piling supplies into his shopping cart while cautiously keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

Soon, the shopping cart in front of him was piled high, and no other creatures appeared during that time.

"These things are enough for me to survive for seven days!"

"However, the more food and general merchandise, the better."

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi first pushed the car out and placed it in the location where it had been teleported earlier.

So he rushed in again.

No other creatures appeared; clearly, the only things in the supermarket were the big rat and the three black dogs.

The dangers in this survival world will most likely come from them.

Zhao Yi filled one shopping cart after another, and then pushed them out.

To prevent the cargo on the vehicle from falling off, he even tore the bed sheet into strips and tied them together.

"There are only two minutes left!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Yi immediately tore off a few more bed sheets and strung several shopping carts together.

After doing all this, the countdown on Zhao Yi's arm ended.

hum!

The next moment, the familiar portal opened again on the previously empty street.

And the blood-red countdown reappeared.

【.....5.....4.....】

"Back to the territory!"

Zhao Yi grabbed the front shopping cart and rushed forward.

"It's so heavy!"

There were five shopping carts hanging behind, all piled high with goods.

The immense force made Zhao Yi's body stiffen, and he became completely rigid.

"Come in!"

With a sudden grit of his teeth, Zhao Yi exerted all his strength and finally rushed into the teleportation channel.

This time, I no longer felt that dizzy sensation, as if I were being tossed around in a washing machine.

Instead, it seemed to blink and return to its territory.

All six shopping carts were safely loaded.

"With so many supplies, it should be enough even for two months."

Zhao Yi collapsed onto the ground; pulling the cart had really exhausted him.

The next moment, a cold, mechanical voice rang out.

[Ding, mission complete.]

[Task completed, current rating A-, rewards: 100 Lord Experience, 100 Territory Experience.]

[Congratulations, host, on completing your first Lord Survival Quest. Chat channel now open.]

[Congratulations, host, on completing your first Lord Survival Quest. Item trading functionality is now available.]

As the notification ended, a system panel appeared in front of Zhao Yi.

In addition to the previous attribute panel, there is now a chat channel and an item trading function.

He immediately opened the World Chat channel.

The screen was filled with densely packed text scrolling rapidly.

In the upper right corner of the channel, there is also a string of numbers.

[87325696/100000000]

"So many people died?"

Upon seeing this number, Zhao Yi immediately understood.

The number of selected Earthlings is 1 million, which corresponds exactly to this string of numbers.

However, there are only 87325696 people online in the chat channel right now.

A total of 12674304 people were lost.

This indicates that nearly 1267 million people died in previously relatively safe missions to collect supplies.

The cruelty of the survival world made Zhao Yi's heart tremble, and he became even more vigilant.

This was only the first time; the simplest task of collecting supplies resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people.

"We can't let our guard down just because we survived this time!" Zhao Yi reminded himself.

He looked at the chat content on the screen.

"Oh my god, I survived! Waaah, thank goodness, I didn't die, I'm still alive! I was so scared!"

"Oh my God, this is just too terrible. I want to go home, I want my mom!"

"What did I just see? A centipede as thick as a water vat! If it weren't for my talent of shrinking and spending almost all my time hiding in ant holes, I would probably be dead."

"What was your first survival mission? Was it gathering supplies?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"I'm also collecting supplies!"

"I guess everyone's in the same boat. My mission location is a vast grassland, and I caught a dozen sheep. Where are you all located? It seems this thing has a trading system. Anyone want to trade with me?"

"You guys have such big hearts! After going through something so terrible, you can still come here to chat? You've accepted reality so easily!"

"Is this considered being carefree?"

"Most of the people who couldn't accept it probably died just now. I think there are more than 40 million missing."

"Hahaha, what's there to be afraid of? I think this is not only not scary, but a great opportunity. I dream of time travel. Although this is not time travel, it is almost the same. My talent is to control flames. I will be the future Flame Emperor."

"Pah! What's so great about controlling fire? This is a survival world, and my talent is having a hundred lives! With so many resurrection coins, I'm sure I can complete every survival mission and eventually become the man at the top of the survival world pyramid. By the way, I just got an A- rating, which means I can directly advance to Tier 1 Lord and upgrade my territory to LV1. I'm definitely far ahead!"

"Мы，людиизМедвежьейстраны，низачтонесдадимся! Этоиспытание，посланноенамБогом!"

"우리방자국은무적이다.최강의사람은반드시우리방자국사람이다!"

「たちよ, the strong man of Sakura Flower Country, urgent contactしてくれ. Private chicken bully short Ichiro（キバ・タンイチロウ）だ. I am the world’s tyrant! 」

"What kind of nonsense are those people upstairs spouting?!"

"They seem to be from the bear country, the Korean country, and the cherry blossom country."

"That's right, those little Japanese gadgets are even saying they want to dominate the survival world!"

"Didn't anyone notice the name of that little life? It's absolutely hilarious!!!"

"It seems that everyone on Earth really was randomly selected!"

"What's there to talk about? Let's talk about talent instead, that's what's important!"

"Hmph, I'm the C-rank talent Steel Fist. I just blasted an SUV to pieces with one punch. Aren't you envious!"

"Waaaaah, I'm so envious! My talent is F-rank minor cooling. Damn it, I tried it, and it couldn't even cool a glass of room temperature water. The survival mission just now only gave me the lowest rating, F, and a mere 10 experience points. When will I level up? Will I even be able to do 10 more missions? Waaaaah..."

"Hmph, my talent is a B-level strength enhancement. The survival mission location was an armory, and I killed more than a dozen guards with one punch each. Now I have a lot of weapons. If you need them, bring food to trade with me."

"I have clothes, dozens of designer suits, which I can exchange for food and weapons."

"Everyone should share what they have, so that those who need it can search the chat history and make a transaction."

"The person upstairs is really clever!"

"Great idea!"

"I have three of the latest AI-powered smart voice dolls. Anyone interested?"

"Ugh, kick the people upstairs out."

Hundreds of millions of people chimed in, and the chat channel was flooded with content.
