Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level Drop Rate with Abundant Resources

"My name is Taichu."

Shen Xi directly revealed her identity.

"Gu Jia, is your neck clean?"

That one short sentence shocked everyone.

The regional channel was silent for a few seconds, then instantly became a sensation.

[Regional Channel - Kyoto Ruins Arena]

"Holy crap!!! Is Tai Chu declaring war on the Gu family?!"

"This isn't a declaration of war, it's...it's a challenge! A blatant challenge!"

"What kind of power does the Gu family have? One of the four great families of Kyoto! How dare he, alone..."

"You forgot? He just killed Jin Buhuan with a single axe strike! Jin Buhuan was a member of the Jin family, and he didn't even blink when he killed him!"

"That's because Jin Buhuan is alone! The Gu family isn't just Jin Buhuan! Gu Yunting is leading seventy or eighty people in the instance, and the Gu family alone has over a hundred participants!"

"So what if there are hundreds of people? Tai Chu is number one on the China region's level ranking! A hidden class at level 20!"

"So what if he's number one on the rankings? Two fists can't fight four hands! The Gu family has over a hundred members; they could drown him with a single spit from each of them!"

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! I side with the Primordial God!"

Shen Xi was too lazy to read those comments anymore.

He glanced at the points leaderboard.

1rd Place: Lord Wu'an – 1321 points

2th Place: Gu Yunting – 1054 points

3th place: Na Luo - 978 points

4st Place: Taichu – 847 points

5th Place: Helian Tieshu – 833 points

They are still more than 100 points behind third place.

But he no longer intends to pursue them by killing rotting corpses.

Now that it's been exposed, let's go all out.

"Mingying," Shen Xi said.

Mingying stepped forward, the Lion Wall encased in his left arm, the Asura Spear resting diagonally on his shoulder, his two-meter-tall skeletal body resembling a mobile fortress.

"From now on, we won't kill the rotting corpses anymore." Shen Xi shouldered the Pangu Axe, making up his mind, "We'll focus on hunting the four major families."

Shen Xi suddenly realized something. She reopened the regional channel:

"Anyone who helps the Gu family is an enemy of me, Taichu!"

Mingying's current ranking.

47nd Place: Mingying – 312 points

"Too low." Shen Xi shook her head, her voice full of disdain. "A dignified Asura can't even make it into the top ten. It's shameful."

This is also because Mingying is not good at speaking; otherwise, she would have argued her case a few times.

Meanwhile, at the Kyoto Convention Center.

The audience was silent for a moment, then erupted into a deafening roar!

"He's gone mad! He's gone mad!"

"He actually threatened anyone who dared to help the Gu family! He's gone mad."

……

In the audience, Gu Tianxin's face was already very ugly.

His hands gripped the chair armrests tightly, his knuckles white and veins bulging.

"The Beginning..." he spat out the words through gritted teeth, "You...you're asking for death..."

Just then, a cold voice came from the side.

"Gu Tianxin".

Gu Tianxin suddenly turned her head.

Jin Mantang, the head of the Jin family, was staring intently at him, his fat face filled with rage.

"Did you hear what he just said?" Jin Mantang's voice trembled, not from fear, but from anger. "Gu Tianxin, your Gu family caused this mess, why must my Jin family be dragged down with you?!"

Before Gu Tianxin could speak, Na Yuan on the other side also spoke.

Na Yuan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice carrying a chilling undertone:

"Patriarch Gu, that Tai Chu killed your son and grandson in Starshine City; that was a personal vendetta for your Gu family. Now he's setting fire to this place, and my people are going to suffer too? How are we going to settle this score?"

Helian Batian suddenly stood up, his massive body like an iron tower, staring down at Gu Tianxin:

"Gu Tianxin! How many things have you been hiding from us? Who exactly is this Tai Chu? Why did he want to kill your son? Explain yourself!"

The three family heads stared intently at Gu Tianxin.

Gu Tianxin sat in the chair, motionless.

His face went from ashen to pale.

Who was the beginning? How would he know!

Finally, he laughed in exasperation.

"The Beginning..." Gu Tianxin murmured, "Do you think you can still run rampant in Kyoto like you did in Starshine City?"

He looked up at Shen Xi on the screen.

"Kyoto is not a place like Starshine City." Gu Tianxin's voice gradually calmed down. "My Gu family has been operating here for over a hundred years. You, a wild brat who appeared out of nowhere, dare to challenge me?"

He turned to look at Jin Mantang, Na Yuan, and Helian Batian.

"The three of you, what I said earlier still stands." His voice was calm, but his eyes grew increasingly crazed. "The four great families are all of one mind. Tai Chu killed Jin Buhuan, which was a slap in the face to the Jin family. If he wants to deal with my Gu family, you will be next."

Gu Tianxin continued, "Who do you think the military will help? In the military's eyes, all four of our families are stumbling blocks. If Tai Chu kills our people, the military will only applaud."

He pointed to Shen Xi's figure on the screen:

"Only by joining forces can we survive."

The three family heads exchanged glances, each seeing hesitation in the other's eyes.

On the other side of the stands is a military-only area.

The elderly man, over seventy years old, leaned back in his chair, staring at the silver-gray figure on the screen, a slow smile creeping onto his lips.

That smile stunned the major generals standing next to him.

"Old commander, you..." a major general tentatively began.

The old man waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Interesting." The old man leaned back in his chair. "This Primordial One is quite interesting."

A major general standing nearby frowned: "Sir, this man openly challenged the Gu family during the competition. Won't that affect our plans?"

"Impact?" The old man chuckled. "Welcome to the fantasy world of science fiction! The entrance is here:"

The major generals exchanged glances, none of them understanding what the old man meant.

The old man pointed at the screen, his voice filled with delight:

"Think about it, what kind of power does the Gu family have? One of the four great families of Kyoto, deeply entrenched and intricately connected. If we want to take them down, even if we win, we'll pay a considerable price. But now..."

His smile widened.

"Right now, there's some crazy lunatic who's got no guts, pointing his finger at the Gu family and cursing them in front of over 100,000 people. Tell me, how does that old hag Gu Tianxin feel right now?"

A major general suddenly realized: "You mean, let Taichu fight the Gu family first, and we can reap the benefits?"

The old man shook his head: "No, it's not about reaping the benefits without lifting a finger. It's... about using someone else to do the dirty work."

He paused, his voice low:

"This Tai Chu was able to uproot Gu Zhengxiong in Xinghui City and do so many unreasonable things. This kind of person is not a madman, but a true strongman. He dares to openly challenge the Gu family, so he must have his reasons."

He turned around and looked at the major generals:

"Pass down the order: the military should not provoke Taichu. If he fights with the Gu family, we... will just watch the show, or perhaps offer assistance."

"yes!"

Several major generals responded in unison.

Inside the instance.

Shen Xi carried the Pangu Axe and walked slowly through the ruins.

He was unaware that his words had already caused an uproar outside.

But now he needs to improve Mingying's ranking.

At the far end of the ruins, several figures could be vaguely seen moving around.

He narrowed his eyes, and his all-seeing vision instantly opened.

Golden light swirled in his eyes, and the information panels of those people appeared.

A family-oriented person.

All three were ordinary players at levels 11 or 12, with average equipment and low scores.

Shen Xi shook her head.

Killing such a minor character won't earn you many points and is a waste of time.

Just as he was about to go around it, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He stopped and turned on the regional channel.

"Gu Yunting".

"I'm too lazy to kill your people. They're too weak, and killing them won't earn me any points."

"If you want points, come find me yourself."

"I'm... wait, let me see where I am."

He looked up and glanced at the surrounding buildings, then continued:

"I'm in the North District, under that leaning TV tower. Come, I'll be waiting for you."

After saying that, he turned off the channel, leaned against a broken stone pillar, stuck the Pangu Axe at his feet, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes to rest.

The regional channel exploded again.

"This is insane! Is Tai Chu just waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?"

"Is he just waiting for Gu Yunting to bring people to find him?"

"This is a trap, isn't it? It's definitely a trap!"

"So what if it's a trap? Gu Yunting has seventy or eighty men with him. Do you think he's afraid of just one person?"

"Lord Wu'an just said he's going all out to kill the people from the four great families. If Gu Yunting leads his men to find Taichu, will Lord Wu'an take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"

"This is fucking... Tai Chu is playing a grand game!"

Shen Xi didn't read those comments.

He was just waiting.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the ruins.

Gu Yunting stood on the roof of a half-collapsed office building, his face ashen.

He had just seen what Tai Chu had said.

Naked humiliation!

He is the most promising young member of the Gu family, ranked ninth on the Kyoto ranking list, and possesses the hidden class [Sword Heart] at level 13.

In Tai Chu's words, he became a piece of trash.

"Young Master Gu," a trusted aide of the Gu family asked cautiously from behind, "Should we...go or not?"

Gu Yunting did not answer.

He just stared intently into the distance, hesitating whether or not to go.

At that moment, another message popped up in the regional channel.

This time, it's not the beginning.

It's a different name.

[Regional Channel - Helian Tieshu]: "Tai Chu, if you want an opponent, come find me! Stop playing tricks! I'm waiting for you at the North District Slaughterhouse! Anyone who doesn't come is a coward!"

Shen Xi replied almost instantly.

"I'm busy. I'm waiting for someone from the Gu family. If you want to call, get in line."

Helian Tieshu: "Fuck you! I'm coming to find you right now!"

Shen Xi: "Suit yourself. But I'm warning you, if you're looking for death, I won't stop you."

North District, beneath the leaning TV tower.

Shen Xi leaned against the broken stone pillar, closing her eyes to rest.

In the distance, the faint sound of heavy footsteps could be heard.

It wasn't just one person.

It belongs to many people.

Shen Xi did not open her eyes.

"They're here."

The footsteps grew closer.

It's getting heavier and heavier.

Finally, a rough voice boomed through the ruins:

"Primordial! You fucking get out here!"

Shen Xi opened her eyes.

At the end of the ruins, a huge figure was walking towards him.

He was at least 1.9 meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body. His bare upper body was covered only by an animal skin vest, and he held a huge double-edged battle axe in his hand, with fresh black blood still on the blade.

Helian Iron Tree.

Behind him were at least thirty or forty members of the He family.

Vast and imposing, filled with murderous intent.

Shen Xi looked at him, then at the people behind him, and shook her head.

"I told you, I'm waiting for someone from the Gu family. If you're in a hurry, let Mingying keep you company."

Helian Tieshu was taken aback: "Mingying? Who is Mingying?"

Before he could finish speaking...

A dark figure darted out from the side of the ruins!
