Sister, can I be the scabbard too?

A moment later, Lin Yuan put on the [Sun Underpants] and switched from Lin Yuan Donkey Demon Mode to Lin Yuan Gentleman Mode.

"Awooo (pervert...)" Black Moon muttered.

"What did you say?" Lin Yuan looked at her.

"Awoo~ (I'm talking about the great MASTER~)" Senior Black Moon smiled.

Waaah, I didn't want this to happen either.

If it weren't for the transformation, or for increasing favorability...

Lin Yuan ignored her, picked up the clothes of the two car thieves, and put them on.

His original clothes had all been burned away by the flames, so he had to wear these to avoid running naked.

"Hmm? My body seems to have become stronger." Lin Yuan then realized that his originally weak body, which was that of a small-town test-taker, had developed clear muscle lines.

While not as muscular as those in the gym, he's still someone who looks slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.

【Great host, you have descended from the heavens and have fully mastered the superpower: Black Sun Flame.】

The system's voice came to his ears. Lin Yuan opened his palm, and a ball of black and red flame swayed in his hand.

"Awoo? (Is this your special ability?)" Senior Black Moon leaned closer: "Awoo~ (I sense an ominous feeling about this~)"

"Hmm... how strong is it?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then bent down and aimed at a rock.

The next instant, black and red flames enveloped the stone.

The stone melted, decomposed, and disappeared into dust at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only the flames of the black sun remained, burning fiercely on the ground.

"Awoo (This destructive power... is too amazing.)" Senior Black Moon murmured, her body trembling slightly.

You should know that stones are non-flammable!

But Lin Yuan's flames could annihilate even stones...

You're telling me this is fire?

Thinking about this, Senior Sister Heiyue couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

What if Lin Yuan really loses his mind one day and decides to set my hair on fire...?

"Don't worry, Senior Black Moon, I would never hurt you." Lin Yuan patted Senior Dog's shoulder and revealed a sunny and cheerful smile.

For some reason, seeing that smile made Senior Black Moon even more afraid.

Just then, the system's voice sounded again.

[Black Sun Flame is a growth-type ability that will improve as your rank increases.]

[Besides its terrifying destructive power, the Black Sun Flame can also enhance your physical fitness, mental strength, and SAN value by allowing you to absorb pollutants through contact.]

"It's even a prestigious, growth-type ability! That's amazing!" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

"However, contact with and absorption of pollutants... what kind of pollutants are you referring to?"

"Given the nature of this system... it must contain something harmful to the human body, right?"

"Hmm, never mind, I'll stop thinking about it now. Anyway, I've finally stepped into the extraordinary realm."

Looking at the flame in his hand, he felt that he had taken another big step closer to becoming a superhero.

"Hmm, it's about time. Let me see what the store will have today."

The system's points mall refreshes every day at midnight.

There are three items available for purchase each day.

Lin Yuan opened the online store, and the first item caught his eye.

BRICS

Price: 100 points

Each piece of material needed in alchemy weighs one kilogram.

A rare metal indispensable to the development of human civilization, but when the apocalypse arrives and the ancient gods rise again, its value will be less than that of a bottle of clean water.

Lin Yuan: ...

How come gold bricks are so easy to obtain?

Is this some kind of freebie item used to fill out the gacha pool?

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable absurdity.

Gold, which countless mortals regard as a treasure, is the lowest of items in his eyes.

He shook his head, bought it, and looked at the second item that appeared in the refresh.

【The Crystallization of a Brilliant Soul (Tier 2)】

Price: 5000 points.

[Effect: This is an essential item for extraordinary individuals to break through from Tier 1 to Tier 2.]

"Holy crap, I can level up again so quickly?"

Lin Yuan was greatly surprised and immediately bought it.

His points also decreased from 7900 to 2800.

After receiving it, Lin Yuan wanted to use it, but he frowned.

[Usage conditions not met.]

[For an extraordinary individual to advance from Tier 1 to Tier 2, they need 3000 SAN points, +500% physical attributes, and +200% mental strength.]

"There are also conditions for using it." Lin Yuan played with the crystal in his hand, finally understanding the system's mechanism.

Simply put, you need to improve your body's various stats through daily practice and tasks.

Then, through the use of crystals, one can achieve extraordinary advancement.

His current SAN value is 2500, physical fitness +360%, and mental strength +100%. He is actually not much different from meeting the requirements for advancing to the second tier.

"Just do more tasks, two or three days should be enough."

Lin Yuan felt relieved and continued to look at the third item.

[Unique Level 1 Mission Scroll.]

Price: 1 points.

[Effect: This is a scroll that records a unique mission.]

"I didn't expect there to be mission scrolls in the store."

This was the first time Lin Yuan had ever seen such a product.

Fortunately, this scroll only costs 1 point, so there's not much to consider.

With a thought, the mission scroll appeared in his hand.

You have obtained a unique level 1 quest scroll.

[Great host, pay attention, pay attention, pay attention! I'll say it three times because it's important.]

This mission scroll records a unique task that could trigger a butterfly effect and change human history.

To accept this mission, you need at least the strength of the second level of the Extraordinary Realm.

This mission scroll will automatically destroy itself after 18 hours and 35 minutes.

By then, you will never be able to trigger this quest and change history.

After the system voice stopped, a countdown appeared in front of Lin Yuan's eyes.

【18:35:24】

【18:35:23】

【18:35:22】

"Damn, no wonder it only costs 1 point, there's a time limit for accepting it."

Lin Yuan was speechless for a moment: "However, if a second-tier transcendent can take it, then I'm not far off."

Originally, Lin Yuan planned to upgrade gradually.

But now the situation has changed.

Fortunately, he has already awakened the [Black Sun Flame].

You can try interacting with [polluted things] to increase your strength.

"But it determines the fate of humanity..." Lin Yuan unconsciously rested his chin on his hand.

Anxiety gradually rose in his heart.

Is this system really just bugged?

Without realizing it, he took out his phone and opened Fetion.

He breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that Bai Wuchang hadn't sent him any more messages.

Then I opened my phone's photo album and found a picture of myself with Bai Wuchang (the White Impermanence).

That was a photo he took with Bai Wuchang at the school gate when he entered university.

"That's weird, why did I suddenly think of that perverted, lolicon magical girl?"

.........

【18:35:01】

【18:35:00】

【18:34:59】

Inside the federal military's underground facility.

Bai Wuchang sat in the rest room, with a countdown clock in front of him.

She placed her hand on the lit phone screen and typed a long string of words into Lin Yuan's chat box.

But after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't click send, and instead deleted it word by word.

Afterwards, she opened her phone's photo album and found a photo of herself and Lin Yuan at the university gate, her pupils flashing.

Just then, the door to the lounge opened, and Tang Ling'er rushed in:

"White Impermanence!"

"How many times have I told you students to call yourselves 'teacher' when you're outside!" Bai Wuchang looked at her helplessly, then locked his phone with a guilty conscience.

"We'll talk about these things later!" Tang Ling'er quickly shook her head.

"Are you going to participate in the Rift Exploration quest in 18 hours?"

"Yes." Bai Wuchang nodded.

"Are you crazy? The other side of the crack is... um." Tang Ling'er said, but clutched her heart:

"Anyway, you're in danger, do you understand?"

Tang Ling'er was very puzzled when she first saw Bai Wuchang.

Why didn't Bai Wuchang appear in Lin Yuan's story after the apocalypse?

Why did this person, who was so important to Lin Yuan, disappear into thin air?

Just now, she learned that Bai Wuchang was going to participate in the first human investigation inside the seam.

Eighteen hours later, humanity will step into another world for the first time and face the unknown for the first time.

How dangerous is this?

And a terrible idea was born in her mind.

Could it be that Bai Wuchang disappeared because he went missing during this investigation into the gaps?
