Two Realms: The Dark Wizard Evolves Madly in the Wasteland

The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting a narrow strip of light on the floor.

Raven sat up in bed feeling refreshed. He stretched, and his bones cracked with a series of crisp sounds.

After a night's rest, his mental state reached its peak; even the mental tentacles in his mind were smooth, clearly having been nourished.

He put on his bathrobe and had just stepped into the living room when he heard heavy, resentful footsteps coming from the bedroom.

"Pat...pat..."

Li Jing limped out of the bedroom.

Her low-cut short-sleeved shirt was wrinkled, and the hem of her super-short denim shorts was ripped.

The most alarming thing was her legs; her two long, wheat-colored legs were trembling slightly.

"Thunder! Clear! Water!"

Li Jing gripped the door frame tightly with both hands, her bloodshot eyes practically spitting fire.

"You... what the hell kind of superhuman are you?"

"What kind of sensory-type superhuman has three arms?"

Li Jing grew angrier and more aggrieved the more she thought about it. They had clearly agreed that it would only happen once, but she ended up being beaten and pinned down all night.

That fierce and tough spirit that belongs to a tomboy instantly erupted.

She was about to get angry.

A tearing, aching pain shot through her inner thigh, causing her to gasp and stumble back onto the sofa, leaning against the wall.

Raven slowly poured himself a glass of warm water, took a sip, and then raised his eyelids, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Captain Li, that's not right."

Raven put down his water glass.

"Didn't you like it a lot last night? Towards the end, you were the one crying and begging me..."

"I……"

Li Jing's face flushed red instantly, all the way to the roots of her neck.

The absurd and bizarre images from last night flooded her mind instantly, making her tremble with anger, yet she was unable to refute them.

"You're talking nonsense!"

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anger, her eyes flickered, and suddenly changed the subject:

"Whatever... we're even now!"

Li Jing turned to leave, limping, but Lei Wen grabbed her around the waist, picked her up, and threw her onto the bed.

"What are you doing?"

"Since you can't walk, I'll give you a massage..."

"Huh! Isn't this a massage? Why... are you taking your clothes off?"

……

Four hours later.

A black SUV drove out of the manor and sped off towards the outer city.

Li Jing sat in the passenger seat, her legs dangling below the dashboard, occasionally rubbing her sore thighs, and analyzed the situation in the outer city to Raven with a displeased expression.

Although she has been slacking off for the past six months, she still has an exceptionally clear understanding of the situation in Happiness City.

"Those so-called superhumans in the inner ring are, to put it bluntly, a bunch of hothouse flowers. Most of them are produced by their family resources and have almost zero practical combat experience. If it really comes down to it, they're not even as good as the mutated wild dogs in the outer city."

"If you want to find truly capable superhumans, you can only go to the outer city. It's a mixed bag, full of gangs, and all sorts of people there, but the truly skilled ones are all there."

She lowered her voice, her tone serious: "Since you want to obtain gene serum from the Federation, besides taking on ordinary hunting and escort missions, the best way is to establish your own mercenary team and take on large-scale information exploration missions."

Raven raised an eyebrow: "Oh? How so?"

"Gene agents, especially high-level gene agents, are absolute strategic resources of the Federation and are subject to extremely strict control."

Li Jing explained, "For ordinary tasks, even if you work yourself to the bone for a year, the contribution points you earn will only be enough to buy a few basic enhancement potions."

She paused, then continued, "But large-scale exploration missions are different. Those missions usually involve relics from the old era, unknown contaminated areas, such as the abandoned experimental bases of the Huangshan Research Institute. The Federation offers extremely generous rewards for these missions, including not only a large number of contribution points, but also the possibility of directly rewarding undisclosed gene serums..."

"The most important thing is to collect data on lost civilizations!"

"Of course, there is another way, which is if you are an extremely rare telekinetic superhuman. Such people are extremely rare, and any superhuman who awakens telekinesis will be treated like a treasure by the Federation!"

"However, telekinetic superhumans are a secondary evolution of sensory superhumans, making them extremely rare—perhaps one in a hundred thousand!"

As she said this, Li Jing blushed, inexplicably recalling someone's third hand from last night—smooth, sticky… and a few guesses began to form in her mind.

Li Jing had many questions about Lei Wen, but the other party had no intention of speaking up.

She wouldn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets. Having been a mercenary for so many years, she understood that everyone in this wasteland had a different path of evolution.

"Boom!"

Li Jing glanced at Lei Wen, who was sitting in the back row with his legs crossed, eyes closed, pretending to doze off, and felt a surge of anger rising within her.

She just couldn't understand it. She clearly didn't want to come... but the other person praised her a couple of times, and she inexplicably took the initiative to drive. Thinking about this, Li Jing felt extremely regretful.

She grabbed the seatbelt, tightened it sharply, and slammed on the gas.

If the inner ring of Happiness City is a paradise for the rich, then the outer city is an abandoned purgatory.

Under the hazy sky, the incessant acid rain had been falling for three whole days, washing over the dilapidated sheds and turning the narrow streets into stinking ditches.

Even so, the outer city of Happiness City is hundreds of times better than the wilderness. Thieves caught violating the rules of Happiness City are simply thrown into the garbage dump.

At night, special patrolmen will drag them to the cockroach factory to be processed into energy blocks and sold to residents of the outer city.

Just then, at a heavily flooded intersection ahead, several hunched-over, soaking wet figures came into Raven's view.

They were two men wearing black raincoats and with single-barreled shotguns at their waists.

They held several rough hemp ropes in their hands, and at the other end of the ropes were tied a string of women and children, dressed in tattered clothes and almost naked. The women and children had black branding marks on their necks and ring-shaped electronic locks around their necks.

Most of these women were fairly good-looking, but their skin was a bit rough. They had to crawl on all fours and could only be pulled along by the men like cattle.

They stumbled forward through the muddy water, their steps uneven.

The man then led the group of women into a hotel called Bangkok Sea.

"Bangkok Seaview Hotel?"

Raven raised an eyebrow.

"A silver nest..."

Li Jing spat.

"Those beasts from the Red Wolf Mercenary Group, you know what kind of services they offer. I've heard a lot of rich people from the inner ring eat there... and what they love most is bragging about how tender and fair-skinned the kids are, saying they taste much better than synthetic steaks!"

Raven withdrew his gaze, and the image of the wizards at Norlan Wizarding Academy, dressed in black robes, spending their days researching how to extract souls and studying the truth, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
