"And now, we're encountering so many Exotic Beasts on Earth, and nearly all of them are at the Ordinary Stage!"

"There's no need to elaborate on the cost-effectiveness, which is already far superior to the risk of courting death by entering the Origin Land to obtain Evolution Resources!"

"Everyone should cherish this opportunity to obtain a massive amount of Evolution Resources with minimal risk!"

"Take this chance to soar to new heights and change your life!"

The deputy director of academic affairs was shouting loudly, instilling every student present with frenzied encouragement.

The students were initially somewhat panicked, but after hearing the deputy director's words, they were suddenly all filled with excitement and eagerness in their eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen sincerely admired the deputy director on the Martial Stage.

Just a simple speech had turned the students, who originally harbored fear, into a group surging with passion.

Soon.

Under the arrangement of the deputy director,

a convoy of nearly 2000 people, carried by 40 buses, left Shanhai University at great speed and headed straight for the city center.

...

About half an hour later.

The bus that Lin Zichen was on arrived at the outskirts of the city center first.

The moment the bus stopped,

the High Level Experts aboard swiftly disembarked and formed teams to head towards the Scarlet Giant Tree.

To rescue any fellow compatriots encountered along the way.

And to kill every Giant Mutant Rat they encountered en route.

When everyone had disembarked,

the deputy director, acting as team leader, said seriously, "We are among the few High Level Experts, capable of holding down a fort by ourselves, it's too wasteful to move together."

"We'll disperse and operate solo, trying to broaden the rescue scope and improve rescue efficiency as much as possible."

"But be mindful of your capability, don't get entangled by too many Giant Mutant Rats at the same time."

"Though the individual strength of the Giant Mutant Rats is not strong, their advantage is in numbers, and if you get entangled by too many at once, there is a certain danger."

After saying this, the deputy director waved his hand grandly, "Begin the operation!"

The moment the words were spoken, everyone immediately dispersed.

Without a single unnecessary word from beginning to end.

Decisive in action.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan also chose to go their separate ways.

But not too far, only a few hundred meters apart.

At such a short distance, if Shen Qinghan encountered any trouble, Lin Zichen could rush over to rescue her in time.

...

"Boom—!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow burst forth from the soil, charging towards Shen Qinghan at high speed.

It was a Giant Mutant Rat with eight eyes.

Its Biological Level wasn't high, only Ordinary Eighth Order, far from being a match for Shen Qinghan.

But, it was Shen Qinghan's first time facing an Exotic Beast alone, and she couldn't help feeling slightly nervous.

However, nervous as she was, she didn't shy away from the charging Giant Mutant Rat.

As the Giant Mutant Rat rushed towards her and opened its vast mouth to bite down,

her eyes hardened, her Qi-Blood erupted, and she threw a fierce punch directly at the rat's head!

"Thump—!"

A muffled impact noise sounded.

The nearly seven-meter-long Giant Mutant Rat was instantly blown apart by a delicate fist, with red and white innards splattering everywhere.

It was so disgusting… Shen Qinghan looked at the blood splattered on her and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Then she immediately focused her mind and, using the liquid manipulation ability of the "Blue Spirit Jellyfish King," cleared all the Giant Mutant Rat's blood from her body.

After doing that,

Shen Qinghan once again focused her thoughts, extracting all the fresh blood from the Giant Mutant Rat's body, condensing it into a drop of Essence Blood that floated above her.

She then took a plastic bottle, no bigger than a little finger, out of her pocket, unscrewed the cap, and collected the floating drop of Essence Blood inside.

As for the Giant Mutant Rat's carcass on the ground, drained of Essence Blood and reduced to a stinking husk, she didn't even spare it a glance and simply walked past it and onward.

This was a technique taught to her by Yuan Dongzhi—how to collect trophies.

The bodies of Exotic Beasts are overwhelmingly huge in most cases.

Carrying the carcasses away is very troublesome.

Even if you don't mind the hassle and insist on carrying them, you can't carry many.

And when you can't carry away the carcasses, you can use this method of extracting Essence Blood to take away all the most valuable blood from the beasts' bodies.

If it is a High Level or higher Exotic Beast, you can also take an additional Beast Core with you.

Taking both the Essence Blood and the Beast Core is basically squeezing every last bit of value out of an Exotic Beast's carcass.

...

Meanwhile.

Continue your adventure at мѵʟ

Lin Zichen's way of taking the spoils of battle was even cruder and more direct than Shen Qinghan's.

He simply punched the Giant Mutant Rat to death and then used [Survival of the Fittest] to devour it, consuming all the Life Origin contained within the corpse, leaving nothing behind.

[You have devoured a large amount of "Giant Mutant Rat"s Life Origin]

[Giant Rat Manual: 100%]

At the moment these two pieces of text appeared, a Giant Mutant Rat with eight eyes gradually materialized out of the void, burrowing through the barren hard soil.

In just a few seconds, the Giant Mutant Rat had dug a bottomless hole.

The speed of excavation was terrifyingly fast.

Shortly thereafter, the image in the void faded, and it was replaced by two new pieces of text.

[You have successfully unlocked the Giant Rat Manual, obtaining the Biometric Attributes—Burrowing Instinct]

[Burrowing Instinct: Your ability to break through the soil is significantly enhanced]

Lin Zichen took a glance at the effects of the [Burrowing Instinct] Biometric Attribute, and seeing that it was just a skill for digging holes, he shook his head in disdain.

The [Burrowing Instinct] Biometric Attribute was the most rubbish one he had acquired through the [Survival of the Fittest] ability provided by the system.

"Buzz—!"

Suddenly, a piercing boom of air exploded violently in the high sky.

The noise grew louder and louder.

Clearly, something was rapidly approaching.

Lin Zichen, hearing the noise, looked up at the sky.

What immediately caught his eye was a Mechanically Modified Human with more than half of its body metallic, speeding through the high sky.

This Mechanically Modified Human had turned the anti-airflow propulsion device up to maximum power, and in an instant, flew to Lin Zichen's front and descended, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

As the dust settled,

a tall, long-haired woman Mechanically Modified Human with an energy core implanted in her chest appeared within Lin Zichen's sight, her demeanor icy cold.

With just one look, Lin Zichen recognized this Mechanically Modified Woman.

It was none other than the mechanical genius girl he had watched grow up on TV since he was a child.

Now she couldn't be called a girl anymore.

She should be referred to as a mature lady.

Because she was nearly 1.7 meters tall, with her front and back covered in metallic materials, the semi-circular curves rounded and voluptuous, and with her long, straight legs, she looked extremely sexy.

She had the beauty of a punk Cyberpunk.

"May I help you?"

Lin Zichen asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at the mechanical genius who had suddenly landed in front of him.

He had never had any contact with the mechanical genius, and they were not acquainted at all. He didn't understand what the mechanical genius girl wanted to do.

"Um... my name is Lü Qingyu, I've always admired you a lot, may I get to know you?"

Lü Qingyu, the mechanical genius girl, said with her cheeks slightly reddened.

"What?"

Lin Zichen was momentarily stunned, not expecting her to say such a thing.

Lü Qingyu explained, "Ever since you became the Newcomer King of Shan University, I've been following you. I think you are very amazing and also handsome, and then I became a fan of you, thinking of you every night before I sleep."

Is that admiration?

It sounded more like adoration.

Lin Zichen commented inwardly.

After the inner comment, he was incredibly astonished.

He could never have dreamed that the mechanical genius girl he had watched on the television screen for so long had actually become one of his little fans.

"How about we add each other on WeChat? I have many questions I'd like to ask you for advice."

Lü Qingyu said, lifting her right arm and pressing something on the back of her hand as she spoke.

Lin Zichen wasn't very keen on adding her and declined politely, "My phone is out of battery, maybe we can add each other next time."

Lü Qingyu said, "No need, I've already added you on WeChat, I can even see your Moments now."

Lin Zichen was a bit bewildered, "Added me?"

Lü Qingyu smiled and said, "I just hacked into your phone, logged into your WeChat and added myself as your friend. I approved it from my end, and then we were connected."

"Oh, I see," Lin Zichen was somewhat at a loss for words for a moment.

Just then, Shen Qinghan, who was hundreds of meters away, ran over and affectionately hooked Lin Zichen's arm, asking curiously, "What are you two talking about?"

In fact, Shen Qinghan had heard the entire conversation between Lin Zichen and the mechanical genius girl just now.

She came over to declare her territory in front of the mechanical genius girl.

"Nothing much," Lü Qingyu said with a smile, looking towards Lin Zichen. "I'll talk to you after the rescue is over."

With that, she activated her anti-airflow propulsion device and immediately took off.

She flew away.

The Three-Eyed Giant, three meters tall!

The Three-Eyed Giant suddenly leapt into the air, splitting the mechanical genius girl in half.
