[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Level 7 recipe: Garlic Shrimp Tails.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained an eighth-level recipe: Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Level 9 recipe: Dry-Fried Potato Slices.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Level 10 recipe: Spicy Shrimp in Chili Oil.]

[Congratulations, host! The stroller can be upgraded again. Would you like to upgrade now?]

Hearing this series of notification sounds, Ruan Tian felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She smiled with satisfaction; this was truly a gift from heaven!

It can't be called a gift from heaven. Ruan Tian is very grateful to Li Canhua. If it weren't for Li Canhua, she wouldn't have been able to upgrade the stroller so quickly.

"We'll postpone the upgrade until tonight."

I wonder what the stroller will look like after it evolves again?

Ruan Tian was extremely excited and couldn't wait to see what the upgraded stroller would look like.

And with so many recipes unlocked, as long as I stay in the survivor base, wouldn't I be able to level up indefinitely?!

The zombies are for others to fight, while you can level up indefinitely.

Is there anything more awesome in the world?

But soon, the system shattered Ruan Tian's beautiful fantasy.

[Host, after level 10, the experience required to upgrade the cart will double, and the difficulty of upgrading will increase infinitely.]

Ruan Tian's beautiful fantasy was shattered in an instant.

She frowned, asking the system in disbelief:

"What? The experience required to level up has doubled?"

Yes, this is an order from above to prevent the host from leveling up too quickly, and it has nothing to do with me, the system developer.

Ruan Tian's dream of making money while lying down has been completely shattered, but she is still unwilling to give up.

"Why is it so easy for me to get through the first ten levels, but so difficult after level ten?"

[Naturally, this is because before level ten, there is a protection period for the host to prevent death. Now that the host has reached level ten, they have basic self-protection capabilities, and the novice protection period has ended.]

Ruan Tian was speechless. The leveling up was so easy because of the newbie protection period.

She was speechless!

However, Ruan Tian quickly cheered up, thinking that no one could predict what would happen in the future, and things would work themselves out.

She wasn't in a hurry; her naturally optimistic personality meant that Ruan Tian never got discouraged when facing difficulties.

Just as Ruan Tian was about to continue selling food, someone suddenly walked out from the crowd.

This man was very big, with clenched fists and lifeless eyes.

Upon seeing this large man, everyone retreated as if they had seen a plague god.

He walked up to Ruan Tian and said, "Come with me. Madam specifically requests to see you."

lady?

Ruan Tian also really wanted to see the lady, but she had never had the opportunity.

Seeing that an opportunity had come, Ruan Tian became excited and immediately packed up her stall.

“Alright, I’ll go with you to see Madam.”

The others fell silent, and the previously lively atmosphere vanished without a trace.

Everyone knows very well what kind of personality the lady has.

As an outsider, Ruan Tian had never seen the Madam angry before. Once she had, she would know just how terrifying the Madam could be.

Standing outside the crowd, Li Canhua finally witnessed the scene she had been eagerly anticipating, and she was overjoyed.

She knew that the madam wouldn't let Ruan Tian, ​​such a variable, stay in the base.

It was something Li Canhua had expected that the lady would summon Ruan Tian.

"Heh, Ruan Tian, ​​you brought this trouble upon yourself. Madam will absolutely not tolerate you."

Ruan Tian was unaware of what Li Canhua was thinking. She happily followed behind the big man, ready to see who the lady was.

Led by the big guy, Ruan Tian arrived at the most luxurious apartment building.

The survivor base in City C was built in an upscale apartment complex.

The lady herself occupied the largest and most luxurious apartment all by herself...

Yet not a single official in the entire court dared to speak out!

These survivors were all afraid of the lady's supernatural abilities; otherwise, there would definitely have been a few hotheads who stood up to criticize her.

The big guy led Ruan Tian to the top floor of the apartment building, and in the innermost room, Ruan Tian finally met the lady.

The lady looked very similar to Bai Chulan. She was elegant, but her complexion was poor, and she was in a wheelchair.

She turned around, saw Ruan Tian coming, smiled and waved to Ruan Tian, ​​her voice very gentle:

"You must be Ruan Tian, ​​come over here and let me see you."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian walked up to the lady and looked at her as the lady observed her.

So far, Ruan Tian's first impression of the lady is quite good. Isn't she just a very gentle woman who seems a bit sickly?

They don't seem threatening at all; I really don't know why those people are afraid.

The lady seemed perfectly normal.

And he doesn't seem like the crazy person who would put a dog collar around his son's neck!

Could it be that I'm misinterpreting things?

The lady looked Ruan Tian up and down, then chuckled softly.

How did you and Chu Lan meet?

Ruan Tian naturally couldn't reveal that Bai Chulan had secretly escaped; she only gave a brief account of what had happened.

She is not good at lying, and her speech is unclear. Because she is hiding something, her words are incoherent.

The lady rubbed her fingers together, staring intently at Ruan Tian: "Miss Ruan, I don't want to waste our time together."

Ruan Tian looked at the lady innocently: "Madam, you must believe me! I'm telling the truth!"

The lady smiled faintly and remained silent. Her pupils gradually turned white, and then she suddenly looked up, staring intently into Ruan Tian's eyes!

She spoke, enunciating each word clearly: "I command you to tell me everything you know now."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian blinked innocently, even raising her hand to scratch her chin, and asked cautiously:

"Madam, do you have cataracts? Or is your special ability cosplay? Your eyes look like you're wearing colored contact lenses."

lady:"……"

She frowned, and her eyes had turned completely white.

"How is that possible? My superpower has never failed before. What ability do you have that could make my superpower fail?"

The lady, unconvinced, turned her attention back to the large man and commanded:

"Kneel down."

Upon hearing this, the big guy obediently knelt at the lady's feet, much like a well-behaved dog.

“My superpower is fine, so the problem lies with you.”

The lady sneered; she knew Bai Chulan wouldn't bring back a useless woman.

She sensed danger emanating from Ruan Tian.

Ruan Tian is no simple woman!
