Chapter 2 I became the group's favorite by arm wrestling, so what did I awaken...
【This world is on the verge of destruction.】
【From some unknown day, a global blood-red fog enveloped the earth. Since then, natural disasters have struck, strange beasts have run rampant, and humans, whose technology has been blocked, have gradually fallen to the bottom of the food chain. After the city was destroyed, they had to adapt to this dangerous world again.】
[The blood mist overturned the world, and also brought new opportunities - evolution. ]
【Animals and plants become powerful and dangerous, and can even develop intelligence. Humans develop two evolutionary directions, one is the awakeners, and the other is the evolvers. The former possesses all kinds of incredible powers, while the latter merges with the blood crystal and becomes a new life form that is far more powerful than the former - but the price is the loss of humanity. Therefore, the evolvers are often kicked out of the human race and are called "monsters" and "aliens." 】
[Blood crystal, a new type of energy crystal, is not rare, but difficult to obtain. It is commonly found in the corpses of alien beasts and underground minerals. For humans, it is a new and effective energy source for various technological products, and also a "nutrient" that promotes the upgrade of superpowers. For alien beasts and plants, it is also an important "tonic" that promotes evolution. ]
[——The above is the basic world background.]
The voice echoing in my mind coldly commented: [It's a terrible world, but for a work, the more dangerous and chaotic it is, the easier it is to produce an interesting story. ]
[Before the interesting story unfolds, the useless protagonist may die first, dear. 】
The black-haired boy said so.
The system was speechless for a long time before replying: [In theory, the blood crystal will become the stimulus for your awakening ability, instead of causing your pollution value to soar, directly deviating from the evolutionary path and turning into a monster "Inhuman".]
【Then what's wrong with me looking like this? 】
Chu Xiuyan was frantic on the inside, but he didn't dare show it on his face.
Although the three aliens surrounding him looked kind and friendly, the implicit tendency of surrounding him showed that they did not really trust him, especially the gray-haired one, who stared at him with a creepy look from time to time.
"It's past six in the evening now. We have a habit of sharing food in our settlement. There should be a bonfire outside by now. My companions are all very warm and generous, so don't worry."
"But before you join them, you have to meet the leader first. The leader will welcome you very much. By the way, I'm Fan Yi."
The gray-haired stranger smiled.
Chu Xiuyan quickly gave a fake name, feeling very disappointed.
Oh my God, stop laughing, stop laughing. Brother Gray Hair, the more you laugh, the creepier you become!
The system replied belatedly: [I just checked, and my test was correct. In other words, although your contamination value is as high as 93%, theoretically you should be a human-shaped blood crystal without self-awareness, but you are healthy and lively, rational, and can eat two bowls of rice in one breath. Because you are too normal, it is obviously abnormal. ]
Chu Xiuyan: [Aba Aba. ]
The system ignored the host's interruption and said with a hint of hesitation: [Although blood crystals can stimulate the awakening of superpowers, in fact, the air is full of blood crystal energy that is invisible to the naked eye, so... is there a possibility that you have actually awakened superpowers. And this appearance at this time is just a manifestation of superpowers? ]
Chu Xiuyan was horrified: [System, you mean, I am a chameleon!? ]
Mimicry = chameleon, nothing wrong with that.
[…How would I know your special ability?]
The system said speechlessly and coldly: [Find a way to study it yourself, I am not your mother. ]
Chu Xiuyan: [I want to apply for a new system. ]
【Application rejected.】
【Your application is rejected! 】
【？ 】
The system swallowed back the words "I reject your rejection" with difficulty and skipped the topic directly: [Since I did not contact you in time when I fell into this world before, which caused a series of problems, I will compensate you. ]
[Rewind once, novice protection mechanism for one hour, free resurrection once. Choose one of three, ten seconds to think, time out will invalidate. ]
Chu Xiuyan: [Ten seconds!? This is too short! Too much! You will become a stain on the system world if you do this!]
The system began the cold and merciless countdown: [Ten, nine, eight...]
Chu Xiuyan was brainstorming, his head was almost smoking, he felt that either one was good, and finally he simply closed his eyes and quickly "selected the troops and generals".
【Rewind, roll back! 】
System: [Oh.]
…
It had only been a minute or two since he walked from the dungeon to the surface, but to Chu Xiuyan, it felt like a century.
Why is this system that I'm bound to so difficult to deal with?!
He also wants a cute system that is silly, sweet, silly and cute!!
Chu Xiuyan once again wondered if he was suffering from Mercury retrograde.
The two strangers following behind walked away, leaving only the gray-haired stranger Fan Yi leading the way.
The alien settlements are very simple. Although they were originally humans who enjoyed modern life, it seems that when they forgot their humanity, they also forgot about the technological creations and rushed directly into the primitive society.
After all, it’s really strange that even the weapons are made of animal bones!
A bonfire was burning on the open ground, blackened vines were screaming in the flames, and a group of aliens were sitting around, their tattered clothes barely covering their bodies, with blood-red crystals exposed. They looked extremely ferocious, like a group of crystal monsters sitting cross-legged.
The topics of conversation they talked about were also full of the meaning of "monster".
They regard humans as food, slaughter them without any empathy, and even make mocking and contemptuous comments about "dying people risking their lives to protect their companions" as a joke.
Ah, my fists are clenched, I’m angry, so angry…
Chu Xiuyan's smile gradually twisted.
The gray-haired stranger walked in front, introducing the members of the settlement in a gentle and calm tone.
In his heart, he was assessing the strength of the newcomer "Hu Jia". Although it was not immediately clear, his perseverance was pretty good.
In the first few hours after being contaminated by the blood crystal, he still maintained his sanity and did not lose consciousness and destroy everything. He must have good talent. Although he looks silly, he should not be a deep thinker. If he is guided, he may become a good follower.
As he was thinking this, the gray-haired stranger turned around and found that the newcomer following him had disappeared.
The next second, a loud noise came from the campfire not far away.
"You damn bastard, are you looking for death? It's so hot—"
A black-haired alien covered in blood crystals was kicked into the campfire, face down, and tied up tightly with vines that were used as firewood. He struggled frantically, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
The black-haired boy smiled and retracted his kicking leg. He put his hands in his pockets and said embarrassedly, "I just saw a huge bug lying behind you, so I kicked it subconsciously... Are you okay? Are you going to die? If you are dead, I can help collect your body. You're welcome."
The strangers around him fell back in shock: "Oh wow." This newcomer is really brave.
The black-haired alien climbed up from the fire, his face twisted like a demon, and looked at Chu Xiuyan with murderous intent: "You bastard, you're dead."
Chu Xiuyan tilted his head: "Ah, are you introducing yourself? Hello, my name is Hu Jia."
The black-haired stranger was furious, and black gray smoke floated from the blood crystals on his body. He took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet instantly sank. It was obvious that he was going to teach this newcomer a profound lesson.
"Black Fang, stop. If you have the energy, you should search for the human base nearby overnight instead of attacking the newcomers."
Fan Yi walked between the two sides with a cold smile, warned the black-haired stranger, then turned his head towards Chu Xiuyan with an even stronger threat.
"And you, if you provoke others again, I won't save you."
Chu Xiuyan: "I didn't provoke him. I just wanted to build good relationships with the seniors and get along well with them. Did I go too far?"
"Or, Brother Black Fang, are you angry because you couldn't even dodge that kick?"
Fan Yi's eyes narrowed, thinking that he had misjudged it. It was a sub-adult wolf that had already grown claws and fangs and was eager to challenge the position of the wolf king.
Black Fang accepted the challenge, clenched his fists and fiercely collided with him, saying maliciously: "Little boy, I will teach you how to kneel down and obey when facing a strong man. But now is not the opportunity, how about warming up first?"
An alien moved a relatively flat stone, and soon many aliens gathered around to watch the fun, urging Heiya to create some interesting scenes.
"Black Fang, crush him!"
"Has the new guy's brain been corrupted by the blood crystal? He even dares to mess with Black Fang."
"Fan Yi probably didn't have time to warn the newbie not to mess with Black Fang. Ah, the boss is going to be angry again."
"I'll bet one blood crystal that I can eat the flesh of a newcomer tonight."
"I'm greedy..."
Chu Xiuyan had a bright and brilliant smile on his face, an expression that showed he was eager to try, and he exuded the aura of a "stupid" person. Because of this, the strangers around him did not take him seriously.
Fan Yi chose to watch coldly.
"Hu Jia" is too conspicuous, no matter how talented he is, he will not be his choice.
…
The system also thinks that the host is too ostentatious, that this place is very dangerous, and that the host doesn't even know what his own abilities are.
But Chu Xiuyan disagreed.
If the car really fails, isn't there a way to roll back?
Let him have some fun first.
Simply put, the system is here, the golden finger has arrived, and Chu Xiuyan feels that he can do it again!
On the stone slab were two right hands clenched tightly, belonging to different "people".
Heiya bent down, staring at Chu Xiuyan's eyes with a pair of blood-red eyes, and said viciously: "I can already feel the pleasure of your hands being crushed into pulp by me."
Chu Xiuyan also smiled. Although he had a pair of red eyes, they were not as bloody as those of other aliens. They even had a silly clarity.
He said in that innocent and clean tone: "Brother Black Tooth, I'm really sorry just now, I really didn't mean it."
Black Fang sneered: "It's too late to beg for mercy now..."
Chu Xiuyan: “Now I’m doing it on purpose, hahahaha!”
Heiya felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he felt a sharp pain in his temple. The next second, he was kicked into the air by a flying kick from the diagonal direction, and fell to the ground with a thud three full seconds later.
The black-haired boy, with the "clear and silly" look still in his eyes, jumped back to the ground and laughed wildly: "Brother Black Fang, it seems that you are a step too late. Before you crush my hand bones, I will kick your head out like a ball."
The surroundings were quiet.
A sturdy alien who was almost two meters tall walked out and said in a muffled voice: "Stone bones."
Chu Xiuyan was a little slow to realize that this was a self-introduction, so he responded, "Hu Jia."
The sturdy stranger nodded, and held the smaller hand with his right hand, applying force while being alert to possible attacks from the side.
But the next second, a fist hit his nose directly. The sturdy stranger covered his face with blood from his nose and retreated into the crowd in a daze.
Chu Xiuyan clenched his fist and shouted excitedly: "Next, next!"
【My system is super cool! 】
The system doesn't want to say anything.
The strangers around were also gradually becoming agitated.
A Black Fang might be an accident, and he didn't have time to defend himself. But Shigu's strength was similar to Black Fang's, and he was able to attack him unexpectedly even though he was already on guard. This newcomer who looked naive and stupid... was quite powerful.
As the black-haired newcomer was chattering proudly, the third alien walked over.
Chu Xiuyan successfully launched a headbutt, causing the third alien to bleed profusely from his forehead and fall to the ground.
The fourth, the fifth...
When Chu Xiuyan came to his senses, the only person standing around him was Fan Yi.
He waved at him: "Do you want to try it too? When it comes to arm wrestling, I've never lost."
Fan Yi stared at him for a long time and said, "The leader is still waiting for you."
Chu Xiuyan: "Eh. Will the boss be angry?"
"This incident was caused by your provocation. If you were weak and couldn't withstand the suppression of others, you would be torn into pieces by the angry leader and eaten as a midnight snack. But now you have won and proved your status with your strength. Therefore, the leader will not only not be angry, but also be happy."
“But we are just arm wrestling.” Chu Xiuyan asked a soul-searching question.
Fan Yi turned his head and looked behind him. Around the campfire, there were strange people lying on the ground with their heads broken into pieces and their eyes closed, pretending to be dead. For a moment, he was speechless.
He weighed his tone and said, "Have you ever been hit on the head?"
So the attacks are directed at the head?
…
Nope.
I just want to test how hard these aliens' heads are and whether I can crack them open on the spot.
But then again, he is already that awesome.
Chu Xiuyan opened and closed his hands, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The leader of the alien settlement was sitting in a wooden house, completely immersed in the darkness, with only a pair of cold, scarlet eyes directed straight at Chu Xiuyan and Fan Yi who pushed the door open and entered.
He didn't speak.
Fan Yi briefly explained what was happening outside and then shut up.
Chu Xiuyan didn't know what to say, so he waited for the alien leader to speak.
However,
One minute passed, five minutes passed, and a full half hour passed, but the alien leader still didn't make a sound.
System broadcast time: [Almost an hour. 】
Chu Xiuyan's legs were numb from standing, and he thought that this leader was sick.
Before his patience completely disappeared, the alien leader finally moved his precious mouth.
"good."
And then it was gone.
Chu Xiuyan walked out of the door with a look of shock on his face.
That's it? That's it!!
Fan Yi said, "The leader's brain is a little off."
Chu Xiuyan was in a daze: "He doesn't think this is very cool and can give people a sense of oppression, right?"
Fan Yi: "So, the leader's brain is not very good."
Chu Xiuyan: "We shouldn't have gone far yet, Boss, can you hear me?"
Fan Yi: "I just told him. It's the same process every time. I'm also very tired from standing."
Chu Xiuyan said there is no such thing as fuck.
A bonfire was lit in an open area of the settlement, and a group of strange people gathered around it to prepare meat.
Chu Xiuyan looked over there for a long time.
Fan Yi stood nearby, his tone as calm as ever: "Personally, I admire you very much, so I'm reminding you. Take your eyes off me, the other aliens won't like it."
Chu Xiuyan touched his eyes and smiled, "What kind of look is that?"
The gray-haired alien did not answer, but turned around and said, "Humans are not on my menu. If you can survive the next siege, you can go northwest. That is where the real alien activities are."
"Really..." Chu Xiuyan caught the key words and said thoughtfully: "In other words, in your eyes, Gray Hair Brother, the aliens here are just a bunch of scum?"
Fan Yi said nothing and walked away quickly, not knowing where he was going.
"Wait, what does siege mean?" Does it have something to do with the uncle in the dungeon?
Chu Xiuyan thought of another important piece of information, but Fan Yi had already walked far away, so he ultimately did not follow him.
After all, as a newcomer, his presence is already conspicuous enough.
"But here comes the problem. Although it's okay to be hungry for a day or two, but..."
Chu Xiuyan muttered, "Where to sleep at night? Sleeping on the floor? So primitive."
“Buzz buzz buzz… snap!”
Chu Xiuyan slapped a mosquito to death.
A red envelope appeared on the back of my hand.
Then, the idle system suddenly received a surprise call from the host.
[Tongzi! I know what my special ability is! ]
System: [Isn't it a chameleon? Ah, or is it 100% certain to kill mosquitoes? So amazing. ]
Chu Xiuyan: [...System, come out, let's fight.]
