Xue Huan made a lot of money in the past few years by acting as a middleman and earning the difference, but she couldn't save any of it. She either used the money to buy supplies, such as the luxury RV she lives in now, her daily food, clothing, weapons, etc.
Or you can use it to buy potions to improve your strength.
She is able to have the strength she has today because of taking drugs, because she has not awakened any special abilities. As a girl who traveled through a book, the only golden finger for her is this doomsday system.
So far, she has taken medicine twice, one primary gene optimization potion and one intermediate gene optimization potion.
With the help of the potion, her physical fitness has undergone a qualitative leap. She is like a real superwoman. She can't fly or hide, but she can kill a mutant wild boar with one punch.
No worse than those who have awakened superpowers.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the supernatural power system in this apocalyptic novel.
The superpowers here are basically physical, without those cool superpowers like gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
It can be roughly divided into three categories.
1. Strengthening: the body's inherent qualities are enhanced, such as becoming a speedster (faster speed), having clairaudience (enhanced hearing), having clairaudience (enhanced vision), etc.
Second, alienation, such as an extra eye growing on the forehead, a pair of wings growing on the back, etc.
3. Beastialization: A person transforms into an animal, such as a lion, tiger, crocodile, etc. In the novel, the male protagonist's ability is to transform into a tiger. Because of an injury, his body became smaller, and the female protagonist mistook him for a cat and picked him up. The two became friends because of this.
The first two mutations are basically permanent, while the third allows one to switch freely between human and animal modes.
These mutations are all at the genetic level, and therefore, the power Xue Huan gains from taking the gene optimization drug does not feel out of place.
People with special abilities can cultivate through crystal cores to improve their strength, but Xue Huan, a pseudo-superpower, can only continue to take drugs.
A year has passed since she took the intermediate potion. She has basically adapted to her current strength and has developed all aspects of her physical qualities to the extreme. She is ready to continue taking drugs.
As soon as she saves enough gold coins, she will buy the advanced gene optimization potion to further enhance her strength.
That night, in the basement below Lao Fang Supermarket, a black market auction was in full swing.
Xue Huan entered the venue with her admission ticket and was led to her seat by the waiter, who gave her a number plate.
The auction has already begun, and the item on the stage is a mutant bull's horn.
Xue Huan recognized that the bull horn and the one in her hand were a pair.
In the end times, weapons are indispensable, whether for those with special abilities or ordinary people.
Even if one awakens special abilities, they are not necessarily offensive. If one does not have a certain ability to protect oneself, one may be killed even in the base, let alone going out hunting.
Ordinary people do not have special powers, so they need to practice skills hard to improve their strength.
And weapons are often part of strength.
Since hot weapons are difficult to deal with, we can only start with traditional weapons.
Weapons made from certain parts of mutant creatures, such as teeth, horns, bones, etc., are often extremely sharp and are therefore very popular.
The shouts of clapping around were getting louder and louder, and finally the mutant bull's horn was bought by someone with a level 4 crystal core.
The exchange rate between crystal cores is generally 10, and one level 4 crystal core is equivalent to 10 level 3 crystal cores.
But if it were the other way around, I'm afraid no one would be willing to exchange it.
Next, things like the ability awakening potion, mutant python skin, mutant eagle eggs, etc. came on stage one after another, each time sparking a frenzied scramble for them.
Xue Huan was quite interested in the mutant eagle's eggs. If they could be successfully hatched and raised, she would have an extra helper in the air.
But as she saw the bidding price approaching that of a level 6 crystal core, her initially heated mind gradually cooled down.
It's a good thing, but if you really spend a level 6 crystal core to buy it, it's not worth it. After all, it's just an egg, and we don't know if it can hatch. Even if it does, whether it can grow up is also a question.
Too many follow-up questions anyway.
After all, I am still poor, alas.
If she has plenty of crystal cores, would she still care about that one level 6 crystal core?
As the auction came to an end, an unexpected item was brought up.
It was a large cage that was raised from a lift. The cage was covered with black cloth, which concealed it tightly.
Amid the crowd's anxious urging, the auctioneer lifted the black cloth.
Suddenly, there was an uproar at the scene.
There was actually a person in that cage! A man!
The man leaned against the cage with his head lowered, revealing only a corner of his delicate, snow-white chin. He was tied with thumb-thick steel chains.
The moment he raised his head, everyone present was so amazed that they were speechless.
Heart-piercing double pupils, snow-white skin, and blood-red lips.
That face, like a painting with rich colors, quiet and indifferent, is extremely visually impactful and breathtakingly beautiful.
In the last five years of the world, beauties are undoubtedly an extremely scarce resource, regardless of gender.
When everyone realized what was happening, they erupted in excitement. They slammed their hands on the table, whistled, and screamed. The place was boiling with excitement. Even the auctioneer's exaggerated explanation was drowned out by the excited clamor.
Xue Huan stared at the man's eyes without blinking, her heart beating faster and faster, not because of a fluttering heart, but because of——
frightened.
Double pupils are the iconic feature of the villain boss in the novel!
In this novel, there are two main villains, the villain boss, and the second villain. Both of them are not human, but blood demons.
After the apocalypse, the villainous boss Pei Ji mutated into the Blood Demon boss. His heart completely crystallized, making him the only ninth-level Blood Demon! His strength is incredibly strong!
But perhaps since he became the blood demon boss from the beginning, he still retained his human memories and was clear-minded, so he had no hostility towards humans and was able to restrain his bloodthirsty instincts.
Moreover, his personality is relatively Buddhist. Even after becoming the big boss of the Blood Demon, he did not have the slightest self-awareness to cause troubles all day long. Instead, he found a place to stay and lived a simple life.
The second villain is different. He was just a junior blood demon at the beginning. After being alienated, he lost his mind and became bloodthirsty and murderous. Humans are his food. But he was lucky and upgraded all the way to become the second most powerful blood demon after the big boss.
Five years passed. Pei Ji gradually lost his strength and became weak because he refused to drink human blood. Of course, no matter how weak he was, he was still the big boss.
The second villain relies on hunting down a large number of people with special abilities and drinking their blood to become stronger and stronger, and he becomes increasingly dissatisfied with the boss who does nothing above him.
The relationship between the two is somewhat similar to that between an emperor who ascended the throne at a young age and a powerful prime minister. Although the emperor has a natural pressure on his ministers, he cannot stop the minister's increasingly vigorous ambition.
Villain number two is always thinking about killing Pei Ji, becoming the boss, leading the blood demon to kill humans, and occupy the earth!
