Some people might think that Xinghe Supermarket is somewhat innocent, as it didn't do anything particularly heinous, yet it ended up like this.
You shouldn't even think about that!
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, what does it matter to you if you are destroyed?
Powers want to grow, civilizations want to progress…
Therefore, it is necessary to continuously plunder resources to strengthen itself.
Xinghe Supermarket hasn't made any major mistakes yet, but once the other party becomes powerful, will they abandon their vast territory and be content to remain a local tyrant?
I will not eliminate you now while you are weak. When you surpass me, I will be the one who dies!
The strong never question right or wrong, because only the victor has the right to define whether something is right or wrong.
......
At this time, the seven major families had already begun their siege of Xinghe Supermarket.
Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, the four fierce beasts of Xinghe Supermarket were completely dumbfounded.
But the fourteen fierce beasts of the seven major families wouldn't offer any explanations; they would strike with deadly moves.
14:4
The overwhelming situation caused the four ferocious beasts to break down.
They couldn't understand when they had offended these strange creatures, or why they were being put to death.
The commotion of the fight naturally alerted all the forces in the vicinity.
One by one, they began to observe with their attention.
As for offering help?
Don't be ridiculous, it's already a good thing if we don't kick someone when they're down at a time like this.
A nearby amusement park instance.
Zhang Yongheng stared in disbelief at the spectacular scene outside.
"System, what's going on? Is the world about to merge? Are the factions fighting for control?"
As the owner of the system, he naturally knew this inside story.
[There's less than a month left until the world merges. Host, you should hurry up and improve your strength.]
The check-in system responded.
"I'd like to too, but what you give me are all material things. When are you going to give me something that can help me improve myself?"
Zhang Yongheng sighed.
Every time I sign in, it's either ghost money or some weird servant.
Although he obtained a lot of career points through these, he was able to unlock three career skills.
However, his ghost profession doesn't receive the same hundredfold boost as Ling Tian's.
It's just an ordinary ghost profession, with no skills that can improve one's strength.
[...]
The sign-in system is a bit ridiculous. Do you think I don't want to?
In this world of assessments with such system rules, the things you get from signing in can't be manipulated behind the scenes, and it's even difficult to continuously improve the quality of the things you get.
[Host, you should be content. You wouldn't have this kind of foundation with any other system!]
This system is arguably the most powerful cheat code in the system world. It allows you to acquire things effortlessly without the host doing anything, unlike other systems that require you to work yourself to death!
The sign-in system boasted.
"Other systems?"
Zhang Yongheng was taken aback.
[Yes, there is also a hostile system in this world. Host, find its host as soon as possible and kill it!]
The check-in system responded.
"Why didn't you say so sooner! System, you know I'm panicking right now!"
Zhang Yongheng felt a little flustered.
I thought I was the protagonist of this world just because I was bound to the system, but now you're telling me there's another system.
Moreover, my current strength is very weak. What if the other party's host is already very powerful?
[Ding! Host, don't panic. The enemy is definitely not developing as fast as we are!]
The sign-in system said confidently.
"I find it hard to believe, after all, I'm only at the level of a wandering ghost right now, and the strongest of my servants is just a fierce one."
Look at the fighting outside! This is clearly beyond the level of ferocity!
Zhang Yongheng pointed outside and said.
Faced with the host's questioning, the check-in system got angry. Didn't it have any dignity?
[Ding! The host dares to question the system! The fighting outside has nothing to do with the other host! The two are completely unrelated!]
"Alright, alright..."
Zhang Yongheng curled his lip.
The sign-in system was furious; since that was the case, it had to go all out.
[Ding! Host has not yet used today's sign-in opportunity.]
"Then sign in."
Zhang Yongheng didn't care about the Dao; anyway, it was either ghost money or servants and other external things.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the Art of Controlling Ghosts!]
The Art of Manipulating Ghosts: The user can allow their own ghostly creatures to enter their body, fully inheriting the ghost's strength and abilities. (Note: If the user's strength is lower than the ghost they are fusing with, they can only fuse with one ghost; if their strength is higher than the ghost's, they can fuse with five.)
Zhang Yongheng's eyes lit up.
They actually shipped it!
"Ahem, System, I take back what I said before. You really are the strongest system, so give us more of this kind of thing."
[Hmph! Of course!]
The sign-in system gets all excited when praised, which justifies the effort it took to break the rules and overcome their limitations.
This led to the increase in reward levels and the designation of item categories.
However, this method cannot be used indefinitely.
The rules themselves didn't plunder much to begin with, and they can't withstand much depletion.
But it was willing to risk everything to kill its own kind that was chasing it.
As long as you kill the opponent and absorb them, it's a worthwhile deal!
"Speaking of the system, where exactly does the authority in this area reside?"
Zhang Yongheng asked.
[The general area has been located; it should be within this amusement park. Therefore, the host should subdue this amusement park as soon as possible.]
"It's no use even if I subdue them... The forces in this area are too powerful; I can't get involved at all."
He was helpless, as he was born in this area.
The dungeons kept respawning here, and with the system's help, survival wasn't a problem.
But forget about subduing other forces; he hasn't grown to that level yet.
The only thing to be happy about was that he got a property certificate for a school district property in a certain area after checking in a few times.
It can be considered that they have a foothold in this strange world.
This is also his last instance. After it ends, he will move into his school district house and continue to expand his territory.
[Host need not worry, the authority will only appear for a moment and will not make a big fuss.]
At that time, we only need to set up a barrier to hide the information about the authority.
Once the host becomes powerful enough to subdue this region, then we can wait for an opportunity to merge with it when a powerful authority emerges.
Zhang Yongheng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he felt that what the system said made sense.
This amusement park is not considered a powerful force in the area.
The boss behind him was just a ferocious-level monster, so he wasn't worried at all.
So he stopped paying attention to what was happening outside and began to focus on tackling this dungeon.
......
at the same time.
The four ferocious beasts of Xinghe Supermarket are facing a siege and are now in dire straits.
"Before we die, all we want to know is why you're targeting us like this? We don't remember ever offending you!"
The four fierce eyes revealed a look of resentment.
"You don't need to know."
The seven families' mysterious ways are best left unanswered; keeping quiet is the right way to avoid future trouble.
And so, the four ferocious beasts perished unwillingly.
