Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Back at the hotel, Su Chen took a hot shower and threw away his clothes that were stained with wolves’ blood.

‘The energy bars tasted fine, but I still need to eat something else.’

With that in mind, Su Chen turned on his phone.

‘I’ll order a massive takeout to treat myself.’

Once the order was placed, Su Chen waited for his food to arrive. He stood in front of the window and looked at the shining lights outside.

It felt like he was in a movie and began reminiscing about the events that had happened these past few days.

At the farm, he had rescued more than three thousand pigs that were trapped and the system gave him energy water.

That was also his first encounter with the ferocious mutated wild boars. Luckily, he got out safely.

After he checked in at the farm, he received the ultimate skiing skill.

Thanks to the ultimate skiing skill and energy water, he could face an avalanche head-on. Thus, completing his check-in at the snowy mountains. For this, the system awarded him with the scamper skill.

He followed the footprints of the wild boars and headed to their nest.

Subsequently, he obtained the ability to communicate with animals. 

Su Chen used his new skill to save some police officers from a tiger.

Then, he got the ultimate combat skill which would come in handy when he explored the abandoned gold mine.

Additionally, he accidentally fell into a pit and successfully signed in at the wild boars’ hole. That gave him the max-grade pistol and he was able to deal with the gold-skinned wild boar, narrowly escaping death.

Before he reached the gold mine, he was ambushed by a snow monster. However, he managed to immobilize it for some time.

While exploring the gold mine. Su Chen shot a number of enormous rats.

He also got away from some giant bats and mysterious plants.

Completing the check-in at the gold mine gave him the ability to turn stones into gold.

At the same time, he encountered a giant snake under a lake. Su Chen saved the civilians who were stuck by pushing the ice floes to the coast. This counted as a successful check-in at the lake and he received top-level swimming skills.

He even dealt with a crashing plane, saving all the passengers.

Of course, that was all thanks to mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Anyway, he gained top-notch piloting skills.

Next, he signed up for the exploration team. They were going to search for treasures at the bottom of Boyang Lake. With his top-level swimming skills, he saved the leader and became even more of a hero!

The Thunder Blade then came into the picture. Su Chen used it to fend off the giant beast beneath the waters and discovered a black hole!

By completing his check-in at the Boyang Lake, he acquired a black hole protection shield.

Shortly after, there was an explosion at a chemical factory. Su Chen found the source and encountered a wolf pack. Nonetheless, he managed to plug the hole and Thunder Blade displayed its power again!

He stopped a second explosion from happening, solving a major crisis.

A successful check-in at the dangerous chemical factory gave him a full-grade protective suit.

After that, Su Chen ran into an unconscious woman.

Upon learning more about the mutated wolves, he planned to go to the leaking nuclear power plant. 

Since he needed money to buy a car for traveling, he went to a gold store. There, a robbery took place. It was also where Su Chen met another human with special powers. This world was really not simple.

The sense of danger kept rising.

Anyway, once that was settled, Su Chen went to a village nearby the nuclear power plant. He came across some mutated one-horned hyenas, but they did not pose much of a problem because the Thunder Blade cut them up like vegetables.

Su Chen went deep into the quarantine zone and confronted a large number of wolves. Fortunately, he outsmarted and quickly disposed of them. 

Furthermore, he killed their leader, the giant werewolf. 

Su Chen then found the leak and patched it. 

Simultaneously, he checked in at the nuclear power plant and attained the air bomb.

…

Based on everything he had been through, Su Chen felt invincible.

With his abilities, he could easily go to the top ten most fatal places in the country.

For example, there was the Devil’s Valley, where people would enter but not leave. There was also a man-swallowing desert, an island full of poisonous snakes, and so on.

If Su Chen wanted to become more powerful, he needed to pick the most perilous places to sign in. 

Time was scarce. 

Other people were also awakening their abilities.

This world would just keep becoming more treacherous.

Furthermore, he needed to collect more supplies before the apocalypse’s arrival.

“Ring! Ring!”

Su Chen’s cell phone suddenly rang.

“Hello? Sir, your takeout has arrived. Please pick them up at the hotel lobby.”

It was the delivery man.

Su Chen quickly got dressed up and went downstairs.

He went to the front desk, took his stuff, and was about to go upstairs again.

However, he noticed two people sneaking around his car. They were also looking inside the hotel from time to time through the window.

Su Chen calmly approached them from behind. He wondered what they were up to.

“There must be money in the bag at the back seat.”

One of them said to the other.

The two of them took out a screwdriver and started to pry open the door.

“Hey!”

Su Chen shouted.

Both of them jumped up in shock. 

Su Chen picked them up effortlessly, one in each hand.

“Brother, please spare us!”

“We didn’t know that this was your car.”

“Yea, we haven’t done anything yet!”

The two were suspended in the air.

They struggled and begged for mercy while crying.

Su Chen raised his hand and threw them quite a distance.

The two of them immediately got up and ran.

One was obviously faster than the other.

In fact, he was as fast as a leopard.

As he ran, he got on all fours and further increased his speed.

‘Another awakened human.’

Su Chen watched until the man’s figure was out of sight.

Then, he turned around and returned to the hotel.

He took the takeout back to his room and turned on the television.

While Su Chen was eating, something caught his attention.

“Our country’s expedition team discovered a 500-year-old sunken ship in the Ramakan Desert.”

Desert? Sunken ship?

Su Chen’s eyes narrowed as he locked onto another check-in location..
