I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

The air was silent for a moment. Yan Ziming looked at her sincerely and said solemnly, "Yes, I will!"

"Is that so... then I'll look forward to it." Liu Mengxian paused, then said teasingly, "As your teacher, I have a piece of advice for you... being too flirtatious is not a good habit."

"Eh?"

Yan Ziming seemed to sense something and turned around to see Ye Qianxue with puffed-out cheeks and tears in her eyes.

"Hey, no, Qianxue, let me explain, I..."

"Big sister, you're such an idiot—!"

Chapter Eighteen Agreement

"Those damn guys, how could they put such a tight deadline..."

On a military transport plane, Yan Ziming sat there, incessantly cursing the United States for being such cunning schemers who only notified them of the Civilization Cup ten days in advance, leaving them no time to prepare anything.

If she had known earlier, she could have slipped away beforehand and avoided the hassle of participating in the Civilization Cup.

"What we do know is that they kept it a secret so tightly, only informing us at the very end. They must have something in mind. Be careful in the United States and don't appear in public alone."

Mu Mu temporarily returned to her usual state, her words carrying the air of a powerful figure.

She had considered many things before coming, including the possibility of the United States assassinating her or those around her, but for now, she only considered these.

After all, he, Yan Ziming, Ye Qianxue, and the other two are almost certain to break through to the ninth rank in a short period of time, which will have a significant impact on China and completely revitalize the country.

The rise of China is an absolute catastrophe for the United States and Western capitalist countries.

If an assassination were to occur, they might be facing more than just the United States as an enemy.

Therefore, Mu Mu almost repeatedly instructed them, especially Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue, not to run around, but to stay in the embassy unless necessary, so as not to give any outsiders the possibility of causing trouble.

"I know—I don't seem like the kind of person who causes trouble everywhere, do I?" Yan Ziming said innocently.

It's never that she caused the trouble herself; trouble just came knocking on her door, and she couldn't escape it no matter how hard she tried!

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Once this Civilization Cup is over, the number of people causing trouble for Yan Ziming will likely increase by an order of magnitude. If her forged identity is exposed, it will be almost impossible for her to live a peaceful life again.

"Whether you caused the trouble or the trouble came to you, it's all your fault!"

"Can't we be reasonable? This is an act of God!"

"In short, just be careful."

Mo Xin came closer and climbed onto Yan Ziming's back: "With our master here, what do we have to be afraid of?"

"That one... she is indeed powerful. There is probably no one in the world who can threaten her. However, you must take your own life into your own hands. If you always rely on others, it wouldn't be surprising if you died one day. My good disciple, you must not be like your sister, understand?"

"Mmm!" She wanted to side with Yan Ziming, but Mu Mu pinched the soft flesh around her waist, so Ye Qianxue couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.

"No matter how powerful Sister Liu Mengxian is, she needs to be by my side... Where is she now?" Tian Tian shook his head everywhere, but he couldn't find any trace of Liu Mengxian anywhere.

“Oh, she said she went to the United States ahead of me,” Mo Xin replied.

"What kind of rice?"

Yan Ziming excitedly grabbed Mo Xin's shoulders: "Why didn't you tell me about something so important sooner!"

Are you worried about your master? Her strength is nothing for you to worry about.

"That's not the problem..." Yan Ziming clenched his fist, looking hesitant. "Xian'er doesn't seem to know where in the United States the competition venue is, does she? And without any communication equipment, she's completely unfamiliar with the area. How are we supposed to contact her?"

"..."

"I'm here! With me here, everything will be fine!... Probably," Mo Xin said with great uncertainty.

"Your contact with her wasn't initiated by her alone... You couldn't contact her at all."

"Well..."

Mo Xin was speechless and curled up in a ball, feeling wronged.

"Okay, okay, I'm not blaming you, little loli, be good~~" Yan Ziming comforted her tenderly. Such an adorable little loli staring at him with teary eyes would make anyone kneel down.

Then Yan Ziming sighed again: "Not being able to contact Xian'er is secondary. What I'm more worried about is that, given Xian'er's appearance, she'll definitely attract a lot of trouble. There's also the language barrier. I've heard that there are many gangs in the United States, and the politicians aren't exactly clean either. I'm afraid... sigh~"

She didn't say what came next, but everyone else understood.

Liu Mengxian's stunning beauty was so captivating that even the clouds obscuring her vision couldn't completely conceal her charm. The phrase "beauty is a curse" couldn't be more fitting for Liu Mengxian. Surely, some people would covet her beauty and harbor evil thoughts, only to be utterly annihilated by Xian'er, ultimately becoming a major event that would shock the world and cause international disputes.

What is the purpose of such a powerful figure from your China who has infiltrated our United States and wreaked havoc on our territory?

In short, it is very troublesome to deal with.

One problem was her appearance, but another was the difference in values. Xian'er was undoubtedly out of step with modern society. The language and cultural differences were barely acceptable in China, but they were completely unacceptable in the United States.

You might get ripped off for a large sum of money even when buying a regular phone, and then become a target, with the final result being the same as above.

"No matter how much you worry, it won't help. Just mind your own business and don't cause trouble for others. Now that you've become the team leader, you can't just let your heart sway you. Otherwise, others will question the decisions of Mo Sheng and the other pillars of China."

Mu Mu said very calmly, seemingly not worried at all.

Yan Ziming couldn't solve the problem on his own, so he simply ignored it. If the sky were to fall, there would be taller people to hold it up; it wasn't his place to worry.

"Hey, are Tiantian and Qianxue going to participate in the doubles competition? Why don't you two team up?" Yan Ziming suggested.

"Qianxue doesn't mind, does she? What do you think, Tiantian?"

"No, I don't want to participate in the doubles competition. Besides, if I go, I'll only hold you back, Qianxue. I'd better not go."

Tian Tian politely declined Yan Ziming's suggestion.

Although her special ability is extremely powerful lightning, her level has only just broken through to the fifth rank, and she can only hover in the middle and lower ranks in the Civilization Cup. Ye Qianxue, on the other hand, has a seventh-rank spatial ability, which is among the top tier even in the upper ranks.

If Ye Qianxue had a strong teammate in the competition, she would be like a fish in water. I am just a bystander and would only drag her down.

"How can you say that? I work so hard every day!" Ye Qianxue puffed out her cheeks and said angrily.

"Ah...no, but it's true, and I don't want to participate in the doubles competition either...why don't you participate with Sister Mu Mu?" Tian Tian suddenly suggested.

Both are high-level spatial ability users. If they team up, it will be much more than just one plus one. Their combat power will increase exponentially, and winning the championship will not be difficult.

"Alright then, my good disciple will be in my group. No refusing!"

Seeing that Ye Qianxue seemed about to say something, Mu Mu firmly settled the matter.

"Ugh..."

"Why are you sighing? Are you unhappy being in a group with me or something?"

Faced with Mu Mu's questioning, Ye Qianxue shook her head like a rattle drum. It wasn't that she disliked being in a group with Mu Mu; all her skills were taught by Mu Mu, so there was definitely no problem with their coordination. Their teamwork was extremely high, much better than just finding someone to team up with randomly.

Ye Qianxue sighed because if she competed against Mu Mu, she would almost certainly win the rest of the competition, and in the end, she would inevitably encounter her older sister. At that time, she would not be able to admit defeat even if she wanted to. She could not bring herself to fight her older sister or Mo Xin.

"Then let's make a promise, Qianxue, Mumu and Moxin too."

Yan Ziming saw through Ye Qianxue's worries and wanted to solve the problem as much as possible.

"What agreement?"

"If we're opponents, we can settle the score within ten moves, okay?"

“Okay, Qianxue can accept it.”

"If I were to face you guys in an individual competition, I might as well just admit defeat. I couldn't even withstand one move," Tian Tian said dejectedly.

"...I have a request," Mu Mu said slowly, looking at Yan Ziming. "When I meet you in the individual competition, I require you to give it your all."

"Why? Who knows which one might get hurt!"

"I can't tell you the specific reasons right now... Anyway, it's settled!"

"..."

What else could Yan Ziming do? With Mu Mu making such a firm demand, he could only admit defeat.

Chapter Nineteen Arrival

Inside a military base in District 7 of the United States.

Since the United States announced that the Civilization Cup would be held in District 7, there has been a constant stream of planes taking off and landing here, with the number of takeoffs and landings every day being several times that of normal days.

These included not only planes from the United States, but also those from other countries.

The planes taking off and landing were mostly transport planes and civilian aircraft, landing one after another on the runway, their fuselages adorned with the flags of different countries.

It is unimaginable under normal circumstances that so many foreign planes land at the military airfield of the world's superpower, which is a serious violation of their airspace sovereignty.

But now, it is a special time. The Civilization Cup is being held as scheduled, attracting tourists from all over the world. Ordinary civilian airports are not enough, and civilian airliners have to temporarily land at military airports.

After several busy days, the ground staff here have become accustomed to this scene. They just go about their business as usual, with little change except for the increased workload.

Now it's the third to last day of the Civilization Cup, and the peak of airport traffic has passed, unlike the previous days when it was packed.

But today, everything seems a little different, because a special plane from a country with a rather special status has arrived.

This country's system is completely different from those of other capitalist countries; the two systems are diametrically opposed, and there are constant frictions between them, both large and small.

Despite facing various forms of encirclement and suppression under the United States-led international order, they have grown stronger and stronger until they can now truly threaten the United States, becoming a superpower comparable to the United States.

Today, the aircraft carrying their contestants is about to arrive at the airport in District Seven, led by a ninth-tier powerhouse from China.
