Li Ming walked across the reception hall and slowly approached an office on the inner side. He glanced at the big words "Resource Management Department" on the doorplate, then he gently opened the door and walked in.

"Take this list back and give it to Lv Jinping. Ask him to re-verify the contents of the list. I want to know why the number of energy potions requested is 50,000 more than the actual demand..."

Behind the desk, Miao Qianqian, dressed in a light blue formal suit, was concentrating on assigning tasks. Just at this moment, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

She then waved to the short-haired woman standing opposite her, "Okay, you can leave now."

"Yes, Minister Miao." The middle-aged woman with short hair responded respectfully, then picked up the list in her hand, turned and walked towards the office door.

When she passed by Li Ming, although they didn't know each other, she still nodded to him politely to show her respect.

With the departure of the middle-aged woman, only Li Ming and Miao Qianqian were left in the spacious office suite.

"How come you have time to come here today?" Miao Qianqian smiled like a flower. She stood up lightly and walked to the cubicle. She brewed a cup of fragrant coffee and handed it to him. "From what I remember, you seem to have never been to the Executive Mansion."

Although the world has entered the doomsday era and most commodities can no longer be produced, and coffee is a rare luxury, that is for ordinary people.

There is an alchemy workshop in the team headquarters, where all kinds of materials in the conventional world can be transformed.

Therefore, it only takes a small amount of survival points to ensure that no items in the original world are in short supply.

Li Ming took the steaming, milky white coffee cup and took a sip. Then he looked around the spacious and bright office. "I came here mainly to see you, and I'll take a look around the Second Ring Road area."

Of course Miao Qianqian knew that Li Ming had something to talk to her about, otherwise she wouldn't have come in person.

She immediately pulled him into the lounge next door, and they sat on the soft sofa together. She asked softly, "What happened?"

"It's nothing big, actually. I just want to give you two things." Li Ming said softly, placing the coffee cup in his hand on the crystal table.

Then, he took out a large, shiny black pistol with flashing runes from his system backpack, as well as a simple women's windbreaker with red and green colors and a hood.

Although these two objects appear calm and low-key in appearance, Miao Qianqian still keenly captured an indescribable sense of oppression, as if there was an unknown terrifying power hidden behind them.

"Is this equipment made from the bones of high-level demons?" she asked subconsciously.

"Yes." Li Ming nodded and explained in detail: "Remember, this pistol can only fire nine shots, and each shot can release extremely compressed chaos three-source energy."

"I tested it myself, and it's pretty powerful. If used unexpectedly, it can even cause serious damage to a L6 monster."

"This garment has also been specially modified to have stronger defensive and healing abilities. It can also help resist the pressure of high-level demons to a certain extent."

Miao Qianqian bit her red lips gently, silent, and just snuggled softly into Li Ming's arms. Deep in her heart, she felt unprecedented warmth, but also an indescribable sense of self-blame.

The date for the next game to start is approaching, with less than twenty days left.

What was different from the past was that this time, Li Ming and his team could not predict how long they would be away, and their return date became an unknown.

Because of this, the invasion of the demon army is like an unstable bomb. Without the protection of high-level psychics, unpredictable dangerous situations may occur at any time.

Miao Qianqian knew very well that Li Ming was indifferent to the changes in the world. Even if this land was reduced to ruins, he might not blink an eye, otherwise he would not have turned a blind eye to the affairs of the safe zone.

But she could sense his deep concern for her, a care and protection that could be felt without words.

That is why she felt guilty. She did not want to become a hindrance to Li Ming in the game world.

Neither of them spoke, they just snuggled together quietly.

Three days later in the evening, at the teleportation center of the team headquarters, a long-lost vitality suddenly burst out.

Without any warning, two dazzling beams of light broke through the night sky, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the darkness. Their light was sharp and dazzling, as if it was going to pierce the sky and reach the clouds.

This spectacular scene immediately attracted countless people from the outer ring areas, who stopped to watch and talked among themselves.

After noticing the commotion, Li Ming and Xingmeidu Dongmen Qiansha immediately returned to the team headquarters and gathered at the transmission center.

In the hall, as two dazzling golden light beams gradually dissipated, two figures, one large and one small, gradually emerged.

The two familiar figures in front of me have changed a lot.

Yunshan's originally fair skin has now turned into a fiery red, with a hint of deep black in it, as if it had been roasted by a raging fire, giving people a burnt feeling.

In contrast, Cecily's appearance had not changed much, but the aura around her was abnormally disordered, as if a powerful force was surging within her body, ready to break free and spiral out of control at any moment.

“Ha…ha…” Yun Shan shouted loudly, her voice a little hoarse, “I’m finally back! I don’t want to stay in that damn place for even a second!”

Her listless eyes swept across the three people in front of her, then suddenly became bright, and then she couldn't wait to run towards a snow-white figure, "Xingmei, hurry, cool me down!"

Xingmei pursed her red lips, the energy in her body surged slightly, releasing a gentle chill that slowly surrounded Yunshan.

Yunshan's face immediately showed a comfortable and satisfied expression. She whispered softly, "It's so cool, so comfortable, I feel alive..."

Li Ming walked up to Cecily with a faint smile on his face, "Time is a little faster than I expected. How many force crystal cores have you absorbed in total?"

"Six." Cecily responded softly, and at the same time exhaled gently, trying to stabilize the uncontrollable tremendous energy in her body.

"Only six were used? How impressive!" Dongmen Qiansha was shocked.

Xing Mei on the side also added: "This is the minimum absorption amount given by the supercomputer."

Li Ming was not too surprised.

Cecily's physique was probably the purest among the five of them, so it was not surprising that she met the requirements for physique transformation after absorbing only six L7 grade force crystal cores.

Of course, now is not the time to dwell on these details.

He looked at Cecily, whose breath was a little out of control, and said quickly: "Don't delay, just transform your physique here, we will help you keep watch."
