Flames danced in the darkness, illuminating destroyed buildings and streets.

High-rise buildings were torn into rubble by the bombing, broken glass scattered across the block, and flames crackled from the shattered buildings, lighting the sky red.

The shops and residences along the street have been engulfed in flames, and black smoke lingers around the ruins, creating a doomsday-like scene. Only the roar of the flames can be heard.

The monster in the distance had been broken into two halves and fell to the ground. It seemed to be still breathing, but the man just now was gone, and there was a haze of fire all around.

Yuying sighed silently, walked to the monster and raised his weapon.

The laser gun is made of chrome-plated metal and black alloy. A buzzing high-frequency sound comes from its inside. The powerful energy is concentrated at a focal point, forming a strong beam of light, like a dazzling laser column.

The energy released by the laser gun is extremely huge and can instantly penetrate steel, concrete and even energy shields. Once the laser beam comes into contact with the target, it will quickly release huge destructive power and instantly burn the target to ashes.

Only with the help of such a powerful laser weapon can Yuying defeat this monster.

After dealing with the last blow, she finally felt better.

Yuying was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

"Why save me?"

She turned around slowly. The man behind her had a cold expression and alert eyes. The long sword in his hand was shining silver and emitting a faint scarlet color in the firelight.

"Why save me?"

Seeing that Yuying had no intention of explaining, he asked again, as if he didn't believe that she really had no intention towards him.

"you misunderstood."

Yuying shook her head and looked at the man in front of her sincerely. Maybe she should call him Jingmi.

She said: "I don't want to save you, I just want to kill it."

"This kind of competition is meaningless, and I have no interest in competing with you for first place. The championship is yours, and I'm withdrawing."

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly came from my brain machine.

Outside the arena, spectators watched this life-and-death battle on holographic advertisements and television equipment in the streets. They felt as if they were there, feeling the tension and excitement of the battlefield.

Until the moment Wen Yuying rescued Jingmi, the number of viewers increased exponentially, the barrage of comments exploded like fireworks, and the audience's emotions reached a climax with frenetic screams and cheers.

In the arena, Yuying and Jingmi stood in the wreckage in the center of the arena, surrounded by ruins and flames. The body of the monster leader was once again blown to pieces, burning with residual flames.

"The backdoor has finally been cracked..." Shi Yuan's somewhat tired voice came, "Yuying, you can leave now..."

Yuying finally relaxed, her voice carrying a hint of smile: "Sure, you're really on time."

Shi Yuan was still a little worried and asked nervously, "Are you okay? Are you not hurt?"

Without waiting for Yuying to speak, he asked in surprise: "I saw that you actually saved Jingmi? The live broadcast was boiling!"

"What on earth are you thinking! Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and kill you!?"

Ok……

It's not like she hasn't thought about it, but...

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm ready to leave."

"Wait a minute!"

Jing Mi, who was standing still, called out to her, still insisting on the so-called rules: "Only the sole winner can survive. You can't withdraw from the competition, and we can't shake hands and make peace..."

"Draw your gun, I will fight you fair and square."

Yuying: “…” Speechless.

Shi Yuan's somewhat annoyed voice immediately came into his mind: "Look, what did I say? I told you to mind your own business, but you didn't listen!"

"You saved this lunatic and still expect good things to happen to you? You're dreaming!"

Yuying could only yell at Shiyuan in her mind: "Shut your mouth..."

While calmly saying to the man in front of her: "I said, I just don't want to be played with."

Besides, she was a weakling who had just traveled through time. Even if her original body's abilities were still there, she probably wouldn't be able to fully utilize them. She just defeated the monster only with the help of a sneak attack and weapons. Who knew if she could beat the man in front of her in a head-on fight.

Thinking secretly in his heart, Yuying almost immediately activated the device on his body.

"Set coordinates, NPC arena network terminal entrance."

"Teleporting in three seconds."

"three……"

"two……"

"Wait a minute! You..."

The man was not giving up and was about to catch up, Yu Ying threw a punch in frustration!!!

"I said that……"

"I'm not interested in playing this boring game with you!"

Suddenly, an astonishing force erupted from her body, and the sharp wind from her fists whistled so fast that the man had no time to react.

The man could only watch the force getting closer and closer to his face and feel the pressure condensing in the air. Then, with a muffled sound, the strong and fierce fist suddenly knocked the man down, and a huge force burst out in an instant.

His body lost balance and he took several steps back like a kite with a broken string before he could barely stand.

Her body gradually dissipated in the transmitted light. Yuying's hands were trembling, her breathing was rapid, her blood seemed to be burning, and her pupils still had a trace of out-of-control color. She strangely felt that the long-dormant power in her body seemed to be awakening.

Yuying herself was also surprised by the power that this body had just erupted. This was a feeling she had never experienced before, a feeling that was indescribably deep and hot.

Did he accidentally burst out with power?

What kind of secrets does she have...

The man who remained alone on the field had a cold face, tightly pursed thin lips, sharp facial features like blades, eyes as deep as a valley, flashing a sharp light, messy black hair was unruly and flamboyant, even in his torn black combat suit covered with fire ashes, it was impossible to ignore the unique temperament and attraction emanating from him. He was like a sharp blade under the night sky, cold and charming.

"So you are also..."

He looked in the direction where Yuying disappeared, murmured softly, then sighed, with a smile in his eyes.

"Tsk..."

"Actually, just now, I just wanted to ask you what your name is."

By the time he finished watching the final scene of the game, the man in the arena had already stood up.

"Superpowers..."

"She is an awakened mutant."

Only a self-awakened superpower can unleash such energy.

Unlike people who gain superpowers through body modification, the energy of those who awaken on their own is more refined and pure, and the talent they can unleash is also higher. Most of the known superpowers in the empire are in the Security Bureau. Even though the NPC Consortium holds the technological lifeline of the empire, there are only a handful of them.

Superpowers can be roughly divided into four categories: attack, support, spirit, and time. Of these, attack is the most common, but super-aggressive superpowers are rare. A common support superpower is healing. Individuals with healing abilities can transfer energy through touch or consciousness to accelerate wound healing, restore physical strength, or cure diseases.

Such people with special abilities can become a valuable resource in the imperial medical field and help restore humanity to health.

Another type of auxiliary power is enhanced strength or speed. These individuals can use their powers to manipulate the muscles or nervous system to improve physical abilities, including strength, speed, endurance, and reaction ability. They can play an important role in combat or special missions.

There is also a special auxiliary power called telepathy, which allows people with this power to read other people's thoughts, perceive emotions, or communicate with each other. Auxiliary powers can also include various other special abilities, such as predicting the future, manipulating elemental energy, interfering with electronic systems, etc. It can be said that auxiliary powers are more rare than offensive powers. Mental and time powers have never appeared before people.

Just like people, superpowers are also divided into levels, and superpower levels are used to distinguish the abilities of superpowers. Superpower levels cannot determine the overall strength of a superpower. The overall strength also depends on one's own talent, explosive power, and family inheritance. Some people who are born with special talents or who are stimulated or have other abilities can stimulate dual superpowers.

According to known statistics, people with dual abilities only account for 0.5% of all people with abilities.

The chief competition officer glanced at the man's expression and asked cautiously: "A contestant illegally withdraws from the competition, which is a serious violation...Should we issue a warrant for her arrest?"

"It's no use."

"She was able to withdraw from the competition, which means her identity was fake from the beginning. Her name was just a code name, and her appearance must have been modified."

The man snorted heavily, his face twisted for a moment and then immediately returned to normal, his tone inexplicable: "The ability of a superpower may be far superior to that of the NPC system... Don't act rashly before you find out her true identity and ability level."

The chief tournament official quickly responded: "Yes. Then the result of this competition..."

"Hmph, that kid is better off."

"Yes, I understand."

When he opened his eyes again, Yuying had been transferred to the arena terminal through the backdoor program.

The AI ​​terminal in the cyber world is a huge virtual screen. These screens are curved, flexible, and even holographic. The whole screen presents a transparent blue hue, like a projection floating in the air. The AI ​​terminal is connected to the super AI system through the Internet, and stores the database of the entire arena, including the entire virtual game world.

"Yu Ying!"

"Yu Ying!"

It was Shi Yuan's nervous voice.

"Stop shouting, I'm here."

In just a few hours in the new world, she experienced more thrilling and exciting things than in her previous life. It really tested her psychology.

However, there is still one most important thing that has not been completed.

"Where is the core database of the arena?" Her voice was calm but unquestionable. "I'm going to destroy it."

Shi Yuan was immediately startled by her. After what happened just now, he also realized that he could not change Wen Yuying's determination, but he still pleaded: "Please give me a copy of the original data before destroying it."

"It has come to this point. It would be a waste if I didn't make money."

His tone began to get excited, and he tried to negotiate: "We'll split it 50-50 after the deal is done. Isn't that good enough?"

Yuying: “…” Speechless.

"So you really did it for money. I shouldn't have helped you."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Yuan begged for mercy and cried, "Sister, I was wrong!"

"I'll give you 60%! Isn't 60% enough?"

This time it was Yu Ying's turn to snort disdainfully, still scolding him: "You are bewitched..."

"People die for money, birds die for food, this is an eternal truth."

Shi Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Seventy percent! Eighty percent! Ninety percent is for you! Is that ok?"

"Please, my little ancestor..."

"It's just a matter of moving your fingers. Don't let me destroy the sign."

As if he saw a humble little paper man begging for mercy in his mind, Yu Ying could only sigh resignedly and walked towards the huge transparent screen in front of him helplessly.

Shi Yuan said that the thing flashing with white light not far away was the core. Various data streams on it kept flashing, and various codes and information were intertwined.

"This won't happen again. If you take such a dangerous business again, you'll have to go on your own!"

When Shi Yuan saw that his five million was about to be settled, he quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, as long as we do it this time, I'll listen to you next time."

Stepping into the white light in front of him, Yuying felt that he was temporarily blinded, until he felt that he had stepped into another cyberspace again, and his vision gradually became clear again.

...! ! !

what is this?

The core database of the arena terminal does not have a huge database, is not equipped with a variety of high-end chips to connect, and does not have a core data carrier.

There was only one...baby in an artificial placenta? !

The thin network of blood vessels on the translucent skin was clearly visible. His small palms were clenched tightly into fists, his heart was beating slowly in his chest, and his brain was connected to a data cable, tightly connected to the interface of the network terminal.

He seemed to be still in a deep sleep...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yuying was so shocked that he couldn't move.

"Yuying, have you gone in?"

"Why aren't you talking? Are you okay?"

Yuying swallowed her saliva and spoke with difficulty: "Shiyuan..."

"There's no data here, just a baby."

Shi Yuan was shocked and confused: "Ah? What are you talking about?"

Her gaze remained fixed on the baby for a long time. The shock and doubt in her heart were no less than Shi Yuan's. She could not understand why a baby would become the core of the arena terminal. Was it because the world was too magical or her imagination was too poor?

"I don't know what's going on. There's only one baby here."

Suddenly, there was a flash of red light before my eyes and a cold warning sounded in my ears.

"Warning! Warning! Warning!"

"Illegal data intrusion! Illegal data intrusion!"

"System security warning! Self-cleaning process is about to start!"

"Oh no, Yuying! The system has discovered us!"

"Come back quickly! Forced to return immediately!!!"

Without much hesitation, she immediately activated the forced return device on her body.

"Locate the coordinates and return to the real world."

"Teleporting in three seconds."

"three……"

"two……"

"one……"

Yuying took a last look at the baby floating in the air. He clearly had flesh and blood and a heart, and was obviously a living person. Why was he hidden here?

Her intuition told her that all this seemed to have some inexplicable connection with herself.
