"Oh? My dear niece wants to be the champion?"

Looking into Lu Fei's sly eyes, Cao Huai knew that this girl was probably up to some mischief again.

"Hey, I don't care about the championship, what I really find annoying are those guys from the base!"

"I'm happy as long as they're unhappy!"

Lu Fei waved her hand modestly, but as soon as she finished speaking, a familiar mechanical voice rang in her mind.

[Ding! System has issued a mission: Please help Hongjian Base win the championship. The reward is a base shield that can protect against zombies and any physical attacks!]

[Ding, system has issued a mission: please find clues about the zombie mutation. The reward is the Thousand Faces skill, which allows you to freely customize your appearance, gender, height, and overall look...]

[Both tasks can be completed simultaneously, so good luck, host!]

Upon hearing the first task, Lu Fei's eyes lit up. The base's protective shield was a great thing. She was worried that if she offended the people from Tiangang and Tengshe bases, they might come back to cause trouble for her own base.

With this protective shield, even flies can't get in, so there's no need to worry about those people plotting anything.

We really need to win this championship.

But... clues about zombie mutation? What the heck is this? Didn't it mutate because someone was bitten by a zombie?

"System, explain yourself clearly. Do you know something? Why do your missions always come at the right time and in such a strange way?"

[Host~ I'm just an ordinary little administrator. The tasks are all assigned by the main system and have nothing to do with me~~]

Since joining your service, I've been incredibly diligent. For you, I've fought countless battles with the other system. Look at my head, it's practically bald from all the plucking! How can you doubt me?

The honey badger in my mind has now transformed into a whiny monster, rolling around and complaining about its grievances.

Lu Fei frowned and stared at it for a while, but couldn't find anything, so she gave up.

"Then I misunderstood you. Next time you have any inside information, tell me in advance so I can be prepared."

【Okay, host~~】

Upon hearing that Lu Fei had forgiven it, the little system immediately stood up, raised its front paws to bow and thank her. Its adorable appearance made it hard to blame it, thus ignoring the guilty look in its eyes.

Having accepted the mission, Lu Fei couldn't afford to slack off too much.

"Ahem, well, I'm a little interested in the championship, especially if we face off in the match later..."

Lu Fei felt slapped in the face too quickly, and she stammered as she spoke. She regretted not bragging earlier.

But before she could finish speaking, Yin Sheng walked over with a smile.

"Oh dear, if my niece likes the championship, then go ahead and take it. We're just here to observe and follow you around, getting a little something in return."

Feiyu, you stay close to Lu Fei in this match and don't let her get injured, or you'll be held responsible.

Seeing Yin Sheng fawn over him, Qiu Huai quickly gave the young man some instructions.

"You too, the competition isn't important, the main thing is to take good care of Lu Fei. If I see any of you treating my niece badly, get out of the base and never come back."

Fei'ang, you're still Lu Fei's cousin, you need to be even more careful, understand?

After Qiu Huai finished speaking, he looked at Yin Sheng provocatively, as if to say, "You didn't expect that their base has such close relatives, did you? Hehe!"

"Base Commander, don't worry. I'm not after anything else, just the fact that I can eat roast chicken and a bag of snacks with crystal cores. I'll treat Miss Lu like royalty."

The people at Cangyu Base have truly benefited. During their time assisting with the reconstruction, their palates have become quite discerning, and for the sake of their future culinary desires, they dare not offend Lu Fei.

Seeing that his right to speak had been taken away, Cao Huai couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. He then turned to his nephew, hoping to get some good news.

As a result, Cao Zhengyu kept his head down, playing with his nails, and didn't even look at him. This attitude of giving up said it all.

"You worthless piece of trash, you've already got the upper hand, can't you be a little more proactive?"

"As long as you can trick...cough cough, win over Lu Fei, wouldn't our military region be able to do whatever we want?"

Cao Huai looked at his nephew with disappointment and frustration. He shouldn't have become a leopard; he should have become a stubborn donkey.

"Instead of relying on me, you should try to deal with Lu Fei's mother; the effect will be the same."

Cao Zhengyu's words left Cao Huai speechless. A rare blush flashed across his still charming face. When he came to his senses, he gave his nephew a whack.

The Cao family doesn't use women to climb the social ladder; if they did, how would they be any different from that bastard Lu Zhen?

It's obvious that my nephew wouldn't stoop to doing that.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between his father and cousin, Cao Kai quickly leaned close to Cao Huai and whispered in his ear that his nephew had killed someone for Lu Fei, and that Lu Fei had even inquired about his nephew's background. Cao Huai's eyes lit up.

Oh my, something's up. Love often evolves from curiosity.

Today you can ask about someone's background, tomorrow you can ask about their three dimensions, and the day after you can ask what their name is!

Seeing that his uncle's mind was about to explode with idioms, Cao Zhengyu moved back a little, speechless.

The reason he followed Lu Fei was because he found life boring; he really didn't have any feelings for her.

"Pfft!"

Standing next to Cao Zhengyu, Mo Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, her bright blue eyes under the blindfold fixed on his back.

While the uncle and nephew chatted about crickets for a while, they had a heated discussion about their cooperation strategy for the competition—they unanimously decided to take Lu Fei as the lead, as she could carry them to victory.

"Alright then, since you uncles trust me so much, I'll give it my all."

After Lu Fei agreed to let Phoenix and Cangyu bases join, the base leaders were overjoyed, as if they had found a treasure.

This puzzled the other base members who passed by. They thought, "She's just a pretty woman. Why would she be so eager to fawn over her, even if she's ranked the entire base?"

Ignoring the complex and sarcastic looks from others, the group arrived at the rest area. By this time, the base leaders of the nine bases had all arrived, and even the participants were almost all there, waiting for the competition.

"Come, come, my dear niece, sit here and see the gift your uncle has prepared for you: a Gatling gun that emits blue light."

Cao Huai patted the box the guard was carrying and excitedly explained the gun's performance to Lu Fei.

Not to be outdone, Qiu Huai quickly twisted off a large leg from the roast chicken on the plate and handed it over.

"Oh, what's so interesting about those old guns? Food is the most important thing for people. Look at our roast chicken, it smells delicious!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Yin Sheng secretly pulled Lu Fei aside.

"Feifei, Uncle Yin couldn't get you any roast chicken or Gatling gun, but he knows your base is short of supplies. I've already sent clothes and shoes by convoy. Oh, and there's a bunch of strong young men too. Feel free to use them."

Looking at Lu Fei's obviously bright eyes, it was clear that Yin Sheng was the winner of this competition.

Qiu Huai and Cao Huai couldn't help but roll their eyes and complain: "He's a real old fox. You can't outsmart him."

"Hmph, she's just a purification type, what's so great about her? No matter how powerful she is, she's still just a woman and can't live without a man's protection."

"For a base commander to go to such lengths, what, is she your biological father?"

Seeing the base commander of the Blazing Fire Base looking disdainful, before Lu Fei could speak, a figure rushed over beside her.
