[You looked at the dwindling food in your backpack and kicked Black Demon One away. You suspected it might be the reincarnation of a pig spirit.]
[Black Demon One continued to wag its tail wildly, pathetically trying to curry your favor.]
[At night, the two of you took a risk and robbed an unmanned convenience store.]
[The next day, you were chased around like rats by a patrol squad.]
[Their firepower was fierce, and you got a glimpse of the City of No Night's true strength.]
[Your pursuers were a mixed bunch, including extremely strong and swift Genetic Enhancers and Genetic Empowerers who could control fire and ice. You even saw mechanical beings disguised in human skin, while the special operations team members with firearms became mere foils.]
[You and your pet were pursued from six in the morning until nine at night, howling in pain as you were beaten.]
[Your great strength offered some resistance, but your average speed meant you could never shake them.]
[The enemy was overwhelming, so you chose to avoid a direct confrontation for now, secretly vowing to settle the score once your divine skills were perfected.]
[You and Black Demon One escaped to a secret passage.]
[Clearly, the enemy was unaware of this location.]
[With the city's nobility no longer providing cover, your pursuers could finally attack with full force.]
[The seemingly solid city wall was blasted, leaving a massive black hole!]
GURGLE, GURGLE, GURGLE...
Chen Pingchuan's stomach rumbled, warning him of its emptiness. This simulation had lasted longer for him than any before, and it was time to go downstairs and recharge.
At the break of dawn, the air around the breakfast stalls was thick with the smells of cooking.
Chen Pingchuan found an empty spot in a corner and ordered three bowls of soy milk, twenty deep-fried dough sticks, and ten large meat buns.
Perhaps due to his greatly increased strength, he felt as if he could eat an entire cow.
While devouring his food, Chen Pingchuan continued to read the simulation information.
[The pitch-black hole was particularly conspicuous.]
[From inside the City of No Night, it looked as if a spatial black hole had suddenly appeared at the edge of a cloudless sky.]
[From the outside, it was even more dazzling. The dark night was torn open, allowing light from within to spill out and attract the Black Demons roaming the streets and alleys.]
[You breathed a sigh of relief, as the City Defense Guard no longer had time to deal with you two intruders.]
[The Guard quickly built defensive barriers, calling for reinforcements while resisting the onslaught from the swarming hordes of Black Demons.]
[The Black Demons weren't strong compared to the City Defense Army, but their numbers were overwhelming.]
[The Black Demons closest to the hole attacked first, but their small numbers prevented any severe impact.]
[However, more and more Black Demons converged on the location, their numbers becoming incalculable.]
[Defensive alarms blared throughout the entire City of No Night, sending the once-leisurely aristocrats into a panic.]
[Amid the chaos, you captured a City Defense Army officer and learned of Liu Yaofei's whereabouts.]
[In the past few months, the City of No Night had only dispatched a combat unit once: to search for the City Defense Officer's son.]
Huh, so Liu Yaofei has that kind of backing?
Chen Pingchuan stuffed the last two buns into his mouth. He then left the money under his bowl, gave the owner a nod, and departed for the bus stop.
As he bathed in the refreshing morning breeze, an awkward expression crossed Chen Pingchuan's face.
He suddenly remembered that his simulated self seemed to have completely forgotten about his sexy landlord, Huang Yujia, and his so-called brother, Li Dafu.
It's too late now, and agonizing over it won't help. I'll just have to remind myself next time.
[You found the City Defense Officer's residence, but he was nowhere to be seen. Instead, you made an unexpected gain: you acquired a little lolita.]
[Seeing the girl, several words flashed through your mind: Lolita, lace and ruffles, bows, short skirt, knee-highs, flat shoes.]
[Your mighty and imposing presence didn't frighten the girl. Instead, she seemed very curious about where you came from.]
[Too lazy to deal with her, you put on a ferocious look and even called out Black Demon One to intimidate her, hoping she would reveal Liu Yaofei's whereabouts.]
[You succeeded and failed.]
[The girl told you Liu Yaofei's location; he should have already reached the Surface's Strongest Genetic Transformation Academy in the Great Ming Capital.]
[She added that, barring any accidents, you would likely never meet again in this lifetime.]
[You grew curious about the girl's identity and tried your intimidation tactic again.]
[This time, however, the little girl simply looked at Black Demon One and burst into laughter.]
[You reached out to grab her, but she caught your hands and swung you into the air.]
[With one of you in each hand, the little girl treated you and Black Demon One to an invincible, fiery pinwheel.]
[You and your precious pet were beaten by the little girl until you were howling in pain.]
Damn, is this the true power of the City of No Night?
The bus rattled as it drove over the uneven road. Chen Pingchuan's mood lurched with the vehicle, his jaw dropping as he processed the information from the simulation.
It had introduced several new terms: Genetic Enhancer, Genetic Empowerer, and Mechanical Being. Now, it had added the Surface's Strongest Genetic Transformation Academy.
Most importantly, who the hell is that little girl? If my calculations are correct, my strength attribute in the simulation should be over five points, even in a worst-case scenario.
He began to wonder if his simulated self's eyes were failing him. What kind of lolita could effortlessly swing a grown man around?
A Violent Lolita?
[Just as the three of you were "playing," an alarm, even more shrill than before, resounded throughout the city.]
[The little girl's giggles stopped, and the smile vanished from her face.]
[She said she would remember you and told you not to leave. She wanted to "play" with you again when she returned.]
[Then, the little girl vanished before your eyes.]
[You felt as if your bones were broken and your entire body had fallen apart. Black Demon One's tail stopped wagging. You both shared the same grim future.]
Chen Pingchuan shuddered. Those few short sentences were enough to make him feel the chilling power of words. He could feel the pain even through the simulator. Experiencing it himself was completely out of the question.
[Humiliated, you swore revenge. While the city's elite fought at the hole, you and Black Demon One launched a sneak attack on the power station, completely crippling the electrical grid on the city wall.]
[But that alone could not quell the fury in your heart. You and Black Demon One attacked the main gate of the City of No Night, opening Pandora's Box.]
[As time passed, agonized howls echoed through the city, and you realized you might have made a terrible mistake.]
[No longer caring about Liu Yaofei's whereabouts, you slipped away!]
[You kept your promise and returned to the cement factory with Big Waves.]
[After informing Guo Yihang, you chose to go into seclusion again.]
[One month later, the moment you opened your eyes from your slumber, you saw a nightmarish figure.]
