Happy Little New Year, Everyone (⑉°з°)-♡
The flames Ignite the night, turning the entire city into a sea of fire.
Driven by the intense heat and flames, the variant fled in droves to the edge of the city.
The area surrounding the hotel was completely engulfed in flames. Barrels of Gasoline were being poured onto the buildings as if they were free, burning countless variant to death and raising the air temperature by more than ten degrees Celsius.
With each breath, my throat felt burning hot.
"That bastard Black&White, he's totally playing with fire..."
When Li Changyu was finally hoisted back to the hotel rooftop by Li Tong ropes, he was practically completely burned. Not only was his hair gone, but even his eyebrows were completely gone.
If everyone's Life could be represented by Data-like, Li Changyu believed that right now, "-1", "-1", "-1" would be constantly popping up in his head...
"There's no way around it; among everyone, you have the highest resistance."
He handed over a bottle of Mineral Water and West Pavilion Gardener to speak.
"After all, your body was... are you sure you're okay?"
Looking at Li Changyu's head, which had slipped off his neck and rolled haphazardly in front of him, West Pavilion Gardener fell silent for a moment.
"Do I look perfectly fine to you? Who knows what that bastard did to my body..."
The headless body spontaneously walked up to the West Pavilion Gardener, then bent down, reached out and picked up the head, automatically attaching it to the neck.
"I can control my body within a certain range, but I can't control it beyond that range. I'll wait until we get back to the Station and see if the Doctor there can help."
Li Changyu straightened his neck and adjusted the position of his head with hands before speaking seriously.
"As for now, please call me Chi Man Qi."
"You call yourself Chiman Qi? I think you're nothing but a Gulu Shou."
Rolling his eyes, OriginDeficit Que, who was leaning against the wall and panting heavily, spoke up rather irritably.
"Let me make it clear beforehand, if you take out those precious Figurine now, don't be sad if we take them apart later."
As the Unique telekinetic remote operator in the team, he was responsible for setting up the entire security zone on the rooftop, which exhausted him greatly.
"Um... can I just take one out?"
After hearing OriginDeficit's words, Li Changyu, still in the act of taking something out of his Inventory, tried to bargain.
"It's rare to come across such an Anomaly. Do you know how many years this has been my dream?"
"No... aren't you afraid your wife will turn into one of those weird things?"
OriginDeficit looked utterly exasperated.
"Or is what you took out originally some kind of Evil God Figurine?"
"No, it's not some Evil God Figurine."
Li Changyu spoke seriously.
"She's my Hainei Wife."
"..."
At this point, the seven Player had gathered on the hotel rooftop.
However, while they are called Player, four of them now resemble Anomaly more than Anomaly themselves...
The Unique here who are at full combat strength are Xihe_Tu_Shuge Tingshi, OriginDeficit, and Chang Xi.
Fireworks and Romance had half of their Spiritual Energy Value, Li Tong only had one-third left, and as for Panties and Li Changyu, their Spiritual Energy Value had long been depleted, but thanks to their physical attributes, they could still fight.
However, their actual combat strength... is better than nothing.
More than an hour later, with the sudden disappearance of a bottle of Mineral Water placed on the edge of the wall by the Fireworks of Romance, Bai Zhi, covered in blood and with burn marks Explosion marks all over his clothes, appeared on the hotel rooftop.
Frankly speaking, judging by appearances alone, Bai Zhi's current situation is far more dire than any of theirs.
His entire body was covered in wounds, large and small, with an irregularly bent joint on his left arm. Blood soaked through his clothes, and a dozen black eyes appeared on his skin.
Upon seeing this, the seven people on the rooftop immediately swarmed over.
"Are you alright?"
Looking at Bai Zhi kneeling on the ground in front of him, Li Changyu felt a little uncomfortable and asked him a question.
He had cursed the other party fiercely when he was chosen as bait, but now it seemed that what the other party was going to do was dozens of times more dangerous than what he had done.
What else could he say?
"..."
Li Tong Bai Zhi's body and the rather horrifying stapler marks on his wounds, but remained silent.
When the other person gave him a stapler and tape to treat his wound, he thought they were deliberately making fun of him...
"There's no need to push myself so hard. My mobility isn't bad either; I could actually go with you."
The West Pavilion Gardener also sighed.
"Stop crowding around! Get out of the way!!"
Somewhat annoyed, he pushed aside the people next to him, and Fireworks of Romance, who was almost wrapped up like a mummy, hurriedly squeezed in carrying a medical kit.
"Let me treat your wounds and clean them up first. This kind of rough treatment is really..."
"Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing?"
Having finally found an opportunity to interrupt their conversation, Bai Zhi looked utterly bewildered as he watched Fireworks of Romance reach out to undress him.
"Stop fooling around, treat the wound first."
Seeing Bai Zhi step aside, Fireworks of Romance's expression immediately darkened.
"You've done well enough, now..."
"So when did I say I needed treatment?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi switched his Title from [Prince] to [The Dominator].
The attributes of this Elite Level Title are simple and easy to understand, and quite practical. After activation, one's physical condition will recover to a point within 24 hours.
With a flash of pale Golden Light, Bai Zhi stood up from the ground unharmed. Not only were the wounds on his body completely healed, but even his tattered clothes were now brand new.
"As expected, this kind of recovery is somewhat similar to reloading a save/load... It's a pity that items and such don't refresh."
After briefly assessing his condition, Bai Zhi shook his head slightly.
Although the previously depleted Spiritual Energy Value was restored to full, the more than 2,000 Spiritual Energy Storage in the Ring of Shadow did not seem to be restored along with it.
The recovery here refers solely to the physical aspect.
"You, you..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Isn't it normal for Player to have a few Trump Card?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi looked completely self-assured.
"You think I would put myself in danger? Absolutely not!! From the very beginning until now, everything has been under my control!!"
Everyone: "..."
"Oh, by the way, I brought you a small gift."
As if suddenly remembering something, Bai Zhi snapped his fingers mysteriously.
"Look up at the Tian Kong, and observe carefully—"
As Bai Zhi finished speaking, Fireworks burst open in the night sky, trailing long tails, from the rooftops of dozens of buildings in the distance.
A spectacular Fireworks display unfolded before them.
"... You still have time to do this?"
Everyone, including West Pavilion Gardener, was stunned as they watched the dazzling Fireworks in the night sky.
They searched for Fireworks in the store, moved them to the rooftop, and set a timer to ignite them. There were so many Fireworks here, and even more were rising into the night Tian Kong Fireworks, blooming brilliantly...
So what exactly did this guy do outside???
"Fireworks and firecrackers are a must for Chinese New Year; otherwise, it just doesn't feel like the New Year."
Holding up a finger, the person wore a serious expression.
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"
In the silence, OriginDeficit's voice weakly broke through.
"The New Year is still a long way off, you've got the date wrong..."
