Liu Bing held the Weirdness Descends System he had just stripped away and shook his head helplessly. This thing was far more slippery than the Chat Group. The instant it discovered him, it had sent a message to the Main System. This place was probably about to get truly lively.

But Liu Bing could do nothing about it. He had not expected the system to be so cunning. It seemed that after losing two systems here in a row, the others had grown smarter. Still, let them come. He had been prepared for this anyway.

At Sunshine City's night market, Zhou Nuo arrived early, set up her fruit tea stall, and began working after making all the necessary preparations.

She deftly picked up a large orange and skillfully peeled it. Then she placed it into the juicer and pressed the switch. A buzzing sound rang out, and before long, a cup of fresh, delicious orange juice was ready.

Just as Zhou Nuo was focusing completely on making the next cup of juice, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her finger. Yet when she lowered her head to look, she found no wound at all. Several customers were already waiting in front of the stall to buy drinks, so she had no time to worry about such a minor pain and continued concentrating on her work.

However, she did not notice that a tiny black dot had appeared on her right hand at some point and was slowly moving up her arm. Just as the black dot reached her elbow, Zhou Nuo happened to turn around and accidentally slammed her elbow into the stall cart's frame. The point of impact was precisely where the black dot was!

In an instant, the black dot, which had been crawling slowly, stopped moving.

But Zhou Nuo knew nothing of this and remained wholly immersed in her business. For someone like her, who suffered countless bumps and knocks whenever she got busy each day, such an accident was far too ordinary.

After an entire night of work, Zhou Nuo finally sold all the prepared fruit after turning it into fruit tea, then closed up for the night.

Exhausted, she pushed her stall cart back to the tiny warehouse she rented. After entering, she parked the cart securely, shut the warehouse door, and then dragged her weary feet home.

By the time she had washed up, it was already past one in the morning. She collapsed onto her bed and quickly drifted off to sleep...

After she fell asleep, her right hand suddenly began to squirm. Soon, an eye appeared in her palm, and her right hand eerily propped itself up. That eye stared coldly at Zhou Nuo, its murderous intent unmistakable.

But soon, the killing intent in the eye faded. It fell silent once more and turned back into an ordinary arm, showing no further abnormality.

Liu Bing stood in the void, watching Zhou Nuo's right hand. Stroking his chin, he said, "That's a Parasitic Beast, isn't it? This girl is really lucky. By sheer coincidence, she actually stopped the Parasitic Beast from invading her brain. Looks like she's someone with good fortune too. I'll observe her for now. If her character is decent, I can nurture her."

Afterward, Liu Bing saw many other strange species invading the world, but he did not stop them. None of them were particularly difficult to deal with, so they could serve as this world's beginner invasion phase, giving its people a chance to adapt.

These newly invading species did not immediately start causing trouble either. They all went into hiding, as though waiting for the right opportunity.

Since they were not causing trouble for the time being, Liu Bing stopped paying attention to them and began repairing the Chat Group system. Rather than repairing it, though, it was more like sending it back to the factory for repairs. He directly sent the Chat Group, in the form of a phone, to Nuwa.

Nuwa quickly sent the Chat Group back. Liu Bing logged in and saw a whole group of strange people.

Hong Huang Melon King, Hong Huang Funeral Services, Hong Huang Heaven's Will Maintainer...

Those titles made Liu Bing's scalp go numb. Had these great powers not had enough fun with their own Chat Group? Was their own Chat Group not entertaining enough? Why had they come to his Chat Group?

[Hong Huang Little Shrimp]: Big shots, what are you doing here? [Hong Huang Melon King]: Little Bing, we're just bored. We saw that you started a Chat Group, so we thought we'd come in and have some fun. Don't worry, we usually stay submerged and won't talk. [Hong Huang Melon King]: Besides, we're in the inner Chat Group. If we speak without permission, the outer Chat Group won't be able to see it. [Hong Huang Funeral Services]: That's right. Playing cards while watching the fun in the Chat Group isn't bad either. Hurry up and invite people. It'd be best if you made the Chat Group livelier. [Hong Huang Melon King's Eldest Disciple]: That's right, hurry up and invite people. We're waiting to watch the fun. [Hong Huang Melon King's True Eldest Disciple]: Sinu, I'm the eldest disciple. Change your screen name. [Hong Huang Melon King's Eldest Disciple]: Xuan Nu, nonsense. I'm the eldest disciple. You clearly said that whoever won that round of cards would get to use the Eldest Disciple title as their screen name. [Hong Huang Melon King's True Eldest Disciple]: I didn't lose. Empress Nuwa fed her the winning tile! [Hong Huang Melon King's Eldest Disciple]: Just tell me whether I won the hand or not. [Hong Huang Melon King]: Are you saying I lost? [Hong Huang Melon King's True Eldest Disciple]: No! [Hong Huang Melon King's Eldest Disciple]: No! [Hong Huang Funeral Services]: Oh, stop arguing, stop arguing. Why don't you go outside and fight? [Hong Huang Melon King]: Houtu, is that how you stir things up? Why don't you just call yourself the Primordial World Flame-Stoking King?

Seeing the group suddenly become so lively, Liu Bing shook his head helplessly. What could he say? They were all big shots he could not afford to offend, so he could only let it be. Fortunately, this was the inner panel of the Chat Group, so ordinary group members could not see it.

He looked at the Chat Group's new interface and found that there were not many changes. The exchange list was the same as before. It seemed this Chat Group still needed to be upgraded gradually before he could exchange for Pangu Components.

Finally, Liu Bing looked at the invitation section. There was only a single invite button on it.

Liu Bing tapped the invite button, and a new member immediately joined the group. Before he could even look at the new member, someone in the inner Chat Group mentioned him.

He took a look.

[Hong Huang Old Farmer]: Little Bing, when you're able to exchange for my component, exchange one and let me take a look. [Hong Huang Little Shrimp]: Got it, great god. I'll definitely meet the exchange requirements as soon as possible. [Hong Huang Old Farmer]: No rush. Time means nothing to us anyway. Take it slow and don't put pressure on yourself. [Hong Huang Little Shrimp]: Got it. [Hong Huang Heaven's Will Maintainer]: Great god, are you planning to follow the internet cable to find the assembly factory? [Hong Huang Old Farmer]: Yes. I want to go have a chat with whoever's in charge and ask whether they can stop selling components under my name. It's quite unpleasant. [Hong Huang Heaven's Will Maintainer]: Why not just go straight there? [Hong Huang Old Farmer]: Well, you need to catch them with the evidence. I should bring proof when I go. After all, I'm a civilized man, so I can't be unreasonable.
