Opening the Giant Mutant Rat Atlas! The Mechanical Genius Girl's Admiration!

The sudden earthquake caught everyone in the stadium off guard.

Fortunately, the earthquake did not last long, ending in just a few seconds.

Instead, the screen above the central Martial Platform suddenly lit up, displaying images of the city center.

This is the perspective captured by a drone.

Lin Zichen looked at the screen and saw that beneath the Crimson Giant Tree in the image, dozens of bottomless caves had collapsed.

The entrance to the cave was pitch black and bottomless, like a black hole in the universe that could devour everything.

None of the well-equipped Mechanical Cyborg dared to venture out to investigate.

They only dared to release the probe robots from a distance, and then control them to enter the cave to investigate.

The probe robot had just approached the edge of the cave.

The next second!

From those pitch-black caves, a huge black shadow several meters long suddenly shot out and rushed toward the exploration robot that wanted to enter the cave with a "whoosh".

In the blink of an eye.

All the released probe robots were torn to pieces by these suddenly appearing giant black shadows.

The next second, a deafening roar of ammunition raining down rang out.

The Mechanical Cyborg clashed with the shadowy figures.

However, in less than ten seconds, the Mechanical Cyborg on the screen were engulfed by the constantly emerging black shadows and completely disappeared from the picture.

Lin Zichen stared at the familiar, enormous black shadows on the screen, his expression instantly becoming extremely solemn.

Giant Mutant Rat!

Those dark shadows on the screen are Giant Mutant Rat that disappeared several years ago!

These Giant Mutant Rat are actually connected to the Divine Plant Cult!

While Lin Zichen looked serious, everyone else around him looked panicked.

"Why are there so many Giant Mutant Rat?"

"It's over, Shanhai City is doomed!"

"I don't want to die..."

Everyone present had seen the video recording of the Rat Disaster in Sakura Sea Nation more than ten years ago, and had also studied it in subsequent teaching materials.

I know how horrific the scene was.

They knew how devastating the casualties were.

Do you know how terrifying Giant Mutant Rat...?

It is no exaggeration to say that almost half of the Sakura Sea Nation was paralyzed as a result.

At this moment, the very land they lived on was now teeming with Giant Mutant Rat, which filled everyone present with a sense of despair.

"With so many Giant Mutant Rat, it feels like Shanhai City is going to be destroyed into ruins by the swarms of rats on the screen, just like the capital of Sakura Sea Nation back then..."

Shen Qinghan pursed her lips, looking quite pessimistic.

Lin Zichen reassured him, "It'll be alright."

He then fell silent, his gaze fixed on the large screen above him, constantly monitoring the situation in the city center.

During this time, people kept coming into the stadium, all looking up at the large screen above.

A few minutes passed.

The stadium, which was originally rather empty, suddenly became packed with people.

Almost all the students in the school with Biological Rank of Ordinary Tier 5 or above gathered in the gymnasium at this moment.

They were all waiting anxiously for instructions before heading to the city center for rescue operations.

"President, do you want to organize something?"

A female Mechanical Cyborg stopped in front of Lin Zichen and asked in a respectful voice.

She was the personal secretary of Zhou Xuehong, the former Student Union President.

After Lin Zichen defeated Zhou Xuehong, she became Lin Zichen's personal secretary.

We need to provide services to Lin Zichen and assist him with his affairs.

Lin Zichen didn't even glance at his personal secretary, and said indifferently, "Let the Vice President organize it."

He became president only to earn Credit; he didn't want to be involved in any real affairs.

"Okay, I understand."

After the female secretary finished speaking, she walked towards the Vice President.

She never intended for Lin Zichen to organize it.

This is just a procedural inquiry to avoid him having any complaints later.

After the female secretary left.

Lin Zichen sensed the presence of everyone present.

Almost all of them were ordinary creatures; there were fewer than 20 Advanced Being.

Most of the Advanced Being in the school went to the Origin Land to resist the beast tide some time ago.

Those who remained were mostly faculty and staff in charge of administration.

Besides the faculty and staff, there were also three Advanced members of the Student Union: former president Zhou Xuehong, Vice President Tan Wanyi, and Discipline Inspection Department minister Han Weifeng.

"Class, please be quiet!"

The deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, a man whose body was covered by metal for more than two-thirds of his body, stood tall and straight on the central Martial Platform and shouted to the students below in a loud voice.

Upon hearing this, the students immediately quieted down to let the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office speak.

The deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office said briefly, "I believe everyone who has seen the footage playing on the big screen knows what's going on!"

"Our Shanhai City center has been attacked by the Divine Plant Cult, resulting in Rat Disaster!"

"In this critical moment, as members of the Shanhai University Inner Campus, we have a duty to go to the city center for rescue!"

"Now, please take your positions according to your Biological Rank!"

"This is the Advanced station!"

"Ordinary Tier 9 individuals, stand over here!"

"Ordinary Rank 8, stand here!"

"..."

"Ordinary Tier 5, stand over here!"

At the urging of Hong Liang, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office.

The students set off to their designated positions and lined up in an orderly fashion.

Seeing that everyone had lined up, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office called out again, "This trip will be dangerous, but it will also be an opportunity!"

"Giant Mutant Rat are terrifying, extremely terrifying, but for us, they are an invaluable evolutionary resource!"

"Under normal circumstances, we need to evolve to Advanced Biological Rank qualify to enter the Origin Land in order to encounter so many Exotic Beast inside!"

"And now, we can encounter so many Exotic Beasts on Earth, and almost all of Exotic Beast are at the ordinary stage!"

"The cost-effectiveness of this far exceeds the cost-effectiveness of us risking our lives to enter the Origin Land and obtain evolutionary resources!"

"Everyone should cherish this opportunity to obtain a large amount of evolutionary resources with minimal risk!"

"Use this opportunity to soar to new heights and change your life!"

The deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office was shouting loudly, giving every student present a huge pep talk.

The students were initially somewhat panicked, but after hearing the words of the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, they were all filled with excitement and their eyes were brimming with anticipation.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen sincerely admired the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office on the Martial Platform.

With just a few simple words, he ignited the passion in the students who were initially filled with fear.

Soon.

Under the arrangement of the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office.

A group of nearly 2,000 people, transported by 40 buses, sped out of Shanhai University and headed straight for the city center.

Nearly half an hour later.

The bus carrying Lin Zichen was the first to arrive at the outskirts of the city center.

The moment the bus stopped.

The Advanced individuals inside the vehicle immediately disembarked and formed a team to head towards the Crimson Giant Tree.

We must rescue any compatriots we encounter along the way.

And, kill every Giant Mutant Rat you encounter along the way.

Seeing the group walking in a large group, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, who was leading the group, called out with a serious expression:

"You are all among the few Advanced experts, capable of holding down a region. It would be a waste for you to gather together and act together!"

"We dispersed and operated individually to expand the rescue area as much as possible and improve rescue efficiency."

"But be realistic about your capabilities, and don't get entangled with too many Giant Mutant Rat at the same time."

"While the individual Giant Mutant Rat are not particularly strong, their sheer numbers make them formidable. If you are entangled by multiple Giant Mutant Rat at the same time, it can be quite dangerous."

After saying this, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office waved his hand and said, "Let's begin!"

The moment the words were spoken, everyone immediately dispersed.

Not a single word wasted.

Extremely proactive.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan also chose to act separately.

But they're not far apart, only a few hundred meters.

At such a close distance, if anything happens to Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen can get there in time to help.

"Boom--!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow burst from the ground and rushed toward Shen Qinghan at lightning speed.

It is a Giant Mutant Rat with eight eyes.

Its Biological Rank was not high, only at the Ordinary Rank 8, far from being a match for Shen Qinghan.

However, this was the first time Shen Qinghan had faced Exotic Beast alone, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Despite her nervousness, she was not afraid of the Giant Mutant Rat charging at her.

Just as the Giant Mutant Rat charged forward, its gaping maw about to bite down...

Her eyes narrowed, her blood and energy surged, and she unleashed a powerful punch at the rat's head!

"Bang--!"

A dull thud was heard.

The giant, nearly seven-meter-long Giant Mutant Rat was blasted apart by a pink fist, its red and white parts scattering all over the ground.

How disgusting... Shen Qinghan felt uncomfortable looking at the blood splattered on her body.

Then, with a sudden thought, he used the [Deep Blue Jellyfish King]'s water control ability to repel all the Giant Mutant Rat blood that was sticking to his body.

After doing all this.

With another thought, Shen Qinghan extracted all the blood from the Giant Mutant Rat's body and condensed it into a drop of Essence Blood that floated on her body.

He then took out a small plastic bottle, no bigger than his little finger, from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, and collected the drop of Essence Blood floating in it.

As for the giant, Essence Blood Giant Mutant Rat corpse on the ground, which was nothing but a stinking shell, she didn't even glance at it and walked straight past it.

This is a technique that Yuan Dongzhi taught her—how to collect loot.

The carcasses of Exotic Beast are usually enormous.

Taking the Exotic Beast's corpse away is going to be a hassle.

Even if you don't mind the trouble and insist on bringing them, you can't take many with you.

When it is impossible to take away the corpse of the Exotic Beast, this method of extracting Essence Blood can be used to take away all the most valuable blood from the Exotic Beast's body.

If it's Advanced or higher-level Exotic Beast, you can take an extra Beast Core with you.

Taking away the Essence Blood and Beast Core essentially means squeezing every last drop of value out of an Exotic Beast's corpse.

On the other side.

Lin Zichen's method of taking away the spoils was even simpler and more brutal than Shen Qinghan's.

He blasted the Giant Mutant Rat to death with a single punch, then used [Survival of the Fittest] to devour it, consuming all the Life Origin contained within the corpse, leaving not a trace.

[You have devoured a large amount of the Life Origin of the "Giant Mutant Rat"]

[Giant Mutant Rat Atlas: 100%]

The moment these two text messages appeared, a Giant Mutant Rat with eight eyes gradually emerged from the Void, digging a hole in a patch of hard, empty soil.

In just a few seconds, the Giant Mutant Rat had dug a bottomless burrow.

The excavation speed was terrifyingly fast.

Soon, the image in the Void disappeared, and in its place appeared two new text messages.

[You have successfully unlocked the Giant Mutant Rat Atlas and gained the Biological Attribute - Digging Instinct]

[Digging Instinct: Your ability to break through the soil has been greatly enhanced]

Lin Zichen glanced at the effect of the [Digging Instinct] Biological Attribute and, seeing that it was just a skill used for digging, shook his head in disdain.

The Biological Attribute [Digging Instinct] is the worst Biological Attribute he has ever obtained from the system, which is the [Survival of the Fittest] Biological Attribute.

"Buzz--!"

Suddenly, a piercing blast of air exploded high in the sky.

The sound kept getting louder and louder.

Something was clearly approaching at lightning speed.

Lin Zichen looked up at the sky upon hearing the sound.

The next scene that came into view was a Mechanical Cyborg of metal, flying at high speed in the sky.

The Mechanical Cyborg the Anti-Airflow Propulsion Device to its maximum power, and in just a moment it flew in front of Lin Zichen and landed, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

After the dust settles.

A tall, slender female Mechanical Cyborg with long, flowing hair and an Energy Core mounted on her chest appeared in Lin Zichen's field of vision with an icy demeanor.

Lin Zichen recognized the female Mechanical Cyborg at a glance.

It was none other than the Mechanical Genius Girl he had watched grow up on television since he was a child.

She can't be called a girl anymore.

She should be called a mature, sophisticated woman.

Because the other person is nearly 1.7 meters tall, her semi-circular curves covered with metal materials are rounded and full, and her legs are long and straight, making her look very sexy.

It has a kind of punk cyberpunk beauty.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Zichen looked at the Mechanical Genius Girl had suddenly landed in front of him and asked with some confusion.

He had never met the Mechanical Genius Girl, and they had no connection whatsoever. He didn't understand what she was trying to do.

"Um... my name is Lv Qingyu. I've always admired you. May I get to know you?"

Lv Qingyu, the Mechanical Genius Girl, blushed slightly as she spoke.

"What?"

Lin Zichen was stunned; he hadn't expected the other person to say something like that.

Lv Qingyu brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, her face slightly flushed, and explained, "I've been watching you ever since you became the Newcomer King of Mountain University."

"I thought you were really amazing and very handsome, so I became a fan."

Every night now, I fall asleep thinking of you...

Is this admiration?

Doesn't it sound more like infatuation?

Lin Zichen raised an eyebrow, finding it quite unbelievable.

He never dreamed that the Mechanical Genius Girl had been a sensation on television for so long would become his little fangirl.

"How about we add each other on WeChat? I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask you."

Lv Qingyu raised her alloy right arm and pressed it against the back of her hand as she spoke.

Lin Zichen wasn't keen on adding him and politely declined, saying, "My phone's dead. Let's add each other another time."

Lv Qingyu: "No need, I've already added you on WeChat and can see your Moments."

Lin Zichen was a little confused. "Added?"

Lv Qingyu smiled slightly, her metallic eyes gleaming with a technological feel. "I just hacked into your phone, logged into your WeChat account, added me as a friend, accepted the request, and then we were added."

"..."

Lin Zichen was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

At this moment, Shen Qinghan, who was hundreds of meters away, ran over, affectionately took Lin Zichen's arm, and asked with some curiosity, "What are you two talking about?"

In fact, she had overheard the entire conversation between Lin Zichen and the Mechanical Genius Girl.

He came here to assert his dominance in front of the Mechanical Genius Girl.

"We didn't talk about much."

Lv Qingyu smiled somewhat awkwardly.

She knew that Shen Qinghan must have heard everything.

After all, they're not far apart.

"My idol, I'll talk to you again after the rescue is over."

After saying that, feeling a little guilty in front of the Empress, Lv Qingyu immediately activated the Anti-Airflow Propulsion Device and soared into the sky, wanting to escape the somewhat awkward atmosphere as quickly as possible.

"Buzz--!"

Suddenly, a piercing whistling sound exploded through the air.

Lv Qingyu ascended to a high altitude, preparing to fly away into the distance, a streak of light, seemingly from nowhere, flashed past her waist at lightning speed, instantly severing her in two and sending her plummeting from the sky.
