Time passed, and another month went by.
Situ Mo, Vitality: 117, Origin Energy: 0.
Upon receiving the test results, Situ Mo frowned deeply. Compared to last month's 112 points of vitality, there had been some improvement, but it was truly far too slow. In fact, much of that improvement had come from the Chaos Crystal Core he had obtained through hunting.
After all, in essence, Situ Mo was merely an F-rank evolved human. Green had forcibly enhanced his physique, but unlike other C-rank evolved humans, this had not improved Situ Mo's ability to adapt to the Chaos Mist.
This was where demons were evil!
On one hand, they granted weaker creatures greater power, magnifying their hunger for strength. On the other, they cut off the paths through which those weak creatures could gain even greater power through their own efforts, leaving them able to rely only on the demon. In the end, they sold everything they had and ultimately became its slaves.
"Kehehehe, such slow growth in power. Who knows when you'll ever advance to B-rank? As for A-rank, there's no hope for it in this lifetime. Do you want to change the world with strength like this, hmm? Kehehehe..."
The demon's temptation greatly disturbed Situ Mo's mind.
"Situ Mo, make your preparations. The annual hunting meet is almost here, and we'll certainly need a C-rank evolved human like you then."
When they were alone, Li Qingya was always very gentle toward Situ Mo, smiling warmly.
Situ Mo nodded, and his heart gradually calmed. Whenever he was with Li Qingya, Situ Mo always felt at peace. Several months had passed without his noticing, and the grief of disappointing his wife and daughter had faded away. Perhaps it was time to begin a new journey in this apocalyptic world.
"Understood."
