Several days had passed since the apocalypse outbreak. Survivors who normally didn't like to stockpile food had run out of supplies in their hos. The feeling of hunger was unpleasant, and they began seeking food through various thods.
The residential community group chat was flooded with ssages begging for food, but almost no one was willing to share their limited supplies with others. So pleaded humbly, while others cursed angrily. Many people specifically asked Li Xuan for food, but he rely read through the ssages without replying.
They couldn't offer anything equivalent in value to food, and Li Xuan wasn't so great philanthropist, so naturally he wasn't willing to share.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Xuan found an open space and began exercising.
Exercise inevitably consud calories, increased appetite, and accelerated food digestion, but Li Xuan didn't care—he wasn't short on food.
While it might seem like physical exercise offered low returns compared to obtaining supernatural abilities and enhancing physique in later versions, that wasn't actually the case. Each version had its unique characteristics, and only by following the version's rules could one progress further.
It was like if soone gave Li Xuan a cultivation manual right now—he still couldn't practice cultivation. Not for any other reason than Blue Star simply didn't have spiritual energy at this ti!
Without spiritual energy, no matter how talented you were, you couldn't cultivate!
The purpose of exercising wasn't to dramatically improve his physique in a short ti, but to ensure he wouldn't suffer from leg and back pain during intense activities later.
Squats, push-ups, planks... Li Xuan exercised systematically and thodically, gradually increasing his workout intensity.
After persisting for an hour, Li Xuan was drenched in sweat, and the floor had gained several sweat stains. He sat on the carpet, opened his phone, and noticed several new ssages.
Several more people in the hoowners' group had asked him for food, which Li Xuan chose to ignore.
The downstairs neighbor had also sent a ssage, asking what he was doing and why there had been constant noise.
Li Xuan rembered the downstairs neighbor—a very beautiful woman, quite tall. He heard she was 177cm barefoot and 179cm with shoes, with excellent body proportions, long legs, a short upper body, giving her a very elegant appearance.
Many people said she had poor taste because she fell for a rebellious young man without a house or car, reportedly less than 160cm tall. When they stood together, they looked like siblings.
Li Xuan had long forgotten her na and had her saved in his contacts as "Long-Legged Woman."
He thought about it but didn't reply.
No particular reason—just couldn't be bothered.
After a while, Long-Legged Woman sent Li Xuan another ssage along with a video.
[Long-Legged Woman: Is this you?]
Li Xuan frowned slightly and opened the first video titled "Both Are Transformation Ability Users, Why Is the Gap So Massive?"
A prehistoric colossus resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex roared, its massive size looking less like a dinosaur and more like a space monster from Ultraman animations.
The video was short, beginning with the prehistoric colossus speaking human words: "You're just too weak," followed by a soul-shaking roar. The gigantic body ran, making the ground tremble slightly. Street lamps touched by the colossus twisted and deford. The video seed to be captured by a streetlight cara that was affected, resulting in fragnted, blurry footage. At the end, the video captured a person's back view.
[Worldly Wise: ??? Is this the kind of ability that should appear at this stage? It's not even in the sa dinsion as other transformation ability users! I report! Soone's cheating!]
[Porky Knight Tastes Good: We have T-rexes now, might we get galodons too? If land is this dangerous, maybe we should hide in the ocean instead.]
[Life Darkened for 30 Years Because Lent Light to Tiga: First, that's not a T-rex. Real T-rexes aren't that big. Rough estimate puts the colossus at about 33 ters. There's a clip showing the creature's back with wings. Though compared to its overall size, the wings look decorative, they're definitely larger than golden eagle or hawk wings—more like dinosaur wings in movies.]
[So What If I Give You 100,000 Years: A super giant dinosaur with wings. Those bloggers showing off their transformation abilities online are clowns compared to this thing. Combined, they'd barely stand a chance against this monster. The larger the size, the greater the actual power gap—completely different levels.]
[Eyes Holding a Lion: Taking orders! Awaken prehistoric colossus transformation ability within three days!] — 8,561 replies.
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes. He wasn't surprised that his ability had been exposed.
His transformation was too conspicuous, and the city he was in was full of caras. With the network not completely broken yet, exposure was inevitable.
As for what if his transformation ability beca targeted?
He wouldn't have just one transformation ability in the future!
What surprised him was that Long-Legged Woman had recognized that back view as him.
The final segnt of the video was extrely blurry. Even coworkers familiar with Li Xuan might not recognize him at first glance, yet Long-Legged Woman had actually identified him!
He rembered he hadn't spoken with Long-Legged Woman more than a few tis.
[Li Xuan: Not .]
[Long-Legged Woman: Liar, that's definitely you. I recognized you imdiately.]
...Five minutes later
[Long-Legged Woman: Say sothing, why aren't you talking?]
[Long-Legged Woman: I won't tell anyone, please talk to .]
Li Xuan didn't reply—he had already gone to take a shower.
Before long, night fell. Li Xuan lay in bed, emitting even breathing sounds.
Around 1 AM, after repeatedly confirming that Li Xuan was asleep, Yun Xiuzhi forced her head through the cage bars, used her bird beak to grip the cage latch, lifted it upward, and opened the cage.
She wasn't planning to escape—there was food and drink here, why would she leave?
It was just that after staying in the cage for several days, she was utterly bored and wanted to co out for so fresh air.
The white pigeon stealthily left the cage, raising her claws high and placing them down gently without making a sound. She took two steps, then glanced back at Li Xuan sleeping on the bed, behaving like a thief.
Huh~ Li Xuan's phone lock screen.
Yun Xiuzhi was overjoyed and gradually approached Li Xuan's phone.
'Let see if Li Xuan has anything interesting on his phone!'
'Hehe, maybe Li Xuan has a diary habit.'
Yun Xiuzhi reached the phone, looked down, and saw a pigeon head.
Well, it was exactly her transford pigeon image.
Yun Xiuzhi's body stiffened as she realized the phone was in front cara recording mode.
Not good!
Yun Xiuzhi inwardly panicked, then imdiately heard the voice she least wanted to hear at this mont, causing her body to tremble several tis involuntarily.
"You're a pigeon not sleeping, getting up in the middle of the night to play with phones—does that make any sense?" Li Xuan's voice sounded from behind.
