After leaving the shelter, Feng Qi headed east directly.

The living dead and death worms he encountered along the way became targets for him to vent his emotions. The depression in his heart was released during this period.

Punching and kicking as he advanced, he realized that his physique had clearly improved again.

Be it his bounce or strength, they were stronger than before.

In fact, he had also thought of doing nothing and only relying on hunting monsters in future dreams to strengthen himself.

However, after careful consideration, he still gave up on this choice.

If he had endless money to replenish his energy, he could indeed do this. Although fists could not solve all problems, they could solve most problems.

The problem was that he did not have enough money to waste at all. The benefits of adopting this method of becoming stronger were the least, and he would not be able to solve the many hidden problems in history.

For example, the reason why Mu Qing massacred the cities could not be resolved by relying on the strength increase from hunting monsters in the future dream.

Therefore, before he had enough funds, he did not plan to use his strength as his main method for the time being.

However, he would not let go of any opportunity to increase his strength.

Amidst the whistling of the cold wind, Feng Qi’s figure shuttled through the wilderness filled with bones.

After walking for an unknown period of time, the city ruins appeared in sight.

He immediately quickened his pace and looked around vigilantly to prevent himself from being ambushed by potential domain creatures.

Before finding Suction Cup, he felt that it was better for him to be careful.

His strength had indeed increased greatly compared to the beginning, but it was still not enough against a domain creature.

Turning into the street entrance of the city ruin, what appeared in front of him was a street filled with cracks and gravel. Plants of various shapes had already grown out of the cracks. The tilted buildings on the left and right seemed ready to collapse at any moment and rusty steel rods were already revealed.

The dilapidated scene in front of him was like the end of the world in a movie.

Although the layout of the buildings here was slightly different from what he remembered, he roughly knew the direction of the abandoned district. He immediately stepped forward and continued east.

As he advanced, he was very careful.

He was not afraid of death, because no matter what, he would not be able to escape Blackie’s pursuit. He only feared that his death would be worthless.

[Ding, ding. You turned to look at the 3 o’clock direction and realize that there appears to an inconspicuous gray plant that is in fact, indeed inconspicuous growing not far away.]

Puzzled, Feng Qi turned to look in the three o’clock direction. His gaze focused on a gray plant.

This plant was completely gray and its leaves were like feathers. It was covered in fine fur. Just as the narrator had said, it was inconspicuous and did not have any characteristics compared to the surrounding weeds.

He walked to the plant and squatted down to size it up.

“Narrator, what’s the use of this thing?”

[You dug into the soil and realized that a fiery red fruit had actually grown on the rhizome of this inconspicuous plant, so you decided to bring it to Suction Cup as a snack!]

Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.

“What do you mean? Suction Cup likes to eat this?”

[You were suddenly reminded that Mu Qing’s ability is to devour food to obtain strength and she is able absorb food nutrients to quickly repair her body’s injuries. You wonder if Suction Cup who is extremely similar to Mu Qing can also absorb energy from food to heal her severely injured body? Perhaps she might even obtain the strength to defeat Blackie.]

After listening to the narrator’s roundabout explanation, he suddenly understood what the narrator meant.

The extent of Suction Cup’s strength could be found in history.

She had once resisted the expansion of the Silver Moon Domain Field alone and dispersed it. After that, she became famous.

However, she was also severely injured because of this. The rune crystal embedded in her left arm shattered in that battle.

During this period, the residents of Star City had thought of many ways to come into contact with her and heal her.

However, she was vigilant towards everyone and they could not come close at all, so the injuries on her body had yet to heal.

In the previous few battles with Blackie, Suction Cup had actually not displayed her true combat strength at all.

The narrator’s words reminded him of a way to prolong his stay in the future dream.

That was to help the Suction Cup find food that could heal its injuries. Perhaps she could even defeat Blackie after recovering her combat strength.

Without Blackie’s pursuit, it would be equivalent to having infinite time to stay in the future dream for him.

Even if he did not have an authorized account to read the contents of the database, he could still become stronger by hunting monsters.

Even if Suction Cup could not defeat Blackie, after her combat strength increased, she could prolong the time he had in the dream.

“Thank you for the reminder. Perhaps I can give it a try.”

[You’re welcome. Just trust me. How can I harm you? After all, even a vicious monster will not eat its cubs.]

“Scram!

He dug up the soil, and just as the narrator had said, a fiery red fruit grew at the root of the gray plant.

He broke the rhizome and took off the fruit. The rhizome broke and immediately emitted a rich fragrance, and milky white juice flowed out.

“Will there be any effects if I eat this fruit?” He could not help but ask curiously.

[Yes, it works like an aphrodisiac. The effect is excellent.]

Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes.

In the future dream, he had yet to grow that thing. Clearly, the narrator was beating around the bush to tell him that it was useless.

Taking a deep breath of the fragrance in the air, he immediately walked towards the east.

Along the way, the narrator gave several instructions, allowing him to find three more spiritual plants.

In the real world, special products such as spiritual plants and spiritual mines could only be found in domain fields with rich Spiritual Qi. Such plants seemed to be everywhere in the future world.

During this period, he realized that the narrator seemed to have the ability to “explore and perceive”.

This was because the narrator could always sense things within a certain distance and analyze the specific abilities and effects of the item.

This was merely a guess he had. He asked the narrator, but it ignored him.

He continued east. It was slightly inconvenient to travel with the spiritual plants, but he did not choose to let go.

These spiritual plants were nutrients for the Suction Cup to become stronger, and they were also a guarantee that he could extend his stay in the future dream.

[Perhaps you need a special ability that allows you to store things.]

“What?’

Hearing the narrator’s reminder, Feng Qi, who was holding the red fruit in his left hand and the three spiritual plants in his right, could not help but ask curiously.

[Prefix Title: Space. After obtaining it, you can open a small space in your body. It can be used for storage and transportation. It’s a good ability for family travels, murder and arson.]

“Is there such an ability? How can I obtain it? Which domain creature do I need to hunt?” he quickly asked.

[I don’t know. I’m just a heartless fishing robot.]

Feng Qi: ***

Realizing that the narrator was baiting him again, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

What was certain was that since the narrator mentioned it, such an ability definitely existed.

Perhaps the narrator felt that with his current ability, he could not hunt domain creatures that could allow him to obtain the prefix “Space”, so it did not reveal this information.

The narrator’s words made him look forward to the “Space” ability.

However, what he wanted more was unlimited memory.

After obtaining this ability, the benefits of entering the future dream would increase greatly every time he entered. The development of spiritual energy technology could also begin to be planned.

The various domain creatures in the future dream were like a “mystery boxes of abilities” in his eyes.

After killing them, he would obtain a prefix title related to the biological characteristics of this domain creature and obtain this ability.

Compared to cultivation in reality, this method of becoming stronger was like cheating.

As he chatted with the narrator from time to time, he crossed three blocks and arrived at the abandoned district.

From afar, this abandoned neighborhood was completely different from what he remembered.

To be more precise, this was no longer a neighborhood, but a hospital, but it was still dilapidated.

The outer facade of the building had peeled off and was covered in moss and vines. The red-bottomed white cross logo at the top hung at an angle and was connected to rusted cables, as if it might fall off at any moment.

Before walking into the abandoned district, he began to observe the nearby situation.

The butterfly effect would cause the future in every dream to change slightly. Perhaps Suction Cup would not be here this time.

Therefore, it was better to be more vigilant.

After confirming that his surroundings were safe, Feng Qi walked into the abandoned hospital.

The hospital was already under the rule of plants. On the floor, the walls, the ceiling.. All kinds of plants grew savagely, occupying any area in sight.

As he explored the corridors of the abandoned hospital, his gaze kept scanning the surroundings, ready to escape at any time.

After more than ten minutes and finding nothing, he prepared to go up to the second floor to continue investigating.

At this moment, the narrator’s voice sounded in his mind:

[You turned your head to look in the 10 o’clock direction. The ground about three meters away seems to be different.]

Hearing the narrator’s notification, he did not hesitate and immediately walked to the location mentioned. Then, he punched the floor.

Crack!

The ground shattered, revealing the rusty black metal below.

Puzzled, Feng Qi pulled out the weeds around and swept away the shattered gravel.

What appeared in front of him was a black metal secret door. There was a green light flickering in the center of the secret door.

Realizing that there was a space similar to a shelter underground, he scanned his surroundings and realized that there were no instruments that could carry out a blood test.

Therefore, he waved his fist and punched the secret door twice, causing him to grimace in pain.

The material used to build this secret door was similar to the black stone tablet in Star City Shelter. With his current strength, he could not destroy it.

“Narrator, what’s down here?”

[No idea.]

With doubts in his heart, he did not insist and decisively chose to give up.

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He thought of something. Previously, when he entered the future dream, Suction Cup would always appear near this area. He did not think too much about that.

However, after entering the future dream this time, he knew that Wei Wei might have a certain connection with the Suction Cup. It was even very likely that Suction Cup was replicated and nurtured by Wei Wei using Mu Qing’s genes and rune crystal.

Therefore, the base of the Scarlet Research Institute was very likely the birthplace of the Suction Cup.

Now that human civilization had ended and the Suction Cup was still lingering near this area, was there such a possibility that the underground base of the Scarlet Research Institute was below the black secret door?

Which was where the Suction Cup was first born.

“Narrator, is that possible?”

[I can’t rule out this possibility, but you can’t verify it because you can’t open this secret door at all.]

“That’s not necessarily the case. As long as I have a weapon in my hand, it’ll be like there’s a god helping me. There’s no defense that I can’t break through.”

[Don’t embarrass yourself. Even without you, Suction Cup can do it. You’re just an accessory responsible for throwing her out..]
