Chapter 38 - Equality of All Life

Feeling disgusted by this Neon fatty's bad taste, Chu Heng cleared away all the useless things before looking at the two seeds he had collected from him.

He looked at the first one. It was the "Beastlike Class—Pig" superpower of Shanjian Yezhong.

Chu Heng curled his lips in disdain and looked at the other Crystal Core. His heart skipped a beat and his eyes burned.

This was a Energy-Inducing Seed that Chu Heng had been looking for.

At this moment, the system's mechanical voice sounded in Chu Heng's ears.

Detected that the effect of this item depends on the user himself. It is random. Analyzing now…

Analysis in progress…

'What the hell?'

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment, but soon, the system's voice sounded in his ear again.

Analysis complete.

Just as Chu Heng was wondering what this analysis was for, he suddenly realized that the hidden hint for the Energy-Inducing Seed had changed.

Energy-Inducing Seed: It can guide the player to awaken an innate ability. The type and number of abilities awakened depends on the user. It is random.

Usage Requirement: Player's Strength, Agility, and Constitution attributes have reached the limit.

Host's Special Abilities: Mystical—Mimicry, Special—Battle Arena

Mystical—Mimicry: Can replicate and store other players' superpowers for use. The amount and energy consumed increases with the level of the superpower. The effect of using other people's superpowers increases with the level of the superpower.

Special—Battle Arena: It can instantly pull other creatures into a special space. No special abilities can be used in the space. After being used, it consumes all the current energy. The duration of the arena is determined by the energy consumption. It cannot be upgraded.

"Damn, heaven-defying! Not to mention that the ability is terrifying, there are actually two of them?"

Chu Heng stared at the hidden hint with his mouth agape. His heart was beating violently, and he felt a strong sense of nervousness that he had not felt in a long time.

These were not Mimicry or Battle Arena.

This was clearly 'everyone is equal'.

Chu Heng suddenly remembered a classic pretentious saying.

"None of them can fight…"

Previously, he was still hesitating about whether to choose an Energy-Inducing Seed or an Energy-Bearing Seed. He was waiting to choose a superpower like "Light and Darkness" or "Time and Space".

Now…

"Only children make choices. I want them all!"

At this moment, the wailing stopped. Zhang Xiaodao walked over and interrupted Chu Heng's excitement.

"Boss, it's all taken care of!"

Chu Heng came back to his senses and nodded with an expression of uncontrollable excitement.

An Ya, Meng Yue, and Zhang Xiaodao looked at Chu Heng in confusion. From the beginning when they first met Chu Heng, Chu Heng had always been a person who did not show his emotions. This was the first time he had shown such intense joy.

Feeling the gazes of the three of them, Chu Heng suppressed the joy in his heart and calmed down.

Glancing at the two Neon male corpses that did not show any zombie characteristics and the corpse of the middle-aged man who had died miserably in the depths of the clothing store, Chu Heng nodded in satisfaction.

"I'll tell you something next!"

Chu Heng took out the Elementary Partnership Contract and signed his real name where the owner of the contract was.

The three of them were instantly attracted by the ancient parchment in front of them.

"This is an Elementary Partnership Contract. You can understand it as a team mode in the game. After signing it, you won't be able to cause any damage to the contract partners. At the same time, there will be a very good attribute enhancement."

"Would you like to be my teammates?"

Chu Heng said slowly as he scanned the three of them.

"I would!"

Zhang Xiaodao was the first to speak.

Chu Heng interrupted him and continued.

"Don't rush into agreeing yet. I want you to think this through before you decide."

"From my point of view, the spots on the contract are precious. And after we become teammates, I'll invest a lot of resources in you. I don't want to hear one of you say you want to leave before long."

Hearing Chu Heng's words, the three of them fell silent.

Chu Heng was very realistic. After establishing the team, it would definitely be up to him where the team went.

This meant there was a good chance they would have to give something up.

For example, An Ya's father was in the West Continent. What if Chu Heng didn't plan to go there in the future?

Another example was Zhang Xiaodao. If he encountered 'Master Meng' and Chu Heng was unwilling to have a conflict with him, what should he do?

These were all very realistic things placed in front of them.

In the silence, Meng Yue raised her hand first.

"Can I, Boss?"

"I'm from a single-parent family. My dad's in the city. If we pass by, can you help me get him out?"

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment. He had only just found out that Meng Yue came from a single-parent family. Thinking of the stubbornness and tenacity she had displayed previously, he suddenly understood.

"Sure!"

Chu Heng's expression softened as he handed the contract to Meng Yue.

Meng Yue took the contract and signed her name without hesitation.

As she signed her name, the parchment suddenly glowed.

Immediately, Chu Heng realized that there seemed to be a connection between him and Meng Yue.

However, his attributes had not changed because he had reached the limit and could not continue to increase them without being awakened.

"Boss, I'm willing too." Zhang Xiaodao took a deep breath. "I'm confident that I can live very well with you. As long as I'm alive, there's hope for everything."

Chu Heng smiled at him and handed over the contract.

Another name appeared on the parchment.

An Ya was the only one left on the field who had yet to make a decision.

There was a long silence. Finally An Ya made her decision.

Just as Zhang Xiaodao had said.

As long as he lived, there was hope.

As long as they lived, they would meet again.

As An Ya signed her name, Zhang Xiaodao immediately realized that something was wrong and exclaimed.

"Damn, why did my attributes suddenly increase so much!"

"The enhancement of this contract is too terrifying!"

Hearing his words, Meng Yue and An Ya were also shocked. They hurriedly checked their attributes and looked at Chu Heng blankly.

Chu Heng rolled up the parchment and put it in his ring. He smiled at them.

"That's what contracts are for. With me at the center, for every contract partner that exists within a thousand meters, all of our stats increase by ten percent. There can be up to four partners other than me."

"In other words, as long as we find another partner, our attributes will increase by 50%?"

An Ya's mouth dropped open in surprise.

Chu Heng nodded.

"This is too abnormal…" Meng Yue said sincerely. Then, she added," Fortunately, I'm the beneficiary! "

The few of them laughed out loud.

Their eyes were filled with relief.
