0008 Breakfast! The best cheer-up tool!

[Black Light Virus Evolution Awakening Progress Increased! Current Progress: 0.2%! Additional Attributes Boosted: Strength +15, Agility +15, Constitution +15, Spirit +15! Life Recovery Speed +200%!]

Awakening from slumber.

The enhancement of attributes, the further awakening of the Black Light Virus, made Chen Bai feel a surge of power throughout his body. Glancing at Chu Xin, who was still asleep, Chen Bai got out of bed.

As Chu Xin woke up and saw the empty bed, memories of last night flooded back. She sat up, feeling the aftermath of the craziness from yesterday, feeling a bit aggrieved. Especially the things that guy said, how could she accept them?

With a heart full of grievances, Chu Xin got dressed. Just as she stepped out, she saw Chen Bai at the table holding a plate of stir-fried beef noodles.

Instantly, all of Chu Xin's grievances vanished as she exclaimed, "It smells amazing! You can cook, and it's so delicious?!"

Chu Xin reached out, but Chen Bai slapped her hand away, saying, "Go wash your hands, they're full of bacteria!"

With the talent of the Virus King, Chen Bai had a much greater control over bacteria, leading to a heightened awareness of hygiene.

Walking into the bathroom with a pout, Chu Xin muttered, "Yesterday, it was your stuff all over my hands, now suddenly it's all bacteria!"

After washing up, Chu Xin emerged. Then, she did the most embarrassing thing in her life: she devoured the food with gusto. Even Chen Bai couldn't help but twitch his lips, saying, "How hungry are you?!"

"It's so delicious! Chen Bai, you're amazing! How did you make this breakfast? I believe now it's not takeout, I've practically tried all the nearby ones, and none are this good!" Chu Xin praised.

Chen Bai was used to such compliments, especially after last night. "If you like it, eat more. It's rare to have such a leisurely breakfast nowadays."

Chu Xin paused, not giving it much thought. This mysterious man had her completely enamored.

Little did Chu Xin know, Chen Bai spoke the truth. After the apocalypse, although the diet of advanced Evolvers remained largely unchanged and even more luxurious with access to rare ingredients, the sense of ease and tranquility was gone.

Chen Bai sighed. However, his attention quickly shifted to Chu Xin, who was not dressed as strictly as usual. Blushing, but not avoiding his gaze, Chu Xin made him speechless.

There was nothing more to say. As he said, the leisurely days before the apocalypse were indeed precious.

Most importantly, to obtain a large number of virus samples and gain talent evolution points, this little nurse in front of him was the greatest help.

He didn't want to go back to the hospital and deal with the crowd again, let alone what troubles might be waiting there!

"Hey! Stop it!" Soon, the two chairs at the table became one.

"Don't mess around, eat on your own, I'm having breakfast!" Chen Bai complained first.

However, at that moment, an untimely phone call interrupted them.

Chu Xin furrowed her brows, about to hang up the call, but Chen Bai stopped her abruptly, "Don't hang up, answer it!"

Chu Xin shot Chen Bai a coquettish glance, but still answered the phone, even picking up a dumpling with a hint of elegance.

As expected, any woman was a natural actress, especially when dealing with different people in their hearts.

Like the voice coming from the phone:

"Where are you, Xin'er?! Why aren't you replying to my messages?!"

"I'm having breakfast. Also, Liu Feng, what's our relationship that allows you to call me like this?!"

Obviously, the voice on the other end was shocked by Chu Xin's words and remained speechless for a while.

"Xin... Xin'er..."

"I'm Chu Xin, if you have something to say, do it quickly. I'm busy here! Huh..."

Hearing Chu Xin's breathless voice on the phone, Liu Feng, though a lickspittle without much practical experience, was well-versed in theory. Being scolded by Chu Xin over the phone made him lose his cool:

"Chu Xin, what are you doing?!"

He couldn't keep quiet, and his voice became louder and more furious, even more bone-chilling than some Japanese teachers Chu Xin encountered before.

Chu Xin, at this moment, completely ignored the angry roars and insults from the other end of the phone. Chen Bai also paid no attention. Even in this apocalypse, Chen Bai felt that nothing could lift his spirits better than this!

Seven days, fourteen hours, fifty-three minutes, and six seconds until the outbreak of doomsday.

Back in the dormitory.

On Chu Xin's side, Chen Bai had done his best. Whether he could bring any surprises or help to himself depended on the little nurse herself.

As for the specific reasons, Chen Bai could only deceive and intimidate.

A research experiment explanation was enough; as for delving deeper, how could he explain it?

Chen Bai was a researcher of bacteria and viruses. What were his specific research projects and tasks?

Mainly responsible for the project: "Being researched"?

Or perhaps, researching oneself?

Chu Xin's IQ was greater than sixty; even she wouldn't continue to work under such circumstances.

Although it's said that the IQ of a woman in love is zero, it's not actually zero!

Just a few vague words were enough.

Anyway, he didn't want to go to the hospital again and feel the strange gazes of the uncles and aunts.

Most importantly, what if there's another zombie outbreak? Would he intervene again?

Even if the response from the authorities was slow, they would know something was wrong.

Although the temptation of a tenfold increase in explosion rate and experience coin rewards was significant.

But obtaining a precious blueprint for initial weapon equipment, Chen Bai was already satisfied.

Although he absorbed a lot of zombie viruses, they were still provided by the evolution points.

It shouldn't be a problem when the doomsday erupts.

And these are just low-level zombies. If it's those evolved mutant zombies, or even zombie lords, or the so-called undead zombies born with intelligence in the trials of gods and demons in the next decade, then what?

The virus in their bodies is the main source of evolution points.

Although thinking about constantly dealing with these zombies in the upcoming doomsday journey, Chen Bai felt a bit nauseous.

But thinking of those future gods, who will manifest themselves in various forms on the Blue Planet and seek representatives in the midst of the apocalypse, Chen Bai's determination rose again!

The trials of gods and demons are also the arena for the competition of gods in the universe. With every legend of the trials of gods and demons, there are new gods born and old gods fall!

Who says he can't be one of them?

Kings, nobles, and generals, who wouldn't want to be one!

Thinking of this, Chen Bai glanced at his empty dormitory once again, opened his laptop, and directly accessed the Universe Will Evolution Pioneer Forum he created yesterday!

The forum wasn't deserted.

Apart from the greeting post pinned by Chen Bai, there were actually several visitor posts.

This was normal; never underestimate the ability of keyboard warriors on the internet!

[Is this some new game forum?! Universe Will Evolvers!? I searched, but there doesn't seem to be such a game or guild recently!]

[I've seen the White Emperor! The Blue Emperor returns! /doge]

[Hahaha, the moderator is so edgy, but also interesting! Where is the moderator from, handsome?]

[...]

Chen Bai glanced at these posts, all of this kind of talk. But he didn't mind because, according to the normal way of thinking, even if someone truly awakened early and became a pioneer of the trials of gods and demons, they wouldn't post so openly on the forum seeking help, but rather...

Chen Bai's eyes slightly narrowed, turning to his lit-up red dot, private messages!

Sure enough, although he had almost forgotten his forum account and password, not to mention having any friends, now, the time of this private message was just a while ago!

[I'm really not a sock puppet: Big brother, what does this forum mean? Is this some new disease? I really saw it...]

Chen Bai smiled slightly.

Looking at the IP address, it was not far away: Magic City.

So, who sent him this private message? Someone from the previous life who awakened early?

Or maybe someone who never revealed themselves, or had already passed away?

Chen Bai didn't know, but he didn't mind showing his original intention for creating this forum.

[Bai: What's your talent?]

In the later generations, such inquiries might cause a backlash, and people wouldn't pay attention to you.

Talent is an important part of strength and also a confidential secret that cannot be easily revealed.

Of course, except for talents like Chen Bai's last life virus resistance, which didn't have much use for directly enhancing combat power.

Otherwise, talents like those with reconnaissance skills or talents would not be fiercely contested!

Chen Bai believed that anyone who could awaken early was an S-class or above talent!

In fact, it was as he expected. Almost two minutes later, a reply came!

[I'm really not a sock puppet: S-class talent 'Mental Mastery'!]

Chen Bai raised an eyebrow. This was a talent related to the four-dimensional attributes, especially the mental attribute. Such mage-like professions must be extremely powerful!

But Chen Bai confirmed that the other party was not some famous emperor or saint from the previous life.

He couldn't remember which powerful mental talent from the previous life rose in Magic City!

And most importantly, this kind of talent enhancement was extremely single!

Although it greatly improved mental abilities, without a corresponding mental damage skill, it was difficult to safely pass the initial stage when facing zombies!

People like Chen Bai, with the SSS-class talent like the Virus King, who chose to enhance their talent abilities in multiple directions, were indeed too rare and precious.

However, such a person had considerable cultivation value and growth potential!

He continued to chat with the other person...

[I'm really not a sock puppet: So, does that mean the countdown to doomsday is real?]

[I'm really not a sock puppet: That's great...]

[I'm really not a sock puppet: Thank you, big brother...]

[I'm really not a sock puppet: Do you know...]

[...]

It was evident that the other person was young and lively, chatting from morning until almost dusk.

But just when the other person was still enthusiastic and sharing their awakening experience and talent abilities without any precautions, Chen Bai's phone suddenly rang.

It was the nurse he hadn't seen all day.

Chen Bai's eyes lit up, but as soon as he answered the call, he heard the panicked voice of the nurse on the other end:

"Chen Bai, where are you? Please, help me..."

A cold glint flashed in Chen Bai's eyes!
