Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold

Passersby were stunned, involuntarily stopping in their tracks, whispering to each other:

"Where did this beauty come from?"

"How come I’ve never seen her before?"

However, someone in the crowd recognized Zhi Xi and whispered:

"Isn’t that the Fierce Beast?"

"This Lin Lang is just too arrogant, daring to stroll her around our Special Agent Bureau!"

"This is clearly provoking us!"

...

Hearing this, Zhi Xi, already tense, immediately got teary-eyed, feeling incredibly wronged, muttering to herself:

"You’re the Fierce Beasts! I’m a merfolk Little Princess, okay!"

Lin Lang, however, remained very calm, as if he didn’t take these words to heart at all.

He gently patted Zhi Xi’s hand, comforting her:

"Don’t mind what they say, you are uniquely you."

Although those people were angry, they only dared to whisper and didn’t dare to make loud noises, clearly afraid of Lin Lang.

Zhi Xi, feeling Lin Lang’s calmness and protection, gradually relaxed her mind. She held Lin Lang’s hand tightly, stood up straight, and gradually became more confident.

As Zhi Xi’s confident demeanor emerged, the consensus within the crowd began to shift.

Someone couldn’t help but say:

"Is she really a Fierce Beast? So beautiful, I’d believe it if you said she was a fairy!"

Another person chimed in:

"I heard she’s a mermaid; merfolk shouldn’t count as Fierce Beasts, right?"

"That’s right, merfolk are generally kind, they should be considered elves!"

"Wow, I’m so envious..."

...

Lin Lang and Zhi Xi were leisurely walking, unknowingly arriving at the venue of the martial arts tournament.

Yesterday, the qualification matches were held here.

And today, it was the exciting final.

As soon as the two stepped into the venue, instantly, everyone’s attention was drawn to them, as if they were firmly attracted by a powerful magnet.

Zhi Xi’s beauty was truly outstanding; she stood there like a dazzling pearl, emitting a radiant glow that was hard to look away from.

This radiance even caught the attention of the big shots on the judging panel, who were usually well-experienced, and their eyes were filled with amazement and curiosity.

In that instant, Old Chief Wei Tianxing’s gaze suddenly darkened, as if he had captured some special aura in the air.

The bespectacled fat man next to him suddenly looked grim and roared in anger:

"That’s an S-Class Fierce Beast! This Lin Lang is simply too outrageous, brazenly bringing a Fierce Beast to flaunt around our Special Agent Bureau! Does he really think no one dares to stop him?"

Before his words fell, his aura surged violently, a powerful suppression spreading, as if he was about to take action against Zhi Xi the next second.

At this critical moment, Zou Limu hurriedly said:

"I’ve already talked with Lin Lang, and that young lady is from the Merfolk Race, not a Fierce Beast. The Merfolk Race is an ancient species that’s existed on Earth for a long time, and they pose no threat to humans."

However, the bespectacled fat man was full of disdain, snorting coldly:

"Merfolk Race, come down to it, they’re still Fierce Beasts! Those who are not of our kin are sure to have different hearts! What’s more, that’s an S-Class Fierce Beast; in my opinion, they should all be eradicated to prevent future troubles!"

At this moment, Old Liu from the Alchemy Department stood beside Zou Limu and, smiling, said to the fat man:

"That’s incorrect! Even before the apocalypse, the law was protecting animals! Harmony and coexistence between humans and nature is the conduct that aligns with the Heavenly Dao."

Zou Limu nodded in agreement after hearing this.

...

At this moment.

Lin Lang and Zhi Xi were standing on the edge of the audience area, not intending to go to the judges’ booth.

Seeing this, Zou Limu turned to Wei Tianxing and saluted, saying:

"Chief, I’m going to have a word with Lin Lang."

After speaking, he quickly walked towards Lin Lang and Zhi Xi.

Old Liu saw this and hurriedly followed.

He was calculating his own little plans, now eagerly wanting to get on Lin Lang’s good side, hoping that Lin Lang could teach him Alchemy to improve his own alchemy level.

...

After Zou Limu left, the atmosphere in the judges’ booth became slightly awkward.

The bespectacled fat man was still incessantly complaining, his face full of resentment:

"I really don’t understand what Mr. Zou is thinking, insisting on bringing in some so-called ’internet celebrity’ to our Special Agent Bureau, and even giving such generous treatment. What does he think this place is?"

"That Lin Lang is even more out of control, he should be kicked out!"

"Otherwise, others might think our Special Agent Bureau is a seafood market, where any Tom, Dick, and Harry or dead fish and shrimp can come here to sell for a high price!"

...

Hearing the fat man’s complaints, Wei Tianxing frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he did not immediately express it.

At this point, another judge smiled and mediated:

"You can’t say it like that. Lin Lang’s strength is indeed undeniable! After our observation for this period, he’s at least an SS-Class. Although not necessarily stronger than us older guys, among the young, he indeed stands out."

The bespectacled fat man snorted, disapprovingly saying:

"Young people just don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth! It’s just because I see some talent in him, that I hold an appreciation for him and endure him repeatedly! But if he acts recklessly and presumptuously again, then don’t blame me for taking action to teach him a lesson!"

After speaking, he looked at Lin Lang coldly, his eyes full of hostility.

As if, if Lin Lang were to make any move that displeased him, he would immediately take action.
