Yang Xiao felt that there was a clear hint of flirtation from the female No.25.

But why would she do that?

Something felt very odd to Yang Xiao. According to his intuition, these women, like the Iron Tower Warriors, were not low in cultivation.

Could it be because I’m handsome?

Yang Xiao stood uncertainly in front of the bathroom mirror in his room.

”Sure, I’m quite handsome, but not to the extent of making beauties pounce on me the moment they see me!”

He smiled at his reflection and walked over to the window of the room. Through the glass, he could see the general situation of the entire Magic City.

In his first two years of university, his father had specifically taken him to visit Magic City once. He remembered that, at that time, Magic City was full of skyscrapers, extremely prosperous, and was the economic center of Xuanming Country. It was also a super metropolis ranking within the top ten in the entire world.

But what lay before his eyes now was a vast expanse of whiteness, with most of the high buildings collapsed. The building of the Global Financial Square where Yang Xiao was located was the tallest building in Magic City. In this bleak world, the skyscraper seemed particularly lonely.

The room had electric lights, heating, and a supply of hot water, just like the world before the apocalypse.

Yang Xiao even began to doubt whether he was dreaming, pinching himself a few times to confirm it wasn’t a dream.

Then, his eyes brightened as he saw an LCD TV on the wall of the room.

There couldn’t possibly be TV, right?

Despite knowing there wouldn’t be any TV programs, he still turned on the TV.

A moment later, the TV screen showed a night view of Magic City with the words ”Magic City Broadcasting and Television Company” written on it. Then, the screen flickered a few times indicating there was no signal source.

Yang Xiao turned off the TV.

He went to the bed and touched the quilt with his hand. It was very clean, without dust, and his mind drifted to the shadow of a beautiful girl from the mansion and the images of people from the Genetic Store, including Gu Bo.

Yang Xiao always felt there was something amiss, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

He slowly drifted off to sleep on the bed.

The next time Yang Xiao woke up, it was to the ringing of the phone.

The sound of the telephone made Yang Xiao sit up reflexively.

It had been over half a year since he last heard a phone ring.

He picked up the landline phone by the bed, and a clear, crisp voice of a girl came through.

”Mr. Yang, it’s time for lunch. You may dine in the restaurant on the second floor.”

The voice sounded very much like that of the service girl with the No.25 tag he had encountered in the hallway.

Yang Xiao said thanks, hung up the phone, and feeling a stir inside, he picked up the phone again and dialed his parents’ home number.

The result was that the call could not go through.

Yang Xiao thought for a moment, concluding that this was probably the hotel’s internal phone, which couldn’t dial out.

This five-star hotel was fully equipped and hadn’t suffered any damage. As long as power was connected, all the electrical facilities in the hotel could function normally.

With the capabilities of this mysterious planet, providing an independent power source for this building was probably not difficult at all.

Yang Xiao left the room and passed by the service counter in the hallway. The girl with the No.25 tag nodded at him and walked over to the elevator, pressing the button for him.

The No.25 girl stood with dignity, fair-skinned, and of excellent temperament.

She gave Yang Xiao a slight smile, which made his heart seemingly melt.

The feeling was quite peculiar: Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were also great beauties, and in terms of looks, they weren’t inferior to this girl. However, Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were still very pure, like fresh lotus flowers that make people fond yet not impulsive.

Yang Xiao paused but didn’t lose his composure too much; he thanked her and entered the elevator.

To his surprise, there were two people in the elevator, one tall and skinny and the other bulky and fat.

The chubby young man glanced at Yang Xiao and said:

”Whoa, finally there’s someone else! Hey, buddy, hello, you’ve come for the City King conference, right?”

Yang Xiao froze for a moment, before the man eagerly continued:

”My name is Ouyang Cheng, I’m the City King of Yunwu City.”

The chubby man had a simple and naive smile, looking quite affable.

Yang Xiao replied with a smile:

”My name is Yang Xiao, from Nanmu City.”

They shook hands, and the man next to the chubby man was named Ouyang Hai, a subordinate of his, accompanying him to the City King conference.

The elevator stopped at the 2nd floor, and right in front of the elevator doors was the restaurant. There stood two equally glamorous women and two Iron Tower Warriors at the entrance of the restaurant.

Ouyang stepped forward, took out his nameplate, and handed it to the woman at the door. After verifying, she smiled slightly and said, ”Please.”

As Ouyang Hai was about to follow him in, the Iron Tower Warriors stopped him, coldly stating:

”Nameplate.”

Ouyang Cheng quickly turned back and said:

”He’s with me; he’s my subordinate.”

The glamorous woman at the door said:

”This restaurant is only for City Kings to enter. All guards and attendants can dine at the restaurant next door.”

She pointed towards the entrance of another restaurant a few meters down the corridor.

Left without a choice, Ouyang Hai muttered something and walked away disgruntled.

Yang Xiao took out his nameplate and entered the restaurant with Ouyang Cheng.

It was a buffet-style restaurant that could accommodate two to three hundred people dining at the same time. Yang Xiao quickly scanned it and saw that there were only thirty people eating.

It was Yang Xiao’s first time in Magic City since the apocalypse, and his first time seeing City Kings from various places, which made him feel somewhat curious and excited.

Yang Xiao picked up a plate and began to get some food.

He realized he had never seen these foods before.

”Is this food from Earth?”

Yang Xiao muttered to himself.

Ouyang Cheng chuckled,

”Who cares, as long as it doesn’t kill us. Hell, I haven’t had greens for so long, and they actually have them here.”

Upon seeing a basin of fresh green vegetables whose name he could not recall, Ouyang Cheng picked a few and placed them on his plate. Yang Xiao did the same.

Due to unfamiliarity with all the dishes and not knowing their flavors, Yang Xiao simply picked a few items and then sat down at an empty seat.

Ouyang Cheng also came over and sat opposite Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao picked up a green vegetable and put it in his mouth, which was crisp to chew, similar to a radish. However, it had a slightly bitter taste. Just after a few bites, a powerful surge of electricity instantly coursed through his body.

Holy shit!

Yang Xiao was immediately surprised. This surge of electricity was far stronger than the current from any mutated creature’s meat he had eaten on Earth, and it was almost as powerful as the liquid refined from the Black Bottle.
