48: Chapter 48 When there's work to be done, it's the secretary; when there's nothing to do, it's

The second day after awakening his Superpower.

Ye Qingxue was still in the midst of her transformative evolution.

Lin Yuan entrusted her to the care of Ye Qingyue and Bai Xingli, deciding to go out hunting himself.

He needed more seven-colored snowflakes and demon cores.

One Superpower was not enough.

If he could awaken a second, a third... that would be true power.

Moreover, his newly awakened Wood-element Superpower required practical combat to master.

Actually, the most important thing was the system.

Lin Yuan wanted to try his luck.

To see if there were any goddesses that met the system's requirements...

"I might be back late today, take good care of Qingxue."

Lin Yuan said to the two women.

Ye Qingyue nodded obediently: "Be careful, Brother Lin Yuan."

Bai Xingli analyzed rationally: "You just awakened your Superpower and aren't familiar with it yet; be cautious during battle."

Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "Don't worry."

He turned and left the villa, his target clear.

The "Xingyao Group Headquarters Building" in the city center of Jiangcheng.

It was an 88-story skyscraper, once the most prosperous commercial center in Jiangcheng.

According to intelligence Bai Xingli obtained from residual information on the internet, strange energy fluctuations appeared there on the third day of the Apocalypse.

It was suspected that a high-level Evolved Beast was entrenched there.

Very likely... possessing seven-colored snowflakes.

...

Two hours later.

Lin Yuan stood in front of the Xingyao Group Headquarters Building.

The 88-story skyscraper was like a sharp sword, piercing the sky.

But at this moment, it had already turned into ruins.

Most of the glass curtain wall was shattered, the walls were covered in cracks, and bloodstains and corpse remains were everywhere.

Lin Yuan cautiously snuck into the building.

Relying on his terrifying physique of 380 and his newly awakened Wood-element Superpower, he moved through the ruins like a ghost.

Along the way, he saw countless frozen corpses, as well as the torn remains of Evolved Beasts.

Clearly, an extremely tragic battle had taken place here.

Lin Yuan climbed all the way up, reaching the 88th floor via the stairwell.

The hallway was filled with broken office desks and chairs, with computer equipment scattered all over the floor.

He pushed open the door to the rooftop.

Instantly, a terrifying aura rushed toward him!

Lin Yuan's pupils constricted.

On the rooftop, a huge Evolved Beast was entrenched.

It was a giant eagle!

Its body was fully ten meters long, its wingspan exceeded twenty meters, and its feathers shimmered with a metallic purple luster.

Its eyes were like thunder, exuding an aura of destruction.

With every breath, purple electric arcs leaped between its feathers.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, about to make a move.

"Thunder Spear!"

A delicate shout came from the other side of the rooftop!

"Boom—!!!"

A thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, slamming fiercely into the Thunder Giant Eagle!

The giant eagle let out a shrill scream, its feathers scorched by the electricity, but it did not suffer a fatal injury.

Lin Yuan's pupils constricted as he looked toward the sound.

On the other side of the rooftop stood two women.

The woman in the lead made Lin Yuan's eyes light up.

It was a woman of about 27, wearing a black leather combat suit, the tight design perfectly outlining her figure.

Her height was estimated to be 172cm, with a voluptuous figure and stunning curves.

Her proud chest stretched the combat suit tight, her slender waist seemed like it could be grasped in one hand, and her long, straight legs were wrapped in leather pants, full of strength and beauty.

But what was most attractive was her appearance.

An exquisite oval face, with contours so perfect they were nearly a work of art.

Willow-leaf eyebrows exuding an imposing air, phoenix eyes narrow and charming, yet revealing a cold, sharp edge.

A high nose bridge, pale pink lips slightly pursed, revealing the cold arrogance of someone in a high position.

Skin as fair as snow, delicate enough to be broken by a blow.

Long, jet-black hair tied into a high ponytail, revealing a long, graceful swan neck.

Her aura was extremely strong; even in the ruins of the Apocalypse, she still exuded the majesty and pride of a business queen.

Just then.

Lin Yuan's heart stirred.

What an ice-cold beauty.

And she was an Ability User too!

More importantly...

A 27-year-old female CEO, and she was actually still a virgin?

This was simply unbelievable in the business world before the Apocalypse.

It seemed this woman really had poured all her energy into her career.

This woman was Su Yuyan.

The CEO of "Xingyao Group," one of the top ten groups in Jiangcheng before the Apocalypse.

Managing billions in assets at only 27, a legend in the business world, and the dream lover of countless men.

Admiring strength, independent, with extremely high intelligence, she was a true career woman.

Standing behind her was another woman.

About 32 years old, wearing professional attire, with a full and mature figure and a gentle appearance.

Although her features were not as stunning as Su Yuyan's, she was still a rare beauty, and the unique charm of a mature woman gave her a distinct allure.

Holding a knife, she stared vigilantly at the surroundings.

When Lin Yuan's gaze swept over her.

【Ding! Goddess meeting collection criteria detected!】

【Note: Collecting this goddess unlocks new supplies!】

A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

This was interesting.

It seemed her marriage was not happy.

She was Lin Wanrou, likely Su Yuyan's personal secretary and best friend.

A phrase suddenly came to Lin Yuan's mind.

If there's work, do the secretary; if there's no work, do the CEO...

Lin Yuan hid behind the ruins, narrowing his eyes to observe.

After releasing the Thunder Spear, Su Yuyan immediately sensed Lin Yuan's presence.

She turned her head, looking coldly in the direction where Lin Yuan was hiding.

"Since you've come, why hide?"

Her voice was cold, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Lin Yuan felt a jolt in his heart.

This woman had such sharp perception!

He simply stopped hiding, walked out of the ruins, and said indifferently:

"I'm interested in this Evolved Beast as well."

Su Yuyan's eyes narrowed, quickly assessing Lin Yuan's strength.

A powerful aura, an astonishing physique, and furthermore...

She actually couldn't gauge his depth?

This man was very dangerous!

"Hmph, first come, first served."

Su Yuyan said coldly, "We have been preparing for this Thunder Giant Eagle for three days; do you want to reap the benefits?"

Lin Yuan was about to answer.

"Screech—!!!"

The injured giant eagle was enraged!

It roared at the sky, its entire body erupting with violent lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning as it charged toward Su Yuyan!

The speed was extreme!

Su Yuyan's expression changed.

She had consumed a large amount of Superpower releasing the Thunder Spear just now and had no time to dodge!

Lin Wanrou screamed in terror: "CEO Su!"

At the critical moment.

"Grow!"

Lin Yuan shouted, raised his hand, and slammed it down onto the rooftop floor!

Rumble—!

Countless thick vines grew crazily from the ground, like wild pythons emerging from their dens, forming a green barrier in front of Su Yuyan!

"Boom—!!!"

The giant eagle crashed into the vine barrier!

The powerful impact tore most of the vines apart, and the electric current scorched some of them!

But it still successfully blocked this fatal blow!

Su Yuyan opened her eyes wide in shock.

Wood-element Superpower?!

This man was actually an Ability User?!

And to be able to instantly sprout such powerful vines, his strength was definitely not simple!

Lin Yuan said indifferently: "Since I saved you, this Evolved Beast belongs to me."

He raised his hands toward the giant eagle.

"Vine Strangulation!"

Rumble—!!!

The rooftop ground trembled crazily, and countless thick vines broke through the soil like giant pythons!

Entangling the Thunder Giant Eagle from all directions!

The giant eagle frantically released lightning, scorching some of the vines, but more vines followed one after another, tangling tighter and tighter!

"Screech—!!!"

The Thunder Giant Eagle let out a desperate scream, tightly bound by dozens of vines, unable to break free!

It struggled desperately, feathers flying, but the vines were as tough as steel, tightening more and more!

Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his right hand sharply.

"Strangle!"

Crack, crack—!!!

The vines tightened crazily!

The Thunder Giant Eagle's bones were crushed, and its screams stopped abruptly!

Its massive body collapsed, turning into a pool of flesh and blood!

From the attack to the kill, less than ten seconds!

Su Yuyan and Lin Wanrou watched in stunned silence.

They had prepared for this Thunder Giant Eagle for three days and had formulated a detailed plan to surround and kill it.

Yet this man...

Solved it in ten seconds?!

Lin Yuan walked to the flesh and blood, taking out a purple demon core the size of a fist.

A fruitful harvest!

He put the demon core into his system space and turned to leave.

"Wait."

Su Yuyan's voice came.

Lin Yuan stopped and looked at her coldly.

Su Yuyan took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her emotions, and put on a professional smile:

"Sir, I am Su Yuyan, CEO of Xingyao Group. Thank you for saving my life just now."

She paused, her eyes serious:

"I wonder if you are interested in cooperating? In the Xingyao Group building, I have stored a large amount of supplies—food, medicine, weapons, power generation equipment... everything you could need."

"If you are willing to cooperate, I can share half with you."

This was a proposal she had carefully considered.

With her extremely high IQ, she instantly judged.

This man was extremely powerful; if she could win him over, her chances of survival would greatly increase!

Lin Yuan just gave her a meaningful look:

"Not necessary."

Of course, Lin Yuan wouldn't leave.

The purpose of doing this was all to get Su Yuyan on the hook.

After all, his ultimate goal was Su Yuyan...

Su Yuyan was stunned.

She... was rejected?!

With her beauty, intelligence, and abundant supplies, she was actually rejected?!

This man...

What exactly was his background?
