Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills-Chapter 197 - The Last Dinner, Return

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Time passed quickly, and soon, more than half a year had passed.

In the past half a year, Zhou Chen, Li Guofu, and the others first found a remote and less polluted place and established a small shelter.

Not long after, Zhou Chen and Lucy encountered the small team led by Teresa when they were collecting supplies in a ruined city. They established contact with her and quickly formed an alliance.

After that, the shelter became larger and larger. It was mainly managed by Teresa, Li Guofu, and the others. Zhou Chen focused on training and would be responsible for fighting when necessary.

One month, after learning that the Calamity Grade monsters had broken out again, one of the cities belonging to Nete Tech was severely damaged. Zhou Chen rushed to take advantage of the situation to finish off one of the leaders of Nete Tech. At the same time, he obtained many high-tech industrial machines.

With these resources, they established a few tech factories, allowing their shelter to develop further. Teresa was able to quickly rebuild a new city area similar to Paradise City.

Zhou Chen was mainly in charge of major battles in this period of time. For example, he would counterattack when the surrounding envious forces attacked. He spent the rest of the time cultivating and constantly strengthening himself. Occasionally, he would go out to hunt monsters and try to obtain passive skills.

It was soon time to part. The Survival mission was ending and it was time for them to leave this world.

In the evening, in the core area of this new city called Paradise No. 2 City, a flying car was floating outside a building window. The door suddenly opened, and Zhou Chen jumped through the window.

He had just returned from cultivating outside and had rushed here to eat dinner.

Now that this city had established several farms, they did not lack meat, eggs, and milk. He could eat some good food without having to sunbath to fill his stomach.

After entering the spacious and bright dining hall, he realized that his other friends were also here. They were all gathered around a large long table which was covered with white cloth and were talking to each other.

“Is today some special day?”

Zhou Chen asked curiously as he walked to the group.

“Captain, are you really leaving tomorrow?”

The robot, Lucy, who was holding a large plate and serving steak to everyone, turned around and asked Zhou Chen.

“Eh… You all know?”

It was the day before the mission ended. Zhou Chen had originally planned to leave quietly, leaving only some letters to explain the situation. It seemed like Li Guofu had already revealed the secret.

“Xing, I’ve told them about our situation. We’ve been together for almost a year. It doesn’t feel good to suddenly leave without saying goodbye.”

Li Guofu, who was sitting in the middle of the long table, explained to Zhou Chen when he saw the latter’s surprise.

“Alright, this meal will be a farewell party.”

Zhou Chen smiled helplessly and pulled out a chair to sit.

Soon, Lucy finished serving food and stood to the side while everyone began to eat.

The farewell dinner’s atmosphere was surprisingly silent. The few of them were focused on eating and did not speak.

Soon, Teresa turned to look at Zhou Chen.

“If you leave this time, will you have a chance to return?”

Zhou Chen swallowed the steak in his mouth and replied, 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

“We might come back, but even if we do, we can’t say for sure when.”

“Oh… I didn’t expect you to have such a bizarre background. I hope we can meet again in the future.”

Teresa was a little reluctant to see Zhou Chen and Li Guofu leave. Like her, they were the founders of this city. One of them had extraordinary combat strength, and the other had all kinds of talents. They had both contributed greatly to the establishment of this city.

“Big brother, you have to come back. It’s okay even if you’re a little late. Heidi can afford to wait.”

Heidi, who was focused on eating the barbecue, raised her head and said to Zhou Chen with her oily mouth.

“Yes, yes. You have to listen to your sister. When you’re older, share some of her burden.”

Zhou Chen smiled at Heidi.

“Sigh, I don’t expect her to help me. I’ll thank the heavens if she doesn’t get too fat.”

Hilda, who was sitting beside Heidi, shook her head. She was wearing an army uniform, but she had raccoon?eyes1, making her look a little comical.

Her raccoon eyes were not from getting beat up, but because she was tired from work.

She was the senior manager of this city and was in charge of various matters under Teresa.

The reason why she could reach this position was not only because she knew Zhou Chen, but also because she had obtained Teresa’s recognition.

“By the way, Teresa, has that Todd’s organization been harassing you recently?”

Thinking that he was about to leave, Zhou Chen was a little worried about this city. That Todd who controlled lightning had established a mutant organization that was not on good terms with Teresa.

“No, he’s been busy dealing with internal strife. The mutant that he sent to replace the leader of Nete Tech has betrayed him and is leading the remnant forces of Nete Tech to fight with his organization.”

Teresa couldn’t help but smile.

“That’s good. Your superpower should be able to grow to the level of a pseudo Calamity Grade soon. At that time, they will be the one to suffer if they attack.”

In the past half a year, it was not Zhou Chen who had grown the quickest, but Teresa. Her talent was ridiculously high. After her previous home was destroyed and her father was killed, she seemed to have entered an awakened state. Her psychokinesis’s strength had increased exponentially, and she was no weaker than Zhou Chen. In time, she might even become the strongest mutant in this world.

“Don’t worry. With my current strength, unless several Calamity Grade monsters surround me, I will be able to protect this city and not let the tragedy repeat.”

Teresa was confident. She had become extremely powerful, and was now the anchor of this city.

“Don’t worry about the city. Even without us, there is still the super-powerful Teresa and the systematic armed forces. Not everyone can afford to provoke this city.”

Li Guofu interjected and turned to look at Hilda.

“Hilda, have you prepared the technological items that I want to take away?”

The panda-eyed Hilda frowned and thought for a moment before replying,

“Most of them are ready, but we only have a few of several items. We can’t give them to you for the time being.”

“Sure, it’s up to you. This city belongs to everyone. I have no reason to take too much.”

Li Guofu, whose mind was filled with thoughts of handing in the items, also had a lot of feelings for this city. He had done a lot of overall management work in the establishment of this city and was unwilling to let it suffer too much damage.

The last dinner party ended with such a relaxed conversation. The few of them chatted about various things. They were not as worried as before.

After the dinner, Zhou Chen, who had trouble sleeping, arrived at the top of the building alone to admire the stars in the night sky.

The stars densely covered the sky in this world, unlike Planet Blue.

Before long, a beautiful figure walked over from behind Zhou Chen. It was Lucy. She did not need to go to sleep and had come to visit her captain.

“Captain, you’re leaving tomorrow. Can’t you stay for another day?”

As an intelligent robot, Lucy had the same feelings as humans, and her voice was filled with reluctance.

“I would like to stay longer if possible, but I’m sorry, Lucy. It’s difficult to go against the power behind me. I have to leave tomorrow.”

Zhou Chen turned to look at Lucy and smiled.

“Oh…”

Lucy replied dejectedly.

“Lucy… if you want, I can bring you to my world.”

Zhou Chen said when he saw Lucy’s expression. He had the storage bag in his hand and could bring Lucy out of this world.

“I want to, Captain.”

Lucy replied immediately.

“But Captain, do you really need me? I’m so weak that I can’t help you at all.”

Lucy knew very well how strong Zhou Chen was. In the past half a year, he had defeated many powerful enemies and often won against many by himself. Together with Teresa, he was called the Twin Stars of Paradise and had made a name for himself in this world.

As for Lucy, she was just an ordinary intelligent robot. She could only do some support work for Zhou Chen.

“You’re not weak, Lucy. Your feelings are the most sincere among all the smart robots I’ve seen. You’ve done your job well too. You’re actually very outstanding.”

Zhou Chen really felt that Lucy was very outstanding. Although she was not strong, she would complete the tasks assigned to her very well.

“Thank you, Captain. Lucy is really happy to hear your praise.”

A bright smile immediately appeared on Lucy’s face, which looked no different from a human girl’s.

“If you need my help over there, take me with you. If not, please give Lucy time. Lucy will constantly strengthen herself here and gradually catch up to you, and wait for you to come again.”

“You’re quite ambitious.”

Zhou Chen’s lips curled into a smile.

“Actually, when I bring you to my world, there’s a high chance that I will just let you be in charge of managing a villa and doing very easy things. I wonder if this is what you want.”

Zhou Chen would not force an intelligent individual to leave. He would make things clear and let the other party make the choice.

“I only need to manage a villa? I don’t have to fight?” 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

Lucy was curious.

“No need. The world I’m in is very safe. There’s basically no need to fight.”

Zhou Chen shook his head.

He saaid this because he had learned from Li Guofu that the high bronze storage bag in his hand actually was one-time use only. Once he brought Lucy to Planet Blue, he could no longer use the storage bag to bring Lucy into the dungeon. That way, Lucy could only stay on Planet Blue to help him manage his villa.

“In that case, Captain, Lucy should stay here and wait for you to return. Lucy is a combat robot. Although she is very weak, I still hope to fight alongside you.”

Lucy’s voice was a little hesitant, but her eyes shone with determination as she looked at Zhou Chen.

“Alright, I believe in you. When I come again, I’ll bring you along to fight the monsters.”

Zhou Chen felt that this robot girl was very interesting. She was very different from the other old-fashioned and meticulous intelligent robots. She had her own aspirations and ideals.

However, at this moment, Lucy suddenly did something unexpected. She suddenly stepped forward and hugged Zhou Chen.

“Captain, in that world, please remember that Lucy is waiting for you here. Lucy will assist Ms. Teresa and Miss Hilda and protect this city that you have established.”

After saying this, Lucy quickly released Zhou Chen’s arms and jumped off the building. She used the latest flight module to spray flames and flew away.

“I’ll remember.”

Zhou Chen looked at Lucy’s back and said softly.

The night passed quickly. In the morning, the few of them gathered again. Zhou Chen and Li Guofu disappeared in front of Teresa, Lucy, and the others. They completed the Survival mission and returned to Planet Blue.

[You have completed the Survival mission. Reward: 1 Agility Scroll (High Bronze), 1 Electromagnetic Pistol (High Bronze), 1 Perpetual Hovering Motorcycle (High Silver)]

When he returned to the living room of his villa, Zhou Chen heard the system’s announcement.

“There is actually a high silver reward. The reward quality should have increased from completing the side mission. But why is it only one, and not three high silver rewards?”

Zhou Chen was puzzled. He guessed that it might be because he had not created the Paradise No. 2 City by himself.

Then, he looked curiously at the details of the perpetual hovering motorcycle.

[Perpetual Hovering Motorcycle

Type: High silver vehicle

This hovering motorcycle uses a miniature perpetual motion machine as its engine, making its battery power nearly infinite.

In addition, it has the following characteristics:

High speed movement: The maximum speed of this hovering motorcycle is Mach 10.

Ion shield: This hovering motorcycle is protected by ion shield which can block a lot of external damage.

Self restoration: As long as the miniature perpetual motion machine inside is not destroyed, this hovering motorcycle can gradually repair itself to a perfect state after being damaged.]

“Quite good. With this motorcycle, my mobility has increased greatly. Mach 10 should be faster than most missiles, right?”

“Time to look at my character interface. I remember that my evaluation has reached the silver rank.”

Zhou Chen opened his character interface.
