Chapter 12: Bronze One Star

Even though a few of them were running for their lives, they were no match for this alien beast.

Suddenly, the beast behind them opened its mouth wide and shot out a fireball about the size of a basketball, heading straight for Ye Nan and the others.

"Lie down... Damn, you can't be serious."

Since that strange beast had never used this move before, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. However, the final result was that a huge wave of energy surged in, knocking everyone over.

"Going to beg, looks like my dog's head is going to be stuck here today."

Faced with this blow, almost everyone was seriously injured, and there was no possibility of escape.

And just as the strange beasts were closing in on them step by step, Ye Nan also steeled himself, ready to fire again at any moment.

Perhaps even if Ye Nan exhausts all the system's energy, he still won't be able to deal with this strange beast, but he can only go all out.

"The time is up, hurry up and leave!"

Just when everyone looked utterly hopeless, a commanding voice echoed from the sky, and then a black figure descended from above, crashing directly onto the strange beast.

With a loud bang, the once fiercely arrogant beast was now lying on the ground, its ferocious head being stepped on by a man.

And this Black man is none other than the most powerful mine manager here.

"Learn some manners from now on, and get lost!"

What is surprising is that the mine chief did not kill the strange beast, but instead let it go so easily, leaving one wondering about the reason behind it.

As for that strange beast, although it was unwilling, it also knew the strength of the man before it. After just glancing at Ye Nan and the others, it quickly left.

"Hmph!"

Originally, everyone thought the mine manager was there to rescue them, but now it seems they were indeed overthinking it.

A slave is a slave, with no human rights or freedom. Even if they all die, they still won't receive a bit of sympathy from others.

They only heard the mine chief give a cold snort at Ye Nan and the others, and then he flew into the air, disappearing from sight.

I have to say, everything that happened today left Ye Nan very amazed, especially when he saw that this mine chief could actually fly. Suddenly, he felt a surge of passion welling up in his heart.

However, envy aside, Ye Nan also clearly understood that the other party's strength was definitely above that of the Silver rank; otherwise, it would be impossible to easily subdue the alien beast. This was still quite distant for him.

"Xiong Da, does this strange beast come every time?"

Because Ye Nan always felt that today's situation wasn't so simple, it might even be an opportunity to escape from here.

"Brother Ye, it seems that these strange beasts only come out when newcomers arrive at the mine. Last time when we first came, we were still far from the place, so we didn't encounter them."

After hearing Xiong Da's words, Ye Nan immediately understood. This incident was probably premeditated; otherwise, the mine manager wouldn't have waited until everyone was almost dead to come out.

Additionally, just now Ye Nan heard the mine manager say something about time being up. At first, he didn't think much of it, but now that he thinks about it, it really is quite profound.

"What do you think?"

Seeing that Ye Nan had been silent, Hua Xin beside her couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you think it's a great opportunity for us?"

Turning around, Ye Nan looked at Hua Xin, who was within arm's reach, and said with a smile on his face.

And Gou Tou and Wu Song seemed to have guessed something from what Ye Nan said, and they couldn't help but get excited.

"Alright, let's head back to base first. During this time, everyone needs to make the most of it to recover."

When everyone arrived at the entrance of the mine area again, they found that the originally collapsed gate had already been restored to its original state, and the team leader and the car that had brought them there also appeared before them.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of people around had already decreased by more than half, everyone would probably still think that what just happened was a dream, right?

However, what surprised Ye Nan was that since they had already absorbed all the ore, there was nothing left.

But in the face of this situation, the Black team leader still handed out a bottle of nutritional potion to each person, not knowing whether it was to help them recover from their injuries or to celebrate their survival.

But Ye Nan didn't care what the other party intended to do; he directly swallowed the nutrient potion and converted it into energy.

"Current host energy 220/100, may I ask if it should evolve?"

"Temporarily not evolving."

Although the energy has been reached now, they are still in the car, so Ye Nan has to be cautious.

As long as the car was fast enough, it didn't take long for everyone to reach the base again.

As soon as Ye Nan entered the room, he couldn't wait to lie down on the bed and then called up the system.

Although Wusong was puzzled by Ye Nan's urgent actions, he didn't say anything, perhaps because he was too tired today?

"System, I want to evolve!"

"Energy required for evolution met, evolving..."Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

A mysterious voice suddenly appeared in his mind, and Ye Nan felt a warm current flowing through his entire body.

It seemed to be nourishing his body, transforming his genes, making them more perfect and powerful.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

Not knowing how much time had passed, just as Ye Nan was about to fall asleep, the system's voice finally sounded.

"Evolution complete, current host level: Bronze Warrior One Star [A beginner on the path of evolution, your journey has just begun]"

Skill: Silver-level Energy Ball [Learn?]

"Equipment: Silver-grade laser gun, bronze-grade protective suit."

Energy: 120/500

After Ye Nan reviewed his current attributes, he could only feel a deep sense of despair, it could be said to be a sight too painful to bear.

Especially leaving Ye Nan speechless was the fact that it required 500 energy to level up again. What a total scam!

"System, I want to learn the Spirit Bomb."

"100 energy points deducted, Silver-level skill Spirit Bomb has been transmitted."

"Current energy 20/500"

"Damn, this is way too shady, they're even deducting energy for this."

Looking at the dwindling energy, Ye Nan finally understood what it meant to be liberated before the dawn.

However, this energy indeed hasn't been wasted. At this moment, Ye Nan has a feeling that as long as he concentrates, he can condense a fist-sized energy ball at any time. As for its power, he can only test it later.

"Ding, congratulations, host! You've received an Evolution Gift Pack. Would you like to open it?"

"What else do you want, this kind of nonsense? Is this what they call carrot and stick?"

Originally, Ye Nan was thinking about getting some rest, but who would have thought such a big surprise would come along?

However, this tactic is definitely about hitting you hard and then giving you a sweet deal. I can only say that this system is so damn cunning.

System: No recommendation tickets, energy completely drained!
