The sun has set, and moonlight is the only source of light to reach the world on a starless night.

Summer is approaching and it should be particularly hot at this time, but the reality is quite different.

As the mana on Earth intervenes, the whole world and the laws and rules that govern it are changing little by little. Not only will humans and other creatures living on the blue asteroid in the Milky Way galaxy have to adapt, but the world they live in must also adapt and evolve.

Although it was not as bad as when the weather was unpredictable some time ago, even with the control of the soul record, even if it was hot the day before, it would be difficult to prevent a sudden storm.

In the center of the main square of the starting village, there is a group of ordinary citizens who don't want to work, or are not good at anything at all.

In one corner, a large stall can be seen, where a small number of people are washing rice, then dipping the rice into a large pot with water, and then starting to prepare the food, without much enthusiasm on their faces.

"Line up!" A man armed with a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle roared. His eyes were full of disdain, and he looked at the person in front of him, as if he was looking at a drone instead of a human.

Ordinary citizens, the lowest rank among the survivors, obediently lined up under the watchful eyes of a dozen armed men. None of them dared to complain in the slightest, nor did they dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces.

These people knew that they had no one in the camp to look favor. How can it be favored? After all, while everyone is doing their part to make other people's lives better, they do nothing but eat and sleep. They knew that if they were not careful, they would be driven out of the village.

Even if someone bullies them, the leader turns a blind eye as long as they are not seriously injured, raped, or killed. As a result, these survivors behaved like lambs while waiting for their overnight rations. Although it was past midnight, they were probably the last to eat, as they waited until the soldiers and others were free.

This is the consequence of parasites.

Luo Cheng has been doing well lately. His younger sister Luo Ning, under the care of this group of core evolutionaries, has been constantly improving, and he has slowly risen from the level of power and become the leader of this small group of people. Although he knows that he can't be a core member of the manager's team, as long as he can get to the dinner table, it will be enough for him.

"Luo Cheng, I'll leave the rest to you."

Just when Luo Cheng sighed in his heart, thanking Bai Ze for making everyone's life better, a melodious but cold voice sounded not far away, pulling him back from his thoughts.

"Oh, okay! I'll take care of the rest. You're glad you suffered! Luo Cheng saw Shangguan Bingxue so closely, and couldn't help but take a few more looks. He was three or four years older than her, but every time he saw her, he was amazed by her beauty.

Shangguan Bingxue glanced at him, bowed slightly, and then looked at the main villa that was shining like the sun in the middle of the night. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the villa.

Watching her slender back disappear into the distance, admiring the bright hair flying in the wind, Luo Cheng couldn't help but beat faster. He shook his head with a wry smile.

"She and I are two people from different worlds...... It's better to think more about the things in front of you, and don't dream. He muttered, then put on a serious look and began to give orders.

……

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! ...

In a large, well-lit room, the sound of metal clanging was constant, and in addition to the breathing of the only two people here, the only thing that could be heard was the crackling fire.

The crimson flames danced gently in the furnace, still struggling to devour the soul power and furious mana contained in the five soul stones. But even after a few hours, it was unsuccessful.

"Hand me the other piece!" Bai Ze said loudly while wiping the sweat from his forehead. In the room, the heat continuously released by the crimson demon flame of the rare-level treasure was really not to be underestimated.

"Well done." Linglong handed over the red scales that burned in the heat, but she was as easy as holding an ordinary stone.

"This should be the last piece. There are also some details that need to be retouched and it will be successful. Bai Ze took the pliers and carefully grabbed the red-hot scales. Then start hammering with all your might.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Gradually, the scale changes shape, and due to the heat burned, it begins to melt into other scales; The scales fused together to form a giant red sword.

If it was before, Bai Ze's strength might not be enough to shape these first-order scales. But the more than sixty attribute points that he had accumulated, plus the strength increase he had obtained after absorbing the soul power of the second-order giant bear, he could barely cope with it now.

When Bai Ze was immersed in forging, the closed door to the outside opened slightly, and a small head with silver hair poked out from the corner at the same time, and two beautiful blue eyes were large enough to see the situation inside.

Linglong looked at the door and saw Shangguan Bingxue waving his hand, signaling that he could come in.

Shangguan Bingxue nodded, walked in, and carefully closed the door behind him, so as not to disturb Bai Ze's work. As she approached, the closer she got to the stove, the more surprised she became, and the deeper her brow furrowed.

She really hates fire and heat. Growing up, her favorite season of the year has always been winter. Seeing Linglong sweating profusely and her clothes sticking to her graceful body, Shangguan Bingxue sighed secretly.

This woman endured the heat for so many hours, just to keep him company. She thought as she consumed a little mana to cool the air around her; She was especially careful not to let Bai Ze's place get cold, because the hotter the place where he worked, the better.

Linglong looked at Shangguan Bingxue with strange eyes, smiled sweetly, thanked softly, and nodded simply.

Linglong sweated so much is pretended. If she was still doing nothing when Bai Ze was sweating profusely, it would be abnormal, so she did it in order to deceive Shangguan Bingxue. What she didn't expect was that the ice princess, who had always been indifferent, would be kind to strangers.

With the sound of metal clashing, the two women silently watched the man work.

Bai Ze was so focused on his work that he didn't even notice the others in the room. It was the first time he had worked in a forging for such a long time, and the material was by far the most precious. His first weapon was almost finished. Therefore, he focused 200% of his energy on the hammer in his hand and the monster materials he evolved.

After twenty minutes of scaling, Bai Ze asked for materials without looking back.

Sometimes it was Linglong who handed it to him, sometimes it was Shangguan Bingxue, because she was close. But Bai Ze didn't know that he was just constantly refining that giant sword.

After another two hours or so, Bai Ze's movements completely stopped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his forearm again and sighed. The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, looking at the weapon he forged, he nodded unconsciously, and seemed to be satisfied.

Bai Ze didn't know that there was one more person in the room, so he put down the hammer and touched the hilt of the sword.
