New pet is invincible? Trash?

Ye Chen felt a bit suspicious for a moment, wondering if his hand had slipped, so he clicked "Draw" again.

"Let's check the stats."

Ye Chen opened the pet panel.

【Iron-Eating Beast: Gun Gun】

Rank: LV1

Grade: 9th Grade Creation Rank

Attribute: Mixed (contains multiple attributes)

Skill: Rock-Solid

Divine Artifact: None

Talent: Fatal Blow (When attacking an enemy, there is a 1/1000 chance to instantly kill the enemy)

Combat Power: 1

HP: ∞

EXP: 0/1000

Note: The Iron-Eating Beast has infinite HP; upgrading will not increase HP, nor will it increase attack power. The skill Rock-Solid puts the Iron-Eating Beast into a defensive state, reflecting 10% of damage, with a cooldown of 600S.

Looking at the attribute panel of the Iron-Eating Beast—no, it should be Gun Gun—Ye Chen was speechless for a moment. Creation Rank is indeed Creation Rank; even the attributes are this Heaven-Defying.

If you say it's not strong, it has infinite HP and is completely unkillable.

If you say it is strong, it only has 1 attack power and can't kill anyone at all.

Moreover, leveling up won't provide any bonuses. The only Heaven-Defying thing is that talent, but what's the use of a 1/1000 chance to instant-kill?

Looking at the cute Gun Gun, Ye Chen felt helpless. It seems this Creation Rank pet can only be used as a meat tank in the future.

Fortunately, since leveling up is useless, there's no need to think about it.

At least it's a Creation Rank pet; bringing it out is still quite intimidating.

"Ouch!" Ye Chen felt a pain in his thigh. He looked down and saw Gun Gun hugging his thigh and starting to gnaw on it.

Ye Chen quickly stepped back and picked Gun Gun up.

Gun Gun was held in the air by Ye Chen, its little hands and feet flailing non-stop.

Seeing Ye Chen's somewhat angry expression, Gun Gun smiled brightly, pointed at its mouth, and made "aba aba" sounds.

Is it hungry?

Ye Chen looked at Gun Gun curiously and tentatively took out a roast chicken and placed it in front of Gun Gun.

"Wow!" Gun Gun didn't hesitate at all, grabbed the roast chicken, and started gnawing.

Watching Gun Gun eat with such gusto, Ye Chen was a bit puzzled. Shouldn't pandas gnaw on bamboo? Why is it eating roast chicken too?

Before long, Gun Gun finished the whole roast chicken, let out a satisfied burp, and patted its belly.

Ye Chen felt helpless, summoned Gun Gun into the pet nest, and went to sleep himself.

The next morning.

Eight o'clock.

Ye Chen had already arrived in the residential area. Many people were already awake and busy within the community.

Seeing Ye Chen, everyone would greet him happily and say hello.

Zhang Haonan had already taken people out to search for supplies early in the morning, leaving some women behind to decorate the residential area.

Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles; compared to their labor in the past, the current labor made them feel more free and willing.

Fire Feather and the others came to Ye Chen's side and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Ye Chen, good morning."

Ye Chen smiled back and said good morning.

There was nothing to do today, and just as Ye Chen was about to look around, Zhu Qiang ran over in a hurry: "Brother Chen, there are a lot of Pet Masters gathered outside, at least two thousand of them. They are shouting that they want to find you. You should go take a look."

"Hmm? More than two thousand Pet Masters?" Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

Fire Feather frowned and said: "Could it be the remnants of the Azure Alliance?"

Ye Chen said: "Let's go out and take a look."

Ye Chen led everyone to the entrance of the residential area.

A massive crowd was standing at the entrance, at least two thousand people.

Their levels were uneven, with the highest reaching LV14 and the lowest only LV6.

Looking at the crowd, Ye Chen said: "I am Ye Chen, the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance. Why have you gathered here?"

Ye Chen's tone was extremely calm, without a ripple.

Several of the highest-level Pet Masters stepped forward, suddenly knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Alliance Leader Ye, we are a loose team of Pet Masters from Qing County. We were extremely impressed to learn that Alliance Leader Ye had dismantled the Azure Alliance. Therefore, we have come here wanting to join the Star Alliance. We hope the Alliance Leader will agree!"

Hmm?

Fire Feather and the others looked at each other, a bit confused, but a moment later, they suddenly burst into laughter.

A smile also lifted the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. Last night, they were still discussing how to get more Pet Masters to join the Star Alliance; they didn't expect so many people to come knocking on the door this morning.

The fact that so many people came at once could mean one thing: there must be some connection between them.

Seeing that Ye Chen and the others didn't speak, the few who were kneeling on one knee shouted again: "We hope the Alliance Leader will agree!"

With a boom, the people behind them also knelt on one knee in unison and shouted together: "We hope the Alliance Leader will agree!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said: "Good, from now on, you are all members of my Star Alliance!"

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they shouted loudly: "Thank you, Alliance Leader Ye!"

Ye Chen said to Lin Nuoyi and Fire Feather: "I'll trouble you two to arrange for these people first."

"Hmm, okay!"

As for the subsequent matters, Ye Chen didn't need to ask much and returned to the residential area.

With the arrangements of Lin Nuoyi, Golden Eyes, and the others, there were no problems.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Zhang Haonan returned with his people.

All the buses were packed with supplies.

Food, drinks, clothing, and daily necessities—everything was there.

Zhang Haonan laughed: "If the buses weren't full, we could have brought back even more things. It's still early, let's unload these first and then go out again."

Ye Chen patted Zhang Haonan on the shoulder and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing, what's hard about this? Time waits for no one," Zhang Haonan said with a laugh while touching his head.

Everyone had a premonition that monsters above LV20 would soon descend.

After Zhang Haonan and the others left, Fire Feather suddenly said: "By the way, ask in the War Alliance group chat if there are any hell secret realm key fragments. The Hell Secret Realm in Qing County has refreshed. If there are any, we can go take a look."

"Hmm?" Ye Chen frowned slightly and said: "Hell Secret Realm, refreshed?"

"Yeah, the Hell Secret Realm refreshes every once in a while," Fire Feather looked at Ye Chen with confusion as well.

Fire Feather was also puzzled in his heart; surely Ye Chen didn't even know this?

Ye Chen really didn't know.

Ye Chen felt a bit ashamed and said: "I really wasn't aware of this."

After speaking, Ye Chen took out something and handed it to Fire Feather.

Fire Feather looked closely: "Ah, this, is this a hell Secret Realm key?"

Ye Chen nodded.

"Holy crap, Brother Ye Chen, you're a tycoon!" Fire Feather said in surprise.

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Take it. Ask in the War Alliance group chat later. You guys take Zhu Qiang and the others and go in together. I won't go this time."

A small Hell Secret Realm didn't have much meaning for Ye Chen; it was better to give this spot to others.

After all, one person being strong isn't enough; only when everyone is strong is it true strength.

Fire Feather nodded, didn't stand on ceremony, accepted the key, and posted the message in the War Alliance group chat.
