Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 198

To hisnvenience, he met a very trusting man. The man also fall for his pitiful act, and the fool let him in, even helping him infiltrate the base management. With that gathering Intel on the base management and security was easy.

"My name is Lao Gong. You can call me Uncle Lao. As long as you're not lazy, you can find something to eat."

Mingsi lowered his gaze, his expression perfectly calculated—meek, grateful, and humble.

A few days later, Uncle Lao approached him again.

"The base leader needs more men for patrol. I signed you up. You can follow me from now on."

What a fool.

Although Mingsi now had a stable energy supply, he was not satisfied. He didn't want just food, shelter, or safety—he wanted power. True power.

Fortunately, the heavens seemed to favor him. A fortuitous event occurred. One by one, people started awakening strange abilities. The old rules of the world no longer applied. The strong thrived, and the weak were discarded like trash.

However, to his frustration, he was not chosen!

Mingsi seethed with resentment. Why were others blessed while he remained ordinary? He refused to accept it. He had suffered enough! Why should he remain beneath them?

Then, the voice spoke again. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

It whispered secrets to him, promising a path to power.

It said he only needed to devour the energy of the awakeners.

That night, Mingsi made his choice. He killed his first target, feeling the life force seep into his bones. The sensation was intoxicating. His body transformed. His veins burned with newfound strength. When the process ended, he gazed at his hands—his fingers had sharpened into bone claws.

A grin stretched across his face.

Bone Manipulation and Bone Regeneration.

It didn't take him long to get used to the power. It felt natural, as if it had always been a part of him, merely waiting to be awakened.

But just like everything in his miserable life, even this power needed to be maintained.

If he wanted to keep his strength, he needed more energy. More victims.

However, the base was not full of fools. Disappearancesuld only go unnoticed for so long. As the number of missing people grew, the base leader finally took action. Investigations began, and restrictions tightened.

Mingsi knew heuld not stay passive. He needed to act before they divered the truth.

Mingsi made his move. He overthrew the existing order and seized power for himself, forming a gang of outcasts and opportunists. People who were easily swayed by promises of power and material wealth flocked to his side.

The voice was also very helpful. It provided him with knowledge, teaching him how to create a Power Boost Serum.

[Power Boost Serum (Implete)]

Although implete, the serum was a miracle drug, allowing his subordinates to temporarily strengthen their abilities. Through it, hisntrol over the gang solidified. With endless resources and a steady supply of energy, Mingsi stood at the top.

But his ambitions did not end there.

He wanted to perfect the serum.

He wanted revenge.

However, he was not blind to reality. He and his men were strong, but they were not strong enough to challenge the well-equipped military base. He needed more power.

Weeks of experiments yielded nothing. The materials required were simply too scarce. Just as he was beginning to grow impatient, the voice spoke again.

[Player, an event is triggered. You have a mission.]

[Obtain the egg…]

[Kill the Ant Queen and devour its energy.]

[With the egg and Ant Queen, you will be able to create a Power Boost Serum with permanent effects.]

Mingsi was ecstatic. The pieces were finally falling into place. He immediately set his plans in motion.

But fate was cruel.

An accident occurred in the laboratory. Mingsi was forced to retreat, leaving the mission to his subordinates.

He had been too naive.

He thought theyuld handle it.

But those fucking dimwits failed!

Mingsi wanted to tear Big Fang apart, but he swallowed his fury, giving the man a snd chance.

Then, by a stroke of luck, the entrance to the ant tunnels appeared.

This was it.

Gathering his men, Mingsi personally led the expedition, determined to find the Ant Queen's nest.

In the process, he never expected to eunter the very people he wanted to destroy.

But all his plans to be thwarted by Nanzhi!

—

"Besides being a player, the missions, and the rewards… What else did the voice tell you?!" Nanzhi's grip tightened on his jaw while processing the information Mingsi said.

Mingsi winced. The searing pain shot through his skull, but before heuld speak, a black wisp emerged from his obsidian necklace.

Nanzhi's instincts screamed at her. She released him, leaping back just in time.
