"The sun?"

Shen Mengling looked up and found that the sun, which should have been perfectly normal, was now frozen in the sky like a super-realistic oil painting. The clouds had also completely stopped moving. She had never seen anything this bizarre before. "What did you do?"

"Didn't do much, just that your time pause seems to have been automatically countered and swallowed by mine, probably."

Zhang Yanhang had sensed that the invisible energy probably only covered a few nearby streets. He estimated that this was the range limit of the time pause ability user in front of him. But his own time pause had no such limits; once paused, everything was paused. It's like an upgraded and complete version of the other's time pause.

"You can pause time too?! Who exactly are you?"

By sensing the environment around her, Shen Mengling realized that this time, the range of time pause seemed much larger than she had imagined.

"I should be asking who you are. Pulling down a stranger's pants as soon as we meet, isn't that a bit rude?"

Zhang Yanhang felt that if the other party had discussed things properly with him, he might have considered it since he wasn't busy anyway and could find some fun to pass the time.

"Who am I? I am Da Meng 1!"

Although she couldn't figure out what exactly was going on, Shen Mengling still proudly thrust her hips.

As Zhang Yanhang watched her thrusting hips, wavering ever so gently, he seriously doubted what she was thinking, speaking such words. "You call that Da Meng 1? I think you're clearly Big Mother 0."

"You don't believe me?! Then take another look!"

Even as Shen Mengling loosened her belt, a subtle shape emerged on her still very tight super short shorts.

Zhang Yanhang watched wide-eyed as Shen Mengling grew something suspiciously like a bull horn, but strangely, he even felt a bit more excited. "I knew it, such a cute appearance must belong to a boy. But if it's only to this degree, I might just call you Big Mother 1."

Upon hearing Zhang Yanhang's words, Shen Mengling couldn't help but brighten up, "Hmm? Are you also a second-dimensional being?"

"No, I'm not a second dimensional. People who claim that usually aren't quite normal..."

Zhang Yanhang quickly denied it to avoid being labeled as a second-dimensional enthusiast.

"Hmph, only second-dimensional people would claim they aren't! You're definitely a second-dimensional!"

Shen Mengling was almost certain that, despite the man in front being about two and a half meters tall and all muscle, with no peculiar qualities of a second-dimensional being, he was definitely a second-dimensional enthusiast, and an experienced one at that.

"Since you're also a second-dimensional, I'll reluctantly introduce myself. I'm Fourth Tier Awakener Shen Mengling, and my awakening talent is 'Asynchronous Synchronization.'

Shen Mengling believed that anyone who liked second-dimensional content couldn't be a bad person.

"Asynchronous Synchronization? Isn't it time pause?"

Zhang Yanhang was quite surprised at this outcome.

"Time pause is just one of the things Asynchronous Synchronization can do."

As she spoke of her own ability, Shen Mengling proudly lifted her head.

"I see."

Asynchronous Synchronization is not something easily known unless you're someone like Zhang Yanhang, who studied computer science. Simply put, it's the opposite of synchronization, which can control inversion in programs.

Zhang Yanhang figured Shen Mengling must have used this characteristic to invert time, bringing it from a flow into a pause. But clearly, there's an Energy Value consumption for her time pause, which is why she could only control a few streets. Unlike Zhang Yanhang, whose pausing isn't limited by any costs, allowing for an infinitely vast range.

At the same time, Zhang Yanhang guessed that the reason she could grow a bull horn was probably also due to Asynchronous Synchronization's inversion ability.

"And who are you, to have such a powerful time pause ability?"

Since awakening her power, Shen Mengling had never encountered any other time pause ability and couldn't help but be curious.

"Who am I?"

Zhang Yanhang pointed to the 'CTPD (Raccoon City Police Department)' label on the standard Raccoon City police uniform on his chest.

"BD? Are you Brother Oat?" Shen Mengling couldn't quite grasp what Zhang Yanhang meant for a moment.

"You're the one selling CDs! Look again!" Zhang Yanhang pointed to 'CTPD' again.

Shen Mengling thought for a moment and suddenly had a look of realization, "Oh! I understand now! CPDD, right? Us second-dimensional people don't engage in that."

"Forget it, let's not talk about nonsense. I'm Lucky Fourth Tier Awakener Zhang Yanhang, and my ability is 'Heavenly Destiny Master.'"

Once again, Zhang Yanhang introduced himself as a Lucky Awakened, quite skillfully.

"Why would a Lucky Awakened have time pause abilities? Especially one so powerful?"

Shen Mengling couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought.

"It's just luck, so I got the related abilities. Isn't that normal? By the way, are you not going to introduce your ability in detail?"

Even though Shen Mengling's ability wasn't time pause, Zhang Yanhang was still quite interested.

"I feel this isn't normal at all! And why should I introduce my abilities? Are we that familiar?"

Although Shen Mengling had heard many legendary stories about Luck System Awakeners in the past, she mostly thought they were fake. Even now, she didn't really believe it. But if it wasn't due to luck, she couldn't think of a reason why a Lucky Awakened would have such a powerful time pause ability.

Moreover, whether or not the other person is truly a Lucky Awakened, their time pause ability was definitely real, so Shen Mengling temporarily chose to believe him.

"Right."

Zhang Yanhang also felt that introducing his abilities at the first meeting might indeed be unusual. When he talked about abilities with the group leader, Zhou Muxi, and Zhao Yalan, it was only after spending some time together.

"So, what's the reason for pulling down my pants?"

Zhang Yanhang was very curious about whether it was the distortion of human nature or the degradation of morals that made Shen Mengling, a young Awakener, pull down another Awakener's pants.

Shen Mengling's expression suddenly became deep, "If marrying someone could give you a house that would take thirty years of starving and saving to afford, a car that would take five years of starving and saving, and a substantial amount of cash that would take another five years of starving and saving, equivalent to saving forty years of effort, how many men would be tempted?

Surely, not many people would be unaffected.

However, what seems like a pie falling from the sky to men is just the most basic condition that women take for granted. Besides, they often need a lot of additional conditions before they would truly marry."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yanhang felt a bit lost about what Shen Mengling was trying to express.

Shen Mengling ignored Zhang Yanhang and continued, "But even so, the Little Fairies are still not satisfied. They are eager to promote gender equality, not content with same pay for different work, but hope to leap directly to no work but same pay.

In reality, when Little Fairies choose a marriage partner, it's like implementing a new era of slavery. After marriage, with no kids, no job, no work, everything must be supported by the 'slave.' Furthermore, this support relationship not only does not require money to buy slaves but instead pays others to willingly become slaves, and even during this period, they will find multiple slaves to become big slave owners.

This extreme idyllic feminism is undoubtedly completely incorrect."

"Are you saying that, as a woman, you're against feminism?" Zhang Yanhang still hadn't quite caught on.

"Can't women oppose feminism?" Shen Mengling pursued true gender equality, equality in everything, and naturally opposed extreme idyllic feminism.

"Of course, but what's that got to do with you pulling down my pants?" Zhang Yanhang also held a positive attitude toward opposing feminism.

"I hope to use this method of castigating other men to remind them to oppose feminism." Shen Mengling's face showed a righteous expression.

But Zhang Yanhang felt it looked odd no matter how he viewed it, "Is this cane of yours really a serious one?"

Zhang Yanhang estimated that Shen Mengling's time pause should be unable to fully destroy objects like his time pause but should be able to interfere and affect a certain object to a limited extent.

So, Zhang Yanhang strongly suspected that the other party's castigation was a time pause whip from the series and felt that this type of whipping would only leave a huge psychological shadow on the involved male parties and wouldn't serve as much of a reminder at all.

"Forget it, let's end this."

When Zhang Yanhang thought of someone suddenly falling to the ground without warning and blushing under her whipping, he felt a bit awkward and didn't really want to continue talking to this guy. So before Shen Mengling could respond, he triggered the autonomous selection.

Sure enough, when Zhang Yanhang began triggering the autonomous selection, that familiar time pause once again fully covered the original time pause, and Shen Mengling, who had been able to move normally, along with everything else around her, once again fell into the time pause state.

"It seems my time pause is indeed superior."

Zhang Yanhang felt that he shouldn't have to worry about encountering enemies with time pause abilities targeting him in the future, because as earlier indicated, he could be immune to time pauses, and others' time pauses on him would only be reversed and covered by his.

The only unfortunate thing is that his time pause cannot be used for offense and cannot cause destruction to the enemy. If his time pause could evolve, he would have already been invincible by now.

After Zhang Yanhang made his choice, both his and Shen Mengling's time pauses instantly disappeared, and he was immediately teleported back home, thinking perhaps the probability of triggering adventures might be higher at home.

...

October 30, Friday, the fifth day after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, 5:40 in the afternoon, Main World, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Unit 505, bedroom.

Perhaps because staying at home really makes it easier to trigger adventures, Zhang Yanhang had just triggered a new adventure once again.

However, compared to his previous adventure, he wasn't very interested in the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in this one. So he casually chose a Heart Nourishing Stone that, according to rumor, could enhance the nurturing degree of zombie-type monsters when buried in the ground.

The other two options were about the same, and he couldn't use them at all, so he just chose this one option, not wanting to waste his energy value limit for something so insignificant, even if it was just a little bit, it would still be a waste.

After putting the Heart Nourishing Stone he had just picked up from the bottom of a big canyon into his waist bag, Zhang Yanhang suddenly felt that he once again had nothing much to do.

"Now, it's been over four hours since 1 PM earlier today, and in those more than four hours, my physical size has passively grown by 45 centimeters, from the original 215 centimeters to 260 centimeters.

Didn't expect to increase my height to 2.6 meters so quickly, it's already taller than the height of the T-001 Prototype Tyrant."

If he continues to grow at this rate, Zhang Yanhang estimated that by 10 PM tonight, he might reach 3 meters in height, becoming taller than the 3-meter Tracker.

As he talked, Zhang Yanhang opened the Skill Effect of Fatian Xiangdi for a look.

[Fatian Xiangdi LV.MAX (Active Skill)]

[Active Effect: After skill activation, Heavenly Destiny Master can freely change (enlarge) his body, with the maximum transformation limit of 2000%+1500%=3500%[currently at 91 meters(+16 meters)], Power Effect +500%. No cooldown, consumes a small amount of Physical Strength.]

[Additional Attributes: Maximum transformation limit +1500%.]

"Originally, my maximum transformation limit was only 75 meters, now it has grown by 16 meters, becoming 91 meters. Clearly, without doing anything, just lying at home attempting to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and yet the maximum transformation limit has grown so much, the Swallowing Heaven and Earth Skill is indeed incredibly strong."

When Zhang Yanhang's basic size breaks through 3 meters, his maximum transformation limit will also correspondingly break through 100 meters, becoming a genuine 100-meter giant.

"Now that my height has increased to 2.6 meters, I've started to feel a bit uncomfortable lying on the bed, or rather, having my calves dangling off the bed is quite awkward."

So Zhang Yanhang decided not to wait until he reached a height of 3 meters, but to start using the Transformation Technique right away.

A white light descended, and the instant-cast Transformation Technique made Zhang Yanhang's body gradually shrink, quickly reducing to a normal 2-meter height. Well, 2 meters isn't exactly normal, he was originally 1.9 meters tall, but he at least now feels that 2 meters is relatively normal.

"Awesome, though it's my first time using the Transformation Technique, since it's a spell in the Spell List, it can be instantly cast and the entire principle of the spell can be fully understood even on the first use."

Zhang Yanhang really appreciated this feature of the Spell List.
