As Wang Xinxia felt surprised, the Star Alliance members who ventured out started to return one by one.
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood, putting arms around shoulders, chatting and laughing.
From initial strangers to now being familiar, they have established true friendships with each other.
"Hello, Alliance Leader!"
"Hello, Alliance Leader!"
Individuals passing by greeted Ye Chen.
Some people, like Ye Chen and his group, also brought back some ordinary people who had been hiding.
The group arrived at the front of Building Two, got room keys from the caretaker downstairs, and said to Wang Xinxia, "Go up, and come down for dinner at six-thirty."
Wang Xinxia nodded, sincerely saying, "Thank you, Sister Nuoyi, thank you, Sister Yu Nian, and everyone, thank you."
After watching Wang Xinxia and the others go up with their luggage, Ye Chen and the group finally turned and left.
Inside the safe zone, many people were busy.
Pet Tamers who went out were like scavengers, picking up anything they came across to bring back.
"Haha, brother, I really have to thank you today. If it weren't for you, I would have lost this leg!"
"No need to thank me, we are brothers, we are all family, no distinction between you and me!"
The group laughed and chatted as they walked past Ye Chen.
Most members had just teamed up today, and bonds were gradually forming.
Some people weren't in the best mood, encountering powerful monsters where companions didn't make it back.
The ordinary people in the safe zone were not idle either, tidying up the vast safe zone.
They slowly repaired several damaged buildings, saying that more and more people would join this big family in the future.
There always had to be a place to live, which was their philosophy, as they would all be one family in the future.
Having endured pain, they cherished the hard-won peace even more.
Ye Chen and others sat under a gazebo nearby, while Huo Yu and the rest had also gradually returned alive.
With the effect of the Battle Alliance Tokens, everyone gained a lot of Experience Value today.
Huo Yu, sitting nearby, said, "Today, I led a group of brothers against a bunch of low-level monsters; it was such a struggle."
"Haha, Brother Ye Chen, today I single-handedly took down an LV22 monster, it was so thrilling!"
In this chaotic world, nobody seemed overly worried, for amidst chaos, there was also a kind of life, a sort of joy.
No need to worry too much, just get stronger and survive.
Ye Chen asked, "Is the pet summoning ceremony prepared for tonight?"
West Tiger, guarding in the safe zone, said, "Those young rascals are so excited, they're all waiting below."
When those eighteen-year-olds learned they could summon a pet, they couldn't be happier, dancing with joy.
They all hoped to become Pet Tamers soon, hunt monsters, and protect the ordinary people in the safe zone.
Ye Chen looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock, stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to head over."
Everyone got up and headed towards the air raid shelter.
The entrance of the air raid shelter was built quite secretly, its opening method exactly the same as the one Huo Yu had used before.
Upon entering, the people inside had already been waiting for a while.
Zhang Kang saw this and came forward first, "Brother Chen, you're here."
Ye Chen nodded with a smile, the eyes of many adolescents lit up instantly when they saw Ye Chen and the others, full of admiration and respect.
Aside from the fifty youngsters waiting to summon pets, others waited as well, all curious, wanting to see.
Ye Chen and his group walked inside, where everything was already arranged, ten high platforms had thirteen chairs, Ye Chen sat in the center, others in sequence.
Ye Chen said a few conventional words and without any further ado, the pet summoning ceremony began.
The first person was named Huang Biao, although just turned eighteen, he was already one hundred eighty-two centimeters tall, as fierce as his name suggested.
Zhang Kang cared deeply for the Preparation Army, truly doing his utmost.
He approached Huang Biao and explained the pet summoning method and rules.
At the age of eighteen, the Monster Chat Room opens, allowing pet summoning, but no detailed rules are provided.
Ye Chen looked at the System Points Mall, which had various tools, including a Good Luck Card for 100 Points, and a higher-level Collective Good Luck Card for 1000 Points.
The Collective Good Luck Card had a time limit, offering two hours of good luck.
(The Good Luck Card can only increase luck by thirty percent.)
Ye Chen knew that even with the Good Luck Card, summoning an Ultimate Venerable Tier pet wasn't guaranteed.
But if among the fifty people summoned, half of them could summon Legendary Grade pets, he would be satisfied.
After all, the vast majority were Elite, Rare Tier.
Since they only had ten summoning chances.
Ye Chen exchanged for the Collective Good Luck Card, kept it, and activated its use.
Huang Biao gulped, feeling a bit nervous about his first pet summoning.
Huo Yu and a few others revealed a trace of surprise; summoning a Rare Tier on the first try was already quite good.
Zhang Kang asked, "Would you like to continue?"
Huang Biao was clearly not satisfied and nodded.
Six consecutive times all resulted in Tier Three Rare!
Ye Chen understood that Huang Biao's continuous six summoning might all be Tier One Elite, and with the Good Luck Card's boost, they became Rare Tier.
Until the ninth time.
Zhang Kang stepped forward and said, "Huang Biao, I think this is good enough, it's your ninth attempt, one last chance remains, what if it's lower?"
Huang Biao showed a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
Zhang Kang added, "Huang Biao, actually the strength of pet tiers doesn't matter too much. Iron Bull, Grand General, and Chief Lin's pets are all Legendary Tier, but do you think they are weak?"
Zhang Kang's words were indeed true, for in essence, Legend and Divine Level, the two aren't too different, as Legendary Tier is highly varied.
Some pets can easily rival Ultimate Venerable Tier; it mainly depends on battle Experience and Attribute bonuses, like the Vajra Ape!
Huang Biao finally nodded and said, "Alright, I'll choose this one."
Huang Biao confirmed his pet, and a Fiery Bird with bright red feathers appeared before him.
The Fiery Bird chirped affectionately at Huang Biao twice, showing great intimacy.
Huang Biao smiled slightly, picked up the Fiery Bird, and placed it on his shoulder.
In fact, many people were somewhat envious of Huang Biao; after all, having a Tier Four Legendary pet was already quite good.
After Huang Biao stepped down, another person came up.
This person was much shorter than Huang Biao, only one hundred seventy-three centimeters tall.
He appeared somewhat thin, wearing glasses and looked quite cultured.
