After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Could It Be Treasure?

When Nina Jacobs returned to the base, the Superpower User competition wasn’t over yet.

So, she decided to go to the arena.

It just so happened that a team called "Mordath" was facing off against the Superpower User Alliance.

"Nina Jacobs, over here, quick!"

Shirley Lucas was watching with great interest.

He was currently in a rescue team uniform, sitting among the other members, so he didn’t have to worry about anyone recognizing him.

After all, he always wore women’s clothing for his undercover missions elsewhere.

Many of the rescue team members recognized Nina Jacobs, and when they saw her approaching, someone immediately made room for her.

Nina Jacobs smiled, thanked them, and sat down next to Shirley Lucas.

"You got here just in time. The Superpower User Alliance’s little boss hasn’t gone up yet,"

Shirley Lucas said excitedly.

’Little boss?’

Nina Jacobs then realized that the "little boss" Shirley Lucas mentioned was Tyson Hughes.

"They seem pretty decent."

Nina Jacobs watched the match on the field for a few moments.

She had heard that the people from Mordath might forfeit.

But they’d shown up after all, and the Wind Element Superpower User on the field right now was certainly not weak.

"If the Superpower User Alliance’s top experts hadn’t been poached by headquarters, these guys wouldn’t have a chance to show off."

Shirley Lucas said with a pout.

"Poached?"

’It sounds like the Superpower User Alliance headquarters and Tyson Hughes aren’t on very good terms.’

"The little boss was forced to agree. How is that not poaching?"

Shirley Lucas felt a little sorry for Tyson Hughes.

Eighty percent of the fruits of his hard work had been snatched away by people from headquarters.

It would have been one thing if they had just transferred him back, but it seemed headquarters only saw him as a tool for making money.

Tyson Hughes had personally trained those experts. No wonder he was angry.

"It does seem complicated."

Nina Jacobs recalled what Tyson Hughes had said at the convenience store. ’Did he leave the Gold behind because he didn’t want headquarters to take it?’

"If only I could compete. I wonder what it feels like to absorb a Mystic Ice Core,"

Shirley Lucas said with envy.

Unfortunately, he was just a Space Superpower User with no combat abilities.

The top three winners of the competition would not only each receive a Mystic Ice Core, but also a lot of points. Even their entire teams would earn a good amount of points.

But Shirley Lucas was only envious of the Mystic Ice Core.

"..."

Seeing Shirley Lucas’s longing gaze, Nina Jacobs remembered all the news he’d brought her about Melanie Lawson. Perhaps she should thank him.

’After all, I have a whole bag of Mystic Ice Cores right now...’

Finally, it was Tyson Hughes’s turn.

His opponent was an Earth Element Superpower User. Just as everyone thought the Earth Superpower would be enough to hold him off for a bit, the Earth Element Superpower User was defeated in an instant.

"He really shows no mercy,"

Shirley Lucas said, shaking his head.

Mordath had already done very well. The fact that they never considered forfeiting was admirable in itself.

"The Thunder Superpower is truly formidable."

Not to mention Tyson Hughes was also a Speed Element Superpower User.

"I hope he’s not your opponent."

However, Shirley Lucas also noticed that Nina Jacobs didn’t seem worried at all.

To him, that calmness looked more like confidence.

"Want to come over for dinner tonight?"

Nina Jacobs asked suddenly.

"Sure!"

Shirley Lucas had heard that a master chef was staying at Nina Jacobs’s house and had been wanting to go get a taste of some real food.

Although the chef was much younger and shyer than he’d imagined, after a hearty meal and drinks, he suddenly felt like life was worth living again.

Compared to the unappetizing soup and rice in the cafeteria, this was real human food!

"Shirley, it’s been a while. You’ve definitely gotten thinner,"

Vera Coleman said.

The last time she’d seen Shirley Lucas was at the shelter.

She just remembered that Shirley Lucas got along very well with her daughter, just like sisters.

"You always know how to spoil me, Auntie. I’ll come visit you and the baby again next time,"
