Chapter 139 World 9: Can't Provoke
The next morning, the fog finally dissipated. After a night of suffering, the survivors began to notice significant changes in themselves. Many of the previously ill had miraculously recovered, and even more astonishingly, some even gained extraordinary abilities, often referred to as supernatural powers.
Mingche still awakened the fire ability, while Nan Yuhuan awakened the water ability, and Mu Yuan mastered the thunder ability.
M41 stared at the small flame burning in his hand, a hint of relief in her eyes. "Great, you've successfully awakened your superpowers. Next, you can go fight bosses and level up. Those monsters are the materials for upgrading. They have a kind of energy crystal hidden in their heads. This crystal is very hard. Unless the monster chooses to self-destruct or devour it, no external force can damage it. But it's different for superpowers. You can absorb the energy within it."
Mingche suddenly realized that this was exactly the same zombie setting as in the novels he had read.
He then asked, "What about Nan Yuhuan and Mu Yuan? What types of abilities do they have?"
"Nan Yuhuan is a water element, and Mu Yuan is a lightning element," M41 added after a moment's thought, a look of anxiety and determination in his eyes. "No one else knows about the crystal yet, so we must act before anyone else does! Once you successfully upgrade, the threat posed by Mu Yuan and the others will be greatly reduced."
As the flame in his hand gradually died down, a hint of pride and confidence appeared on Mingche's face: "These guys are not enough to scare me."
He turned to look at M41, and then asked, "Let's go out and fight the BOSS now. By the way, is Yue Youyou still in that villa?" Yue Youyou's residence was arranged by M41, and he also told Mingche, and was just waiting for Warcraft to arrive and save the beauty.
M41 checked his system panel and replied, "Yes, she's still there."
"Did she gain any special abilities?" Mingche asked curiously.
"There should be, and it's probably a wood-type ability." M41 guessed, recalling the scene when Yue Youyou awakened last time.
Hearing this news, Mingche's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile: "Haha, this is really interesting..."
At the same time, Yue Youyou, who was missed by Mingche, was immersed in a sweet dream and had no idea of the upcoming turning point of her fate.
☆☆☆☆☆
That night, not only humans, but even the monsters evolved and became even more powerful.
Ming Che chose to jump from the rooftop, using a parachute to ensure a safe landing. As soon as he landed, he casually threw a ball of fire at a small monster charging towards him. The small monster was instantly charred, emitting an enticing barbecue aroma.
M41 couldn't help swallowing, tears streaming down her face. "Don't waste the monster's flesh! It contains a lot of energy, but also a lot of impurities. I can absorb them, though."
Mingche pried open the roasted beast's head and found a small white crystal that was flickering with a faint light.
M41 explained: "The lowest level crystal."
Mingche asked doubtfully, "Are there any levels?"
"Yes, generally speaking, the grades of crystals, from high to low, are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The lower grades are white, and the higher grades are colored. However, colored crystals are extremely rare, almost non-existent," M41 replied. Previously, colored crystals had never appeared in the later stages of the Worry-Free Realm.
Mingche tightly grasped the white crystal in his hand, trying to absorb the energy contained within. Before long, the white crystal turned into powder and drifted away in the wind.
He casually threw the dead monster to M41 beside him and said, "Clean this thing up, we'll each have half."
M41 was extremely excited. He took the Warcraft with a smile on his face and replied happily, "Okay!"
Mingche looked around and noticed that the number of magical beasts today was significantly less than yesterday. Aside from the one he had just killed, no other new magical beasts had appeared in the area he was in.
M41 held a roasted beast leg, sprinkled it with various seasonings, and devoured it with relish. While battling the leg, it mumbled an explanation to Mingche, "You humans are constantly evolving, and so are these magical beasts. Furthermore, prey in the outside world has been almost completely depleted. It's a world of the jungle, with the strong preying on the weak, and the big fish eating the small. So, you're lucky to encounter a small magical beast."
Mu Yuan, perched high above the mall, watched Mingche slay the monster. As he evolved, he not only gained lightning powers but also a divinely-aided "clairvoyance" skill.
He clearly witnessed Mingche prying the beast apart like a ripe fruit, extracting a white, glowing stone from its core. He watched as the stone instantly crumbled to dust, like a meteor vanishing in the night sky. He also saw the beast's leg being mercilessly bitten off, bite by bite, yet the mysterious being that bit it remained invisible, like a ghost lurking in the darkness.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t have “super hearing”, otherwise he would be able to hear what Mingche said.
Mu Yuan stared at Mingche's receding figure and fell into deep thought.
In the villa area, Yue Youyou just woke up from her sleep and saw the steaming breakfast on the table, which was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning warming her.
She stretched like a lazy kitten, and after washing up, she sat at the table, enjoying the delicious breakfast as if it were a feast for the taste buds.
Yue Youyou took a sip of the hot soy milk and sighed with satisfaction. This soy milk is really good! The taste is delicate and the aroma is fragrant, making people feel extremely comfortable and happy.
What could be happier than waking up in the morning to see a loving breakfast carefully prepared by your boyfriend?
She picked up the sticky note that Chen Huyi had placed under the soy milk cup and read the words on it carefully.
The handwriting was vigorous and powerful. "Eat well and stay at home. I'll be back soon."
The signature is a small emoticon: ????(??????)
Yue Youyou smiled slightly, her heart filled with sweetness and warmth.
Chen Huyi is such a careful and considerate person, he always takes care of her meticulously.
Of course she is happy to stay at home, after all, she is a veteran homebody!
I just don’t know where M41 went. I haven’t seen it for several days.
But it’s also good that he’s not around, so that I don’t have to nag her every day and ask her to pursue Mingche.
Thinking of that annoying guy, Yue Youyou couldn't help but frown.
Humph, she doesn't want to have too much contact with that guy!
Chen Juyi is still the best, gentle, handsome and considerate.
Thinking of this, Yue Youyou's face was filled with a happy smile as she continued to enjoy the delicious breakfast.
It was not until the evening that Chen Juyi returned home, accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun. In his hand, he was holding an exquisite flower basket, which was sparkling with colorful and crystal-clear lights, which made people look sideways.
Yue Youyou happily took the basket and carefully observed the sparkling stones inside, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion. She gently fiddled with the stones and asked curiously, "What are these? They look so beautiful!"
Chen Yuyi smiled and explained, "These are magical beast energy crystals, containing powerful energy. As long as you hold them in your hands and feel them with your heart, you can absorb the energy within and thus enhance your strength."
"Oh oh." Yue Youyou nodded in sudden realization, picked up the basket without hesitation, sat down on the bed, and began to concentrate on absorbing the energy inside.
Chen Yuyi looked at her quietly for a moment, then confirmed that nothing was wrong and headed towards the kitchen. He took out a high-level magical beast from his storage bag, ready to show off his superb culinary skills.
As Yue Youyou absorbed the last crystal, her aura suddenly increased, and she successfully advanced to the third-level psychic.
Chen Yuyi spent the entire day running around the small world, slaughtering various high-level monsters to his heart's content. Finally, under the desperate pleas of Tiandao, he reluctantly agreed to spare a few monsters, leaving humanity with a glimmer of hope.
Tiandao looked at Chen Huyi's unsatisfied look and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
I can’t afford to offend you! I really can’t afford to offend you!
The alluring aroma of barbecue wafted over, stirring Yue Youyou's appetite. She couldn't wait to jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen. Chen Huyi seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. When Yue Youyou peeked out, he immediately picked up a piece of fragrant barbecue and handed it to her.
Yue Youyou took a bite without hesitation, her eyes instantly brightening at the delicious barbecue. Chen Yuyi carefully picked out a piece of barbecue that wasn't too hot and handed it to her. Seeing her eat with relish, her eyes narrowed as she savored the food, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Eat slowly, it's all yours, plenty!"
