"Really? Can I awaken a superpower like you?" In Meng De's room, Jia Yi jumped up excitedly, and Meng De nodded with a smile.
Just moments ago, Meng De had been captivated by Jia Yi's long, fair legs, which were dazzlingly white. Driven by a man's instinct, he subconsciously activated his Psychic Perception. As a result, he saw something in the woman's mind—a small, glowing orb, similar to his own Superpower Crystal, though much smaller, about the size of a grain of rice, and still unformed.
Recalling that Jia Yi's Awakened ability progress had already reached 96%, Meng De realized that this was undoubtedly a precursor to her awakening. If he hadn't awakened the "Psychic Perception" ability, he might never have noticed this phenomenon.
With Psychic Perception, it was as if he had gained X-ray vision, allowing him to see things that ordinary people couldn't. This could be quite useful, such as exploring the delightful scenery beneath certain small garments, saving the trouble of undressing—efficient and straightforward!
Of course, if the other person was on guard, they might still detect his perception, just as Jia Yi and her sister had the previous night.
At this moment, Meng De didn't stop Jia Yi's excitement. He understood the helplessness and sorrow she, a strong and independent woman who had raised her younger sister, must have felt when facing monsters after the apocalypse. He also knew her intense desire for power—the drive to protect was formidable.
As for whether he needed to worry about Jia Yi betraying him after awakening her superpower, Meng De had no such concerns. The system had already provided the answer: when a woman's affection for him reached 100, she would be utterly loyal to him, never betraying him.
Meng De then used his Psychic Perception to thoroughly examine Jia Yi's body. Under his perception, he could clearly see every structure within her, even each blood vessel. Of course, this was only possible because Jia Yi didn't resist and was willing to cooperate.
Jia Yi also realized where that sense of being watched had come from the previous night. Meng De explained that it was a newly awakened ability of his. Since it was her man who had seen her, what could she say? After all, they had already done everything there was to do.
However, to Meng De's surprise, as the examination continued, Jia Yi's face grew increasingly red. Why did this examination feel so strange? Just as this thought crossed her mind, Jia Yi collapsed into his arms.
???
Meng De swore by his ancestors: he really hadn't done anything!
At lunch, Xiao Yao tilted her head and asked the fatal question again, "Elder Sister, what's wrong with your hand?"
Jia Yi, flushed with embarrassment, stammered, "I—"
Fortunately, she had experience with this before. "Oh, it's nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Jia Yi mentally praised herself for her quick thinking.
Xiao Yao: ???
Why hasn't Elder Sister been sleeping well again???
Meng De hadn't left the house these past few days, and there was enough food. With the external threats in the neighborhood resolved, he didn't have to worry about being ambushed at home for the time being!
So these past few days, he spent his days familiarizing himself with and using his superpowers.
As soon as night fell, Meng De would sneak over to the opposite side.
It turned out that his hard work had paid off.
Bai Jie's favorability towards him directly increased from 60 to 82.
Compared to Jia Yi and the others, Bai Jie's favorability increase was like she had activated a cheat code, definitely the fastest.
Speaking of which, it was quite similar to her Innate Sacred Body—dormant until awakened, and then, well, it was a whole new level of trouble.
Therefore, he had essentially discovered the trick to increasing Bai Jie's favorability towards him.
In simple terms, it boiled down to ten words: Don't be lazy, keep your head down and work hard!
The kind heavens won't let down anyone who works hard!
You reap what you sow!
If you haven't reaped anything, congratulations, you've hit the jackpot!
Because you'll get a special mention from Boss Li: Sometimes, look for reasons within yourself. Has your salary increased over all these years? Have you been working diligently?
Clearly, Meng De understood that "you have to give to receive."
And so, his hard work paid off with an increase in favorability, which in turn rewarded him with two new sub-abilities of his SSS-level Psychokinesis!
The first was a sub-ability of SSS-level Psychokinesis—"Psychokinesis (Psychic Control)": Using psychokinetic powers to control the movement of objects, allowing for long-range weapon control and sniping!
He knew this one!
Brother Feng, the Lord of the Galaxy, started his rise to fame with this very cheat!
Later, he even became the top psychic master on Kepler Planet!
So, Meng De could now "pre-install" this skill!
Pre-installing a life? Pre-installing a skill isn't too much to ask, right?
After these days of practice, he had gone from only being able to control one fruit knife to simultaneously controlling ten.
Of course, the more knives he controlled at once, the greater the drain on his superpower.
But he genuinely looked forward to the day he could shout "Sword, come!" and recreate the "Return of Ten Thousand Swords to Their Origin"!
That would truly be a real-life Sword Control Technique!
In his past life, he had seen a slow-motion video by a blogger who forged ten thousand swords, meticulously recreating the scene of the Return of Ten Thousand Swords to Their Origin!
It had left him exhilarated!
Even with just a five-cent special effect, it was still incredibly cool!
Unfortunately, he never got his hands on a sword to fulfill his dream of wandering the martial world with a blade.
But now, he had the chance.
Most importantly, this Psychokinesis sub-ability could be combined with his SSS-level Spatial Ability.
One for containment, the other for attack!
The second SSS-level Psychokinesis sub-ability he obtained was "Psychic Shapeshifting"!
It allowed him to condense psychokinesis into different shapes, such as knives, swords, axes, hammers, and more.
Once shaped, it could be used for precise cutting and attacking!
And it's worth noting that this attack was "intangible"!
It directly destroyed from the soul level!
To summarize these two abilities: one was an external attack, the other an internal one!
But if he had to say which was more powerful and insidious, he'd definitely choose "Psychic Shapeshifting"!
After all, the first one could still be seen and defended against, but the second was truly unpredictable!
So overall, he had been living quite comfortably these past few days.
But this comfortable life didn't last long.
On the 15th day of the Apocalypse, it happened to be the day of Crazy Smoked Chicken 4!
The era of no water, no electricity, and no gas had finally arrived!!!
This meant that the phones, which could still send text messages before, would now be completely useless!
And they would be completely cut off from the outside world!
This O. Henry-style sudden change added another layer of hardship to the cruel Apocalypse!!!
The entire world would plunge into complete madness.
