Chapter 11 Absorbing Crystal Cores, Advancing Identification Abilities!
Chapter 11 Absorbing Crystal Cores, Advancing Identification Abilities!
At this moment, the red crystal core in Zhang Luoyan's hand had completely disappeared, but her fist was still clenched tightly.
Large beads of sweat clung to her glistening forehead, her temples were matted together, and her white shirt was soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her sexy body.
"This scene does resemble the so-called 'wet and sexy' allure, but why don't I feel anything at all right now? At such a young age, could it be—absolutely impossible!"
Wang Ce shook his head, feeling that it wasn't right to let Zhang Luoyan just lie on the sofa like that.
Although the weather isn't cold now, if you're soaked in sweat and left unattended, the chances of getting sick are very high.
This is not like before the transmigration, when there was a pharmacy every three steps. In this world, getting sick, even just a cold or fever, could be fatal.
After laying Zhang Luoyan down on the office sofa, Wang Ce searched the employee work area before finally finding a pack of wet wipes in the finance department's drawer.
In the crevice of the folding bed in his office, there was a neatly folded pink blanket.
I searched the entire fifth floor but couldn't find any clothes to change into.
"You're soaking wet, and you have to take your clothes off. Believe it or not, my motives and actions right now are very pure."
Wang Ce covered Zhang Luoyan with a blanket, and then began to fumble to take off his clothes.
"One, two, three, four—hmm, that's all."
I wiped its entire body with wet wipes, then wrung them out into a ball and threw them on the ground. This process took twelve wet wipes.
"Mineral water is precious and shouldn't be wasted, so let's just wipe it with a wet wipe."
At this stage, doing laundry is absolutely impossible.
Wang Ce simply wiped the clothes with a wet wipe and hung them directly in his office.
Of course, the office curtains were drawn; he hadn't forgotten that Zhao Erde, the workshop supervisor of the Xinke Plastics Factory across the street, had done a live broadcast from the window yesterday.
"Something's wrong, my body is burning up!"
It was already dark, and Wang Ce didn't dare to go out to find medicine for Zhang Luoyan, and the property management might not even provide it.
Before the time travel, the property management staff were a bunch of people who didn't know their own names, and they were so confident that they were always bragging.
"I've done my best. You'll have to get through this on your own. Does this stuff really have such severe side effects?"
Wang Ce opened a bottle of mineral water, poured the water onto the cap, and carefully fed it to Zhang Luoyan.
His body was indeed quite hot, and his lips were so dry they were wrinkled.
Zhang Luoyan lay asleep on the sofa, so Wang Ce removed the chair cushion and placed it on the floor. He sat at her feet and dozed off for a while.
"Thirsty, so thirsty—"
Late at night, Wang Ce groggily opened his eyes and poured water for Zhang Luoyan. He poured water for her several times throughout the night until his body could no longer take it and he fell asleep completely.
Wang Ce slept very poorly that night, which led to a dream in which he was sucking on a lollipop. Strangely, the lollipop was salty.
As you eat it, it turns sweet, and then salty.
This went on and on countless times until, at a certain moment, I suddenly opened my eyes.
"Huh? Where did that woman go? Did she spontaneously combust from the heat?"
"Could it be that he/she has awakened the ability to become invisible?"
Wang Ce had just woken up and was a little dazed. He reached out and touched the sofa, but it was empty.
The moment he stood up, the blanket slipped off him, and he was surprised to find that the blanket had been draped over him without his knowledge.
Before Wang Ce could even realize what was happening and observe his surroundings, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"What, you didn't get enough of touching me while I was unconscious, and now that I'm awake, you want to continue touching me?"
Wang Ce turned around awkwardly. Zhang Luoyan had already put on her clothes. He glanced at the time and saw that it was already 9:30.
"Cough cough, are you alright? Believe it or not, I didn't do anything last night."
Zhang Luoyan remained silent, only glancing at Wang Ce and then at the wads of damp towels on the ground used for wiping sweat, a faint smile playing on her lips.
This woman probably thinks I did *that* to her last night, doesn't she?
Wang Ce felt a little uneasy under Zhang Luoyan's gaze and quickly changed the subject:
"After absorbing the crystal core, did your body exhibit any abnormal phenomena, such as the development of superpowers?"
Seeing Wang Ce's serious expression, Zhang Luoyan looked him over suspiciously, then gently raised her hand and made an arm-wrestling motion.
Wang Ce's eyes lit up; it seemed that Zhang Luoyan's strength had improved.
He reached out and grasped Zhang Luoyan's small, slender hand, applying slight pressure, but it remained motionless.
With increased force, he slammed the bowl down, reaching the peak, and finally bent Zhang Luoyan at a certain angle.
"Clatter!"
With a slap, Zhang Luoyan slammed Wang Ce's hand onto the solid wood desk, causing him some pain.
"My power has indeed increased dramatically, but I seem to have awakened a superpower; I can control light."
"Perhaps my current abilities are insufficient, or perhaps I need a lot of practice; at present, I can only make very slight changes to reality."
Wang Ce nodded. From any perspective, they needed to take the initiative to go out and explore.
Firstly, we need to solve the problems of food and water; secondly, we must be one step ahead and expand this superpower as quickly as possible.
If Zhao Erde or Yang Miao were to acquire superpowers first, what would happen next would probably be something he didn't want to see.
"There are still three red crystal cores left. Let Huang Feipeng evolve first. His basic power is already great. If he evolves first, our safety will be better guaranteed."
Zhang Luoyan nodded, distributed the food for the day, and then left the small office next door for Huang Feipeng to use for evolution.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Huang Feipeng stripped down to his underwear and grinned, saying, "Brother Ce, let's begin!"
Wang Ce: ? Something feels off.
Just then, Zhang Luoyan passed by the door and heard the voice. She glanced at Wang Ce with a mischievous look.
Two hours later, Huang Feipeng had completely absorbed the red crystal core in his hand, and his eyes became clearer and clearer.
"Brother Ce, why don't I feel dizzy at all? Manager Zhang was unconscious and had a high fever, but I'm perfectly fine now."
"If there's any change, it's that I'm very hungry now, extremely hungry."
When Huang Feipeng put on his clothes and swaggered into Zhang Luoyan's office with Wang Ce, Zhang Luoyan was slightly taken aback.
"It seems that the reason I fainted was because my basic physical condition was relatively poor, so my body reacted more strongly when receiving this kind of power."
"Come on, let's arm wrestle!"
Zhang Luoyan arm wrestled with Huang Feipeng, and the result was the same as when Wang Ce arm wrestled with her—the difference in skill was huge.
It seems that improving physical fitness is something everyone experiences.
"Fatty, do you ever feel like you have some kind of superpower?"
Zhang Luoyan has superpowers, but it's unknown whether Huang Feipeng does. It's currently impossible to determine whether the development of superpowers is an inevitable event.
"My strength has become much greater than before. As for my superpowers, when I touched the metal of the doorknob just now, I felt like I could control it."
"The feeling is very strong, but there's no way to intensify it. If I try to intensify it, I feel extremely tired."
Zhang Luoyan nodded and said, "That's right, I felt the same way at first, but after trying it out, I found that this feeling gradually becomes stronger as the number of times I practice increases."
"The currently discovered method to enhance superpowers is through repeated training to strengthen bodily memory."
"There's another point: after absorbing the red crystal core, you'll become extremely hungry."
"At first I thought it was because my body had suddenly evolved and therefore needed a lot of energy."
"But after I finished eating, I got hungry even faster than before."
Huang Feipeng nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, I feel extremely hungry right now. I thought I had awakened a special ability to eat a lot."
Wang Ce smiled knowingly: "Hurry up and eat. Jingmao Luggage also killed two giant wolves, and they also found red crystal cores inside the giant wolves' skulls."
"If they discover its usefulness, it can quickly create two evolved beings."
Zhang Luoyan took out one of the remaining two red crystal cores and handed it to Wang Ce, saying expectantly:
"Your turn. Let's see what superpowers you can awaken!"
Wang Ce held the red crystal core in his hand. He couldn't sit still for more than two hours. Since he hadn't slept well the night before, he simply closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The feeling of waking up to find yourself with superpowers is like opening a blind box; nobody knows what will happen.
Two hours later, Wang Ce opened his eyes and was completely stunned!
"Brother Ce, what's wrong? Tell me quickly, what superpower have you awakened!"
Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng were very curious, after all, it was their first time mastering the extraordinary, and they were still excited.
Wang Ce's expression was somewhat indescribable. It wasn't that he was hiding his abilities, but rather that this thing really couldn't be spoken.
