CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 59: DETERMINING ACTS OF INFLATING COMBAT POWER

Su Qiangwei felt her eyes sting a little.

If she remembered correctly...

Ma Ran should be a severe cleanliness freak, right?

This guy usually takes great care!

Whenever he appears in front of people, he’s always immaculate, perfectly clean.

Honestly...

She felt quite accomplished making Ma Ran change even a little.

"You attention-seeker, you really know how to be sentimental!"

"Tsk..."

"No more talk!"

"Just in this short time, I’ve lost more than forty pounds!"

"This ability of [Energy Transmission] is really trash, no wonder it’s rated as [Under Development] level."

"Just transmitting a little bit of power to you all remotely almost starved me to death on the spot!"

"That feeling, I really don’t want to experience it a second time..."

Muttering a few words, Su Qiangwei took the initiative to sever the superpower link of [Unity] and [Caged Gaze].

In this A3 District Nightmare event, she had also grown a lot.

At first, when Su Qiangwei knew A3 District was on alert, she was quite relaxed.

As long as she ate and drank, she could use superpowers nearly without cost.

She could also use [Caged Gaze] to monitor the dynamics within A3 District in real-time, which was equivalent to having a VIP audience seat!

The [Unity] ability even allowed Su Qiangwei to feedback her thoughts to the "main characters" within A3 District at any time, and change the "storyline" according to her wishes.

But from the moment she truly connected with Ma Ran, her mentality changed immediately.

The Pillar-level superpower [Unity], copied from Liu Huadie, ostensibly allowed sound to be transmitted to anyone, ignoring spatial restrictions.

In fact, it also let the ability user faintly sense the mindset of the contacted person.

When connecting with Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei even forgot to chew the potato chips she had just put in her mouth.

She didn’t know how to describe it, couldn’t immediately find the right words to fit.

What kind of mindset was that?

Bravely decisive!

Bearing the mission!

Fearless of death!

In short...

Very brave!

Su Qiangwei was shocked.

Before, she always thought Ma Ran was a not overly pretentious show-off, sometimes a bit annoying, yet always exuding irresistible charm.

But...

After feeling Ma Ran’s mindset through [Unity], Su Qiangwei felt she had to re-evaluate this person!

She never imagined that such peers truly existed in the world.

And that person was right beside her...

Ma Ran’s mindset was very strange!

Logically speaking, it was completely inexplicable!

After all, Ma Ran wasn’t some guy who popped out of a rock.

Su Qiangwei had been classmates with him for years; they knew each other well.

They were all successors, born in New China, raised under the red flag, going to school and submitting homework on time, with no hidden multiple identities.

Since they all lived in peaceful times, how could Ma Ran develop such a mindset?

But...

Superpowers don’t lie!

The shock brought by that mindset made Su Qiangwei suddenly feel like a salted fish and insignificant.

Her perceptive mind quickly guessed the hidden big secret!

The [Limited Foreknowledge] ability might have been fake from the start!

Ma Ran’s superpower should be [Foreknowledge]!

After all, Ma Ran was a competitor at Grass Hut Academy who was on par with her, Su Qiangwei.

What kind of lousy power is [Limited Foreknowledge]?

Does it even match Ma Ran?

So...

There’s only one truth!

Ma Ran could foresee all future disasters and add various interfering factors in his mind, conducting calculations and deductions with extraordinary brain power!

After deep reflection, repeated thoughts, and countless deductions, Ma Ran knew if he did not personally intervene, the disaster within A3 District would spread globally, bringing even cataclysmic disasters to humanity!

Thus, after complex psychological struggles, Ma Ran finally made up his mind to enter A3 District alone to resolve the disaster!

This was the "truth" Su Qiangwei realized.

She would keep this secret!

From that moment, Su Qiangwei decided to help Ma Ran perfectly resolve this sudden A3 District crisis.

As long as she could contribute in this event, even without the chance to be present, she would still have played a role, right?

Qiangwei’s life is not weaker than others!

She used the four superpowers from Yingchuan Academy, [Unity], [Caged Gaze], [Impression Label], and [Energy Transmission], to provide huge help for Ma Ran and Song Chu!

From an enjoying process of replenishing energy by eating, to sore cheeks, and then to numb taste buds, Su Qiangwei had become a ruthless eating machine.

Fortunately, while using [Myriad Transformations] to master various abilities, all the food she ate seemed to disappear into another dimension, with her stomach and intestines not burdened too much.

Most importantly...

She didn’t have to keep running to the bathroom!

This allowed Su Qiangwei to maintain her little fairy image.

After awakening the [Myriad Transformations] ability, she was the brightest kid in the entire Grass Hut Academy!

Just like in some sand sculpture novels—an immortal body, immaculate and free of impurities.

As a little fairy, she didn’t need to excrete!

Suddenly, her phone rang.

"Take off the mask of the long day, and head towards the dreamland."

"In the midnight of the pumpkin carriage, put on the glass shoes of fairy tales."

"Let me enjoy this feeling, I am the proud rose..."

Without even needing to look at the caller ID.

This was the exclusive ringtone Su Qiangwei set for her rival.

Amidst the exclamations of the nurse and under the serious gaze of the head doctor, Su Qiangwei directly pulled out the glucose infusion tube from the back of her hand, gracefully sliding her slender fingers across the screen to accept the call.

After all, they had just fought side by side, saving thousands of lives in A3 District together.

Su Qiangwei decided to change her attitude, to temper her pettily sarcastic speaking habit.

She spoke calmly, "After just saving A3 District, aren’t you a bit tired, big hero?"

"After resolving a crisis, at least take a break, right?"

"Routine life is important too."

"The real world isn’t some tabletop game..."

"Interludes of growth also require time!"

On the other end of the line, Ma Ran’s voice came through quickly.

"Originally a bit tired, but..."

"I had an epiphany during the life-and-death crisis."

"Just now, the mature mini acupoint organs in my body have expanded to 128."

"In other words..."

"My Black Rock Martial Arts cultivation has reached the Seventh Rank of Inner Qi level."

Su Qiangwei’s eyes stared blankly, her teeth gritting loudly.

"You specifically called just to tell me this?"

Why doesn’t Master Heaven send a bolt of lightning to collect this demon?

She, a dignified National Guardian-level ability user, hadn’t even reached the First Rank of Inner Qi yet!

Grass Hut Academy started relatively late, among the first batch of members...

There was only Ma Ran who had currently reached the First Rank of Inner Qi level.

Ma Ran attempted to raise his combat power, but didn’t immediately receive feedback from [play]—obviously, only Su Qiangwei’s "belief" wasn’t enough to bridge the gap from the Sixth Rank of Inner Qi to the Seventh Rank.

"No."

His tone was very calm: "You need to come to A3 District in person."
