CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: SISTER NING, LET ME SEE YOUR SUPERPOWER

After these words, Lin Yuanyang and Bai Xiaotang both took two steps back simultaneously, with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

Cao Zongming’s lackeys were confused. Seeing the two move, they thought they were scared, and were just about to deliver some victory lines when they heard a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Ah——"

Upon closer inspection, they saw Cao Zongming with one finger twisted by someone, in such pain that his facial features were distorted, his whole body squatting forward, nearly kneeling on the ground.

"Boss——"

"Let him go!"

The boys’ expressions changed, and they quickly moved forward to rescue him.

But Ji Ning was extremely strong, moving a boy taller than her with one hand, while with her other hand, her two fingers lightly tapped a few of the boys rushing in, and with several cries of pain, the three boys closest to her were all on the ground groaning, clutching their shoulders.

Only one boy was left, circling around Ji Ning on the other side trying to help Cao Zongming and hadn’t been dealt with yet.

Just as Ji Ning’s fingers were about to touch him, the boy put his hands in front of his face, apologizing loudly in surrender, "I’m sorry, I won’t dare anymore!"

Ji Ning retracted her hand while letting go of Cao Zongming, who was in such pain he couldn’t even scream, and clapped her hands, saying indifferently, "With skills like yours, you want to play boss? Go back and study hard to grow a brain."

Lin Yuanyang wanted to laugh, and indeed laughed out loud.

His Sister Ning was just that amazing!

But then Ji Ning looked back at him, frowning in disdain, "You’ve been bullied by these idiots before?"

Lin Yuanyang’s smile froze, and he really didn’t want to admit it, but still adjusted his glasses somewhat unnaturally and said, "I don’t want to bother with idiots."

Ji Ning rolled her eyes at him.

Although Cao Zongming’s finger hurt, it wasn’t broken. Upon hearing his usual bullying target dare to call him an idiot, he immediately fumed with anger and glared at Lin Yuanyang, "Just you wait!"

Lin Yuanyang knew Ji Ning wouldn’t take a small brat like Cao Zongming’s threats seriously, but the brat still had a large family backing him. He hadn’t yet secured the Lin Family’s support and didn’t want to escalate things to the family level just yet.

So he slowly walked over and stopped two steps away, adjusted his glasses and said, "I know you can’t stand me, think that a sickly person who won’t live past 20 took the honor that belongs to your cousin, but Cao Zongming, honor is attained through strength. Your low-level tricks have never concerned me. If you have the ability, let your cousin defeat me fair and square. I’m waiting for you in next year’s Huazhou High School Competition!"

Cao Zongming was shocked, sitting on the ground with a thud.

In the past, no matter how much he bullied this sickly kid, he would never fight back or even tell his family. Unexpectedly, today he dared to provoke him and his cousin?

Did this sickly kid take the wrong medicine? Who gave him such confidence?

Thinking of this, Cao Zongming looked at Ji Ning standing not far away.

Not too tall, thin enough to be blown over by the wind, yet this paper-thin person was able to twist his hand with one hand so that he didn’t have any strength to fight back, and he was at A1 physique.

Cao Zongming wasn’t stupid, in fact, he was smarter than many.

Lin Yuanyang has backing now!

This news must be told to his cousin.

***

Leaving the restaurant, Ji Ning and the three of them got into the Bai Family’s car to head to the airport.

The luggage had long been packed and placed in the trunk.

Lin Yuanyang sat in the front passenger seat, Ji Ning and Bai Xiaotang sat in the back seat.

With a road trip of more than two hours, it was just right for team gaming.

Since Ji Ning’s last exploration of the Deserted Island in "Chaotic World Fire", a large number of players had flocked to the Deserted Island seeking clues for superpower awakening.

The once solitary island had been explored to reveal a large new land. The game officials also took the opportunity to announce a new game map, unlocking more gameplay.

Looking at the upgraded game map, Bai Xiaotang felt like a lifetime had passed, nearly forgetting how to play.

"Sister Ning, I haven’t played the game for just a week, how has the level gap widened so much?"

Bai Xiaotang perused the game character rankings, slightly shocked.

The game rankings now had a new list, which was the character superpower level ranking, and the gameplay had shifted from a wilderness survival mode to a faction confrontation mode.

The new map gameplay was divided into five factions overall, with each faction having a cap of 10 people. These 10 people needed to find resources on the Deserted Island to build their own camp, not only to fend off mutant beasts and mutated corpses but also to seize the territories of other factions, building a unified safe zone to achieve victory.

Moreover, the faction gameplay had added many strategy-type props, such as transformation cards, disguise cards, surrender cards, defector cards, etc.

In other words, the initially chosen faction might not be the final faction, and players could switch factions at any time through a variety of props to finally become the winner.

It was totally the routine of despots ruling in a chaotic world.

Bai Xiaotang was stunned by this gameplay, found it very interesting but truly couldn’t play it well.

"If you find a prop card, don’t use it right away, tell me first." Lin Yuanyang reminded cautiously, then pressed the game start button.

In this team setup, he was the captain.

Now entering the Deserted Island was no longer a matter of randomly trying out places on the big map but directly had an option for the Deserted Island.

Lin Yuanyang pressed the Deserted Island mode, and the screen immediately switched to the gaming CG, where a group of people sailed out to sea, and was overturned by a giant fishtail, with the protagonists diving into the sea to escape. Fortunately, an island appeared ahead.

The several of them quickly swam towards the island...

Lin Yuanyang’s team had only three people, and the game screen displayed a faction option, each faction showing the current number of participants.

Some had 10 people fully staffed, some had fewer than 10 people.

Lin Yuanyang initially wanted to choose a faction with 0 people, but was not allowed as his team had fewer than 5 people, and could only choose a faction with 5 but fewer than 7 people.

Factions with these recruits were basically mixed teams without any tacit understanding, and you still had to guard against people from the same faction betraying you and defecting to another faction.

After the faction selection was completed, the three were transported to a dark shore.

The sound of the rushing sea was in their ears, and it was tranquil all around.

Among the three game characters, only [Daddy Ning], Ji Ning’s character, had awakened to a superpower, possessing a fire ability, at level one.

In this faction battle, to prevent each player’s initial abilities from differing too much, all game characters had basic stats, including characters that had awakened superpowers.

Besides having a first-level fire ability, [Daddy Ning]’s body attributes were nearly identical to the other two characters from other aspects.

"Sister Ning, let me see your superpower."

Bai Xiaotang suddenly said this, and sitting in front, Lin Yuanyang’s body shivered suddenly, nearly dropping the tablet in his hand.

On the screen, [Daddy Ning]’s finger produced a tiny flame flickering as if it could be extinguished by the sea breeze at any moment. Bai Xiaotang was immediately a little disappointed, "Ah, this tiny flame isn’t even as bright as a flashlight, can it fight mutant beasts?"
