Graduate student Xia Qingqing was on her way back to school after a job interview when she was struck and killed by an object from beyond the skies, transmigrating to the food and water-scarce 1970...
Xia Qingqing told Xie Yue about her discovery and asked curiously, "So this is how you all enhance your superpowers?"
"This can indeed improve one's abilities faster, but few people use this method because it is very dangerous to exhaust all one's abilities," Xie Yue explained calmly.
"I see," Xia Qingqing nodded in understanding.
Suddenly her stomach rumbled. Although she didn't feel like she had much of an appetite, her stomach didn't lie.
Xie Yue raised her lips and urged, "Sister Qingqing, hurry up and eat something. You haven't eaten much today. Even an iron body can't take it."
"Okay," Xia Qingqing nodded with a smile.
Then she took out two boxed meals from the system warehouse and handed one of them over: "Yueyue, you probably haven't eaten yet either."
"Thank you, Sister Qingqing," Xie Yue said without standing on ceremony. She smiled, took the lunchbox, and started eating heartily, a feeling of happiness welling up inside her.
Although she could enjoy delicious meals cooked by her brother at home, her meals plummeted whenever she went out on missions. They were either compressed biscuits or dry bread, making her question her existence.
Meng Tianyu, who was munching on dry biscuits, suddenly smelled the aroma of meat and followed the scent to find Xia Qingqing and Xie Yue, who were enjoying their meal in a corner.
Meng Tianyu's eyes widened, and he complained aggrievedly, "You two are going too far! You can't even keep your distance when you're eating alone. Are you trying to make me drool? What are you up to?!"
Xia Qingqing paused in her eating, looked up at Meng Tianyu, and asked, "Do you want to eat too?"
"Um...is that okay? I'll trade you my crystal cores," Meng Tianyu said, feeling a little awkward after his little scheme was exposed, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the food.
Hearing that he wanted to trade crystal cores for her, Xia Qingqing thought for a moment and then agreed: "I only want ice, water, fire, lightning, and mental types, nothing else."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say," Meng Tianyu said, swallowing hard.
Xia Qingqing took out a boxed lunch from the system warehouse and handed it to Meng Tianyu: "Here, let me give you a friendly price. One level 3 crystal core for one boxed lunch, and one level 4 crystal core for five boxed lunches."
That's absolutely no problem. With his superpowers, killing level 3 zombies is child's play for him.
After taking a bite of the fragrant rice mixed with meat gravy, Meng Tianyu was so moved that he almost shed tears.
Soon, the others in the group were also attracted by the aroma.
"What are you eating while hiding here?" Qu Qiu asked curiously.
While eating his boxed lunch in large bites, Meng Tianyu replied indistinctly, "I traded the boxed lunch with Qingqing using crystal cores."
Qu Qiu's eyes lit up, and his gaze toward Xia Qingqing became fiery: "Qingqing, do you have any more? I'd like to trade some crystal cores with you."
"I want to too."
"Me too, I want to change as well."
Seeing the longing in everyone's eyes, Xia Qingqing thought for a moment and then agreed.
However, she also planned to eat secretly next time. Although she had a lot of food in her system warehouse, it would run out sooner or later. Since she couldn't use the trading system now, once it was gone, it would be truly gone.
"This is so delicious, Qingqing, thank you so much. We would never have been able to eat such a delicious meal if it weren't for you," Qu Qiu said to Xia Qingqing, rubbing her slightly full stomach.
All the boxed lunches in Xia Qingqing's system warehouse were ordered by Zhou Wei from familiar restaurants, with two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and the portions were very generous.
"You're welcome," Xia Qingqing said a little embarrassedly. The lunchbox wasn't something she gave away for free; everyone had traded it to her with crystal cores. It was a fair exchange, so there was no need to thank her.
But for others, obtaining crystal cores is easy, while getting rice and meat is a very difficult thing.
Of course, as people with superpowers, their lives are already much better than those of ordinary people.
......
After another set of toys was burned by Xiao Chengzi, Xia Qingqing finally couldn't help but slap Gu Cheng's little hand twice: "Don't set fires anymore, do you hear me? If you don't, Auntie will never give you candy again!"
Gu Cheng stared at Xia Qingqing with wide eyes, her dark pupils darting around a couple of times: "I want candy, eat."
Xia Qingqing almost laughed at Xiao Chengzi's adorable appearance. So she only listens to what she wants to hear. Everyone says that children are innocent and harmless, but Xiao Chengzi seems to be quite clever.
“No candy. It’s because Little Orange was naughty. She can’t have any candy today,” Xia Qingqing said seriously, shaking her head.
Gu Cheng pouted and looked to her aunt for comfort: "Waaah, Auntie, hug me."
Xie Yue helplessly spread her hands: "Auntie can't do anything about it. Your aunt has candy, but I don't."
Xia Qingqing blinked, took out two lollipops from the system warehouse, and handed one to Xie Yue: "Only obedient children get candy, disobedient children don't."
Gu Cheng stared at the lollipop in Xia Qingqing's mouth, drool uncontrollably dripping from the corner of his mouth.
He quickly patted his little chest and assured her, "Little Orange, be good~".
"That's more like it. Will Xiao Chengzi still set fires in the future?" Xia Qingqing continued to ask.
Gu Cheng immediately shook his head: "No, darling!"
Xia Qingqing unwrapped a hawthorn lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth. Gu Cheng, who had finally gotten her wish to eat the candy, squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Xia Qingqing's life in the new world has settled down. When she's not on missions, she stays at home with Xie Yue to help take care of the children.
Gu Yunshu and Xie Jing took the opportunity to go out and enjoy some time alone together.
At first, Xie Jing was a little embarrassed, but after getting used to it, he found that life without his daughter causing trouble was incredibly easy.
Ice-type alien successfully leveled up to level 3 after going on several missions with the Sunrise Squad.
Compared to level 2, her power increased dramatically after reaching level 3. She no longer needed Xie Yue's help to kill zombies; she could kill a level 3 zombie on her own.
After a while, she began to get used to the grayish-white brain matter inside the zombie's head and its peculiar stench.
Just when Xia Qingqing thought life would continue like this, she woke up one morning to find herself in a different place.
Looking at the towering tree in front of her, Xia Qingqing initially thought she was dreaming.
She subconsciously pinched the flesh on her arm, and a wave of pain spread through her, forcing her to believe that what she was seeing was real.
"Has it changed to another world?" Xia Qingqing murmured to herself in confusion.
Just as Xia Qingqing was pondering what kind of world this was, a tiger's roar came from afar.
Xia Qingqing's heart tightened, and she subconsciously gathered her supernatural power in her right hand. The slightly cool touch on her hand startled her.
Then came the joy: her superpowers were still there!
