Li Xin'er took the purified crystal core directly to the villa next door and called over Sister Xia, who didn't yet have any superpowers, and Master Sun.

When Sister Xia came in, Wenwen and Ranran, who were playing, naturally followed her into the living room.

When Li Xin'er called them here, Sister Xia and Master Sun were both a little confused. Sister Xia spoke first.

"Xin'er, what's wrong?"

Li Xin'er spoke frankly, "I just helped Qian Leduo awaken his superpower, and I think it would be better if you guys also had a superpower for self-protection..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sister Xia exclaimed in surprise.

"Awakening superpowers?"

Good heavens, what kind of fantasy is this? This is something she's been dreaming about all her life, and Xin'er just casually said it out loud?

Mr. Sun, sitting next to him, was in no better shape; his hands were trembling uncontrollably as he sat there.

There was excitement, but also trepidation and nervousness. At his age, could he really have superpowers?

Ranran, who was standing next to her, didn't understand what they meant, but seeing that the three adults all looked serious and were talking about important matters, she obediently didn't disturb them at this time.

Instead, she turned her head to look at Wenwen beside her, her big round eyes filled with doubt.

Sister Wenwen, what are they saying?

Wenwen naturally understood what Li Xin'er meant by superpower, and she raised her hand to pat Ranran's hand reassuringly.

He was being told to listen carefully, and he would find out soon enough.

At this moment, Xiao Qing, who was wrapped around Wenwen's wrist, was also chatting with Wenwen in her mind.

"The boss also awakened their superpowers."

Xiaoqing has leveled up, its intelligence has increased, and its speech has become much clearer.

Wenwen calmly replied, "My sister is very kind to everyone."

In other words, it's not surprising that they would be willing to awaken their superpowers.

Xiaoqing was a little puzzled, "Aren't you afraid they'll betray you?"

Wenwen secretly pinched Xiaoqing's tail and said confidently:

"No, Aunt Xia and the others are all good people."

"That's not necessarily true; good people can sometimes turn bad."

Wenwen remained steadfast in her beliefs and persisted in her rebuttal.

"I said I wouldn't, and I won't. Besides, my sister is amazing, so I'm not afraid."

Xiaoqing realized that if she continued talking, Wenwen might get upset, so she wisely ended the conversation, only weakly muttering a complaint.

"Well, humans are really strange and complicated."

Li Xin'er, standing beside her, reiterated her condition: to go first.

"I won't favor one over the other. You all have a thousand Level 1 crystal cores and five years of loyalty. Don't rush to collect the crystal cores. Give them to me whenever you want."

A thousand crystal cores in exchange for awakened superpowers—that's already an incredibly low price, a double discount. Even if Sister Xia and Master Sun didn't fully understand the specific value of the crystal cores, they were still quite clear about it.

"I'm willing. Let alone a thousand crystal cores, even ten thousand, I'd like to try."

Xia nodded decisively without hesitation. As she said this, she touched Ranran beside her, as if to give herself confidence.

Even if it's just for her son, to give him a better chance to survive in the apocalypse, she will do everything she can to seize this opportunity to awaken her superpowers.

Li Xin'er smiled slightly, her relaxed tone lightening the tense atmosphere.

“For outsiders, I would definitely start with at least 10,000 crystal cores, but for you, 1,000 is enough.”

Master Sun followed up by asking the question that had been troubling him the most.

"I...I'm at an age, I don't know if I'm still capable?"

Li Xin'er had also considered this issue, since the previous awakenings had all been for young people, and she had never actually done it for the elderly or children.

To be frank, Li Xin'er told him the truth upfront.

"I haven't helped the elderly or children awaken yet, and I'm not sure if there are any other different side effects."

As she spoke, she looked at Sister Xia, then at Ranran beside her; these words were also addressed to Sister Xia.

“I’m not 100% sure about awakening. There’s definitely an element of gambling involved. I can only say that I haven’t made a mistake yet. You can consider whether you’re willing to give it a try.”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Xia Jie's face; she was terrified that Li Xin'er wouldn't allow them to awaken their powers.

He quickly replied, "I'm willing to try. It's okay. Even if it doesn't work out, or something else, I can accept it."

"only······"

As she spoke, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, she pulled Ranran closer to her and looked earnestly at Li Xin'er:

"If anything happens to me, Xin'er, could you please take care of Ranran for me?"

Ranran, who was standing next to her, seemed to sense the sorrow emanating from her mother and tugged at her sleeve anxiously.

"Mother?"

Sister Xia was still waiting for Li Xin'er's reply. She reached out and patted Ranran's back, but did not reply for the time being.

Li Xin'er glanced at Ranran. She knew that even if Sister Xia didn't ask her for help, if something really happened to Sister Xia, she couldn't just leave Ranran alone. She would find him a good place, find his father, and give him a home.

Li Xin'er nodded. "Okay, I promise you."

With her reply, Sister Xia instantly relaxed. Without any worries, she became fearless.

Sister Xia's eyes were already red as she sincerely said to Li Xin'er,

"Xin'er, thank you."

Li Xin'er didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Master Sun next to her, waiting for his answer.

Master Sun had come to terms with it by now, and said with a smile:

"I'll give it a try. I'm an old man, and if I don't try, this is what I'll be like. If I succeed, I might be able to go out and kill a couple more zombies, just like when I used to kill those little devils. Killing one is no loss, killing two is a bonus!"
