Chapter 47 New Power

A word emerged in Qi He's mind: three evolutions.

But ice powers and poison...is it possible?

Up ahead, Mo Jiayan squatted down and fiddled with Gong Lianyu's motionless body. "How can ice-based abilities be poisonous? You must have just been numb from the cold. Huh...? You're still warm."

Everyone: “…”

Gong Lianyu was filled with grief and indignation: "I'm not dead yet!!!"

Xia Jiu rested his chin on his hand and examined it for a few breaths. "There is indeed a trace amount of toxin, but it is harmless to the human body. It's more like... paralysis?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Yan Chuanbai——

Yan Chuanbai stood beside him with his hands in his pockets. After a few seconds of silence, he said calmly, "It should be the effect of three evolutions."

"Three evolutions!?"

After a chorus of exclamations.

The people surrounding Gong Lianyu turned around and said, "So, you are 4S level!?"

"Why would the Ice type evolve a paralysis effect?"

"Brother Yan! Say something, Brother Yan!"

Meng Yan was shocked and blurted out: "Is this also a mystery of your body!"

The noisy voices fell silent: "?"

Qi He: “…”

system:【……】

The strange wording made Yan Chuanbai glance sideways at Qi He beside him. He then said, "It's just evolved, so it's not clear yet. Let's deal with Gong Lianyu first."

…Handle? Gong Lianyu's eyes widened with tears in her eyes, and she slapped the ground, pat, pat.

Everyone's eyes turned back to him: "How should we deal with this? Is there an antidote?"

"The paralysis will go away on its own, otherwise just leave it alone."

Gong Lianyu: "Woooo ...

Yan Chuanbai stood aside leisurely, without saying a word.

Finally, You Tianxing couldn't bear it any longer and laughed out loud, "Ahahaha!" He called Yu Jiang over and said, "He ate the food secretly and got poisoned. Can your 'Purification' cure the poison?"

Yu Jiang blinked and understood: "Eating alone...will cause poisoning."

She said again: "Yes."

After saying that, he picked up a glass of water and poured it into Gong Lianyu's mouth. Amidst the gurgling sound, the toxins were decomposed bit by bit.

…

Over there, Yu Jiang was watering people.

Qi He stood behind the crowd, his eyes lowered as he pondered: "Theoretically, this isn't quite right. And Yan Chuanbai said that his evolution this time is a little different..."

As he thought about it, he looked at Yan Chuanbai.

Yan Chuanbai noticed something and turned to say:?

Qi He took a step closer, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Anything else?"

Yan Chuanbai turned his head and glanced at his profile: "What?"

"Your three evolutions shouldn't just be ice with poison."

"Yeah." Yan Chuanbai's voice rose at the end. He seemed to understand a little bit and moved closer. He said softly: "Wait until the dinner is over..."

The breath brushed against my cheek, inviting me to penetrate deeper.

Qi He turned towards him.

His eyelashes drooped, his gaze blocked by Yan Chuanbai's tilted face. From the outside, it looked like they were neck-to-neck...

Suddenly, there was a bubbling sound of choking water:

"Whoa! Stop...whoa!"

Qi He turned around and saw Yu Jiang had just withdrawn her gaze from them. She looked at Gong Lianyu lying on the ground in shock. The stream of water pouring into her mouth stopped, and her cheeks flushed. "Sorry."

Gong Lianyu was finally able to move and sat up as if he had been resurrected.

His chin was still dripping with water, and he looked at Yan Chuanbai with resentment: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Yan Chuanbai: "Have a good rest."

Gong Lianyu's expression lightened up a little.

Yan Chuanbai: "When you're done, wipe the floor."

Gong Lianyu: "..."

After he said that, he turned around and continued to prepare the food.

The eyes in the living room were amazed but also took it for granted. Some people even breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, this is Brother Yan." "When he doesn't speak human words, he is much more open and honest."

Qi He retracted his gaze and said to the system: "You see, this is how reputation is built."

【……】

-

Yan Chuanbai is still the same Yan Chuanbai.

This realization made the atmosphere at the dinner more relaxed for everyone except Gong Lianyu.

All the dishes were served on the table and everyone started eating.

Yan Chuanbai sat down next to Qi He.

Qi He had just taken two bites when he heard someone beside him ask, "We've improved the stew today. Which one do you like?"

He took two seconds to react, remembering the last midnight snack: "Each has its merits."

The elements on the table noticed and looked up:?

Yan Chuanbai leaned slightly towards him and asked, "Which one do you like?"

Qi He looked forward and said, "You developed it again."

Yan Chuanbai nodded and said, "Okay."

The others seemed to sense something, and after a second of silence, they began to chat incoherently, their eyes constantly glancing in their direction, as if trying to elicit more information.

Behind the bowl, Yu Jiang showed a pair of bright eyes: "If you don't eat it now, it will get cold... Which one do you like? You once made it for me..."

Her hands trembled: So! Why don’t you get back together?

After a dinner with everyone having their own thoughts.

Everyone sat for a while, and then gradually prepared to leave. Gong Lianyu came back to life, and stood in front of Qi He again. He snapped his fingers and said coolly:

"Let's go~ Lend me some of your strength. Half an hour should be enough for me to rush back to Base II."

Qi He was amazed that he remembered food but not beatings.

…

Wait until everyone leaves and close the door.

Qi He stayed at the entrance and did not leave.

Night has fallen outside the window, the lights in the living room are turned off, leaving only a row of lights on the kitchen counter.

Yan Chuanbai had just finished clearing the plates and dried his hands.

Qi He paused for two seconds and walked up to him: "Can you speak now?"

Bright and soft overhead light falls.

Their shadows intertwined in the aisle behind the kitchen counter. Yan Chuanbai looked at him and suddenly curled his lower lip.

"?"

Before Qi He could react, a touch of itch brushed across his ankle. He opened his eyes slightly, and the next second, his ankle suddenly tightened! With a tug——

The moment he lost his balance, he quickly steadied himself and grabbed the edge of the table!

Yan Chuanbai pressed towards him at the same time.

With his hands on his sides, bang! He looked down and smiled: "Do you understand now?"

Qi He followed his gaze.

In the shadow cast by the two figures, several vines wrapped around his ankles, and he felt a slight numbness. The moment he lowered his eyes, his wrists, which were supporting the table, were quietly restrained.

It was like being trapped between Yan Chuanbai and the cooking counter.

Qi He raised his eyes and looked into Yan Chuanbai's eyes which were so close to him: The other party's three evolutions were not the vertical deepening of the ice ability, but——

"Dual abilities."

Yan Chuanbai smiled happily, "Yeah."

Qi He tried it and found that his fingertips could still move.

Then he used his strength to jolt the vines that bound him away, but soon, new ones clung to him. This feeling wasn't unpleasant; on the contrary, it felt incredibly fresh.

He had already predicted most of Yan Chuanbai's moves, but now, there were more "unknowns" waiting for him.

Yan Chuanbai seemed to understand his expression: "Like?"

The look Qi He gave Yan Chuanbai was like a vine binding his hands, dangerous and tempting.

His throat moved subconsciously: "Hmm."

Yan Chuanbai's eyes grew darker, and the vines tightened a little...

Qi He was immersed in memories again.

Yan Chuanbai's superpower had been suppressed for a long time, so it had been unstable. Perhaps his second superpower had been triggered during the day. Coincidentally, Gong Lianyu was stealing at that time, and he copied the characteristics of both superpowers at the same time.

As for why paralyzing vines evolved...

The previous mutant vine infection, coupled with the three evolutions caused by near-death, happened to collide with each other, and by accident led to the creation of dual superpowers.

——He said that as the “male protagonist”, it was too simple for Yan Chuanbai to just have ice-related abilities.

As I was thinking, I suddenly felt a slight sense of suffocation.

Qi He came to his senses and found that another vine had quietly wrapped around his waist. Yan Chuanbai just stood there in front of him, not knowing whether he was playing or experimenting...

He exhaled and said, "It's too tight, loosen it."

Yan Chuanbai seemed to pause.

Afterwards, the trace amount of toxin on Qi He's skin was absorbed back, and the vines loosened obediently.

Qi He:?

Can the toxins be absorbed back?

He looked at the person and asked, "Why don't you let Gong Lianyu suck it back?"

Yan Chuanbai stood up straight, without any psychological burden: "It's time to teach him a lesson. After all, doesn't he eat everything?"

“…”

Qi He nodded without any psychological burden: "That's right."

The matter of super powers has been clarified.

Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and left.

After exiting the door, the elevator ascended before them. The system finally spoke in a startled voice: […Yan Chuanbai actually has two abilities. Isn't that even more powerful? No, but you're a conceptual type…]

Ding! The elevator door opens.

Qi He walked in and said simply, "We'll know after a fight."

-

The next morning, the sky was bright.

Qi He sat up from the bed.

He pondered for a few seconds, then picked up the Little Genius watch beside him. It snapped back into its original spherical shape and he spun it around in his hand.

The system was tossed around: [What are you doing? Please respect yourself and don't play around with it.]

Qi He said: "Congratulations on overthrowing the main program and becoming completely free."

The system's mouth curled up: [Humph, that's...]

"But after leaving the main program, your remaining energy won't last long."

Click. The system froze: [What should I do?]

"Don't worry, I have a way."

Qi He stroked the round object and said, "When I first removed the crystal core from the flying zombie's brain, I thought that the crystal core, as the energy source of this world, should also be able to provide you with energy and repair your panel at the same time."

The system was stunned for a moment, then became angry: [You, you already knew this! Why did you let me be so mean?!]

Qi He said: "How can I still get stuck with the bug after it's been fixed?"

【……】

The system opened its mouth to curse, but then thought of the shitty main plot and said, "Hmph, forget it."

Qi He stood up and walked towards the desk: "Okay, okay, I'll make it up to you with a new look. What do you like?"

The system was quickly appeased, and Tsundere said: [I want someone more handsome.]

A piece of paper is spread on the table.

Qi He tapped the tip of his pen, thought for a moment, and quickly designed a sketch, folding it up: "I'll go to the research institute later to find You Tianxing to connect you to the energy source, and change the appearance by the way."

The system's vision was blocked by him: [What kind? ]

Qi He had already stood up and said confidently: "The most handsome in the world."

After he finished speaking, he took the system and went to the research institute.

…

Laboratory on the third floor of the institute.

You Tianxing was sitting inside in a white uniform, studying a new instrument, when there was a knock on the door.

Qi He walked in.

His figure overlapped with memories for a moment, and You Tianxing was in a trance: the last time Qi He walked into this place, it was to calm down a big battle...

In just a few steps, Qi He arrived in front.

He withdrew his thoughts: "What's wrong?"

Qi He put the system on the table with a clang: "My Little Genius watch is out of battery."

"..." S-level researcher You Tianxing, "What?"

Qi He said, "I have saved a lot of crystal cores from past missions, and I hope to use them all as its energy supply." On the table, the surface of the spherical ball seemed to flash with a layer of lustrous water light.

He took out the design paper and handed it over: "Change its appearance by the way, it shouldn't cost much materials."

You Tianxing digested it for several seconds and then took it.

He took it in his hand and looked at it. After confirming that it was something he had never seen before, he became interested. "Ah~ No problem, but it might take some time. Can you keep it with me first?"

The system was shocked: [! ]

Qi He sensed it and said to it, "There are no more missions now, you can leave me for a while."

【……】

"You won't and can't leave me?"

The system stiffened its neck: [How, how is this possible! ]

Qi He was relieved: "Then there's no problem."

He handed the system to You Tianxing and was about to leave when the latter suddenly said, "By the way, the training room is still under reconstruction. But there's another room next door, built just for you and Yan Chuanbai. There's no equipment or instruments, and all the materials are made from scratch."

You Tianxing smiled: "You understand what I mean, right?"

Qi He: “…”

He consoled her: "We won't go anywhere else to fight."

You Tianxing regained some of her brightness, "Walk slowly~"

The laboratory door was closed.

Qi He stepped into the hallway. He didn't have any classes today, and the system was temporarily being modified. He was just considering whether to take a mission when his communicator suddenly beeped.

He took it out and saw that it was a message from Yan Chuanbai:

"Training room on the sixth floor."

"Would you like to try my new ability at full power?"

The author has something to say:

Qi He: Fire at full speed!

Yan Chuanbai: Twist, twist, twist, twist…prprpr. [Kiss]

*Qi Qi is the best, Yan Baked Chicken is working hard to catch up

Only the strong are worthy of attracting Qi Qi's full attention [kiss]
