Chapter 64 Even if she can't, she'll become able to...

Before dealing with the pheasant, Sheng Hui first helped Da Hei remove the vines from its body. Although Da Hei had bitten off the vines and even bit off the crystal core, the vines wrapped around Da Hei's body were still very tight and had grown many sharp thorns. When Sheng Hui pulled them, Da Hei trembled in pain.

"No, you can't cut the vines with ordinary scissors."

The scissors in Sheng Hui's hand were the ones she put into her storage ring when she was looking for supplies.

She didn't find much food or drink, but she took quite a lot of miscellaneous items.

Obviously, they were useless; several pairs of scissors were worn out, and the vines only suffered minor superficial injuries.

These were dead vines; if they were alive, Sheng Hui estimated that she would be entangled in them.

Even in death, this mutated plant was extraordinary. It even dulled the blade of the kitchen knife that Sheng Hui had picked up, and the thorns pierced even deeper. Big Black even whimpered twice, but its fur was black, so the bleeding was not clearly visible. When Sheng Hui touched it, his hand was covered in blood.

Xiang Bei exchanged a military dagger for Sheng Hui from the trading mall and tossed it over. This dagger was a product of the system's hometown, and it was said to be the cheapest thing there, requiring only one point to exchange for two daggers.

Xiang Bei traded another dagger for a pair of scissors from the system's hometown.

It's much easier to cut the vines with this dagger.

It can cut iron like mud, and it can also cut vines with ease.

Sheng Hui also helped Dahei pick out the thorns and applied the medicine Xiang Bei gave it to Dahei.

Dahei's fur was very long, especially the front, which covered its eyes. Sheng Hui trimmed the fur covering Dahei's eyes and combed its fur with a small comb from her storage ring.

Some parts were already knotted. Sheng Hui would comb them out if she could, and if she couldn't, she would use scissors to trim them.

I groomed Big Black a bit, and it looks kind of cute.

It wasn't as imposing as it seemed at first glance, but even the cutest creature isn't to be trifled with when it comes to this behemoth.

Sheng Hui was so tired that she sat down to rest for a while. She found that her physical strength was still not good. She would start to feel dizzy and lightheaded if she was even slightly tired.

After taking care of Dahei and resting for a while, Sheng Hui went to deal with the pheasant.

With a dagger and scissors, plus Xiang Bei's remote command, the situation became much easier to handle.

Such a big pheasant, one would probably not be enough for Dahei, but it would be enough for Shenghui to eat for several days.

After digging out the crystal core, Sheng Hui only made half a chicken.

They roasted it over a fire on the spot.

She didn't eat much to begin with, and after a few bites of the chicken leg, she was too full to eat anymore, so she gave the rest to Big Black.

Big Black was very happy with its meal.

After finishing their meal, Sheng Hui disposed of the food but didn't dare to go up the mountain rashly, since no one knew what the situation was like in the mountains.

Big Black is quite strong; it was injured like this even after encountering those vines.

Sheng Hui won't easily go to unknown places until she figures out how she took down Da Hei.

After wandering around with Dahei, we discovered quite a few mutated plants.

Sheng Hui carefully avoided them all.

With Xiang Bei before and now a big black guy, Sheng Hui feels a great sense of security.

Big Black is very well-behaved, at least in front of her.

"Looks like I'm still quite popular with small animals," Sheng Hui joked to herself.

Big Black seemed to understand and obediently stayed by her side.

This area is a tourist attraction, and there are no residents nearby. It's only crowded during holidays.

But now it's the apocalypse, and nobody comes here, not even zombies.

Looking at the mutated plants around her, Sheng Hui decided to train herself. She picked out a mutated plant and started fighting it with the dagger Xiang Bei had given her.

She told Xiang Bei to leave her alone for the time being. Thinking about the power she had suddenly unleashed earlier, Sheng Hui wanted to put herself in a dangerous situation so she could regain that feeling.

Sheng Hui fought with the mutated plant, trying to dodge, but unexpectedly, the plant's branches wrapped around her legs and hands, dragging her into the air, as if it were about to strangle her.

Big Black roared and charged forward. Sheng Hui quickly said, "Big Black, don't worry about me, quickly get away."

But it was too late; Big Black was also strangled and hoisted up by the branches.

Fortunately, Big Black was huge, and it took a lot of effort to lift him up.

Sheng Hui struggled until she was covered in sweat, and the branch was so tight around her waist that she could barely breathe.

The green crystal core in her hand had disappeared without her noticing. Sheng Hui pulled hard on the branch, but she couldn't recapture that feeling from before.

She felt her strength waning, and without asking Xiang Bei for help, she twisted her wrist and cut off the branches.

With my hands free, everything else will be easier.

As Sheng Hui chopped off the waving branches in front of her, her eyes quickly found the vital point of the mutated plant, and she stabbed it with her dagger, quickly digging out the crystal core.

The mutated plant immediately lost its strength and collapsed limply.

Sheng Hui rescued Da Hei, which took quite a bit of effort.

Big Black was hanging in mid-air, and because of its large size, it could only be lowered down slowly.

Sheng Hui felt this was a good place to train herself. Although she wanted to find her parents, she didn't have the strength to do so. Even if she found them, she wouldn't be able to protect them. So she chose to stay and improve herself.

There was a visitor center at the foot of the mountain, and the door wasn't even locked. Sheng Hui went straight in and checked in. Her bedding and other belongings were already in her storage ring.

I rested in the house for one night.

Before going to bed, I chatted with Xiang Bei. Actually, she couldn't quite explain what she felt when facing Da Hei. She only remembered feeling extremely tired afterwards.

Xiang Bei also felt that this power was unusual. The system did not know the source, but it could see that Da Hei was in great pain at the time and had been directly attacked in the brain.

"Could it be a psychic ability user?" Xiang Bei stroked her chin and analyzed with the system.

The system switches to a frequency division, and the data on it flashes continuously.

Mental ability users have also appeared in post-apocalyptic novels. To put it simply, they have very strong mental power. If they have enough mental power, the most powerful thing is that they can kill someone invisibly with just a thought.

"Host, based on the information I can find, the mental power of psychic ability users is very powerful. When the energy reaches a certain level, they can even control others to use for their own purposes."

Looking at the data, Xiang Bei said, "I think Sheng Hui's situation is definitely different. She shouldn't just be a simple mental ability user. Tongzi, don't forget, she can also transfer abilities to the male lead, allowing him to enhance his abilities without using a crystal core."

The original text never mentioned this matter, but words are words and reality is reality. Some things are only mentioned briefly in the original text, but if we really want to explore the things that are derived from the novel, there is still a certain logic to them.

Even if it's a coincidence, we should know how it happened.

The system also analyzed the situation, saying, "Host, I consulted some veteran employees of the Quick Transmigration Bureau. In cases like the female protagonist's, it's highly likely that the original author gave her a cheat code, but it wasn't described in detail. So when the small world was created, these strange powers appeared on the female protagonist to make it more reasonable to the original description."

Xiang Bei rested her chin on her hand, looking at the things that the system's predecessors had sent over.

Sheng Hui's superpower can only be described as close to a mental superpower, but whether this superpower was detected or not, and in order to fit the setting in the book, a series of situations arose.

"Never mind, since it's already appeared, we should use it. As for the other abilities, we can discover them slowly later."

Xiang Bei reiterated that since it wasn't explicitly described, this power wouldn't only be available to the male protagonist. Sheng Hui was the female protagonist of this story, and she could give power to whomever she wanted.

In her world, only her word counts.

Sheng Hui was unaware of this matter; she simply wanted to make good use of her special abilities, as she felt the power she had unleashed that day was very important to her.

She needs to rediscover that power and be able to successfully control it, instead of it working intermittently and leaving her feeling completely insecure.

Sheng Hui stayed on the mountain, fighting against a mutated plant every day.

Through her observations, she discovered that mutated plants also engage in combat; nearby mutated plants would fight each other, and only the most powerful mutated plants would survive.

After several such incidents, Sheng Hui always returned to the visitor center covered in wounds.

She was almost eaten by the mutated plant, but Xiang Bei saved her.

Sheng Hui refused Xiang Bei's help and climbed back to the visitor center by herself, where she treated her own wounds.

She didn't find the strength, but she did improve her agility.

It will also leave some time to spar with Big Black. Big Black is very fast, so it's impossible for it to catch up with or surpass Big Black, but its running speed has obviously improved.

Over time, Sheng Hui also absorbed a lot of the crystal cores of the mutated plants.

With even better luck, you might catch some mutated animals, making it easy to get meat.

Sheng Hui vaguely sensed changes in her body.

She also discovered that Dahei had started to improve his superpowers, and inexplicably, his superpowers improved in a way that was very similar to Yan Ji's.

She could also feel that Dahei was running faster. When they encountered tough beasts, Sheng Hui was obviously not fast enough to outrun them. Dahei would just pick her up and run away as fast as lightning.

They could even sense supernatural energy fluctuations emanating from Dahei.

When she went to sleep at night, Big Black would block the doorway, and she could sense its location even with her eyes closed.

She could even tell when Big Black's tail swayed a few times.

To verify that she hadn't given the wrong information, Sheng Hui conducted a special test. She found that if she was too far away when Dahei was enhancing his abilities, the enhancement would fail.

She even made Dahei run around. To put it bluntly, Dahei disappeared in a flash and then came back in a flash. She only saw a blur.

"Beibei, the day you told me to stay away, was it because you discovered that Yan Jin's ability to enhance his superpowers was related to me?" Sheng Hui asked, looking at Dahei.

Yes, but at that time I only suspected it, I couldn't be completely sure. I still don't understand the reason, it shouldn't be related to using your blood. They all drank your blood, but only Yan Ji was able to break free from the crystal core and enhance his abilities.

At first, Xiang Bei thought that Yan Ji was the male lead, so that was probably how the original story was set up.

Or perhaps it's because Sheng Hui and Yan Ji had close contact that Yan Ji is different from the other members of the team.

Regardless of the reason, Sheng Hui does indeed have the ability to enhance other people's supernatural abilities.

Now that Dahei is close to Shenghui, he can also enhance his superpowers. There must be some connection between them.

Xiang Bei was pleased with this discovery. The fact that Dahei could also enhance his abilities meant that Sheng Hui's abilities were indeed unrestrained, and her previous guess was correct.

Even if it can only be provided to Yan Ji, it doesn't matter much. If we can send it to him, we can get it back from that bastard.

Sheng Hui was also very happy. Although she had not yet fully mastered her superpower, this discovery gave her an extra layer of protection.

Looking at her clothes, torn to shreds by the mutated plants, she went to change. Luckily, she had brought enough clothes; fighting those mutated plants really wore out her clothes.

After resting for a while on the open ground in front of the visitor center, Sheng Hui took out some meat and put it on the fire to roast, skillfully turning the stick in her hand to make sure it wouldn't burn.

I also pondered the reason for Dahei's improved abilities.

"Could it be because I consider Dahei as family?"

Because she has chosen someone, and because she is by Dahei's side, she has the ability to enhance people's superpowers.

Crucially important is her perception of others.

Xiang Bei felt that Sheng Hui's analysis made sense, after all, she was the one who provided the superpower, and Sheng Hui was naturally more aware of her own feelings.

The other members of that superpowered team were sarcastic and mocking towards her, and Li Lulu would occasionally frame her. It would be strange if Sheng Hui had any feelings for the others.

But Yan Ji is different. He is Sheng Hui's boyfriend and the only person she can rely on in the apocalypse. Therefore, Sheng Hui trusts him and treats him differently.

[That makes sense. Only people or animals you respect can enhance your supernatural abilities when they're around you.]

Both sides fell silent.

However, it's impossible to be 100% certain that it's a black mark.

Xiang Bei also offered other suggestions.

【Why don't you try to subdue the mutated plant? See if you can use it for your own purposes. Anyway, it has superpowers, probably the same as human superpowered individuals, which will save you the trouble of finding someone to experiment on.】

The main problem is that there are too many unstable factors among people with superpowers.

Sheng Hui's blood can prevent the zombie virus, and now she can also enhance other people's superpowers. Even a little bit of it would drive people crazy.

Looking at her hands, Sheng Hui didn't forget to flip the meat on the grill.

"Actually, it's not a big deal to help people with superpowers improve their abilities. What I'm thinking is that if my ability can also help ordinary people improve their abilities, that would be a real help to everyone."

If you want to, you can do it.

As the female lead and the absolute protagonist of the small world, there is nothing she cannot accomplish.

Sheng Hui looked at the words floating in front of her and didn't think Xiang Bei was exaggerating. On the contrary, she was very happy with Xiang Bei's encouragement.

"I will definitely work hard."

So what if the improvement is slow, as long as it's useful.

If she really has this ability, and uses it well, it will be a good thing for her.

That way, even if her parents are ordinary people, she won't be afraid of not being able to protect them.

Sheng Hui and Da Hei went up the mountain after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

She closed her eyes and felt it for a moment, then suddenly opened them, her eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of surprise.

"Beibei, do you know what? I just sensed some strange energy fluctuations on the mountain."

She had been here a few times and noticed energy fluctuations in several places, where several mutated plants were located.

There were also some supernatural energy fluctuations while they were moving, which should be mutated animals.

This development greatly boosted Shenghui's confidence.

She tried to control those fluctuating supernatural powers, and although she failed, she was not discouraged at all.

She picked out a vine on the mountain, thinking that if this mutated plant was used properly, it could be a deadly weapon. However, she ended up injured all over and didn't succeed; the vine was very wary.

She couldn't fully control the vines, and when the vines strangled her neck, the power that had attacked Dahei last time surged from Sheng Hui's body once again.

This time, however, the explosive force was even stronger, shattering the vines into pieces.

This time I didn't feel dizzy, but my face was still very pale.

Big Black nimbly pounced over, snatched a bright green crystal core, and placed it in Sheng Hui's hand.

The crystal core disappeared as soon as it reached Sheng Hui's palm, having been absorbed by her unconsciously.

After drinking a bottle of glucose, Sheng Hui threw the empty bottle into the air, and the bottle disappeared.

I've recovered completely, much faster than last time.

Sheng Hui then selected a mutated dodder seed.

This seemingly delicate plant is actually the most unique.

Elegant yet fierce, in the public's impression, dodder is so weak that it can only survive by clinging to and parasitizing other plants. Many people even use dodder to describe a weak woman.

This is the biggest misunderstanding about this plant.

Dodder is a highly invasive parasitic plant that is very selective about its host plants, preferring to have none rather than accept inferior ones.

Once it finds a suitable host, it will continue to absorb the host's nutrients until the host dies. It is entwined with the host, seemingly weak but actually ruthless and murderous.

Unexpectedly, the dodder entwined itself around Sheng Hui, its tentacles piercing her wrist. After sucking a mouthful of Sheng Hui's blood, it actually softened. Then, the tentacles carefully retracted, and its leaves trembled as they touched Sheng Hui, seemingly out of fear.

Sheng Hui tried to get close to the mutated dodder. The dodder was able to detach from the soil, shrink in size, and wrap around her wrist. If you didn't look closely, it looked like a green bracelet with many loops.

Dahei immediately became angry and roared at Sheng Hui's hand.

"Big Black, Big Black, stop barking, or you'll call the zombies over." Sheng Hui quickly calmed Big Black down.

Looking at the dodder on her wrist, Sheng Hui looked at Da Hei. If the dodder could shrink, could Da Hei also shrink and then turn back to its original size during battle?

You could talk to Big Black; it's very smart, you could discuss it with it.

Sheng Hui talked to Da Hei for a long time, but Da Hei seemed not to understand, and finally simply turned its back to Sheng Hui.

"Alright, alright, if it can't be changed, it's fine. I like you the way you are."

Suddenly, the dodder tightened around Sheng Hui's wrist. Sheng Hui touched her wrist helplessly, "I like you very much too, but it hurts me to be so tight."

The dodder chose Sheng Hui because it probably needed Sheng Hui to provide it with power. And coincidentally, while Sheng Hui may not be good at other things, it can provide power to people or animals and plants.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

But things have gotten a little awkward now.

Sheng Hui comforted one person and then the other, finally managing to calm both sides down.

They even gave the dodder a name: Sisi.

When Sheng Hui woke up the next morning, she found that Dahei was missing. She searched everywhere but couldn't find Dahei.

Hearing a commotion outside, Sheng Hui carefully moved over, clutching her dagger. Just as she was about to check the nearby energy fluctuations, she discovered that a small black dog had run out and pounced directly into her arms.

This is a much smaller version of the big black dog.

"Dahei, have you really shrunk?" Sheng Hui looked at Dahei with some surprise.

Dahei jumped right into Sheng Hui's arms and rubbed against her.

Try again and see if you can control the plants and animals around you.

Sheng Hui understood Xiang Bei's meaning. Since she could give others superpowers, she could naturally control other people's superpowers as well.

If her superpower could really control other people's superpowers, Sheng Hui's breathing became rapid at the thought of this possibility.

If that's really the case, she won't have to worry about others knowing about her special constitution. If people with superpowers want to capture her, she can completely turn the tables and control them to do her bidding.

This discovery greatly excited Sheng Hui.

"Beibei, do you think our guess is really possible?"

If you dare to dream it, you can definitely achieve it.

The female lead's identity is meant to break those constraints.

If you can influence those close to you, you can also influence strangers.

If you can control the superpowers around you, you can control all superpowers.

With a little more effort, maybe we can even control the zombies.

Sheng Hui listened to Xiang Bei's description and felt very excited. If it were really possible, she could set off to find her parents.

Sheng Hui had previously worried that it wouldn't be convenient for an ordinary person like herself to go to the base. Although Bei Bei was there to help her, she was afraid that if her parents were also ordinary people, they wouldn't be able to survive so easily.

She can resist the zombie virus infection, but the people in the base are not easy to fool; her ordinary identity cannot be hidden for long.

Now she has completely new hope and is full of energy.

She is also a superhuman, a superhuman who can control all superpowers.

Sheng Hui firmly believed this.

Even if she can't, she will make herself able to.

Only by becoming stronger can she protect her parents. Otherwise, even if she finds them, she won't be able to protect them. In that case, it will depend on the attitude of those superhumans.

Along the way, Sheng Hui herself has come to realize that some superpowered individuals are indeed very righteous and will protect ordinary people without superpowers, but there are also quite a few superpowered individuals who bully ordinary people after gaining superpowers.

There are currently no rules or regulations to restrain people with superpowers. Some people with superpowers use ordinary people as slaves, and some even throw ordinary people into hordes of zombies so that they can escape.

Sheng Hui put aside her distracting thoughts and focused on how to control other people's superpowers.

She only had Dahei and Sisi by her side. Sheng Hui would experiment, but she would not harm them.

She'll mostly go up the mountain to find other mutated plants and animals for experiments. If that doesn't work, with Dahei and Sisi around, she won't be in too much danger.

After absorbing another portion of the crystal cores, Sheng Hui realized that their approach was correct; she could sense an even wider range of supernatural energy fluctuations around her.

She pressed her hand to her chest, somewhat excitedly, "Beibei, our idea was right."

Then let's work towards that goal.

Sheng Hui nodded repeatedly.

She knew now was not the time to get excited, but to take this opportunity to quickly master the use of this special ability.

She made Big Black run, and then used her special ability to see just how big the range was.

The conclusion was that there were no problems within a five-kilometer radius.

It could also be because Dahei and she are very close, but in any case, Sheng Hui can sense it very clearly.

You can also see Sisi's superpowers. Compared to Dahei, Sisi's superpowers are weaker, but they are still much stronger than at the beginning.

Sheng Hui closed her eyes, and Da Hei, who was lying next to her, suddenly stood up, walked out the door, circled around, and then lay back down.

Throughout this process, Dahei did not resist at all, and is still sleeping soundly now.

Sheng Hui knew she had taken the first step toward success.

She could even manipulate the silk threads to detach from her wrists and then wrap them around herself again.

Sisi didn't react at all during this process.

She could also sense other supernatural energy fluctuations in the mountains, which were probably mutated plants and animals fighting.
