Having arranged all matters within Dawn City, we can finally take a short break.

The exploration of superpowers will have to wait until tomorrow, after breaking through to level three.

It's impossible to go outside and kill zombies at this hour, so let's find some fun!

Huang Zhao's main body arrived at the 100-square-meter small cinema in the rest area.

A huge 200-inch screen hangs on the innermost wall of the room, and two rows of massage chairs with a total of 10 chairs are placed in the middle.

Walking to the side display case, Huang Zhao looked at the neatly arranged game cartridges and didn't know which one to choose.

My eyes were fixed on a cartridge called "Legend of the Monkey God," and I was ready to experience this game that had attracted countless players before the apocalypse!

This is it. It seems to tell the story of a kingdom called Hi-La-Lu that was invaded by an ape god and was eventually destroyed.

Ape God! Activate!

Click on the game portal to enter the kingdom and begin your adventure!

Comfortable air conditioning, a large-screen, high-spec game console, and snacks readily available.

'This is the right way to live after the apocalypse!'

'What a miserable existence I've been these past three days!'

'I'll fucking flatten Hai La Lu!'

Before I knew it, it was 2:30 in the morning. I reluctantly went to bed.

The Monkey God is so much fun!

......

At 7:30 a.m., Huang Zhao was still awakened by his biological clock.

Huang Zhao, finding that she couldn't fall asleep even if she lay down, got up.

I still have things to do today, so I'd better get up.

Despite sleeping for less than five hours, Huang Zhao still felt as energetic as if he had slept for more than ten hours.

'Does a psychic ability user who evolves to an advanced level no longer need to sleep?'

That's definitely something to look forward to!

After washing up and eating breakfast, I manipulated Chen Run to take out today's breakfast:

A delicious meat sauce lasagna, and a cup of holiday fruit wine.

After finishing eating, take out the level 3 energy crystal and begin absorbing it.

'Today, both Chen Run and I can break through to level three!'

He was looking forward to what would happen after reaching level three. The crystal energy in his hand was slowly absorbed into his body and gathered in the crystal in his mind.

About a minute later, Huang Zhao felt a sharp pain in his head, more painful than when he was at level two.

It's still acceptable; I wouldn't scream out loud.

Huang Zhao knew he had successfully broken through to level three. Without stopping the absorption of the crystal, he absorbed another 177 points of energy before stopping, feeling that he was already saturated.

While making this breakthrough, Huang Zhao also mastered two new skills:

[Mental Connection]: Connecting with others' minds through mental power to conduct spiritual dialogue and transmit information.

If the connected party resists, the connection will be interrupted. After the connection is established, it is easier to perceive the other party's emotions.

'It would be great if we could read each other's thoughts after connecting, but unfortunately, we can't. It's not quite as good as mind reading.'

'I'm acting more like a support now, thankfully my second skill has some offensive power.'

[Mental Impact]: Concentrate your mental energy to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's mind, causing intense pain or even mental breakdown!

Unlike mind control, which requires continuously channeling mental energy into the enemy's mind, mental shock is a one-time event. Once released, the mental energy is severed from the body, preventing any backlash.

Huang Zhao was excited. Since mastering [Mental Perception], [Mental Control], and [Mental Transfer], he had not had time to research mental abilities and therefore had not been able to master new skills.

The breakthrough in ability level allows for more precise control over mental energy, leading to the comprehension of new techniques for using mental energy, while also greatly increasing the total amount of ability within the body.

Feeling his mental perception range expand to a radius of about 320 meters after the breakthrough, Huang Zhao was in a great mood.

Located 20 meters underground in the center of Dawn City, Huang Zhao's mental perception has almost covered the entire city of Dawn City!

'At this rate, I won't even need to break through to level four before my mental perception range covers the entire Dawn City!'

Huang Zhao originally planned to delve deeper into his superpowers after breaking through to level three, but the two skills he mastered after the breakthrough saved him a lot of trouble.

Although further research should uncover more techniques, the more important task now is to find a way to prepare the crystals needed for the three of them to break through to level four.

When a Level 4 ability user breaks through, their physical attributes and ability energy undergo a qualitative change.

After the apocalypse, level 1-3 superhumans are considered low-level, level 4-6 are mid-level, level 7-9 are high-level, and level 10 is special-level!

When a human breaks through to a higher realm, they must absorb a higher-level energy crystal that has not yet had its energy absorbed.

This is why Huang Zhao is so eager to obtain the Level 4 energy crystal.

At the current rate, if the three of them were to absorb the two level-three energy crystals at their maximum capacity, they would be completely absorbed in two days.

However, if one only absorbs low-level energy crystals, it takes 2000 points of energy to accumulate to level three:

Huang Zhao needs 15 days, Chen Run needs 23 days, and Qin Yi needs 28 days.

That's way too slow!

Huang Zhao couldn't accept this pace. It took nearly 10 days to break through to the third level by absorbing crystals, which made Huang Zhao extremely anxious.

But this is the fastest speed that can be achieved at this point.

We need to implement the zombie-feeding plan as soon as possible!

While others worry about being devoured after feeding zombies that they evolve, the shelter's lab, designed to trap zombies of level seven or lower with a fleshy build, eliminates that concern!

Regaining his composure, Huang Zhao handed the crystal to Chen Run, instructing him to begin absorbing it.
