After returning to her room, Xia Qingqing took off her shoes and sat on the bed.
She picked up the clear liquid bottle from the bed, took a deep breath, and then swallowed the medicine in one gulp.
It tasted almost like water and didn't have any other strange flavors, which made Xia Qingqing breathe a sigh of relief.
After drinking the medicine, Xia Qingqing waited for the effects to take hold.
At first, she didn't feel anything was wrong, and even had the mood to take out her tablet and lie on the bed to watch variety shows.
But not long after, just as she was laughing heartily at the variety show, she suddenly felt a slight pain all over her body.
Gradually, the pain intensified, feeling as if countless needles were pricking her entire body, and Xia Qingqing had long since tossed the tablet aside.
She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, biting her lip hard to stop herself from crying out in pain, but she couldn't help but sob.
If Xia Qingqing opened her eyes, she would see that all the meridians in her body were bulging, like small green snakes crawling all over her body.
As time passed, Xia Qingqing's body temperature gradually rose, and her skin turned red.
But she was already numb from the pain, and her consciousness was becoming somewhat unclear.
Before she passed out, Xia Qingqing was still thinking that Sister Yun Shu really hadn't lied to her; activating her superpower was truly damn painful.
Gu Yunshu, who was outside the room, was also keeping an eye on Xia Qingqing's movements, ready to break down the door at any moment if she noticed anything amiss.
At first, she could hear Xia Qingqing groaning in pain, but the sound gradually disappeared, which relieved Gu Yunshu.
Silence means Xia Qingqing is safe; if screams come from the room, then she's truly doomed.
Xia Qing woke up the next day.
She felt lighter than ever before, and the pain she had experienced yesterday seemed like a dream.
Thinking of something, she quickly tried to condense her supernatural power according to the method that Gu Yunshu had taught her.
With a bang, an ice spike shot straight into the wall, but because the energy level was too low, the ice spike only left a tiny mark on the wall.
Xia Qingqing unconsciously smiled: "So it's an ice-type ability, not bad."
Just as she was about to get up to tell Gu Yunshu the good news, she found that her whole body felt sticky, as if she had been soaking in water.
Unable to stand the sticky feeling, Xia Qingqing immediately got up and took a shower.
When she came out of the shower, she heard a knock on the door: "Qingqing, are you up?"
Xia Qingqing, ignoring her still-dripping hair, hurriedly opened the door and excitedly hugged the person standing outside:
"Sister Yunshu, I did it!"
Gu Yunshu knew she had succeeded last night, and was even happier to hear her definite answer: "Congratulations, Qingqing, what kind of ability is it?"
"Ice-type, Sister Yunshu, let me show you!" Xia Qingqing proudly launched an ice spike at the wall.
"Impressive, impressive. But Qingqing, please don't shoot your powers at the walls next time. It's okay now that your power level is low, but once it increases, you'll be able to punch through the walls," Gu Yunshu teased.
Xia Qingqing touched her nose shyly: "Hehe, Sister Yunshu, I know."
Gu Yunshu took out a box from the system's inventory: "These are low-level crystal cores. They can absorb any type of superpower. I'll organize the ice-type crystal cores and give them to you later."
"Thank you, Sister Yunshu," Xia Qingqing said without hesitation, accepting the box with a smile.
Gu Yunshu patted her shoulder: "Okay, go back to your room and dry your hair. Come down and eat when you're done."
After Xia Qingqing returned to her room, she was about to pick up the hairdryer to dry her hair when she suddenly thought of something. Ice and water are from the same source, so could she use her superpower to dry her hair?
With a sudden thought, Xia Qingqing tried to use her supernatural ability to dry the water off her hair little by little.
After about a minute or two, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her hair had become drier. Although it wasn't completely dry, it was still somewhat effective.
However, her ability level was too low. After using her ability for only a minute or two, she felt weak all over.
Fortunately, this isn't a big problem; she can resolve it after cultivating for a while.
Xia Qingqing hummed a cheerful song as she picked up the hairdryer again and slowly began to dry her hair.
"Huh, when did Yueyue get back?" Xia Qingqing raised an eyebrow in surprise when she saw Xie Yue playing with Xiao Chengzi in the living room.
Two days ago, Xie Yue went out on a mission with her team. She didn't expect to be back so soon. She remembered that the last time she went back to Hope Base with Xie Yue and the others, it took two days just to get there.
Xie Yue smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I just got home this morning. I heard from Sister Yun Shu that you successfully activated your superpower. Congratulations."
"Hehe, thanks!" Xia Qingqing was in a very good mood.
Over the next few days, Xia Qingqing became so engrossed in cultivation that she discovered that she had successfully activated her supernatural ability and that her mental strength seemed to have improved again.
If her mental energy could previously be projected 30 meters after diligent cultivation, it can now be projected 50 meters.
Although this was far from enough for a true psychic ability user like Xie Yue, Xia Qingqing was still quite satisfied. A distance of 50 meters was not short, at least she could detect anyone who wanted to ambush her immediately.
Thanks to Xia Qingqing's efforts, her ice-type ability was successfully upgraded to level 2.
Because of Gu Yunshu's reminder, she dared not experiment on the wall anymore, and could only try it on the table. The ice spikes she fired could penetrate a wooden board that was about one finger thick.
Besides the box of transparent crystal cores, Gu Yunshu later gave Xia Qingqing a small box of ice-type crystal cores and water-type crystal cores.
Fortunately, ice-type ability users can absorb water-type crystal cores, otherwise it would be really troublesome. There aren't many zombies with ice-type abilities, so ice-type crystal cores are quite rare.
Gu Yunshu had specifically gone to exchange that small box of ice-type crystal cores with someone else over the past two days.
Xia Qingqing saw and remembered everything Gu Yunshu did for her.
She couldn't stay at home forever waiting for Gu Yunshu to feed her, so after realizing that she couldn't level up to level 3 in a short time, she suggested going out to do missions with Xie Yue.
Gu Yunshu naturally disagreed, as Xia Qingqing's current ability level was too low, and there were many high-level zombies outside.
"Don't worry, Sister Yunshu, I will definitely take good care of myself," Xia Qingqing said, clinging to Gu Yunshu's arm affectionately.
Xie Yue knew this feeling all too well; she had been confined to the house by her brother for many years.
So she subconsciously spoke up for Xia Qingqing: "Sister Yunshu, please let Sister Qingqing go with me. I will protect her well."
