Before dawn, Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei left the base.
After a night of adapting, Qu Weiwei was very satisfied with her newly grown arm. The big fragrant meat bun also made her feel that her future life would be particularly promising. She felt more lively than yesterday.
Unexpectedly, getting injured turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Qu Weiwei followed Song Kaiji and kept muttering, "Now I am a little grateful for this injury... Otherwise, with my ability level, it would be difficult for any ability team to accept me."
She and Song Kaiji both awakened their powers relatively late. When they awakened, many of the first batch of awakened superpowers were already at level 2 or 3. They were not from wealthy families with crystal cores to spend lavishly on, so once the gap widened, it would be difficult to catch up.
Now some small and medium-sized teams of superpowers are recruiting people, and the threshold is all level 5! For those with particularly good superpowers, such as thunder, fire, and some rare superpowers, the conditions can be relaxed appropriately.
Qu Weiwei was so depressed that she was about to die. Before the apocalypse, she was facing the situation of graduating and looking for a job. Before the apocalypse, she was restricted by academic qualifications and majors, and after the apocalypse, she was restricted by supernatural power levels. What a terrible luck she had!
She looked around as she muttered. Song Kaiji took her into a seldom visited amusement park: because there were still many large amusement facilities that had not been dismantled, it was not convenient for traffic, and people usually did not take this road when they went out of the base to do missions. "Does this kind of good thing really exist? It's not actually a scam, is it? They kidnapped me to this sparsely populated desolate place and sold me."
Song Kaiji was a little speechless. It was too late to think about this when he was halfway through the journey. "There has to be some fraud..." Song Kaiji glanced at Qu Weiwei's right hand and reminded her, "Ask yourself, what value do you have - oh, you are missing an arm, can you let others squeeze out 400 kilograms of grain?"
"...That's true." Although the words were a bit harsh, they made sense. Thinking of this, Qu Weiwei felt relieved. "What does the boss want? Is it really just because he's nice and has a lot of money?"
Song Kaiji didn't say anything, he didn't quite understand. Yesterday when Qu Weiwei was still unconscious, Shen Qing suddenly asked him a lot of questions: such as how to awaken superpowers, how to improve superpowers, how to register a superpower team, how much supplies are needed to support a superpower team...
Although these issues were not secrets in the end times, Shen Qing did not know the details, and Song Kaiji did not find it strange: Shen Qing was an ordinary person, not a superpower, so it was normal for him not to understand the affairs of superpowers.
Inequality and discrimination exist in every world. In the end times, other gaps have been narrowed, and the gap between ordinary people and people with special abilities is particularly evident. Many people with special abilities look down on ordinary people and are unwilling to reveal information about their special abilities to ordinary people.
Although Song Kaiji was a rookie, he was still a superpower after all. Although he couldn't get high-level information, he still knew these general information. However, Shen Qing's idea of forming a superpower team surprised Song Kaiji.
Based on his previous experience with Shen Qing, Song Kaiji always thought that Shen Qing just wanted to exchange some things in a low-key and unnoticeable way. Because Shen Qing's own wealth was too amazing, and he even seemed to be deliberately hiding from people and exchanging things and running away, he thought Shen Qing would continue to exchange things in this somewhat sneaky way, and then disappear quietly one day - after all, there were so many mysteries about Shen Qing.
Song Kaiji never thought that Shen Qing would want to form a team. Does this mean that Shen Qing plans to settle down in the Hongcheng base?
However, after being surprised, Song Kaiji secretly decided: No matter what Shen Qing's plan was, since Shen Qing was willing to save Qu Weiwei for his sake, he was the one who borrowed money from Shen Qing, and of course he was the one who owed Shen Qing a favor.
Therefore, no matter what Shen Qing's secret was, from then on he would unilaterally tie himself and Shen Qing together like grasshoppers. He would help Shen Qing cover up and hide the secret, and do his best to help Shen Qing fulfill his wish and protect Shen Qing's safety.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the agreed place: the row of shops where Song Kaiji and Shen Qing first met. From a distance, they saw Shen Qing squatting on a stone pier in front of the door, burying his head in sorting something.
When the two met, Shen Qing looked at Qu Weiwei, and Qu Weiwei also looked at Shen Qing in surprise.
Because Song Kaiji always referred to him as "customer" and "boss", in Qu Weiwei's mind, the person who lent them the supplies should be a successful pre-apocalyptic person in his thirties or forties with a successful career, a real big boss. She didn't expect Shen Qing to be so young and looked much younger than her and Song Kaiji!
This, this... Qu Weiwei looked at Shen Qing's temperament and didn't think he was a second-generation rich man. Song Kaiji said that he was not even a psychic, so where did he get so much food?
Qu Weiwei looked at Shen Qing in confusion, then looked at Song Kaiji in confusion: Is he sure?
Song Kaiji cleared his throat and introduced to Qu Weiwei: "This is our future boss, captain, Shen Qing." He reminded her again: "I borrowed supplies from him yesterday to save your arm."
Shen Qing also jumped down from the stone pier and said to Qu Weiwei, "Hello."
Shen Qing plans to train Qu Weiwei.
Since he had come to understand that power comes from force, many things became clearer to him when he looked at the human relationships in the village. Shen Qing also summed up some useful principles:
For example, although most of the force is in the hands of men due to the limitations of their innate conditions, do women and men with low force have no way to fight against them?
Not entirely! To give a recent example: when Shen Zhigao wanted to divorce Miao, didn’t Miao’s two brothers come to his house and try to suppress Shen Zhigao with double the force?
This is assuming that Miao herself is mild-mannered and her family is from another village. If Miao had a temper like Aunt Guixiang and her family was from the same village, wouldn't her brothers beat her wherever she pointed?
This is why the women and boys with many brothers in their natal families in the village are particularly strong in their husbands' families! "My brothers support me" is not just an empty talk at this time. Although her husband is a man and has better martial arts than herself, she also has several strong men in her hands that can be mobilized at any time. If her husband's family dares to touch her, she should think about the possibility of being retaliated by her brothers in her natal family!
Therefore, even many girls and boys, before they get married, agree with the behavior of their families favoring boys over girls and boys, and do not feel that they have been wronged. They will even take the initiative to join in and take care of their brothers with all their heart, all for the sake of a future. Perhaps not everyone can understand the reason, but the truth is this.
The women and men at the bottom of society are like the wild flowers and weeds growing out of cracks in the rocks. No matter how bad the environment is, they will always try their best to find a way to survive within the rules!
Of course, this behavior is not completely risk-free and will definitely succeed. It can be said that the woman and the boy completely pin their future on the character and ability of their brothers from their mother's side. If they treat their brothers well before they get married, but the brothers are ungrateful and unwilling to stand up for them, or are cowardly and timid, and dare not stand up for their brothers and sisters, and they really can't beat them, then the woman and the boy can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
It can be said that "supporting younger brothers" is a relatively successful way for women and boys who generally do not have much power to indirectly gain power in the current power rules. Relying on blood ties, brothers in the family are the only investment targets they have no choice but to have.
What if you don't have brothers, or your brothers don't want to work for you? Then give birth to one yourself! And there is also a layer of filial piety in this, biological children are easier to use than brothers from other families. This is also the reason why many women and men are very keen on having boys. Is it to give birth to boys to continue the family line for the husband's family? Yes, but it is also the basis for women and men to hold power!
But Shen Qing is different.
Shen Qing is one of the best fighters in the village, but it is different in the end times. If it is just a fight, Shen Qing is no worse than anyone else, but the emergence of superpowers has greatly widened the gap between people. Shen Qing asked Song Kaiji, holding a glimmer of fantasy: If he can awaken a superpower, even if it is just a useless superpower, as long as he is willing to spend money, many of his predicaments can be solved.
But even Song Kaiji didn't know how superpowers were awakened. The first and second batches of people who awakened superpowers were concentrated in a period of time. What they had eaten and done before was not very different. The research institute had also studied it, hoping to find out the rules to help most humans activate their superpowers, but in the end there was no result.
After that, there was no more mass awakening of superpowers. Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei both awakened their superpowers by chance. In the final analysis, it might just be luck.
Shen Qing was a little disappointed, but he quickly accepted it. He thought of the zombie that didn't attack him that day: During this period, he had learned from Song Kaiji that zombies in this world don't have any priority in attacking a certain person. Zombies are zombies, and everything in their lives will not affect their movements at all. Whether it's an enemy or a stranger, zombies will bite the person closest to them first.
This made Shen Qing more certain that he would not be attacked by zombies: he and the people in this world might have been different from the beginning. So it was of course very lucky to be able to awaken his superpowers, but it was also very normal not to be able to awaken his superpowers.
However, the emergence of superpowers makes this world a little different from the village: military force is no longer determined by innate conditions, but is mainly in the hands of men.
The awakening of superpowers is random regardless of gender, and the speed of cultivation and upgrading has little to do with gender or even physical fitness. Superpowers seem to be another brand new track, reshuffling the world: the most powerful superpower in the Rainbow City base is a woman.
Let's not talk about the distant past, just talking about the two people in front of Shen Qing. Shen Qing is naturally more familiar and closer to Song Kaiji. Logically, Shen Qing should first cultivate Song Kaiji: But he asked yesterday that Song Kaiji's space must be upgraded to level five before he can use the offensive special move space blade. Song Kaiji is currently only level two, and then upgrade to level three and level four. There is no other change except that the space area becomes larger.
But Qu Weiwei was different. Having reached the third level of the Wood Element on the farm, she could grow rolling pin-thick vines from her fingertips, which she could use to pierce the eye sockets and brains of zombies—and even humans!
Although the endurance is not strong at present, and you need to rest for half an hour after using it for ten minutes, as long as you continue to cultivate it, these vines will become thicker and more flexible, and the time they can be used will also be longer and longer. Even after the wood power reaches the sixth level, the vines will no longer be limited to the fingertips, and can come out from anywhere according to Qu Weiwei's wishes and attack the opponent.
Although in the early stages, the attack power of superpowers may vary, but as long as they are cultivated to the extreme, any superpower can produce a top master!
Shen Qing looked at Qu Weiwei with a smile. The awakened Qu Weiwei was even more lively and beautiful than when she was unconscious, and her eyes revealed a similar clarity to Song Kaiji. She seemed a little restrained in front of Shen Qing, and said with restrained hands and feet: "Thank you for lending me supplies and helping me regenerate my right hand. I will definitely repay you in the future. I, I, that... I will definitely repay you in the future!"
How embarrassing! Qu Weiwei banged her head against the wall in her heart. This was a good opportunity to show her loyalty, but she was so nervous that she couldn't even say a word!
To indirectly possess force, does one have to rely on blood ties? The grace of reattaching a broken limb is not much different from saving a life, isn't that enough? If he treats Qu Weiwei with the means of "supporting his brother", treats her wholeheartedly, takes care of her, supports her, constantly feeds her resources, and builds a deep relationship with her, can he indirectly obtain Qu Weiwei's force, just like the Miao family has the force of Miao Xing and Miao Wang?
Shen Qing gave Qu Weiwei a bright smile and handed her the basket at his feet: "The doctor said that you need to supplement your nutrition and protein in the next few days. Take this basket of eggs first, and tell me if it's not enough."
