Chapter 140 Choosing a Superpower
This is the world where Youxi has stayed the longest among all the mission worlds.
For ten years, she was trapped in a small world, doing almost the same thing every day, which was also a way to polish her character.
The sedimentation of her character made her originally calm temperament even more calm. When she saw her biological parents again, she was a little dazed and even felt a little unaccustomed to the feeling of stepping on the ground.
The home of the simulated apartment was familiar and strange.
She lay on the bed in her room without sleeping that night. In the early morning, she got up and went to the living room to wait for the sunrise.
The French window reflected her appearance, and she was still very young. After all, it has only been more than half a year since the Star House appeared in the apartment and tied her to it. She is still the 26-year-old Youxi.
But she was no longer the 26-year-old You Xi.
It was like watching a long movie and falling into a deep dream. She was a little uncomfortable and missed You Zhenzhen and the friends who worked hard with her in the fragmented world.
So she planned to spend some time to adjust, and collect the memories of the storm world in her familiar home in the native world.
...
One day later, she opened the Star House Mall.
1580 star coins sounded like a lot, but it was actually very little.
Ice Control, Werewolf Bloodline, and Plant Affinity were 200, 500, and 800 star coins respectively. According to the completely different functions caused by the price difference of the products in the Star House Mall, the practicality of the most expensive plant affinity must be far greater than ice control.
It is possible that the star coins will reach 1600 this time, which can be used to purchase plant affinity and enter the planet house for the third upgrade.
Now she can only choose one. Because of the system tower, she must give priority to purchasing superpowers. If the next apocalyptic world is unlucky and cannot be connected to the fragment world, with her current ability, it may be a bit dangerous. After all,
the opponent often throws a high-difficulty fragment world to merge and forcibly increase the difficulty of the world. No matter how strong she is, she can't be stronger than the whole world...
"Tongbao, before I spend money, can you introduce the two superpowers of plant affinity and ice control respectively?" She tried to keep her tone gentle.
She didn't have enough money to buy both the plant ability and the upgraded Star House at the same time, but the ice control only cost 200 star coins. Even if she bought both at the same time, she would still have more star coins to spare.
[… Both abilities require 24 hours of implantation and a ten-day recovery period.]
"No problem, I have a month."
[The ice control ability mainly involves three aspects of ability: shaping, control, and temperature.]
You Xi didn't know that she originally needed to practice and comprehend these after purchasing them, but now that the Star House system has started to talk about it, she has no intention of only talking about half of it.
[Shaping refers to controlling ice to form different shapes. For example, if you make ice blades and ice swords, they may have limited lethality when used, but when your ability is improved, you can make ice arrows and ice spears with bows, which will definitely have higher lethality than the former. In addition to offensive shaping, there are also defensive ice shields and ice walls, which require different abilities. ]
"What about ice tanks and ice planes?"
[...Host, if you can make all the ice parts of tanks and planes one-to-one, this is not completely impossible. ]
"..."
[Control mainly refers to the control range. For example, the proficiency and ability required to freely control an ice blade within a diameter of one meter and to freely control both within a diameter of ten meters are definitely different. Or if you want to control a box to freeze and control a room to freeze, the ability required is also different. 】
【Temperature refers to the temperature of the ice itself. Ice at 0 degrees Celsius and ice at -50 degrees Celsius have different hardness, different melting times, and different damage effects. 】
The Star House System was too detailed, so detailed that it was far beyond her expectations: "It sounds like the ice control ability is very powerful, why does it only cost 200 star coins?"
【Because there is a fatal flaw. Ice control cannot create ice out of thin air. It must have water, and sometimes a lot of water is needed. In addition, ice control is not the same as water control. Before water is converted into ice through the ability, it cannot be used at all. The ability will appear relatively weak in the early stage, and it takes a long time of repeated practice to slowly improve. 】
"The water molecules in the air, and the blood in the human body..."
【That all falls under the category of water control. The prerequisite for this ability is to fight near water, or to prepare a large amount of water. 】
Youxi understood, which means that if a person who has learned this ability happens to be in a desert or a land without rivers, lakes or seas around him, and there is not enough water in the space, he will only be beaten, and the ability is equivalent to learning in vain.
Even if she has 512 cubic meters, it is impossible to put a large amount of water in it, because water takes up a lot of space.
However, the metal ice that was stored in the acid rain world before, a small bottle has 500L of water after release, if it is accidentally fought in a waterless environment, it can be helpful.
【Plant affinity abilities are mainly divided into control and communication. 】
【As for the aspect of control, if the host has read novels related to plant abilities, they should understand, that is, shortening the growth cycle, catalyzing mutations, carrying combat, etc. 】
【Communication mainly acts on information. Most of the world has plants, and all plants have their own communication system. Humans cannot understand the language of plants, but this ability will allow humans to assimilate with plants in some ways. What you can't see with your eyes, you can see through plants, and what you can't hear with your ears, you can hear through plants. They will become your information network, and as you become more proficient in using the ability, you will slowly expand this information network. If you are capable enough, this information network can even cover the entire planet. 】
【In addition, this ability has a maximum passive skill. Once implanted, without any practice, it will make the plant feel natural affinity, shielding all plant damage, and getting plant protection. 】
【Excuse me, does the host have any other questions? 】
Youxi was silent for two seconds: "No, just buy them, I want both!"
【The implant will start immediately after purchase, and you cannot be disturbed within 24 hours. Choose one first. 】
Just as Youxi was about to choose, she heard a knock on the door outside. Someone was knocking on the door of the B&B room outside the Star House.
**
The person outside the door was Xu Yan. He had agreed with her the day before to go down the mountain together today, mainly hoping that she could help him as a bodyguard.
Youxi has been in the stormy apocalypse for ten years. Not to mention the agreement made ten years ago, she almost forgot Xu Yan's face. Of course, the latter statement was a bit exaggerated, but she did forget the agreement to go down the mountain.
But since she had promised the other party, she would definitely not break her promise.
She asked Xu Yan to wait for her downstairs first, and said that she would go back to make some preparations, so she did not let him enter the B&B suite.
Her parents were both in the Star House, and there was no sign of life in the suite. Xu Yan was careful, and she would definitely not let him go in and wait.
She mainly went back to explain to Fan Qi and You Feng.
When she came back from the Storm World this time, she did not bring much supplies, mainly because the world itself was short of supplies - especially food.
When she went there before, she did not think that she would stay for so long, so she almost emptied the Star House warehouse and only brought enough food and supplies for one person to use for more than half a year.
In addition, she stocked up a lot of drinking water, daily medicine escape backpacks and other supplies as soon as she entered, and her original protective equipment, weapons, and metal ice were not consumed much.
She and Tang Yatong built the shelter, and initially they used the food and supplies found in several warehouses and supply points in that world.
Later, they went into the water again and again to replenish the supply warehouses, and the planting, hydroponics, and breeding on the cruise ship gradually got on track, so the production and consumption of the shelter base were always kept at a balance point.
Her food for the past ten years was naturally included, and there was no disadvantage except that the food variety was a little monotonous.
So although she didn't bring back a lot of food this time, she only consumed about one-third of the food she brought in for more than half a year.
In addition, when she was digging the supply warehouse underwater, she also got some weapons and a large amount of gold, jade, and diamonds.
As for gasoline, because her fuel tank can directly receive gasoline from the gas pump, she has searched every gas station in the underwater city for the past ten years. While finding a large amount of fuel for the cruise ship, she also kept her fuel tank full.
Finally, there is the space for transportation, the RV and the yacht.
These two vehicles carry too many memories of her. If there are no special circumstances, she is unlikely to replace or discard them.
She told Fan Qi and You Feng about going down the mountain, and at the same time reminded them not to leave the star house before she comes back no matter what happens outside.
If there is an emergency, they can contact her through the transparent mobile phone. If she doesn't come back for the time being, it should be because she has been out for more than ten kilometers. She told them not to worry and just wait patiently.
Afterwards, she changed into a long-sleeved waterproof and breathable sportswear, put on a baseball cap and a mask, took a small backpack for protection, and went out directly without even wearing a protective suit.
**
Sure enough, Xu Yan was slightly stunned when he saw that she was not wearing a protective suit.
However, he did not ask any questions, but just looked at her several times while driving the ATV down the mountain.
You Xi knew what he was wondering, but after ten years in the storm world, some of her ideas were completely different.
In the past ten years, she has always been in a leader's position. She is the center and focus of the crowd. Many people admire her, and some people envy her.
But because she clearly showed her strength, even if someone was jealous and disliked her, no one dared to attack her-because those who wanted to attack her were all cleaned up by her.
In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to hide.
She brought a backpack, and it was enough to cover up the part of her personal space a little bit, as for the rest
, she didn't need it. Xu Yan went down the mountain mainly to go to the ATM in the town to withdraw money. The signal in the mountains was not good to begin with, and in the current environment, people still believed in cash more, so he went to withdraw money. He was not the only one who needed cash, he brought several people's cards, intending to withdraw money together.
This time when he went down the mountain with Youxi, Xu Yan clearly felt the difference in each other.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if the distance between her and him was farther.
She was originally a person of few words, and even if she was capable, she didn't like to show off. Now there is an extra layer of alienation, not the kind that she pretended to be, but the kind of feeling that came out naturally.
But at the same time, he felt that she seemed to be more open than before, like a person holding a secret who suddenly let go of something that was previously strictly guarded.
