He told Hua Ge and the others that he was going to Noah Base to find the residents of the new town. Of course, he didn't hide it from Liu Lizhi either, since Su Luo now considered these people as his own people.
Of course, telling them this news was also to prepare them. This time, Su Luo planned to do something big. If possible, she would try to find more suitable people to move to her town and see if she could directly upgrade the title to city!
Only then could she go to the capital, now known as the Nine Netherworld Demon King City, with peace of mind!
The Su family's affairs should be settled eventually.
The night before his departure, Su Luo locked himself in his room, staring thoughtfully at an item on the system's points mall interface.
This is the item sold on the seventh floor. Unlike other daily necessities for humans, this item has the highest price tag and is the most eye-catching.
"Human Talent Gene Awakening Fluid"
Each one costs 500 points.
"Note: Gene Awakening Fluid can only guarantee the awakening of talents. The specific skills and skill levels cannot be predicted. For stability, please continue to unlock higher-level system points shops."
Seemingly in accordance with the words in the notes, Su Luo saw the name of the Human Designated Talent Breakthrough (Awakening) Gene Fluid in the system points shop called the Eighth Floor.
Its price jumped to 5,000 per vial, much more expensive than the seventh-layer version, so naturally, its efficacy must be better.
The eighth-floor shop hasn't opened yet, so there's no further information about that gene serum, except for its name.
However, too few of her current residents are capable of awakening their talents. To truly rival the City of Ghosts, simply having various powerful monsters is not enough; if they themselves are not strong, they will always become a burden.
Now that she has this gene serum that is specially designed to help people awaken, could she give a boost to the strength of a few specific people?
Su Luo had no intention of profiting from this gene fluid, nor did he even consider revealing its existence.
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." This kind of thing is too tempting for humans in the apocalypse. Even with the strange artifacts for protection, Su Luo still feels unsafe. Moreover, what would this world become if everyone awakened their talents?
I don't dare to think about it; my gut tells me things can only get worse!
Thinking of this, Su Luo decisively exchanged one for himself first to test the effect. If it worked, he would exchange a few more and secretly give them to Hua Ge, Lu Fuling, and the others, making them think that it was his suddenly awakened talent.
In this way, even if there is suspicion, no one would think of the presence of gene fluid.
Looking at the white liquid in his hand, icy cold like antibiotics just taken out of the refrigerator, Su Luo twitched his lips and slowly injected the gene fluid into his body.
One second, two seconds...
One minute, two minutes...
Su Luo stood up, looked at herself, and then looked in the mirror. There seemed to be nothing special about her. She didn't feel any awakening of her talent, or even any changes.
Could it be... that it's not working?
Or is it that I have already awakened?
There's no instruction manual for this thing. Does that mean my talent is too weak to detect it at all?
After waiting for half an hour without coming to a conclusion, Su Luo gave up and went out to find Xiao Yi to get some late-night snacks. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Liu Lizhi sitting on the sofa packing his things, preparing to leave.
"Still being revised?"
"No rush, don't overwork yourself." It's not like before the apocalypse, no need to roll around, it's unnecessary. Sleep is the most important thing.
To everyone's surprise, Liu Lizhi looked puzzled after hearing Su Luo's words, nodded blankly, and then glanced at Su Luo before leaving with the computer.
Su Luo: ...
Is there something on my face?
Noticing that Liu Lizhi was looking at her strangely, she looked down at herself and touched her face, but she didn't feel anything different.
When Su Luo called Xiao Yi over, she saw Xiao Yi cooperating with the food expert to show off her skills. Judging from the things on the cutting board, it seemed that they had only been in the kitchen for a short time.
Seeing Su Luo approaching, the gourmet patted his chest and said confidently, "Boss, it'll be ready soon. Give me half an hour, and I guarantee you'll have a feast!"
Half an hour?!
Another half hour? I remember the last time she came to the kitchen...
etc!
A terrifying thought flashed through Su Luo's mind, sending chills down her spine.
Half an hour? Half an hour!
She only received one injection of the talent awakening gene serum in that half hour!
She turned around abruptly to look at the old wall clock in the small house. The time was clearly displayed on it, and in her memory, it was half an hour ago!
She went back to half an hour ago!
No wonder Liu Lizhi was puzzled when he heard her words. From Liu Lizhi's perspective, he had just entered the door and left, and she hadn't even had time to pack her things and leave. She wasn't working overtime at all!
Time... has turned back!
Is this her innate skill?
At the same time, as if to confirm Su Luo's thoughts, a familiar system voice rang in his mind.
'Ding! Host's awakened talent skill detected. Skill level: SSS. Skill name: [Sage of Time], capable of rewinding and reversing time; time flows slowly under your control.'
It turns out to be a talent related to time.
Su Luo never expected that he possessed an SSS-level skill that surpassed S-level, and that it was even related to time.
This thing is mysterious and intangible; you can't see it or touch it, yet you can feel it.
Seemingly remembering something, Su Luo turned and went to the living room, looking at a potted plant in the corner that was about to wither.
After thinking for a moment, Su Luo reached out and gently stroked the withered leaves of the potted plant. The next second, the withered leaves in her hand seemed to be injected with chicken blood, gradually regaining their green vitality. Not only the leaves, but the entire potted plant seemed to come alive!
Upon seeing this, Su Luo was slightly surprised. Then she stroked the potted plant, and soon the plant withered completely again.
Time, under her hands, can turn back and move forward, returning to the past and heading towards the future.
"What a powerful skill," Su Luo murmured. "I wonder if time will affect the strange creatures, and if they will age and decay over time."
Su Luo was very satisfied with the skill he obtained with 500 points.
After confirming there were no side effects, he even gave one to Brother Hua, Chen Pingtou, and Lu Fuling, secretly injecting it into their bodies while they were talking or doing things.
As for Liu Lizhi, Jiang Yingxue, Xu Qing, Ye Rong, and others, we'll talk about them after she returns from the Noah Base. Otherwise, if they suddenly awaken too many innate skills for no reason, it will arouse suspicion, so it's best to be cautious.
No one expected that among the three, Lu Fuling would be the most talented.
As expected, Brother Hua's skill is related to physical strength. He is incredibly strong, and once he awakens it, he works even harder, with inexhaustible energy.
What surprised Su Luo most about Chen Pingtou was that he possessed a healing skill, similar to that of Qianqian's daughter. As for Lu Fuling...
Can someone explain to her what kind of weird skill 【Entangled Twins】 is?!
