Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Superpowers
-Sunset Tavern of Paradise Guild-
In the corner, a man was drinking red wine, alone.
The light was dim, and his features were hard to see.
Probably sharp features, a high nose bridge, and melancholy eyes... (all kinds of handsome adjectives)
And his face is so white!
Even if someone who doesn't know him sees this scene, they will know that this man is probably in trouble.
The good thing about the Grand Guild is that there is always an ample supply of alcohol.
If there is something you can't figure out or solve, just get drunk to numb your nerves.
Ever since the day the boss came back, the man always felt that many things were different from before.
It’s hard to say exactly where the changes occurred, or if everything has changed.
It was an experience akin to isolation and exclusion.
On the day Lu Suye came back, they didn't invite him to the "Blue Hole Project" meeting. Even several elders of the Paradise Guild who had never been involved in this project before attended, but he was not there.
Naturally, he had no part in the latest exploration of the "Black Stone Geological Park".
That was the area he was best at, and he was isolated from the area he was best at.
Now, today...
Spread your hands,
[Priest.]
The knife fell with a loud swoop.
[Introductions over, let’s go.]
Whenever he thought about it, Si Mu found it extremely funny.
When Lu Suye introduced his band of brothers, not only did He Yongqiang get ahead of him, but his introduction was only two short words: his name?
Is there any need to introduce it? Everyone already knows it!
Being as sensitive as he is, the negative feelings doubled, almost making him explode.
This guy seems to be targeting me.
Not an illusion.
"Vice-chaplain, are you alone?"
At this time, someone came to his table.
Si Mu raised his eyes and met a face that seemed to be smiling.
He is not unfamiliar with this person.
Wen Hai, the vice president of a large bankrupt base in the west, led the elite psychics in the base to join the Paradise Valley before the guild collapsed.
Lu Suye personally negotiated the cooperation. The price for them to join was to transfer the remaining assets originally controlled by their guild. They could provide internal confidential information to help the Bliss Guild to annex and reap the benefits.
In exchange, Wen Hai asked for 50 spots to become members of the Paradise Guild, but Lu Suye only gave him 10 at most.
Therefore, the 10 people who finally joined the Paradise Guild were all carefully selected psychics with top-level S-level mental power.
After accepting the remaining supplies and minerals from their guild, the Paradise Guild designated a new residential area for the 10 of them in the psychic area.
Wen Hai, an S-level water-based psychic, also went from being the second-in-command in another large base to the captain of a team in the Paradise Guild's Psychic Operations Department.
Si Mu, as the vice president in charge of internal affairs of the Paradise Valley base, met with him here yesterday.
"Is anyone here?" Wen Hai said as he pulled out a chair.
Si Mu was too lazy to pay attention.
But when Wen Hai revealed his intentions in just two sentences, Si Mu suddenly began to regret his acquiescence.
Wen Hai said a lot of roundabout words, but most of them meant the same thing.
What's going on?
The president of the Paradise Guild seems to be quite different from the terrifying image in the rumors?
I didn't notice it when I first came into contact with it, but now I feel like it's just a way to gain fame and reputation, and it's an exaggeration.
Listening to Wen Hai's words, Si Mu said nothing.
His bony fingers rested on the side of the wine glass.
Such a pair of hands is very suitable for playing the piano, but now it can only hold a glass of wine to drown one's sorrows.
As he listened, he laughed.
Then the person sitting opposite him also laughed.
Si Mu waved to the bar staff and asked him to open a new bottle of red wine.
Wen Hai raised his eyebrows.
Drinking with a close friend?
This action was too obvious.
"You think so, don't you?"
Looking at the newly delivered high-heeled glasses for drinking red wine on the tray, Wen Hai picked one up.
But Si Mu had already stood up and held the opened bottle of red wine.
Wen Hai was not polite and put the wine glass in the middle.
"If you want to talk about someone with abilities and qualities worthy of the Bliss Guild's position..."
He thought Si Mu was going to pour him some wine.
but--
Under the action of gravity, the scarlet liquid fell vertically, and air continued to rush in, colliding with the liquid in the bottle, making a gurgling sound.
This bottle of wine is used to wash his hair.
The air was filled with a strong and rich aroma of grapes.
The red wine soaked Wen Hai's hair, and flowed madly into his eyes and mouth along the gaps between his facial features, which he didn't have time to close. It was inhaled into his nasal cavity along with his breathing, poured into his ears, and finally sank into his collar, damp and cold.
A bottle of wine was poured, and Wen Hai's face was soaked with wine, turning a strange red.
Looking at the crab in front of me that looked like it was boiled in boiling water,
Si Mu's tone was flat.
"Are you qualified to talk about him?"
-
At night.
-Bliss Guild Villa Area-
"I'm sleepy, I'm dying of sleep, please let me sleep!"
She begged repeatedly, dodged kisses, and crawled everywhere.
He was grabbed by the ankle and pulled back.
Press it down tightly.
"One last time."
“That’s what you just said…!”
“Mmmmm…”
After a long time——
He was covered with a quilt, lying on his side, with his eyes closed.
His right eye narrowed slightly.
The figure in front of me was shaking.
The well-developed wheat-colored back muscles are wrapped.
It’s so late.
"You're going out?"
"Um."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"explain."
"What is Si Mu's special ability?"
"It looks like you don't want to sleep."
There is a price to pay for asking random questions.
【Congratulations! You won again! 】
Panting crazily, eyes blurred with tears, feeling like I was about to die...
"Can you tell me now?"
"Bang!" (door slams)
The man turned his back on her afterward.
It's so ruthless to pull that thing out.
Jiang Xi tucked the quilt up to cover Aihen's messy and seductive body, and let her mind wander.
He refused to say and refused to introduce it. Could it be that the supernatural power that Si Mu awakened was some shameful one?
-
"His—power?"
At 9 o'clock in the morning, I was faced with a fatal question as soon as I got to work.
The bodyguard Aqiang choked.
Didn't this day come a little too early?
He cautiously probed: "Didn't the boss tell you?"
Jiang Xi raised her chin slightly: "Why else would I ask you?"
Lu Suye didn't come back last night, but Jiang Qian was not worried at all. It would be better if he didn't come back, otherwise she would definitely not be in a sober state now.
It seems like someone else is coming soon.
But now, there are only her and Yongqiang at home, so there is no time to wait.
Facing Jiang Ting's aggressiveness,
On one side is the original owner, and on the other side is the new owner.
The villain in Yongqiang's heart started to fight.
To tell or not to tell, that is the question...
Ding Dong——!
The doorbell rang.
In case of amnesty,
"I'll go open the door!!"
He Yongqiang made a flying pounce.
More and more like Yongzhuang!
The door opened.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Jiang's home?"
Looking out the door, Jiang Xi was stunned.
This was the first time in such a long time that she had seen a woman other than herself!
And it was a woman she seemed to have met before?
"You are so beautiful! Much more beautiful than I imagined..."
Behind her, there was the early morning visitor holding a primitive tape measure, taking her measurements.
After a brief contact, Jiang Xi remembered who she was.
——The world's top fashion designer, Chen Shanshan.
She was extremely popular for a time, launched numerous campaigns, and won numerous awards. It is no exaggeration to say that during her most popular period, celebrities' status was even judged by whether they could wear the evening dresses designed by her to attend events.
Anyway, Jiang Qian didn't even have to think about it at that time, because Chen Shanshan was someone she could never get in touch with.
But as someone in this industry, she had always heard of such a world-class master fashion designer, otherwise she would not have stayed in this circle.
Moreover, this also made Jiang Ying start to doubt why Chen Shanshan, who had met countless celebrities, still praised herself so exaggeratedly.
"Really?" When Jiang Xi turned to face Chen Shanshan, she couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's true!" Chen Shanshan quickly confirmed.
Jiang Qian didn't find any flaws in Chen Shanshan's sincere eyes, but she saw a hint of flattery and fear hidden in her eyes.
Times have changed.
The zombie plague catastrophe changed everyone's fate.
Industries that prospered and flourished in peacetime are worthless when faced with the basic problem of survival.
Designers, painters, musicians...
Naturally, this also includes entertainment stars like her. After the halo fades, they are no different from ordinary people.
Jiang Xi could imagine what would happen if she had not met a psychic who had a strong liking for her when she came through.
So her fate, even if she was not bitten to death by zombies, would most likely be like Chen Shanshan, squeezed into a small shelter with other survivors who were blessed with shelter.
Just like where Chen Shanshan and her daughter live now in the Paradise Guild, it is a dormitory building of less than 5 square meters in the survivors' residential area.
The reason why she was promoted was because her once brilliant resume was now useful.
After Jiang Xi came here.
Unconsciously flipping through the clothing sample book that Chen Shanshan had carefully prepared long ago, with a few strokes of pencil on the ordinary white paper, each vivid and beautiful piece of clothing came to life on the paper.
She drew not only summer clothes, but also autumn and winter clothes in a thick stack, and bound them into different categories to make it easier for her employer, who was also the savior in her life, to choose.
Similar situations, but completely different circumstances.
Jiang Qian suddenly felt that her current life seemed to be a fluke, and she felt a little upset.
Perhaps she has not yet adapted to the role of being able to easily control the fate of others. After all, no matter how rich her family was in the past, they could only live a carefree life. Being able to pursue her dreams without any psychological burden was far from being as exaggerated as it is now.
"These two." Jiang Qian randomly clicked on two pages.
Just... two pieces?
Chen Shanshan's face turned pale in an instant. She had prepared three hundred sets of patterns!
She tried hard to muster up her courage, as this concerned the future of her and her daughter, so Chen Shanshan had to take the risk.
"Would you like to choose a few more?" Chen Shanshan's eyes were filled with eager anticipation. "I think this one, this one, and this one... they all suit your temperament very well!"
Chen Shanshan hurriedly flipped through the manuscript that she had worked on for several nights, like a drowning person grabbing at a life-saving straw.
Jiang Xi understood almost instantly.
"Actually, I like all the styles here! I want them all! But," she said hesitantly, "I'm afraid you'll be too busy if I choose them all."
"No, no..." After hearing Jiang Qian's words, Chen Shanshan waved her hands repeatedly, "I can do all of these! At the latest, one a day, and I can also ask my friends for help!"
Having a formal job at the survivor base is something many people dream of.
This means that they can earn points through their own labor, exchange them for notes, use the notes to purchase supplies, improve their lives, and live better.
"Okay, I want them all." Jiang Qian closed the hand-bound booklet.
"Thank you, Miss Jiang."
Before leaving, Chen Shanshan expressed her sincere gratitude, her eyes slightly moist, "I will have all the clothes you selected at the beginning made and sent to you in the next two days!"
"Well, thank you for your help." Jiang Xi said goodbye to her.
Watching Chen Shanshan get into the car that the members of the Paradise Guild drove to bring her here, Jiang Xi returned to the dining table, feeling lost.
She crossed her hands, supporting her chin, and stared blankly ahead.
Jiang Yongzhuang had just had a good meal, and he jumped onto her lap, found a comfortable position, and began to sleep.
From the perspective of others, Chen Shanshan really gave Jiang Xi a big shock.
Although her life fell from the peak to the bottom, at least she can make a living with her skills as long as there is the right opportunity.
But what about yourself?
A person who cannot carry things on his shoulders or lift things with his hands is useless.
And what I am doing now...
[Full-time girlfriend?]
Jiang Xi: “…”
It doesn't sound like a good word.
"Qiangqiang, can I ask you a question?"
Jiang Qian suddenly turned her head and looked at He Yongqiang.
He Yongqiang: "..." Isn't it the same question as before?
"How did you awaken your superpowers?"
The crisis of survival elbowed Si Mu, who had previously occupied Jiang Xi's brain, away and she had forgotten about him. She was now more curious about this.
It is said that there are many ways to awaken superpowers.
He Yongqiang quickly replied: "I found it as soon as I woke up!"
Jiang Xi: "Did your muscles grow overnight?"
"This?" He Yongqiang performed a standard bodybuilding demonstration. "I used to be a fitness coach, so I had muscles. After awakening my superpowers, my muscles became even bigger!"
The way He Yongqiang awakened his superpowers is also the way most people with superpowers acquire their superpowers.
sleep.
Isn’t this just luck?!
It was as if she had said nothing at all, and Jiang Xi felt very frustrated.
If I wait for one day to wake up with an extra spiritual energy running through my body, how long will I have to wait for that?
Is there a chance that increasing the number of sleep times...
An Apple alarm clock at 8am?
Jiang Xi racked her brains and finally sighed.
"Can't we invent a drug that can awaken superpowers? Take it and you'll awaken instantly!!"
"Now that I mention it, I remember..."
Jiang Ying's words reminded He Yongqiang to some extent. He lowered his head slightly in thought, "It seems that this kind of medicine is indeed being researched?"
After a while, there was silence.
When he looked up again, he saw Jiang Xi's pupils dilated in front of him. She opened her big watery eyes excitedly and stared at him with her bright eyes.
Like a cat that smells fishy.
"Where is it?"
-
Jiang Ting: "Ku Le Hospital?"
Muttering to himself the golden sign on the door.
Just hearing the name makes me feel that my life is so miserable...
"Shouldn't you just not go?"
He Yongqiang looked embarrassed.
He slapped his mouth, wondering how he could have said that accidentally.
As a result, their plan today turned into a visit to the director of the Kule Hospital at the Paradise Valley base.
"What!?"
Seeing He Yongqiang backing out, Jiang Qian turned around and said with a look of disapproval, "We even brought gifts, why aren't we going?"
Even the king of heaven can’t stop her today, she must go!
"and……"
Jiang Qian leaned over and asked mysteriously, "Didn't you say he was Lu Suye's younger brother?"
"Just our relationship," Jiang Qian pointed at herself, poked He Yongqiang, and then pointed at the air, representing Lu Suye who was not here at the moment.
Anyway, as long as Qiangzi can understand what she wants to express, "Brother will definitely give us the latest research results!"
Jiang Ting is full of confidence.
The image of Lu Suxing, the director of Kule Hospital, came to He Yongqiang's mind.
He prayed silently in his heart, I hope...
Once we entered the hospital, everything went smoothly.
Jiang Xi was surprised. He Yongqiang's face was very useful wherever he went and everyone knew him.
However, the dean is not in the hospital now. If you want to find him, you can go to the research institute on the third underground floor.
This is also the backdoor he left for insiders, specifically his brother's closest small group.
He was also the only one among Lu Suye's five brothers whom Jiang Qian had never seen before.
The elevator reached the deep underground, and a smell of corrupted earth rose up.
When they arrived at the palely lit laboratory of the research institute, He Yongqiang gently closed the door for them.
After years of experience in a large guild, he knew that even though he didn't have top-level attacking abilities, he had managed to get to the core of the power storm.
The less you know, the better. If you don't need to be present at a conversation, it's best not to be present.
He could only help Jiang Xi up to this point; the rest depended on herself.
Jiang Xi put down the gift bag and looked at the figure in a white coat working at the operating table in front of her.
Even if she was allowed to enter, her sudden visit might disturb Dean Lu Suxing's research.
How long will it take?
Thinking of those researchers who usually sit in the laboratory all day, she began to back down.
Why don't you come back another day...
But at this moment, Lu Suxing's chair turned 180 degrees, and Jiang Qian finally saw the true face of this genius biochemical expert.
He has some similarities with Lu Suye in his features, but Lu Suxing looks thinner.
But their temperaments are completely different. Lu Suye is a complete ruffian, while Lu Suxing looks like a very cultured and intelligent person.
"Jiang Xi, I know you."
Lu Suxing spoke first.
He has never seen himself, but he knows his existence.
That’s right, he is Lu Suye’s younger brother.
"Can you help me awaken my superpowers?" Jiang Xi didn't beat around the bush.
"Awakening superpowers?" Lu Suxing was surprised. He immediately asked, "Don't you have superpowers?"
"Do I have it?"
Lu Suxing's words confused Jiang Xi.
Or...she has always had special abilities, but she just didn't know it.
Jiang Ting's heart moved, and with hope in her heart, she asked nervously,
"What is my superpower?"
"Your ability—"
At this moment, an intriguing smile suddenly appeared on Lu Suxing's expressionless face.
"Isn't it just to make every man who sees you..."
The smile faded and turned into a sharp knife.
He looked at Jiang Ting and said coldly,
"Everyone wants to sleep with you?"
