Chapter 17
At noon, the rich aroma of food lingered in the simple bungalow.
Ango didn't think she had much cooking experience, but fortunately she didn't fail this time, and both her siblings liked her cooking skills very much.
"Burp—" Ace burped contentedly and happily, then collapsed on the seat, looking extremely comfortable.
Irene's face was also filled with a happy smile: "Ango's cooking skills are amazing! I have never eaten such delicious potato beef. How did you make it?"
Ango thought for a moment, folded a tissue, wiped his mouth, and said, "Just like doing an experiment, add things according to the steps. I'm using the recipe you kept in the kitchen."
"...for an experiment?" Ace seemed to be choking on the words, "How could anyone cook like this?"
"That's amazing. I declare that in this family, my cooking skills are number one and yours are number two." Irene patted Ango's shoulder happily.
Ango kept smiling without any flaws on his face.
"Okay, okay." Ace's expression was speechless. He perfunctorily stood up from his seat and said, "I'll go wash the dishes!"
"So diligent?"
"Hey, I have something else to do later." Ace smiled sheepishly, "I have an appointment with my classmates to go out and play."
"Who? Tang Yu?" Irene asked casually.
"That's right!" Ace shouted back from the kitchen.
"Do you have any plans for the afternoon?" Irene asked Ango again.
Ango paused slightly.
She actually wanted to do something in the afternoon, and planned to see if there was any suitable house to rent in the town.
Ever since she found a job, Ango had been considering moving out of Irene and Ace's house. She was a solitary person, and with her special status and Xisen now staying with her, it was always inconvenient for her to stay in someone else's house.
However, Ango gave all of his first month's salary to Irene, and she was not sure when she would leave Sun Town, so she kept delaying. Today happened to be free, so she could go and find out some information about renting a house, and maybe even find out the location of the black market in Sun Town. If she needed money urgently in the future, she could sell the transformation system on her body.
"Well, I want to go see the house."
"You want to move out?" Irene opened her eyes wide, her azure pupils clear and sincere, and said enthusiastically, "I heard the school has a school building. Why don't you go there and take a look?"
"School building?" Ango was stunned. She had never heard that the school had accommodation.
"Ace," Erin called across the living room to the kitchen, "The school has a building, right?"
Ace poked his head out from behind the door, still wiping the dishes in his hands. "Yes, there is, but no one has lived there for a long time."
"Is that so?" Irene propped her chin up with her hand. "Why don't you take Ango there sometime to see if there's room there?"
"Ange is moving out?" Ace asked in surprise, "Isn't it nice to live here with us?"
Just as Ango was about to speak, Irene spoke first, "Just take a look. If it's not suitable, you can still live at home."
"I have something to do this afternoon!" Ace said reluctantly.
"You guys have to go to school anyway."
"Huh? How did you know?"
"Hehe, Tang Yu told me today that you have a secret base in school."
"Why did she even tell you this!"
Ango blinked, his curiosity aroused. A secret base?
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Ango and Ace appeared at the school gate. Tang Yu and Lin Yaoxin were already waiting for them.
"This is the school building."
The trio took Ango around the school's teaching building, passed through the carport behind the gymnasium, and came to a three-story gray building.
The building looked old and dilapidated. Some of the glass windows were broken, some were covered with dust, and there was a thick layer of moss on the exterior walls, making it look dark and damp.
Ango frowned. She walked forward and tried to open the door, but found that the flimsy iron door was locked with a chain and she couldn't get in at all.
"Go from here." Tang Yu's voice was very clear.
Ango looked in the direction of the sound. Tang Yu squatted down and tapped the wall with her fingers. A turquoise light spread from her fingertips. Then she spread her fingers, and the light quickly spread into a rectangle. It was not large, about half the height of an adult. Tang Yu pushed gently, and the rectangle opened inward like a door.
This rectangle is opened in the wall and looks like a...dog hole that glows green!
Ace was the shortest, so he entered first. He bent down and crouched stealthily as he entered the school building.
Then came Lin Yaoxin, Tang Yu, and finally An Ge.
An Ge was resistant. She had a slight obsession with cleanliness, and the school building was dusty and dusty, making it seem impossible to enter or leave cleanly. But after following the three people here, Tang Yu's head popped out from the rectangular area again, his eyes warm and sincere. "Doctor An! Hurry up! The door is about to close."
Ango had no choice but to follow suit and crawl through the "dog hole".
As they walked, Ango's attention was not on the school building, but on Tang Yu.
Ango had studied her "door-making" ability. While it didn't seem suited to combat, she found it quite useful. This ability allowed users to create a door in inanimate solid objects. As the ability improved, the area of the door increased. At C-level, it could even develop a teleportation function, transferring objects within a limited range to another dimension.
However, Tang Yu’s current ability obviously cannot be used for teleportation, and its use is limited to entering the locked school building, and in such an embarrassing way.
As they walked, Lin Yaoxin turned around and said to An Ge, "This school building is too dilapidated. No one usually comes here. If we want to live here, I'm afraid we'll have to ask Principal Meng to send someone to renovate it."
Ango smiled awkwardly: "Forget it, I just came to take a look. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. No need to force it."
Now is the time of financial crisis, and he can't afford to renovate the place.
"Yeah, this is a big project. It took us ages to clear out this secret base," Ace said, reaching the stairs. "Here we are, this is the basement."
It turns out that their "secret base" is hidden in the basement of an abandoned school building.
The three of them didn't have the key to the basement, so Tang Yu used his abilities to bring them in.
There were no windows in the basement, and when Ango entered the room, everything in front of him was dark.
With a "click", someone turned on the power. Ango's eyes were stung by the white light. It took him a few seconds to adjust before he could see the scene clearly.
Before coming here, she had thought about what a secret base for a child her age would be like. Perhaps it would be filled with her own "little collections," or a gathering place built with second-hand furniture, or perhaps...
She never imagined that the wall in front of her was covered with...her own photos!
Yes, hers—that is, Sangria’s photos! There were even many of them that she hadn’t even seen!
Ango felt like she'd been struck by lightning, her entire body almost petrified. What was this? She wasn't a celebrity, so why would someone post a picture of her? Could it be her enemy?
Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Ace burst out laughing. "Hahaha, I told you this wall is disgusting! Look, it scared even Dr. An!"
Lin Yaoxin, stifling a smile, winked at An Ge and said, "This is Tang Yu's idol. Whenever she has time, she comes over and makes a wish looking at these photos."
He's still laughing! An Ge was furious. Lin Yaoxin knew her identity and was obviously gloating over her misfortune!
She inexplicably wanted to destroy the wall completely... What was this?
"What wish?"
"Of course, it's to help me get excellent grades in every exam." Tang Yu said proudly, "How about this wall? It's very cool, isn't it?"
Ango didn't answer, her gaze shifting awkwardly, trying to avoid the faces that belonged to her. Instead, she saw two joined wooden tables, covered with all sorts of experimental equipment and samples. While the scattered arrangement of these items betrayed their owner's casual and reckless nature, the complete suite of supplies made it look like a small laboratory for extraordinary research.
On the bookshelf next to it, books and folders were placed in a disorderly manner. The folders were labeled with "Sangria" and numbers from 1 to 24... a total of twenty-four volumes!
"Those are the information collected by Tang Yu." Lin Yaoxin touched his nose.
"What information?" Ango's hair stood on end, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Yu became strange.
After all, anyone who walks into a house like this - with photos and information about themselves everywhere - would suspect that they are being targeted by a pervert.
"It's about the 'Transformation System.'" Tang Yu enthusiastically took a copy and opened it to Ango, explaining, "I'm researching how this magical potion is made."
At this point, Ango finally understood Tang Yu's intention - she wanted to replicate her research results.
Looking at the information and notes that Tang Yu showed her, Ango also looked at them curiously, wanting to know how far this kid could go in his research. As a result, she found that Tang Yu had really grasped several key points, and she couldn't help but admire him.
"It's a pity that we don't have enough materials." Tang Yu sighed, "From the information that Sangria has released so far, it seems that at least four different Beyonder Ability reagents are needed to create a transformation system, and we don't have all these raw materials."
Of course. Ango thought so in her heart, but she asked, "What did you get?"
"I only got one 'storage'." Ace complained.
That doesn't mean there is no...
The transformation system she created has three simple steps.
The first step is to use a container with "storage" capabilities to store all extraordinary abilities in it. The second step is to "copy" the extraordinary abilities you want to possess - this ability is called "mother ability". Finally, use the "purification" ability to open the genetic code lock, rewrite it, and apply the copied ability.
"What we're doing now is pretty boring," Lin Yaoxin said. "Tang Yu forced us to store our abilities in test tubes and observe, observe, and observe again..."
"That sounds so boring!" Tang Yu interrupted Lin Yaoxin and explained to Ango, "Once extraordinary abilities leave the body of the ability holder and enter the natural world, they will quickly dissipate. They can only be preserved by placing them in a special 'storage' test tube."
After saying that, Tang Yu cut her fingertips with a knife, and drops of blood flowed out of her fingertips. These blood drops fell on the table. After about ten seconds, they disappeared like bubbles, leaving only dried blood, and the wound on her hand healed quickly.
"But putting it in a test tube with this trait is different."
Tang Yu scratched her fingertip again. This time, she caught the blood in a "storage" test tube and quickly sealed it. The blood accumulated at the bottom of the test tube, about three centimeters thick, and did not disappear even after a minute.
"It's amazing, right?" Tang Yu looked at Ango proudly.
Ango naturally understood the basics, but her focus was on another matter: "Where did you get all these equipment?"
The rest are fine, but these test tubes that can store extraordinary abilities are very valuable, and there are several rows of them on Tang Yu's desk.
