As Fang Qingdai listened to Lu Rui's nonsense, her face revealed an undisguised sarcasm.
"We're both level five ability users, why should I be your teammate?"
As soon as Fang Qingdai spoke, Lu Rui's face darkened, and Lu Hai also felt somewhat helpless.
Lu Hai patiently explained to Fang Qingdai, "Qingdai, although your ability level is high, spatial ability is only a support type. When going out on missions, you still need a capable captain to take charge..."
Fang Qingdai interrupted Uncle Lu with a smile, looking at Lu Rui with an innocent expression: "Are you very good at fighting?"
"I remember my mom saying, 'You can't even beat a woman like her, so what makes you think you can be the captain?'"
Lu Rui's expression was ashen, but he still maintained his composure: "The past is the past, now I've leveled up..."
"A single promotion can defy the heavens?"
Fang Qingdai's few words choked Lu Rui, instantly shattering the stiff smile he had maintained on his face!
"Qingdai! Although you have some talent, she is still your elder! Is this how you talk to your elder?"
Fang Qingdai looked Lu Rui up and down a few times: "What elder? I remember you were a terrible person, always causing trouble for my parents. When you couldn't beat them, you would secretly curse me to vent your anger. You said it quite smoothly when you were cursing. Were you not an elder then?"
Those were scenes retrieved from the original owner's memories. The scenes were from a long time ago, and Fang Qingdai couldn't actually remember what Lu Rui had said back then.
But his fierce and menacing face, which terrified children, was deeply imprinted in the original owner's heart!
Fang Qingdai despised Lu Rui's character and criticized him mercilessly!
Lu Hai and the others who knew Lu Rui's character all showed disdain. The undisguised gazes of the crowd fueled Lu Rui's anger!
He wished he could tie up Fang Qingdai right now, torture this sharp-tongued brat until she was barely alive, and then remove her spatial ability!
If only I could obtain her spatial abilities...
Lu Rui's eyes gleamed with greed, but he suppressed the anger that had risen to his chest.
He looked down and fiddled with the bracelet, then smiled at Fang Qingdai again: "Qingdai, those are all grudges between elders. Your parents are gone, and those old stories are just a thing of the past. Now, as your uncle, I'm just trying to help you out of old friendships..."
Fang Qingdai knew that he had already sent a message to his superiors, and she felt a little relieved.
I've been arguing with him for so long just to force him to reveal the people behind him.
This was Fang Qingdai's true purpose.
On the other side, Lu Hai, after hearing Fang Qingdai's sarcasm, also came to his senses and realized that Lu Rui's team was not a good place to go. He quickly reported to his superiors.
Fang Qingdai stood there with her arms crossed, ignoring Lu Rui's incessant persuasion.
Fang Qingdai's unfocused pupils only returned to focus when several figures appeared at the entrance of the Ability Certification Center.
Looking closely outside, I saw that the leader was a middle-aged man with a large belly.
The man had fair skin and wore neat clothes. Although the style was ordinary, he still stood out from the crowd of people with a "scavenging" style, looking particularly energetic and unique!
Judging from his appearance, the person who came was of high status in the base and enjoyed resources that ordinary people could only dream of.
This person looks kind of familiar...
As Fang Qingdai was pondering, she heard Xiao Mao call out, "Dad? What brings you here?"
Fang Qingdai paused for a second, then glanced at Xiao Mao with some surprise!
No wonder the newcomer looked familiar; that round, fair face looked almost exactly like Xiao Mao's!
Fang Qingdai quickly turned to look at Lu Rui, and saw Lu Rui rushing over with a fawning expression, greeting the man with the potbelly warmly. Fang Qingdai's heart sank slightly!
Xiao Mao's father is Lu Rui's superior!
In other words, Xiao Mao's father is very likely one of the people in charge of that experiment. The disappearance of the superhumans at the base, including the disappearance of the original owner's parents, may be closely related to Xiao Mao's father!
Fang Qingdai's expression turned completely somber.
Xiao Mao, unaware of Fang Qingdai's thoughts, awkwardly approached the man with the potbelly and asked, "Dad, have you heard about the fact that someone in the base activated their superpower at the age of seventeen, and that they are a high-level, rare space-type superpower user?"
Xiao Mao looked eager to get closer, yet also seemed a little timid. He stared longingly at the potbelly and cautiously said, "Dad, don't worry, if my sister can do it, I'll definitely have a chance too!"
The man with the potbelly finally looked at Xiao Mao properly: "Your sister?"
"Yes! I feel like I've known Qingdai for ages, we're like long-lost siblings! I've been wanting to take Qingdai back to meet you for a long time!"
Xiao Mao grinned broadly, and, carried away by his pride, moved closer to General Belly, but abruptly stopped in his tracks under General Belly's gaze.
Fang Qingdai didn't miss the strange atmosphere between the father and son. Recalling Xiao Mao's low voice when his mother was mentioned that day, Fang Qingdai raised her eyebrows thoughtfully.
General Belly looked at Qingdai, a perfectly measured, gentle smile playing on his lips: "So you're my son's good friend!"
"Since you're my son's friend, I, as your father, should take care of you. I'll make the decision to assign you to Lu Rui's superpower team and appoint you as the vice-captain!"
Although Fang Qingdai was highly talented, she was a support type and young and inexperienced. Her ability to take over as vice-captain right away made everyone present sigh with envy.
"Having connections is so great. I wish I had a rich kid friend like that..."
"Who is this person? How can he have so much power?"
"You don't recognize him? Li Weidong is the second-in-command of the base! He commands twelve superpowered squads!"
Unlike the 21st century, the wasteland doesn't shy away from using connections, since the power of speech is entirely in the hands of those in power.
Given Fang Qingdai's status as a level-five ability user, aside from lacking experience, she was more than qualified to be a vice-captain. Therefore, everyone was just envious and assumed that Fang Qingdai would agree to the position.
To everyone's surprise, Fang Qingdai smirked and said, "If I'm going to do something, I'll be the team leader. I won't accept any vice-captain assignments!"
Li Weidong's expression turned slightly cold after being humiliated, but his smile remained unchanged: "The captain needs an offensive ability user..."
Before he finished speaking, a huge wooden box suddenly appeared out of thin air!
Lu Rui only felt a shadow block his way, and before he could react, the huge wooden crate had already crashed down!
"Clang!" The wooden box smashed onto the man's head, shattering it into pieces!
Lu Rui's cry of pain was still clearly heard amidst the gasps of the crowd!
"Qingdai!!"
Lu Rui covered his head and roared, no longer able to maintain his composure. With bloodshot eyes, he threw a fireball at Fang Qingdai!
Fang Qingdai quickly pulled out a second wooden box and threw it, shouting, "That's it? That's it? Is this what you call an offensive weapon?"
"With this level of skill, what makes you think you can be the captain?"
Isn't it just an offensive ability? Who said spatial ability users can't attack?
