Li Yao took out a level 9 crystal core, rinsed it with water, and examined it carefully in her palm.
This level 9 crystal core does indeed resemble a diamond. The one in her hand is an ice-type ability crystal core. If Li Yao didn't know it was a crystal core, she would almost think she had a blue diamond in her hand.
The crystal core possesses pure and abundant power; one can feel the surging supernatural energy within it just by holding it in their hand. Unfortunately, its level is too high, and Li Yao, a mere level 2 novice, cannot absorb it.
Reluctantly returning the zombies to the [Infinite Space], she decided to continue "playing" with them today.
"System, pick a level one zombie, I want to try my ice needles," Li Yao said to the system.
The system responded: "Okay, host."
A short while later, in the same location as yesterday, a tall, thin male zombie dressed in a black suit was teleported over.
This zombie looks like an office worker, dressed like an insurance salesman, and even wearing leather shoes.
Half of her cheek had been bitten off, and it was covered in blood. Seeing Li Yao made me want to vomit.
But out of respect for Mr. Zombie, she held back.
Fortunately, the zombie had two eyes. Li Yao focused her attention, conjured her own diamond-like ice needles, and stabbed them fiercely into the zombie's eyes.
Although Li Yao's superpowers weren't high, with the aid of her mental energy, she felt the ice needle pierce through the eyeball and stab hard into the male zombie's skull.
The zombie sensed something was wrong and howled. It sniffed the scent carried by the wind and tentatively approached Li Yao.
At this moment, Li Yao conjured another ice nail and stabbed it hard into the back of his head and neck, a spot that could potentially cause paralysis if injured.
This time, Li Yao used two-thirds of her ice-type ability, and the ice spike pierced through the back of her head and went through her philtrum.
This time, she thought the zombie should stop moving.
Sure enough, the zombie suddenly collapsed to the ground. He struggled but couldn't get up, but his stubborn "perseverance" made him twist his limbs and start crawling forward.
This...is indeed commendable.
Li Yao realized that this zombie, though paralyzed, was different from humans; it could still swell forward.
She used her last ice-based ability to freeze his legs, and then used her fire-based ability to completely envelop his head.
This time, because of his much higher level of proficiency with his superpowers, the zombie became a headless corpse in less than a minute.
Li Yao extinguished the flames, and saw that the ground where the zombie's head had been was charred black, and in the middle of the black ash, a crystal core the size of a grain of rice was particularly conspicuous.
Li Yao stored the crystal core in her spatial storage and used the [Designated Target Space Teleportation] to send the zombie back to the bottom of the valley.
She teleported back to the Invisible House, took out three level 2 ice crystal cores and three level 2 fire crystal cores, and began absorbing them. She had a premonition that she might be leveling up this time.
Sure enough, when she absorbed the last crystal core, she felt as if she had broken through a thin membrane, and she felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
She checked her body and found that her level 3 body could store twice as much supernatural power.
In other words, previously, ice-type abilities could only condense two diamond-like ice spikes with full power, but now they can condense four.
The same goes for fire-type abilities. Previously, I could only use the fire-type headgear skill once at full power, but now I can use it twice.
After each taking out two crystal cores and absorbing them to stabilize their properties, Li Yao asked the system to select another zombie so she could upgrade her mental abilities.
I teleported back to where I was before. This time, the system still selected a male zombie, about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a shirt and suit pants, with a shiny LV belt around his waist.
This zombie's arm was almost bitten off; you could see the bone in its forearm.
Li Yao didn't change her position; she remained upwind. The zombie trembled as it lunged at Li Yao, but she instantly teleported 20 meters behind it.
She unleashed her mental abilities to violently stir his brain. Thanks to yesterday's intervention, she didn't lose strength when she used this mental strangulation technique; she even retained a little bit of her abilities.
The zombie, still propelled forward, suddenly collapsed to the ground. Li Yao had the system send it back to the valley floor, then teleported back to the invisible house to absorb the crystal core.
She didn't know why she didn't break through this time. She absorbed two level 2 crystal cores and used her mental strangulation to kill a zombie again before she felt the level up when absorbing crystal cores.
Using three more level-2 crystal cores, Li Yao successfully broke through to level 3 in her mental ability. This time, she could use her Mental Strangulation twice. Her mental power could cover a distance of 100 meters.
It was already noon. There had been a lot of killing today, and her mind was full of blood and gore. After thinking about it, she decided to eat some vegetarian food.
A serving of hot and sour shredded potatoes, a serving of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, a serving of lettuce with oyster sauce, and a serving of home-style tofu. However, looking at the appearance of the tofu, she silently put it into her space and exchanged it for a serving of blanched bok choy, a large bowl of rice, and a glass of chilled plum juice.
After a delicious and satisfying meal, Li Yao took a nap. When the afternoon sun wasn't so hot, she continued to "play" with the zombies.
This time, she specifically called Dazhuang to test whether robots would be attractive to zombies.
After Li Yao had the system send her a zombie, she stood 50 meters downwind and had Da Zhuang stand upwind.
Da Zhuang obediently remained silent and still. This time, the female zombie was wearing a bikini, and her entire neck had been bitten through a large hole.
She sniffed around, but didn't move forward. Instead, she wandered around in the same spot. Li Yao gave Dazhuang a hand gesture, signaling him to move.
Dazhuang tapped the alloy plate on his chest.
Hearing the sound, the female zombie staggered toward Da Zhuang, but hesitated as she got closer, as if she had lost her target, shaking her head and sniffing around.
Now Li Yao understood that robots were just like roadside doorposts to zombies—they held no appeal.
Li Yao teleported Da Zhuang back to the Invisible House and used her ice-type ability to freeze the zombie's legs. This time, her ice power could freeze up to the zombie's knees, and the zombie below the knees was frozen into an ice sculpture.
She tried to condense a knife using her fire-based powers, attempting to cut off the zombie's head.
However, due to a lack of skill, the flame blade pierced through the zombie's neck halfway through the cut, leaving only the other half of the zombie's neck connected to its head.
The zombie howled, and Li Yao felt a little embarrassed, so she used a mental strangulation technique to send it to heaven.
