Lin Xu was very curious about what the Golden Superpower was.
He reached out and picked the fruit. After thinking it over, he decided that there was no need to rush to summon the golden spirit. Instead, he should eat the fruit and see what new abilities it might have.
Lin Xu took a big bite of the fruit and ate the round, strange fruit.
The golden fruit has a peculiar taste. Although it is not as sweet and savory as a peach, it has a delicate and refreshing fragrance.
Eating this fruit is not like eating a juicy fruit; it's more like swallowing flower petals. It leaves a pleasant fragrance in your mouth, but not much flavor.
After Lin Xu ate the golden fruit, he began to sense his surroundings.
He is theoretically capable of accommodating a considerable number of superpowers, but awakening multiple superpowers for the first time still requires some caution.
Fortunately, Lin Xu's foundation was indeed solid enough, and the awakening of his new superpower did not cause any serious problems.
Lin Xu felt a sudden heat throughout his body, and the next moment, an instinct arose in his mind.
Suddenly, Tao Yao, standing nearby, widened her eyes and pointed at Lin Xu, shouting:
"Master, Master! Your hair has turned golden! You've become the Golden Lion King!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow, picked up a mirror to check himself, and found that his hair had indeed turned golden.
And it's not just his hair; all the hair on his body has now changed, turning completely golden.
Lin Xu looked at it more closely and found that his hair had not changed color, but had undergone a fundamental qualitative change, turning into a new type of gold.
This gold is likely pure gold, but it is extremely hard, harder than some alloys.
Lin Xu sensed it slightly and discovered that he could now easily manipulate the hair on his body, and could launch these golden hairs at any time to attack the surroundings.
This weapon has a long range; it is effective at least within 500 meters.
Moreover, these hairs are imbued with the power of gold. Any substance struck by these hairs will undergo a slight transformation towards gold, resulting in a small amount of goldification.
Lin Xu touched his chin.
He will definitely not lack money from now on.
As long as he uses this ability to shoot at the surrounding rocks whenever he has free time, he can create brand new gold. The money he earns might not be enough to develop the island, but it's definitely enough to live on.
However, after a moment of surprise, Lin Xu carefully sensed his own power.
A thought struck him, and he instinctively adjusted his physical state.
The next moment, his golden fur gradually changed, turning back to black and becoming normal fur.
Tao Yao watched in amazement:
"Master, is this a second transformation? You've gained the ability to transform twice, just like the protagonists in comics?"
Lin Xu's lips twitched.
He had noticed before that Tao Yao often secretly looked through the books he brought when she had nothing to do.
He carried those entertainment books around as decorations, and he hardly ever read them himself.
But this peach fairy read through all those miscellaneous books and comics, and recently it seems to have even started secretly playing games.
All the strange knowledge in this guy's head comes from those entertainment materials.
Lin Xu:
"This isn't a second transformation; it's just a simple superpower."
Tao Yao was somewhat disappointed, but then she cheered up again:
"But even so, Master is still very handsome! To be able to turn your entire body into gold, you are the Golden Wheel King!"
Lin Xu reached out and ruffled Tao Yao's hair hard:
"What Golden Wheel King! I don't want to be that kind of villain who's destined to be killed!"
After playing with Tao Yao for a while, Lin Xu finally let go of the dizzy Tao Yao and sensed her supernatural abilities again.
His current golden superpower is indeed the ability to control gold.
The ability to transform hair into gold and shoot it out is just one application of this superpower.
The main ability of this superpower is to manipulate gold. Gold within a range of at least 500 meters will be affected by Lin Xu, undergoing slow deformation and reshaping to change its shape.
However, Lin Xu cannot currently launch the gold like a cannonball; he only has this ability when manipulating the hair-like gold.
However, this golden ability has a special use: it can absorb all kinds of gold to continuously forge and temper Lin Xu's own hair.
These hairs maintain a normal state and weight on ordinary days, but in reality, based on Lin Xu's vitality, they can absorb a corresponding amount of gold and store it in the "Golden Space".
When Lin Xu needs to release the gold, it can be forced out and attached to Lin Xu's hair.
The more gold contained in these hairs, the faster and more powerful Lin Xu's shots would be. Moreover, because of this ability's special growth-promoting effect, Lin Xu's hairs could grow back after being shot.
From now on, at least he won't have to worry about hair loss anymore.
While the ability to attach gold to hair is theoretically very powerful, Lin Xu still found it a bit strange. He preferred cool and domineering power and didn't really like this kind of power that used his own hair as a weapon.
But after carefully studying the superpower, he had to admit, it was truly amazing.
Because the ability to release hair is merely a manifestation of the power of gold.
The true use or name of this superpower should be called "King of Gold" or "King of Metals".
Because this ability has a latent power: the more gold Lin Xu absorbs and stores, the more powerfully he can influence various metals.
In other words, with this superpower, he can manipulate and influence not only gold, but also other types of metals.
Even after he absorbs 100 tons of gold, the deformation speed of ordinary metals will become extremely fast, making it easy for him to forge an alloy sword in a matter of seconds.
If he absorbs more than 1,000 tons of gold, he can even manipulate the metal remotely, fighting like Magneto.
This ability is also a late-game power; the more you accumulate, the stronger you become.
At this moment, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel fortunate that his first superpower was a life-saving ability.
Even with the Gold-type ability, absorbing more gold requires strong vitality. If Lin Xu doesn't have enough vitality, the amount of gold he can absorb is actually very limited; absorbing around 500 kilograms of gold would be his limit.
However, his vitality is now quite high, and he can still absorb at least 100 tons of gold.
As his vitality continues to increase, his corresponding potential for golden superpowers will also continue to grow.
Lin Xu couldn't help but look at the two tons of gold in his personal space.
Although he didn't know what Chen Shaojie and the others were going to do with the gold they were collecting, it seemed that the gold was just as useful to him. The more gold he had, the stronger he could become.
We will need to produce gold in large quantities in the future.
He also became even more interested in Chen Shaojie's assets on the island.
Chen Shaojie is so actively collecting gold, he must have a lot of gold reserves, right?
Besides his superpowers, Lin Xu couldn't help but re-examine the characteristics of the Golden Rose.
He also remembered that the Golden Rose had a characteristic called "King of Metals".
He had previously thought that this characteristic was simply a plant-based smelting plant that could help smelt various metals.
But now that he has discovered that his own golden powers also have similar abilities, he can't help but have some doubts about the characteristics of the Golden Rose.
Perhaps, like his superpower, the Golden Rose's characteristic isn't just for forging metal tools, but can also be used to manipulate weapons in combat.
This feature is not just a factory-like capability, but also a combat capability.
This golden rose may not be just a simple logistical plant; perhaps there are more ways to develop and utilize it.
However, Lin Xu didn't have much talent for plant development, and Tao Yao was more skilled at studying peaches and didn't know much about roses.
Therefore, it is still necessary to summon a fairy of the Golden Rose to better understand this Golden Rose.
Lin Xu decided that he could feed the plant more often so that it could produce its second supernatural fruit as soon as possible.
At that time, he can conjure a golden spirit and see what help the spirit can provide.
