Chapter 142 Jinjiang Exclusive
The Zhang family's expressions kept changing. Their initial joy at learning that their grandson/son had acquired special abilities gradually faded, and they became visibly panicked.
Lu Xuan soothed them, "Don't worry too much. It doesn't take much supernatural power to wilt a vegetable, but it's still not easy for Dafu to do it at his current level. It won't have much effect on humans."
The one who could really pose a threat to others is not Zhang Dafu, but him.
Lu Xuan said, "I'm telling you this so you know what's going on. A person with time abilities might not appear in a hundred thousand people. The one person who has great luck is just lucky. Children lack discretion in their actions. Without adult guidance, they could easily hurt themselves and others."
You can decide for yourself whether to tell him about the power of time. "
The Zhang family members calmed down again.
Mr. Zhang, who had the most experience, understood all the seriousness of the situation and said solemnly, "We'll discuss this carefully when we get back."
The Zhang family looked overjoyed when they arrived at Ship No. 1, but were filled with worry when they left, prompting Lu Qing and Lei Yan to come over and ask if there was something wrong with Dafu's health.
Not knowing what the Zhang family was going to do, Lu Xuan didn't say much about the power of time ability and just brushed it off.
Even though he showed his proficiency to the Zhang family, he actually couldn't be sure of how powerful his time ability was, including what he could do at his current level, without actual examples.
Can it take a person's life in an instant?
Can continuously transmitting time powers to a specific person extend their lifespan? And by how much?
He doesn't know how long other people can actually live, so how can he confirm this value?
There are too many issues that need to be confirmed.
Acquiring abilities is one thing, but having a sufficient understanding of the abilities and being able to use them with ease is another.
This ability is not easy to test on other people...
Lu Xuan looked through the glass window in the room at Ship No. 3 opposite, where the lights were still on, and instantly had an idea.
·
When Mr. Zhang and the other two returned to their room, the three children were already asleep.
Aunt Zhang noticed that their expressions were not right and asked, "What did Lu Xuan say to you?"
Ye Ping also looked at her husband curiously.
Old Master Zhang took out his pipe and took a puff. He raised his chin to Zhang Chengming and said, "Chengming, go ahead."
Zhang Chengming made sure that his eldest son was asleep before he whispered to them what Lu Xuan had said about the time ability.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Aunt Zhang said anxiously, "That sounds too scary. It's better not to tell Dafu about such horrific uses, so as not to scare the child."
Ye Ping nodded in agreement. "What if I use my abilities in the wrong place and end up going astray in the future?"
Zhang Wende, who usually has a low presence, disagreed. "So many people in this village are hoping to gain powerful superpowers. It would be a waste to keep a treasure unused. If we don't teach Dafu how to use it early on, what if he runs into danger somewhere we can't see?"
The child is still young and is under their protection, but doesn’t it take time for his abilities to improve?
If you wait until the child is older before letting him learn, he will be several years behind others, and his abilities may be wasted.
Zhang Wende said, "We, the elders, have raised him since he was little. Don't we know how sensible he is? With us watching over him, Dafu will definitely be good in the future."
Mr. Zhang also meant this. "Let's explain this to Dafu tomorrow. If he's afraid and doesn't want to use it, that's fine. But if he's not afraid, let him practice his ability more every day and strive to upgrade it as soon as possible."
Zhang Chengming said confidently: "Dafu will definitely not be afraid."
Children are sometimes braver than adults, and with Lu Chen by his side, Dafu is so happy that he can't sleep.
Aunt Zhang and Ye Ping looked at each other and saw that the men in the family had made up their minds. They understood that what they said made sense, and after thinking about it, they no longer objected.
However, Ye Ping hesitated and asked, "How exactly should we practice? Should we let Dafu practice with prey like Cheng Ming did?"
Grandpa Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Da Fu's abilities are different from Cheng Ming's. Rather than fighting, the most important thing is to accumulate more strength. Prepare a flowerpot for him to grow some vegetables. Use up his energy every day and then replenish it. It's safe and effective."
Eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Practice down-to-earth for a few years, and when you reach the age to get married, you should be able to support a small family on your own and achieve something.
Aunt Zhang and Ye Ping breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's a good idea. Let Dafu plant some vegetables every day!"
·
early morning.
Grandma Lin and her live-in son-in-law Wang Wuyue's mother, Zhou, came to cargo ship No. 3 together.
After entering the warehouse, Granny Lin discovered that the trough in the chicken coop was completely empty. A group of chicks chirped anxiously when they saw her come in, and quickly took the feed from the plastic box in the corner and poured it into the empty feeding bowl.
Mrs. Zhou was holding a broom and preparing to clean up the feces of poultry and livestock. Just as she raised her foot to step into the sheep pen, she suddenly heard Grandma Lin cry out.
"How come two chicks died?"
Granny Lin picked up two stiff chicks from the flock with a distressed look on her face. She wondered, "They were fine yesterday. It was warm in the warehouse and they shouldn't have frozen to death. How could they have died?"
It's not just strange that two chicks died. The other chicks were also acting abnormally today. They looked like starving ghosts reincarnated, and they were eating very fiercely.
Adult chickens are apparently quite normal... huh?
Granny Lin noticed something was amiss in the chicken coop, so she grabbed an empty basket and took a look around. When she came out, she looked dazed.
With a look of doubt on her face, she pulled Zhou aside and asked, "I remember we fed the chickens yesterday and picked up all the eggs, right?"
Zhou, who was also shocked, nodded affirmatively, "Of course!"
The villagers didn't mind her because she was a latecomer and assigned this job to her. In order not to make things difficult for her son, she would never make any mistakes.
She was very sure that she had picked up all the eggs from yesterday and not a single one was missed!
"Then why do the chicks look like they've been hungry for days, and the adult chickens seem like they want to lay a lifetime's worth of eggs in one night!?"
There are less than thirty adult pheasants raised in the village, including three roosters. It is already very good if the hens can lay fifteen eggs a day on average. Occasionally, they can lay a little over twenty eggs.
Today, I actually took more than sixty pills in one night!
Grandma Lin didn't understand and was greatly shocked.
She couldn't even help but grab a hen and look at its buttocks, fearing that there would be something wrong with the eggs it laid.
The result is of course that there is no problem.
But this matter was so unbelievable that the old lady hurried back and told others about it.
A group of women and even some curious young men rushed over to see the strange thing.
"Did she really lay over sixty eggs? Doesn't that mean a chicken can lay three or four eggs in one night?"
"Grandma Lin, didn't you forget to pick up the eggs yesterday?"
Granny Lin glared at the rambling boy and shouted, "Impossible! I delivered all the eggs I picked up yesterday to the village chief. Go ask around in the village; someone must have exchanged yesterday's eggs."
Aunt Liu nodded and said, "My family exchanged three eggs yesterday. When I got them, the chicken shit on them was still wet."
When the others heard this, their expressions became even more strange.
"In all my years, I've never seen so many eggs laid in one day."
"Will there be anything wrong with these eggs?"
"What could be the problem? If you're afraid of problems, don't eat it." Aunt Liu snorted, "If you don't dare to eat it, there are many people who dare to eat it."
Ever since Lu Xuan started growing tomatoes, the children in the village have become completely obsessed with the dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. They have to eat it every few days and will make a fuss if they are not allowed to have it made. The consumption of eggs has increased greatly.
Their daughter Yuanyuan also loves to eat it and always eats an extra bowl of rice every time.
Her family has been out of eggs for several days. It is rare to have so many eggs today. Even if you remove the fertilized eggs that are kept for hatching, there are still more left than usual. For the sake of her grandson, she has to buy more eggs.
The others also thought of going with Aunt Liu.
Who doesn’t have children yet?
Even if you don’t have children, who says adults can’t like scrambled eggs with tomatoes?
I finally got some more... no, a lot more eggs. No matter how they were laid, I’ll just change them first!
…
Lu Qing also felt strange after hearing about this.
"The egg laying is so strange, and the chicks' sudden increase in appetite is also quite strange." Lu Qing said worriedly, "Could they have some invisible illness?"
These chicks were hatched from pheasant eggs they collected during the extremely hot season. If they really died of disease, it would take a long time to hatch the next batch and raise them until they can lay eggs.
Lu Xuan said calmly, "Maybe he's just growing."
The audience who saw the entire 'crime process' last night exposed him on the spot:
[P's growth! It's clearly the result of you using your supernatural powers to artificially catalyze the chicks!]
[??? What's with using supernatural powers on a chicken? Is there such a thing?]
[I had something to do at home last night and didn't start the live broadcast. I actually missed such a great show? Can someone tell me what happened?]
【Let me tell you! 】
Many viewers couldn't help but tell what happened.
Last night, Lu Xuan went to Ship No. 3 in order to test the effect of his time ability, and planned to use the livestock he raised as test subjects.
The cattle and sheep were hard to come by and had to be kept for milking, so Lu Xuan didn't move. He was eyeing the pheasant.
Lu Xuan’s first target was the chicks.
Because the chick had just acquired the superpower and was not yet proficient in controlling the output of power, it ate too much energy in one breath and soon died of overeating.
When Lu Xuan saw that the chicks were so weak, he quickly turned to tormenting the hens.
I tried it carefully at first, and after finding that there was nothing wrong, I started to increase the dosage continuously. In the end, the overnourished hens started laying eggs like crazy.
By the time Lu Xuan had his fill, the hen had also started laying eggs.
Do you think that just because Granny Lin didn't see any problems with the chicken P stock, that means everything is really fine?
That was when Lu Xuan reacted and used his healing ability on the chicken to cover up the crime!
Can you believe that the first time the precious seventh-level healing power was used was by a group of hens?!
Many viewers who were watching the live broadcast at that time were angered to tears by the rude anchor. Those with bad tempers even cursed at Lu Xuan, making Lu Xuan experience for the first time in all his long live broadcasts what it felt like to be criticized and cursed by thousands of people.
[…Although, hens can lay eggs. Scrambled eggs, steamed eggs, poached eggs, salted eggs, which one haven't you tried? It's still important to keep the hens.]
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement. What's wrong with using it on hens?
This is called using good steel on the blade.
After gaining some control over the hen, he sent a wave of energy to the chicks.
At that time, there was no obvious change, and the chicks did not grow bigger, but their appetite suddenly increased today, which obviously showed that yesterday's energy was not wasted.
The growth cycle has been artificially accelerated, and the nutrition needed by the body has doubled. How can the appetite not be large?
However, chickens are too small and their genes are too different from humans, so their reference value is not high.
To compare it with humans, it would be best to try it on pigs.
If you really can't find pigs, you can use other medium or large animals.
…
In order to get more useful information as soon as possible, Lu Xuan rarely went out with the hunting team.
Not just today, but in the next few days, we will catch suitable prey and conduct various experiments regardless of rain or shine.
Use the time ability to continuously accelerate the growth cycle of prey and speed up their life consumption. While consuming, use the therapeutic device to observe the changes in the animal's physical data at any time.
During this period, I also tried to test the upper limit of the healing ability, such as making an animal only have one breath left and then reviving it, and then killing it after the test.
Animals that were killed: I would really thank you :)
In addition, the audience relayed to Lu Xuan the level of existing healing abilities in the Star Alliance, and Lu Xuan soon had an idea of the extent to which he could use his healing abilities.
The time ability is a little more troublesome.
Fermenting wine or sauerkraut does not consume much superpowers.
But once the object becomes a living organism, especially a large one, the consumption immediately increases exponentially.
A low-level time-ability user may only be able to affect the lifespan of a specific life form for one or two days after exhausting all his strength, and it will take about one or two days to recover the exhausted strength.
Suppose you want to deprive someone of a year's life, then you will also need to spend all your own supernatural powers for a year on the other person, which is completely not worth the loss.
But if it comes to Lu Xuan's level, the situation is completely different.
With the seventh-level time ability, whether it is to reverse time and make people regress to a point where there is no room for regression, or to accelerate time and make people age to the end of their lifespan, it is all done with ease. It is a walking life harvester that will kill anyone who touches it.
Lu Xuan even discovered another use for the time ability during the experiment.
Time stands still.
It doesn't mean that the time of everyone or a certain area is paused, but only the time of specific objects is stopped.
A person whose time has been stopped will have his heart stop beating and his blood no longer flows, but he will not die and can still survive after his supernatural powers are removed.
The specific stopping time varies according to the level of supernatural power, and it may be a few seconds, minutes, hours, or even months or years.
The time was too short for Lu Xuan to determine his limit, but with the amount of energy he consumed, it should not be a problem for him to keep a person/animal in stasis for more than a year.
It’s hard to say more, but the period may be further extended by continuously adding superpowers.
In any case, the time ability is more powerful than Lu Xuan expected.
If I could have this ability at the end of the world, wouldn't I be able to easily kill those high-level mutated animals and plants that even vampire vines have a hard time dealing with when time is frozen?
After imagining that scene, Lu Xuan had the urge for the first time to travel back to the end of the world and kill everyone.
The audience in the live broadcast room accompanied Lu Xuan to personally try out the various possibilities of time powers, and they were also amazed.
[Too strong! Really too strong!]
[With the ability to time, anyone who offends the anchor will have their life drained in minutes! Are you afraid?!]
[Without the ability to time, it would be easy for the anchor to kill someone.]
[…That makes perfect sense, I can’t refute it at all.]
[So, wouldn't the time ability be left unused in the hands of the streamer???]
Lu Xuan: “…it won’t be left idle.”
What he is facing now is mainly natural disasters, and there is really not much room for his time ability to be used in combat.
Even if you encounter a ferocious beast, any ordinary superpower or even the direct use of thermal weapons is enough to deal with it.
So, no matter what, the real use of the time ability ultimately comes down to the simple things like pickling vegetables, brewing wine, and planting.
For him, this is the correct way to activate the time ability during the catastrophe period.
Lu Xuan said, "We currently have too few chickens. At a normal rate, it takes four months for chicks to lay eggs. That's too slow. I plan to use my supernatural powers to reduce that time to two months. That way, by the end of the rainy season, we'll have over two hundred adult chickens."
Originally, this time could be further reduced, but considering that the speed is too fast and the nutrition cannot keep up, the chicks do not have time to accumulate enough flavor substances, and the taste of the meat and eggs may be as bland as those produced in modern greenhouses. Reducing the time by half should be enough.
"The eggs that are still incubating can also be hatched at double the speed. We will continue to transfer superpowers to these adult chickens. We will strive to harvest five to eight hundred eggs every day during the extreme cold season, and completely achieve egg freedom."
Live broadcast audience: ...
It does sound exciting, and this usage is indeed very practical.
But compared to the cheats among cheats such as Deprive of Life and Time Stop, I still cannot accept this kind of usage!!!
Lu Xuan didn't care whether they could accept it or not.
It is he who has the superpowers, and it is his freedom to use them as he pleases.
Can't stand it?
After that, he won't eat any eggs, pickled vegetables, pickled bamboo shoots, or fruit wine. :)
…
When Lu Xuan's research on time abilities came to an end, the hunting team was not idle either.
When they sailed around the other side of the mountain to hunt, they were lucky enough to find new supplies, a wild crop that even Lu Xuan didn't have.
