Chapter 82 Lei Yan Awakens
[Holy crap!!! My superpowers have truly awakened!]
[With a one in ten chance, she actually ran into him? I'm jealous. Her luck is just too good.]
[Hahaha! Big sister is awesome! Today's gift is for you!]
[It's a pity that I haven't awakened any powerful attacks like ice, fire, or lightning. Otherwise, I could have joined the hunting team and done something great.]
Water-based abilities are also great. It's the hottest season over there, and water is scarce everywhere. With water-based abilities, at least we don't have to worry about running out of water.
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said that water-based attacks are not strong?"
[No one needs to tell me, water-based abilities are logistical abilities, and this is recognized by the Star Alliance.]
[Although the Wood Element has no combat power, it is indispensable for the production of natural food. The Water Element is a bit useless.
[There are machines for watering plants, but water systems are not necessary. They are probably most welcome on a few water-scarce planets with unique environments and relatively backward technology.]
Is the host trying to say that Water-types can condense water arrows or attack with water balls? But Ice-types' ice arrows are more lethal, and they can even freeze enemies directly, which Water-types can't do. Earth-types' earth arrows are even more powerful than Water-types.
Lu Xuan said: "Naive."
At the end of the world, the water-based mutants in his base were best at covering the enemy's head with a water ball and drowning them. The more powerful ones could even drain the water from the human body and suck them dry.
Just based on these two methods, no one dares to say that water-based mutants are combat losers.
However, the two moves would inevitably sound a bit cruel if they were spoken out, so Lu Xuan did not say them out loud.
"Is this magic?" Lu Qing looked at the water ball in her hand, her eyes shining with excitement.
Lu Chen almost pounced on her to carefully observe the water ball.
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Water magic is quite good. It can be used for drinking water and watering the fields. If you can condense water arrows, you can also gain a certain amount of attack power."
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of half-meter-long water arrows condensed behind him.
Lu Xuan took out a pile of wooden boards from the space and threw them into the air. Water arrows shot out immediately and all the wooden boards were penetrated instantly.
Lu Qing became even more excited. "I want to learn this! With this, I can hunt too! I won't be afraid of danger anymore."
Lu Xuan reminded him, "When you first awaken, your strength is insufficient. You can only concentrate ten water arrows before your energy is exhausted. If you really encounter danger, it would be more effective to use a tranquilizer gun."
After hearing this, Lu Qing calmed down a little and said, "That's right."
It was so difficult for her to even condense a water ball, so it was hard to say when she would be able to condense a water arrow. She should be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time.
Lu Qing thought of Lei Yan who was still in a coma and said expectantly, "I wonder if your brother-in-law can obtain the immortal technique."
Lu Xuan did not give any guarantees, but only said: "It depends on his luck."
·
Two days later, Lei Yan woke up safely, and to the surprise of all the audience, he awakened his thunder ability.
The live broadcast room was completely crazy.
[Awakened again! And it's the most powerful lightning ability among the regular types! This is unscientific!!!]
[What happened to the one in ten chance? How did it suddenly skyrocket to 100% awakening when I got to the host's house? There's something fishy going on!]
Is it because Lei Yan's last name is Lei that he awakened the Lightning Element?! Is it too late for me to change my last name now?
[Is the person above driven crazy? How could it possibly work? It's just a coincidence.]
【I want this kind of coincidence too! 】
[Water conducts electricity, and the couple's abilities complement each other perfectly, achieving a 1+1>2 effect. It's truly a coincidence. Even awakening a single ability feels like a mouthful of dog food.]
Not only were the people in the live broadcast room excited, but the villagers were even more excited when they learned that the couple had obtained the magic.
"How did you acquire the immortal arts?"
"Did you also see the immortal? What does an immortal look like?"
"Show us now! What magic did you acquire? Do you have any magic that can induce childbirth?"
Lu Qing and Lei Yan were quite proud of their newfound abilities, so they took the opportunity to demonstrate them in public.
One of them condensed a water ball and threw it on the ground, soaking it. The other took out a piece of wood and shot out a thin lightning from his fingertips, leaving a charred mark the size of a fist on the wood.
The villagers opened their mouths in shock. It was really magic!
Water-based magic, and...is that falling lightning?
The ancients have always had a deep fear of thunder and lightning. After discovering that Lei Yan could actually control thunder and lightning, the villagers looked at him with awe.
Among them, Xiong Mao, who was the most obsessed with becoming stronger, had a scorching gaze as if he wanted to eat Lei Yan.
He couldn't wait to ask Lu Xuan, "Did you speak well of them in front of the immortals so that they could obtain the immortal arts? Can you also speak well of them for me so that I can obtain the immortal arts as well?"
Xiong Mao's words exploded in the villagers' minds like a thunderclap, waking them all up.
yes!
Before, they thought that the magic was exclusive to Lu Xuan. Now that Lu Qing and Lei Yan can obtain the magic, why can't they fight for it?
If they had the same abilities as Lu Xuan, wouldn't they also be able to get a lot of extra material benefits?
Many people's minds inevitably began to wander.
Lu Xuan didn't say anything final. "Not yet. Maybe there will be a chance in the future."
When the villagers heard that there was no direct rejection, they immediately became excited.
As long as Lu Xuan doesn’t explicitly say it’s impossible, there is hope!
Young and strong people who are pursuing the goal of improving their strength are full of expectations for the future, and some people even begin to fantasize about what kind of superpowers they want.
Zhang Chengming and Li Jing agreed, both saying, "I want the Wood Elemental Immortal Technique. With the ability to stimulate growth, we can also stimulate the growth of as much food as we want."
Li Tuo said, "Then I want the wind element! It can grind pork into such fine pieces. It must be very powerful when encountering wild beasts."
"The most powerful is of course the Thunder element. Any ability can be compared to thunder from the sky." Xiong Mao said firmly: "With the Thunder element magic, no jackals, tigers or leopards can be my opponents!"
Chen Rong also joined in the fun and said, "My request isn't high. I just hope that my speed can become extremely fast. I wonder if there is such a magic. If there is, I will be the first to run away no matter what danger I encounter in the future."
Wucheng Wuyang and his son chose the water system in tacit agreement.
In their opinion, the power of the compound crossbow provided by Lu Xuan was enough to deal with various beasts, and there was no need to increase the combat effectiveness.
The disaster will pass sooner or later, and when the situation stabilizes, it is hard to say whether those with strong aggressiveness will be feared and persecuted by those in power.
It is better to choose a water system that seems harmless but is actually indispensable to humans.
The reason why the most popular wood-type magic was not chosen is, on the one hand, because it is similar to the attack-type magic, and it is easy to be deified and arouse fear; on the other hand, it is also because the wood-type magic is so powerful that it may not be easy for ordinary people to obtain it.
If you can't get the water element, then the earth element is also a good choice.
When they are too old to hunt, earth-related abilities can help them turn the soil more easily.
Everyone's reasons for choosing superpowers were very reasonable, but the audience in the live broadcast room rolled their eyes.
You guys are so beautiful! Do you really think you can have superpowers just because you want them? You're still being picky.
Even if the host can really get the genetic evolution liquid in the future, the amount will never be enough to supply the whole village, and it is even more impossible to awaken one by drinking it.
Putting aside Lu Qing and Lei Yan, there are only five people in the village who can awaken. To use a saying from ancient times, it is smoke rising from their ancestral graves.
The most outrageous thing was the younger brother Lu Chen, who actually said with a dreamy look on his face, "My brother is so powerful, I also want to have the same magic skills as him."
Wow, this guy wants it all.
It turns out that the bolder a person is, the more productive he is. He is worthy of being the host's younger brother. He dares to think more than others!
Of course, possessing "magic arts" is not always a good thing.
Lei Yan had been in a coma for two days and was already starving. Lu Qing quickly brought out a large amount of rice and stewed spare ribs, braised pork, braised pork elbow and other main dishes that she had prepared in advance.
Then the surrounding villagers looked at Lei Yan in a daze as he sucked in the air.
A bowl of rice was finished in just a few mouthfuls, a large plate of braised pork was gone in the blink of an eye, and the cleaned pork bones soon piled up on the table.
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open.
This appetite is too big! Almost catching up with Lu Xuan.
The men who were on good terms with Lei Yan couldn't help but ask, "Eat slowly, don't eat too much and fill your stomach."
"That's right, if you eat too fast you won't feel full, and then you'll feel uncomfortable after you've recovered."
Lu Xuan said, "Let him eat. After possessing the immortal arts, one's appetite will increase. It's easy for him to eat two or three kilograms of rice and five or six kilograms of meat in one meal."
Lu Qing is the same.
She used to be very strong and had a big appetite, and now she is even bigger, not much less than the big man Lei Yan.
Everyone gasped when they heard this, "So he will have to eat so much every meal from now on?" Does the Lu family have another glutton?
Lu Xuan said, "Today I was extremely hungry after sleeping for two days. I should eat one-third to one-quarter less in the future."
Everyone: “…” That’s a lot.
Many people began to count on their fingers how much food the Lu family needed to consume in a day.
Lei Yan would eat about ten kilograms of rice, vegetables and meat in one meal, and Lu Xuan and Lu Qing would probably eat about the same. The three of them would eat thirty kilograms in one meal, which means eighty to ninety kilograms a day.
Lu Chen was just a tiny kid with no magical powers and couldn't eat much. Even if he made a round number, it would be a total of 100 kilograms.
By this calculation, the Lu family, with only four people, consumes almost 3,000 kilograms of food every month!
hiss!
This is three thousand pounds!
Even the Li family, the Zhang family, Xiong Mao, Liu Daxi and other wealthy families changed their expressions after receiving this data.
There was so much food, it was almost as much as their entire family assets!
They used to fantasize that they could also be like the Lu family, where the whole family had magical powers.
Nowadays, it seems that it is enough for a family to have one person who knows magic. They really can't afford more than that.
If Lu Xuan could not use his wood-related abilities to induce birth at any time, the tens of thousands of kilograms of grain stored in the capital city might not be enough to last until the disaster was over.
·
Because the village is very busy every day, everyone watched the excitement at Lu's house for a while and then dispersed.
After a full stomach, Lei Yan perked up when he learned they were going to water the fields. He asked his family, "How's our field? Have we planted the seeds?"
Lu Qing, full of energy after acquiring her new ability, laughed heartily. "The seedlings have already grown to calf height, but the weeds are growing fast too. The villagers have been busy weeding and watering the crops these past two days. Gathering and hunting have been moved to the mornings, and we'll be back to plant the crops in the afternoons."
The days of balancing both ends are naturally not as easy as before, but no one feels it is hard.
How can growing crops be called hard work?
Isn't this how they got by in the past?
The harder they work, the more at ease they feel, because the busyness now will turn into food that can fill their stomachs in the future. Just thinking about it makes them feel full of energy.
When Lei Yan heard this, he couldn't wait to go to the field with them.
When they arrived at the place, before Lei Yan had time to marvel at the lush green seedlings, he was startled by the misty scene in the field.
"What's this!?"
