Chapter 12 They're too easy to bully.
Light-based abilities can create a light source; the intense light can burn the enemy's eyes, but overall, they are not very offensive.
Most of them exist as support abilities; those with light-type abilities can heal the injured, and a very small number of them can purify the contamination of crystal cores.
It is a very rare superpower, but generally, light-type abilities do not require physical contact when healing.
Only Rong Shuyao, the female lead, needs to be treated and purified through physical contact.
"Ranran, I just gained my superpower, and I don't know much about it yet. Let me get used to it for a while."
After that, Xie Qingheng went on and on, but he didn't ask what Shan Ran's special ability was.
Their conversations were mostly like this: Xie Qingheng would talk the whole time, while Shan Ran would listen quietly.
They were both used to it.
Since Shan Ran didn't bring it up, Xie Qingheng wouldn't ask.
"By the way, Xie Huaimin has dark-type superpowers," Xie Qingheng said, mentioning his father again. "We are truly an unlikely father and son, our superpowers are so diametrically opposed, one black and one white."
Xie Qingheng gave a cold laugh and changed the subject.
After giving a few more instructions, the two said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Shan Ran hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell Xie Qingheng about the impending arrival of the nightmare beast.
It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but if Xie Qingheng acted strangely when the monster came, Xie Huaimin would definitely become suspicious.
Before she developed self-awareness, she didn't realize it, but now that she has, Shanran has noticed many things that are not right.
She is now very wary of Xie Huaimin.
Moreover, she believed that the Xie family had ways to protect themselves.
The issues between the Xie family and the Shan family can only be resolved when we go to the Second Continent.
The most urgent task now is to adapt to the new superpower I just acquired.
Exhausted after using the wings for the first time, Shan Ran felt weak all over, her limbs limp. She casually put on a nightgown and went downstairs.
I've been a bit lazy. I haven't stopped working almost every minute since I was reborn. Now that I have superpowers and the house is well-stocked, I don't want to go out shopping today.
I want to play with wings at home.
But she was worried that playing for too long would exhaust her. Just as she entered her mental world, she found the chibi horned eagle sleeping with several "zzz"s on its head. So she didn't disturb it, thinking she would eat something and rest first, and wait until her body recovered.
At this moment, Rhine was busy in the kitchen, preparing simple bread and eggs.
The bread machine popped up with a "ding" and the toasted bread was ready. Rhine picked up the bread, put it on a plate, spread jam on it, and placed a fried egg next to it.
As he watched Shan Ran walk towards him, Rhine's mind was suddenly filled with the image of snow-white snow, and his face instantly turned red.
"I... I can't cook. I can only make do with this simple dish. Please make do with this. I'll go out and buy some food later."
Shan Ran sat down in the restaurant and said casually, "This is enough, don't make things too complicated."
"Mm," Rhine responded and sat down opposite her.
He moved with great elegance, and ate without making a sound.
Shan Ran used to maintain some aristocratic etiquette, but now she is very casual. She finished her breakfast in a few bites, drank a cup of black coffee, and immediately felt that her strength had returned. Her invisible power bar was also slowly increasing.
She looked at the noble silver-haired young master in front of her and carefully asked, "Rhine, what was it like when you first discovered you had superpowers?"
Rhine swallowed the food in her mouth, looked up at Shan Ran, put down her utensils, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then answered.
"I was among the first to get a fever. I had a fever when I went to sleep in the early morning and was in a coma. When I woke up, I thought it was the next day, but it turned out that six or seven days had passed. When I woke up, I felt very tired, my body was weak, and I had no strength at all."
My family came over and told me what had happened in the past few days. They asked me to try using my superpowers. I was shocked when I learned everything, and in my excitement, wings sprouted from my back.
I've heard that some people can turn their hands directly into wings, which means they can only fly for a short time. My first time was when wings grew from my back. I don't know why there's such a difference. The Academy of Sciences and the Medical School are currently conducting urgent research on superpowers, but because it happened so suddenly, there aren't many research results yet.
The first time I spread my wings, it was for a very short time. It's said that everyone's first experience with superpowers is like that, so don't worry.
Shan Ran continued, "Does a little harpy eagle appear in your mind?"
Rhine nodded. "Yes, it's on a cliff. It's very majestic and imposing. I liked it the moment I saw it. I felt a strong sense of closeness to it."
When I learned that my parents were missing, I took the family plane to come here. After the plane took off, I felt the harpy eagle in my mind was very excited. At that moment, I clearly felt that my energy was much more abundant than when I woke up in the early morning. Harpy eagles love high altitudes, and even if it's not me flying, but sitting on an airplane, their superpowers are stronger. I guess other superpowered individuals are the same.
For example, fish improve faster and become stronger when they practice in water.
The Great Horned Eagle on the Cliff?
Shanran recalled the darkness in her mental world and that chibi-style horned eagle. How could they be so different?
She doesn't intend to reveal her differences. It's possible that her newly acquired superpower is still relatively weak, or it could be due to the unique nature of her superpower. These questions require comparison with other cases.
"However... you just got your powers and you can fly back and forth between Zone 2 for a whole day? I've seen many people use their powers for very short periods of time."
Rhine glanced at Shan Ran, "Based on multiple samples, experts can now confirm that the longer the fever lasts, the stronger the superpower that can be used when one wakes up. Even if they are both fire-type superpowers, someone who has had a fever for six days may be able to use a fireball the size of a fist, while someone who has had a fever for three days may only be able to use a small flame like a lighter."
As for how to improve, it seems the most common method is similar to doing practice tests; the more practice tests you do, the higher your score is likely to be.
Shanran nodded without saying a word.
Actually, there is another way to upgrade, which is to devour the core of the Nightmare Beast. The Nightmare Beast will appear in two days, and people will soon find out about it.
Rhine continued, "I didn't fly all day. I flew to Zone 2, picked up a lot of supplies from my parents' factory, and drove back. Those things were originally intended to be brought back by them..."
At this point, Rhine's tone became somber.
After a while, he looked up at Shanran and said, "I'll bring you some later. There's still plenty at the factory, so don't worry about keeping them."
Taking both superpowers and supplies is so embarrassing...
Shanran nodded, without refusing.
They were neighbors, and when the monster came, she would warn the other party and offer some help, as a form of payment in exchange.
After finishing breakfast, Rhine tidied up the dining table and the kitchen.
He had never done these kinds of chores at home before, so he inevitably stumbled and bumped along the way.
"Are you going to practice your superpowers today? I... can go with you."
Shan Ran's eyes lit up. She had just been thinking about practicing more, and now she had a sparring partner.
So she nodded, went upstairs to change her clothes, and prepared to go out.
When Shanran arrived at the wardrobe, she was at a loss.
If it has wings on its back, won't all these clothes be torn apart?
After thinking for a moment, Shanran took scissors and cut two slits in the back of a T-shirt, then put on a sports jacket before going downstairs.
She looked up at Rhine. "Turn around and let me see what's behind you."
Rhine obediently turned around.
He was wearing a black shirt with two very thin slits on the back, but the shirt was made of a very special, very soft material, and the slits were so thin that they were not clearly visible unless you looked closely.
Rhein knew what Shanran was looking at, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "For now, this is the only way. The family is rushing to make a special kind of clothing that can close up when the wings are retracted."
I've already asked them to expedite the process and make several more outfits according to your measurements.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Shanran and asked in a low voice, "What color do you like? I'll have them make a few more sets in black first, and then make some more according to your preferred style and send them over."
Looking into the other person's sincere eyes, Shan Ran's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, she just wanted a kiss to gain superpowers, but it seems the other person doesn't think that way.
And this person is so considerate...
She turned her head away guiltily, too embarrassed to look at Rhine, and said apologetically, "Don't be so nice to me. I just kissed you last night, that wasn't it..."
After receiving no response for a long time, she couldn't help but turn her head to look.
Rhine lowered his head, his eyes vacant, not knowing where he was looking, the corners of his eyes reddened, and there seemed to be some glittering in them.
His hands hung limply at his sides, his index finger unconsciously twitching as if trying to grasp something, but in the end he just returned to his original position in disappointment.
Shan Ran needs Meng Xinye's special abilities, and she also wants spatial abilities, as well as some very special abilities that are not mentioned in the book.
Moreover, fluid exchange isn't limited to kissing; doing other things might yield even greater benefits.
Shan Ran frowned. She decided to be decisive to avoid causing too much harm. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Rhine's voice.
"fine."
"Wh-what?"
Rhine looked up, managed a weak smile, his lips were pale, and he looked extremely fragile.
"It's okay, it's alright, you can do whatever you want, as long as I can do it."
Yamaran:..........
Don't do that, okay? You're too easy to bully!
Before Shanran could say anything more, Rhine interrupted her.
"Want to go out and practice now? Let's go together."
Rhein wasn't going to continue that topic. He quickly concealed the gloom in his eyes and looked up, regaining his composure.
He wore a gentle smile, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened.
Shan Ran glanced at him with a complicated expression, then nodded without saying anything more.
The two drove to a deserted area in the suburbs, a place that was usually deserted, and now even less so.
Shan Ran was once again carried into the sky by Rhine.
Today's flying experience was completely different from yesterday's. Yesterday, I just felt excited and had a lot of fun, but now I can clearly feel the little harpy eagle's eagerness in my mind's eye.
