"Hey, trash, do you have any magic pills that can give you superpowers?"
Min Qiu frowned. She was a water-based ability user, and as everyone knew, water-based abilities were the weakest in terms of both attack and defense among all abilities. She wanted to stand out from the crowd and live a carefree life; only with immense power could she feel at ease.
However, water-based powers wouldn't offer her much help in the short term to gain significant strength. For now, Min Qiu could only try to find a solution from that mysterious and malicious system. Sigh, she really didn't want to be dealing with a tiger.
Min Qiu hid in a small rented room, closed his eyes, and communicated with the post-apocalyptic powerhouse system.
"Hey, trash, are you frozen? I'm talking to you, if you're not dead, say something." Min Qiu asked impatiently again. What kind of doomsday strongman system is this? I've called it so many times and it doesn't respond. It's obviously a piece of trash with no chance of being recycled, a useless piece of waste.
As expected of a top-tier product from an advanced civilization, the original owner absorbed its memories in just three or four minutes. Not only did she experience no discomfort, but the vast amount of memories flowed into her vast ocean like orderly rivers. Ji Xiaoxiao sorted through the memories and found that she could remember every single one without any omissions.
"Host, the system is here." Ji Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk to Min Qiu, but with the slave contract in place, how could she not say anything when Min Qiu asked her directly?
Ji Xiaoxiao disliked the feeling of being controlled and manipulated, and her tone became somewhat cold and hard. Min Qiu didn't notice anything amiss; a cold and hard tone was normal for a system that didn't understand love.
"Are there any drugs that can activate superpowers?"
Min Qiu, with a self-righteous air, demanded that Ji Xiaoxiao take what didn't belong to her.
Unable to defy the bondage of the slave contract, Ji Xiaoxiao replied, "Yes, host."
“Fine, give it to me,” Min Qiutian said shamelessly.
Ji Xiaoxiao really didn't want to give Min Qiu a single penny, but she couldn't control her impulsive hands and mouth, and the lowest quality Life-Giving Pill ended up in Min Qiu's palm out of thin air.
"This is a Life-Giving Pill, which can stimulate the body's potential. Once ingested, there is a certain chance of developing supernatural abilities," Ji Xiaoxiao explained.
Min Qiu looked down at the Life-Giving Pill in his palm. The pill was round and snow-white, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose. Min Qiu's mind was shaken, and the threshold of the first level of water-based superpowers was somewhat loosened.
"Good stuff," Min Qiu thought to himself.
Without a second thought, Min Qiu swallowed the lowest quality Life-Giving Pill in one gulp.
The Life-Giving Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, flowing down his throat and into his abdomen. Min Qiu felt a burning sensation all over his body, his eight extraordinary meridians swollen and painful, and tiny pores gradually oozed blood beads.
"It hurts, it hurts so much... Waaah, I don't want to die."
Min Qiu rolled around in the small rented room, the floor covered with black blood that smelled foul.
After a while, Min Qiu fell into a coma.
Ji Xiaoxiao remained in Min Qiu's consciousness space, watching helplessly as Min Qiu suffered unbearable pain. If it weren't for that damned slave contract, Ji Xiaoxiao wouldn't have given her the lowest quality life-saving pill, but rather a highly poisonous pill coated with arsenic and arsenic trioxide.
"Eat, I bet you'll eat yourself to death."
Ji Xiaoxiao was such a pure and naive child in the original owner's life. Min Qiu wanted a miraculous elixir to activate supernatural abilities, but he didn't specify how good it had to be. Ji Xiaoxiao took out the lowest quality life-giving elixir because she was forced by the slave contract and had no other choice.
Judging from the original owner's experience, it would be better to feed the Life-Giving Pill to pigs and dogs than to give it to Min Qiu, who is worse than a beast. At least they could fatten him up and eat some meat to satisfy their cravings.
The Life-Giving Pill is the only elixir that can activate supernatural abilities. Even the lowest quality Life-Giving Pill is still a Life-Giving Pill; its effects won't change because of its inferior quality. Min Qiu is dissatisfied with his water-based supernatural ability; he should know that a snake's heart can't swallow an elephant—too much of a good thing will only lead to its demise.
The original owner was naive and ignorant. When Min Qiu asked it for a miraculous elixir to activate its supernatural abilities, the original owner readily produced a Life-Giving Pill, the highest quality one at that. Min Qiu consumed the Life-Giving Pill, cleansing its essence and marrow, rebuilding its constitution, activating its five elemental abilities, and ascending to the pinnacle of power.
The Life-Giving Pill has the effect of cleansing the marrow and reshaping the body's foundation. The higher the grade of the Life-Giving Pill, the better it cleanses the marrow and reshapes the body. However, every medicine has its side effects. While the Life-Giving Pill's effects spread throughout the body and transform it, residual impurities will remain in the meridians, greatly hindering future cultivation. In severe cases, it can even endanger life.
When one gear breaks down, how can the whole machine remain unscathed? Ji Xiaoxiao gave Min Qiu the lowest quality life-saving pill, clinging to a sliver of hope that Min Qiu would suddenly die. With her master dead, the slave contract was meaningless, and Ji Xiaoxiao's regaining her freedom was not a dream.
Ji Xiaoxiao had high hopes, but reality slapped her hard in the face.
After a night, Min Qiu woke up in a daze.
"So ugly." The stench was so strong that it made Min Qiu dizzy.
I rushed into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and water gushed out from the showerhead.
When the apocalypse first arrived, water and electricity were still working normally.
After washing and cleaning, Min Qiu returned to the living room and conducted a test with a blank expression.
"Hmm..." The stench lingered in the tightly closed rented room, swirling around in this confined space. Min Qiu focused intently on controlling her body's strength; the bulging veins on her forehead revealed just how terrifying the power she was secretly exerting.
"Metal element ability, wood element ability, fire element ability, earth element ability, plus water element ability, I have five element abilities now." Min Qiu looked at his fair hands in disbelief.
Min Qiu played for a long time, and time gradually calmed the excitement in her heart.
"Trash, if you have such a good thing, why didn't you tell me?" Min Qiu felt that the system had ulterior motives. It said it would help her become an unparalleled powerhouse, but it didn't even take out something as good as the Life-Giving Pill. It was clear that what it was thinking was not what it said.
