Even though Qingzhang was right next to her, talking about everything in this era, in Ji Yueyao's mind, it all felt like a dream, unreal.
"She'll be arriving at the Xiyu base soon, so it's best to let her know what's going on there." Qiao Ying suddenly said, turning her head. Perhaps because Ji Yueyao looked so harmless, even the usually vigilant Qiao Ying didn't bother to be wary of her.
Qing Zhang nodded upon hearing this, and sighed inwardly as he looked at Ji Yueyao, who had a blank expression. Even if she understood this era, she wouldn't be able to live a good life here in her current state.
"The current leader of the Xiyu Base is Yu Zhenlong, an ice-type ability user. His forces are mainly divided into five departments: the collection department, the defense department, the supply department, the invasion department, and the living department. Each department has ten squads. Sister Qiao is the captain of the sixth squad of the collection department."
"A superhuman?" After hearing so much, Ji Yueyao seemed to have only grasped this one keyword. Although she was trying her best to digest what she knew, her brain was still in a state of confusion.
Qiao Ying stretched and looked at the base gate not far away, feeling a sense of relief. "Superhumans are people who are not mutated and are born after absorbing superhuman meteorites."
"..." Ji Yueyao was completely bewildered, "A meteorite with supernatural abilities?"
Qingzhang sighed and looked helplessly at Qiao Ying in front of him.
"This is it." Qiao Ying felt numb from the burning gaze behind her, rolled her eyes, and carefully took out a palm-sized gray stone from her backpack. She seemed to be in a very good mood. "This is our haul this time. If we hand it over to the base, we can probably get three hundred points. Um... Ji Yueyao, what's with that expression?"
Indeed, Ji Yueyao had a "Are you kidding me?" look on her face at this moment.
It's no wonder she was so disappointed. In novels, there are always beautiful, colorless crystal cores and such. What on earth is that grayish stone?!
"Look closely." Qiao Ying impatiently moved Ji Yueyao's head so that her eyes could clearly see the patterns on the stone.
It was only then that Ji Yueyao noticed that the gray stones were covered with dense patterns. Although there was no particular pattern, they gave people a strange sense of beauty.
"This stone is a superpower meteorite. It fell to Earth a hundred years ago along with meteorites that could mutate humans. Because these meteorites are extremely rare, although superpowers can indeed be inherited by the next generation, there are not many people who are qualified to possess them."
It has to be said that Ji Yueyao was now filled with intense curiosity. No one is immune to things like superpowers. "How does this meteorite turn someone into a superpowered person?"
"Hold it in your hand. As long as your body can resonate with the supernatural meteorite, all the power on this meteorite will belong to you." Qiao Ying squeezed the meteorite in her hand and smiled. "However, some people may not be able to use the power directly even if they absorb it. Perhaps it will be activated under certain conditions, but it is also possible that they will never be able to use it in their entire lives."
"Does that mean the more supernatural meteorites that can resonate with people, the more supernatural abilities one can possess?" Ji Yueyao asked, raising her eyes.
"Dream on. The human body simply cannot withstand too many superpowers." Qing Zhang shook his head. "A person can only absorb a maximum of two superpower meteorites. And do you think superpower meteorites are everywhere and can be found anywhere? This one was found by me and Sister Qiao after risking our lives for more than two months."
Ji Yueyao nodded, suddenly feeling a longing for that supernatural meteorite. "Then why doesn't Sister Qiao absorb the power of this stone? Is it because she can't resonate with it?"
“I never intended to take the energy from this meteorite.” Qiao Ying shook her head. She had naturally seen through Ji Yueyao’s thoughts about the meteorite. She shook her head and said, “Handing over a meteorite with supernatural abilities can earn me 300 points at the Xiyu Base. 300 points is enough for my accommodation and food expenses for a whole year, and it can also provide better treatment for my brother…” Qiao Ying’s voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and her mood became depressed.
