Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Oh, Too Weak
Yu Li compared his supernatural powers in this life with those in his previous life.
The superpower she awakened in her previous life was strength. As long as she was not dead or injured, the power in her body would be endless, allowing her to be invincible and fight continuously.
If her body had not been polluted later, with the pollution level in her body increasing, and if she had not finally collapsed, she might not have died.
Gene warriors never die in battle, but from pollution.
This is their fate.
It is also the fate of all human beings after the end of the world. One hundred years after the end of the world, human beings are still trying to find ways to purify pollution and try to save the world that has become a wasteland.
After being in this world for so long, Yu Li finally confirmed that the people in this world cannot awaken.
Because it is peaceful here, it has not experienced an apocalypse that could destroy everything. The world's magnetic field is very stable and will not change the aura of living things, causing humans and creatures to awaken or mutate.
Only Yu Li is an exception.
Her body is the daughter of the second branch of the Yu family in Qingshi Village, but her soul is not.
Due to the infusion of her soul, when she became the "Yu Li" of this world, this body also changed, allowing her to luckily enter the awakening period and awaken her life abilities.
Of course, due to the stability of the magnetic field in this world, her abilities are very weak.
Being able to awaken is already a blessing, but it does not mean that the superpowers can be as powerful as those genetic warriors in the end times. That is the result of a special environment.
Superpowers can be grown and strengthened through practice.
There is a kind of energy in the chaotic magnetic field of the end of the world. You can absorb it to cultivate superpowers and strengthen your superpowers.
There is no such magnetic field in this world. Even if she spends her whole life, her supernatural powers may not increase much.
Yu Li was calm about this.
After coming to this world, when her power was infinitely weakened to less than one tenth of that in her previous life, she had already accepted this.
Fortunately, although the original owner was a girl, her strength was not weak. When her soul was injected, it somewhat enhanced the strength of this body. Although it is not yet enough to fight against alien species, it is enough for self-protection at present.
After all, this world is full of ordinary people, and there are no such scary things as alien species.
She can also continue to practice physical skills, which can also increase her strength.
In the darkness, Yu Li reached out and grabbed the hand of Fu Wenxiao beside him.
He was sleeping soundly and didn't react when his hand was grabbed.
Yu Li knew that as long as she didn't strangle him and make him feel in danger, he would generally not wake up. His body was too weak, so weak that he would fall into a deep sleep as long as there was no danger.
Yu Li gave him some life force for testing.
But after a while, her face turned pale and she lay down weakly.
After the test, she realized once again how weak her awakened life power was. It was really just a tiny bit, like a strand of hair. After inputting it once, it could only temporarily relieve Fu Wenxiao's physical discomfort, and there would be no more.
If it happened in the previous life, this would be so weak that it would be shocking, almost nothing.
It’s really... too weak, too weak.
Yu Li was too embarrassed to speak up. If her superpowers were like this in her previous life, she would be too embarrassed to tell others that she had awakened superpowers.
Fortunately, she still had strength and physical skills, so she was not unable to protect herself. Otherwise, relying on this life power...
Ugh, too weak.
Yu Li took a deep breath. The consumption of her supernatural powers made her body extremely tired and her consciousness began to become blurry.
Before going to bed, she thought that if her body became so weak every time she used her supernatural powers, she would have to eat more.
This world does not have the apocalyptic magnetic field for her to cultivate superpowers, so she can only absorb nutrients from food and convert them into superpowers, but the superpowers that can be converted are limited.
-
When Yu Li woke up again, it was already bright outside.
She sat up hungrily, her stomach so hungry that she wanted to swallow a cow. She turned around and saw Fu Wenxiao sitting by the window reading a book. She didn't know how long he had been up.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and said softly, "Li Niang is awake. Are you hungry?"
"I'm so hungry." Yu Li said. Her stomach was growling loudly, and the sound was so loud that she thought he must have heard it, otherwise he wouldn't have asked her if she was hungry.
Fu Wenxiao said, "It's just in time. It's almost noon. Mother should have prepared dinner."
Yu Li got up quickly.
My legs felt a little weak when I got out of bed. I didn’t know if it was because I was hungry or because I had exhausted my supernatural powers last night.
She hurriedly put on her clothes, slipped on her shoes and ran to the kitchen, looking like a starving ghost, even though she had just eaten in the early morning.
Fu Wenxiao: “…”Are you so hungry?
Fu Wenxiao slowly turned his head and looked out the window. The autumn sun was shining brightly outside the eaves.
His hand was pressed on the open pages of the book. He did not read a single word for the whole morning, but was thinking about his body.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but when he woke up today, he felt lighter. Unlike in the past, when he woke up in a daze, his body was not heavy and accompanied by subtle pain. The icy pain that was always there and penetrated into his bones seemed to have disappeared a little.
He had been tossing and turning last night, so today he would probably be like Yu Li and sleep until noon.
But he woke up very early.
He didn't feel that uncomfortable after waking up, and his mental state was even quite good, allowing him to sit here and read.
Fu Wenxiao really couldn't think of a reason, so he gave up for the time being.
Perhaps it was because she woke up that he breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood improved, along with his mental state, which in turn affected his body.
A person's emotions can indeed affect the state of the body.
**
Yu Li came to the kitchen and received happy stickers from the two children.
They were helping Zhou light the fire and cook. They were surprised and happy to see her and rushed over to hug her.
Yu Li hugged one of them with his arms, put his face close to them, stared at the pot on the stove, and asked, "Mom, what are we having for dinner today? I'm so hungry!"
Zhou said, "Just wait a moment, it will be ready. I made bacon rice. I exchanged a piece of bacon with Da Zhuang next door a while ago, so it's just right to make it today."
The bacon at home had been eaten up long ago, but there was still some at Aunt Zhou's house. Knowing that she loved it, she went to exchange it for a piece.
Thinking that she would be hungry when she woke up, I planned to make her bacon rice, which would be very filling.
Yu Li's eyes lit up.
When she came into this world, the first meat she ate was bacon rice, and she could never forget the taste.
The autumn heat is extremely powerful and the weather is still hot. The bacon rice is a bit greasy and people with a poor appetite like Fu Wenxiao definitely cannot eat it.
For Yu Li, there was no possibility of not being able to eat.
She loved eating it.
Zhou made a big pot of bacon rice, which was not only large in quantity but also delicious, even better than the bacon rice made by Yu Jin.
Yu Li buried his head in eating.
Zhou brought out a pot of vegetable soup and a bowl of steamed egg from the kitchen, and told Yu Li to eat slowly and not to choke.
She didn't sit down to eat, but continued to work in the kitchen, making scallion pancakes. She stacked the pancakes one by one in a bamboo basket and brought them over for people to eat.
The two children cried out, their eyes sparkling, there was so much food today.
When they saw Yu Li holding the pancake in one hand and chopsticks in the other, taking a few mouthfuls of bacon rice and then a bite of the pancake, and eating up all the bacon rice and pancake, the two children were stunned.
Although Yu Li ate a lot in the past, she was still restrained. But today she ate several times more than before.
While eating, Zhou and Yu Li said that Yu Yin came over in the morning and was very happy to learn that she woke up in the middle of the night. However, since she was still sleeping, he did not come to disturb her and left quickly.
Because Yuzhu is still lying in bed and there is a lot of housework to do, Yuyin has been coming to learn embroidery recently and helping out at home.
And Boss Tu also delivered some things over early in the morning.
When Boss Tu learned that Yu Li had woken up, he was relieved and asked Zhou to tell Yu Li to rest at home for a few more days and take good care of her body and not to rush to work in the butcher shop.
They used to think she was full of energy, but they didn’t realize that someone as thin as her must be in poor health. She should get enough rest and take care of her body, instead of getting up in the middle of the night to work every day.
Boss Tu even felt a little guilty, thinking that he had not taken good care of her.
Zhou thought it should be so.
The doctor said that Yu Li's health was seriously damaged and was afraid that she would not live long, so he wanted to let her rest more and replenish her body.
Therefore, even though she found out that she ate a lot, Zhou didn't think it was a big deal, thinking that food supplements were good.
-
Yu Li drank the last bowl of vegetable soup and finally felt full.
"Li Niang, are you full?" Zhou asked, estimating her appetite in her mind. It seemed that she was starving after not eating for two days. Her appetite also increased, so she would have to cook more in the future.
Yu Li touched his stomach and said a little embarrassedly, "Mom, I'm just a little hungry today. I don't need to eat so much."
If she ate this much every day, it would definitely scare people.
It should be because after she injected supernatural powers into Fu Wenxiao last night, the supernatural powers were consumed, so he was very hungry.
Yu Li thought back to the scene two days ago when her superpowers awakened, and vaguely understood that at that time, she used her own body as the price to infinitely exploit her superpowers, which consumed her vitality.
So after examining the patient, the doctor will conclude that the patient has consumed too much physical energy and suffered great loss of vitality.
It is true to say that when the vitality in the human body is consumed, the vitality will be greatly damaged.
Fortunately, she awakened the life power, which can repair her body. Her body will soon recover and will even be healthier than anyone else in this world.
In this case, it doesn't matter if you lose a lot of vitality. Just eat more and save some supernatural powers to heal yourself.
Yu Li felt relieved when thinking this, and decided to earn more money in the future and work hard to eat and drink.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, she does not need to overdraw her vitality to save people. Therefore, she should eat more in normal times and convert the nutrients in the food into superpowers. This should be enough for her, right?
This is what Yu Li thought when he saw Fu Wenxiao when he returned to the room.
Fu Wenxiao's health was indeed very poor, but he would not die for a while. From now on, she would transfer a little bit of supernatural power to him every day so that his body could recover slowly.
After a year or so, I believe he will recover.
Fu Wenxiao had just finished his meal and was sitting there leisurely drinking water. When he saw her looking at him, he asked, "Li Niang, what's wrong?"
Yu Li sat opposite him and said slowly, "I suddenly remembered that it has been more than half a month. I was planning to go to the study these two days, but I don't know how much money I can get."
She did not forget that there was a rare handwritten copy of Fu Wenxiao being auctioned in the study.
Knowing that he might eat more in the future, Yu Li valued money more.
Only if you have money can you buy food and all kinds of food so you won’t go hungry.
Fu Wenxiao smiled and said, "If we send it to the city for auction, after deducting the 20% from the study, we will get about 200 to 300 taels."
There are many wealthy people in the city, and with the gimmick of a rare copy, it can attract even more people.
Yu Li is no longer the country girl who would get excited when hearing about two or three hundred silver coins.
The main reason is that she knows that she will become a money-eating beast in the future and will spend a lot of money. No amount of money will be enough.
Two hundred taels of silver may sound like a lot, but if I continue to eat the way I'm going to, it won't last long, right?
At this time, Zhou came in with a tray with two bowls of medicine on it.
Yu Li looked at him with some confusion. Fu Wenxiao actually had to drink two bowls of medicine every time?
Poor thing.
She was looking at Fu Wenxiao with sympathy, but she didn't expect Zhou to put one of the bowls of medicine in front of her.
Yu Li: “…”
"Mother Li, the doctor said that your body's vitality has been greatly damaged, and you need to replenish it." Zhou said softly, "This is the medicine for your body. From now on, you should drink a bowl every morning and evening like Xiao Ge'er until your body is restored."
Yu Li: “…”
Yu Li was so shocked that he was speechless.
No, why would she drink something so horrible? She had already eaten enough of those horrible nutritional supplements and compressed dry food in the apocalypse. They tasted exactly like the medicine in this world.
She doesn't want to eat this kind of thing.
Aren’t white rice, steamed buns, noodles, braised pork, stewed pork, roast chicken, sesame cakes, etc. delicious?
Seeing the expression on Yu Li's face, Fu Wenxiao clenched his fist and placed it to his lips to hide the smile at the corner of his lips.
She never hides her feelings, and her expression is easy to understand. Her eyes are wide open, and you can tell how shocked she is. She looks quite pitiful.
Zhou also found it funny, but she thought that her body had been damaged too badly in the past, and if she didn't make up for it, it would be harmful to her lifespan.
"Be good, Li Niang. Drink it. You don't have to drink it for too long. Drinking it for about half a year should be enough."
Yu Li widened his eyes. He had to drink it for another half a year?
So scary!
In the end, Yu Li drank it anyway.
There was no way out. Zhou stared at her, as if she would not leave unless she drank.
Yu Li could refuse anyone, but she couldn't refuse Zhou who cooked for her. If she couldn't eat the food cooked by Zhou, she couldn't sleep well.
When drinking the medicine, Yu Li was in so much pain that he felt like exploding.
After coming to this world, she thought she had finally gotten rid of the weird-tasting nutritional supplements and compressed dry food, but she didn't expect that there was such a thing as medicine in this world. When people are sick, they have to drink this weird-tasting medicine, which is pitch black and emits a strange smell. It tastes weird too.
This gave her the illusion of returning to the end of the world.
After she finished drinking painfully, Fu Wenxiao brought a piece of preserved fruit and handed it to her.
Without thinking, she opened her mouth and ate it, chewing hard, trying to use it to cover up the horrible taste in her mouth.
Fu Wenxiao paused, looked at the painful expression on her face, and slowly withdrew his hand.
Feeling the wetness remaining on his fingertips, his ears turned red. He forgot what he had wanted to say and his expression became a little vague.
Because the power of the Chinese medicine was so terrible, Yu Li became listless and lay on the bed, not wanting to move.
However, this kind of dejection was relieved after she found that the speed of recovery of her body's supernatural powers had accelerated. She sat up abruptly, her eyes slightly widened in shock.
"Li Niang, what's wrong?"
Fu Wenxiao was half asleep. When he noticed her movement, he opened his eyes and looked at her.
It was now past noon and he was ready to take a nap to recuperate.
Yu Li turned his head to look at him. The man with silky black hair was lying there quietly. His elegant and handsome face was pale and fragile, and there was a sense of broken glass.
It seems like it will break if touched lightly.
He is very quiet when he sleeps and will not move around. He stays in the same position he had before going to bed and when he wakes up. He doesn't even have bad habits like grinding his teeth or snoring.
If she was not used to living under the same roof with others, perhaps he would really be an ideal roommate who was so quiet that he had no sense of existence and would not disturb others' rest.
"It's nothing, go to sleep." Yu Li said.
Fu Wenxiao responded softly.
In the afternoon, when he woke up, he heard Yu Li ask, "Xiao brother, are the medicinal herbs in this world very expensive?"
Although Fu Wenxiao had just woken up, his mind was not confused and he keenly caught the word "this world".
He sighed in his heart, wondering what kind of environment she had lived in before. She was obviously very vigilant, but occasionally she would unconsciously reveal certain information.
Although he was worried that she might accidentally reveal her true identity outside, Fu Wenxiao didn't dare to remind her.
"It depends on what kind of herbs they are." Fu Wenxiao said, "Some herbs are very cheap, some are very expensive, like ginseng and ganoderma lucidum..."
He was very familiar with the types of medicinal materials and he explained to Yu Li in detail the types, effects, prices, and how to prepare the medicinal materials in this world.
Yu Li suddenly realized and asked himself what medicinal ingredients were in the tonic he drank today.
Although Fu Wenxiao had never seen the prescription, he roughly knew which medicines could replenish vital energy and which herbs could regulate the body, and he told her one by one.
Yu Li didn't expect that the tonic in this world was so expensive, even more expensive than the medicine Fu Wenxiao drank.
Is it because there are ginseng whiskers inside?
She was in a daze for a long time, feeling the supernatural powers that had recovered in her body, and seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that medicinal herbs contain more nutrients than food. After drinking that bowl of tonic, her body's superpowers recovered very quickly. If she needs anything in the future, she can drink two more bowls.
But - it really tastes terrible!
Yu Li frowned seriously. Why are there such unpalatable things in this world? And they are so expensive.
Although Fu Wenxiao didn't know why she asked this, he found it somewhat amusing to see her bitter face.
He said gently, "Don't worry, just drink it for a few months. Once your body is well, you won't have to drink it anymore."
Yu Li looked at him and felt that she didn't need any treatment. She could use her supernatural powers to repair her body.
However, the amount of supernatural power is limited. Every time it is used up, it takes several hours to recover. If you drink tonic, you will recover faster.
But she really didn't want to drink.
Yu Li decided to use his supernatural powers to regulate his body first, so that he wouldn't need to take tonics.
It is better to take tonic medicine at critical moments.
As for Fu Wenxiao... he thought he could still live for a few more months, so there was no rush. He could wait until she recovered and then he could take care of her.
When his health improves, he should be able to make more money.
Yu Li has already set her sights on his money. People in this world attach great importance to life-saving grace. If she saves him, he will definitely repay her. At that time, he will give her his money to spend. Isn't it also a way of repaying the favor?
It’s decided.
