Chapter 137 Development
This was the first time Lin Xia had used her mental power to kill someone directly, and she was very wary of such a death. Although she was a mental power user, she had to admit that anything related to mental power was extremely dangerous and unpredictable.
Although this man's mental strength isn't particularly high, his ability to instigate conflict, if developed, would definitely be a powerful weapon.
People are terrifying when they are irrational, especially those who possess great power. Since they are enemies, Lin Xia will not show any mercy. She doesn't care who sent them; she just wants to kill them all.
From the perspective of viewers, there is no ending for this man. Just like when he was hiding in the corner at the beginning, although he made a fairly grand entrance, Wang Yan moved the camera away the moment he saw his expression.
The grand water-based superpower performance attracted everyone's attention, and apart from those who knew him, no one cared about his fate.
Without anyone else lifting a finger, Ji Wei single-handedly dealt with all the ships, proving with his strength the difference between those on the list and ordinary people.
At the end of the video, she also made an advertisement, inviting all water-based ability users to come and exchange their experiences in using their abilities.
Furthermore, in his capacity as deputy island lord, he conveyed the island lord's wishes: any friendly exchanges are welcome, but any provocation will be met with overwhelming force.
Back home, everyone was quite disappointed, but for many, it was the first time they had ever realized how powerful water-based ability users were in the ocean world.
Many water-based ability users then realized that the power they possessed was actually so vast, and they didn't know whether it was due to their mental strength, their proficiency in their abilities, or simply some techniques they were unaware of.
This alone was enough to entice many water-based ability users, and the island was indeed very attractive, so more and more people gradually gathered there.
After returning, A-Tong sighed deeply. It was true that battles at sea were more suitable for water-based ability users; they were indeed uniquely suited to it.
In the ocean, she also has her own tactics, which she doesn't need to reveal.
Energy flew out from her hand, and the seeds planted in the ground immediately grew upon contact with the energy, sprouting, growing, flowering, and bearing fruit.
A large tree that was about to die healed its wounds and regained its vitality.
Looking at this thriving and vibrant scene, A-Tong smiled; she still loved the power of life.
The green energy ball in his hand gradually faded, turning into a translucent white, and then continued to deepen into brown, exuding an aura of decay that was chilling.
Clenching her fists, the energy vanished. Ah Tong looked at her hands; this was a residual energy she had discovered while treating the plants.
She discovered it during the game [Gene Invasion], where the sudden bursts of life and death of the plants led her to realize that these two energies actually shared the same origin. Once she grasped this, everything made sense.
It can replenish life force, but it can also deprive life force; healing techniques are merely a minor part of it.
Becoming a god or falling into demonic possession seemed to be just a matter of a single thought for her, but she didn't need to think about it; she chose life. This power made her feel comfortable, a natural sense of closeness.
She didn't reject the deprivation; she was only pleased to have gained a life-saving power.
She approached Lin Xia and applied to establish the first hospital for people with superpowers on the island, which treated 30 patients every day.
They also approached Wang Yan and asked him to broadcast a video of himself using his superpowers to treat patients, and to announce a recruitment notice for wood-type superpower users.
The release of this video has garnered immense popularity, but it has also drawn fierce criticism from some wood-type ability users who also possess healing skills.
However, it must be said that the effect was amazing. Wood-type ability users instantly became highly sought after, and many people who did not know how to use healing magic were also instantly attracted. Although some people followed suit and recruited others, A-Tong, who was the first to announce the news, still gained the trust of most people.
Wood-type ability users gathered there, and Ah Tong didn't hold back, teaching everyone how to convert their abilities into healing spells. Staying on the island meant having stable jobs and accommodations, with wages in energy stones, and the ability to practice their abilities regularly. Almost everyone who came chose to stay.
As for those who were unable to pass through the advanced protective shield because they harbored malice or dislike towards Lin Xia, they were naturally ignored.
Once the issue of goodwill was publicized, everyone knew about it, and many people backed down and dared not try to take advantage of the situation.
Ji Wei, A Tong, and Lazy Cat all had their own things to do. Xie Cheng thought for a long time and then went to his leader to express his thoughts.
As his power and influence grew, so did his voice, and everyone took his ideas seriously.
Besides, everyone has seen the changes on the island; a new world has arrived, and they cannot afford to stick to the old ways.
So she asked Xie Cheng to take the lead and have everyone apply for jobs in places they were familiar with or interested in. Lin Xia agreed, but reminded them not to forget their responsibilities.
Xie Cheng wouldn't claim to have the most unique understanding of metal-type superpowers, but he's definitely among the best, and his research on defense is quite insightful.
He then sought out Wang Yan and began recruiting metal-type ability users, intending to upgrade the island's defense system and undertake various weapon forging and enhancement work.
Although these tasks are tedious and difficult, the fact that someone provides the funding and he has more opportunities to practice his superpowers makes it a worthwhile investment for Xie Cheng.
With more people, various skills and talents can no longer be perfectly hidden. Many people quickly discover people they can cooperate with, and 1+1 is definitely greater than 2. Various new industries quickly emerge and replace the old ones.
Because of this, many people have left the island, believing that all their privacy should be well protected and not revealed to anyone.
Life on the island may seem idyllic, but once privacy is compromised, one could very well die at the hands of others in the game world.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Wei found Lin Xia and took out the [Team Card] that he had drawn. Lin Xia had also intended to do the same, although she was puzzled as to why only Ji Wei had drawn this kind of team card.
Ji Wei is now at ease. She no longer wants to team up. Seventh Sister's abilities far surpass theirs, and they are no longer in the same world. Although A Tong and Xie Cheng can be trusted, they have long since stopped relying on anyone. Teaming up is completely unnecessary.
But the appearance of this card at this time is just right to stabilize the hearts of the island's residents and make everyone more united, so it is worth the money.
The team card allows players to form a team and enter the game, preventing them from attacking each other and enabling online trading, which is its most convenient feature.
Lin Xia exchanged for ten tokens and placed them directly in the exchange, specifying that they would only be traded to people who had entered the advanced protective shield and that they needed to be used on the spot.
The release of the "Team Card" has excited all players, as it greatly increases their survival rate. With everyone complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, surviving doesn't seem so difficult anymore.
Those who left the island, especially those outside the protective shield, regretted it too late; Lin Yi's system had already removed them from the selection list.
