“Transform!” “Transform!”

“Transform!”

Ma Li shouted several times in a row, but nothing happened!

With a hint of a cry in his voice, he said, “You guys, do you think I haven’t awakened a superpower at all?”

“Not awakened?”

Du Gang and Chu Zixuan exchanged glances, both a little puzzled.

Chu Zixuan awakened his superpower just by swallowing one crystal, so why was Ma Li different?

“Let me try first!”

At this moment, An Ya said, ‘Ma Li, don’t panic. Let me try and see whether I’ll

awaken or not!”

All eyes immediately turned to An Ya.

Without any hesitation, An Ya swallowed the crystal.

Unlike Ma Li who remained motionless after swallowing the crystal, as soon as An Ya did it, her body began to tremble slightly.

It took almost as long as drinking a cup of tea for her to slowly open her eyes.

“How is it?”

Ma Li looked at her anxiously, wanting to know the result of swallowing the crystal.

An Ya nodded, a hint of joy in her eyes, “I’ve awakened. I have a superpower!” 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“What superpower?”

Du Gang took a glance at the rather dejected Ma Li and turned his gaze back to An Ya, asking.

With a smile on her face, she spoke, “Illusion ability. In my mind, there’s this strange space where I can manifest everything I can imagine vividly as if it’s happening right there. Likewise, I can put images from my mind directly into others’, affecting what they see…”

“After awakening, did you instantly know how to use your superpower?” Chu Zixuan asked calmly.

“Yes, as soon as I awakened, I knew what this power could do and how to use it… as if it has always been a part of me!”

Chu Zixuan nodded, turned around, and said to the group, “That’s indeed the feeling. As soon as I awakened my superpower, I knew what it was and could use it proficiently.”

“Ah? So, what does it mean if I have no reaction?” Ma Li looked at him anxiously.

After pondering for a while, Chu Zixuan speculated, “I think it might have to do with our individual constitution. Think about the fantasy novels you’ve read, they often mention this thing called aptitude…”

“I suspect, people like Du Gang who awaken their superpowers naturally have superior aptitude. An Ya and I who awaken after consuming a crystal have good aptitude. As for you, your aptitude may not be that good. You either will never awaken, or you need to consume more crystals to do so!”

Upon hearing this, Ma Li looked disappointed and dejected.

After thinking carefully, Du Gang found what Chu Zixuan said reasonable.

So, he said, “Let’s do this, let’s find two more crystals and see if Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen can awaken. Then we will decide our next step.”

Following this, the group began to take action again.

With Chu Zixuan’s detection ability, they soon found two more bugs.

This time, it was Chu Zixuan who made the move. He volunteered to give it a try and using his Mental Power, he controlled a knife to cut into the bug’s body, then retrieved the crystal.

The bug didn’t make a single sound. It just died on the spot.

Chu Zixuan’s Mental Power, especially during extraction, was much easier than Du Gang’s hands-on approach.

Almost as soon as he sliced open the bug’s head, he used his Mental Power to extract the crystal.

“Don’t you feel weak?”

Du Gang was somewhat puzzled. When he had rescued Mu Chuxue before, she was completely weak.

However, Chu Zixuan, who had used his superpower several times, did not seem weak at all.

Chu Zixuan shook his head, sensing why Du Gang asked this question, he speculated, “Two possibilities, either Mu Chuxue and I have different aptitudes, or the amount of power used differs. I merely used my Mental Power to control the knife to slice open the bug’s head then retrieve the crystal. As for what Mu Chuxue did, I don’t know, perhaps she had a fight with the bug!” “Never mind, let’s see the results of the other two swallowing the crystals!”

Shortly afterwards, Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen swallowed the crystals one after another. freewe(b)novel

And their expressions changed from hopeful to disappointed.

Like Ma Li, they also didn’t awaken any superpower.

Du Gang pondered, “Given the scenario, what Chu Zixuan said makes sense. Either the three of you don’t have the aptitude, or your aptitude is too poor, needing many crystals to awaken!”

“When I held the crystal in my hand before, my body seemingly craved it, as if swallowing it would enhance my Mental Power. So, I guess this kind of crystal can be used not only for awakening but also for enhancing existing superpowers.”

After analyzing it, Chu Zixuan continued, “How to distribute the crystals is something we need to decide on!”

At this moment, he even had the impulse to part ways, get the crystals from the bugs himself, and get stronger.

But reason made him calm down again.

Du Gang echoed his words and admitted frankly, “Indeed, crystals can be used for leveling up. I reckon I need about twenty or thirty crystals to level up once… ”

Now, he was also hesitant. At first, the gathered crystals were solely for his own use.

But now, as he had formed a small team of six, if he were the only one consuming the crystals, it would result in the group disbanding.

An unequal distribution might also cause some other problems.

Once this topic was touched upon, everyone became troubled.

Everyone had their own calculations in mind, but no one dared to say it out loud.

“I have an idea!”

At this moment, Chu Zixuan spoke up with a calm expression on his face.

All eyes were immediately drawn to him, and Du Gang hurriedly said, “Let’s hear it!”

“We are six. From what we can see, Du Gang has the highest talent and is likely to have the best effect in absorbing crystals, followed by me and An Ya, and then the three of you…”

“Currently, the only people capable of effectively killing bugs and obtaining crystals are Du Gang and I…”

“So, I suggest we temporarily adopt a distribution ratio of three, two, one for the crystals.”

“Du Gang receives 30%, me and An Ya receive 20% each, and the remaining three people receive 10% each…”

Before anyone could react, he continued, “However, this ratio can be adjusted. When the three of you awaken your superpowers, we will make a more specific adjustment based on factors like contribution!” “No problem from my side!”

After listening, An Ya was the first to agree.

“I have no problem with it too!”

Next was Ma Li, who didn’t want to cause discord within the group and wanted to share Du Gang’s burden.

Everyone then turned their attention to Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen.

They seemed to have different ideas in mind, but seeing that everyone else agreed, they also nodded in agreement.

Seeing their agreement, Du Gang nodded, “Okay, let’s proceed with this distribution principle for now. We will head north, hunt bugs along the way, and aim for the nearest police station!”

“Let’s go!”
