Chapter 52: Chapter 46 New Superpower, Natural Crystal! _1
“What’s this?”
Seeing the purple crystal, Li Ming almost immediately thought of the telekinesis crystal he obtained previously, his eyes instantly lit up. However, he was confused as the crystal wasn’t floating in the air like the last one.
He looked at the panel, but there was no reaction.
“Could it be that it’s not in range?”
Li Ming was puzzled, but after contemplating, he stepped forward and picked it up.
The moment he picked it up, a glint of color flashed in Li Ming’s eyes.
[Detection of the power-inducing factor, Quality: Lower grade]
[Absorbing this factor has a 70% chance of becoming demonized and a 30% chance of becoming a superpower user]
[Panel effect activated, touching this factor will purify it, 100% chance of inducing super power: Bodily Enhancement]
[Power induction level: Beginner]
[Type of bodily enhancement available: Strength, Speed, Stamina/Comprehensive. Choosing comprehensive enhancement will only give a third of the enhancement for each aspect]
[After touching the power-inducing factor, you will gain a physical superpower that can increase your body’s capabilities by 30%; you can increase your strength through physical exercise]
“It really is a superpower inducer, but why does it appear to be more potent than the last one?”
Li Ming’s eyes sparkled intriguingly, but at the same time, was filled with confusion. He distinctly remembered that the last crystal was so advanced that it could be detected and absorbed even without touching it. However, this one required him to touch it, even though it seemed to be of a higher grade. Why was it more potent?
But the previous one did indeed seem inferior, and this one was just lower grade…
“Could it be because the form of manifestation of the superpower differs? Telekinesis has a broader range, so I don’t have to touch it to absorb the power, but a physical enhancement is concentrated in the body, so I need to touch the crystal?”
A thought flashed through Li Ming’s mind, and then he looked ahead, his eyes sparkling.
“I can possess two superpowers at the same time, can everyone do this, or is it just me? Never mind, that doesn’t matter… bodily enhancement, huh… I obviously choose comprehensive enhancement.”
A thought flashed through Li Ming’s mind and he hastily made his selection for his superpower evolution, choosing comprehensive evolution.
Although choosing one area would indeed provide a significant boost to a specific ability, he was well aware that only comprehensive enhancement is the strongest. Having large flaws would greatly decrease his safety. Moreover, he was already practicing martial arts skills and wouldn’t deliberately create weaknesses for himself.
As he pondered, a force, like a jabbing needle, surged from the crystal in his hand into Li Ming’s body.
“Ah…”
A low groan involuntarily escaped his throat. Li Ming felt as if his whole body was being torn apart, from his muscles to his bones to his vitals.
It felt as if his muscles, bones, and innards were being torn apart and then reassembled. After a long time, the soaked in sweat Li Ming finally felt the pain ebbing away like the receding tide.
A feeling of power emerged from all around his body. Li Ming clenched his fists and found not only his vitality from the exertion of his three-shot burst recovered but also his overall strength and energy had increased significantly.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
Holding the spear, he made a thrust as fast as he could. Li Ming found that his stabbing speed had also increased.
“I can’t say how much it has increased, but they claim it’s 30%, which is a considerable number.”
A smile emerged at the corner of Li Ming’s mouth. He knew that earlier he could lift things up to four hundred pounds. According to the 30% increase, this showed he gained at least an additional one hundred and twenty pounds of power.
Pretty good!
“Most importantly, the potential of my body has been enhanced, and the intensity of future exercise growth will also increase.”
Feeling his newfound power, Li Ming was ecstatic. He kicked the zombie corpse at his feet, muttering: “Buddy, thanks for your gift.”
When he was done, Li Ming put away his spear, rearranged the equipment on his body, and rummaged through several zombie bodies. He found a set of keys on each of the three bodies and then returned to the section of the road he was on earlier.
Looking ahead, there were no more zombies. Li Ming knocked on the car’s body and saw no signs of movement. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Where he parked was not far from the logistics transit point. He took out the car keys and compared them. Sure enough, these were the keys to three red trucks, and each truck’s cab even had a sleeping area behind the seats!
He picked the newest truck and left the keys to the other two trucks in their cabs, for whoever might come along next.
He initially wanted to drive straight back, but upon seeing the clutter at the logistics station, he suddenly thought maybe he could first inspect what was inside?
“Generally, logistics are all about the heavy stuff…”
An idea flashed through his mind, and Li Ming couldn’t resist going over and looking around. And what do you know? He actually found a pleasant surprise.
“There’s actually a bow.”
Li Ming stared at a package in front of him; his expression involuntarily shifted as he opened it.
He quickly opened the cardboard box to remove the bow within, discovering it was a compound bow – two bow limbs that looked very sturdy, an even sturdier bow riser, thick rotating screws for connection, as well as a thick bowstring.
Checking the specifications, the compound bow weighed eighty pounds.
“A bow and arrow…”
Li Ming touched the bowstring, found it very resilient and couldn’t help but wonder about its power?
He glanced at the two packs of arrows that came packaged with it, thought for a bit, and decided to take all these items with him. He anymore looked around, but seeing nothing else worthwhile, he left everything else behind. A solar power bank was the only other thing he put in his backpack.
After gathering his new possessions, just as he was about to return, something on the road suddenly caught his attention.
“What is this…?”
Li Ming looked at the ground in front of him. If he wasn’t mistaken, this should be the spot he caught sight of hordes of zombies gathering earlier. At this moment, a fist-sized yellow crystal came into view as he moved closer.
It looked… pretty similar to the crystal that the gigantic zombie had left in the park, didn’t it?
“Could this be a stroke of luck?”
A thought crossed Li Ming’s mind; Could it be that this crystal is why the zombies here are generally stronger than the others?
With a thought zipping through his mind, Li Ming couldn’t help but approach. As he came within one meter of the crystal, new text suddenly floated in the air before him.
[Detecting a natural energy crystal. Absorbing it can enhance your powers to some extent.]
[Would you like to absorb?]
It really is for enhancement!
Li Ming was ecstatic. He instantly understood why the colossal zombie had rushed to the square – it was for this crystal.
A natural energy crystal that could enhance powers!
“There’s actually such a magical thing!”
Li Ming’s eyes sparkled; there was no reason to hesitate – he decided to absorb it.

[Please confirm the power you wish to enhance with this energy: Telekinesis / Physical Enhancement]
After a moment of thought, Li Ming decisively chose telekinesis.
Telekinesis was his unexpected trump card. Just like when he was fighting the mutated zombie earlier, stronger telekinetic power would give him more room for battle tactics. Hence he became undeniably certain.
Following Li Ming’s decision, the fist-sized natural energy crystal vanished out of thin air. At the same time, he felt his telekinetic power surge unstoppably.
Rising! Rising! Rising!
His telekinetic power almost doubled before it finally stopped. He once again felt his telekinetic power and noticed that he had gained much more power, reaching a sense of normalcy at last.
He looked at a metal block labeled 70kg off to the side, and immediately attempted to lift it using his telekinesis, and the next moment, his telekinetic energy surged.
The metal block shook, then was clumsily lifted by his telekinetic force. Li Ming’s eyes sparkled, and he immediately released it.
“Bang”
The metal block fell to the floor, stirring up a cloud of dust. Li Ming gripped his bow, glanced at the truck nearby, and could not help smiling, “Finding a car this time really paid off, a tremendous harvest!”
He couldn’t help but think, if he hadn’t showed up and let the mutated zombie absorb the entire crystal, whether he would’ve still been able to defeat it remained uncertain.
Shaking his head to clear this thought, Li Ming returned to the truck driver’s seat in high spirits, placed the bow on the small sleeping area in the back, carefully started the truck, and begun to get a feel for driving it.
