Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Cactus Bore Superpower Fruit

"A C-level giant eagle just left, and now a D-level ferocious beast is coming… This happy community is truly remarkable."

Ning Shuangyu slightly tilted her head back, her flawless white face and determined gaze fixed on the large cat.

The remaining eye of the large cat flickered with a ghostly green light, and it continuously emitted low growls from its throat.

At that moment, the grass in the distance rustled incessantly, making a rustling sound—another ferocious beast was approaching?! Ning Shuangyu frowned.

But at that moment, the large cat had already launched an attack on her!

Ning Shuangyu could only dodge, using her agile movements to keep evading the large cat while searching for an opportunity to strike a decisive blow.

The human and the cat were entangled for a few seconds.

Suddenly, the large cat twisted its body and unexpectedly swung its tail, sending Ning Shuangyu flying and crashing heavily to the ground! Ning Shuangyu felt as if her waist had almost been broken.

Immediately, she spat out a mouthful of blood! The large cat seized the opportunity and roared as it pounced!

Ning Shuangyu gritted her teeth, no longer dodging; instead, she leaped towards the large cat! The human and the cat were mere inches apart! The large cat's paw struck her chest! Yet, she took the chance to stab downward with her dagger, hitting the large cat's only remaining eye!

"Roar!"

The large cat howled in anger, suddenly retreating a few steps, wildly swiping its claws at the air around it.

The next second! A gigantic black snake emerged from nowhere, biting the large cat's throat and dragging it into the grass!

Seeing this, Ning Shuangyu dared not linger and quickly turned to run!

But after just a few steps, she was blocked by a wall of twisted roots.

She looked up—

Unit 1, Building C of the Happy Community.

...

In Unit 2202 of Building C, the battle between Lin Lang and Gu Fei had already ended.

Gu Fei had gone to the bathroom to wash up.

Lin Lang sat in the computer chair, boredly scrolling through videos.

There was much discussion online about this rescue operation.

Multiple cities across the country had organized supply efforts.

But the success rate was still less than fifty percent.

Most were due to attacks from ferocious beasts, resulting in significant casualties.

Netizens were in a state of panic.

Some even criticized the authorities, claiming they were ineffective.

But Lin Lang knew.

This was not a problem with the officials.

The ferocious beasts were just too strong.

They could even be immune to bullets.

Unless one awakened a Superpower, humans simply could not fight back!

At that moment.

He turned his gaze to the pot of Cactus on the computer desk.

To his surprise.

In just a few short hours.

The flower buds on that pot of Cactus had already withered! A slender new shoot had sprouted from the top of the Cactus, with a red fruit the size of a broad bean hanging from it!

"Could this be the Superpower fruit?"

Lin Lang couldn't help but lean in closer.

He saw that the small fruit was glowing faintly, exuding a light fragrance.

Lin Lang felt he was almost certain!

This should be the legendary Superpower fruit!

"Eating this will grant me a Superpower…"

Lin Lang was itching to act!

But caution was key.

He definitely wouldn't just eat it like that.

He observed more carefully.

The fruit was greedily absorbing the surrounding air, almost growing without pause!

Until!

It grew to the size of an egg! And it was radiating dazzling light!

"Is it ripe?"

For some inexplicable reason, Lin Lang reached out and yanked the fruit down!

It was heavy and icy cold.

At that moment.

Gu Fei had also finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in Lin Lang's towel.

Lin Lang said, "Come here."

Gu Fei glanced at Lin Lang with a resentful look but still trudged over to the study.

"What is it?"

Lin Lang handed her the fruit, calmly saying, "Try a bite."

Gu Fei looked at the fruit, unable to help but frown:

"What is this? Where did it come from?"

She didn't dare to take a bite of something with an unknown origin.

Lin Lang simply said:

"Just take a gentle bite, don't swallow it."

After these days of exploration.

He had figured out the rules of return, especially the definition of "consumption."

An item was considered consumed as long as it lost its original state.

In other words.

Any item that changed hands could trigger a return!

Gu Fei sniffed it lightly.

The fruit had a fragrant aroma, similar to an apple.

So she took a gentle bite.

[Gu Fei consumed a low-grade Superpower fruit, returning 300 pieces, now stored in the host's space]

"Indeed!"

Lin Lang felt a surge of joy—

This was the Superpower fruit!

Although it was only low-grade.

But it was a genuine Superpower fruit! What kind of Superpower would be gained from eating this fruit? Lin Lang said to Gu Fei:

"Go ahead and eat it, it's a good thing."

"A good thing?"

Gu Fei pondered for a moment before swallowing the entire fruit.

The next moment! Gu Fei's expression changed! She felt a cool breeze rushing into her pores from all around!

So comfortable! "Ah~"

She couldn't help but let out a moan! When she realized what she had done, she quickly covered her mouth!

This feeling lasted for about a few seconds.

After everything calmed down, Gu Fei was astonished to find that all her senses had greatly enhanced! She could even hear Lin Lang's strong heartbeat!

Even the thick fog outside seemed to have thinned a bit, allowing her to see further.

Seeing her astonished face, Lin Lang asked, "What does it feel like?"

Gu Fei looked incredulous:

"It's amazing! My senses have become so much stronger! Vision, hearing, smell, all enhanced!"

"Even with my eyes closed, I can vaguely sense what objects are around me!"

"What kind of treasure is this?"

Lin Lang smiled slightly: "This is the Superpower fruit, it can grant people Superpowers."

"Ah? Such divine objects still exist in this world…"

Gu Fei felt her worldview quietly shifting.

On the computer desk.

Since Lin Lang had plucked the fruit.

The pot of Cactus quickly shriveled, its color changing from light green to black and yellow, appearing dead.

As if it had lost its source of life.

"Alright, you can go out now." Lin Lang said to Gu Fei.

"Mm."

Gu Fei obediently walked out of the study.

Lin Lang took a Superpower fruit from his space.

And ate it in one bite.

In an instant!

The essence of the world surged into his body! As if the long-dry soil had finally welcomed a nourishing spring rain!

He closed his eyes to feel it carefully.

A few seconds later, everything calmed down.

He exhaled and opened his eyes.

In his vision.

It was as if the world after a heavy rain.

Everything had changed, clearer and more vibrant!

Even with his eyes closed.

He could sense everything within a meter radius!

He focused his mind and pulled up his information:

[Lin Lang]

[Physical Body: Second Reinforcement]

[Superpower: Inspiration (Level 1)]

So this ability is called Inspiration!

And it has levels, does this mean it can be upgraded?

How does one upgrade it?

By eating more Superpower fruits?

Lin Lang had already eaten one, and there were still 299 left in his space.

So he ate another one.

[Superpower: Inspiration (Level 1)]

No change.

But he vaguely felt his sensing ability had strengthened a bit, and the range he could sense with his eyes closed had increased slightly! About a few centimeters.

But it was indeed an increase.

So he ate a few more.

Finally!

After swallowing ten Superpower fruits! [Superpower: Inspiration (Level 2)]

Indeed!

Eating more Superpower fruits can upgrade it!

Encouraged, he went on a spree with the Superpower fruits!

He ate more than thirty in one go!

His stomach could hold no more.

[Superpower: Inspiration (Level 3)]

"Level three!"

He closed his eyes.

He could now clearly sense everything within a ten-meter radius! Even this sensation could ignore the barriers of doors, windows, and walls!

He could now sense that Gu Fei was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

And within Gu Fei's body, there was a faintly glowing point of light, flickering! "Is that light point the power of the Superpower fruit?"

He then turned his attention back to himself—

Inside his body, there existed a ball of light the size of an egg!
