LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 110: Shu’s New Power
Like last time, Liu Zhuohua took the lead, even though Shu already knew where the shelter was.
The only difference was that this time there was no conflict between Yun Mengxi and Liu Zhuohua; they walked side-by-side at the front.
Shu and the others followed behind, giving Kiana and the others a space to ask questions quietly.
"Shu, why did you pretend to be a member of the government?" To Shu's surprise, it wasn't the question queen Kiana who asked the question this time, but Mei.
Though, Shu could see Kiana was just about to ask the same thing.
"Ahem, that's a long story." Seeing that it was finally time to reveal and share his power, Shu intentionally teased them all.
"Then make it a short story." Kiana didn't give Shu any time to build suspense.
Shu: "…" Shu really has no face!
"I want to take down a Chariot-class Honkai beast." Shu's words were shocking.
"Oh." The others responded in unison, their tone as calm as if Shu had said he was eating a small bun for lunch.
"Wait, aren't you surprised?" Shu was stunned. Now it was his turn to be surprised by their calm reactions.
"We're very surprised, but we're more curious about how you're going to do it." Mei smiled, and Shu saw a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
Looking at the other two, ah, so that's why they always get together.
"It's because I obtained a new power that gives me the confidence to take down that Honkai beast with your help." Shu stopped being mysterious. He understood now; they weren't the type to be left hanging.
"What?!" Kiana whispered, controlling her volume. "Can you tell us what it is? It's not actually fortune telling, is it?!"
"Of course not." Shu shook his head, then raised a finger, smiling at them all. "What kind of power do you think I have?"
Was he asking them to guess?
"Um…" Mei thought for a moment, and made a more conservative guess, "Makes your physical abilities stronger?"
"There is that, but that's not all." Shu said, smiling. He didn't need to prove this; his earlier leap over the gate was proof of his increased strength.
"Can it heal Shu's injuries?" Bronya looked at Shu's face, then recalled his pale complexion earlier that morning.
His pale complexion had inexplicably become very healthy, and there was no trace of his weakness.
Shu nodded, patting his chest. "There's that too, but that's still not all."
"You really are healed?" Kiana immediately came closer, and "slapped" Shu's chest with her hand.
After repeatedly groping his chest, Kiana still didn't believe it, and began to pull at Shu's shirt, trying to look inside to see what was going on.
Shu: "?!"
Holy crap! There's a pervert!
Mei made her move, mercilessly smacking Kiana on the head. Kiana clutched her head in protest. "I just wanted to see if Shu was okay…"
Shu wasn't sure if Mei believed that, but he did.
He wasn't a pretty girl, so why would Kiana be interested in him?
Of course, the one time when they just met in the past didn't count, Kiana had wanted her body back then.
"He really is healed, and without any lingering side effects." Shu chuckled, waving his hand, and forcefully patted his chest, creating a dull thud.
This time, everyone was surprised.
They knew just how severe Shu's injuries had been. Even if he was a walking corpse, the fact that he could still stand was a miracle.
Such severe injuries had actually healed? This was a medical miracle!
Kiana wasn't the only one. Bronya and Mei were also starting to get the urge to pull at Shu's clothes to check out his injuries.
Shu felt a sense of malice. He then turned to Kiana, "So, what about you? What power do you think I have?"
"Um…" Kiana pondered, then her eyes lit up. "Can spit fire, can shoot lightning, can teleport, and can stop time! And… hehe, can you conjure up delicious food?"
Shu: "…" "Then I'll ask another question. What do you think I am?"
"Huh?" Kiana was startled and seriously thought for a moment. "Dora-homu?" [Doraemon reference]
What is that? Shu was stunned. But, the next moment, Kiana and the others noticed that Shu's outstretched finger had suddenly changed.
First, a small flame, the size of a lighter, appeared at his fingertip. Then, the flame disappeared, replaced by a thin strand of electricity coiling around his finger.
The others all excitedly wanted to get closer to see the amazing power, but the next moment, Shu vanished, reappearing a meter away, keeping the same pose as before, then returning to his original position, his speed so fast that they all thought they'd imagined it.
And finally, Shu clenched the outstretched fist, and slowly opened it in front of Kiana.
A small piece of candy appeared in the palm of Shu's hand.
Looking at the candy, the group went silent.
At this moment, their minds were a mess. Their shock was evident on their faces.
"What's wrong, why are you all spacing out?" Shu held the candy in front of Kiana. "Do you not like candy?"
"This… can I eat it?" The candy was so close, but Kiana hesitated.
"Of course, I'm not going to poison you." Shu chuckled, and Kiana finally took the candy, cautiously unwrapping the packaging and placing it in her mouth.
A fruity sweetness spread across Kiana's tongue. She scrunched her face as she tasted it, then looked up at the three people staring at her.
"It's really a piece of candy…" Kiana described her experience, "It's quite delicious."
"Whew…" Shu let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad it's edible."
"Hm?" Kiana frowned, looking at Shu's shocked and speechless expression.
This was the most shocked she had ever seen him.
What does he mean? He was the one who pulled it out, does he not know if it's edible? Did he use me as a guinea pig?
["I'm not going to poison you."]
Recalling Shu's earlier nonsense, Kiana felt a chill run down her spine.
Ha, I actually believed his nonsense.
"Shu." Mei couldn't hold back any longer. What Kiana had described had already been unbelievable, but Shu was actually able to do those things?!
"What kind of power do you have?" Mei asked the question that concerned her the most. Even Kiana, who had been sullen, looked at Shu seriously, waiting for his answer.
