Chapter 14: I Gained a Superpower and Became Handsome Too!

Xu Wanting picked for a while and chose two potted plants that were already in bloom.

At least they were easy on the eyes.

She then looked back at Shen Yi; when she saw him nod lightly, she knew she had chosen correctly.

Although she did not know why Shen Yi wanted the plants, today’s experience had taught her not to ask if she could help it, to obey quietly, and that doing so would only make Shen Yi like her more.

“It’s getting late, so let’s head back first,” Shen Yi said, holding down his excitement and speaking calmly.

He knew this boy definitely would not notice anything, but if something went wrong, he would have no time for regrets.

“Sure, big bro, if you need anything later, just call me!” The bespectacled boy kept calling him big bro, obviously holding Shen Yi in high regard.

After all, Shen Yi had shared life-saving water with him.

“Mm.” Shen Yi nodded and had just turned to leave with Xu Wanting.

Suddenly, a shout from the boy came from behind.

“Big bro, wait!”

“Hm?”

The bespectacled boy scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. “Big bro, my name is Wang Bingbing. How about we exchange contact info?”

“Alright.”

Shen Yi did not refuse and opened his WeChat to scan.

The bespectacled boy hurriedly opened his WeChat as well and held out his QR code.

They scanned, and the add friend request succeeded.

“I’m Shen Yi; contact me on WeChat if anything comes up.”

“Got it, Brother Shen!”

At last, Shen Yi and Xu Wanting walked out of the foul-smelling Dorm 601.

“Hey, bro, do you have any extra water? Could you spare me half a bottle too?” the blond asked with a smile.

“No, there’s only one bottle left and the two of us need it,” Shen Yi declined flatly and left with Xu Wanting.

Right now he only wanted to hurry back and figure out whether this multicolored fruit could grant a superpower.

As for the blond classmate, he no longer mattered.

As long as Wang Bingbing did not team up with him, and with a knife in his own hand, Shen Yi believed the blond would not be foolish enough to seek death.

If anything, Shen Yi could strike first.

When he reached the door of Dorm 610, Shen Yi pried it open quickly.

Because the students had not returned, the room was relatively clean and had no strange odor.

However, Shen Yi still told Xu Wanting, “Go to Dorm 606 and bring my bedding over.”

“Okay!”

Xu Wanting did not want to sleep in someone else’s bedding either.

Who knew whether it was clean.

She was a clean freak after all.

Once Xu Wanting left, Shen Yi immediately crouched by the potted plants and observed them carefully for a while, confirming that neither of them had mutated.

Then, he plucked the fruit from the center of the blossom.

The multicolored little fruit felt cool, and a faint chill flowed from his fingertips into his body.

It really was extraordinary!

From that chill alone, Shen Yi could be sure the multicolored fruit was no ordinary produce.

“Should I eat it?”

Shen Yi hesitated.

What if Ma Tianming had lied to him?

What if the fruit was poisonous?

But with only one fruit, he could not let Xu Wanting test it.

If Xu Wanting awakened a superpower and turned the tables on him, he would have taken a huge loss!

Shen Yi pondered for a while, then snapped a photo of the multicolored fruit with his phone and started an image search online.

After searching, he found no related information.

That proved the fruit might never have existed before or had never been cataloged.

The latter was highly unlikely.

After all, a plant raised by an ordinary college student could hardly be world-famous.

Thinking about it, the multicolored fruit had most likely appeared after the apocalypse broke out.

As for whether it was a poisonous fruit or a superpower fruit, he could only test it himself!

Although Shen Yi was very cautious and good at hiding, surviving without strength meant merely stockpiling supplies for others.

He needed power!

He needed overwhelming power!

If he had power, he would never have needed to haggle with Wang Bingbing and the blond today.

Only a lack of absolute power forced him to resort to schemes and mind games.

Thinking of the blond’s lecherous gaze, Shen Yi decided to gamble!

If he truly could awaken a mighty superpower, he could go back and save Grandma and his little sister!

After weighing everything, Shen Yi finally swallowed the fruit.

“Ma Tianming, oh Ma Tianming, you’d better not have fooled me, or I’ll draw a circle and curse you to the eighteenth level of hell…”

He prayed silently.

The multicolored fruit melted almost instantly in his mouth.

He did not even catch its flavor.

Immediately after, Shen Yi felt warmth surge through his body as a strange energy kept circulating inside him, making him feel toasty all over, as if soaked in legendary spirit water; his back stopped aching, his legs stopped hurting, and his once frail body brimmed with vitality.

As the warm current flowed through every limb and bone, Shen Yi felt better and better; his strength seemed to grow, and all his muscles twitched.

After roughly a few dozen seconds, Shen Yi was completely immersed in the pleasure of his rising power; accompanied by a series of crisp crackles, his muscles and bones trembled, his pores opened, and a layer of dark red, grease-like filth was expelled.

In the next instant, Shen Yi felt as though he had suddenly broken through a barrier, his entire body freed from shackles, overflowing with endless strength and energy.

When he opened his eyes and looked down at his body again, he was stunned.

The once skinny him now had muscles!

Abs!

A perfect six-pack!

His whole body was full of strength, and he felt he could punch through a wall!

Right after, Shen Yi felt an itch on his face, and when he wiped it instinctively, his hand was covered in smelly red residue.

Frowning, Shen Yi took a compact mirror from Xu Wanting’s bag and looked at his face.

A lot of impurities had surfaced on his face, but after he wiped them off, his once ordinary features became much more defined and could even be called handsome.

His looks had actually improved too!

“What kind of superpower fruit is this…?”

Shen Yi was a little surprised.

It boosted strength, boosted looks, even gave him abs…

He could not tell what fruit it was.

But if he ate a few more, could he keep evolving?

Could it even increase his power dramatically?

As for appearance, Shen Yi did not think it mattered much, but if he could become more handsome, he certainly would not mind.

Still, compared with better looks, he valued strength more.

In the apocalypse, strength was what mattered most.

With power, even if he were ugly, beauties would still throw themselves at him.

What? If they didn’t throw themselves at him?

Then he would just take them!

Otherwise, what was the point of power?

Shen Yi’s lips curved happily as he tried to flash a wicked smile.

Ma Tianming really had not lied to him.

This multicolored fruit truly was a superpower fruit!

However, the superpower he gained seemed physical in nature and completely different from Zhao Tao’s.

Just as Shen Yi thought this, a voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.
