Chapter 41: Infinite Fruits, Continuous Upgrades, Going Home

“Is this Telepathy? It really is amazing…”

At the moment Shen Yi finished reading the superpower introduction, he immediately began a firsthand test.

While in a Telepathy state, he could clearly see everything within twenty meters around him, even with his eyes closed, including buildings, various plants, and so on.

And he viewed it from a 360° bird’s-eye perspective, with even the black fog unable to block his vision!

This was practically a wallhack!

Moreover, in this state, Shen Yi could see a white aura flowing around each of the three women beside him.

Although there was no written explanation, Shen Yi could understand the meaning of the white aura the moment he saw it.

White represented trust and loyalty toward himself.

The whiter it was, the more loyal they proved to be.

Su Yun had a flawless white aura like polished jade.

Zhou Wan’er and the long-haired girl each had a faint white aura mixed with nearly fifty percent gray.

Gray represented neutrality, meaning a lack of trust.

Within the twenty-meter radius around Shen Yi, there were many purely gray things.

For example, the mutated trees lining the road and the grass and plants on the ground all exhibited a gray hue.

In other words, as long as Shen Yi did not provoke these plants, they would never attack him because they held no hostility toward him.

As for black, there was none at the moment.

Black represented absolute hostility, and if someone displayed a black aura, it meant they were prepared to attack Shen Yi.

Whenever a hostile presence appeared within twenty meters of Shen Yi, regardless of how they hid, he could sense it immediately.

This was freaking like a cheat!

Shen Yi also realized that combining Telepathy with Teleportation was like a cheat within a cheat!

Telepathy provided a 360° bird’s-eye view plus x-ray vision to pinpoint enemy locations, and Teleportation allowed him to close in on them instantly!

Combined, these two superpowers produced an effect greater than the sum of their parts… it was absolutely incredible!

“With this superpower, even if I encounter enemies like those color-changing geckos that like to ambush, I can detect them immediately!” Shen Yi said excitedly.

This superpower was awesome!

From now on, he would never have to worry about people or monsters sneaking up on him.

Furthermore, if any of the women beside him ever turned hostile, Shen Yi could detect it at once, preventing him from being stabbed in the back…literally.

Although his detection range was currently only twenty meters, it was sufficient.

Besides, there was still a pile of fruits in System Space!

If consuming fruits could upgrade a superpower’s level, he could soon max out Telepathy!

“The bird’s-eye view is an active superpower that I have to trigger, while perceiving goodwill and hostility is a passive superpower that triggers on its own… nice! Very convenient!”

Shen Yi was very satisfied.

That way, whenever an enemy approached and displayed hostility, he could detect it instantly without having to keep the god’s-eye view on all the time.

Otherwise, it would drain his stamina.

Yes, releasing an active superpower consumed stamina, and if Shen Yi’s Constitution hadn’t been strong enough, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the simultaneous drain of both superpowers.

“Physical Evolution is very important; it seems that most superpowers consume stamina like a mana bar?”

Shen Yi pondered thoughtfully.

He finally understood the all-purpose potential of the Physical Evolution superpower!

Physical Evolution could improve Constitution and increase the stamina cap, while other superpowers consumed stamina; if his stamina wasn’t sufficient, no matter how powerful the superpowers were, they would be limited.

For example, the bug-level Teleportation superpower would be impressive if Shen Yi’s body hadn’t been enhanced; using Teleportation ten times in a row would be considered awesome.

Not to mention combining it with Telepathy for teleportation; the stamina consumption would be even higher, and he probably couldn’t do it more than seven or eight times.

From this, the importance of the Physical Evolution superpower was clear.

“So that means Zhao Tao’s lightning superpower isn’t strong enough, not only because its level is low but also because his stamina can’t support continuous casting.”

Thinking that way, Shen Yi understood the reason.

And other people probably couldn’t discover this reason even after years of exploration.

“My Combat Power has risen from 10 to 30, doubling… it’s really great! It looks like pairing Teleportation with Telepathy can indeed significantly boost combat strength!”

Shen Yi looked at the panel, and he also discovered that this Combat Power did not account for any external items.

In other words, if he used a gun, his Combat Power would increase further; it just wasn’t calculated.

Next, was testing whether superpower fruits could be used to upgrade!

Shen Yi closed his eyes, activated Telepathy to guide him, drew a large handful of superpower fruits from storage, and shoved them into his mouth one by one as if he were eating beans.

Regardless of whether they could upgrade his superpowers, once the fruits entered his body, his organs and limbs felt cold as if electrified, and the sensation was truly exhilarating!

Even if eating superpower fruits couldn’t upgrade him, Shen Yi didn’t mind treating them like a drug and binging on them.

After all, they had no side effects… only pure pleasure.

Especially when several superpower fruits were consumed in succession, it felt even better than the moment they first kicked in; he felt completely numb with pleasure!

[Ding!]

[Your Telepathy has upgraded to lv2!]

[Telepathy (lv2): You can use your mind to perceive all hostility and goodwill within forty meters of yourself, and you can see every scene within forty meters around you without using your eyes and without any obstacles blocking you.]

Shen Yi didn’t even know how he had binge-consumed over a dozen superpower fruits at once; in any case, he had suddenly leveled up.

The range of Telepathy had directly doubled to forty meters!

At that moment, the environment he could see was richer and his field of vision was much broader.

It was indeed possible to upgrade a superpower by the number of fruits consumed!

Having gotten this answer, Shen Yi did not hold back the superpower fruits; he kept feeding them into his mouth, experiencing the dual pleasure of his body’s sensation and the upgrades…

After all, his rate of consuming one superpower fruit per second meant there was no way he could finish them all!

[Ding!]

[Your Telepathy has upgraded to lv3!]

…

[Ding!]

[Your Telepathy has upgraded to lv4!]

…

[Ding!]

[Your Telepathy has upgraded to lv5!]

When Shen Yi returned to the residential complex with the three women, he had already reached level 5.

However, because he had binged so much in one go, he felt his internal organs all cooling…

His limbs felt ice-cold!

“Damn, it looks like I need to take a break from binging; although eating the fruits is exhilarating, I can’t consume them all at once.”

With his hands and feet icy cold, Shen Yi thought this and temporarily stored the fruits he was holding into System Space.

[Telepathy (lv5): You can use your mind to perceive all hostility and goodwill within 250 meters of yourself, and you can see every scene within 250 meters around you without using your eyes and without any obstacles blocking you.]

A super long-range of 250 meters for x-ray vision!

It was literally like cheating!

Moreover, because he had reached level 5, Shen Yi discovered that activating the superpower now consumed even slightly less stamina!

Logically, higher superpower levels should consume more stamina, right? But strangely, its consumption had decreased.

This was awesome; it meant Shen Yi could use it more recklessly without worrying about excessive stamina drain.

With that in mind, Shen Yi stopped and swept Telepathy across the front of Building 6.

Very quickly, he found the dangerous mutated black spider…
