Chapter 29: Lord Song, I Think Something’s Off with Me

“Song Lufeng, happy birthday.”

Gu Man had remembered this date.

“Is the cake sweet?”

“Sweet…”

Song Lufeng ate the cake, each bite was full of sweetness.

The sweet cake also helped with the recovery of his powers and an increase in strength.

But no matter how sweet the cake was, it couldn’t compare to the sweetness in his heart.

Gu Man snapped a picture of her own cake.

【Found items for delivery, do you want to send them?】

“Just send the photo.”

【Okay.】

The photo was sent, and Gu Man’s voice was full of joy.

“I’m eating cake too! Look at this huge cake, I’m almost done eating it!”

“I could never eat this much before!”

Song Lufeng’s voice trembled slightly with disbelief.

“Any other changes? Like increased strength, sharper senses, or a sudden interest in things like fire or water?”

Hearing his voice, Gu Man casually lifted the redwood tea table, which weighed nearly a ton.

“…”

She swore she just lifted it casually.

But the strength was far beyond what she imagined.

Her ears caught the sound of a cat purring in the yard, a dog howling, and even the distant sound of cars driving…

Through the window, she could see trees, flowers, grass, a villa hundreds of meters away, and neighbors walking by in the darkness…

“…”

She withdrew her gaze.

“My strength really has increased, and my hearing and vision are incredibly sharp. I was startled by it myself.”

“As for other things… I haven’t noticed anything yet.”

Song Lufeng’s voice was filled with a barely suppressed chuckle, his previously sharp and defined features softened considerably.

“Don’t worry, this is a sign of your powers awakening.”

“Although I’m shocked by the speed of the awakening, there shouldn’t be any other possibility.”

“Congratulations, Savior.”

Awakening powers?

Gu Man was stunned.

These words felt both unfamiliar and sci-fi.

It seemed like something that should never happen in normal life.

And it certainly didn’t seem to have anything to do with her.

Yet, here they were, strangely appearing in her life?

Song Lufeng comforted her kindly.

“Savior, you’re amazing. Even the most outstanding ability users here take one to three months to awaken their powers.”

“But you did it in less than two days.”

Gu Man felt reassured, accepting his compliment with ease.

“Then what kind of powers will I have?”

“Not clear yet. I’ll send you a power detector, you can test it.”

After saying this, a small metal box glowing faintly red appeared on the tea table.

The box opened from the top.

“Savior, place your hand inside, and the detector will measure the amplitude of your abilities and provide the corresponding value.”

“The higher the value, the stronger and rarer the abilities.”

Gu Man, curious, placed her hand on it.

No value.

She tried again, still no value appeared.

Forget it, maybe her power was just strength, sharp hearing, and good eyesight.

That was already quite impressive. No need to ask for too much.

Gu Man accepted it.

When she told Song Lufeng about it and was about to send the box back, Song Lufeng stopped her.

No value?

Even the weakest power should have a value.

Even if it was just an F-level super strength power.

But the Savior had awakened abilities, and yet no value showed.

There were only two possibilities.

1. The machine was broken.
2. Like him, her power exceeded the machine’s ability to detect it.

“Let’s leave it there for now.”

Song Lufeng didn’t take back the box.

Gu Man didn’t insist on returning it.

At this moment, the cake shop called.

“Please wait, I ordered a lot of cakes and bread.”

“Since today is your birthday, you can decide where the cakes and bread should go.”

Originally, Gu Man planned to give these cakes and bread to the people around Song Lufeng.

Some of them had children or grandchildren, and surely they hadn’t had sweet cake before.

What child wouldn’t like it?

But it just so happened that today was his birthday.

So, let him decide.

The polite staff delivered the cakes and left the villa.

Gu Man snapped a few photos.

“The cakes are on their way, please be ready to receive them.”

“Happy birthday, good night.”

After sending the sweet-smelling cakes, Gu Man wished Song Lufeng good night.

She lay down on a soft bed. Outside, the heat was intense, but inside the room, the temperature was just right.

The arrays made from crystal cores emitted colorful lights that gathered around Gu Man.

A soft glow surrounded her, but she was unaware of it as she slept.

Beep beep beep!

The values on the power detector in the living room jumped to a critical level before settling back down. No values appeared again.

Meanwhile, online, her nuclear-powered car was gradually causing a storm. Shares and comments were rising rapidly.

It even formed a trending topic.

People were flocking in, commenting:

【AI car, what a disgrace!】

【What AI car? Open your eyes and look, is this an AI car?】

【This car is so much cooler in person than in photos or videos, it runs like it’s flying, and there’s no noise at all!】

【No way, I just took a nap and you’re telling me the weather changed? Has our country’s car technology advanced this far?】

【Now, immediately, I want to know everything about this car. I want to buy it!】

【I checked online, this model is unique!】

【Guys, this car is definitely going to be a hit! I asked a few major car companies’ customer service, and they were all amazed by it!】

【If our country really makes this car, why bother buying imported ones? Buying this one is better!】

The nuclear-powered car was creating a storm online.

Offline, the storm was also brewing.

Mu Bai Man, the daughter of the Mu Group’s leader, was arguing fiercely with the company’s elders. After convincing the group, she asked her father to increase the offer and prepared to visit Gu Man.

Meanwhile, a larger force had already scientifically analyzed the car’s data.

The scientists looked at each other.

“This car runs on controlled nuclear fusion?”

A guess caused countless storms.

Thunder rumbled.

“Do not intervene yet. Do not take any forced actions against Miss Gu Man. She has already sent friendly signals to the Lotus Group. Let’s start with the Lotus Group.”

So, the president of the Lotus Group was urgently summoned for a meeting.

When he returned, the price had been increased tenfold.

The present world was in turmoil.

And so was the world of the apocalypse.
