The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 831 Liu Qinghong persuades Molly to surrender

For Liang Yuan, his biggest secret is the system.

Besides the system, Liang Yuan's versatile genes are also an incredibly powerful talent.

This is the strongest talent the system identified for him, and also the most suitable evolutionary direction for his original [Evolution] ability.

Indeed, with the help of the system, the ever-changing demonic ape gene continues to unleash its potential, and can transform into more and more gene species.

To date, Liang Yuan has collected a total of nine gene species!

It is precisely because of his multidimensional genetic makeup that he appears so powerful and without any weaknesses.

If it's the ability of another superhuman, there will always be weaknesses.

The only weakness of the Hundred-Change Demon Ape gene might be its slow development.

The early-stage Hundred-Change Demon Ape gene species did not possess any attack or defense capabilities.

It's just that they are better able to adapt to various extreme environments in terms of survival.

However, among the various genetic attributes such as strength and agility, the Hundred-Change Demon Ape does not have an advantage.

Its power depends on the types of genes it transforms into.

In other words, the Hundred-Transformation Demon Ape provides a platform for other genetic species to take the stage and demonstrate their combat power.

Clearly, this is a developmental ability.

It takes time to cultivate that ability.

However, the problem is that in a world of great floods, there are countless crises and dangers that could arise at any moment.

And the genetic material is so hard to find, and it's not easy to condense.

Therefore, it's not actually a good thing for ordinary people to awaken the Hundred-Transformation Demon Ape gene.

They may very well die before they find the second gene.

Liang Yuan was able to quickly make up for this deficiency thanks to the system.

But what about Kim Se-young from Sprout Company?

According to Liu Qinghong, the other party's copying ability can copy anyone's ability. What kind of bug-like superpower is this?
Even Liang Yuan himself was a little envious.

This is much more convenient than his ever-changing magical ape.

The ever-changing demonic ape also needs to condense the corresponding gene species in order to simulate transformations.

But others can directly copy superpowers.

If the opponent directly copies your Hundred Transformations Demon Ape talent, wouldn't that be equivalent to helping the opponent become stronger?
Liang Yuan could not accept this.

"Tell me, how did Jin Shirong copy his opponent's superpower?"

Liang Yuan looked at Liu Qinghong and asked this crucial question.

If someone can copy your superpowers just by looking at you, then there's absolutely no way to solve that.

But Liang Yuan felt it shouldn't be like that.

This method of replicating superpowers is too simple, and Liang Yuan finds it hard to imagine what the principle behind it is.

Liu Qinghong said, "I don't know either. All we know is that Jin Shirong can use many superpowers, and most of them are the same superpowers we have seen in our nascent enemies."

“We even suspect that our superpowers have already been copied by Jin Shirong.”

"But we really don't know exactly how he did it."

Liang Yuan frowned: "Didn't you investigate?"

Liu Qinghong lowered his head: "We also investigated secretly. According to our investigation, he would bring the target back each time and then disappear for a while."

"By the time I made my next move, I had already mastered that person's abilities, but that person had already disappeared."

"We suspect that the person is already dead, but we don't know exactly how he copied the other person's abilities."

Liang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "When he copied your abilities, didn't you feel anything?"

"Uh, we don't know when he copied our abilities."

"And we don't even know if he has the ability to copy ours."

"So far, we haven't seen him use our abilities."

Liang Yuan stroked his chin: "You mean, he might not also be able to replicate your abilities?"

Liu Qinghong said, "I think it's unlikely. With such abilities, how could he not copy our abilities?"

"I think he may have copied it a long time ago, but just hasn't used it."

Liang Yuan disagreed with this view, arguing that if something has already been copied, what can't be used?

It is highly likely that Jin Shirong did not directly copy their superpowers.

Could there be some special conditions for Jin Shirong to replicate superpowers?
If that's the case, then this ability has been greatly weakened.

Liang Yuan then asked, "Do you know how many superpowers Jin Shirong possesses?"

"I don't know either. He's been taking action less and less lately. Whatever he wants, we have to get it for him."

How many kinds do you know?

"I know of at least thirty kinds," Liu Qinghong said after recalling for a moment.

Liang Yuan's heart sank immediately.

More than thirty kinds? This is the only one Liu Qinghong knows. What about the ones she doesn't know?
Just how many superpowers does Jin Shirong possess?
Liang Yuan frowned. Although superpowers and genes are different, even the same superpower, such as mental superpowers, can manifest different abilities.

For example, mental attacks, telekinesis, and mind reading all primarily rely on mental power as their main attribute.

However, the abilities they demonstrate are different.

Jin Shirong displayed more than thirty different abilities, and Liang Yuan was unsure of the extent of the range of supernatural attributes among them.

If we consider these abilities as skills, then it's equivalent to the other party possessing at least thirty different skills.

Liang Yuan immediately asked, "Of his more than thirty superpowers, how many superpower attributes are there if we classify them according to their attributes?"

Liu Qinghong naturally understood Liang Yuan's meaning. She quickly calculated in her mind and then said, "I estimate there are no fewer than ten types."

"Hmm? Ten kinds? Which ten kinds?"

"I've seen him use a physical ability, similar to rapidly recovering from injuries, which is called immortality."

"Even if it pierces the heart, as long as he doesn't die immediately, he can recover."

"This ability should be of the physical type," Liang Yuan nodded slightly.

Liu Qinghong added, "He has also used elemental abilities."

"I have seen him use similar abilities to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Then there are some rare elemental types, such as ice, dark, lightning, light, and mental attributes, which he has also used."

Liang Yuan fell silent for a moment, listening to Liu Qinghong's description. It seemed that Jin Shirong knew everything that Liang Yuan knew.

Even things that you don't know, the other person does.

For example, Liang Yuan doesn't have that kind of physical ability like immortality.

He didn't even condense a similar gene species.

That's not quite right. In fact, strictly speaking, the Hundred Transformations Demon Ape can be considered a physical-type superpower.

However, it's not a superpower that tends towards restoring the physical body.

"He really is a formidable enemy."

Liang Yuan sighed, then said, "The alliance between Mengya and Kerry Technology poses a significant threat. I can't just stand by and watch them join forces."

"There is only one way to break their alliance: turn them into enemies."

Liang Yuan stood up and said, "I need a messenger, and I can't think of anyone else who can do that besides you."

"Come with me."

Liu Qinghong quickly followed, and couldn't help but say, "Master, I really can't hide it from Jin Shirong."

Liang Yuan shook his head: "No, I don't need you to hide anything. I just need you to tell him everything you've seen."

Liang Yuan chuckled and, amidst Liu Qinghong's puzzled gaze, waved his hand, taking her into the Sumeru Space.

Inside the Sumeru Space, the energy-sealing array has been canceled, and the witch Molly has been fitted with a enslavement collar and is currently being held captive by two Sentinel robots.

When Liu Qinghong entered, the first thing he saw was the witch Molly, and his heart skipped a beat.

When Molly saw Liu Qinghong, she exclaimed in surprise, "Even you've been arrested?"

Liu Qinghong didn't speak, but looked at Liang Yuan beside her with some confusion on her face.

She didn't know what Liang Yuan was going to do.

Liang Yuan said, "You wait here."

After saying that, he disappeared.

Inside the Sumeru Space, only Liu Qinghong and Molly remained.

Molly looked at Liu Qinghong, who was completely unharmed, and immediately realized something. She shouted angrily, "You traitor, you surrendered?"

Liu Qinghong frowned, glanced at Molly, and said, "You've seen my master's strength before, haven't you?"

"Tell me, what am I supposed to do if I don't surrender? Am I supposed to just stubbornly resist?"

"Heh, I worked my way up from the very bottom, from an ordinary waiter before the apocalypse, to where I am today. Why should I die for the grudges between Sprout and your Kerry Technology and Yangshan Shelter?"

Molly shouted angrily, "You're a director of Sprout, how can you do this to Jin Shirong's kindness and support?"

"My skills weren't given to me by Jin Shirong!"

Liu Qinghong immediately laughed and said, "On the contrary, Jin Shirong only accepted me into Yangshan Refuge because he saw that I was strong enough."

"So don't try to morally blackmail me with those kinds of words!"

"I have never owed anything to Mengya. On the contrary, over the years, since I joined Mengya, how much territory has I expanded for Mengya, and how many people and resources have I seized?"

"So, witch, stop being so naive. In this world, we are all just living for ourselves."

"You should just surrender now and stop trying to struggle."

"You have no idea how terrifying my master is. I dare say that even if Jin Shirong or James were here in person, they might not be able to defeat my master!"

Liu Qinghong's expression showed a hint of emotion. To be honest, before meeting Liang Yuan, she thought Jin Shirong was already the chosen one of this world.

The ability to copy—such a terrifying power, who can rival it?
It wasn't until James and Kerry Technology appeared that Liu Qinghong realized there was always someone better.

At the time, she felt that perhaps only these two experts in the world could build such a large and safe shelter.
