I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!

Thousands of miles away, in the presidential office of the government building in the capital of the country hosting this island killing game.

Looking at Su Yu on the screen, who had just finished his battle with Chu Tianyang, His Excellency the President couldn't help but slap the table in admiration.

He immediately sent a video call to the general on the warship, and as soon as the call was connected, His Excellency the President couldn't wait to speak.

"See? Those guys really do have superpowers."

Looking at the general on the screen, the president's tone was filled with undisguised excitement.

"I saw it."

After answering the President's question, the general slowly lowered the hand that had been raised to his face in salute.

"Very good, bring this guy back. I want to study him carefully."

"The president's lips curled up," General Chong commanded.

If they could unlock the secrets of this superhuman and mass-produce superpowered warriors, then ruling the world would be no difficult task for them.

A person with superpowers can't cause much trouble, and their impact on the outcome of wars between nations is negligible.

But what if there were ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand superhumans?

These superhumans can not only serve as soldiers on the front lines, but also carry out missions such as infiltration and assassination.

His Excellency the President believes that, besides himself, others must also be eyeing the surviving superhuman.

What they need to do now is to capture this superhuman before other forces get involved, and whether it's through torture or dissection for research, they want to extract every last drop of value from him.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."

The general seemed to have anticipated the president's words and immediately accepted the order.

After hanging up the video call with the president, the general's face darkened.

Upon seeing this, the adjutant next to him quickly stepped forward.

"General, should we send someone to the island now to bring that superhuman over?"

As soon as the general gives the order, the adjutant will immediately begin to make the necessary arrangements.

"No, he'll come to us when he's collected all seven totem seals."

The general shook his head and said to his adjutant beside him.

Rather than obeying the president's orders to capture the superhuman and bring him back to the capital, the general had other plans.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, who was stranded on a deserted island, finally returned to the hiding place of Lu Jin and Wu Baohua after a long journey.

When he returned, Lu Jin and Wu Baohua had already woken up and were preparing to go out to look for Su Yu.

Seeing the other person's disheveled appearance, the two were startled.

Are you alright?

Wu Baohua was much quicker than Lu Jin, and immediately came to meet her.

"You were in a fight?"

Lu Jin followed closely behind. Upon seeing Su Yu's appearance, the girl felt a pang of heartache. She wanted to know who had hurt him so badly.

"It's alright."

Waving his hand to indicate that his injuries weren't that serious and he didn't need anyone's help, Su Yu led Esdeath to a place to sit down.

Su Yu took out food for four people from his spatial watch, along with two cans of beef and a bottle of fruit.

Su Yu placed the canned fruit in the middle of the four people, and then handed the rest of the food to Wu Baohua.

"Preparing lunch will be left to my older cousin."

Su Yu casually remarked that Wu Baohua would also take on this task voluntarily.

"Big cousin?"

Lu Jin and Wu Baohua looked at Su Yu with suspicion and asked in unison.

"Don't look at me like that. It's just a form of address. Besides, we're such good friends. Calling me by my first name or 'Brother Wu' would feel too formal. My mom's surname is also Wu, so calling me 'Big Cousin' isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Su Yu smiled and explained to the two that although it was just a change in address, it also meant that he acknowledged Wu Baohua.

"Hmm, it's pretty good."

Wu Baohua naturally had no objections, laughing heartily as he took the item from Su Yu's hand.

"If my cousin is willing, that's fine. As for me, I'll call you whatever you want."

Lu Jin chuckled. She also felt that this form of address was much more intimate than calling him Brother Wu.

Not only did it bring her closer to Wu Baohua, it also subtly strengthened her relationship with Su Yu.

While Wu Baohua was preparing lunch, Su Yu recounted his experiences to the two of them.

When Lu Jin and Wu Baohua heard that Su Yu had killed a veteran player who had come out of the same room, their eyes widened in surprise.

The two were not particularly moved by Chu Tianyang's death; they were more surprised by Su Yu's strength.

After all, to Lu Jin and Wu Baohua, Chu Tianyang was no different from a stranger; once he died, he was gone.

You should know that many people have died on this island, and Lu Jin also has a life on her hands.

People in this world can die, so why can't players in the Rubik's Cube Space die?

What Lu Jin and Wu Baohua didn't expect was that Su Yu acted immediately, and even Chu Tianyang, a veteran Rubik's Cube player, was no exception.

"Speaking of which, what abilities have you two awakened?"

Su Yu then changed the subject, inquiring about Lu Jin and Wu Baohua's special abilities.

"I've awakened a transformation ability; I can transform into a lion."

Wu Baohua, who had just finished preparing the self-heating rice and was trying to heat up the canned beef, said to Su Yu behind him without thinking.

"Come on, activate your ability and let me see."

Su Yu was a little curious because he had never seen a transformation ability before.

Wu Baohua didn't hesitate and immediately stood up, activating his special ability.

His skin turned bronze, and his body grew taller and stronger in just a few seconds.

He was over two meters tall, with bulging muscles that looked like they were cast from cast iron.

Its fur became unusually thick, and it had a long lion tail trailing behind it. Its nails were sharp and pointed.

Anyone who glances at Wu Baohua at this moment will feel that he is full of power after his transformation.

"Great job!"

Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. Wu Baohua's special ability was indeed very useful.

Suddenly remembering that he still had the giant axe he had seized from Chu Tianyang in his spatial watch, Su Yu took it out and tossed it to the other man.

Wu Baohua caught the giant axe thrown by Su Yu and swung it.

With Wu Baohua's full-force swing, the giant axe whistled through the air.

"It's yours now."

Su Yu laughed, saying that this giant axe was more suitable for Wu Baohua after his transformation than for its original owner, Chu Tianyang.

"This won't do."

Wu Baohua refused to accept Su Yu's gift no matter what, as he already owed the other party too much.

Putting aside the guns, bullets, and grenades, even the seeds he used to awaken were obtained from Su Yu.

Now that he has another giant axe, Wu Baohua feels that he owes Su Yu a debt he can never repay in this lifetime.

Wu Baohua didn't have a spatial watch to assess the weapon's value, but he wasn't stupid; he recognized the giant axe's extraordinary worth at a glance.

"You don't even have a decent melee weapon yet, how can you expect me to do everything for you?"

As he spoke, Wu Baohua returned the giant axe to Su Yu.

"Who told you I don't have melee weapons?"

Su Yu took out the Tang sword Bai Hong and, in front of Lu Jin and Wu Baohua, decisively drew the sword from its sheath.

"this......"

Looking at the Tang sword in Su Yu's hand, Wu Baohua was at a loss for what to do.

"Just keep it, don't think I'm the type to go around hacking and slashing with people with an axe!"

Su Yu sheathed his Tang sword, Bai Hong, and turned his gaze to Lu Jin.

Wu Baohua also deactivated his transformation. Although he no longer had a spatial watch and could only carry the giant axe on his back, his body had been strengthened by the Black Iron Seed, so carrying an extra weapon wouldn't be a burden for him.

Lu Jin knew what Su Yu wanted to say, and without him having to ask, she walked up to the young man, leaning on her cane.

"My ability is replication."

Lu Jin's words shocked everyone present.

"Copy?"

Su Yu was so frightened by Lu Jin's abilities that his heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, it's possible to replicate other people's abilities."

Lu Jin nodded and explained her special abilities to Su Yu again.

"When a newcomer awakens a special ability, they have five minutes to ask questions. I believe that with your intelligence, you have already asked everything that needed to be asked. So I will get straight to the point: what level is your ability?"

Staring intently at Lu Jin, Su Yu asked, enunciating each word clearly.

"SSR".

Lu Jin didn't hesitate and gave her answer in the next second.

It's actually an SSR-level ability?

Su Yu frowned, pondering to himself.

The level of this ability is neither high nor low, and like his abilities, he starts as a blank slate.

However, if you perform well, you can replicate an exceptionally powerful SSR-level ability, or an overpowered UR-level ability, and then you'll take off.

The problem is that if you're unlucky, you can only replicate an R-level or SR-level ability, which is really bad.

In general, Lu Jin's special ability depends on the strength of the ability of the object she copies.

If she replicates an R-level ability, then her SSR-level ability will drop two ranks.

If you were to copy a UR-level ability, it would actually increase instead of decrease.

"Why don't you try replicating your cousin's abilities?"

Su Yu looked at Lu Jin and felt that the other party's ability should be the same as his own, with no limit on the number of times it could be copied. It was the type that could be copied again after being copied.

No, that won't do.

Lu Jin's pretty face flushed red to the roots of her ears in an instant.

Su Yu looked puzzled. Could it be that the other party wanted to replicate his ability?

It wasn't that he disagreed, but the problem was that Su Yu's abilities were starting from scratch!

The atmosphere fell silent as everyone, including Esdeath and Wu Baohua, waited for Lu Jin's explanation.

Lu Jin's face turned even redder, and after a long while, she stammered out her answer.

"There are prerequisites to my ability to replicate other people's skills."

"What are the conditions?"

"this......"

"Is there anything else you can't say?"

Su Yu looked at Lu Jin with confusion, unable to understand why the other was so conflicted.

When pressed a little, Lu Jin couldn't care less about anything else.

Before the other three could react, Lu Jin suddenly threw herself into Su Yu's arms.

With one hand gripping her crutch tightly and the other hand holding onto Su Yu's shoulder, Lu Jin leaned her face close to him.

The next instant, Lu Jin kissed Su Yu's lips!

Su Yu was completely taken aback by Lu Jin's actions. Having had his first kiss stolen, his mind went blank.

A soft touch came to her lips, and she could smell the faint fragrance emanating from Lu Jin.

"Hmm..."

Su Yu subconsciously wanted to say something, but Lu Jin cut him off.

Lu Jin's attack continued, and the hand gripping Su Yu's shoulder tightened even more.

Su Yu was completely numb until he was almost suffocating. Esdeath, realizing what was happening, rushed forward and forcefully pulled Lu Jin away.

A faint, ethereal thread stretched and elongated between Su Yu and Lu Jin before finally breaking off reluctantly.

"What are you doing!"

Esdeath's tone was no longer questioning Lu Jin, but rather an angry rebuke.

Lu Jin didn't answer Esdeath, but instead gasped for breath.

Then, to Wu Baohua's astonishment, the girl raised her right hand.

"Come forth, Valkyrie!"

As Lu Jin's voice rang out, an ancient and heavy gate appeared in everyone's sight.

The door slowly opened, and a petite girl with snow-white skin, golden hair, and emerald green eyes, whose face was beautiful even without makeup, and who had a single ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up) on her head, walked out.

The girl wore a dark blue dress and silver-white armor with blue patterns. Her long hair was tied up behind her head, giving her a gentle, elegant, and beautiful appearance.

Approaching Lu Jin, the girl placed her longsword before her, her hands resting on the hilt, her eyes fixed straight ahead on her host.

"Having answered the call, I ask you, are you my Master?"

The girl's voice was very pleasant, but that did not detract from the composure in her tone.

"Holy crap, it's Saber King!"

Su Yu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He never dreamed that Lu Jin would summon the Saber King after copying his ability.

Good heavens, this is outrageous.

He summoned Lao Ai, and Lu Jin summoned the Saber King.

"Become my sword, and fight for me."

Lu Jin extended her hand to the Saber King, and anyone could see that she was quite satisfied with the Valkyrie she had summoned.

"It's my pleasure."

Artoria's expression softened, and she grasped the hand that Lu Jin had extended to her.

"Hey, you still haven't answered me, what were you doing just now!"

Esdeath didn't care at all who the Valkyrie summoned was; she was still resentful about Lu Jin forcibly kissing Su Yu.

Turning to look at Esdeath, Lu Jin saw the fighting spirit on her face and knew that she would not get away with it if she did not give an answer.

Pouting, Lu Jin had no choice but to explain her reasons for doing so in detail.

"If I want to replicate someone else's abilities, I must obtain their bodily fluids."

Lu Jin's words immediately made everyone present understand why she refused to replicate Wu Baohua's abilities.

It's not that I look down on the other party's special ability, but the prerequisites for replicating that ability are just too demanding.

Not to mention Lu Jin, even Wu Baohua felt that Su Yu was more suitable to be the copy subject than himself.
