Zombie Apocalypse: Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person.

At first, he felt numb all over and couldn't move. He was hit so hard that he had to retreat repeatedly and was even sent flying backward.

By the middle of the chain, his lightning resistance visibly increased, and even after being knocked back a few steps, he could still walk back step by step while enduring the electric current.

In the end, he stood directly in front of Lei Jiangzi, letting the thick current strike his body without even flinching, only feeling a tingling sensation all over his body.

It even felt a little...pleasant?

Does that mean I won't be afraid of getting electrocuted anymore?!

For a full twenty minutes, his body was tempered and transformed by the electric current.

A wisp of lightning-attribute energy silently seeped into the depths of the cell and settled down.

The overall quality score, which had been stuck at 200 points, surged all the way to 235 points before gradually losing momentum and stopping.

"Slap...slap..."

The power of the thunder seed finally ran out, leaving only a few scattered small arcs of electricity on the fruit, crackling occasionally.

"System, can it continue processing the results?"

[How about giving the spirit palace a free rein?]

"Okay, you can put the fruit away after I pick it."

【OK】

Shenhe looked up, leaped, and reached out a hand to pluck the only blue diamond-shaped fruit at the top.

The fruit is crystal clear and slightly cool to the touch.

A few faint arcs of electricity occasionally flashed across the surface, but to him now, it was no different than a tickle.

"Can we just eat it directly?"

【Can】

The fruit was small, and when brought close, it had a faint fishy smell. Shenhe held his breath and put it in his mouth. It was slightly salty, and the flesh was tender and juicy. A tiny bit of electrical energy bounced on the tip of his tongue, making his tongue feel slightly numb.

He didn't savor it, swallowing it in large gulps and finishing it in a few bites, even licking the juice off his lips, not wasting a single drop.

When I first ate the fruit, I felt a slight numbness in my stomach. After a few seconds, the numbness suddenly intensified!

The fruit pulp transformed into a violent yet pure purple energy, recklessly rushing into his meridians!

Once the energy entered his meridians, it became more docile, carefully meandering throughout his body. Wherever the purple energy passed, his meridians tingled and trembled!

The lightning factors that had been hiding in his cells seemed to have received a call, slowly gathering in his meridians and merging with that purple energy, gradually growing stronger!

The purple energy grew wider and wider, eventually even surpassing the width of his third-tier metal-type special ability energy.

It almost caught up with the fourth-order ice energy!

"Sizzle—!"

"Snap—!"

As the lightning power grew stronger, Shenhe's entire body was crackling with arcs of electricity.

Shenhe also sensed something else: the thicker the purple energy, the faster it flowed through the meridians. The purple energy, which had been timid just moments before, was now bullying the metal energy, pushing it to the side.

The metal-based energy suddenly shifted from near the center to the edge of the meridian, looking rather pathetic.

After the golden energy was pushed away, it tried to pry at the blue ice energy, but was pushed away by the ice energy.

After being pushed away, the purple one became obedient.

What's going on? Are they fighting for the center position?

The system provided the answer as soon as I thought about it.

[The lightning ability is something you awakened yourself; it's more compatible with your body and will reject outsiders.]

"Does it affect other superpowers?"

[There is a slight tendency for it to instinctively absorb energy from other supernatural abilities to strengthen itself, but it's not serious and there's no need to worry. Naturally generated supernatural abilities all have this instinct; they will gradually grow on their own.]

After all, they don't have a system to help them!

When she said this, the system's female voice clearly carried a hint of arrogance and pride.

"As expected of the system, it's amazing!"

[Hehe, thank you for the compliment, host]

Remember, kill as many zombies as possible!

Shenhe was just praising the system on purpose, thinking that if she was happy, she might give him unexpected benefits.

Unexpectedly, the system reminded him again to kill more zombies. Could it be that the zombie world is about to undergo a huge change?

But the system never lied to him; it seems his vacation is over...

[Congratulations, host, on awakening your lightning-based superpower!]

[Lightning-type Ability - Tier 3]

As he pondered, the electric arcs on Shenhe's body gradually diminished, and the flow of purple energy slowed down.

At the same time, the system gave a notification that my special ability had been awakened.

Then the prompts stopped... no skills were given.

As expected, it's not the system's biological child...

If you treat your stepchildren well, do you think they won't take care of you in your old age?

Shenhe shook his head helplessly.

Really not necessarily.

But he's already at level three upon awakening?

He is truly gifted!

After a moment's thought, he realized what had happened. It must have been from the electric shocks he had just endured that left his body with a significant amount of lightning energy.

It's like paving the way in advance, which is why I woke up at level three. No wonder the system said that being electrocuted by Lei Jiangzi would bring many benefits.

Looking around, it was already getting light, so Shenhe quickly took out a set of clothes from his spatial storage and put them on.

After stretching my body, I felt refreshed and rejuvenated; I had already replenished what I had used up the night before.

He extended his right hand, and with a thought, the purple electric energy within his body activated.

The awakened superpower was indeed obedient, truly as easy to control as an arm; wherever the thought went, the energy followed.

A purple arc of electricity, a shade deeper than lavender, appeared in his palm, crackling and flickering.

"Slap!" "Slap!"

The electric arcs spread out further and further, and their numbers increased, with fine lightning crackling incessantly in the palm of the hand.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

Shenhe concentrated his mind, gathering and compressing the scattered electric arcs towards the center.

The lightning in his palm was rubbed together several times and gradually gathered into a sphere. The main body was a dense purple arc of electricity, and the edges were wrapped with a layer of blue-white electric light.

Countless tiny lightning bolts darted rapidly across the sphere's surface, crackling and popping with the hissing sound characteristic of high-voltage current, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

"You managed to rub a ball out of your hand?"

"The name 'Hands Ball' sounds awful, like something out of a cheap street stall. It needs a more catchy name."

"Purple, it's rumored to contain the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder! Thunder, lightning! Spherical, like a meatball! I've got it!"

"Xiaoting Pill! Hahahaha!"

"Xiaoting Pill! Stop it! Yes! Whoever gets hit by this thing will be utterly doomed!"

"I'm so talented! Hahahaha!"

"That's the name we'll use!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for developing your own lightning-based superpower and successfully naming it: Xiaoting Maru!]

[The host can purchase this skill card from the system shop for use by themselves or lightning-type ability users.]

【Xiao Ting Wan】

Shenhe, the ancestor of the lightning-type superpowers on Blue Star, comprehended the laws of thunder and lightning in the world when he first obtained his lightning-type superpowers. He observed the lightning falling from the nine heavens, slaughtered the alien insect race, and spent three breaths of time forcibly compressing the violent heavenly lightning energy. He abandoned the ordinary scattered electric arcs and condensed thousands of rushing lightning bolts into a solid lightning core, creating his unique killing move - Xiaoting Pill.

This skill is exclusive to the lightning type and can be cast instantly.

Shenhe remained silent: "..."
