Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!

Chapter 40 Advancement (A long chapter of 10,000 words, please give rewards and monthly tickets)

On the other side, inside Qianqian's mechanical repair shop.

"Oh no, oh no! It's bad enough that Han Xiao is missing, but how come Ye Xiu is missing too, and he even disappeared before Han Xiao?"

Lu Qian paced back and forth, her face full of anxiety and self-reproach.

"If only I had bought them each a used phone beforehand, otherwise I can't contact them now."

"Don't worry, maybe they just ran away with the bucket," Old Man Lu said, picking his nose to comfort him.

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Lü Qian immediately regretted it. She should have given them each an extra fifty yuan in wages. What should she do now?

Such a high-quality employee disappeared after working for less than a month.

Just then, Lü Qian suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she came to the old man Lü and said, "Grandpa, you always say that you are very powerful and your words carry a lot of weight. Could you ask someone to help me find it?"

"Heh, do you think I'm stupid?" Old Lu chuckled, then complained, "These two guys go out to fool around every night. One always comes back covered in blood, and the other reeks of garbage dumps. It's better that they leave early, so they don't corrupt you."

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? So what if they have a little secret? As long as their salary requirements are low... cough cough, no, as long as they work hard, that's fine. Besides, they really like my cooking. They always run to a corner and finish their food in no time."

"Moreover, they are both very kind-hearted, preferring to go hungry themselves rather than let each other go hungry."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Lü chuckled again, "Are you sure it's not that they think your cooking is bad?"

"Grandpa, are you going to help or not?"

"I won't help!"

"You're not going to help, huh?" Lü Qian smiled, but a dark aura emanated from her. "Do you believe I can burn all those DVDs you've collected over the years?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Lü immediately shuddered and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Grandpa will help you, okay?"

"Grandpa, you're so kind!" Lü Qian smiled sweetly.

"Tch." Old Lu curled his lip, walked to the side, dialed Old Gao's number, and said, "Old man, did you guys take Ye Xiu and Han Xiao away?"

"……right."

"Alright, I'm done talking nonsense. Hurry up and bring them both back. If I can't see the disc, you can forget about seeing it either."

"No, this is putting me in a difficult position; it's against the rules."

"Stop talking nonsense. You're the one who set the rules. Don't forget, you still owe me a lot of favors."

"Alright, I can bring Ye Xiu back first. Han Xiao can't come back yet; that guy actually has quite a few rare blueprints for mechanical engineering."

"As long as Ye Xiu comes back, Han Xiao is not important to my granddaughter."

……

In a luxurious single cell, even though three days had passed, Ye Xiu was not in a hurry at all. He lay calmly on the bed and took the opportunity to collect his mission rewards.

Just as he opened the panel, a notification suddenly popped up:

[Rank A Quest [Seeds Sleep in the Dust], current progress 1.55%]

"Hmm? The Thirteenth Bureau has finally started its operation."

Ye Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. He had provided the Thirteenth Bureau with information about the Germinal Organization's branch base, so he had indirectly completed the task and could also increase the progress bar.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu couldn't help but think of the Sprout Organization's trump card—the Dead Hand System.

This is a pre-programmed automated nuclear counterattack sequence. Once the nascent stage faces the threat of annihilation, all nuclear missiles in all bases will be launched at the six countries, wiping out the entire world.

Therefore, even when the six countries had the upper hand in the war with Mengya and were only one step away from destroying it, they still backed down.

The root cause is this deadly system.

Even if the six nations could intercept 96% of the nuclear bombs, the remaining bombs would still be enough to cause devastating damage to the ecological environment of Aquamarine.

"Although the Dead Hand System is the trump card of Sprout, it is a good opportunity for me and can greatly shake the authority of the Sprout leader within the organization," Ye Xiu thought to himself, his eyes flashing.

Although most members of the Sprout Organization harbored intense hatred towards the six kingdoms, they largely adhered to the Sprout's ideals and hoped to create a new regime.

The Dead Hand system is in strong conflict with this concept.

"Phew!" Ye Xiu took a deep breath and regained his composure.

This matter is still far off for him and cannot be rushed. His most important task at present is to continue to improve his strength.

……

Not long after, the cell door suddenly opened, and Feng Jun walked in, saying, "The intelligence from the branch base has been confirmed. The director is ready to see you."

"Okay." Ye Xiu suppressed his excitement and left with Feng Jun.

Besides Director Gu Hui, there was another person in the office, namely Mei Tianxiang, the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Upon seeing the latter, Ye Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Ye Xiu, we are very satisfied with your sincerity. Congratulations on joining the Thirteenth Bureau family," said Director Gu Hui.

Upon seeing this, Mei Tianxiang's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut.

Ye Xiu's face also feigned great joy, as if he wished he could go through fire and water for the Thirteenth Bureau.

Gu Hui was very pleased to see this. "I like honest and ambitious children like you."

"According to the arrangements, you will be joining the Secret Operations Department, and the team members have already been assigned," Gu Hui said again.

"Okay." Ye Xiu nodded, his face beaming with joy.

But this time it's true.

After joining the secret operations department, he would have more opportunities to leave.

At the same time, a new notification appeared on the panel:

[You have joined a new faction!]

[Star Dragon Homeland Strategic Defense Bureau's favorability towards you increases by 350 points.]

"Huh, I didn't expect it to add another 50 points. Sure enough, being handsome and having a nice voice is an advantage everywhere." Ye Xiu's eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself.

At this moment, Gu Hui took out a black cell phone and handed it to Ye Xiu, saying, "Feng Jun's contact number is on it. You can contact him if you need anything in the future."

"Okay." Ye Xiu took the phone, glanced at it casually, and then put it in his pocket, pondering to himself.

The phone should have a special location tracking system installed. If you use it well, you might be able to leave the 13th Inning more easily.

"When can I look at the advanced knowledge?" Ye Xiu didn't want to waste time and asked directly.

Gu Hui thought for a moment and said, "We need you to hand over the information about Godora and Dark Star first, as long as..."

Before Gu Hui could finish speaking, Ye Xiu interrupted him: "That's absolutely impossible. I've already made my sincerity clear enough. If we want to cooperate in the future, I need to see your sincerity as well."

"Okay." Gu Hui didn't object. He had just mentioned it casually and hadn't held any expectations.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu felt a slight sense of relief.

But at that moment, Mei Tianxiang, the Minister of the Interior, suddenly spoke up: "Ye Xiu can learn advanced knowledge, but there must be restrictions, otherwise it would be unfair to other people who have made contributions."

Why do you talk so much?!

Ye Xiu gritted his teeth inwardly, wishing he could punch Mei Tianxiang's face into a chrysanthemum-like shape.

Gu Hui raised an eyebrow and asked, "What restrictions?"

"It's very simple. We'll limit Ye Xiu's time for learning advanced knowledge. If he wants to continue learning, he'll have to produce key information again." Mei Tianxiang said the words he had prepared in his mind. "For this first time, our Thirteenth Bureau can be generous and give Ye Xiu 35 minutes to learn."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hui stroked his chin, thinking that the suggestion seemed quite good. He then turned his gaze to Ye Xiu and said, "Ye Xiu, let's do it this way, but I can extend your study time to 1 hour and 15 minutes."

"Hmph!" Mei Tianxiang couldn't help but let out a satisfied hum upon seeing this, feeling refreshed. This group of people had long been dissatisfied with Ye Xiu's defection from Mengya, always feeling that he had some unknown secrets about coming to Xinglong.

Therefore, they will naturally not miss any opportunity to ridicule or restrict the other party.

Advanced knowledge is vast and profound; in just one or two hours, you can't even finish reading half of it, let alone learn it.

Hehe, let's see how you learn this?

mock up!

The Minister of the Interior, Mei Tianxiang, became increasingly smug.

Ye Xiu feigned some displeasure on his face, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

"As long as I invest my potential points, I can learn it in just a minute or two, whether it takes an hour or half an hour."

Seeing Mei Tianxiang's smug expression, Ye Xiu almost couldn't help but laugh, but he held it back with a pained look on his face.

Hold on, hold on, and make a fortune in silence.

……

Advanced knowledge is collected online, but can only be accessed from a few fixed mainframes. It is also encrypted multiple times, and given the technological level of Aquamarine, almost no hacker can crack it.

Ye Xiu and Gu Hui left the office and took the elevator to the ground floor of the headquarters.

"Bang!"

The specially designed elevator metal doors slowly opened, revealing a bright, silver-white metal corridor.

There are no guards here, but a large number of machine guns with automatic detection capabilities are hidden behind the walls. Once an intruder is detected, they can unleash a large amount of ammunition within 0.25 seconds, shooting 3600 holes in the intruder's body.

The defenses are very tight; in any case, no one has ever successfully breached this place.

After walking for about five minutes, Ye Xiu and Gu Hui arrived at the end of the corridor.

Before me was a very spacious spherical room, with a seemingly suspended passageway leading to the center of the room.

There is a rectangular monitor in the center of the room, along with a keyboard and mouse.

This is the supercomputer that Xinglong invested heavily in developing, known as the Xinglong Light.

"I've already had the backend unlock the relevant permissions for advanced knowledge and related basic knowledge of supernatural abilities. You don't have permission to view other confidential information, and we're monitoring you in real time. Basically, I'm telling you, don't try anything funny," Gu Hui said slowly.

"Don't worry, I, Ye Xiaoshuai, am a man of principle." Ye Xiu nodded sincerely, but inwardly he chuckled, thinking, "We won't play tricks, we'll use underhanded methods."

The person who made the promise is Ye Xiaoshuai, what does it have to do with me, Ye Xiu?

If you talk nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation!

Ye Xiu arrived at the switchboard and began searching for basic knowledge about the energy level branches of the supernatural ability system.

The reason for this is that the prerequisite for learning advanced knowledge is to learn the five basic knowledge items of a branch.

Soon, the screen displayed the basic knowledge of the five [Energy Level] branches provided by Star Dragon:

Basic Ability System: First-Order Gene Chain - Basic Enhancement

Basic Ability System: First-Order Gene Chain - Basic Cell Enhancement

Basic Ability System: First-Order Gene Chain - Basic Skeletal Strengthening

Basic Ability System: First-Order Gene Chain - Basic Mental Strength Enhancement

Basic Ability System: First-Order Gene Chain - Basic Brain Enhancement

Ye Xiu glanced at the scene and couldn't help but ponder to himself.

The three main branches of the supernatural ability career tree are: energy level, genes, and manipulation.

The three branches each correspond to a different direction.

Energy level corresponds to the power of superpowers, genes correspond to endurance, and control corresponds to the ability to manipulate.

Every branch is crucial.

[Basic Enhancement] Ye Xiu had already learned this basic professional knowledge when he was in the Valkyrie Laboratory. Now he only needs to learn the other four basic professional knowledge.

Ye Xiu regained his composure and began studying, consuming potential points.

[Would you like to consume 1 potential point to learn [Basic Cell Enhancement]?]

[Would you like to spend 1 potential point to learn the [Basic Skeletal Gene Theory]?]

[Would you like to consume 1 potential point to learn the [Basic Short Sleep Theory]?]

[Would you like to consume 1 potential point to learn [Basic Brain Domain Theory]?]

"Sure."

[Congratulations on successfully learning the basic knowledge [Basic Bone Gene Theory] and obtaining the expertise - Cell Strengthening]

[Cell Enhancement]: Cell enhancement increased by 10%, maximum energy capacity increased by 5%.

Congratulations on successfully learning the basics of "Basic Skeletal Gene Theory" and acquiring the specialization "Skeleton Enhancement"!

[Bone Strengthening]: Increases bone density and hardness by 10%.

Congratulations on successfully learning the basics of the "Basic Short Sleep Theory" and acquiring the specialty—Sleep Mastery!

[Sleep Mastery]: Reduces required sleep time by 10% and increases energy recovery speed by 10%.

Congratulations on successfully learning the basic knowledge of "Basic Brain Domain Theory" and acquiring the skill - beginner level!

[Basic Learning]: Active skill. This skill can be activated by consuming Qi. While under this skill's effect, learning speed increases by 10%, reaction speed increases by 5%, and damage from mental attacks is reduced by 5%.

[You have learned the five basic knowledge points of the energy level branch, and you have mastered the new skills [Basic Energy Regulation] and [Basic Super Burst]]

[Basic Qi Regeneration]: Increases Qi recovery by 5%, reduces Qi consumption by 6% when activating special abilities, reduces Qi consumption by 3% when activating skills, and increases the rate of Stamina to Qi conversion by 2%.

Generally speaking, skills labeled "beginner" or "simple" are the original versions of core professional skills.

The advanced version of [Unstoppable Strength] allows you to restore your strength through breathing, making it a core skill among the supernatural abilities.

[Basic Super Burst]: Active skill. By consuming Qi, the power of special abilities and skills can be increased. The more Qi invested, the greater the increase in the power of special abilities and skills, with a maximum of 110%.

The panel prompts kept refreshing in front of Ye Xiu's eyes.

At the same time, tremendous changes also occurred inside his body.

This made Ye Xiu feel that his own power had become stronger and his control over it had increased significantly.

In addition, I feel much more energetic and focused. My head feels itchy, which means my brain is starting to grow again.

However, what pleased Ye Xiu was that he gained two more active skills, which greatly improved his strength.

Even though he hasn't advanced yet, his current strength is enough to kill all four of the Mad Dragon Kings within 10 seconds.

Within 30 seconds, he turned Tiancan Dican into a pile of minced meat.

After learning the basics of the five energy level branches, one finally meets the prerequisite for learning advanced knowledge.

Ye Xiu didn't hesitate and searched for advanced knowledge on the host computer, which immediately brought up several options:

"Advanced Dance Techniques: Off-Body Waves!"

"Martial Arts Advancement: Flash Qi!"

"Advanced Mechanical Engineering: Advanced Material Synthesis!"

……

The superpower system in "Star Ocean" is divided into five types: Psychic, Mechanical, Magical, Telekinetic, and Martial Arts.

Each primary profession has a unique knowledge tree, making them highly distinctive.

The supernatural ability tree is called the Gene Tree, the mechanical ability tree is called the Mechanical Knowledge Tree, the magic ability tree is called the Magic Knowledge Tree, the telekinetic ability tree is called the Mental Cultivation Tree, and the martial arts ability tree is called the Qi Control Technique Tree.

Among them, the Martial Arts Department focuses on strength and combat, cultivating various advanced energy techniques. [Separate Body Wave] and [Flash Energy] are the core knowledge of the Martial Arts Department.

Learning these two core skills will greatly improve your personal strength and life security.

The core of the superpower system is one's own superpower. By continuously developing the superpower and strengthening the gene chain, the power, control, and endurance of the superpower can be improved, and new uses can be added.

For example, a superhuman who awakens the ability to control the water element can initially spray water that can barely wet a tissue and serve as a lubricant. However, later on, the water they spray can be enough to submerge a life-bearing planet and wipe out all life on it.

In addition, superpowers are also divided into potential levels, which are represented by EDCBA levels.

The higher the potential level of a superpower, the greater its growth potential and power.

For example, both are superpowers that control electricity, but those with low potential levels struggle to even light a cigarette, while those with high potential levels can transform into natural disasters and summon wind and rain in the later stages.

Ye Xiu took a deep breath, regained his composure, and focused his attention on the refreshed advanced knowledge of supernatural abilities.

"Advanced Psychic Ability: Second-Tier Gene Chain - Energy Level Enhancement"

"Advanced Psychic Ability: Second-Tier Gene Chain - Enhanced Control"

Although he possesses two advanced knowledge points, Ye Xiu currently only has mastered the five basic knowledge points of the [Energy Level] branch.

However, that's enough.

Once he learns the advanced knowledge, he can complete the advanced mission, after which he can leave Star Dragon at any time to prepare for the arrival of the players.

Ye Xiu clicked on "Energy Level Enhancement," and countless profound theories and diagrams of supernatural abilities appeared before his eyes.

Ordinary people with superpowers would not understand this knowledge at all; it would be like reading a book written in a foreign language.

Fortunately, Ye Xiu was no ordinary person; a panel notification appeared before his eyes:

[Detected advanced psychic ability: [Energy Level Enhancement], would you like to consume 2 potential points to learn it?]

Ye Xiu immediately muttered to himself, "Study!"

The next moment, a flood of knowledge about superpowers rushed into his mind. Ye Xiu felt an unbearable headache and couldn't help but close his eyes and grit his teeth to persevere.

[Learning in progress, please do not exit or stop... 1.9%... 13.14%... 52.1%... 69.9%...]

As time passed, the pain in his head finally subsided, and Ye Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

[Congratulations on successfully learning the advanced psychic ability [Energy Level Enhancement]! The advanced enhancement branch is now unlocked!]

[Level 20 advancement quest completed! The requirements for the 【Beginner in Psychic Abilities】job change have been met. Please choose one of the following three paths: Psychic Warrior, Psychic Spiritualist, or Psychic.]

There are three paths in the special ability system. Once you choose one, you cannot change it unless you abandon the account and start over.

Superhumans are somewhat similar to martial artists. Generally, those with superpowers that involve muscle enhancement or related abilities will choose this path, and then they will become muscular giants. They can learn various combat skills and become sworn brothers with dancers.

The fundamental core attributes will also transform from mystery into power.

A psychopath can be understood as someone who leans towards telekinesis and magic, and typically chooses this path if their superpowers are fire manipulation or soul attacks.

The base core attribute will also change from Mystic to Intelligence.

The last type of superhuman focuses on developing their own abilities; true power lies in having powerful abilities.

With Ye Xiu's special abilities, he naturally had no reason to hesitate.

[Job change successful! Congratulations on obtaining the new job [Psychic Apprentice Lv1], Strength +35, Power +1, Agility +1, Mysticism +3, 3 free attribute points, and 1 potential point.]

[You have completed your first Psychic-type advancement, and your Endurance bonus has been increased: 1 Endurance equals 15 Health Points, 1 Endurance equals 18 Stamina Points]

The next second, endless energy from the universe rushed into Ye Xiu's body, and was immediately absorbed by the mitochondria in his cells, releasing his power.

The newly released energy began to continuously strengthen the cells, causing them to undergo tremendous changes. The DNA blueprint also changed slightly, and the cells began to divide rapidly, splitting into two.

As time passed, Ye Xiu clearly felt as if his body was being reshaped. Every cell, every bone, and every muscle was full of power. If he had to sum it up in one word, it would be "awesome!"

This process all takes place within the body, so to Gu Hui, who was watching from the side, it looked as if Ye Xiu was gritting his teeth and studying with great difficulty.

"It will take this kid at least a year to learn advanced knowledge. During this time, I must extract a lot of key information from him." Gu Hui stroked his chin, thinking to himself, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Soon, the advanced level was finally completed.

A large amount of information on the panel scrolled and flowed before Ye Xiu's eyes.

The latest novel is first published here!

[Your strength attribute has changed, the current attribute is: supernatural energy]

You have acquired the skill: [Energy Refinement Method]

[You have acquired the skill - Intermediate Affinity]

Ye Xiu immediately felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, as if every cell in his body was sending him a feeling of pleasure.

"Finally, I've completed the advancement!" Ye Xiu's face lit up with joy. With a thought, he opened the panel:

--------

Ye Xiu scanned the panel and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

The first advancement is crucial, mainly because it grants attributes to Qi.

Ye Xiu gently rubbed his index finger and thumb together, and a wisp of pale white, crystal-clear air appeared out of thin air.

Special energy is one of the exclusive attributes of the special ability type. It can enhance the affinity between physical strength and special abilities, making the power of special abilities greater and more lasting.

There are many attributes of Qi, but more often they indicate how a profession uses Qi. For example, the Qi of the Mechanical profession is [Magnetic], and the Qi of the Psychic profession is the [Spirit] attribute.

After learning basic professional knowledge and completing advanced training, I have acquired many skills and expertise, which has greatly improved my overall capabilities.

But what satisfied Ye Xiu the most was the [Special Ability Synthesis] skill, which greatly helped his future development.

Ye Xiu's original plan was to focus on quality over quantity, meaning he would only replicate the rarer superpowers.

But now with the skill of [Superpower Synthesis], his ideas have changed dramatically.

Even if the superpower is ordinary, it will definitely undergo earth-shattering changes after countless synthesiss.

For example, superpowers like muscle enhancement, arm enhancement, and leg enhancement...

If these superpowers continue to be synthesized, they will surely be able to combine into an incredibly powerful superpower.

Ye Xiu seems to have already come up with a name for this superpower: "Body of the God of War".

In addition, if it is the superpower of water element control, superpower of fire element control, superpower of lightning control...

If these superpowers continue to be synthesized, wouldn't they eventually synthesize extremely dangerous superpowers similar to elemental control?

More importantly, he can raise the potential level of his superpower to S-rank.

Thinking about the reactions that would result from the synthesis of countless S-class superpowers, Ye Xiu was filled with excitement.

"Hoo!" Ye Xiu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart to avoid letting Gu Hui, who was not far away, notice anything unusual.

Just then, another notification appeared on the panel:

[Advanced level detected. Shall we remove the "Commoner" class?]

Commoner professions are those that most humanoid players automatically acquire, primarily to prevent players from having experience points but being unable to level up.

After the first advancement, players can choose to cancel as long as they haven't leveled up the [Commoner] class to the maximum level.

This profession was of no help to Ye Xiu, so he didn't hesitate at all, thinking to himself, "Cancel!"

The next second, the [Commoner] profession disappeared from the sub-profession section of the panel, leaving only the max-level [Agent].

The overall level is still 21.

Ye Xiu glanced at his experience points, thought for a moment, and then spent about 50000 experience points to upgrade the Seven Injury Fist to level 3.

In this way, he still has about 6 experience points left.

Ye Xiu plans to incorporate this experience into the [Qi Refinement Method] to enhance his Qi.

……

Time passed, and Gu Hui, seeing that the time was up, quickly reminded him, "That's enough, that's enough. Let's come again next time. Take our time, no rush!"

"Alright then." Ye Xiu sighed lightly, feigning disappointment, and left with Gu Hui. They returned to the director's office.

After Old Gao gave the order, Gu Hui did not leave Ye Xiu at the Thirteenth Bureau, but instead had Feng Jun escort the latter away.

Soon, Ye Xiu put on the black hood again, was led through winding corridors, and then took an elevator to leave the headquarters.

About two hours later, Ye Xiu vaguely felt the car stop, and then someone pushed him out of the car.

"Buzz~"

As soon as Ye Xiu got out of the car, Feng Jun and the others immediately drove away.

It was late at night, and the moonlight shone on the earth.

Ye Xiu took off his black hood and looked around, finding himself in front of Qianqian's mechanical repair shop.

"Finally back." Ye Xiu looked at the mechanical repair shop in front of him, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lü Qian looking worried.

Hearing footsteps, Lü Qian subconsciously turned her head to look. Upon seeing Ye Xiu, her face immediately lit up with joy, but the next second her expression darkened. She rushed over and roared, "Where have you been gallivanting these past few days? Your daughter has even come knocking on our door!"

"Daughter!?" Ye Xiu was stunned. I've never even held a girl's hand, so where would I get a daughter?

"You scumbag, you still won't admit it?" Lu Qian said with a disappointed look, then pointed into the yard.

Sure enough, a little girl was sitting obediently on a chair in the yard. She had big eyes and was very cute.

Ye Xiu turned his head and saw that it was the one he had rescued from the bread truck in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, he told Lü Qian about the little girl's background in detail.

After hearing Ye Xiu's words, Lü Qian couldn't help but curse out loud, "These human traffickers deserve to die! They shouldn't be spared even if they're shot a hundred times over."

At the same time, knowing that Ye Xiu was still an innocent and naive young man, Lü Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, she said with some pain in her heart, "I'll buy you a second-hand phone in a few days, otherwise I won't be able to contact you... I'll deduct the phone cost from your salary."

"No need, I have one." Ye Xiu took out his black phone from his pants and waved it in front of Lü Qian a few times.

"That's good." Lü Qian was delighted again, feeling as if she had saved several hundred yuan.

Just then, Old Man Lü walked over, glanced at Ye Xiu, and said with a disappointed look, "I thought you'd run away! How disappointing!"

"What are you saying? Qianqian Mechanical Repair Shop is my home, my brothers and sisters, my dearest friends and family. I, Ye Xiaoshuai, will never leave here," Ye Xiu said sincerely.

"Haha..." Lü Qian's face was full of smiles, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Heh." Old Lu sneered. At this moment, he noticed the phone in Ye Xiu's hand, paused slightly, then frowned and asked, "You've joined the Thirteenth Bureau?"

"There was no other way. They visited me three times, saying they would make me the bureau chief in two years. I reluctantly agreed because of their sincerity," Ye Xiu sighed.

"You've already joined the 13th Inning, so why aren't you leaving?"

"Hmph, Qianqian Mechanical Repair Shop is my home, Ye Xiaoshuai's home, mine..."

"Alright, alright, stop acting. If you really want to stay here, could it be...?"

At this point, Old Man Lü paused again, as if suddenly realizing something. He stared intently at Ye Xiu and slowly said, "Hey kid, you wouldn't happen to have taken a fancy to my granddaughter, would you?"

"Hmm~ Don't say anything yet, at least in terms of looks, you're miles ahead of that Han Xiao, so you're barely qualified."

"Old man Lu, you must have eaten too much food."

"Hmph!" Old Man Lu snorted, but his expression towards Ye Xiu changed from initial hostility and scrutiny to satisfaction and relief.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Before Ye Xiu could speak, he heard Lü Qian call out shyly.

Ye Xiu subconsciously turned his head to look and found that the latter was also staring at him, his eyes watery, as if they were about to drip water.

"I...I'm still young, I don't want to..."

"You bad guy!" Lü Qian covered her flushed face, turned around, and ran upstairs.

Old Man Lü chuckled and turned to leave.

"Oh dear, what's going on here!" Ye Xiu sighed softly, then knelt down beside the little girl and gently asked, "Little one, what brings you here?"

"I miss you, brother," the little girl replied crisply.

Very good, that's a very good reason, and Ye Xiaoshuai is very satisfied with it.

"What's your name?"

"Yao Yao!"

Are your parents still alive?

"They're gone. My grandparents are dead too."

"I see." Ye Xiu stroked his chin and then said, "How about you stay here from now on and let Sister Lü Qian take care of you?"

"Mmm, Sister Lü Qian is a good person. She even taught Yao Yao to sing nursery rhymes." Yao Yao said, and immediately started singing, "Little hands ready! In the little garden..."

"Haha!" Ye Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and got up to pat Yao Yao's little head.

"Come on, I'll take you to rest. Your brother Han Xiao won't be back for a while, so you can stay in his room from now on."

"Hmm, it seems that Brother Han Xiao is a good person too." Yao Yao nodded, then suddenly grabbed Ye Xiu's right hand tightly.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Ye Xiu asked, puzzled.

"No." Yao Yao shook her head, then said firmly, "Brother, Yao Yao will definitely become stronger to protect you!"

"Okay, Brother Ye Xiu is waiting for you." Ye Xiu nodded with a smile, and then couldn't help but pat Yao Yao's little head.

Seeing Ye Xiu nod in agreement, Yao Yao was overjoyed and shouted loudly, "Yao Yao will definitely protect you, brother!"

Ye Xiu smiled, and just as he was about to praise her, he suddenly noticed a glimmer of blue light in Yao Yao's eyes, and the surrounding air seemed to become a little more refreshing.

"An...superpower awakening?!" Ye Xiu was shocked.

Holy crap! Can you awaken superpowers just by shouting a few times?

However, Ye Xiu could also see that Yao Yao's superpower had not been fully awakened, and the awakening speed seemed to be very slow.

Ye Xiu secretly guessed that either Yao Yao's awakened superpower potential level was very high, or her body was too weak.

Of course, it's also possible that it's both.

"I'll have to leave here sooner or later, but with Old Man Lü here, I feel more at ease leaving Yao Yao here. She won't be kidnapped by anyone with ulterior motives." Ye Xiu's eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself, and then he relaxed a little.

"Let me take you to find Sister Lü Qian first."

……

Time passed quickly, and it was soon two in the morning.

Ye Xiu quietly got out of bed and went to the courtyard.

"Even a little girl like Yao Yao can awaken superpowers with just a shout. With my looks, I could probably awaken one or two, if not seven or eight, right?"

At this point, Ye Xiu's confidence soared. He touched his throat, closed his eyes, and shouted, "Heavens, grant me power!!!"

After waiting a few minutes and seeing no response, Ye Xiu spread his arms and roared again, "Heavens, grant me power!!!"

"Bang!"

Just then, a large basin of water was suddenly poured over Ye Xiu's head, making him shiver from the cold.

Hmm? Could it be that I've awakened another water-related superpower?

Ye Xiu's face lit up with joy, but when he opened his eyes, he was immediately startled.

Old Lu, with dark circles under his eyes, stared at him with an unfriendly expression, holding a foot bath basin in his hand.

"I say, Ye Xiu, I know you're excited because I agreed to let you be with my granddaughter, but does that mean you have to come out here yelling like a ghost in the middle of the night?" Old Man Lu said coldly.

"Hehe..." Ye Xiu chuckled awkwardly.

He finally realized how abstract his actions had been, and quickly ran back to his room to sleep.

Holy crap, it took me hours to write a control panel, and I still have to add my own settings when writing fanfiction.
