58: Chapter 58: Gained a second superpower! Shadow Copy!

"Sister! Brother Lin Yuan! You're back!"

Ye Qingyue was the first to rush out of the villa's main gate, joyfully throwing herself at Lin Yuan.

Compared to her sister, she wanted to hug Lin Yuan more...

But when she saw Lin Ruoxue behind Lin Wanrou, her small face sank slightly.

Another... another one has come...

Ye Qingyue's eyes dimmed a bit.

Brother Lin Yuan's women are becoming more and more numerous.

Su Yuyan stood in the living room, coldly sweeping a glance over Lin Ruoxue.

A flash of disdain crossed her eyes.

With a cold face, she turned and returned to her room.

Bai Xingli, on the other hand, observed Lin Ruoxue carefully, pushing up her glasses.

Isn't Lin Ruoxue Lin Wanrou's daughter?

And now, as long as it was a woman in this villa, not a single one hadn't interacted with the male lead.

Bai Xingli couldn't help but be shocked.

Even though only half a month had passed since the Apocalypse began, Lin Yuan's direct and taboo operations were truly eye-opening for her.

She could only say that city people really knew how to play...

The two sisters returned to Ye Qingxue's room.

Ye Qingxue said gently to her younger sister:

"Qingyue, this is Lin Wanrou's daughter, Lin Ruoxue. She'll be one of us from now on."

Ye Qingyue pouted, her heart feeling sour.

Brother Lin Yuan's women are getting more and more numerous...

I... I'm just one of them...

She remembered those few days at the start of the Apocalypse when only she and her sister accompanied Brother Lin Yuan.

How good those times were...

But now...

Bai Xingli, Su Yuyan, Lin Wanrou, and now Lin Ruoxue has arrived...

Ye Qingyue bit her lip, her eyes turning slightly red.

Am I... still the most important person to Brother Lin Yuan?

...

Lin Yuan led Lin Wanrou and Lin Ruoxue to their room.

It was a guest room on the second floor of the villa.

Though not large, it was cozily arranged.

"Wait here."

Lin Yuan said calmly.

In the next second, with a thought.

He took out bottle after bottle of d-grade mineral water from the system space, stacking them neatly in the corner of the room.

1 bottle, 10 bottles, 50 bottles, 100 bottles...

The water bottles, emitting a faint blue glow, piled up like a small mountain.

In the end, all 500 bottles of d-grade mineral water appeared!

Lin Ruoxue and Lin Wanrou watched this scene in shock, completely stunned!

"How... how is this possible?!"

Lin Ruoxue covered her mouth, unable to believe it.

This ability to appear out of thin air still deeply shocked the mother and daughter!

500 bottles of water, just like that... appeared out of thin air?!

This man...

Just how was his ability achieved?!

With such methods, they didn't know it was Lin Yuan's Space Ability; instead, they thought it was more like creating something from nothing...

Seeing this, Lin Yuan said calmly: "This is my ability. Now, try the effects of this water."

His voice was very flat, as if he had done something insignificant.

Lin Ruoxue picked up a bottle in confusion.

She looked at her mother, her eyes full of inquiry.

Lin Wanrou nodded encouragingly: "Drink it, Ruoxue. You will understand."

Lin Ruoxue took a deep breath, twisted off the cap, tilted her head back, and drank it down.

The cool liquid flowed down her throat.

The next second.

"Boom!"

Terrifying energy exploded within her body!

Lin Ruoxue's eyes widened, feeling the changes in her body with disbelief.

Power!

Speed!

Endurance!

A slight all-around improvement!

She could clearly feel her muscles strengthening, her bones becoming tougher, and her blood flowing faster!

This feeling...

It was simply incredible!

Lin Ruoxue looked at the empty bottle in her hand in shock: "Is... is this really just water?!"

She had never experienced such a magical sensation.

Just one bottle of water had caused a qualitative change in her body!

Lin Wanrou said gently: "Ruoxue, do you understand now why Mama made you make the exchange? 500 bottles of this water are enough to turn you into a powerhouse in the Apocalypse."

Lin Ruoxue nodded blankly.

Then she looked at Lin Yuan; the fear in her eyes had lessened by a fraction, replaced by a bit more awe and gratitude.

This man...

Is truly... too powerful...

Lin Yuan looked at her reaction, feeling satisfied in his heart.

As for giving Lin Ruoxue so much D-grade water, what if it backfired?

He could only say that would be thinking too small.

Lin Yuan drank it every day, and a hundred bottles a day at that.

The speed at which his constitution increased was like a rocket.

Even if Lin Ruoxue became strong, in Lin Yuan's eyes, she would still be an ant he could suppress at will.

"Rest well."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left.

He had more important things to do.

Awakening his second Superpower!

...

Lin Yuan returned to his room and locked the door.

He took a deep breath and took out the seven-colored snowflake and the D-grade demon core from the system space.

The seven-colored snowflake emitted a dreamlike glow, beautiful and mysterious.

The D-grade demon core glowed with a dark purple light, containing dense dark-attribute energy.

Lin Yuan placed the two together.

Instantly!

The seven-colored snowflake began to melt rapidly, turning into seven-colored streams of energy.

The demon core emitted an eerie dark purple light, and the spiderweb patterns on its surface writhed frantically.

The two energies intertwined and merged in the air, slowly condensing.

After a dozen seconds, an energy orb the size of a fist appeared!

The orb emitted a dark purple light, interspersed with seven-colored flows, eerie and beautiful.

Lin Yuan could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained within the orb.

He reached out and touched the orb.

In an instant—

"BOOM—!!!"

Terrifying energy surged into his body!

"Ugh!"

Lin Yuan let out a muffled groan, cold sweat pouring down his forehead!

Intense pain!

Pain like he had never experienced before!

It was as if countless steel needles were simultaneously piercing into every single one of his cells!

His blood was boiling, his bones were restructuring, and his muscles were tearing and then healing!

But this time Lin Yuan had experience and gritted his teeth to endure.

His terrifying constitution gave him endurance far beyond that of an ordinary person.

He gripped the edge of the bed tightly, the solid wood bedboard deforming under his grasp.

One minute.

Three minutes.

Five minutes.

After ten minutes.

The intense pain finally began to subside.

Lin Yuan felt an eerie dark purple energy flowing within his body.

That was... the Power of Shadow.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host for awakening the D-grade Superpower, Shadow Copy!]

[Superpower Description: Allows the shadow to devour fresh corpses (dead for no more than 1 hour) and copy them into Shadow Puppets. Puppets possess 50% of the deceased's combat power while alive, are unconscious, and completely obey orders. Can maintain up to 3 puppets simultaneously. Can copy humans or demon beasts.]

[Host's constitution has increased to 480!]

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a flash of excitement and shock appearing in them.

A D-grade Superpower!

And it was a strategic type Superpower!

This meant...

He could build his own undead army!

Under normal circumstances for other Ability Users, they simply cannot increase their Superpower level.

So this D-grade Superpower would be a bit useless for them.

But for Lin Yuan, it was simply invincible!

Because he had a cheat!

The Superpower Proficiency Booster could allow a Superpower to automatically and permanently level up!

Lin Yuan immediately tried to use the Superpower.

With a thought.

The shadow beneath his feet suddenly began to writhe!

"Crack, crack, crack—"

The shadow twisted like a living thing, slowly opening a "large mouth"!

That mouth was pitch black, as if leading to an abyss.

But because there was no corpse, it could only snap at the air.

Lin Yuan's heart felt hot with anticipation.

He had to find suitable "materials" as soon as possible to test this Superpower!

He withdrew the Superpower and fell into thought.

Now that he had a D-grade Superpower, which one should he choose for the Superpower Proficiency Booster?

E-grade Wood Element Ability (Life Control): High practicality, top-tier survival ability, but relatively weak attack power.

D-grade Shadow Copy: Extremely high strategic value, can build a puppet army, and it's higher level, meaning more room for growth.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and finally made a decision.

Select D-grade Shadow Copy!

The reason was simple.

Higher level, and its strategic value was irreplaceable.

As the Superpower improved, he could copy more and stronger puppets.

Combined with the Infinite Supplies System, he could build a true Apocalypse army!

"System, use the Superpower Proficiency Booster and lock onto D-grade Shadow Copy."

Lin Yuan issued the command in his mind.

[Ding! Superpower Proficiency Booster has been locked: D-grade Shadow Copy!]

[Permanent automatic improvement has begun!]

[Current improvement speed: Minute increase per second (Based on Goddess Su Yuyan's Lev.1 Affinity)]

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with excitement.

With this Superpower, every strong enemy he encountered in the future could become his combat power!

Growing stronger through every battle!

This was the mark of a true King of the Apocalypse!

...

Late at night.

Lin Yuan was in the study, thinking about how to use his Superpower.

He already had a preliminary plan in his mind.

First, he needed to find suitable "materials".

Evolved Beasts possessed constitutions that absolutely far surpassed humans.

Therefore, Evolved Beasts were the best choice!

Just then.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

A soft knocking sound interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Lin Yuan looked up: "Come in."

The door was pushed open.

Su Yuyan pushed the door and entered.

She was wearing a simple bathrobe, which still couldn't hide her perfect body curves.

Her perfect proportions were faintly visible under the outline of the bathrobe.

Her expression was calm, but a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Su Yuyan got straight to the point: "Lin Yuan, I want to ask... how can I get more d-grade mineral water?"

She paused and added: "I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, looking at her with a playful gaze.

"You've already given it."

Lin Yuan said indifferently.

Su Yuyan bit her lip: "I know... but I want more water, I want to become stronger."

Her gaze was firm.

In the Apocalypse, only the strong can survive.

She needed that water.

Lin Yuan gave a faint smile: "It seems you are quite greedy."

Su Yuyan's face turned slightly red, but she still remained calm:

"In the Apocalypse, only the strong can survive. I need that water."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "It's not impossible."

A look of joy flashed in Su Yuyan's eyes: "What do you want?"

A hint of a smile curled at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth: "I think you... want to taste water of another flavor."

His voice was calm, but it carried a certain implication.

Su Yuyan froze for a moment, looking at him in confusion:

"Water of another flavor? What do you mean?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer; he just stood up and sat down in the chair in the study.

He slowly spread his legs, leaned back against the chair, and looked at Su Yuyan with a meaningful gaze.

In that instant, Su Yuyan's pretty face turned scarlet!

She finally understood Lin Yuan's meaning!

This man... actually...

Su Yuyan bit her lip, her heart struggling frantically.

Humiliation!

As the president of the Xingyao Group and a queen of the business world, when had she ever suffered such humiliation!

But...

Logic told her that this was the chance to obtain d-grade mineral water!

50 bottles!

Enough to increase her constitution by a large margin!

Su Yuyan took a deep breath, her eyes regaining their calm.

To become stronger...

What was a little humiliation compared to that?

She stepped forward in her high heels, slowly walking toward Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan watched her approach, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepening.
