40: Upgrade superpowers, ultimate transformation superpowers

“He knew my identity, but he didn’t care at all. If I hadn’t forcibly stopped him, he wouldn’t even have revealed his name and address.”

As Lou Xiaoe spoke, her cheeks puffed out slightly, and her expression showed a mix of anger and frustration, as if she was still upset about Long Feiyang’s attitude at the time.

Lou Zhenhua and Tan Yali exchanged glances, their faces filled with surprise, unsure of how to speak for a moment.

They never expected that in this era, someone could be so indifferent when faced with their daughter's identity.

“How did you two meet?” Lou Zhenhua broke the silence first, asking.

His eyes were full of curiosity, wanting to understand the whole story.

“It all started with those Cuckoos today. I was outside, watching curiously like everyone else. I heard him tell his daughter that Large Cuckoo Birds would do cruel things to survive, which was different from what I knew before, so I went up to debate with him…”

Lou Xiaoe opened up, enthusiastically recounting the entire process of how she met Long Feiyang, her eyes sparkling with the light of memory, and her hands unconsciously gesturing, as if she wanted to vividly present the scene to her parents.

Tan Yali helplessly rubbed her forehead, sighing inwardly: This child has a good personality, but she’s too serious; I’m really afraid she’ll suffer because of it.

She looked at her daughter, her eyes full of worry.

Lou Zhenhua listened quietly, his brows gradually furrowing, his expression growing more solemn.

Hearing the latter part, he fell silent, thinking: My daughter asks too many questions. Anyone would be annoyed if a stranger pursued them with so many questions.

“Dad, Mom, he also invited me to his house for dinner at five this afternoon, saying he wanted me to meet his wife. But I have to promise his wife that I’m only looking for him to ask questions, with no other intentions. As long as his wife agrees, he’ll definitely answer if I have more questions for him in the future, and he even promised to give me a few books.”

Lou Xiaoe told her parents Long Feiyang's promises without reservation, her face beaming with anticipation, full of curiosity and longing for this meeting.

Upon hearing this, Lou Zhenhua's expression instantly turned serious, his brows furrowed into a ' river' shape.

How could he feel at ease letting his beloved daughter go to a stranger's house?

They had just met, and the other party was so enthusiastically inviting her to dinner, which was truly illogical.

Lou Zhenhua immediately became alert, pondering: This person is so eager to invite Xiao'e; he must have other motives, perhaps some ulterior purpose.

“Give me his information. I’ll find someone to investigate first.” Lou Zhenhua’s tone was firm and beyond doubt.

As a father, protecting his daughter’s safety was his primary responsibility, and on such matters, there was no room for carelessness.

“Dad, is this… necessary?”

Lou Xiaoe's eyes widened, looking at her father with a surprised expression, clearly taken aback and confused by his decision.

In her opinion, Long Feiyang was merely a knowledgeable person with a slight temper, and he posed no threat to her.

“Xiao'e, just tell us his information. Your dad is doing this for your own good. We don’t object to you making friends, but some people in this world appear kind but harbor ill intentions and are unpredictable. He just met you for the first time and is already so enthusiastically inviting you to his house; there must be something problematic, and we must be cautious.”

Tan Yali, seeing her daughter's confused look, quickly explained, her eyes full of concern and worry.

“Ulterior motives?” Lou Xiaoe tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of doubt.

She really couldn't understand what someone who knew her identity and was then forced by her to introduce himself could be plotting.

Her mind was simple, and she couldn't guess the reason behind it.

However, thinking that her parents were acting out of love and protection for her, after a moment of hesitation, she still told her father all of Long Feiyang's information.

--- At this moment, Long Feiyang’s emotional value had soared to 23.5 million, giving him an unprecedented sense of abundance.

Even after completing the construction of the underground tunnel, there would still be some emotional value left.

Thus, Long Feiyang decisively decided to upgrade his Superpower.

Previously, due to insufficient emotional value, and with no immediate plans to return to the Original World for revenge, whether or not to upgrade his Superpower was irrelevant to him.

But now the situation was different; with ample emotional value, upgrading his Superpower would not affect his plans.

To ensure safety, Long Feiyang took Yaoyao home. After entering the basement, he unhesitatingly consumed emotional value to upgrade his Transformation Ability. Instantly, his attribute panel changed:

Talent: Low-level Transformation (9/1000)

Changed to

Talent: Mid-level Transformation (0/10000)

Energy: (1000/1000)

Seeing the “Energy” column, Long Feiyang was a bit confused.

After all, this item wasn't present in the low-level Transformation stage.

Before he could figure it out, a strong sensation of itching and numbness surged from within his body, rapidly spreading throughout.

The itching was unbearable; he instantly lost his balance, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

After a long while, “Hoo… hoo…” Long Feiyang gasped for air. Only when the itching subsided did he struggle to stand up.

At this moment, he felt completely refreshed, as if every pore was breathing freely.

The Mid-level Superpower brought him new feedback.

Now his Transformation Ability was no longer limited to the simple form of merely changing appearance in the initial stage, but had achieved a comprehensive transformation from the inside out, even allowing his clothes to change along with him.

This way, he wouldn't have to frequently change clothes in the future.

Not only that, the previously recorded template characters also automatically put on the clothes they originally wore.

Moreover, the Mid-level Transformation Ability removed the previous restriction; now he no longer needed to kill living beings to obtain templates.

As long as a living being was within ten meters of him, once his gaze locked onto it, he could record it into a template.

Furthermore, the closer the locking distance and the more detailed the observation, the faster the template would be recorded.

Of course, recording templates by killing the target was still the fastest method.

In addition, after his transformation, his voice could also be synchronized, making it indistinguishable from the transformed object.

Long Feiyang also discovered that activating the Mid-level Transformation Ability required energy, and transforming for one minute would consume one point of energy.

After a careful check, he learned that this energy could be replenished by eating or absorbing crystal cores.

“Crystal cores? What are these things? Are they the crystal cores mentioned in zombie novels, found in the brains of zombies? But before I transmigrated, the zombies I killed had nothing in their heads!”

Long Feiyang couldn't help but recall the scene of smashing open zombie heads and finding nothing.

“Could it be that only mutated zombies have crystal cores in their heads?” Long Feiyang secretly guessed.

After all, if humans could mutate and gain Superpowers, zombies naturally could also mutate.

It was just that he had never encountered mutated zombies before he transmigrated.

However, Long Feiyang was secretly relieved to discover that emotional value could also be used to replenish energy.

In his opinion, emotional value was simply omnipotent.

“If I had known that Mid-level Transformation had such powerful functions, I would have upgraded it earlier.” Long Feiyang was both excited and a little annoyed.

He thought that if he had upgraded earlier, he wouldn't have had to worry about being tracked or monitored before.

“If the Mid-level Transformation Ability is already so formidable, how powerful would the High-level Superpower be?”

Long Feiyang couldn't help but tremble at the thought of the uncomfortable itching sensation he experienced when upgrading to Mid-level Superpower.

But to enhance his own strength, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Subsequently, he took out the mattress, lay on it, and consumed ten thousand emotional value to begin upgrading his Superpower.

Soon, the attribute panel changed again:

Talent: High-level Transformation (0/100000)

Energy: (10000/10000)

Immediately after, an even more intense itching sensation instantly swept through Long Feiyang's entire body. He writhed and struggled on the mattress in discomfort.

After a long while, Long Feiyang, having completed his evolution, slowly stood up.

The nightmarish discomfort he had just experienced was now gone without a trace, as if it had never happened.

He only felt an unprecedented sense of comfort throughout his body, as if every cell was filled with power.

Through the feedback of the High-level Superpower, Long Feiyang learned that he could now not only record templates of non-living things but also templates of Superpower users.

This meant that he could not only transform into non-living things but also possess the characteristics of these non-living things, such as hardness, softness, and heat.

What surprised him even more was that when he transformed into other Superpower users, he could also possess all of that Superpower user’s attack methods.

“Hahaha, I finally have offensive capabilities!” Long Feiyang laughed excitedly.

The High-level Transformation skill at this moment was the powerful ability he had always dreamed of.

He even felt a little unable to suppress his inner excitement, wanting to return to the Original World immediately.

Because as long as he could record the templates of other Superpower users, he would have an extra layer of security in the Original World.

“The High-level Transformation Ability is already so powerful, so what about even higher-level Superpowers?”

Long Feiyang's gaze fell on the remaining emotional value, finding that there were still 23.49 million left.

At this moment, a strong greed surged within him, just like the idiom of the snake trying to swallow an elephant, being insatiably greedy.

Finally, Long Feiyang gritted his teeth, and even though he knew the upgrade process would be extremely uncomfortable, he decided to upgrade again.

Thus, Long Feiyang consumed one hundred thousand emotional value to further upgrade his innate Superpower.

The talent column on the attribute panel instantly changed to:

Talent: Ultimate Transformation

Energy: (100000/100000)

In an instant, Long Feiyang felt a tingling, itchy sensation surge through his entire body, from the inside out, and this time it lasted even longer.

He was tormented by this uncomfortable feeling, constantly rolling on the mattress, cold sweat pouring down like rain.

By the time he finally recovered, a full half hour had passed.

At this moment, Long Feiyang felt as if his body had undergone a complete metamorphosis.

He stood up, quietly standing on the ground, able to clearly perceive everything within a ten-meter radius around him, as if it were all under his control.

This feeling was very strange, difficult to describe in words.

According to the feedback from the Ultimate Ability, Long Feiyang learned that he could now truly evolve everything within a ten-meter radius around him, and also mimic objects.

Furthermore, he could attach the characteristics of non-living objects within this truly evolved range.

For example, as long as he possessed the template of a C140 concrete object, then after he performed a true evolution, all objects within a ten-meter radius would possess the same hardness as C140 concrete.

Moreover, he himself did not need to transform to become incredibly hard within the evolved range.

However, this ability also had a drawback, which was that as the range of true evolution expanded, the consumption of energy would also increase accordingly.

Of course, once he revoked the transformation, everything that had been changed would revert to its original state.
