Chapter 110: Reward Settlement
For Hope City, the past twenty-four hours felt like an eternity.
It was now midnight.
From the previous midnight, when Fulan began delivering the nutritional paste infused with mycelium to Ji Yongxing’s dormitory, through the day’s all-encompassing beast tide and internal conflicts, to the current calm, only twenty-four hours had passed.
Even now, some Infected in the outer city were still evading capture.
During the ten minutes of blood rain, they had either found shelter under cover or were wearing raincoats and other protective gear.
But once the supreme will of the mycelium declared the failure of this invasion, they were abandoned like cannon fodder, left to barely survive in the sewers and alleys of the outer city.
The increasing number of humans around them, along with the ever-growing hostile biological field, made it difficult for them to hear the commands from the supreme will in their minds.
Of course, the other side had long since stopped issuing orders to these discarded pawns.
Most of the uninfected people were isolated in their homes and the open spaces of the inner city, while Team One soldiers patrolled the city. Hope City had entered a state of martial law with no clear end in sight.
Meanwhile, as El and Zhuang Mian lay unconscious due to unexplained high fevers, Ji Yongxing was doing everything he could to comprehend the vast knowledge contained within the blood rain.
Strangely enough, the blood rain that had fallen from the sky lost its color ten minutes after the weather cleared, becoming indistinguishable from normal water.
The portion Ji Yongxing collected seemed to be fixed in a certain state, awaiting his observation and analysis.
In the outer city, amidst this chilling atmosphere, Lin Qingliu had long since returned to his little nest with the wind, as if nothing had ever happened.
As night deepened, just when he planned to wash up and sleep, a different sensation suddenly arose, and at the same time, a familiar translucent panel unfolded before his eyes.
This sensation continued, and the panel in front of him began to scroll downward like the ending credits of a movie.

Lin Qingliu, like in his past life when he read novels at lightning speed, scrolled up and down the panel in front of him.
After confirming multiple times that his three followers had almost advanced at the same time, he sat on the bed in a daze:
"Did you three go team-building without me?"
Although he said that, Lin Qingliu roughly understood the reason behind it.
For superpowered individuals, there is indeed a characteristic that the use of abilities can lead to either growth or decline.
During their adventures in the inner city, Lin Qingliu kept an eye on his followers.
So far, he was not worried at all about Wang Xiao’s advancement, as it was clear that that guy needed to dance on the edge of life and death to grow stronger.
As for Zhuang Mian and El, today’s riot provided both of them with a great opportunity to hone their abilities.
Now it seemed that they certainly did not waste that good chance.
Regarding Ji Yongxing, he had already been given blood that wouldn’t naturally decompose.
That stuff not only had a lot in it, but it was also powerful; even if he couldn’t advance, it taught him that not everything is something you can just take a glance at.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingliu suddenly lost his desire to sleep.
With new abilities, he planned to experiment a bit.
As his paths increased and his abilities strengthened, Lin Qingliu’s power could no longer be measured by levels.
The combination of the three abilities was enough to leave a highly ranked superhero team at their wits’ end; and having received a great gift from Lucas, Lin Qingliu was gradually becoming invincible.
Although there was a huge gap compared to traditional gods, dealing with ordinary humans was already more than sufficient.
As his abilities strengthened, his perspective inevitably began to rise.
When the blood rain fell during the day, Lin Qingliu found himself feeling a detachment as if he were “God,” looking down at all the humans below like they were mere ants.
He didn’t know how to describe that feeling, but from the steps he had taken as a human, he didn’t want to become a cold, rational machine too soon.
Yet now, his interest in new abilities made Lin Qingliu realize that he still maintained abundant humanity.
“So, which one should I try first?”
Lin Qingliu scanned his abilities, laid out before him like a menu, and focused on the new ability given to him by El:
【Leap】
"I get it, this is called teleportation."
Lin Qingliu felt his surroundings carefully and discovered that space was not locked but rather like a sticky substance.
Spaces compressed and folded into one another, with different locations briefly overlapping in a higher dimension.
Now, he could somewhat perceive all this and seize the opportunity he desired by completing his transport through the intersection of several space nodes.
After closing the bedroom curtains, Lin Qingliu’s body began to continuously teleport within the room.
The cooldown for the skill was about one second; if he didn’t want to wait, he could consume more mental strength to forcibly trigger the next transport.
Once he was familiar with this new ability, Lin Qingliu started trying to teleport outside the door or to the other side of the wall.
The ability description stated that he could only teleport to locations within his line of sight, but that description still felt somewhat vague.
