Chapter 53: Merge Psychic Powers

Everyone sat down.

Xiao Feng personally went to the kitchen and cooked a table full of dishes.

The four security guards, upon seeing this, had their eyes widen.

This was absolutely the best meal they had since the apocalypse, maybe even during peacetime.

Xiao Feng brought out his own fine wine, named it "Wind-Intoxication," as it would get even the wind drunk.

He slowly raised his wine glass and looked at everyone.

"Today, you all saw what happened. People from the Shelter No. 1 tried to attack me, but Brother Wang Qiang risked offending them to come to my aid."

"Now, we are completely at odds with the First Shelter."

"Our friendship was forged in the heat of battle."

"Furthermore, there are these four brothers."

Xiao Feng looked at the four individuals.

"I established a connection with these four brothers, and it’s been a bit of a journey. They decided to stay and help me, a testament to their character."

"Their abilities might be a bit peculiar, but that doesn’t diminish their strength."

"You all saw today that these four men killed at least tens of thousands of zombies in the streets and even a Fourth-Order bio-soldier released by the Shelter No. 1!"

"Fourth-Order!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang’s eyes widened.

"They killed a Fourth-Order soldier?"

Wang Qiang looked at them with disbelief.

Wang Qiang couldn’t imagine what would have happened to them if they had gotten into a fight earlier.

Hearing Xiao Feng’s praise and seeing the shocked expressions of Wang Qiang and others, they felt proud for the first time.

This feeling of being admired was incredibly satisfying.

"Furthermore, these four brothers have a grudge against the bird people, but it wasn’t Wang Qiang and his team who did it. So, we need to hold the right people responsible. Can we agree on that?"

"By drinking this toast, we are now all brothers!"

Xiao Feng raised his wine glass, and everyone followed suit.

They all drank, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Now, let me introduce Brother Wang Qiang.

"This gentleman here, the leader of the Broken Arm Mountain Angel Clan, you four may not know this, but within the Yu Lin City’s area, there are three bird people factions: Wang Qiang’s Broken Arm Mountain, the Thunder Mountain that attacked your shelter, and the Crane Mountain, which is 100 kilometers away from us."

"The advantage of bird people is their ability to fly, so to avoid being attacked, they all live on steep, remote mountains. These three mountains are known for their danger within our Yu Lin City’s area. Only evolved individuals who can fly can reach their summits."

"Furthermore, let me introduce these four brothers..."

He pointed to the tattooed leader of the four people.

"This gentleman is Wang Xiao, nicknamed Poisonous Stool King, a Third-Order evolved individual."

"This one is Ma Feng, known as the Fart King, a Third-Order evolved individual."

"This is Zhang Qiang, the Bullet King, a Third-Order evolved individual."

"This is Zhao Ye, the Dark King, a Third-Order evolved individual."

Xiaofeng introduced the three to Wang Qiang.

"The nicknames of these four brothers are quite imposing!"

Wang Qiang sighed.

...

After a drinking session, everyone was pretty intoxicated.

Looking at Wang Qiang and the four brothers addressing each other as brothers, Xiao Feng smiled and walked into the kitchen.

Today was an exception, so he decided to let them stay overnight.

In the kitchen, Xiao Feng brought out the prepared pig’s blood.

In reality, the hot pot was usually made with duck blood. But perhaps due to the scarcity of mutated ducks, they had opted for pig’s blood instead.

Using pig’s blood in place of duck blood resulted in a similar dish, but the texture wasn’t as smooth as duck blood.

He prepared beef tripe, cow stomach, and beef tendons, among other ingredients.

Xiao Feng heated the wok and poured in oil, sautéing scallions and then adding bean sprouts, transferring them to the bottom of the pot.

He then reheated the wok, added the base sauce, and after sautéing, poured in yellow wine chicken broth. When it came to a boil, he added the other supplementary ingredients.

He heated the wok again, added chili and Sichuan peppercorns, pouring them over the hot pot.

Sizzle!

The hot oil bubbled, releasing a delightful aroma.

Garnishing it with cilantro, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but lick his lips. He hadn’t eaten much during the meal earlier.

The huge spread of food on the table seemed to have vanished as if someone who hadn’t eaten for a month had devoured it all in a whirlwind.

Sitting down, Xiao Feng served himself a bowl of rice and began to savor it.

With the first bite, the numbing spiciness and freshness stimulated every one of Xiao Feng’s taste buds.

Ahh!

Xiao Feng exhaled deeply as if he were a burning flame.

"Delicious!"

He couldn’t help but exclaim.

In no time, the large pot of hot pot was completely devoured by Xiao Feng.

"Hiss... Why do I not feel anything?"

Wiping his mouth, Xiao Feng contemplated his physical condition.

Why didn’t he feel anything after consuming the hot pot infused with the Third-Order psychic crystal?

"Could it be that it takes some time for the effects to kick in?"

Xiao Feng raised a faint hope.

Exiting the kitchen, Xiao Feng saw Wang Qiang and the others all lying on the table.

Ignoring them, Xiao Feng went upstairs to rest.

...

...

Early the next morning, Xiao Feng was up and about.

As soon as Xiao Feng opened his eyes, he checked his own body. However, what he saw made him rejoice. Glancing at his attribute panel, he noticed that there was an additional skill: Psychic Power.

"Success!" Xiao Feng leaped out of bed.

[Psychic Power: Capable of controlling objects of various weights with increasing proficiency. Current level: Level 1]

Since this was a recent power awakening for Xiao Feng, its level was temporarily set at level 1. Typically, Evolvers awaken their psychic powers at a level that corresponds to their own.

Xiao Feng was currently a Third-Order Evolver, so his psychic power level should also be at the Third Order.

"I wonder if I can use energy to upgrade my psychic power level?" Xiao Feng thought of a way.

The next moment, he heard a prompt in his mind.

[Prompt: Would you like to consume 1,000 energy to upgrade the Psychic Power skill level?]

"Upgrade!" Indeed, it worked.

Xiao Feng became excited.

[Prompt: Would you like to consume 10,000 energy to upgrade the Psychic Power skill level?]

"Upgrade!"

[Prompt: Would you like to consume 50,000 energy to upgrade the Psychic Power skill level?]

"Upgrade!"

Xiao Feng quickly raised his psychic power level to the Third Order.

However, when he attempted to continue upgrading, he received another prompt.

[Prompt: Psychic Power level cannot exceed the host’s current level]

Realizing this, Xiao Feng understood.

Now that he had a Third-Order psychic power level, he wondered about the potential it held. Thinking about it, Xiao Feng hurriedly put on his clothes to go outside and try it.

When Xiao Feng arrived on the ground floor, he noticed that Wang Qiang and the others had already left. The four subordinates were leisurely sunbathing at the entrance.

Upon seeing Xiao Feng, they immediately stood up.

"I’m telling you, without my permission, you must not leave this door, do you understand?" Xiao Feng warned them.

"Inside the restaurant, I can guarantee your safety, but once you step outside, I can’t guarantee it anymore!"

The four men nodded repeatedly.

Then, Xiao Feng went out the door. However, at the very moment he stepped out, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew directly toward him.
