Chapter 110: Let Dad Fight With You

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Let Dad Fight With You

Inner City, operating room.

After sitting for half the night and seeing no signs of her daughter waking, Mrs. Ji’s hair had turned much grayer with worry.

At this moment, Ji Wanwan’s consciousness was clear, but her eyelids were heavy and her body seemed to be out of control, not allowing her to make decisions.

Hearing her mother’s sighs and sobs, Ji Wanwan’s heart ached terribly.

[System? Can you hear me talking?] She tried calling the System with her consciousness.

Fortunately, the System could respond; [I’m here, Host. What do you need me to do?]

Ji Wanwan thought for a moment: [What’s the current state of my body functions?]

The System checked: [The Host currently has 75% spiritual power, 55% physical strength.]

The data wasn’t too bad, which made Ji Wanwan somewhat puzzled: [Then why can’t I wake up?]

System: [Because during the day, the energy in the Host’s body went out of control, causing the Host’s body and consciousness to separate. But don’t worry, the Host’s consciousness is clear now, and it won’t take long for the consciousness to return to the body.]

Reassured by these words, Ji Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief: [Okay, open my data panel.]

System: [Alright, Host.]

As the System finished speaking, a detailed data panel appeared before Ji Wanwan’s eyes.

[Body Functions:]

[Physical Strength: 485 Endurance: 55]

[Strength: 85 Agility: 285]

[Spirit: 445 Charm: 60]

[Awakened Abilities:]

[Space Manipulation: Level 6, can manipulate space within 600 meters, current Experience Points 5315/12000]

[Equivalence Healing: Level 6, consumes 60% equivalent materials to heal others, current Experience Points 5225/12000]

[Infinite Duplication: Level 5, duplicates another’s superpower and obtains a 50-second usage right, duplication conditions: touch the other party and maintain contact for at least 3 seconds, can duplicate up to 5 kinds of superpowers at a time, superpower storage time 15 hours, superpower trigger interval time 15 hours, current Experience Points 277/5000]

[Additional Skills:]

[Level 1 Healing Holy Body: The recovery speed of wounds is increased by 10% compared to an average person]

[Level 1 Mechanical Master: Able to self-taught simple mechanical principles]

[Level 3 Ice Skin Snow Flesh: The body’s impurity level is reduced by 30% compared to an average person]

[Level 3 Culinary Master: Able to self-taught the cooking of exquisite cuisine]

[Store Points: 5585]

After checking the data panel, Ji Wanwan murmured: [Infinite Duplication leveled up?]

System; [Yes, Host. During the battle in the daytime, the Host gained 752 Experience Points, so Infinite Duplication has been upgraded to Level 5, and Agility has also increased by 100 points.]

Ji Wanwan thought briefly; [System, can you check if there are any cryo-pods in the marketplace?]

The System quickly filtered through the marketplace and displayed the data of the three available cryo-pods in front of Ji Wanwan.

The most expensive and also the best one cost 5000 points, and Ji Wanwan didn’t even blink before buying it.

Points can be earned again, materials can be absorbed again, but there is only one Qi Hao!

Thinking of Xia Li’s amputated arm, Ji Wanwan had the System look for prosthetic limbs for her. Good prosthetics were also expensive, but Ji Wanwan already ran out of points and would have to find another way later.

Seeing that the cryo-pod had entered the System Space, Ji Wanwan’s heart finally settled: [System, how long has Hu Die been in the system?]

System: [17 hours.]

Soon it will be over a day, and the System had mentioned that the longer a living person stayed in space, the more dangerous it was; she needed to wake up as soon as possible and let Hu Die out.

Ji Wanwan: [Is there any way to wake me up quickly?]

The System fell silent for a moment, "The Host might try upgrading the Healing Holy Body. The faster your body recovers, the faster you may wake up."

Ji Wanwan fell silent as well.

So this is basically a gamble, huh?

But there really was no other choice at the moment, "How do I upgrade?"

System: "Upgrade with points, upgrading from level 1 to level 2 requires 500 points."

Ji Wanwan: "...Fantastic!"

The System, feeling a bit guilty, didn’t make a sound.

Sighing, Ji Wanwan resignedly spoke, "Go ahead with the upgrade, what else can I do?"

The System upgraded promptly, "Alright, Host!"

After the upgrade was complete, Ji Wanwan was left with only 85 points. From now on, she’d have to think twice before buying bubble tea whenever she wanted.

However, the effect of the upgrade was significant, and it wasn’t long before Ji Wanwan woke up.

Seeing her mom crying next to her with red eyes, Ji Wanwan’s nose tingled as well.

No matter when, her parents were always her strongest support!

Father Ji, who was sitting outside the operating room, heard the noise and rushed in. His haggard face and deep-set eyes made Ji Wanwan’s heart ache.

Looking at his daughter’s red-rimmed eyes, Father Ji spoke with a weight as if he had made a significant decision, "Wanwan, let your dad join you on the front lines..."

Before he could finish, Ji Wanwan immediately interrupted without a thought, "No! Dad, that could be lethal! I can’t watch you risk your life!"

Mr. Ji was relentless, "Aren’t you also taking risks?"

Ji Wanwan felt a lump in her throat and was momentarily unable to counter her father’s words.

Father Ji looked at her lovingly, but the determination in his eyes made it impossible for Ji Wanwan to ignore, "Wanwan, your dad is a father. Where in the world is there a father who hides behind his children, watching them risk their lives while he reaps the benefits?"

A father’s love is like a mountain; he might not say it, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love.

Ji Wanwan knew, but she couldn’t allow her powerless old father to face death, which would be no different from gouging out her own heart.

It seemed that Father Ji saw through her thoughts. He extended his hand, and a faint green glow emerged from his palm, "Wanwan, dad can protect himself. Let me go into battle with you."

Seeing the faint glow of Wood Element Energy, Ji Wanwan went from initial shock to overwhelming joy, "Dad, you also awakened a superpower?! When did this happen?!"

The pride on Mr. Ji’s face as he saw his daughter’s happy expression made him laugh, "I awoke it a long time ago, back before the base was even a base. You and Xingxing were able to take care of yourselves on ordinary days, so I never made it known. Last night, seeing the mess you two were in, I thought, it’s time for me to make a move."

Mrs. Ji couldn’t help but scold with a laugh, "You sure kept your skills hidden!"

Ji Wanwan, so moved she was about to cry, exclaimed, "Skills! Skills! Dad has always been the most capable one in our family!"

The sudden good news washed away much of the sorrow of the daytime.

Once she calmed down, Ji Wanwan approached her father, "Dad, let’s shake hands so I can sense your energy."

The moment they clasped hands, the System’s voice appeared, "Detecting Level 9 Wood Element Superpower, does the Host wish to duplicate?"

Level 9??!

Ji Wanwan’s understanding of her father was refreshed once again.

No wonder he’s Ji Wanwan’s dad! Absolutely amazing!

Seeing the shocked look in his daughter’s eyes, Mr. Ji was proud again, "Ahem, when you two came back last night, I got so excited that I went from level 1 to level 9..."

Ji Wanwan laughed, "That’s great news. It looks like my base has gained another strong ally."

What lay hidden behind this was Ji Wanwan’s deep contemplation.

Her father was the second Superpower user after Xu Siming to shoot up to level 9 directly. What commonality did they share?

After the standoff with the Baize Union was over, she’d have to have a good talk with both of them...
