Chapter 328: 189 The End of Greed (Second Update)

Yan Ning thought it was absurd that creatures like zombies that ate people could exist in reality. What on Earth had happened to this world? He was about to embrace a brighter future, but the apocalypse destroyed everything!

Fortunately, his celebrity status was somewhat useful. If he happened to encounter fans, he could use his face to barter for food, water, or even protection!

At first, he hadn’t awakened his superpower. Luckily, he had good fortune and met a fan of his, a girl who idolized him deeply, believing every word he said. Coincidentally, she had just awakened her superpower! Although she was small and thin, her strength after the Awakening was astonishing! She could easily snap an iron bar or use one to crush a zombie’s skull!

It was due to this devoted fan that he managed to survive the early days of the apocalypse. He wasn’t ashamed of being protected by a young girl, and if anyone insulted him for it, she would stand up and beat down the meddlers!

He could tell that the girl was very fond of him, even to the extent that she was willing to die for him. When she said she would always stay by his side to protect him, he was indeed moved.

But he was a man, always proud and ambitious. He wasn’t ashamed of being protected, but he couldn’t tolerate being powerless himself! No matter what, he always wanted to be the best!

Initially, when he heard that being infected with the Zombie Virus might lead to Awakening a superpower, he was tempted and nearly resorted to this highly risky method. But when he saw someone else, who harbored the same thought, turn into a zombie instead of Awakening after infection, he dismissed this crazy idea.

He didn’t want to die! He had to survive!

Then a bold, mad speculation suddenly occurred to him. Zombies had Crystal Cores in their brains, so what might superpower users have in theirs?

This speculation tormented him, raising his curiosity further, yet he found no way to verify it. So, he started to coax the young girl and even successfully tricked her into killing a superpower user.

That was a Water Element Superpower User, unfortunately with low Attack Power, so it barely took the girl any effort to kill that person.

Next, he instructed the girl to crack open the person’s skull to see if there was anything resembling a Crystal Core.

However, they found nothing. Unwilling to give up, he tricked the girl into searching the body thoroughly, and eventually, they found a small, blue Crystal Core the size of a soybean in the person’s heart.

This Crystal Core was entirely different from those extracted from zombies’ brains; it was more transparent, beautiful, and captivating. The girl liked such beautiful objects, but she still gave it to him. Initially, he planned to keep this unique Crystal Core to study the differences between it and the Zombie Crystal Cores.

Unknown to him, after observing it for a while, an idea suddenly emerged—by swallowing it, he could obtain Water Ability!

This thought seemed to appear out of nowhere. He couldn’t tell if he was being tempted by the Crystal Core or if it was just a reckless thought. After hesitating, he decided to follow his deepest desires and secretly swallowed the unique Crystal Core.

At the moment he swallowed it, he felt immense pain; the Crystal Core seemed alive, moving relentlessly within his body. Initially, he was terrified and regretted his foolishness. However, gradually, he was astonished to find that the Crystal Core had settled in his heart.

After that, he indeed gained Water Ability, becoming a Water Element Superpower User.

He was worried that the girl might notice, so he deliberately infected himself with the Zombie Virus, pretending the virus led to his Awakening. The girl, who was already utterly trusting of him, did not suspect a thing and even shared most of the Crystal Cores she collected for him to absorb.

At that time, he was overjoyed by his discovery and even fantasized about hunting down some powerful superpower users with weak individual strength in the future, consuming their Crystal Cores so he could possess more superpowers and become stronger than anyone else!
