Chapter 13: Powers (Part 2)

Although Xiao Hua wasn’t particularly curious, Bai Mu still extended his right hand and let it linger above the bowl and chopsticks. In an instant, the bowl and chopsticks disappeared.

Xiao Hua nodded in evaluation. "A storage space, pretty good. Brother Bai, you’re a walking warehouse from now on."

But Bai Mu shook his head. "Not just that."

The next moment, Xiao Hua saw Bai Mu suddenly disappear.

Xiao Hua’s eyes widened in shock.

A moment later, Bai Mu reappeared.

Xiao Hua’s mind was filled with exclamation points. She let her imagination go wild. "...Brother Bai, can your space hold people?"

Even yourself?!

This world is so terrifying!

"No, what are you thinking, huh?" Bai Mu chuckled. "This is my second power, invisibility."

Oh, invisibility.

...Wait.

A second power!

Xiao Hua: Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!

There are no dual-power users in this story. Could he be a hidden powerhouse?

Seeing Xiao Hua’s changing expressions, Bai Mu smiled and asked, "Are you surprised?"

Xiao Hua felt like Bai Mu was asking an unnecessary question. "Of course."

Xiao Hua took a moment to brace herself mentally.

She had ended up in this mess, and even had stronger powers than the original.

So, it was possible Bai Mu had an extra power and became a unique dual-ability user.

After all, this world was already absurd — the pinnacle of absurdity.

Xiao Hua suspected that the universe was playing tricks on her.

She had just been relieved to know the plot, but now she discovered a deviation in the storyline.

Damn it!

Xiao Hua decided to ask about his abilities despite her earlier reservations. "Brother Bai, how large is your space?"

"Very big," Bai Mu pondered for a moment. "But I can only access fifty square meters, with unlimited height."

Xiao Hua felt a twinge of envy. Peak performance right from the start?

This is a genius, right? Right right?

With this thought, Xiao Hua took out a crystal core and explained to Bai Mu:

"This crystal core I extracted from a zombie's head can boost internal energy and enhance strength.

On the first day, I absorbed one of these cores, and my internal energy tripled, which is how I managed to defeat the zombies.

I'm not sure if it has different effects on different people, do you want to try it?"

Bai Mu looked down at the transparent crystal in Xiao Hua's palm.

Even from a distance, he could sense the energy and a mysterious allure.

Bai Mu was inwardly shaken. He really wanted to ask Xiao Hua why she helped him so much and shared these secrets, given that he wasn't Xiao Zui and had no connection to her.

But when he met Xiao Hua's calm and clear gaze, Bai Mu couldn't bring himself to ask and even felt a bit worried.

Trusting others so readily, what if she gets deceived?

Of course, Xiao Hua didn't trust others lightly, but she trusted her intuition and believed Bai Mu was a principled person.

Furthermore, Bai Mu had shared his two abilities with her, so she felt it was only fair to reciprocate and build a good relationship.

Most importantly, since Bai Mu wasn't mentioned in the book, he had no complicated ties to the main characters.

For Xiao Hua, this meant she could approach and develop a relationship with him.

So she felt at ease.

Noticing that Bai Mu hadn't responded, Xiao Hua asked again, "Brother Bai, do you want to try it?"

Bai Mu snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at her, "Thanks, I'll give it a try."
