Chapter 65: The Legendary Max-Level Healing Superpowerer

Chapter 65 The Legendary Peak-Level Healing Ability User

Psychic Ability is an extremely rare power, appearing in only one out of ten thousand superpowered people. Yet, both Little Stone and Little Rose awakened with Psychic Abilities.

Before this, both children had drunk water from the Magic Spring, making Ji An suspect a link between their awakening and the spring.

Ji An had always considered the Magic Spring to be a miraculous thing, and now he was almost certain of it.

If the right method to upgrade such a wondrous Magic Spring could be discovered, its effects could be beyond imagination.

But how exactly should it be upgraded?

Deep in thought, Ji An failed to notice the profound gaze Gu Jinsheng directed at him.

The next day, Ji An and Gu Jinsheng went to check out his new villa.

Strictly speaking, the place Ji An currently lived in couldn’t truly be considered his own—it was more like company housing, granting him residency rights but no ownership or sale rights, though it was a lifetime lease.

Now that he had property in his name, Ji An naturally wanted to see it. If no changes were needed, he planned to move in soon.

The villa’s location was excellent, situated in the heart of the city’s most upscale district, where every inch was prime real estate. From there, it was a short distance to both the Command Center and the Research Institute, and the base’s busiest shopping district was just minutes away.

The villa district’s security was top-notch, with even the security guards being mid-level superpowered individuals.

From a distance, Ji An noticed the entire villa area enveloped in a glowing blue energy shield, occasional electric sparks flickering across its surface.

The landscaping was exceptionally well-maintained, clearly tended to by plant-manipulating superhumans. Even in this wasteland era where greenery was scarce, the villa was surrounded by blooming flowers, their fragrance carried by the breeze.

Inside the villa grounds, towering trees and lush lawns were faintly visible.

At the main entrance stood a water feature—more of an artificial lake with a fountain built into it.

The lake encircled the entire community, flowing past every resident’s doorstep, so everyone could see the water from their villa’s windows.

The lake also featured artificial rock formations, lotuses, and various aquatic plants. Occasionally, meter-long mutated koi would leap from the water, like koi leaping the Dragon Gate.

When Ji An and Gu Jinsheng drove up to the villa’s entrance, Ji An expected to show identification. Instead, as soon as he lowered the window, the security personnel immediately recognized him. "Mr. Ji, welcome home."

The guard grinned as he handed over a tablet. "The Command Center informed us yesterday that you might be moving in soon. Here’s the personal information they provided. Would you like to make any changes or additions?"

Ji An glanced at the tablet and saw that the resident profile only listed "Ji" under the name field, with all other basic details like gender and age left blank.

"This is fine," Ji An said.

"Understood." The guard, accustomed to residents keeping their information private, nodded politely and handed Ji An an access card. "This is the community’s access card. Please keep it safe.

"From now on, you can enter the community in three ways. First, facial recognition. Though we don’t formally record residents’ faces, all our security personnel are superpowered and can accurately identify every homeowner. Simply show your face, and we’ll open the gate immediately.

"Second, card access—you can swipe the card yourself.

"Third, ability recognition. This requires registering your power. When returning, just use your ability on the scanner to gain entry."

Abilities are broadly categorized into types like water or fire, but even within the same type, each individual’s power has a unique energy frequency, like a fingerprint.

As they spoke, Ji An noticed a car at the adjacent lane. The driver released a burst of energy at the scanner, and the gate opened, allowing the vehicle to pass.

"Mr. Ji, always use the main gate when entering or exiting. Never try to climb the walls. While our community’s barrier isn’t as lethal as the base’s—which vaporizes zombies or intruders on contact—it’s still extremely dangerous. Trespassers risk grave injury at minimum; at worst, they die."

"I understand."

"Lastly, here's our property service card with the main office number and contacts for all security staff. The number after each guard's name shows which villa area they oversee. If you need us, you can call your area's security supervisor, the front desk, or any other guard," the security officer said.

"Understood," Ji An replied, taking the card.

The guard then asked, "Mr. Ji, could we get your contact number? Just in case we need to reach you. Don't worry—we'll keep it completely confidential."

Just as Ji An started to respond, Gu Jinsheng cut in: "No."

"No problem," the guard said, backing off immediately as he opened the gate for them.

Gu Jinsheng explained to Ji An, "This neighborhood is for people who've made major contributions to the base—not just killing zombies, but completing top-secret missions.

Even their phone numbers are classified.

Don't go handing out your number either.

Some owners here don't even use their real last names with property management."

Ji An remarked, "Taking down some traffickers sure wouldn't qualify me to live here."

Gu Jinsheng clarified, "Your spot isn't about that. It's the nutrient formula. They just used the trafficking bust as an excuse to give you the place. If you'd moved in right after the formula's invention, people might've connected the dots."

As Ji An and Gu Jinsheng reached their villa and stored the car in their spatial storage, they turned to see a familiar figure.

"Auntie Dai!" Ji An said, recognizing Gu Jinsheng's mother, Dai Xin.

"Mom," Gu Jinsheng acknowledged.

Dai Xin looked at her son before smiling at Ji An. "I was just taking a walk when I spotted you two from a distance."

Spotting the key in Ji An's hand, she grinned wider. "Xiao An, you're finally living here!"

"Huh?" Ji An caught the hint but didn't get it.

Dai Xin continued, "Some lovesick fool traded his mansion for our tiny apartment just to get closer to someone special. Where else would you get a steal like that? Otherwise, with our records, Old Gu and I wouldn't qualify to live here."

This place isn't for small-time contributors—only those who've changed the base's fate can get in.

But Ji An's achievements put him at the top. The nutrient formula didn't just save the Capital Base—it saved humanity.

Ji An glanced at Gu Jinsheng and—wait, were his ears turning pink?

Dai Xin wasn't joking. The usually composed Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Base had actually pulled such a childish stunt to pursue someone.

Hiding a grin, Ji An asked, "Auntie Dai, want to come inside?"

"Love to!"

The place was as fancy as expected—over-the-top European style with marble everywhere and crystal chandeliers. Besides ceiling lights, vintage wall sconces lined both sides.

Four floors total—three above ground, one below.

Two courtyards (backyard slightly bigger, with a swimming pool), plus an open roof deck—great for tanning or grilling.

Just a few steps from the villa was the community's central garden. The whole compound was huge—guards used golf carts for patrols.

After looking around, Ji An was sold. No changes necessary—he could move in tomorrow.

Gu Jinsheng glanced at Dai Xin, who was admiring flowers in the front yard, and whispered to Ji An, "Happy with it?"

Ji An nodded. "I'll go back and pack my things. I'll move over tomorrow."

Gu Jinsheng asked, "What about me?"

His tone remained as calm as ever, with no noticeable fluctuation, yet Ji An inexplicably sensed a tinge of complaint in his voice. Recalling what this man had done just to live with him, Ji An was absolutely certain he wasn’t mistaken.

"You—" Ji An deliberately drew out the word with a smile, watching as Gu Jinsheng’s eyes flickered between anticipation and unease. "Alright, you can tag along."

Ji An saw Gu Jinsheng’s eyes instantly light up like stars. "Then let’s move in tonight. There’s not much to bring over anyway."

Ji An: "..."

That evening, the two of them settled in. The environment here was truly pleasant. After enjoying a feast prepared by Gu Jinsheng, they sat on the spacious open-air balcony, where the evening breeze carried the moist air from the artificial lake. Ji An found his headache a little easier to handle.

Before bed, Ji An handed Gu Jinsheng a bottle of spiritual spring water as usual. Without asking any questions, Gu Jinsheng took it, drank his medicine, and went to sleep.

Good times never last. Soon, Gu Jinsheng’s month-long vacation came to an end.

In truth, for a severe injury like having one’s superpower nullified, a month’s leave was far from enough—even a year would be too short. But there was no helping it. As the Commander-in-Chief of the base, even this one-month break had been hard-won.

Once Gu Jinsheng returned to work, he became extremely busy, often not coming home for days. Left alone, Ji An found his headaches worsening and decided to head to the lab.

Wu Youyang had been managing things solo at the lab. It wasn’t that the lab had nothing to do in Ji An’s absence—on the contrary, there was always an overwhelming amount of work. Spatial storage devices, nutrient packs, and observation logs of regenerative plants and animals kept Wu Youyang so busy that even grabbing a bite was a challenge.

"Boss Ji, you’re here already?" Wu Youyang said upon seeing Ji An. "Boss Ji, you should still be resting. I heard injuries like this take at least a year to recover from. Many people still suffer headaches and can’t focus even after a year."

Ji An replied, "I have too much work to take that long. I’ll just push through with meds."

If he waited until his headaches completely disappeared before returning to the lab, he might never make it back.

The headaches caused by the loss of his superpower were a lifelong side effect, with no known cure—not even the most powerful healer could fix it.

Ji An asked, "How are my specimens doing? Any new regenerative plants or animals sent over?"

"They’re all healthy. I’ve even run a few observation experiments," Wu Youyang answered while shooting a covert message to Gu Jinsheng. His words wouldn’t sway Boss Ji, but Commander-in-Chief Gu would surely find a way to make his boss return to rest.

Wu Youyang’s sneaky texting was far too obvious. Massaging his forehead, Ji An said, "No need to message Jinsheng. He’s back at work himself—what room does he have to talk?"

Wu Youyang awkwardly put away his phone. "Boss Ji, you’ve got it wrong. I wasn’t snitching on you to Commander-in-Chief Gu..."

The denial backfired instantly. Before Wu Youyang could finish, Gu Jinsheng’s call came through.

Ji An glanced meaningfully at Wu Youyang as the name flashed on his phone screen.

Adhering to the principle that if he didn’t feel awkward, the awkwardness would fall on someone else, Wu Youyang stubbornly stood his ground.

"Hello, Jinsheng."

"You’re at the lab?" Gu Jinsheng said. "Wu Youyang just messaged me."

"Really?" Ji An smirked at Wu Youyang. "But Wu Youyang claims he never sent you anything."

Gu Jinsheng fell silent before replying, "Come to the command center now. The Level-7 healer has arrived."

Ji An’s eyes instantly sparkled brighter than stars.

The legendary Level-7 healer could raise the dead and cure the uncurable. Could they possibly restore his psychic ability?

"On my way."
