Chapter 031.1: Severing Ties [1]  

【Mutated water ability? What does it mean?】


Well, it seems like I’m a little tired to cause trouble.

【The energy of your mutated water ability that is contained within your body can stimulate cell activity and promote cell division...】

Second Young Master Wu was too impatient to serenely listen to these things that he couldn’t understand.

【Speak human tongue.】

The system paused and when it spoke again, the sound of the cold mechanical voice seemed faintly frustrated.

【It has healing capability.】

Second Young Master Wu’s palpitating heart suddenly calmed down as he curled his mouth in lack of interest.

【I thought it’d be able to corrode whatever it touches. Really, an ability with no combat capability is no fun at all. 】

When playing games, Second Young Master Wu had always chosen combative roles above all else, and didn’t like playing the role of ‘milk-mother’ who was fragile, lacking HP, and couldn’t endure a little beating.

The system, well aware of Wu Ye’s personality, tossed a small bait.

【The ability that the system unlocks from within your genes is the purest, which is different from the other ordinary ability users in the apocalypse world. Once you’ve unlocked the fourth-level in the gene chain, you can transform the water into ice, which gives you offensive and defensive power.】

【Are you f**king kidding me? Unlocking the first-level gene chain has already pained me to death, what more will level four be? Anyway, when I get enough points and nuclei to treat Ah Li, and gain enough information on the artificial intelligence, I will not return there to seek death. Besides, when artificial intelligence is produced, how many young Chinese cyber-nationalists do you think will fly into my arms and do my bidding? Not to mention the amount of beautiful girls, cars, and mansions I would have. Only the foolish will go back to the apocalypse world to play hide-and-seek with the zombies.】

Besides, it took 1000 points to unlock the primary-level gene chain. How much would it take to unlock the fourth-level? Based on how miserly the system was, it wouldn’t just up the amount by 1000 points at a time.

For the first time, in the depth of the system’s microchip, there’s a kind of anger in it.

Stupid host! Don’t pay any attention to him anymore!

For quite a while, the system stayed silent, and Wu Ye knew that it was probably unhappy. However, to him, it’s better for the system to recognize the reality early on, so it wouldn’t harbour any unrealistic fantasies.

Thereafter, Wu Ye unhurriedly tossed his ability around. It wasn’t until he’d drenched himself several times that he finally found a way to utilize it. He grasped a mysterious feeling, slowly controlled and condensed his strength to his hands. Gradually, a thin layer of water film covered his hands, faintly emitting a layer of hazy silver light. Wu Ye waited for the silver light to dissipate together with the water film. Once it’s gone, he looked at his palms, shocked. His palms were now as lustrous as a jade!

Where were the traces of injuries on his hands just now? Even the thin calluses left from holding the gun these days had disappeared completely.

Those are his medals as a man, d*mn it!

Wu Ye dropped his hands in frustration, ridiculing his own ability once again.

Having stayed up for most of the night, Wu Ye felt sleepy. He  took a bath, replaced all the blood soaked sheets and quilt on the bed with clean ones, before he comfortably laid on it, drifting into a dreamless slumber until dawn.

It wasn’t until after 8 AM that Wu Ye woke up and opened the door. He was greeted by the sight of his mother’s radiant figure. He sweetly complimented her.

“Mom, you are very beautiful today, your complexion looks radiant. Let’s take a stroll around the street later, surely those young girls will be envious to death when they see the condition of your skin.”

Mother Wu was really beautiful, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to give birth to two sons with exquisite facial features, Wu Ye and Wu Li. She was used to a dignified life and maintaining her appearance, making her look like a young woman in her thirties even though she was actually in her fifties.

Before, unbeknownst to her, she was envied by the ladies of rich and powerful families’ for her fair skin that was as white as sheep’s fur, tight, delicate not to mention smooth body. However, during this period of time, there was a series of misfortune that happened at home, worrying Mother Wu so much that she didn’t have the mind to take care of herself. As such, the wrinkles in the corner of her eyes sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Her whole person looked so old and haggard that she looked no different from other ordinary women in their fifties outside. It was only after taking the body-strengthening pill that Mother Wu’s face and complexion glowed once again.

Not only her skin, but Mother Wu also felt the obvious surge of strength in her body. After giving birth to Wu Li, she had a problem getting up every morning. Dizziness would always assault her at that time, but now that problem seemed to have disappeared to thin air.

“Really, it’s still early and you’ve already started your sweet-talk.” Mother Wu was much more aware of the changes in her body than Wu Ye, so she couldn’t stop smiling even if she wanted to.

Seeing that his mother was happy, Wu Ye began to pelt her with a basketful of coaxing words. Wu Yong, who got up early in the morning to buy Wu Ye the nameless steamed buns he liked, returned at that moment. Listening to just a few words made him feel that his teeth ached.

HeXie: Whose ties is severed I wonder?
