"Plunder? Supernatural abilities!"
"Bingo! You're right. It's plundering supernatural abilities!" Giving Qi Shang a look that said 'You're so smart', Shu Yao continued, "Normally, a person can only have one supernatural ability, but there are no absolutes in everything. So the leader of their group seems to have the ability to plunder the supernatural abilities of other users... And it seems that he can give the plundered abilities to others, but we're not sure if this information is true. After all, although my boyfriend and his elite younger brother are very capable, they've already done their best to find out this much information."
"Can they plunder supernatural abilities at will? Isn't there anyone to stop them?" Qi Shang frowned. If it was just losing his ability, he wouldn't care that much. He never regarded his own supernatural ability as something to show off. But these people not only plundered abilities, they also killed people!
"So far, there have been more than twenty supernatural ability users around the world who have been victimized. One of them managed to escape death. Although he'll have to lie in bed for the rest of his life, he provided us with a lot of useful information!"
The two of them talked for a long time about that group of people and how to cooperate to deal with them. By the time Qi Shang got home, it was almost eleven o'clock. This was even though he skipped evening self - study to talk with Shu Yao. If he had attended evening self - study first, he probably wouldn't have gotten home until after two o'clock.
He didn't know if Xia Lin was asleep at this hour, but Qi Shang was really hungry. He went to the kitchen, heated up the midnight snack Xia Lin had left for him in the microwave, quickly finished eating, washed the dishes, took a shower, then got into bed and cuddled up with Xia Lin.
Smelling the nice, faint fragrance of shower gel on Xia Lin, Qi Shang thought to himself: For Xia Lin, even if the enemy was extremely powerful, he wouldn't yield. But right now, he was still too weak. Thinking of this, Qi Shang made up his mind. Even though there would be quite a risk, he had to give it a try, because he had to become stronger!
The next day, at the breakfast table, Qi Shang told Xia Lin that he was going to leave for a few days and go to a city that was so far away it would take six or seven hours to get there by plane.
Naturally, Xia Lin was curious and asked him what he was going there for, but Qi Shang said it was a secret and that he wouldn't tell Xia Lin until he got back.
Xia Lin was quite open - minded. He joked, "As long as you're not going to find a mistress!"
Qi Shang also played along and pretended to be angry, saying, "How could you doubt me? Fortunately, I'm a magnanimous person, so I won't argue with you."
After the joking was over, Xia Lin got down to business. "How many days are you going to be gone? When are you leaving?"
"I'll leave tomorrow. I'll probably be back in about a week, but it's not certain. You might not be able to contact me then. Don't worry. I'll definitely come back safely."
The more he said that, the more worried Xia Lin became. He didn't know what Qi Shang was really going to do. Why wouldn't he tell him? How could he not be worried?
But soon, Xia Lin found out what Qi Shang was going to do, because the system issued a mission. [Ding~ Help Qi Shang improve his supernatural ability and return safely. Mission reward: Stay in this world for one more month. Failure penalty: None]
This mission was very special. The reward wasn't the traditional one of reducing the blackening value. Even more special was that there was no failure penalty. But even without a penalty, Xia Lin would do his best, for Qi Shang to return safely!
