In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 96 A blessing in disguise

When she woke up again, she was lying in her own bed.

The outer clothes and trousers have already been taken off.

She changed into comfortable loungewear, which was clearly Luo Mei's doing.

Chi Heng sat quietly to the side, his gaze fixed on her face in the dim light.

"woke up?"

His voice was somewhat hoarse, filled with deep guilt.

"Ah."

"sorry."

This is his second apology today.

With Chi Heng's help, Yu Yao slowly sat up, supporting herself on the bed.

Compared to my previous anger, I am much calmer now.

"What wrong have you done? If anyone is at fault, it's me who dragged you into this mess."

To put it bluntly, Chi Heng made this sacrifice to save her.

Chi Heng immediately retorted, "Don't say that."

Yu Yao chuckled softly, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that~ Tell me about that potion, is it effective?"

That was a medicine in the prescription that made up for the deficit and increased resources.

To enhance the medicinal effect, she specially added millennium-old spiritual dew and top-grade mutated pearls.

She herself didn't know if it would work.

Chi Heng said, "It's useful. Not only is it useful, but I've also upgraded it. After the upgrade, the mutated pearl can absorb 16 pearls at a time."

He is now a mid-level Level 3 ability user.

"Seize the young man???"

"16."

Yu Yao stared wide-eyed in surprise, her mouth agape in surprise.

That adorable face made Chi Heng, who had always felt guilty, no longer furrow his brow.

His expression gradually softened.

"Thanks to you."

"No, it's all thanks to the thousand-year-old spiritual dew in the heart of the tree, and Ah Mei." Yu Yao said, her eyes crinkling into a bright smile.

She never expected that Luo Mei could help her refine medicine.

If that's the case, with Luo Mei's help, wouldn't it be much easier to inscribe difficult spirit runes in the future?

She had long ago discovered that her mental strength was insufficient, even though it spread quickly and widely.

However, their strength is insufficient.

They can't compare to a genuine psychic ability user like Luo Mei.

Therefore, progress in the path of a spirit pattern master is relatively difficult, and it takes a long time to truly become a master.

Before this, if Luo Mei had been there...

Hehehe~

"It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Looks like I need to do some serious research!

......

Chi Heng's heart skipped a beat, the sound of his heartbeat echoing repeatedly in his chest.

He quietly watched the silly, grinning little girl.

The dark and cold chest seemed to feel a touch of warmth under a dazzling ray of light.

......

Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door and Luo Mei's voice.

"Is Ayao awake? I can hear voices."

Seeing this, Yu Yao said to Chi Heng, "Shall we go out?"

Chi Heng frowned slightly, and when he glanced sideways at the doorway, a hint of danger crept into his eyes.

"Don't you need to rest a little longer?"

"No need, I'm perfectly fine!"

"..."

......

When I opened the door, I found that my other teammates were all staring at me expectantly.

Luo Mei stood guard at the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yu Yao's complexion had improved considerably.

"My goodness, you two scared me to death! What happened?"

Yu Yao turned her head and looked at Chi Heng strangely.

"Didn't you say so, boss?"

"No."

"..."

This person is really...

Unexpectedly, Chi Heng didn't say anything, so Yu Yao pulled Luo Mei to sit down on the sofa.

I explained the whole story to them.

I heard that Chi Heng's aptitude was damaged because he forced his way through a breakthrough, and he almost stopped at the level of a level three ability user for the rest of his life.

The remaining people each had their own expressions of shock and bewilderment!

It is also said that the potion that Yu Yao later refined not only restored his talent.

It also made him even more gifted, allowing him to absorb 16 mutated pearls at once.

The group became even more agitated.

Jiang Yi exclaimed, "Huh?"

"Wait, are you two moving this fast? You've already completed the entire process of sacrifice, repair, and advancement without us knowing anything?"

Dongfang Jin looked at Chi Heng disapprovingly, "You're too impulsive. Don't you think about what will happen to the rest of us if something goes wrong?"

Chi Heng's expression was calm and unhurried. "You can all be fine without me."

Dongfang Jin cursed, "What nonsense are you spouting! If it weren't for Xiao Qi's solution, you'd be finished!"

"It's okay, I won't be finished even without superpowers."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin looked deeply at Chi Heng, her eyes filled with a profound meaning that only Chi Heng could understand.

......

However, the group didn't waste too much time on defeating Chi Heng; instead, they were curious about how Yu Yao had suddenly learned to concoct medicine.

And it's so cool!

Yu Yao frankly said, "Killing Bai Yanqi gave me the recipe and the medicine furnace, and this is the first time I've used them."

Luo Mei nodded and smiled, "Okay, this old man isn't entirely useless!"

Yu Yao added, "This time, the boss solved the problem of the thousand-year-old mutated banyan tree and obtained a lot of spiritual dew. I will refine it in the next few days so that we can all improve our physique."

"This is great!"

"Oh, right." Yu Yao said, taking out the items dropped by the mutated banyan tree one by one.

"And these too: Wood-type spirit crystals can alter the purity of a wood-type ability user's power and increase its upper limit. Mutant ghost vines are impervious to blades and fire, and are extremely fast."

She can control plants, provided that the plants have roots and their own energy.

Unlike the Ghost Vine, which requires special abilities to activate before it can be used!

She doesn't have any superpowers!

As for the sacred tree seed that quietly takes root in the dantian and the book "Shenmu Xin", she did not mention them for the time being.

As Yu Yao spoke, she glanced at Jiang Yi and Chi Heng.

The items currently displayed in front of us were all created by Chi Heng.

In Yu Yao's opinion, he should have a say in who gets this thing.

After all, Chi Heng himself can also use wood-type abilities.

But Chi Heng didn't care about these things at all and pushed them all in front of Jiang Yi.

"Xiao Yi is the most suitable, so you can have them all."

Jiang Yi didn't push or shove him politely.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Xie Xiaoqi".

"Thank you, Xiao Qi~"

Needless to say, he would thank Yu Yao.

However, his way of thanking Yu Yao was exceptionally warm.

He spread his arms wide, ready to give Yu Yao a big hug.

Yu Yao herself is not averse to this.

Having interacted with her teammates for so many days, she could say that, apart from Luo Mei, she had spent the most time with Jiang Yi and got along the best with him.

Coupled with his deceptive appearance, Yu Yao always felt like she was playing with an underage little brother next door.

They don't usually pay much attention to the distance between them and have long been used to putting their arms around each other's shoulders.

However, this behavior is particularly irritating to some people.

He reached out and pressed down hard on Jiang Yi's head, stopping him from doing so.

"What kind of behavior is this?!"

Jiang Yi blinked, then pursed her lips.

"Okay, I'll listen to the boss. After all, the boss gave me all the treasures~"

Dongfang Jin raised an eyebrow, completely understanding.

......
