Current Propulsion

"Keep it down! Is this fun to you?"

A cool voice exploded beside the three of them.

It immediately put them on edge.

They could not help turning to look.

"Oh my God, you're Erik? How did you get here?"

"Shit! What happened to your body? Why are you so much more muscular? You even look taller!"

Andrew was equally surprised by Gu Qing's appearance.

Holding his upgraded camera, he wildly filmed Gu Qing from every angle.

"This isn't the place to talk."

Steve said, "I know a restaurant nearby with pretty good food."

The four of them left the supermarket and turned into the restaurant.

The moment they sat down, the three eagerly began firing questions at him all at once.

Gu Qing raised a hand to stop them.

"One at a time."

Matt said, "Erik, you disappeared after that day. Have you felt any changes in yourself?"

Steve said, "The three of us all gained Telekinesis..."

Before he could finish,

the fork in front of Gu Qing rose into the air and began spinning continuously.

Steve immediately said excitedly, "Oh my God! What did I tell you? I knew it! The three of us got Telekinesis, so Erik definitely got it too!"

Andrew pressed a finger to his lips. "Shh! Hey, Steve, do you want everyone in the restaurant to know you have Telekinesis?!"

Only then did Steve realize that he had gotten too excited.

He hurriedly suppressed his excitement.

"Erik, where have you been this whole time? Also, we asked around at school, but it seems there's no Erik in the freshman class..."

As he spoke, all three looked at Gu Qing with confusion and curiosity.

"First, I never said I was a student at your school.

"Second, I'm a drifter. I have no identity here."

Matt exclaimed, "Oh! You're undocumented?"

Gu Qing looked at him. "What? Are you going to report me to immigration?"

Matt hurriedly waved his hands. "Of course not! We're friends, remember? We explored together, and we got superpowers together!"

Steve asked, "Erik, where are you planning to go next?"

Gu Qing said, "I plan to stay in Seattle a while longer."

Steve said, "If you don't have anywhere to stay, I think you can stay with me. My parents' relationship... forget it. Anyway, my dad rarely comes home, and neither does my mom."

Gu Qing nodded. "No problem. Then thanks, Steve."

He then said to Andrew, who was still holding up his camera, "Andrew, could you stop constantly aiming the camera at my pecs?"

Looking somewhat embarrassed, Andrew lowered his camera.

"Sorry, Erik. I just... I just..."

Matt smiled and smoothed things over. "I guess Andrew's jealous. It was dark that day, but I remember Erik, you didn't seem nearly this muscular."

Steve added, "No! He was really skinny—skinnier than Andrew."

Andrew said, "I'm not skinny. I just don't like exercising. Actually, I'm very strong!"

As he spoke, he picked up a fork and bent it with his bare hands.

Matt laughed. "Come on, did you think we couldn't tell you used Telekinesis?"

Andrew's expression darkened, and he lowered his head to fiddle with his camera.

Gu Qing said, "Andrew, if you want to become like this too, perhaps I can teach you."

After seeing Andrew and the other two again, this thought had occurred to him on the spot.

He needed to change the Instance World to obtain Spacetime Value, but he could not directly kill the protagonists.

What better choice was there than remaking the protagonists themselves?

Andrew and the other two all possessed Telekinesis. Perhaps they could also use it to strengthen their wills and rub their own cells against one another.

Thereby entering the realm of Current Propulsion.

They might even go a step further, making their cells rub together at even greater speeds to generate a powerful magnetic field. Not only would they gain tremendous strength, but they could also influence the greater universe beyond!

They would enter the realm of Magnetic Field Rotation!

Magnetic Field Masters appeared to have some scientific theory backing them, but in truth, their power was an incredibly idealistic kind of force!

Talent, comprehension, and hard work were all unimportant.

What mattered was willpower!

One had to possess the will of a strong man!

And intense emotions were the easiest way to drive intense willpower. In that regard, Gu Qing thought highly of Andrew.

Driven by powerful emotions, as long as his willpower was strong enough, he could continually break through in battle.

In a single instant, he could surpass the fruits of another person's ten years of grueling cultivation!

Thus, for a Magnetic Field Master, the path to becoming stronger was never secluded training. It was fucking battle! Battle! And more battle!

Fight enemies strong enough, fierce enough, and domineering enough!

The moment Gu Qing said this, he not only caught Andrew's attention, but also got Steve and Matt excited!

"Oh my God, are you saying you really have a way to make our muscles bigger?"

Gu Qing shook a finger. "Wrong! Not bigger muscles—greater strength!"

As he spoke, Gu Qing picked up the fork from the table as though he were kneading a ball of paper.

With effortless ease, he kneaded it into a small metal ball.

The three stared wide-eyed, none of them daring to believe what they had just witnessed.

"What the fuck! This... Erik! Tell me, did you just do all that with Telekinesis?"

Gu Qing chuckled. "Sorry, but I didn't use even the slightest bit of Telekinesis just now."

Steve's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He wanted to shout in excitement, but mindful of the other people around them, he forcibly held it in.

Fortunately, his face was already dark, so no other color could be seen on it.

"Erik, how exactly did you do that?"

Gu Qing said, "That's what I'm going to teach you next: another way to use Telekinesis."

Andrew asked in confusion, "Another way to use it?"

Gu Qing said, "It seems the three of you still haven't realized what kind of power you possess.

"With your current strength, if you wanted to kill someone, even an armed criminal would be easy prey.

"Not to mention that Telekinesis can still be developed further. You haven't reached its limit yet."

Matt hurriedly waved his hands. "Oh! No, no, no! We don't want to kill anyone."

Gu Qing shrugged. "It was just an example."

Steve added, "But that example was pretty scary."

Of the three, only Andrew remained silent, though an unreadable glimmer flickered in his eyes.

Gu Qing waved a hand. "Okay, that was an inappropriate comparison. Back to the topic.

"Have you considered that no matter how powerful your Telekinesis becomes, your bodies will always remain ordinary flesh and blood?"

Steve said, "Does your method let us become Steel Bodies? Like Megatron?"

Gu Qing smiled. "Not that kind of Steel Body, but one even stronger than his. And besides..."

Gu Qing raised his hand, and a blue-white arc of electricity danced across his fingertips.

"It can also awaken another superpower."

The three, who had only just calmed down, instantly fell into shock again!

"Erik, I can't believe it. It's only been a month. Why are we still using Telekinesis for pranks while you've already developed so many applications for it?!"

Andrew pointed at the arc on Gu Qing's fingertips. "Erik, what ability is that?"

The corner of Gu Qing's lips curled upward. "I call it Current Propulsion!"
