Host: Gu Qing Spacetime Value: 5300 points ...
After Matt and Steve had made up their minds to leave first, Gu Qing discovered that his Spacetime Value had increased dramatically.
It had risen directly from two thousand points to over five thousand.
Gu Qing was the last to return to the road.
The instant he left, the dead driver's body suddenly decomposed where it lay.
It merged with the rainwater and flowed into the lake.
The car also sank to the bottom of the lake.
The evidence was destroyed, eliminating any future trouble.
None of the three spoke along the way.
The atmosphere in the car was exceptionally heavy.
Steve spoke first. "What if the police come looking for us? How do we explain this?"
Gu Qing replied blandly, "There's an old saying in the East: soldiers come, generals meet them; water comes, earth dams it."
Steve looked at him. "Erik, you're calm, and you know a lot. At first, I didn't believe you were a drifter. Now, I'm starting to."
By the time the car drove into Steve's neighborhood, the rain had stopped.
Matt, who had remained silent the whole way, suddenly slammed on the brakes.
After getting out, he opened the rear door and reached in to pull Andrew out.
"Andrew, get out. We need to talk!"
Andrew seemed reluctant, but he did not use Telekinesis to resist. Matt forcibly dragged him out of the car.
Steve was a little worried and got out as well.
Naturally, Gu Qing had no reason to remain in the car.
"You think this is a game, Andrew?"
Andrew could not help saying, "I don't understand why you're all so angry!"
Matt immediately got even more furious. "You don't understand why we're angry? That was a human life! And you—you killed him!"
Andrew defended himself, "I didn't mean to kill him. I just..."
Matt said, "You've really disappointed me, Andrew. You killed someone. Don't you feel anything about it at all?!"
Andrew's lips moved, but he said nothing.
Yet Gu Qing detected a certain change in his eyes.
It was a transformation.
A transformation from a cowardly piece of trash into a Top Predator!
Seeing that Andrew had fallen silent, Matt irritably scratched his hair before saying, "I think we need to set some rules, okay? First, no using our abilities on living creatures. Second, no using them when we're angry. Third, I don't think we should use them in public or tell anyone about this!"
Andrew shook his head. "You can't just make rules by yourself..."
Before he could finish, Matt shouted, "I fucking am making the rules!"
Andrew said, "You were the one who said it was fine, that we could do it at the supermarket..."
"Andrew! Look at me!"
Matt placed both hands on Andrew's shoulders and stared into his eyes at close range.
"Andrew, our abilities are only going to get stronger. We need rules to restrain us, or I don't even dare imagine what else might happen!"
Steve added, "Matt's right. We need rules."
Andrew looked at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing shrugged. "I abstain."
Andrew wanted to shout, I'll do whatever I want!
But he could not.
So he suppressed it all inside.
On the surface, he agreed to Matt's rules.
The next day.
In Steve's backyard.
Andrew and Steve sat across from Gu Qing.
"Where's Matt?"
Andrew shook his head. "He said he thought about it last night. Before he masters the power he already has, he doesn't want to gain any more. He thinks it might cause him to lose control."
Gu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.
He did not say anything more.
"Fine, then the three of us can start."
Under Gu Qing's instruction.
The days passed one by one.
At first, the three of them were still nervous, afraid that the police would come knocking.
Whenever they heard sirens on the road, they thought the police had come to arrest them.
But nothing ever happened.
The three of them gradually let down their guard.
About a month later.
That day, Andrew excitedly said to Gu Qing, "Erik! I did it! I did it!"
He held out his right hand, intending to demonstrate.
Tiny blue arcs of electricity danced across his fingertips.
They were weak, but he had indeed succeeded.
"How many volts can you release now?"
Andrew shook his head. "I don't know, I..."
Gu Qing spread his arms. "Come on. Attack me with everything you have."
Andrew hesitated.
"Stop dithering! Do it!"
Andrew was startled by the sudden shout.
In the end, he made up his mind and fiercely released a surge of electricity at Gu Qing.
But when it reached him, it dissipated completely.
Before Andrew could react in surprise and ask anything, Gu Qing nodded in satisfaction. "Ten Thousand Volts. You've reached the minimum threshold for Current Propulsion. Congratulations, you've entered the field!"
Andrew had been able to enter the field so quickly not only because of the boost from his Telekinesis, but also because of Gu Qing.
Every Magnetic Field Master was a source of radioactive pollution, continuously contaminating the surrounding magnetic field.
Gu Qing's current strength was not enough to contaminate the entire planet, but cultivating near him could indeed speed up the process.
"Erik, I feel like my changes aren't limited to this. I mean the electricity, and my body getting stronger. Besides that, there are... there are some other changes too..."
Gu Qing smiled. "Of course. Under the stimulation of Current Propulsion, cultivators will also gain certain additional abilities.
I call them Bionic Abilities!
For example, an eagle's eyes, a bat's hearing, a spider's vibration sense, a rattlesnake's thermal vision, and so on...
The strengths of all kinds of animals can be found in humans."
Andrew said in surprise, "Oh! My God! So we're all going to become superhumans?!"
Gu Qing patted his shoulder. "These are only basic things. Once you enter the Magnetic Field Rotation realm, you'll experience what real power truly is!"
"Magnetic Field Rotation...?"
Andrew was about to ask when Steve ran over. "Hey, guys, Matt says something's up and wants us to go over."
Steve was on the school football team, so he was already quite tall and built.
After a month of training, although he had not entered Current Propulsion like Andrew, his body had become much more muscular.
The muscles on his body had also bulged out.
Andrew was the same. He was no longer as thin as before. Though his muscles were not yet obvious, he already looked sturdier than an ordinary person.
Steve drove, taking Gu Qing and Andrew with him.
On the way, Gu Qing asked Andrew, "How have things been between you and Matt lately? Have they eased up?"
Andrew fell silent.
Steve said, "Actually, Matt isn't angry anymore. But you know how men are. Sometimes they just can't bring themselves to take the initiative because of their pride.
Maybe this is a good opportunity. Matt said he had something important to tell us. Andrew, Matt is your cousin. Whatever you have to say, you can say it to each other."
Andrew remained silent, only nodding.
Soon, the three arrived at an open area in the countryside.
Looking around, they could see only Matt's car parked in the distance, but Matt himself was nowhere to be seen.
Steve shouted, "Matt! Matt! Hey, stop hiding. I can already see you!"
A laugh suddenly rang out from the sky. "Haha, Steve, if you could really see me, you should be looking up!"
They followed the sound and saw Matt floating in midair with his arms spread wide!
He was staring excitedly at everyone!
