Awakening, Resonator

# Chapter 7: Awakening, Resonator

In the live stream room, hearing Su Bai's words, Hexi's eyes immediately lit up with a bright gleam.

That gaze wove together intense curiosity, a hint of regret—

And after hearing Qilin's response, a quietly rising surprise and appreciation.

She was deeply interested in this evolutionary path that sounded completely different from Super Genes.

What a pity, such a rare device was about to be given away... She probably wouldn't get a chance to study it herself.

And when Qilin's voice came through, Hexi was momentarily stunned.

This young girl could actually resist such temptation and take the initiative to refuse?

Then, a trace of genuine admiration gently rippled in her eyes.

Keisha's thoughts were largely the same as Hexi's.

Faced with Qilin's refusal, Su Bai shook his head:

"No need, Xiao Xue says don't worry. Keisha has the diary, and Queen Morgana will be handled by Keisha."

Keisha?

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Qilin couldn't help but feel curious:

"This Keisha... Is she very strong?"

"Xiao Xue says Keisha dealing with Morgana is like an older sister disciplining her younger sister—just a matter of convenience."

Hearing this, Qilin couldn't help but feel shocked.

After all, anyone who could earn the title of Demon Queen was definitely not someone to be trifled with, no matter how you looked at it.

To be able to beat Morgana like that, this person named Keisha must be incredibly powerful.

Keisha, who was watching the live stream, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

—And yet, she really couldn't refute it.

At the same time, she became even more certain: this transmigrator and the system behind him understood them... far more deeply than she had imagined.

Hexi on the side had already burst out laughing:

"Hahahaha... Well said, 'older sister disciplining her younger sister—just a matter of convenience'!"

Seeing Su Bai's insistence, Qilin no longer refused.

Su Bai took out a strangely shaped device and handed it to her.

"What should I do?" Qilin looked at him.

Su Bai tilted his ear as if listening, clearly receiving instructions from Xiao Xue, then repeated:

"The Resonance Activation Device can activate the frequency bands within a human body, awakening the user's Resonance Power and making them a Resonator. As for the operating method..."

"Just place your hand on it."

Hearing this, Qilin nodded to show she understood.

Qilin nodded, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and slowly pressed her hand onto the surface of the device.

The next moment—

A sudden, unexpected gale whipped up, sending both Qilin's and Su Bai's hair flying.

The three people in the live stream room locked their gazes on the screen, not blinking.

Especially Hexi, whose eyes burned with an intensity that seemed ready to overflow.

Then, a short vertical mark appeared in the center of Qilin's forehead, and the tips of her hair began to take on a feathery luster and form. (Reference: Yangyang)

Qilin opened her eyes, the surprise in them not yet faded.

She looked at Su Bai, her voice carrying irrepressible excitement mixed with a hint of disbelief:

"I... I think I can hear the 'voice' of the wind."

Feeling her description might not be accurate enough, she quickly added:

"No, not the sound of wind... It's the 'information' the wind brings. And... I think I can also use the power of the wind..."

As Qilin's words fell, the airflow within the dimensional space seemed to respond to her perception, beginning to slowly swirl. Several strands of wind coiled around her fingertips, like tamed silk threads or dancing traces of light.

She raised her hand and tentatively pushed forward—

A gentle yet distinct current of air surged ahead, stirring the hair on Su Bai's forehead not far away.

"It really works..." Qilin murmured, the light in her eyes growing brighter.

Inside the live stream room, Hexi had practically held her breath through the entire process.

She leaned forward slightly, her fingertips unconsciously tapping on the armrest—a habit of hers when deep in thought.

"Resonator... Frequency activation... Wind information..."

She repeated these words softly, the light in her eyes growing stronger.

"Not Super Genes, not dark energy driving..."

Keisha's gaze was equally calm and focused.

She looked at the pattern on Qilin's forehead in the footage, as well as the feathery halo at the tips of her hair, then suddenly spoke: "And it seems that becoming a Resonator also brings some obvious changes in appearance."

Hexi watched the Sound Mark on Qilin's forehead and the changes in her hair in the footage, then nodded. "Indeed... but I wonder if this is a special case or..."

"Also, wind... so it seems there are elements like fire, water, and lightning too?"

"Not sure, but I think the answer will be revealed soon enough," Keisha said with a meaningful tone.

Hexi gave a noncommittal nod. "True. If they want to catch our attention, they'd naturally have to throw out some 'good stuff.'"

Qilin temporarily suppressed the excitement in her heart, looked at Su Bai, and asked: "So... have I awakened a superpower to control wind now?"

Though she was asking Su Bai, it was more like she was asking the system Xiao Xue beside him.

Su Bai's gaze shifted to the floating orb of light beside him.

Xiao Xue let out a soft sigh, almost human-like.

Originally, all she had to do was stay in the System Space. Aside from the newbie guide and mission rewards, she could drink cola, play video games, binge-watch shows, and scroll through videos—

Now, she had to explain everything from start to finish just to use an item.

...But then again, there was no helping it.

Who told her to mess up the operation and cause such a mess?

She just hoped that after Su Bai recovered, he'd appreciate her hard work and not file a complaint.

So now, a scene reminiscent of that "certain detective elementary schooler" played out—

The sleeping... no, the "awakened" Su Bai, word for word, repeated the deductions of "Detective Xiao Xue":

"You have now successfully awakened and become a 'Resonator.'"

"'Resonator'?" Qilin's eyes were full of confusion.

It was the first time she had heard that term.

The audience in the livestream also silently noted down this term.

Resonator...

"A Resonator is a human who can perceive and manipulate the 'frequency' of all things, releasing Resonance Power through the 'Sound Mark' on their body. They are individuals who wield the power of 'resonance,'" 'Su Bai' narrated.

Qilin curiously touched her forehead. Just at the moment of awakening, she had noticed something different there—or rather, the 'wind' had told her quite a bit.

"Sound Mark... is that what's on my forehead?"

The livestream audience also focused their attention on the special black mark on Qilin's forehead.

Su Bai looked over at Xiao Xue beside him.

Xiao Xue gave an affirmative answer.

Su Bai understood and nodded to Qilin.

After receiving confirmation, Qilin fell into thought. So, to release her abilities, she needed this special 'organ' called the Sound Mark on her forehead?

In other words, only those with a Sound Mark could become a Resonator.

Xiao Xue continued to relay through Su Bai's mouth.

"A Resonator's resonance source is generally divided into six types: Light, Dark, Wind, Fire, Ice, and Lightning."

"Qilin, the one you've awakened is the 'Pneumatic' attribute, with Wind as your resonance source."

"As for ability development, I think the 'wind' will tell you the answer."

After a pause, Su Bai's voice continued. "If you have any other questions, you can ask them once this dummy recovers a bit."
