The Drawback of the Godly Skill "Superpower Mimicry"

The school cafeteria.

Fang Yuan handed his meal card to Han Youwei and said with great generosity, "Swipe away."

"This... is what you meant by treating me to a meal?" Han Youwei pressed her lips together, holding back a laugh.

"What's wrong with that? Then let's go upstairs. Swipe away there too," Fang Yuan said magnanimously.

At the school cafeteria, even swiping away wouldn't cost much.

In fact, Han Youwei often ate at the school cafeteria and had no complaints about the food.

It was just that treating someone to a meal at the school cafeteria felt strange, however she looked at it.

Even going to KFC would have been more appropriate than the school cafeteria.

In the end, they sat down by the railing on the second floor and bought two claypot rice meals with his card.

Fang Yuan also added two glasses of iced fruit juice.

When he sat down to eat, he unexpectedly discovered that his Rage Points had begun rising by +1, +1.

Looking up, he actually found many of the boys around them staring at him with resentment in their eyes.

Fang Yuan grumbled inwardly, I'm just having a meal with your goddess, aren't I? Even this generates Rage Points. In that case... I need to have more meals like this.

"What are you staring at? Never seen someone treat a pretty girl to a meal before?"

Fang Yuan really couldn't stand their resentful gazes and snapped back at them.

Then his Rage Points, which had been rising by +1, +1, began rising by +2, +2 instead.

Han Youwei nearly choked when she heard that and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Then WeChat Moments and the school's Tieba forum exploded.

Someone even secretly took a photo of Han Youwei eating with a boy and posted it on Moments.

All the class group chats were discussing Fang Yuan's fearless, heroic feat of challenging Han Youwei, the goddess of No. 1 High School.

Some even started a betting pool on how many days it would take for Li Weilian to beat Fang Yuan into the hospital.

Everyone used screen names on the school's Tieba forum, so their comments were even more unrestrained.

Waiting on the Wall for an Affair: How could Han Youwei eat with Fang Yuan? What's so special about him? His martial arts grades are garbage. Could Han Youwei like guys with good academic grades? Then wouldn't that mean...

Pig-Riding Top Student: That's right, yours truly! Goddess Youwei must like top students like me.

Your Uncle Wang Next Door: Replying to @Pig-Riding Top Student: Don't think I don't know who you are. Even the pig you ride would score higher than you on an exam.

Pig-Riding Top Student: Replying to @Your Uncle Wang Next Door: Screw you! I'm going to expose how your mom wears your dad's underwear.

As he was shoveling down his food.

His phone chimed. Fang Yuan picked it up and saw a message from Beef Meatball.

"Fang Yuan, you're done for. Li Weilian knows you treated Han Youwei to lunch. I infiltrated Class One's group chat with an alt and took a screenshot. I'm risking my life to send this to you. Brother, this is all I can do for you."

The message also included a screenshot of Class One's group chat. Judging by its contents, Li Weilian really did look ready to explode.

Fang Yuan watched his Rage Points for a while.

He didn't see any large increases.

It seemed Li Weilian wasn't nearby. What a waste of a huge haul of Rage Points.

To absorb Rage Points, the person had to be within his field of vision.

By the time Fang Yuan finished his claypot rice, Han Youwei was only halfway through hers.

"No rush. Take your time."

Fang Yuan took a toothpick and leaned back in his chair, picking his teeth in a thoroughly relaxed manner.

Han Youwei ate small spoonfuls of rice. Even the way she ate looked lovely.

It wasn't that she looked particularly elegant, but it simply felt as though that was how she ought to eat. It wouldn't have felt the same with anyone else.

Ding-dong...

A message arrived on Han Youwei's phone. She took it out, looked at it, then stood up and said, "I'm going out to pick something up."

With that, she hurried out of the cafeteria.

Then the onlookers began posting updates in their class group chats.

"Han Youwei ran off without even finishing her meal. Fang Yuan picking his teeth must have scared her away."

"That's what they call a toad lusting after swan meat, only his toad-like appearance scared her off."

"Now that makes sense. How could Goddess Youwei possibly eat with Fang Yuan? Fang Yuan must have forced her with violence."

"Forced her with violence? Are you serious? With Fang Yuan's martial arts grades, how many clones of him would it take to beat Han Youwei?"

Not long after Han Youwei ran out, she returned carrying a paper bag.

She set the paper bag in front of Fang Yuan, then sat back down and continued eating.

When the onlookers saw the exquisite paper bag, they began imagining things again and spreading "rumors" in their class group chats and on Moments.

"Han Youwei didn't leave. She came back after half a minute, and she even brought Fang Yuan a present."

"He treats her to one meal and gets a present? What kind of move is that? Is the goddess really that easy to woo? If even Fang Yuan can succeed, then if I'd made my move earlier, wouldn't I..."

"Then Li Weilian would have thrown you off the roof."

Fang Yuan took the Star Power storage device out of the paper bag and fiddled with it.

The Star Power storage device looked like a wristwatch.

In fact, the technology behind this kind of Star Power storage device wasn't mature yet. It was still in the laboratory stage and hadn't entered mass production.

So, for now, money couldn't buy one.

Still, hardly anyone needed to buy such a thing.

That was because a Star Power storage device served essentially the same purpose as a Star Power battery.

Awakeners stored their Star Power in a Star Power battery and retrieved it when they needed it.

In gaming terms, a Star Power battery was a rechargeable mana potion that restored a certain amount of Star Power when used.

It effectively increased an Awakener's Star Power capacity.

Although Star Power storage devices and Star Power batteries seemed to serve similar purposes, there was still a difference.

The Star Power stored in a Star Power battery was Star Power in its most basic state.

A Star Power storage device, on the other hand, stored Star Power that had been transformed by a Superpower Trait.

To put it simply.

A Star Power battery stored Star Power.

A Star Power storage device stored Star Power imbued with an ability.

Most Awakeners didn't need to store abilities, so the two served exactly the same purpose for them.

However, a Star Power storage device required far more advanced Star Power technology than a Star Power battery.

As a result, manufacturing a Star Power storage device cost dozens or even hundreds of times as much as manufacturing a Star Power battery.

Two things that served the same purpose, yet their costs differed by over a hundredfold.

This left Star Power storage devices with practically no prospect of commercial production.

A Star Power storage device was of little use to other Awakeners.

But for Fang Yuan, it was different.

Ever since Fang Yuan had absorbed the Star Slot Trait "Superpower Mimicry," he had been troubled by a problem.

The ability "Superpower Mimicry" was unquestionably a godly skill.

But it had one limitation.

It could only copy one ability. To copy a new ability, he had to give up the previous one.

In other words.

If Fang Yuan wanted to copy Han Youwei's ability to play around with it, he would have to give up his current "Advanced Agility Enhancement."

But after giving up "Advanced Agility Enhancement," if he wanted it back, he would have to find an Awakener with "Advanced Agility Enhancement" and copy it.

Powerful abilities, however, weren't something he could encounter whenever he wanted.

So Fang Yuan had been thinking that it would be perfect if he could save the abilities he copied.

Then he remembered the Star Power storage device Han Youwei had brought to school the previous semester.

Now that Star Power storage device was in Fang Yuan's hands.

However, he hadn't tried it yet, so he didn't know whether "Superpower Mimicry" could copy abilities through a Star Power storage device.
