The Life Origin, the Origin Energy formed by refining the essence of biological life in the Personal Space.
It sounds somewhat sinister, but this thing was extracted from the enemy after all. As someone who has lived two lives, Ling Yi didn't feel anything special about it.
Of course, Ling Yi wouldn't be foolish enough to tell Jiang Ran the true origin of this thing right now.
"What is this? Why do I feel..." Jiang Ran was immediately drawn to this Life Origin.
It wasn't that it was particularly beautiful, but rather that this thing had enormous benefits for the human body, so Jiang Ran instinctively wanted to take a bite.
"This is Evolution Origin Pearl, but that's not important. Just know that it's used to increase your strength, roughly equivalent to an experience bead in a game."
Ling Yi spoke, he ate one first.
Instantly, Ling Yi's face revealed an expression of utter enjoyment.
This stuff melts in your mouth; from a purely taste-bud perspective, it has no flavor whatsoever, yet it feels like an unparalleled delicacy. This kind of deliciousness can bring immense comfort to your mind and spirit.
Other sensations were not obvious, but my brain was noticeably clearer than before, and my Perception of my surroundings was much more acute. My vision, hearing, and Sense of Smell all seemed to have suddenly opened up all the cells...
We can see further, hear more clearly, and have a more sensitive Sense of Smell.
The range of the Personal Space has doubled, from a radius of five meters to... ten meters.
"Your expression... ugh!" Jiang Ran curled her lips in disdain; Ling Yi's expression was just too damn captivating.
"Here, have a taste!" Ling Yi snapped out of his daze and handed Jiang Ran a Life Origin.
Without thinking, Jiang Ran put it in her mouth!
Then... click click click!
When she came to her senses, she saw Ling Yi taking pictures of her with his phone.
Recalling Ling Yi's previous expression, she immediately realized something, and became furious and embarrassed, raising her foot to kick Ling Yi.
"Delete it right now!"
Ling Yi's figure vanished instantly, and the next moment, he reappeared ten meters away.
He laughed loudly, "Haha, I could laugh at that expression for the rest of my life."
" Ling Yi!" Jiang Ran was furious. How could girls have such unflattering photos taken of them? That was more important than their lives.
The two chased each other through the jungle. Ling Yi simply stopped using his Teleportation ability, and their running and fleeing had a flirtatious feel to it.
They finally stopped running when neither of them could run anymore.
"Here!" Ling Yi handed the phone to Jiang Ran. "Believe me, you'll be absolutely Shaking Heaven and Earth beautiful back then."
Jiang Ran didn't believe it, after all, Ling Yi's expression earlier was too suggestive.
But when Jiang Ran opened her phone and accessed the photo album, she was stunned.
The pinned photos are a few newly taken pictures; how to describe them? They have a Light Emission beauty.
Yes, Jiang Ran felt as if she was Light Emission in the photo, without the slightest hint of shyness, but rather appearing somewhat Divine.
But that wasn't all that stunned Jiang Ran; Ling Yi's phone album contained many photos of her.
Most of the photos are of her in profile; some show her studying, some show her taking notes with her head down, some show her flipping her hair, and some show her eating.
There are nearly a thousand photos of them running on the sports field, and the earliest batch of photos is from three years ago, when the two had just become deskmates.
"Peeping tom!" Jiang Ran said, but she was secretly moved. Had Ling Yi started paying attention to her three years ago? Did he like her?
It's the same as taking photos secretly, but being secretly photographed by someone you like is happiness.
But if it were someone else, Jiang Ran would definitely be incredibly stylish.
Even best friends won't do.
"Everyone has a love for beauty, and a graceful lady is the object of a gentleman's affections!"
Ling Yi did have feelings for Jiang Ran. Even though he had lived two lives, he still couldn't help but fall for this girl. However, compared to the others in the class, he was able to suppress these feelings and act more rationally.
"So, according to you, you'll like anything pretty?" Jiang Ran asked.
"Hmm? We should still appreciate it, but we won't pursue it."
"It's like when you spot a handsome guy, don't you take a second look?"
"This is sophistry."
After a pause, Jiang Ran's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said, "You must never let anyone else know about this Evolution Pearl. It's extremely valuable."
"My level jumped directly to level 6, and my Innate Talent has become at least 30% stronger."
"As far as I know, I've never heard of anything that can enhance Innate Talent."
Ling Yi nodded. "Don't worry, no one else is qualified to take it except you."
Just then, the two suddenly heard a scream, followed by a loud rumble.
The two exchanged a glance. "Let's go. There's a high chance this was caused by the Protagonist."
As Ling Yi spoke, he grabbed Jiang Ran's hand and Teleportation away in the direction the sound came from.
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived in front of a waterfall.
Just then, I saw a seven or eight-year-old boy with a flamboyant Matt style carrying a dead fish four or five times his own size as he walked out of the lake below the waterfall.
With his orange-red clothes, a red staff on his back, and a tail behind him, he looks so familiar... Without a doubt, this is Son Goku, the Protagonist of the Dragon Balls World!
Jiang Ran somewhat shocked. This little kid was incredibly strong. The fish looked to be at least four or five hundred pounds, yet the child carried it without any apparent effort.
She glanced at Ling Yi, and seeing Ling Yi nod slightly, she immediately understood that this was most likely the Protagonist Ling Yi had mentioned.
But how come the Protagonist is a mischievous little kid?
Seeing Jiang Ran and Ling Yi suddenly appear, Kid Goku was very curious. He had lived in this deep mountain Lin Zhong since he was a child and had almost never seen outsiders except for his grandfather.
However, Kid Goku sensed no malice from the two people in front of him, so he was simply curious.
"Are you the city people Grandpa was talking about?" Kid Goku asked curiously as he took a few steps closer, carrying the Big Fish.
"Is this your lunch?" Ling Yi looked at the Big Fish with shining eyes. As a chef, when he saw Supreme Pin ingredients, he almost instinctively thought of countless ways to cook them.
"Yes, would you like to eat together?" Kid Goku kindly invited.
Ling Yi wasn't surprised by Kid Goku's invitation, because he knew the man too well.
Jiang Ran inwardly scoffed, "Is this child really that naive? Isn't she afraid they're bad people?"
However, Jiang Ran didn't know what to do next, since so far, none of the ten Chosen World had triggered the story mission that Ling Yi had mentioned.
We can only watch Ling Yi's performance.
"You're planning to grill this fish, right?"
"Yes, this is the best-tasting fish here, but it's very difficult to catch. It took me Kung Fu Hustle morning to catch this one."
"If you trust me, how about I cook this fish?"
"Aren't fish usually grilled?" Kid Goku said, but still put the fish down.
"Haha, with ingredients of this caliber, I can make countless delicious dishes. Today, I'll truly show you what I'm capable of."
"Oh, by the way, my name is Ling Yi, and this is my wife, Jiang Ran."
Jiang Ran gave Ling Yi a playful glare.
"My name is Son Goku, please guide Duoduo!" Kid Goku said respectfully, bowing with his palms together.
"By the way, Brother Ling Yi, what is a wife?"
"A wife is someone who accompanies you throughout your life, a true family member."
Kid Goku didn't understand what a lover was, but he understood the meaning of family.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi conjured a bunch of things out of thin air in front of the three of them.
Dining table, chairs, sofa, cutting board, gas stove, kitchen utensils...
Kid Goku was startled, and the Golden-Hooped Rod immediately appeared in his hand. He shouted, "You are monsters!"
Without saying a word, he hurled the object at Ling Yi.
In the past, Ling Yi might have been more nervous, but now...
Ling Yi calmly raised his hand, opened his palm, and then effortlessly grasped the Golden-Hooped Rod.
Kid Goku tugged for a long time, but it didn't budge at all.
This wasn't because Ling Yi was incredibly strong, but Personal Space absorbed the potential energy of the Golden-Hooped Rod. It looked impressive, but for Ling Yi, it was as easy as lifting a feather.
"Why are you so impetuous, little guy?" Ling Yi frowned slightly. It was only because he had encountered someone with a cheat-like ability that he was able to get away with this. Otherwise, an ordinary person would have been killed instantly by this blow.
"These are tools commonly used by city people. If you don't know them, you can ask. You attacked someone without even asking. Is this how your grandfather taught you?"
"Also, didn't your grandfather tell you how strong you are? If it were an ordinary person, you would have killed them in one blow."
"I..."
Ling Yi's barrage of words left Kid Goku speechless. He realized his mistake, especially since Ling Yi kept saying "your grandpa said," which made Kid Goku feel even more guilty.
"You're still young, so I can forgive you, but you must remember one thing: don't judge others' character without proper investigation."
"There are many things you haven't seen before. Does that mean everything you haven't seen West City a monster?"
Ling Yi unleashed another barrage of attacks, completely demoralizing Kid Goku.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Kid Goku felt that Ling Yi's words made sense, and immediately admitted his mistake.
Jiang Ran, standing nearby, found it amusing. This was the first time he had seen this side of Ling Yi. His verbal sparring was full of holes and could only be used to fool children.
For example, why does Ling Yi Ling Yi mention his grandfather instead of his parents?
If it were someone else, they would immediately spot the flaws, but the naive Kid Goku wouldn't think that far ahead.
Next up is Ling Yi's food time.
Pan-fried fish, stewed fish, fish braised in a stone pot, grilled fish, fish with pickled cabbage, boiled fish, sashimi...
An enticing aroma filled the air around the lake.
Kid Goku was so attracted by the aroma that he jumped around like a Houzi, scratching his ears and cheeks.
Not to mention Kid Goku, even Jiang Ran couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.
"Why did you make so much rice?" Jiang Ran a little confused when she saw that Ling Yi had made enough rice for ten rice cookers.
You'll find out soon enough.
After saying that, Ling Yi clapped his hands and said to the two of them, "Let's eat!"
Watching Kid Goku devour most of the food in Jiang Ran Wind Sweeps Away the Clouds, Jiang Ran finally understood why Ling Yi had made so much rice.
"This guy is a monster!"
