Superpowers, Just Ordinary

Chapter 41 Superpowers, Just Ordinary

The food in the cafeteria isn't cheap, but it's definitely not expensive either.

It sounds like a load of nonsense, but after experiencing it, Zhu Suihan realized that it made perfect sense.

Both the ingredients and the taste are top-notch, though not the absolute best.

In short, it was much better than the restaurant in Manjin City last time.

Compared to the cost of the materials themselves plus the labor costs, the final price given to the students is indeed quite low.

As long as Chenglong is happy with the food, that's all that matters. Even if Zhu Suihan doesn't like the taste, he can always eat energy cubes.

Or perhaps he can only make energy blocks right now, and he doesn't have any money. If he had money, he could make them himself.

"What are you looking at?"

After swallowing a mouthful of noodle soup, Zhu Suihan calmly glanced at Mu Guaili, who was wearing an apron and holding a rice spoon.

If you scoop that up, you'd probably turn even a stone to powder, provided the spoon is made of high-quality material.

"I've been eating for so long, I really don't waste any food, can't you tell?"

Guai Li scratched his head and patted Zhu Suihan's head with his other hand.

Very good, I approve of your appetite!

Of all the students I've ever met, I would call you the strongest!

What cook wouldn't love a customer who's enjoying a delicious meal, unless the customer arrives just one minute before they're about to leave work?

But as a shift-based cafeteria, Guai Li doesn't care about any of that.

They eat without wasting food and enjoy their meals immensely; Guai Li would love to have more guests like that.

It's ignited, my culinary soul is burning!

"A chef with superhuman strength? That's amazing!"

To be honest, though, the strength of the monster is already formidable enough. Cooking can also help train its fine motor skills. It would be no problem to embroider while wielding a spiked club.

A falling tile might leave no visible damage, but the internal injuries could be severe.

Chenglong was also eating heartily with her head down. Zhu Suihan wiped the scallions off the corner of her mouth. It has to be said that this guy's appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

Secondary development? Uncle Liu didn't mention this to me.

After the meal, Zhu Suihan's quick swipe of the swipe card earned Guai Li a thumbs-up, making him feel that his future performance was secure.

Just a few steps outside the cafeteria is a large lake, or rather, all the buildings are built around this lake.

Zhu Suihan also saw some people taking shortcuts by riding on their own water-based companions, which should not violate school rules.

"When fighting for food after school, having a Water-type Pokémon gives you a terrain advantage."

After Chenglong repeatedly assured him that he wouldn't do anything reckless, Zhu Suihan boarded the other's shell and slowly drifted along the water towards the accommodation area.

Tomorrow's exam will be a matter of taking it as it comes; if all else fails, I'll just pull out my cheat code and add points on the spot.

The species diversity is truly remarkable.

He saw ducklings and glowfish, which were not from Johto, and there was a whole group of them.

"Gala!"

The water beside them exploded with a loud bang, and a blue figure shot out from it, flying into the sky and roaring at the Pidgeot and Staraptor that were passing by.

"Gyarados? What's going on?"

You're not going to try and outrun those two big shots, are you?

Of course, it's also possible that they were brought down with justice by these flying-class seniors.

But shouldn't this kind of thing be the work of the Raven Leader and the Dark Raven?

Okay, this idea is somewhat biased towards certain attributes.

Zhu Suihan took a sip of soda. While in the cafeteria, he bought some bread, drinks, and snacks to replenish his energy anytime, anywhere.

"Gala?"

Gyarados lowered its head. Lapras wasn't anything special; it was like it had seen them before.

But then he saw a white-haired fellow, someone he had never seen before.

Why are you looking at me?

Zhu Suihan looked up and waved his hand. Since this Gyarados could live in the lake, it meant that it could freely control the "Heart of Wrath" within him.

In terms of attributes after super evolution, it might be the kind of evil energy hidden in one's bloodline.

So it's very safe.

Gyarados flew over and sized up Zhu Suihan, tilting its head as if it were a muscular, scarred man deliberately trying to be cute.

"You're not asking for tolls, are you?"

Zhu Suihan flicked an energy cube, which landed right on Gyarados's thick lips, much like those big shots who can hold a cup of milk tea against their chests.

"Gala."

She's not afraid of him?

Gyarados ate the Energy Cube, nodded at Zhu Suihan, and felt the joy of being fed, increasing its affection level twice.

Don't be afraid of him, he even gave you food, what a kind person!

"goodbye."

Bamboo Frost slowly drifted away, leaving Gyarados pondering its brainwaves but unable to figure out what was going on.

A stranger should be someone who makes my legs tremble with fear when I meet them, right?

It's one thing for people to be afraid of him, but what about that dragon? It's not even afraid of him?

If Longlong knew what Gyarados was thinking, he might even make a sarcastic remark.

You've only just begun. Do you want me to take you back to your hometown to broaden your horizons?

No, maybe there's no need to go back to his hometown. Zhu Suihan could just use a Sticky Ball to subdue this Gyarados.

"Gyarados, there used to be one flying in the sky. It took me a lot of effort to catch it the first time I timed it."

And that damn equipment drop system—I suffered a lot of frustration with it back when I was poor and destitute.

After experiencing Arceus's "losing equipment when unconscious" mechanic in an online game for the first time, Zhu Suihan could only say that his heart was bleeding.

As for the gift of bamboo from Beishang, I haven't tried it, or rather, I find it too troublesome.

The Chenglong ship docked at the shore. Zhu Suihan stretched his shoulders, went inside to take a shower, and prepared to get a good night's sleep for tomorrow's exam.

“Wuwu!”

Zhu Suihan was still drying her hair when Chenglong barged into the bathroom, with Zhu Suihan's phone in his mouth.

"Which deity is calling me now?"

Zhu Suihan stopped what she was doing and took the phone: "Feed?"

"Do you want that module?"

"Naza?"

Zhu Suihan was somewhat surprised: "Superpower Module, you're asking me if I want it?"

"Yes, after actually seeing how the super-powered modules are made, I have some new ideas."

A pinkish-purple decoy module floated above Naza's palm, its outer shell faintly glowing with a jade-like light.

"If a powerful superhuman could inject superpowers into it, the effect would be even better."

"For Psychic Apprentices, carrying this module not only allows Psychic-type Pokémon to get closer to them, but also speeds up the process of learning Psychic abilities."

So humans are some kind of Pokémon, huh? Lure Modules work on humans too?!

Zhu Suihan asked, "So when you asked me if I wanted it, you meant you had some extra?"

"I'm organizing an event here and I was wondering if you'd like to come."

Sabrina said, "Just like your Bug/Flying type decoy module, I plan to contact psychics in various places and have an internal exchange."

"Don't worry, with my reputation in the industry, doing this will be a piece of cake."

Zhu Suihan was baffled: "What does this have to do with me? I've already sold it to you."

"No, in my opinion, the decoy module is now more helpful to superpowered individuals and apprentices, so the amount I gave you was less."

Natsume stated bluntly, "Whether you come to the event or not, no matter how bad your talent is, with my help and the help of a few others, we can still give you a decent superpower."

Bamboo Suihan:

Could the others be that legal loli from the Unova faction? If they could find an outlet for her emotions, it would certainly be a great help to Cattleya.

But that change of heart just now was interesting.

There's a persistent feeling that this family would fall apart without Hudi, so the PR staff should kowtow to Hudi.

With such an old monster as the minister, he's definitely more reliable than Natsumi!

"No, I'm not interested in superpowers."

Are you kidding me? I'm already an invincible human Galio, and you, Sabrina, aren't one of the Three Musketeers, so it's unlikely you can help me awaken superpowers.

Alakazam: !!

Oh no, something terrible has happened!

A smile that seemed to say, "You've caught my attention, man," gradually appeared on Naz's face.

This kind of smile usually appears on the face of someone holding a knife who is about to stab you.

"Let me confirm again, you have absolutely no interest in superpowers?"

"Superpowers aren't anything particularly rare, so why don't you just help me awaken the power of Eternal Moon?"

Sabrina's smile froze: "You know about the Power of Everlasting Rock?"

Is it that strange?

Hu Di breathed a sigh of relief, as the topic calmed Naz's emotional turmoil.

"To be honest, while the power of Tokiwa is somewhat dependent on the individual, it is not limited by talent, but superpowers are different."

Zhu Suihan held her phone in one hand and poured juice for Chenglong with the other.

"In essence, there is not much difference between superpowers and aura, and both depend a lot on talent."

Judging talent and judging character are two completely different things.

Naza asked, "You know quite a lot. Are you perhaps one of us?"

"No, I'm just an illiterate person who hasn't even officially started school yet."

Zhu Suihan smiled and said, "The money and goods are settled, and you don't owe me anything. I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need this kind of power. Thank you."

"I'm not saying anything more. I'll probably have to get up early tomorrow to eat at the cafeteria. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Alakazam took the phone from Sabrina and glanced at it. Fortunately, he hadn't been overwhelmed by his superpowers and his emotions remained relatively stable.

"Not interested in superpowers?"

Sabrina glanced at Alakazam: "It seems our method isn't working, but I didn't expect it to be because this method isn't working."

Alakazam tried to satisfy Sabrina's curiosity as much as possible, and since the Psychic Module did have unexpected benefits, they came up with this idea.

Hu Di had already prepared a draft, or rather, a script, so no matter what reason Zhu Suihan used to refuse, Hu Di had prepared ample reasons to refute it, along with temptations.

But I never expected it to be such a killer reason; the person simply said they weren't interested in superpowers.

"The newly enrolled researcher is named Zhu Suihan, the White-haired One."

Well, it's obvious that you can find someone like that if you want to.

Superpowers are not a rare ability.

Naz looked somewhat confused, and also somewhat resentful.

As someone who can use her superpowers to turn people into dolls, Sabrina has always been very proud of her power, even to the point of being somewhat indulgent.

However, she couldn't let loose in front of Giovanni, because his Tokiwa Power was even more exaggerated than her superpowers, almost at the level of a perpetual motion machine.

"He seems to think that people with special abilities are no different from everyone else."
