Chapter 41: Return

Chapter 41: Return

He Ying paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Although I haven't been on the moon, I can probably imagine the feeling."

"Your strength is pretty good too," Chen Mu added.

"I've been exercising since I was young. Haven't you heard Xiao Yan say that I'm the sports committee member? I've won awards in many events during sports competitions."

After becoming a bit more familiar, He Ying clearly became more cheerful.

It wasn't common for girls to become sports committee members, so it seemed that He Ying indeed had some talent in sports. Chen Mu thought it through from beginning to end and finally understood.

Though the body became lighter, and it effectively increased agility, not everyone could master it effectively in a short time. Just look at the astronauts walking clumsily on the moon; apart from the heaviness of their equipment, the biggest reason was their lack of adaptation.

Despite the obvious benefits of superpowers, in most cases, it still required sufficient training and innate talent from the superpowered individuals themselves.

Chen Mu was a good example.

When he initially gained his ability, he was extremely frustrated because, in his eyes, his superpower only allowed him to turn a square into a circle or an ellipse, and even Peppa Pig's shape ended up warped and crooked. He couldn't figure out what he could really do with it.

However, at that time, everyone overlooked one crucial aspect.

That was growth potential.

The type of superpower itself was undoubtedly important, but mental strength and mastery were likely even more critical than the type of superpower.

The former determined the upper limit of the ability, while the latter determined its practical application.

On the first day, Chen Mu obviously couldn't defeat Wei Dalei, but just a few days later, if they were to fight to the death, he would have at least half the confidence to win.

The unexpected spear stab alone could claim the lives of most people.

And today, the feat of turning an iron rod into a "chain" during the battle was another masterpiece that came to him in a flash of inspiration.

Now, it seemed to be very effective.

Even an agile superpowered individual like He Ying found it difficult to dodge.

"Therefore, your own strength and balance ability helped you grasp the acquired powers more quickly," Chen Mu analyzed.

"That's right," He Ying nodded in agreement.

"By the way, both you and Sun Yuan have a lot of courage. If there were any danger, you could still run away, but that guy would be finished, right?"

"Well, there's really no other way. We all need to eat. Instead of being stuck in one place and dying, it's better to take a risk. Sun Yuan's enhanced hearing has actually been a great help. In some areas with limited visibility, he can even hear the sounds of crawling creatures, which has saved us from many dangers."

"That's truly impressive," Chen Mu praised and then whispered, "But why does he speak so... politely?"

"Well, maybe he had some frightening experiences before. I only met him three days ago when he was hiding in a soda can, refusing to come out no matter what. It took some effort to convince him that I wasn't a bad person, and then he started following me. Despite being timid, he's actually a good guy. He gets scared and trembles, but the next day, he's willing to come along again."

"He's an interesting character."

He Ying didn't directly help Wei Dalei drag the bag; instead, she ran ahead to clear away larger rocks in advance.

Among the five, it turned out that Zhao Xiaoyan had the easiest time.

Her only role was to walk beside Wei Dalei and chat with him, filling him with strength.

A group of five people.

After the sun had fully risen, they finally returned to the storage room.

One day and one night had passed.

Even Chen Mu was starting to miss this makeshift home a little.

They arrived at the gap under the door.

Obviously, the instant noodle bags couldn't be directly stuffed in; they had to take out the contents first and then drag them in one by one.

Zhao Xiaoyan had already crawled in ahead and called for help.

Soon after, Qian Fei and the others came out one by one, and upon seeing Wei Dalei dragging such a big bag, they were overjoyed.

"Instant noodles? Chen Mu, you guys are really resourceful. Oh, two more people?"

Chang Junyan immediately recognized, "He Ying?"

"Hello, everyone," He Ying greeted them.

"Wow, how did you guys meet?" Du Jiajia apparently knew He Ying too.

"He Ying?"

"Dong Junwei? Tang Jing? It's so great to see you."

After all the members came out, Chen Mu realized that he and Wei Dalei were indeed too uninformed.

He Ying's reputation in school was even higher than he had imagined.

Tang Jing glanced at Chen Mu and then at He Ying, and then smiled warmly, "Welcome, welcome."
