Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Chapter 101: 95. Greed Superpower



Shapudian.

Yang Fan left the spatial rift and arrived near the Jin Kongque people's base.

"Chirp!"

A bird's cry was heard.

The Falcon flew over.

The Soul Stealing Wisp also returned.

During this period, the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake had killed three superpower users in succession.

The entire base was made uneasy by it.

The Soul Stealing Wisp extracted 6.1 Spiritual Source Value, along with three different superpowers.

Namely—Stacked Force, Greed, Warrior.

Yang Fan's gaze locked onto the "Greed" superpower: "This superpower seems pretty useful!"

Greed: Not activated, Low Grade Physical Superpower, requires 3.5 Spiritual Source Value to activate.

As the name suggests, it is a superpower that can greatly enhance digestive ability.

The Jin Kongque superpower user who awakened this superpower was indeed a heavyweight figure weighing over two hundred pounds.

Xiaoqing bit the opponent, and not only was there little problem, but the venom was partially digested by him.

Luckily, the Falcon timely delivered a blow, piercing his skull with its beak, killing this superpower user.

According to the Soul Stealing Wisp's explanation.

Although the combat power of the Greed superpower is relatively weak, it has long-term effects in terms of increasing physical Value.

Other superpower users need to train to increase physical Value.

While the Greed superpower just requires continuous eating.

"Activate Greed!"

Yang Fan decisively recited.

"Buzz!"

The Soul Stealing Wisp trembled.

A familiar heat wave surged again.

He felt as if his whole body was soaking in a hot spring.

The feeling in his stomach was quite unique, as if a large flame was burning within.

A few seconds later.

The abnormal state subsided.

Yang Fan routinely checked his attributes again.

Physical Value and Spirit Value each increased by 1 point and 0.2 points, reaching new highs of 20.2 points and 23.8 points respectively.

However, he wasn't too pleased: "3.5 points of Spiritual Source Value just for 1.2 points of attributes, that's a bit too little."

"Grumble~"

His stomach rumbled unexpectedly.

Yang Fan was preparing to eat when the corner of his eye saw the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake and an inexplicable thought popped into his mind.

"Stewing this Bamboo Leaf Green snake, swallowing it whole with skin and bones, might taste quite good."

Yang Fan turned to stare at the Bamboo Leaf Green, somewhat shocked.

What on earth!

Why would I think like this?

Xiaoqing instinctively felt uneasy and quickly slithered behind a rock to hide.

Yang Fan patted his stomach, pondering: "Is this a side effect of the Greed superpower?"

He turned his head to look at a tree.

Sure enough.

The strange thought emerged again: "It's best to boil the bark before eating, and the wood inside can be directly chewed, though the taste isn't great."

Yang Fan's mouth twitched.

I definitely won't chew on trees!

He then lowered his head to stare at several weeds, his expression becoming more subtle.

The strange thought reappeared: "They're relatively fresh and juicy, the taste might be a bit better."

Yang Fan's gaze shifted to the soil below the weeds.

The thought followed: "This stuff doesn't taste good, nor is it nutritious, but when desperate, it can be eaten to fill the stomach."

Yang Fan couldn't help but mutter: "What kind of bizarre superpower is this?"

He thought "eating dirt out of poverty" was just a joke on the internet.

He truly hadn't anticipated that with the arrival of the Superpower Era, eating dirt out of poverty would become a reality.

Yang Fan tried hard to gather his spirit, continually reciting in his heart: "Don't think randomly, don't think randomly..."

After some time.

He looked at another tree.

The strange thought didn't appear again.

Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "If everything looks like food, how will life continue?"

He took out a piece of braised pig's trotter from the Space Pearl and took a big bite.

Previously, he would discard the bones when gnawing pig's trotters.

Now, without thinking, he bit into the bone.

"Crack!"

The surface of the bone had a few clear teeth marks.

Yang Fan then realized, staring at the marks, muttering to himself: "I seem to be getting more and more abnormal."

Soon.

He experienced the unusual nature of the Greed superpower.

As the food entered the stomach, threads of heat spread and expanded to his limbs.

Yang Fan carefully sensed it, secretly nodding: "The digestion speed has greatly improved, and the utilization rate of food seems higher."

After devouring about ten pounds of meat.

He suddenly had a feeling and checked his attributes again.

[Attributes]

Physical Value: 20.3

Spirit Value: 23.8

Compared to before, physical Value had increased by 0.1 points.

Yang Fan was stunned: "Isn't this too fast?!"

This was clearly the effect of Greed.

The quick effectiveness of the superpower was truly delightful.

A minute later.

Yang Fan stopped eating: "I can't eat anymore."

He felt he could keep eating day and night.

But reason told him this isn't a good thing.

Yang Fan connected the Mind Link, accessing the Falcon's view.

The Jin Kongque people's base immediately came into view.

The relatively small airport tarmac had transport and fighter jets parked.

Soldiers in simple mosquito-proof uniforms patrolled the airport perimeter.

The moment Yang Fan saw soldiers, the thought uncontrollably emerged: "Ah, so plump and juicy!"

He couldn't hold it back anymore: "Damn, I'm not a freak!"

Ten minutes later.

Yang Fan "introspected" his mind and "saw" a picture.

He saw a Star Mark, projecting a mysterious starlight, shining upon a pale red "stomach".

The latter is the embodiment of Greed.

Yang Fan exited the introspection state, turned his head to look around, observing his surroundings.

This time, no strange thoughts popped up in his mind.

Clearly.

The magical power of the Star Mark had controlled the Greed superpower.

Yang Fan mused, "It seems that superpowers are not absolutely safe, and some of them have the risk of losing control.

"Humans should be the masters of superpowers and not be controlled by them.

"The Jin Kongque person who awakened the Greed superpower is most likely showing signs of losing control.

"If he wasn't killed by the Falcon, he would definitely become a creature driven entirely by hunger.

"At that time, he would completely lose his sanity, grabbing people to eat, becoming a bloodthirsty monster."

Yang Fan immediately realized more: "My spiritual power must be stronger to timely detect danger.

"It seems that physical and spirit should advance together without neglecting either, to maximize the avoidance of superpower loss of control."

At this moment.

"Woo~"

A whistling sound descended from the sky.

Yang Fan looked up at the sound, instantly seeing four fighter jets fly toward him in formation.

By the glow of the setting sun, and his keen sight, he clearly saw a Sword Flower Flag painted on the belly of the jets.

These were Carmenians' fighter jets.

Yang Fan squinted his eyes: "How did the Jin Kongque people get mixed up with the Carmenians?"

He thought about it and found it not surprising.

Carmenians were the number one troublemakers on Canglan Star, and it would be strange if they didn't come over given the huge commotion in Shapudian.

He had already received news from the military that four Jin Kongque fighter jets were unfortunately "misfired upon".

The Jin Kongque people couldn't withstand the pressure from Great Xia and pulled in the Carmenians, which was clearly their strategy.

Yang Fan snorted, "It's good that the Carmenians have come too; I will trap you all together."

*

In the airport.

Four Carmenians' fighter jets landed one after another.

The Jin Kongque ground staff, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly moved the boarding ladders over.

The Carmenians' pilot opened the cockpit cover and climbed down the ladder.

The leading pilot introduced himself: "I am Pedro, ordered to come support."

A Jin Kongque officer enthusiastically greeted, "Major Pedro, I am Ajarye, welcome to your arrival!"

Pedro shook the other person's hand, "I am glad to fight alongside your country against the evil Great Xia people."

Ajarye agreed deeply, "Great Xia is the greatest destabilizing factor on the entire Canglan Star.

"Their blatant invasion of Shapudian poses a serious threat to other countries on the East Continent."

Ajarye paused and continued, "You all must be starving after such a long flight, the officers' mess is just over there."

Pedro laughed, "Indeed, we are hungry, hoping to taste your country's specialty dishes..."

Before he could finish speaking.

A sudden scream rang out.

"Bang! Bang!"

Gunshots followed promptly.

Everyone was startled and turned their heads to look over.

A dark figure, about the size of a dog, was rapidly rushing towards them.

Pedro was a bit dumbfounded, not knowing what exactly was happening.

This guy served in the Carmenians' navy, having heard of mutated creatures but rarely encountering them.

However, Ajarye's face changed drastically, "Major, that's a mutated creature, we need to leave here quickly."

But it was too late.

The shadow suddenly leaped, passing over more than twenty meters, and pounced on Ajarye.

Pedro saw with his own eyes, this big cat-like creature swiped its paw across Ajarye's neck.

A head immediately flew off, blood spurted out like a fountain.

For an ordinary person, this scene was indeed too horrifying.

Pedro was filled with terror, nearly wetting his pants.

He instinctively turned to run to his close comrade, the A15 jet, intending to return to the cockpit.

Pedro only ran two steps before feeling a pain in his neck, then felt himself being lifted.

He involuntarily spun half a circle, seeing a headless body falling to the ground.

For some reason.

He found the body very familiar.

But Pedro didn't have time to think further, the darkness completely swallowed his consciousness.

"Boom!"

His head hit the ground, rolling several times, his eyes remained wide open.

The shadow continued its massacre, quickly killing several Carmenians.

Many of the Jin Kongque people who came to greet them were also bitten to death.

"Bang! Bang!"

Intense gunfire finally erupted.

This was a Jin Kongque officer organizing soldiers to open fire.

The shadow, realizing the unfavorable situation, quickly fled the airport, disappearing into a patch of forest.

Only a blood-stained tarmac remained on the apron.

*

In the distance.

Yang Fan fully witnessed the tragedy at the tarmac through the eyes of the Falcon.

He looked sympathetic, "Why are you Jin Kongque people so unlucky, always being attacked by mutated creatures?"

The Falcon's vision made a jump, starting to track the shadow that attacked the Carmenians.

This turned out to be that mutated leopard cat.

Yang Fan also saw a snake, entirely green, hiding on the leopard cat's body, its fangs biting the leopard cat's back.

He couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect Xiaoqing's neurotoxin could actually control a mutated creature."

The venom sac of this Bamboo Leaf Green Snake had mutated, synthesizing two different kinds of mutated toxins on both sides.

One was a rot toxin causing Morat to recklessly purge incessantly, leading to internal organ decay.

The other was a neurotoxin turning the mutated leopard cat into a puppet, creating havoc at the airport.

*

Half an hour later.

The external relations officer of the Jin Kongque Kingdom, Lahar, received a phone call from the Carmenians.

The other party aggressively questioned, "Can't your country even ensure the safety of a small airport?"

Lahar masterfully countered with his best skill, "Mr. Lewis, according to our investigation results, it was your country's jets hovering too long above the airport.

"Due to the loud engine noise of the jets, a nearby mutated creature was disturbed, triggering its attack."

The implication being—it's entirely your fault, Carmenians, nothing to do with us Jin Kongque.

Lewis was furious, "Your investigation is purely shirking responsibility; it is an outright slander against our military personnel."

Lahar replied righteously, "I must remind you, your previous statement is unfounded slander."

Lewis cursed "FxxK" sharply and rudely hung up the call.

Lahar looked at the darkened screen, his face calm, "It seems Mr. Lewis can't control his temper."

And he smiled, "I thought he was going to demand those four jets back from our country."

A secretary nearby interjected, "The Carmenians should know that anything falling into our country's hands is unlikely to be returned."
