Chapter 1: Awakening and Ability
The river gently lapped against the pillars of the hut. Li Su opened his eyes and looked blankly at the ceiling in front of him.
"What about the ceiling I don't recognize......"
After saying one of the fifty lines he wanted to say the most, Li Su began to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and his last memory was the torrent of water rushing to himself.
He sat up and found himself in a wooden-framed room with only a bed and a bedside table with half a glass of water on it. Next to the bed was the window, and he turned his head to look out, and the vast river appeared in front of him.
"So, I didn't die after falling into the water, and then I got fished up?" Li Su muttered to himself.
Footsteps came to mind outside the door, and it seemed that someone had heard something in the room. The bed beneath him didn't seem to be very secure, and it made a loud noise when he got up.
The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man stood outside. As he grew older, his body was a little out of shape, and he had a slightly protruding beer belly and thick limbs. He seemed very happy when he saw Li Su get up, and smiled like a brilliant chrysanthemum.
"I'll just say it! Little brother, you are blessed with a great life! Definitely wake up! He walked to Li Su's bedside, removed the water cup and sat directly on the bedside table, a strong fishy smell came from his body, and before he could speak, he said to himself: "Little brother, you don't know, I was fishing on the boat at the time, and I saw you floating down from the upstream naked." Living people floating naked in this Yangtze River are also a big surprise! ”
"Wait, wait, what are you talking about?" Li Su felt that he had heard something amazing. "Naked? Are you sure? ”
"It's a wordy, don't you know that I was frightened at the time, and I was still thinking about which baby couldn't think of it at such a young age?" The man sighed. "O lad! Life is hard! I know it too! But ......"
"No, uncle", Li Su hurriedly interrupted the other party's mental health education. "I fell into the water because of an accident, it's not that I can't think about it."
"Then why are you naked?"
“....... I don't know. ”
After a long time of explanation, the middle-aged man finally believed that he was not looking for a short-term opinion, and Li Su probably knew what was going on in him. He was spotted by this middle-aged man who was fishing and was floating down the river, so he scooped him up. There is still a breath of air to discover. After asking the doctor to see him, he only said that he was weak, or that a couple of the family had fed him fish soup little by little for a few days, so that he would not starve to death.
"Thank you, uncle." Li Su thanked him from the bottom of his heart, he knew that if it wasn't for the other party to take care of him, he would probably really return to the West.
"No," the other man waved his hand. "You can't watch a big living person die in front of you, can you? You have to thank my wife, if she hadn't taken out the ancestral secret recipe for a few days to boil the soul soup for you to drink, you might not have woken up. ”
After chatting for a while, the man stood up and walked outside. "Since you're awake, it's fine, your body is still a little weak, so continue to sleep, and remember to come out to eat at night." After hearing Li Su's response, he walked out and closed the door.
Li Su calmed down, and now there were some other things occupying his mind, and he felt that something was more than something in his body.
The extra thing was not as abrupt as some implant, but it made him feel extraordinarily harmonious. He couldn't describe the form of these two things, not clumps or fragments, but more like a part of himself, like a kind of ....... Ability. He felt that he could control them as naturally as he could control his own hands.
Taking a deep breath, Li Su tried to use the first ability.
Sharp pain instantly came from all four limbs, like countless ants gnawing at his bones, which made him let out a low roar of pain. He controlled himself and turned off the ability, and the pain passed like a tidal wave. But the afterglow was still there, and he lay on the bed twitching slightly, sweating like rain.
Li Su was not going to use the first ability anymore, and even with the second ability made him hesitate a little. This pain is definitely not going to be eaten again. In the end, he gritted his teeth and triggered his second ability.
A bit unexpected. He felt not a sharp pain, but a huge message. From the tide beating on the pillars of the hut to the birds resting on the roofs arranging their wings, everything in a ball centered on him was clearly reflected in his heart, like a king patrolling his domain.
No, not only perception. Li Su looked at the cup in front of him. This ceramic mug is a bargain on the stall, the kind of twenty-one dozen. His mind moved, and the cup floated into his hand in obedience. He drank the water from the cup, then spread his palms and continued to levitate it with his own power. Suddenly, the cup shrank. The ceramic cup was unnaturally soft as plasticine, as if it had been crumpled by an invisible hand. As soon as he slid his hand, the mass of ceramics fell apart and fell on the quilt like fallen water. He tried to reach out and touch it, but it was still cold, and the ceramics were no different from ordinary ceramics except for their softness.
"Awesome." Li Su muttered.
He "pinched" the cup back to its original shape and continued to test his abilities. Half an hour later, he had probably figured out his limits.
This ability should allow him to fully perceive and control a ball with a radius of 10 meters with himself as the center of the ball. There is no way to measure the speed of manipulation, but I know that it will be soon. Matter can be manipulated down to the molecular level. It can easily synthesize various substances in its own field, and can also reduce various compounds to elemental substances, but it cannot be created out of thin air.
It's not that the realm can't get bigger, it's just that the control will be weaker, and the limit is about fifty meters, but at this distance, I can't even hold a handful of water.
In other words, I have superpowers?
I have fantasized countless times about what I will do when I have superpowers, but now when I really hold this power in my hands, I am a little at a loss, and I don't know what to do.
By the time the test was completed, it was almost dark. Li remembered the middle-aged man's instructions, threw away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, got up and walked out of the door.
