Four Steps

7:30 p.m.

In the room, Xiao Jun sat cross-legged alone at the head of the bed.

A thousand Second Order Variant Crystals were placed around him, turning the entire room into a light green color.

"Damn it, I don't even know why they had to make these things green."

Seeing his whole body illuminated in green, Xiao Jun couldn't help but complain.

Advancing from Third Order to Fourth Order, this was Xiao Jun's first time in two lifetimes, so he had to be cautious.

The others on the second floor also knew the importance of this matter. They all sat in the living room, more nervous than Xiao Jun was for his own advancement.

Xiao Jun took a deep breath and began swallowing the Variant Crystals.

Each Variant Crystal that entered his mouth brought a faint warm current to his body.

This was also because Xiao Jun's physique was already so strong that the effects of the Second Order Variant Crystals were no longer significant for him.

But bit by bit it stacked up. If the quality was not enough, then quantity had to make up for it.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred Second Order Variant Crystals had disappeared.

Xiao Jun could also feel the warm currents in his body increasing, but it still wasn't enough.

Keep going!

Seven hundred.

His body felt a little itchy, somewhat similar to the sensations during his previous advancements.

Eight hundred.

Something different happened. His head suddenly hurt a little, which was something Xiao Jun had never experienced during previous advancements.

Nine hundred.

The headache intensified somewhat, and his body also felt some pain, but compared to the pain in his head it was negligible.

Xiao Jun suddenly realized that this feeling was exactly the same as when his Superpower Talent first manifested.

One thousand.

Xiao Jun couldn't help but roar loudly.

Having had the experience once before, this time he didn't faint, but forced himself to endure it.

"Damn it, is this side effect because I didn't have an inborn Superpower Talent?"

He recalled how casual Wan Qianya and the other two were when they awakened their Superpower Talents, just having a little glow around their heads and that was it.

Then look at himself, it was simply torture.

"Is Brother Jun okay?"

His sister Jing Yi asked worriedly.

In the living room, everyone had heard Xiao Jun's voice. He sounded like he was in great pain.

"He'll be fine."

Jiang Yue just nodded slightly, glancing over briefly before continuing to read her high-tech comic book.

These comics were so interesting, with tens of thousands of chapters in each book, the best choice for passing time.

Though what did the (Up) on this one mean? Don't tell me I have to find the (Down) volume to continue reading?

She was really worried, what if there was also a (Middle) volume? That would be terribly troublesome.

Jiang Yue was quite vexed. If she couldn't find the other volumes, would she be able to trade with someone for them?

In the room, Xiao Jun had reached the final step.

One thousand Second Order Variant Crystals.

It felt like some shackles in his body had been opened, and he was filled with strength.

His mind was also exceptionally clear, and the pain was slowly fading away.

Sitting on the bed, Xiao Jun casually gestured, sensing the new power he had obtained.

With his current self, one punch could probably kill three of his past selves. If he encountered a Third-order zombie now, it wouldn't even have the right to kiss his ass.

After calming himself down again, he prepared to explore his Superpower Talent. A sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Superpower Talent upgraded successfully."

"Instant Movement. In a radius of 100 meters around himself, he can instantly reach any location, ignoring obstacles, and can bring one person."

"Can be used three times per day."

Xiao Jun was very satisfied.

The description of this Superpower Talent was finally reliable.

Not like the previous level's description, Eyesight Projection? It almost made him think he could fly up to the sky and rub shoulders with the sun.

One look and you could tell the one who wrote that manual was a elementary schooler.

This one was much better, clearly written by someone who at least finished compulsory education.

The upgraded skill also became much more practical.

Ignoring obstacles meant he could instantly teleport from outside a room right into the inside. It was practically a skill specialized for peeping, no wait, for rescuing people from rooms.

Able to bring one person, this was perfectly matched to the previous trait.

Teleport into a room, see a beauty bathing, then bring her out with him instantly. Very perfect.

It was just that the skill could only be used three times per day, which was a little lacking.

......

In the living room.

Jiang Yue was still reading her comic book, even the casual page turning exuded intellect and elegance.

Li Jingyin was polishing her knife. In her hurry today she had thrown it away, she couldn't do that again next time. She should just store it in her space.

Wan Qianya was making coffee. They would be up all night fighting later, so she needed something to stimulate and wake up her mind.

The older twin sister was applying facial masks, and urged her younger sister and Jiang Doctor to put them on together.

Her words were quite suggestive.

"Sis, don't look at how we're all young and beautiful now. But who in this room isn't young and beautiful?"

"Oh, Jiang Doctor isn't. She's 26 already."

Seemingly feeling some killing intent, Jing Ru quickly took out another facial mask and urged Jiang Doctor to put it on together.

"Jiang Doctor, think about it. Sooner or later you'll be sleeping in the Commander's bed. Put on a facial mask to maintain yourself and increase your chances."

"Think about it. Although you are indeed very beautiful, but which woman in this room isn't an angel's face with a devil's figure?"

"Um... Yunyun isn't."

......

Fine, she'd have to take out another facial mask.

Finally, the four women comfortably applied facial masks together, but their eyes couldn't help looking towards the tightly shut room door from time to time.

After that painful scream came from inside half an hour ago, there hadn't been any other sounds.

"Creak."

The room door opened.

Everyone's gaze turned that way.

Xiao Jun was holding a towel and drying his hair.

After the advancement finished, he had sweated quite a bit and felt sticky, so he took a shower.

"It's so annoying without a hair dryer."

While drying his hair, Xiao Jun grumbled to himself.

"Bang!"

A Dyson hair dryer was flung in front of him.

Xiao Jun stared dumbfounded at Jiang Yue who had flung it over.

"There is one, use it. It's a Dyson, a single hair dryer costs three thousand yuan."

[I was so worried waiting outside, and you were taking a shower inside? You want a hair dryer? Then blow away.]

Jiang Yue was not actually as calm as she appeared. Xiao Jun was the soul of the team. If something happened to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The other women covered their mouths trying to muffle their laughter.

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Jun cleared his throat, ignoring the several thousand yuan hair dryer in front of him.

"I advanced to Fourth Order."

The others had been waiting for these words of his. Although they had anticipated it already, hearing Xiao Jun say it himself still made them unable to contain their joy.

"Congratulations Brother Jun."

The stronger Xiao Jun became, the safer they were.

"Yunyun, let's put aside the matter of advancing team members for now. We'll wait for the results on Jing Yi's side."

Having become Fourth Order and upgraded his Superpower Talent, now there was no one in Future City that Xiao Jun feared, even if the other powers had Fourth Order Variants. Xiao Jun firmly believed he could match those at the same level.

Yunyun nodded. Anyway, screening personnel would take time, she was in no hurry.
