Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1241: All Members Enhanced

Chapter 1241: All Members Enhanced

Under Zhang Yi's urging, everyone at home was also diligently progressing.

However, now that everyone's superhuman ability index had reached the level of elite squad members and squad leaders, the disparity in talent had become increasingly apparent.

Although Zhang Yi held a large amount of Origin from mutated creatures in his hands, the absorption efficiency varied drastically among different individuals.

Among everyone, Liang Yue's talent was unsurprisingly high.

Her base stats were too high, and her conversion rate for absorbing the Origin of mutated creatures was also extremely high.

In fact, after returning from the Qinling Mountains, her superhuman ability index had already reached 9,700 points!

This was the result after absorbing the Origin of two squad leader-level mutated creatures and Cheng Lanlan.

Considering her reinforcement-type attribute for close-quarters combat, if she could get close, she could potentially achieve a surprise instant kill against an Epsilon-level superhuman.

Even Zhang Yi didn't dare to completely let his guard down when facing Liang Yue, because during their daily sparring sessions in the stadium, Zhang Yi often ended up getting beaten up quite badly by her.

Later, after Zhang Yi's careful cultivation of her, her strength gradually approached the threshold of 9,800 points, and only then did the speed of absorbing mutated creature Origin begin to slow down. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Although Zhang Yi could completely use the Origin of mutated creatures in his hands to forcibly push her combat power up in a short period, this method had a low cost-effectiveness; going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

Zhang Yi was a frugal person, so he didn't make such plans.

Apart from her, Hua Hua's superhuman ability index had also reached 9,999 points, just one step away from a complete breakthrough.

Having consumed the Divine Source and already having its genetic limitations unlocked, theoretically, it was the one with the highest talent in the Shelter besides Zhang Yi.

It only needed continuous combat to stimulate its potential; sooner or later, it would step over the threshold into Epsilon.

Besides the two of them, the other partners in the Shelter had also received significant enhancements.

Old You's superhuman ability index crossed the threshold of deputy squad leader level, reaching a height of 8,100 points.

He wasn't satisfied with this figure because Zhang Yi had spent a relatively large amount of materials on him.

It took the Origin of three squad leader-level mutated creatures to barely get him to this level.

Going forward from here, improvement would be even more incredibly difficult.

Old You even sighed to Zhang Yi, "My upper limit might stop here. Effort can indeed make people stronger, but to reach the top in a certain field, what comes later still relies on talent."

Zhang Yi smiled and comforted him, "No need to rush. You can't become a fatty in one bite. Perhaps you need to slowly digest this power. It's also my fault for being too impatient, eager to make you all stronger."

Hearing this, Fatty Xu, who wasn't far away, was not happy.

"Boss, you guys can talk all you want, but stop always taking digs at me!"

As he spoke, he occasionally lowered his head to play a game.

Zhang Yi and Old You moved closer to take a look.

"Well, well, still playing online with someone else!"

Old You chuckled. Zhang Yi and Old You exchanged a glance, their eyes carrying a hint of amusement.

"Who are you playing with?"

The two asked knowingly.

Fatty Xu's face flushed red. "That... I have a friend."

Bullshit 'a friend.'

Who else could be playing games with him at a time like this besides Li Yangyang?

Zhang Yi asked somewhat gossipily, "How are things going between you two now? Didn't you break up? Why are you still entangled like lotus roots?"

Fatty Xu jumped up and said, "What breakup? I said, we're not dating! It's just... I think she's a nice person. It's quite nice to get along with her as a friend."

Zhang Yi scoffed disdainfully. "Right, right. As long as it doesn't reach the final step, you can also hypnotize yourself in your mind, fantasizing that she's just a beautiful girl..."

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Before Zhang Yi could finish, Fatty Xu immediately covered his ears with both hands and ran far away.

Sure enough, he had applied the phrase "Escape may be shameful, but it's useful" to the extreme. It was just self-delusion and avoiding reality.

Zhang Yi couldn't be bothered with him; he could handle his own relationship matters.

However, stimulated by Li Yangyang, Fatty Xu had indeed undergone some changes recently.

On the surface, he said he didn't like femboys, but he had much more drive during training.

Now, with Zhang Yi's force-feeding-style help, his superhuman ability index had also reached 8,000 points.

Who it was really for, Zhang Yi didn't say, but everyone understood in their hearts.

Dead-fat-otakus are just such complex creatures.

Besides them, Yang Xinxin's superhuman ability index had also reached 9,000 points.

She didn't seem particularly enthusiastic about getting stronger.

Possessors of rule-type abilities rely on their brains, not just pure ability.

She preferred being the woman behind Zhang Yi, coordinating everything and strategizing for him.

In comparison, Zhou Ke'er was more focused on improving her strength.

She was the Doctor, Zhang Yi's body manager.

The stronger she became, the more guaranteed Zhang Yi's physical health and safety would be.

As a support-type ability user, she didn't need to gain experience through combat.

She only needed to repeatedly practice her abilities, perform treatments, or conduct microscopic biological experiments to improve the precision of her abilities.

So she didn't lag behind, also reaching the squad leader-level threshold of 9,000 points.

It was under this kind of practice that her ability finally experienced explosive growth.

A new ability: [Physical Alteration].

Simply put, she could change a living being's physical constitution through touch.

This gave her a certain degree of lethality. Theoretically, anyone whose body she touched could be manipulated according to her will.

Twist flesh, destroy internal organs.

However, as non-combat personnel, this kind of attack method had little opportunity to be used; it could only be utilized at special moments.

But the [Physical Alteration] ability demonstrated powerful utility when helping teammates.

She could help Zhang Yi possess the most perfect physique.

Currently, Zhang Yi's physical fitness was already comparable to that of a Beta-level reinforcement-type superhuman.

For the current Zhang Yi, this was a tremendous enhancement.

Although it couldn't allow him to engage in close-quarters combat with Epsilon-level superhumans, the improvement in basic physical fitness would enhance his endurance and allow him to handle many complex environments.

For example.

If Zhang Yi fought a superhuman of the same level and their power was exhausted towards the end, the superiority of physical endurance would become evident.

Whoever could hold out longer would have the last laugh.

Relatively speaking, Yang Siya's ability improvement speed was neither fast nor slow.

Her talent ceiling wasn't particularly high. Even enjoying the same treatment as Zhou Ke'er, she barely reached the level of 8,000 points.

However, this little woman was quite content with the status quo. For her, the superhuman ability index was just an ingredient that made the food she prepared more delicious and more capable of filling Zhang Yi's stomach.

The one who truly astonished Zhang Yi was actually Lu Keran.

Because her superhuman ability index had skyrocketed to 9,500 points in one go!
