At this moment, Gu Ziyun poked half her head out of the bathroom and called out to Li Ling, "Brother Li Ling."
"What's wrong?"
"I suspect you were driving."
"..."
Has my secret of being a seasoned driver been discovered? Li Ling touched his nose and pondered deeply.
...
Listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, Li Ling felt a little hot. Hmm? Did I really want to drive? Li Ling couldn't help but ask himself.
But Ziyun is still a child! Should I extend my evil hand? The censors are watching from the sidelines! Amitabha, form is emptiness!
I wonder what my parents' reaction will be when they find out I've arranged a foreign wife for them?
Li Ling's mind was wandering when he suddenly slapped his forehead. "That's right, I haven't claimed the mission reward yet. I wonder what it is this time?"
Li Ling had some guesses about this. The system's rewards were usually things that the wisher himself had, such as his abilities or items. This mission was for Zi Yun's wish, and Zi Yun didn't have any special items, so it should be her abilities.
Li Ling opened the system panel and saw the system reward option. He clicked to claim it.
The system's voice rang out: "Ding, congratulations to the host for fulfilling the wish of 'Witch' Gu Ziyun - to cure her illness, and you have been awarded the reward 'Gu Ziyun's mental power and self-healing ability'."
"The system has enhanced this reward. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 'enhanced mental power and self-healing ability'."
A stream of light appeared out of thin air and entered Li Ling's body. After entering Li Ling's body, the stream of light split into two. One of them entered his sea of consciousness and began to strengthen his soul.
Another stream flowed through his body, and as the light passed through a certain place, a portion of it would dissipate, enhancing the activity of Li Ling's body.
After the two streams of light were exhausted, Li Ling felt his soul become more resilient and his spirit more active, as if his spiritual power would burst forth with a single thought.
Taking a deep breath, Li Ling examined his body. His vigorous mental energy at this moment allowed him to perceive his own body even more clearly. He carefully felt that every cell in his body had become more active.
"Phew! Let's try using mental power first."
Li Ling exhaled, and with a thought, a powerful spiritual force erupted from his mind, instantly covering the entire living room, allowing him to clearly sense every corner of the room.
"rise!"
With a thought, Li Ling caused all the items in the living room to float up. The coffee table, television, stools, and so on all seemed to have escaped Earth's gravity and were floating in mid-air.
Li Ling controlled these objects, moving them left and right at will, which made him feel both novel and excited.
"go!"
Li Ling's invisible mental power grabbed a fruit knife floating in the air, and with mental control, he threw it hard. With a "whoosh," the fruit knife turned into a streak of light and "plop" pierced into the thick wall. Then it stabbed back from the other side of the wall, piercing two holes in it.
Looking at the damaged wall, Li Ling frowned slightly. "I'm a good family man; I can't squander money." His gaze swept across the room, then he looked towards the window. Using his mental powers, he opened the window and controlled the fruit knife to float outside.
He walked to the window, glanced around, and his eyes lit up when he saw an artificial hill in the park a few dozen meters away.
The next moment, using mental power, the fruit knife flew out, transforming into a streak of light that swiftly pierced the artificial hill. The knife left no trace, silently piercing the darkness. Only a few 'swoosh' sounds were heard as the fruit knife left several holes in the artificial hill.
"This power is comparable to a sniper rifle, right?" Li Ling secretly estimated, but the control distance was a bit short. He felt that with his current mental strength, the farthest distance he could control objects was probably around 50 meters.
Li Ling didn't dare to go too far. The holes in the artificial hill were relatively well hidden, and no one else would find it strange if they saw them. Then he controlled the fruit knife to fly back to his own home.
At this moment, Gu Ziyun came out after washing up, wearing a clean white nightgown and holding a towel to dry her hair. But when she saw the floating objects in the living room, she was stunned and her mouth dropped open.
"Brother Li Ling, did you do all of this?" Gu Ziyun felt incredulous.
Li Ling chuckled, using his mental power to put all the items back in their places, close the window, and then rubbed his slightly swollen temples. It was his first time using mental power, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it. He sat back down on the sofa.
He laughed and said, "Yes, this is the reward for completing the system task. Speaking of which, this reward all comes from you, Ziyun."
Gu Ziyun, holding a towel to cover her still slightly damp hair, sat down next to Li Ling and asked, "Did you acquire my mind control ability? But why is it so much stronger than mine?"
Gu Ziyun's mental manipulation is currently limited to controlling objects that are not very heavy, and each use lasts for a very short time. Prolonged use would severely deplete her mental energy and cause her physical body to suffer. It is far from the level of Li Ling's ability to control all the floating objects in the living room.
Li Ling took her hand and explained, "This ability is more accurately described as mental power. Every time I complete a mission, I receive a mission reward, and the system enhances each reward. If the acquired ability or item has side effects, the system will also eliminate those side effects. I have now obtained an enhanced version of mental power."
Gu Ziyun pouted and huffed, "What you got from me is so much better than me."
Li Ling laughed, took the towel off her head, and gently dried her wet hair, saying, "With stronger abilities, I can better protect my little fairy Ziyun."
Moreover, Ziyun frequently absorbs the World Essence transformed from the Qiankun World, which continuously enhances her abilities. I believe it won't be long before she reaches a level similar to mine.
Hearing this, Gu Ziyun's feigned anger turned into a sweet smile. The smile was because Li Ling said he would always protect her, which made her feel Li Ling's affection and warmed her heart.
Gu Ziyun blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Ling. Her dark eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of mist as she earnestly replied, "I also want to become strong so that I can accompany Brother Li Ling to explore different worlds. I want to be able to help Brother Li Ling."
Li Ling smiled slightly, reached out and touched Zi Yun's little face, then couldn't help but peck her little mouth, and said, "Actually, this time I not only gained the ability of mental power, but I also gained your self-healing ability."
Gu Ziyun's eyes lit up. Her original self-healing ability was already very strong. In the movie, when she fought with the curly-haired youth, she blocked a bullet from the youth on the back of her hand, and it healed instantly. Of course, this self-healing ability could not be applied to her head, which was her fatal weakness.
Li Ling didn't say anything, but with a wave of his hand, the fruit knife landed in his hand. He held the fruit knife and saw that the blade was already bent from cutting through the wall and the artificial mountain.
Li Ling pinched the curled blade of the fruit knife between his thumb and forefinger, and with a forceful slash, the curled blade instantly straightened. Then he took the fruit knife and slashed his arm, leaving only a long white mark.
Seeing this, Gu Ziyun covered her mouth and laughed, "Brother Li Ling, you'll have to use your strength, otherwise the fruit knife won't even be able to cut your skin."
Li Ling has now mastered the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt technique, and ordinary weapons cannot break through his physical defenses.
Li Ling exerted all his strength, using over ten thousand pounds of force in his arm. In the next moment, he crushed the handle of the fruit knife. Finally, as the blade of the fruit knife bent again, a wound appeared on his arm. But before the blood could even flow, the wound healed in an instant.
