Chapter 459: Chapter 395: The Situation Is Excellent (Part 2)
No matter how the Golden Crow changed its angle of flight, or how it accelerated and decelerated, Flora Bloom stood firm on its back. Her feet were nestled in its black feathers, warm and steady, as if she were on solid ground, with no turbulence whatsoever.
"Master, how about it? I’m way better than one of those darn airplanes, right?"
"Fly carefully! Don’t go crashing into some other flying creature!"
"Tch! After my metamorphosis, unless I summon them, no beast or bird of a lower level than me will appear for miles around.
So don’t you worry, Master!"
"For real? You’ve gotten that powerful?"
"Hah. Right now, I’ve only completed a single transformation ritual. I’m still far from true evolution. Once I actually evolve, there won’t be a single being in the entire universe who can stand against me!"
Flora Bloom lay back comfortably on the Golden Crow’s toasty back. "Keep dreaming. Can you even take on the War Wolf Clan? And what about the Bloodthirsty Giant Crocodile? You’re saying it’s no match for you either?"
"Er... as long as I complete my final evolution, then of course they won’t be a match for me!
It’s just... this dimension doesn’t have the materials or conditions for me to evolve. So, Master, you have to level up quickly, or even I won’t be able to leave this place. How will I ever be able to finish evolving then?!"
"I know! I’m doing my best, aren’t I?"
Flora Bloom looked at the mountain range inside her personal space. The vein of red Energy Gemstones was still pitifully small, which frustrated her.
She had hoped the vein would have grown a bit by now. It had, unfortunately, but at a rate a hundred times slower than her own fingernails.
It was unbearable!
Seeing Flora Bloom’s predicament, the Golden Crow gave her a textbook eye-roll.
"I have to ask, Master, are you an idiot?"
"You’re the idiot! If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Don’t you have a fragment of a Gold Element Crystal Stone in your space? As long as you merge with it, the mineral vein in that mountain will naturally start growing like crazy!"
"Are you serious? This Gold Element Crystal Stone can really make the vein grow faster?"
"Absolutely!"
"But I’m only Middle Level 1, and I need to reach Middle Level 3 to absorb..." Flora Bloom trailed off, then suddenly smacked herself on the head.
"Of course! I guess ’pregnancy brain’ is a real thing! I can use the Energy Gemstones in my space to level up first. Once I absorb the Gold Element Crystal Stone, the vein will start to grow, and then it can produce a steady stream of Energy Gemstones!
And I’ll be able to reach the High-level Superpower rank."
"Sigh, how did I end up with such a dense master? It’s a simple chicken-and-egg situation. How could you not get it?"
"Well, I didn’t know this Gold Element Crystal Stone fragment could make the vein grow!"
"Master, your personal space is special. Each different Crystal Stone fragment corresponds to a unique function within it. For example, the Gold Element Crystal Stone promotes the growth of all kinds of mineral veins in your space. The higher your Superpower Level becomes, the faster the veins will grow.
Not only that, but once you absorb the Gold Element Crystal Stone, you will also gain the powers of a Gold Ability User.
Of the seven major superpower branches, I believe you’re already familiar with the Water Element and Fire Element. The upcoming Plant Element and Earth Element will also grant you their corresponding abilities.
Master, I think some of your priorities are skewed. No matter where you are, strength is everything. Even if you didn’t have this Gold Element Crystal Stone, you should have made improving your own strength your top priority and absorbed these Energy Gemstones first.
Energy Gemstones are rare, but not impossible to find. You can’t be reluctant to use them just because you have so few!
You should use them to get stronger as fast as possible, then use that strength to seize even more resources!"
Flora Bloom let out a long breath on the Golden Crow’s back. "Alright, alright, I get it. You go through one little ritual and suddenly you’re an old man lecturing me! Let’s go, let’s go! Back to Morhaven. We need to find a safe place for me to absorb these energy stones and level up!"
Ever since the revelation that ordinary people could awaken superpowers, the entirety of Morhaven, led by a few major factions, had launched a zombie-clearing frenzy. Their target: the city of Orinburg.
In just one short month, Orinburg—a city even larger than Morhaven—had been completely cleared out by these "hungry masses" from Morhaven.
Of course, with battle comes casualties. Over the past month, Flora Bloom had been a hands-off manager, entrusting the colossal Vert and her other "pets" to Lex Cross to be assigned as he saw fit. They worked in coordination with the various teams, fighting against the countless zombie hordes of Orinburg.
Orinburg had been taken, but thirty-six of Morhaven’s superpower users had died in the process.
But to Flora Bloom, that number was far, far smaller than the human casualties in the great war that would come three years into the apocalypse.
