"Um... Is this an illusion?"
Xu Xingyao had only been awake for a short while before drifting back into a drowsy sleep.
Illusions are a typical ability that relies on psychic power to be manifested.
Xu Xingyao hadn't consumed the Psychokinesis Fruit, and her psychic power was still at a normal person's level.
She simply couldn't withstand the immense mental drain of the "illusion" ability! But this wouldn't cause her any harm.
She just needed to rest more.
Lin Lang got dressed and got out of bed.
He first went to the storage area in the villa to replenish her supplies—
He added purified water, a self-heating hot pot, snacks, drinks, and some emergency medications.
After that, he headed to the esports room.
He took a dream fruit from his space and swallowed it whole.
The fruit transformed into a rich Spiritual energy.
But his ravenous physical body devoured it in an instant:
[Lin Lang]
[Combat Power: SS]
[Physical Body: Six Enhancements]
[Superpower: Intuition (Level 10); Spirit Wood (Level 8); Beast Control (Level 4); Illusion (Level 1)]
Lin Lang also tried—
He projected his incredibly powerful Psychic Power outward!
At the same time, a scene of the ocean appeared in his mind.
In an instant!
A surging tide swept in all directions from him! The small room transformed into an endless ocean!
He stood at the center of the sea, unmoving on the water's surface.
But! There was no sound.
And no sensation.
Everything was merely an image.
When he closed his eyes, there was nothing left.
Lin Lang understood—
The principle of this illusion was to release Psychic Power, attaching it to surrounding objects, altering their appearance, and then collectively forming a scene! It was not an invasion of someone else's mental world to create an illusion.
The difference between the two.
If we were to use a sci-fi analogy, one is external display, and the other is brain-machine input.
Lin Lang believed that this "external display" was superior to that "brain-machine input."
Because, under external display, the image objectively exists!
For example—
If Lin Lang were to take a photo with his phone right now, he could capture this "ocean"!
But mental invasion wouldn't work because that image only exists in the "invaded person's" mental world! Lin Lang took out another hundred dream fruits from his space.
He swallowed them all in one go! [Illusion (Level 2)]
"Level 2 now."
Lin Lang cast again!
Still the ocean! But this time, details like splashes and light reflections were much richer!
It felt more real! Just in terms of the image!
No one could find any flaws now!
But that wasn't enough! Lin Lang took out 300 more, swallowing them one after another, frantically consuming them!
In no time!
300 fruits down! [Illusion (Level 3)]
Let's try again!
This time! Lin Lang found himself at the center of the ocean, with the sound of the wind whistling in his ears!
The sound of the waves crashing!
And the distant calls of seagulls! Sounds appeared in the illusion! But this sound was still under Lin Lang's control; he deliberately kept the volume low to avoid disturbing Xu Xingyao's rest in the bedroom.
Xu Xingyao returned 800 fruits to Lin Lang.
Lin Lang had already consumed 400.
There were still 400 left.
He habitually kept 100 as insurance.
He ate the remaining 300.
[Illusion (Level 2)]
This time, he couldn't level up.
...
At this moment, Xu Xingyao had not yet woken up.
With nothing to do, Lin Lang entered his space.
Piles of low-grade Psychokinesis Fruits, mid-grade Physique Fruits, medium-grade Wood Spirit Fruits, low-grade Mind Reading Fruits, and medium-grade Beast Mastery Fruits...
Among them, the Psychokinesis Fruits and Physical Enhancement Fruits no longer provided him any help; eating more was useless.
The effects of the Wood Spirit Fruits were also diminishing.
Only the Beast Mastery Fruits were still effective.
So he took out a large number of Beast Mastery Fruits! Not bothering with the exact quantity.
He just swallowed them one by one.
[Beast Control (Level 5)]
He only stopped when his Beast Control ability leveled up by 1.
Then!
He released his Psychic Power—
Within a radius of three hundred meters!
There were several Ferocious Beasts.
Rabbits, mice, snakes...
Their Combat Power ranged from D to C+! Lin Lang applied the "Beast King Aura" to them.
They immediately bowed to this unseen "Beast King"!
Then, Lin Lang used the "communication" ability within Beast Control to give them a command: "Protect the people in this villa, and do not allow anyone or any Ferocious Beasts to harm her!"
"Aw!"
The Ferocious Beasts obediently responded.
This command would be deeply engraved in their memories like a "thought brand"!...
Xu Xingyao didn't wake up until evening.
Lin Lang took out some food from his space and had a meal with her.
However, this little girl was restless while eating.
Under the table.
Her soft little feet, like a kitten kneading, kept moving around under Lin Lang!
While drinking soup.
She licked it like a little cat, getting soup all over her mouth! Lin Lang had no choice but to toss her onto the bed.
And give her a good lesson.
...
The next morning.
Lin Lang left ten dream fruits and ten Physical Enhancement Fruits for Xu Xingyao.
Then he left.
He had only come this time to deliver dream fruits to Xu Xingyao.
And to replenish some supplies.
He had long seen how skilled this little girl was at seducing; Lin Lang was well aware of it.
If he didn't take the opportunity to leave while she was asleep, he feared he would waste several more days.
...
As he stepped outside.
He took out a few Physical Enhancement Fruits from his space and tossed them on the ground.
Then he used his Beast Control ability.
Calling the Ferocious Beasts he had "contracted" yesterday to come eat.
This was their reward.
And it was also to strengthen their combat power.
"With this, Xu Xingyao's safety is basically guaranteed."
Lin Lang nodded.
Then he leaped into the air.
Riding the mist!
His figure vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye!...
Outside the walls of Happiness Residential Complex.
Lin Lang descended from the clouds.
He walked into the community.
At this time.
Engineer He, who had contracted the "casting cauldron" project, was wearing a white hard hat.
Directing the workers.
Trying to build a huge furnace with bricks and cement!
Zhang Dabing was supervising nearby.
With piles of supplies stacked behind him!
Any worker who finished their shift could come here to collect supplies.
So the "workers" were quite motivated.
Lin Lang felt gratified.
He didn't disturb them.
He returned to 2102. At this moment.
Tang Lingyu was lying sideways on the living room sofa, binge-watching a show.
Seeing Lin Lang return, she twisted her body and winked at him:
"Little husband, you're back!"
She was wearing a body-hugging skirt.
At this moment, she deliberately pulled her skirt up a bit.
Revealing a pair of white, shiny, and curvy long legs! Lin Lang walked over and kneaded her plump body.
Full, soft, and bouncy! Quite nice!
Before long, Tang Lingyu's face turned red, and she let out soft breaths.
But she pouted and said, "Little husband, Gu Fei and Su Ran (little sister) are isolating me!"
"Oh?" Lin Lang raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"
"Of course!" Tang Lingyu said, sounding hurt, "Look, they're taking a bath together! They've been in there for ages and didn't invite me!"
Indeed, the sound of rushing water could be heard from the bathroom.
Along with the cheerful chatter of Gu Fei and Lü Suran.
Lin Lang said, "Then I'll talk to them later."
"No need!"
Tang Lingyu sat up.
Using her two towering peaks.
She tightly squeezed Lin Lang's arm.
Gently swaying, she said, "No need! It's just that I want someone to accompany me while I bathe... I wonder if little husband could do that?"
The woman before him was fair, tender, and maturely sexy.
Lin Lang could only reluctantly agree, "Alright."
But just then—
[Ding! Shen Chuchu consumed 1 lobster, returned 100, stored in host's space]
[Shen Chuchu consumed 1 king crab, returned 100, stored in host's space]
[Shen Chuchu consumed 1 bottle of red wine, returned 100 bottles, stored in host's space]
"Hmm?"
Lin Lang's expression was subtle.
"Where did this woman run off to?"
"How is she living the good life?"
But no matter where she had gone.
In any case.
Lin Lang would be able to eat seafood from now on!
