My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 232 - 231: Mental Compensation · Fake Apple
Three days after the Grass Hut Battle.
The first Extraordinary Exchange Seminar had successfully concluded.
Representatives of Extraordinary Ones from various countries returned home fully loaded with the exchanged intelligence and materials.
As the host, China also benefited greatly from the process.
The exchange of extraordinary materials was just about breaking even.
However, the exchange of information on superpower training and Inner Qi cultivation was a pure profit. Even Ma Ran was able to gain some new inspiration from the vast amount of experimental data from various countries.
Before truly resolving all external threats, the positions of countries on Earth were the same. Although they couldn't readily put aside years of grudges and unite externally, they all understood the principle that when the nest is overturned, no egg is left intact, and wouldn't easily ignite internal conflicts.
The most important gain for the Chinese side was that after this Extraordinary Exchange Seminar, it successfully laid the foundation for a new era where they would steer the direction of Earth civilization.
With two National Guardian-level superpower users, nationwide extraordinary dissemination, and the successful capture of nearly a hundred alien invaders after this battle...
In terms of hard power, soft power, and achievements, they were impeccable, and no one could find fault.
Even the American representatives, throughout the seminar, did not attempt to cause any trouble.
The entire exchange seminar was a roller-coaster ride, and even though an insignificant minor character died, it was just an insignificant accident.
No one cared.
The lives of Earthlings were just too fragile.
Even the renowned Olympic Games had as many as five cases of death...
Heatstroke, overdosing, robberies, sudden heart attacks, traffic accidents.
In the era of cold weapons, one would still say "swords and sabers are unseeing" before sparring.
Now is the Extraordinary Era.
If someone dies during a duel, it's a normal occurrence.
Moreover, that unlucky fellow named Leonard Baholi died at the hands of a guest from the Cangming Star.
Could the host possibly seek accountability from the demonic progeny for such an unlikable, weak victim?
Ridiculous!
Impossible!
Aside from the Indian delegation, other countries expressed complete understanding.
Afterwards, everything was calm and peaceful.
Only the Korean delegation seemed to have some bad luck.
More than four hundred kilometers from the Grass Hut Academy, they were suddenly attacked by alien creatures.
It was a new species never before seen on Earth.
Their combat power wasn't top-notch and couldn't be lethal in one blow, but their movement speed was ghost-like, too swift to be captured by the naked eye.
Under such circumstances, even if one could shoot them to pieces with a single shot, the attack could not truly be effective.
How could one aim when dynamic vision couldn't keep up?
Shoot randomly, relying on luck?
When the bullets ran out and there was no covering fire, this group of people would die immediately!
During this event, Li Xuanxun, who had been comatose since the first night of the seminar, died on the spot, torn to pieces.
Jin Yina, who was like a small invisible character, showed courage, intelligence, strength, and insight far beyond ordinary people during this process.
She fully utilized her personal abilities, turning the tide and holding out long enough for the support from the Grass Hut Academy to arrive, indirectly saving the lives of other members of the delegation.
Everyone thanked her profusely.
Jin Yina took the opportunity to rise to prominence, winning support and friendship from other members of the delegation.
As for the deceased Li Xuanxun...
No one shed even a single tear for this international embarrassment of a clown.
After a simple cremation on-site, his ashes were taken back to South Korea.
Thereafter, few mentioned Li Xuanxun, the A-level Bone Melting Phosphorus Fire ability awakener.
With billions of people on Earth, talent is something there is never a shortage of.
No one remains eighteen forever, but there will always be someone who is eighteen.
Without Li Xuanxun, there's still Jin Xuanxun, Cui Xuanxun.
...
Bang, bang, bang!
As Ma Ran pushed open the door, he saw Su Qiangwei standing outside.
The girl was holding something that looked like an apple, causing Ma Ran's scalp to tingle and his whole body to feel uncomfortable.
Upon closer observation, it was evident that what she held wasn't a real apple, not even having any weight or mass!
It was simply a condensation of spirit and emotion.
Only those who inherently loathed apples could see this thing.
"This is..."
Ma Ran instantly recognized the essence of the "fake apple": "Pillar Level Ability [Mental Compensation]."
The original owner of this ability died very early, and Ma Ran had only seen it in the archives of the community without really delving into it.
But when it appeared in front of him, after a quick comparison, he immediately remembered it.
Su Qiangwei, with no expression, handed this apple to Ma Ran: "No nonsense, eat it quickly."
"Once you eat it, your illness will be cured."
Indeed...
In Su Qiangwei's eyes, Ma Ran was now a patient.
Mental illness is also a kind of illness.
Although she did not know where his aversion and resistance to apples came from, as a comrade in the same battle line, Su Qiangwei felt she had the responsibility and obligation to treat Ma Ran, helping him overcome this weakness.
Feeling creeped out at the sight of apples is not a big issue, just a small flaw, but...
What if the enemy exploited it on the battlefield in the future?
What if, because of such a ridiculous reason, Ma Ran's life was schemed against and lost?
With this worry, Su Qiangwei spent a lot of effort and energy to train the superpower [Mental Compensation], which does little to enhance personal combat power.
Even with her talent, dealing precisely with Ma Ran's "apple anxiety" was by no means simple.
Ma Ran looked at the girl for a while, his expression complex. He did not hesitate, only frowned slightly and slowly picked up the weightless fake apple.
This thing, held in hand, didn't have the coolness of ordinary fruit, instead, it gave a warm feeling.
Bringing it to his mouth, Ma Ran gulped as if eating some sort of extremely dark cuisine, and bit down bravely.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch...
Though it was a condensation of spirit and emotion, it surprisingly gave a fresh and juicy feeling.
Sour and sweet, the flavor was unexpectedly good!
Ma Ran, in three strokes, five divisions, chewed and swallowed the whole fake apple.
Neither its peel, seeds, nor stem was left out.
Closing his eyes, a bright red apple appeared in the pitch-black void.
Although he still disliked apples, as before...
He would never, as before, feel physiological discomfort and soul resistance.
Ma Ran opened his eyes, fixing his gaze on Su Qiangwei, a hint of joy in his tone: "I'm cured, thank you very much."
The girl raised an eyebrow: "Tch! What kind of relationship do we have, don't be so formal!"
Sensing a bit of ambiguity in her words, she quickly changed the topic: "You often share snacks with me, reciprocation, that's all! So..."
"No need to be so polite!"
The Grass Hut Battle ended in a resounding victory.
But these last two days, the more Su Qiangwei thought back, the more frightened she felt.
The Extremely Effective Monarch was really too sinister!
If it hadn't been for Ma Ran's guardian spirit armor, formed by half of his Inner Qi, she might have perished...
Huh?
Would using the phrase "vanish like scent and jade" to describe herself be weird?
Qiangwei · Little Fairy · Master of All Positive Words!
Seeing the girl beside him giggle foolishly, Ma Ran felt a headache coming on: "What nonsense are you thinking again?"
Su Qiangwei blushed: "None of your business!"
After just completing a tough battle, can't one indulge in a little vanity?
"Time is almost up! Stop dawdling, hurry up!"
"This time, the Pursuer is really going to bring out the real stuff!"
