Chapter 38: Chapter 35 The Bottom Card_1
Li Ming could tell what Zhang Yuan meant; he knew in his heart that this woman had finally returned to him completely.
“Alright, I will pick out your pretty dresses and bring them over tomorrow afternoon.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Ming’s mouth as he began to recall all the clothes Zhang Yuan had worn in the past.
He considered which items of clothing he found most attractive on her.
The first thing that came to his mind was the business outfit Zhang Yuan wore the night before the apocalypse… Yes, he would bring that.
“I’ll tidy up the room a bit, otherwise, there won’t be room for all the clothes, shoes and make-up products tomorrow.”
Upon hearing Li Ming’s agreement, Zhang Yuan’s face lit up with a bright smile. She kissed Li Ming and said with a smile.
“Okay, you sort it out yourself.”
Li Ming nonchalantly nodded his agreement, letting her get off the bed to tidy up the room.
Meanwhile, he used his telekinetic power to control a power drill that flew back and forth in the room, slowly exhausting his recovered mental strength.
“Clang…”
It was only after more than ten minutes when the drill fell to the ground, that Li Ming took a breath. His mind felt empty. He rubbed his brow and sighed.
The recovery of telekinesis was still too slow compared to physical energy. Unless he slept, it took a whole day for his power to recover. With his current level of telekinesis, it could not be effectively used in battle.
It would only recover quickly during sleep.
But upon thinking about it, physical strength seemed to work in the same way. If he exhausted his strength, it wouldn’t recover immediately either.
“It still needs time and practice.”
With a sigh, what regretted Li Ming was that the current use of telekinesis couldn’t be increased through the proficiency panel. Otherwise, his telekinetic power would surely improve rapidly.
Based on his own regular exercise and stretching, Li Ming guessed that only clearly established effective training methods would trigger the proficiency panel and form skills.
However… according to today’s stretching situation, if tomorrow’s body feels as relaxed as it did after stretching this afternoon, it will be interesting.
Wouldn’t it directly prove that anything he did was defaultly supported by the proficiency panel? Forever improving without regression, steadily progressing step by step?
“If this is really the case, perhaps, running, physical exercise, long jump, high jump, these basic human activities should be my training targets.”
Li Ming couldn’t help but ponder. While his thoughts were flickering, Zhang Yuan, who kept glancing at him, had finally tidied up enough space in the room.
She hurriedly turned back, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Li Ming, “Li Ming, was that you making the drill fly around just now?”
As Zhang Yuan spoke, her eyes were full of awe.
She had noticed this miraculous scene when Li Ming began to control the drill. She wanted to ask, but was preoccupied with tidying up the room as Chen Li would come soon.
She kept her eyes on Li Ming until the drill landed, only turning her gaze away once the room was tidy and asked eagerly.
Li Ming’s previously demonstrated horrific power was within her understanding, but this… was beyond comprehension!
Zhang Yuan’s mind was filled with a plethora of words describing supernatural powers, ending up with her eyes sparkling while looking at Li Ming.
“Uh, I forgot to tell you, I’ve been busy training these few days and didn’t get a chance to show you,”
Hearing Zhang Yuan’s question, Li Ming raised an eyebrow, smiled and said, “It’s an ability I gained while killing zombies outside. Have you ever seen the movie ‘Chronicle’? It’s somewhat like telekinesis from there.”
“I watched it. Is it really like that? Can such amazing things happen? Can you show me again?”
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement as she jumped next to Li Ming and asked him.
Of course, she was incredibly excited. With the dawn of the apocalypse, the terrifying zombies had brought her countless nightmares and fears.
In such circumstances, everyone wanted to obtain a power that could stand against it. Li Ming, whom she had known before, was the power she could grasp to fight this fear. So, after much hesitation, she finally chose to throw herself completely into Li Ming’s arms.
And now, Li Ming had shown an even more magical power. She originally believed that she could only rely on a stronger sentiment within herself. However, from what Li Ming said, such magical power could actually be obtained from the outside!
Her heart pounded wildly, her cheeks burned, and she looked at Li Ming with great enthusiasm.
“I just used it to practice this ability, but it’s all spent now. If you want to see it, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning.”
Li Ming shrugged his shoulders, smiled and watched the excited Zhang Yuan, then reached out to touch her face and whispered, “However, don’t tell anyone about this. I told you because I see you really want to commit to me.”
“Anything is possible in the last days. Danger can strike at any time. We need to keep a trump card to cope with crises.”
“Aside from myself, you’re the only one I’ve told. Not even Chen Li has seen it, so don’t speak carelessly.”
Li Ming’s serious voice gave Zhang Yuan a strong sense of security, as if by gaining more secrets after intimacy, their connection deepened. She nodded repeatedly.
“Hmm, I understand, I won’t tell anyone!”
Zhang Yuan responded quickly. Li Ming chuckled and laid her down.
In truth, Li Ming didn’t lie to her. He intended to keep his psychic power concealed from others.
However, since Zhang Yuan was so determined to be with him, she would inevitably find out in the future. It would be better to prepare her now and solidify their relationship.
He believed that once Zhang Yuan knew about this, she would be even more committed to him. This would simplify things for him in the future, which is why he chose to tell her.
As for Chen Li…their relationship was merely transactional. Although he liked her a lot, he would never share such important information with her.
The less others knew about his affairs, the better. You never know when this unknown ability could become his reliable support to take control of and turn around situations.
The two clung to each other in bed, Zhang Yuan responding enthusiastically to Li Ming.
“Chen Li will be here soon. If we do it now, how will we let her in?”
Zhang Yuan laid on the bed, her cheeks reddening as she spoke to Li Ming.
“It’s fine.”
“……”
Past ten, after putting her daughter to sleep, Chen Li came to Li Ming’s house, finding the door closed which seemed strange to her.
Lately, every night Li Ming had been leaving his door open for her. As soon as she arrived, she would be swept into the bedroom without a moment’s delay.
Why was the door not open today?
A bit perplexed, Chen Li knocked, but received no response. She knocked again, waited a while before the door eventually opened, revealing Li Ming. He cradled Zhang Yuan in his left arm while he managed the door with his right.
“What….”
As Chen Li stepped in, Li Ming immediately shut the door behind her. She stared, dumbfounded, at Zhang Yuan who was nestled in Li Ming’s arms.
What was she there for again?
Why, upon entering…
…they were still in the living room.
Chen Li put down her drill, her face a little embarrassed, but led by Li Ming, she willingly entered the room.
Upon seeing Chen Li, Zhang Yuan also felt a bit embarrassed. She, who had been uninhibited until now, suddenly became slightly restrained, her face flush as she closed her eyes.
However, remembering the secret Li Ming had just shared, she felt content. In Li Ming’s heart, she and them were not on the same level!
