"Brother Liang, is Liu Feifei alright?"
Zhao Kai stood at the entrance of the corridor on the thirty-second floor, about to lock the door.
Seeing Liang Yuan, he quickly asked about the situation.
Liang Yuan shook his head: "She’s fine now. And not just fine, she also awakened a mutant ability."
Zhao Kai was surprised, remembering that friendly little girl, he couldn’t help but show astonishment.
Liang Yuan nodded: "Let’s close the door first, we can talk inside."
Zhao Kai quickly locked the door and followed Liang Yuan to 3201.
In Liang Yuan’s house, everyone from 3202 was there.
Because Liang Yuan had hired Sister Wu to handle the fish and Granny Li to manage the flowerhouse, and promised to provide meals for them.
Given everything that had happened today, he simply had everyone come over for dinner.
Both households were at 3201, and Granny Li, Wu Qian, and Yang Mei were busy in the kitchen preparing dinner.
Little Caiyao was also in the kitchen, helping out.
In the house, only Ding Yan wasn’t in the kitchen.
As for Ding Yan, she was in Liang Yuan’s study, working on something, with the sound of a grinder buzzing inside.
Old Ma and Cai Zhi were talking in the living room, seemingly discussing the raft-making process.
As soon as Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai entered, they immediately caught the duo’s attention.
"Hey, Zhao Kai, what’s up with your hair?"
Both couldn’t help but laugh, taking turns teasing him.
Evidently, Zhao Kai’s non-mainstream ice-blue hair was quite eye-catching.
Zhao Kai awkwardly touched his hair, saying, "It was an accident."
Liang Yuan laughed: "Don’t tease him. Zhao Kai awakened a mutant ability, and his hair is a result of that."
"Huh? Awakening a mutant ability?"
Liang Yuan’s words stunned Cai Zhi and Old Ma, making them stand up suddenly.
With their mouths agape, they couldn’t help but inquire.
"What’s going on? Zhao Kai, how did you awaken a mutant ability? You weren’t injured, were you?" Cai Zhi couldn’t help but ask.
Old Ma quickly added: "Wasn’t awakening a mutant ability supposed to be risky? Did you need external stimuli? Zhao Kai, what kind of stimuli did you experience?"
Zhao Kai waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I wasn’t stimulated. It was Brother Liang who helped me..."
He looked at Liang Yuan, and Old Ma and Cai Zhi also couldn’t help but stare at him.
The commotion brought attention from the women in the kitchen, and even Ding Yan, who was studying weapons in the study, came out to check the situation.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Liang Yuan laughed: "It was luck. I discovered a mutated fruit."
He explained: "Before, Zhao Kai and I killed Liu Erlong, and Liu Erlong crushed his hand."
"In this situation, we can’t find a doctor. The only hope was for him to awaken a mutant ability to heal his hand."
"So I decided to give him the mutated fruit."
"Sorry for not discussing it with everyone."
Old Ma and the others finally understood.
Everyone quickly spoke up.
Old Ma said: "Liang Yuan, you don’t have to apologize. The mutated fruit was yours to begin with. You decide who to give it to."
Cai Zhi nodded: "Exactly, Old Ma is right. Why apologize to us? Besides, Zhao Kai’s hand was crushed by Liu Erlong. If the mutated fruit can heal his hand, it should be given to him first."
Everyone else also nodded, congratulating Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai couldn’t help but feel a warm current in his heart.
He felt this family was really wonderful.
After the great flood, it was the first time he felt such emotions.
Before joining Liang Yuan’s group, he had to be on guard against everyone.
Because anyone could kill over a piece of food.
Back then, he felt it was the darkest time.
But now, since Brother Liang took control of the building, the residents dared to go out again.
Nobody dared to rob and kill casually, and people felt safe enough to fish by the building.
Maybe they didn’t realize all this was brought by Brother Liang.
But Zhao Kai knew, all the peace and order were fought for by Liang Yuan and everyone together.
Being part of this group made him happy.
He wished Xiaoman were still here, how great would that be.
Zhao Kai’s smile gradually faded, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
At this moment, Ding Yan couldn’t help but ask: "Zhao Kai, what power did you awaken?"
Cai Zhi and Old Ma also became interested, asking quickly.
"Yeah, Zhao Kai, is your ability related to your hair?"
"Could it be that hair demon from the movies?"
"You know, the female demon whose hair can grow and bind others."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhao Kai couldn’t help but cry and laugh: "No, no, my ability is frost."
As he spoke, he demonstrated his ability to everyone.
He grabbed Old Ma’s teacup on the coffee table, and as frost emanated, the teacup instantly turned into ice!
This ability drew an astonished reaction from everyone.
"Wow, this ability is great, especially in this heat. If we can have cold drinks, it’ll be so convenient."
"Hey, Xiaozhao, with your power, we might not even need a refrigerator anymore."
"Right, Xiaozhao, you can make ice and sell it to other residents. They can use it to trade for food, or to keep their caught fish fresh."
"Wow, Yang Mei, that’s a fantastic idea. Xiaozhao, you’re going to make a fortune."
Liang Yuan stood by, dumbfounded.
Indeed, the wisdom of the people is boundless.
He had never thought about the economic value of Zhao Kai’s frost ability.
