Chapter 212 New Superpower

“You can choose for yourself.” After saying that, Lin Bai quietly waited for Xu Zhengfei to make his choice.

He didn’t say that on purpose to scare Xu Zhengfei.

If Xu Zhengfei didn’t trust him, then he would really do what he said. He would leave immediately and not interfere with what would happen next.

Although the system had given Lin Bai a special ability, it hoped that he could use it to prevent some bad things from happening.

However, Lin Bai didn’t have the habit of bootlicking.

He could use his ability to give some reminders and stop them.

However, if the other party didn’t appreciate his help, Lin Bai would never rush to beg for his acceptance.

In the room, Xu Zhengfei was in a battle of wits.

On one hand, he felt that what Lin Bai said was very reasonable.

On the other hand, he was indeed frightened by the cruel rules of the Hunter game.

During this period of time, although he had never taken the initiative to snatch other people’s superpowers, he was extremely afraid looking at the increasing number of deaths in the Hunter game app every day.

Every day, he lived in fear, afraid that in the next second, he would become a death figure in the app.

This fear was almost driving him crazy. “Forget it. Instead of living in fear, why don’t we give it a try?”

Xu Zhengfei finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and opened the door.

Lin Bai smiled and said to him, “Congratulations. You made the right decision.”

Xu Zhengfei carefully took a few steps back and distanced himself from Lin Bai.

He asked, “Are you really here to help me? Then how are you going to help me?” Lin Bai walked into the room and closed the door. Then, he calmly replied, “It’s very simple. Give me your superpower.”

“This way, you won’t be a player anymore. You won’t have to worry about other players sneaking up on you.”

Xu Zhengfei became more and more vigilant. He even assumed the posture of being ready to attack at any time.

“Don’t think that I don’t know! If I give you my superpower, I’ll be eliminated! All eliminated players will die!”

Lin Bai said calmly, “Yes, you’re right. The rules of the game are that only one person can live.Except for the players who advance to the next level, everyone else will be killed.” “Then you can choose to fight for it and try your best to become the one who advances to the next level.Do you think you can do it?”

There was no hint of mockery, just a simple question.

The imposing manner that Xu Zhengfei had forcefully endured was instantly crushed by this question.

How could he not have thought of becoming the person who advanced to victory?

However, he knew that he simply could not do

He did not have the courage to kill. Nor did he have the confidence that he would not be killed by others.

All he could do was to try his best to hide himself and try his best to live as long as he could.

However, he really couldn’t bear the mental torture of living in fear every second.

“If… I mean if, I give my superpower to you, can you not kill me?”.

Xu Zhengfei asked carefully. Lin Bai nodded. “Of course.”

Xu Zhengfei asked again, “Then what do you have to make me believe that you’re not lying?” Lin Bai smiled and asked in return, “Since you know that you don’t have the ability to live to the end and become a player, sooner or later, your superpower will be snatched away by others. What makes you so sure that others will be more lenient than me?”

Xu Zhengfei was rendered speechless by the question.

That’s right. Even if he didn’t hand over his superpower to Lin Bai, it was only a matter of time before it was snatched away by other players.

At that time, it might not be as easy to negotiate as it was now.

Compared to other unknown players, Xu Zhengfei was more willing to trust Lin Bai in front of him.

At the very least, Lin Bai seemed to be quite kind. Moreover, up until now, he had not shown any signs of aggression towards him.

“Alright then. I’m willing to give my superpower to you.”

Xu Zhengfei finally made a decision.

When he said that, he even felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

The nightmare that had been troubling him for so long was finally coming to an end.

He couldn’t help but say from the bottom of his heart,”Thank you.”

Lin Bai silently held his hand, and the pendant on his wrist touched Lin Zhengfei’s body.

In a flash of white light, Lin Bai heard the system Notification sound in his mind.

[Ding, the host has successfully absorbed the ability ‘sensing’. Do you want to convert this ability into system energy?] Lin Bai did not have the chance to answer the system’s question. Instead, he asked Xu Zhengfei,”What is your ability?”

Xu Zhengfei answered honestly, “If I activate my ability, I can sense the location of all the players in the country. But correspondingly, they can also sense me.”

“If I don’t activate this superpower, others won’t be able to sense me. Even if they see me face to face, they won’t realize that I’m a player.”

Lin Bai thought to himself, ‘No wonder I didn’t sense anything when I saw him just now. So that’s the reason.’

The rules of the game mentioned that players could sense each other, so as long as they shortened the distance to a certain extent, they could sense each other’s existence.

Xu Zhengfei’s superpower was basically like a super powerful locator with a shield.

“Have you used this superpower before?” Lin Bai asked him.

Xu Zhengfei nodded. “Yes.”

“When I was first selected, I used it out of curiosity. Then, the nearby players immediately sensed it. I was so scared that I turned off my superpower to escape. I almost died at that time.”

“After that, I never dared to use it again. I kept it off, thinking that I could live a day at a time.”

Lin Bai asked, “Then, how did you feel when you used it before?”

Xu Zhengfei recalled carefully and answered, “How should I put it… it’s hard to describe that feeling. It was as if the entire map of the Dragon Kingdom was imprinted in my mind all of a sudden.Then, I can clearly sense which provinces and regions have players.”

“If I focus all my attention on a certain express delivery, I can even sense it more accurately. Even if the other party stays on that street, I can accurately locate him.”

Lin Bai nodded. “That’s good.”

Then, Lin Bai said to the system with his mind:

“No conversion, I want to keep this ability.”

[Ding, Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ability ‘sensing’.] Xu Zhengfei asked carefully,”I’ve told you everything I know, and I’ve given my ability to you. I should be safe in the future, right?”

“Uh, what I mean is, am I safe for the time being before I decide to become a player?”

Lin Bai said, “I’m sorry to tell you, not necessarily.” “If my speculation is correct, the creator behind the scenes has been continuously killing those players who have lost their abilities.”
