The End of the World: Start with a Book, All Superpowers Depend on Reading

Time passed, the sun rose slowly, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the desk, but it still couldn't stop Wang Mingyang from reading attentively.

[Ding! Detected that the host is familiar with "The Fundamentals of Metallurgy", extracting the A-level supernatural power "Metal Control" fragment +1, Metal Control Supernatural Power: 7/8. Reward reading value: 80 points. ]

After several hours of continuous study, Wang Mingyang was only one fragment away from obtaining the A-level "Metal Control" supernatural power.

And his reading value at this moment: 13061 points.

Raising his head and stretching a big lazy waist, Wang Mingyang turned his head and looked out the window. It was already 10:15 on May 26, 2035.

Less than two hours before the end of the world!

He found two bags of pig's trotters and started to chew them. He opened "The Fundamentals of Metallurgy" again. Wang Mingyang pondered the knowledge in his mind and read it seven times in a row. Although he still had many questions, he had a feeling that he only needed to read it carefully again and answer some questions in his mind to extract the last supernatural power fragment.

Another hour passed, and the system prompt sounded as expected.

[Ding! Detected that the host is familiar with "Basics of Metallurgy", extracting A-level superpower "Metal Control" fragment +1, Metal Control superpower: 8/8. Reward reading value: 80 points. ]

"System, synthesize Metal Control!"

[Ding! Synthesis successful! Obtain A-level superpower "Metal Control", consuming 1000 reading points. Host's current reading value: 12141 points. May I ask if the host absorbs this superpower? ]

"Absorb!"

The command was issued quickly, and the familiar feeling came afterwards. The whole body was baptized again, and the fatigue of studying books for several hours was swept away.

Wang Mingyang stretched out his palm, his eyes drifted to the metal knife in the pen holder on the desk, and his palm was lightly lifted, and the knife slowly floated up.

The metal knife swayed and floated in front of him, and as Wang Mingyang's thoughts began to slowly twist and deform, it finally turned into a pool of silver liquid and gathered in the palm of his hand, and the plastic knife handle fell off.

The brain controlled the silver liquid to change continuously, and finally condensed into a sharp cone. Wang Mingyang's eyes flashed and he looked at a target hanging on the wall.

"Swoosh!"

The silver sharp cone in the palm of his hand turned into a silver light and pierced deeply into the red heart of the target.

The sharp cone directly penetrated the target and pierced into the thick wall.

Wang Mingyang's mind moved, and the sharp cone turned into silver liquid and slowly flowed out from the red heart of the target, and gathered into a small ball in his palm again.

"Very strong! Very strong!"

The power of this attack is comparable to that of a bullet, which means that Wang Mingyang only needs to prepare a few small metal balls to have a pistol with unlimited bullets.

After this whole set of operations, the energy consumption in his body is negligible.

Although "metal control" is only A-level, Wang Mingyang will not underestimate this ability at all.

Space cutting is very powerful, but based on his experience, metal control is definitely more cost-effective in the early stage of the end of the world.

He stretched out his other hand, and a black arc emerged from his palm, floating in the air with the silver ball on the left and right.

Wang Mingyang realized that space cutting and metal control consume the same energy.

And he can control this energy at the same time and release different abilities, which makes his combat power more than doubled instantly.

After absorbing two superpowers, the energy in his body at this moment is more than ten times that of the previous life when he awakened.

At the level of the previous life, I am afraid he can't even send out a space cut.

Before the end of the world, Wang Mingyang already had two superpowers, and there was an S-level time superpower waiting for him to extract and synthesize.

At this time, he was completely at the forefront of the entire Blue Star, leaving the people behind him several blocks away.

This wave... The advantage is mine!

Putting away the superpowers, eating a lot of the stockpiled food again, Wang Mingyang rewarded himself with a hot bath. The comfortable feeling was something he had never experienced in the five years of the end of the world, which made him groan...

Changing out of a set of clothes that were already sour and smelly, Wang Mingyang packed some food and water into his backpack, and stuffed a few books into it.

Carrying a heavy backpack, after two times of superpower absorption, his body has been strengthened three times that of an ordinary person. The backpack weighing more than ten kilograms is as light as a feather for him.

He glanced at his phone and the time came to 11:10 on May 26, 2035.

In another 50 minutes, the end of the world will come, but he doesn't want to wait at home anymore.

Wang Mingyang, who has two superpowers, is ready to go to the provincial library in the city center.

The system can be upgraded. At that time, the entire library will be scanned directly and all the books will be copied to the system. No matter where he goes, he can read the books at any time and obtain superpowers to strengthen himself.

"System, start upgrading!"

While opening the security door, Wang Mingyang calmly gave instructions in his mind.

[Ding! Consuming 10,000 reading points, the system starts upgrading. The host's current reading value: 2141 points. ]

Walking downstairs quickly, Wang Mingyang thought about the route in his memory. It takes about half an hour to take the subway from the rental house to the provincial library.

He still has time to do something else.

"Mingyang, are you going on a business trip on your day off?"

In the convenience store, Aunt Liu sat behind the counter as usual. Seeing Wang Mingyang coming out of the corridor with a bag on his back, she greeted him with a puzzled look.

"Aunt Liu, I'm going to the city." Wang Mingyang responded with a smile. Aunt Liu's familiar face made him feel a little sad.

The doomsday has come, and most humans have become unconscious zombies.

The Aunt Liu in front of him is someone Wang Mingyang has never seen in his previous life.

He only remembered that seven days after the end of the world, he went downstairs after awakening the supernatural bubble technique. He only saw the door of the convenience store wide open and a mess inside. He didn't know whether he had turned into a zombie or been eaten.

"Oh, go ahead! Xiao Yu'er asked about you last night!" Aunt Liu said with a smile on her face and a hint of meaning in her eyes.

"Xiao Yu'er?" Wang Mingyang was stunned. He seemed to have heard this name from Aunt Liu.

"Well, my daughter Su Yu, you have met her a few times. She is already a senior and she is going out for an internship during this period!"

"Uh..." A vague figure appeared in Wang Mingyang's mind, and he scratched his head and said, "I don't quite remember her appearance. She started internship so soon."

"Yes, come back early in the evening and have dinner together at home when you have time." Aunt Liu nodded, not caring that Wang Mingyang had forgotten her daughter.

"OK……"

Wang Mingyang could only nod. It was impossible for him to tell Aunt Liu at this time that he probably wouldn't be able to eat this meal.

Aunt Liu was usually very kind to him. Even if he sometimes defaulted on the rent, she never pressed him.

"Aunt Liu, before 12 noon, you'd better close the store for a while and rest inside. If there is any movement outside, don't come out!"

Wang Mingyang said to Aunt Liu, his expression extremely serious.

"Uh... why are they closed? Business is good when there are many people at noon!" Aunt Liu was puzzled.

"Aunt Liu, just listen to me and just close the door for an hour. You will know after 12 o'clock." Wang Mingyang said solemnly.

"Oh, you kid... okay! Aunt Liu will listen to you and just close the door to cook when she gets hungry." Aunt Liu smiled gently, with a hint of helplessness on her face.

Wang Mingyang usually leaves early and comes home late, and rarely talks. But she knows that this child is an orphan. He has been working hard in college and is a strong and kind boy.

Otherwise, his daughter obviously has some interest in him, and Aunt Liu has never objected.

"Well, Aunt Liu, I'm leaving first. See you when we have the chance!" Wang Mingyang turned around in relief and waved.

He had done the kind reminder he could, and the rest could only be left to Aunt Liu's own good fortune.
