Valuable Duo

These abilities are simply useless, the four losers' abilities.

Poisonous excrement? Who would eat your feces?

Bullet attraction? A hail of bullets would turn you into a sieve.

Farting might have some use for worm repellent.

As for invisibility in the dark, what good is that?

"Get out of here, you bunch of losers!" Xiao Feng kicked their backsides.

The four of them scrambled and ran out, expressing their gratitude.

"Sir, are you okay?" Xiao Feng turned to the old man.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way! Sir, I've brought someone for you!" Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously.

"Someone for me?" The old man was immediately puzzled.

Then, Xiao Feng went outside and brought the old man to where Gao Ya was hiding.

"Come out!" Xiao Feng shouted inside.

The next moment, a girl cautiously walked out of the abandoned shed.

When the old man saw the girl clearly, he was instantly stunned. After recognizing the girl's appearance, he couldn't hold back his tears, shouting excitedly, "Ya'er?"

"Grandpa!" The moment Gao Ya came out, her emotions overwhelmed her, and she ran toward her grandfather crying.

The two hugged each other in this apocalyptic world.

Before this moment, they could hardly believe they would ever see their loved ones again.

"Grandpa, I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Ya'er, my dear granddaughter, I also thought I'd never see you again!"

After a long while, the two of them wiped away their tears and came before Xiao Feng.

"Young man, I really don't know how to thank you!" The old man knelt before Xiao Feng and Gao Ya followed suit without hesitation.

"No need, please get up!" Xiao Feng quickly helped the elderly man to his feet.

"Are you trying to shorten my life? I can't bear the weight of an elder like you kneeling!"

"You saved my granddaughter, and just now you saved my life. You are our savior, and you deserve my bow!"

The old man said seriously.

The three of them returned to the house. Xiao Feng looked at the room that had been ransacked by the four men earlier and said, "Sir, this place is really unsafe. If I had been just one step later, you might have been in mortal danger!"

"You know, if something had happened to you just now, how would Ya'er live in the future?"

"You're right!" The old man heaved a deep sigh, still shaken by the ordeal. "I used to think Ya'er had been infected and turned into a zombie, but now that I've seen her, I have hope and faith to keep on living!"

"Sir, how about this: you and Ya'er can move to my place. It's absolutely safe there!" Xiao Feng suggested again.

This time, the old man fell into silence. After a while, he glanced at his granddaughter and nodded firmly.

"I don't have the power to protect my granddaughter. If you don't mind, we'll move to your place!"

"That's wonderful!" Xiao Feng smiled. "My place is safe, and we'll have more company!"

"Alright, let's pack up and move everything from here!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Feng then used his system space to store all the food and vegetables from the greenhouse.

When they returned to the restaurant, Xiao Feng arranged rooms for both the grandfather and granddaughter. When the old man saw the backyard of Xiao Feng's place, he immediately offered to help with the planting without being asked.

"Young man, my granddaughter and I can't just eat and drink for free. From now on, we'll take care of the land in your backyard, and I promise you can trust us to look after it!"

"Haha! That's wonderful!" Xiao Feng was delighted; this saved him the trouble of asking.

"But, sir," Xiao Feng continued, "my seeds are very special. With you doing the planting, I can rest even easier. You're a life-system Evolver, and you can shorten the growth cycle of plants, which will significantly increase my yield in the future!"

"No problem! Leave it to me," the old man confidently assured.

What surprised Xiao Feng was that even Gao Ya was a life-system Evolver.

"In fact, I awakened my Evolver ability back in the school dungeon, but I had to hide it from those combat Evolvers. I've been keeping it a secret all along."

Gao Ya finally confided her inner secret to Xiao Feng.

Now he understood why she was much calmer than the other female students. Evolvers tended to have a much stronger mental fortitude than regular people.

"My ability allows me to utilize the energy in my body to enhance the effects of anything, like..."

Gao Ya explained and then picked up a bun.

"Normally, we'd eat four buns, but after I apply my energy, eating two buns feels just as satisfying as eating four!"

With that, Gao Ya enveloped a bun in energy and handed it to Xiao Feng.

When Xiao Feng saw the information about the bun, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"This... this ability is simply amazing!"

He then looked at the Razorback Goat Bun, which had its effectiveness doubled.

Originally, a bun could only restore a small amount of energy. Now, with the added energy, it could actually replenish a large amount of energy.

"Oh my goodness, I'll have to increase the price of these buns in the future!" Xiao Feng exclaimed.

And it wasn't just buns. With Gao Ya's ability, all of Xiao Feng's dishes could have their effects doubled. So, of course, their prices would need to be increased accordingly.

Furthermore, Gao Ya's ability wasn't limited to food. It could also be applied to the plants that Grandpa Gao was growing. If energy was applied, then wouldn't the yield and effects double?

A combination of the grandfather and granddaughter would lead to a doubling of the yield. Xiao Feng hadn't expected to gain such a valuable duo today.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Feng was determined to treat them well.

After settling the grandfather and granddaughter, Xiao Feng briefly explained the basic situation of the restaurant to them. However, due to An Ran and Annie being zombies, he advised them not to get too close for the time being.

But living under the same roof, Xiao Feng believed that An Ran and Annie would eventually develop a bond with them.

Lying on his bed, Xiao Feng slowly took out a blue, crystal-clear third-tier crystal core from his pocket. This blue third-tier crystal core was obtained from Principal Wang today.

After shooting Principal Wang, Xiao Feng retrieved his crystal core.

Mental-type crystal cores were not common, so Xiao Feng decided to keep them hidden.

"If I could use other people's abilities as my own, that would be amazing!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but think. Principal Wang's psychic evolution ability was truly enticing.

If he could absorb it, it would be a dream come true.

"I wonder if I could consume the crystal core like a zombie and absorb the energy inside," Xiao Feng pondered, a daring idea emerging in his mind.
