I'm Jealous Of Myself Everyday (QT)

Chapter 51: I'm Jealous of Myself Every Day

*

Shuguang Base was the first large-scale base established in China. It is in a leading position in terms of both military strength and technology, and its rules and regulations are very comprehensive.

The base has various infrastructure facilities, including self-sufficient farms and livestock ranches. Residents can earn points through labor and exchange them for supplies to live in the base.

Of course, resources are scarce in the apocalypse, and working all day can only sustain the most basic daily life. For people with superpowers like Wei Ye, there is another way to earn a large number of points: join a superpowered team and carry out missions outside the city.

After packing their luggage, Wei Ye accompanied Xi Yuan to have his superpower tested. When the person in charge saw the results, he became extremely excited, "S-rank! It's actually an S-rank superpower!"

Wei Ye asked, "S-rank?"

“Mr. Wei, you have an A-level ability, which is already very high in the base.” The person in charge suppressed his excitement and explained, “And S-level is the highest level of ability that has been measured so far, which means that your strength and growth potential are both top-notch. Our Dawn Base has only measured three S-level abilities so far, and they are all leaders and pillars of the base.”

"I need to report this to my superiors immediately. There must be many special ability teams wanting to recruit Mr. Xi! You two are friends, so you must want to join the same team, right?"

The person in charge felt like he was watching a rising star, but to his surprise, the two people in front of him spoke at the same time: "No."

"Why?" the person in charge asked in surprise. "I guarantee that you two will receive the highest compensation!"

Xi Yuan said, "He doesn't leave the city to do missions."

"I'm not going?" Wei Ye asked, bewildered. Xi Yuan looked at him and said, "You're safer in the city. I'm fine on my own."

Wow, we really have to support him? Wei Ye smiled sweetly, "Okay."

The person in charge noticed the close relationship between the two and cautiously asked Wei Ye, "So, why are you against it?"

“He’s still injured,” Wei Ye said. “He can’t join the superpower team until he’s fully recovered.”

"Don't worry, that's not a problem." The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll report this to the higher-ups, and the base will take responsibility for Mr. Xi's injuries. All medical expenses will definitely be waived."

Wei Ye couldn't join the superpowered team, nor could he just sit at home doing nothing. In the end, he was assigned to provide water at the base.

After a night's rest, he prepared to go to work. Before he left, Xi Yuan stood behind him, silently watching him.

Wei Ye knew he was always incredibly bored, with nothing to do but sleep. After losing his memory, he was even more like a lost and aimless big cat.

"Ah, I almost forgot." He took out a small stack of points and handed it to Xi Yuan. "I've exchanged all our crystal cores for points. Use these to buy some nutritious food and get some rest at home."

"I feel better now and don't need to rest." Xi Yuan frowned slightly. If it weren't for Wei Ye's insistence, he would have already left the city to do a mission.

“No.” Wei Ye objected seriously. “Our current points are enough for us to live on for a while. You must recover from your injury before you go out.”

Xi Yuan remained silent.

"Did you hear me?" Wei Ye gently nudged his calf with his toe. "Don't just pay lip service, or I'll worry."

It was an intimate gesture, completely non-threatening, yet the soft touch made Xi Yuan tense up. The restraint in his eyes made him want to take a big step back, but he held back, his ears turning red.

Wei Ye went to the farm to irrigate the fields; the work was extremely tedious. He waved his hand to make it rain while pondering his task.

There were originally two targets in this world. Now one is dead... so there are still two.

Before Xi Yuan woke up, he asked 001, and the other was Professor Yan, whom he had met that day.

"I only saw his back, so I don't know if he's handsome or not," he thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came soon. Not long after he started working, someone came to find him and introduced himself as someone from the base's research institute.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Wei Ye stopped what he was doing.

The researcher asked, "You registered as a student at B University's School of Medicine. What year are you in?"

Wei Ye said, "Junior year."

Have you ever taken anatomy classes?

Wei Ye mentioned that the person explained his purpose: the research institute was short-staffed and wanted to ask him for help.

"Then the work here..." Wei Ye looked at the farm manager with difficulty, who seemed serious and responsible.

The farm manager said, "The research institute has priority in transferring personnel. You can go there; someone else will take over the work here."

Wei Ye then followed the researcher.

The researcher's name is Han Yao. During our conversation on the way, when the topic of the research institute came up, the renowned Professor Yan inevitably came up.

Han Yao spoke with great admiration, “Professor Yan is an expert in the field of neurobiology. He has been researching the new superpowers that have emerged in the human body since the apocalypse. The current system for determining the level of superpowers was proposed by him.”

Wei Ye asked, "I heard he has a psychic ability, is it the kind that involves mind control?"

"Professor Yan can perform mind control, but he is not a combatant," Han Yao said with a smile. "Human beings do not yet understand enough about superpowers. Some superpowered individuals use their powers improperly, which can cause superpower riots, mental disorders, and other situations. Professor Yan controls and guides these situations."

It sounds like it's similar to Weiye, capable of attacking, but mainly a support type.

Han Yao concluded: "Professor Yan has a very charismatic personality; you'll see when you meet him."

"I see." Wei Ye blinked gently and said, "Looking forward to it."

On the operating table in the laboratory, lies the corpse of an adult male.

This is the corpse of a superhuman who was bitten by a zombie while on a mission and did not survive.

Wei Ye changed into a new uniform. His job was to record data, and he stood aside holding a folder, waiting.
