The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 196 Accompanying Power

"I... I have saved countless humans, which cannot be measured by quantifiers like one or two."

"However, if you're asking yourself, I can answer you with confidence."

"That's right. I saved your life when you were a child. I gave you a bit of luck while you were young, and then I left that place."

Ah Yun spoke lightly, but to Li Can, it sounded like she had finally let go of the shackles of worry in her heart.

"So it really was you." In her dreams, Li Can always felt a strange sense of familiarity with the white ghost.

He was only convinced when he woke up and saw the gradually recovering garbled cloud after the toxins had been removed.

Li Can nodded, not directly asking about the gashapon machine he had, but instead using the opportunity to ask, "Opportunity? What opportunity?"

Ah Yun continues to change its form.

One moment it's a pure white cloud the size of a cushion, looking incredibly soft and easy to knead.

One moment he was a scholar in white robes, his long black hair cascading down his back like a waterfall, his head styled in an intricate bun that Li Can couldn't understand, secured firmly with a milky-white jade hairpin.

A slight smile appeared on his face when he was in human form, but he then pretended to be serious and resumed his solemn expression.

"The so-called opportunity is not actually like that... More accurately, every human being is born with an extremely outstanding talent, or rather, an innate power."

"Companion power?" Li Can was very curious about this new term, and he already had a vague idea in his mind.

"That's right," Ayun said with certainty. "This kind of symbiotic power is hidden very deeply. It will only become apparent when the world is in chaos or when humanity itself is threatened by unprecedented dangers."

"There are many people who are unable to unleash their innate potential in their entire lives."

"Another group of humans are fortunate enough to have encountered something at some stage in their lives that triggered its emergence."

"Throughout the thousands of years of human history, I have encountered many extraordinary talents, but in reality, they were just people whose innate abilities had been activated."

"This innate power is also divided into many types. Some are [wisdom] and [physical strength], some are [foresight], [psychic abilities], and [flight], and some are [turning lead into gold], [divine pen], and [creating the world]..."

"In short, there are all sorts of kinds, and I've seen some bizarre ones where someone's life force can be extended by the number of milk tea shops they own, achieving immortality..."

"But these things don't matter to me. No matter how strange the innate power of humans is, it is only derived from my body. No matter what it is, it cannot escape the concept limitations of Blue Star."

"Usually after I save someone, I will casually sprinkle a little bit of opportunity on that person to catalyze the appearance of their innate power as soon as possible."

"So that he won't be unable to save himself if he encounters a dangerous situation again."

"Many people have achieved considerable success in the human world after using the power of my companionship to grow through the opportunities I gave them. This is the fastest way for you humans to obtain social fame and status in this life."

As Ayun spoke, a smug look appeared on her face, and her eyes narrowed into two thin crescent moons as she smiled.

Li Can rested her chin on her hand, her eyes hidden in the shadows of her disheveled hair as she pondered deeply.

"So, it turns out that my innate power was activated by you when I drowned in the river."

Ah Yun explained it very clearly, and Li Can now understand what her gashapon machine ability was all about.

At first I thought,

Even the superpowers themselves were given to us by the white ghost back then. Now it seems that only the opportunity to catalyze them was there.

The reason I have the gashapon machine ability might be related to my family's toy store. When I was a child, I was most interested in gashapon machines because you could keep getting gashapon machines without inserting coins.

The feeling of opening blind boxes is incredibly tempting for children.

My sister, my childhood friends, and I would sneakily collect gashapon toys, and when our parents found out, we'd inevitably get a beating from both of us.

Since my innate power was activated when I was a child, it was related to gacha at that time.

His younger sister, Li Lan, was killed in an explosion after the zombie virus outbreak in the apocalypse. Her synergistic power was transformed into divine power.

This way, you can protect yourself and your parents' safety.

Li Can then briefly analyzed the other dungeon players he had encountered, such as Wang Defa, whose main companion power was underground escape.

Does that mean that during the catalysis period, he was besieged and pursued, and at that time he especially wanted to escape, even if it meant burrowing underground?

At such times, it is also very likely that it will transform into something like flying, agility, or moving in a phantom form.

Both are very possible.

Zhou Ye, who had always worked as a clerk and secretary, needed to receive a lot of information and listen to his superiors' instructions. He was eager to know more, so he was able to eavesdrop through the plants and trees...

He must really like flowers, plants, and nature.

Having grasped the general situation, Li Can felt a sense of relief and clarity.

Although each person has only one innate power, in his view, the direction of the ability created varies greatly depending on when it is activated.

If this thing is controllable... wouldn't that mean that all those ordinary people on Earth who haven't awakened yet are priceless treasures, undiscovered gems?

Conversely, those who awakened their superpowers early on, including myself, are already set in their ways and have little prospect of further advancement.

"Hiss... This is interesting." Li Can couldn't help but sigh.

However, Li Can is already quite satisfied with his current innate power.

Then again, isn't this just like the random blind boxes I loved most when I was a kid...?

Now he's truly living a life of "random blind boxes" every day in the apocalypse.

He dared to believe that if his parents had bought blind boxes made from small cardboard boxes from the shelves of their toy store back then...

His special ability might now be something like opening blind boxes to unlock special abilities or supplies on shelves in the consciousness space.

"Yes, but what's wrong with you? You already possessed innate power when you were this tall, so why are you still so ordinary? It shouldn't be like this..."

As Ayun spoke, she used her hand to measure the height of her legs.

That's probably how tall Li Can was when she was a child.

Upon hearing this, Li Can's lips twitched a few times.

Isn't this all because that white-haired old Taoist priest forcibly sealed off his innate power after taking 600,000 yuan...?

"Ah Yun, so once you awakened that innate power, can it be shut down again by someone else?"

"This... I haven't researched it, but why would someone who's perfectly fine deliberately shut down their symbiotic power channel? Isn't that stupid?"
