Chapter 3 Superpower [Multiple Choice]

After observing the Earth Spirit Fruit, Zhang Yanhang directly crossed the road to the side of the female university student who was picking at her feet. Normally, he would abide by traffic signals, but time was currently paused, so the conditions for following the rules didn't really exist.

When he actually arrived beside this university student, Zhang Yanhang noticed a problem. The odds were that this female student was from the same university as him because he saw a very familiar-looking campus card in her skirt pocket, complete with her photo, class, and student ID number printed on it.

Therefore, unless this university student was carrying a fake campus card, there was a ninety-nine percent chance she was a fellow alumnus from the same university as Zhang Yanhang.

Perhaps you're wondering why Zhang Yanhang would start by looking under someone's skirt, but that's just a minor detail, not worth fussing over or investigating deeply.

Of course, if you insist on a thorough investigation, then Zhang Yanhang can only give a straightforward answer: it was a common pink color with lace trim.

For many people, the disgust induced by picking one's feet depends on the person's attractiveness, and Zhang Yanhang shared this view. He rated the female university student's attractiveness, and if a perfect score was one hundred, she'd probably score around eighty or ninety.

Her skin was fair and smooth, free of acne or blemishes and large pores; her features were balanced and harmonious, without overly prominent aspects, such as narrow eyes, bulbous noses, or underbites. She wore her hair in a simple ponytail, stood roughly between 1.7 and 1.8 meters tall, and sported a rather prosperous figure, one could say she was curvaceous.

So, if the girl was this level of beauty, Zhang Yanhang could forgive her for the bad habit of picking at her feet.

Of course, these weren't the key points; the key point was that she was picking at her feet. Judging by her hand movements, she didn't seem to be very skillful at it, and the flesh-colored tights she wore on her lower body somewhat hindered the display of her foot-picking skills.

After observing the female university student for a moment, Zhang Yanhang poked both her cheek and the sole of her foot. What should have been a soft, delicate cheek and silky, velvet-like stocking now both conveyed a strange sensation similar to hard plastic.

This was another apparent side effect of the Time Pause, besides Zhang Yanhang's own body and the clothes on his back, everything he touched, whether people, the asphalt road, or even an Immortal ball, gave back a feedback sensation akin to hard plastic.

This caused many of Zhang Yanhang's initially bold thoughts to die before they could unfold, which could be considered unlucky from one perspective, but lucky from another.

"After observing the last two options, should I go back to the apartment complex to check out the first option, the wallet?" After a brief hesitation, Zhang Yanhang abandoned this idea since he found it too troublesome. Time may be paused, but the difference between several kilometers and several tens of meters was still significant.

The Earth Spirit Fruit and the foot-picking female university student were just a few steps away, but heading to the apartment complex was clearly more than just a few steps—even if he ran there, it would probably take about ten minutes. A mere five hundred yuan was certainly not worth such an expenditure of energy.

Only if retrieving this wallet could trigger subsequent events, like if it belonged to a wealthy woman, and returning it might lead to an acquaintance with her—especially if she was fond of robust and powerful male university students like himself—perhaps he could leverage this opportunity to become a gloriously kept man.

After all, Zhang Yanhang was an Awakener and his Constitution was far above average, so even if this wealthy woman liked to play with wealthy woman's pleasure balls or pleasure nails, his body could probably handle it—well, most likely.

Or suppose it was a super powerful person's wallet, returning it could lead to them appreciating his honesty and decent Cultivation Talent, possibly taking him as a disciple.

But these potential events were mere fantasies and wishful thinking on Zhang Yanhang's part; they were impossible because if such good things were likely to happen, the options would surely mention them to some degree. But since there was no such hint in the options, it meant it was really just a simple case of five hundred yuan and a wallet.

Hence, after observing the Earth Spirit Fruit and the foot-picking female university student, Zhang Yanhang had to make his choice. Although he really wanted to shout 'I want them all', sadly, superpowers didn't allow it. Even though his superpower was indeed named "Multiple Choice," regrettably, he could only make a Single Choice at present.

Zhang Yanhang felt that the reason for this situation was probably because his power was too weak to utilize the full capabilities of "Multiple Choice." Maybe when he grew stronger in the future, he might be able to make multiple choices at once.

"I choose the second option, turn right, and pick the Earth Spirit Fruit." When Zhang Yanhang made his decision, he was immediately transported back to his original position before the Time Pause, maintaining the same posture as before.

Yes, this was another feature of the Time Pause that came with Multiple Choice—unless it pertained to the selected option, everything else would remain unchanged after the Time Pause ended.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang had an urgent task to complete, an incredibly important one. Was it picking the Earth Spirit Fruit? No. What then? In an instant, he bent down with lightning speed to squash a female white mosquito whose whereabouts he had already known.

Indeed, killing the mosquito was a very important matter for Zhang Yanhang because the insect had already hovered close to his leg. If not dealt with, it would probably trouble him with itching for days after. Although he could relieve and heal the itch with Spiritual Power, it was better to handle matters that could be taken care of easily.

Once the mosquito affair was dealt with, Zhang Yanhang turned right, walked up to the already known location of the wall's flourishing apricot tree, and plucked the earthy-hued Earth Spirit Fruit. He casually wiped off the dust with a piece of paper before popping it straight into his mouth. After all, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure like that was definitely pesticide-free, and eating it directly shouldn't cause any problems.

Being the size of a thumb, Zhang Yanhang only chewed it a few times before swallowing it. The Earth Spirit Fruit turned into a Warm Current that rapidly flowed through his entire body, and then, that was it—there was no other reaction. Yep, that was all to it.
