She’s a sophomore at Magic City Institute of Abilities—why would she look at you? Dream on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hall, numerous Ability Users were murmuring; Xu Jingming only then remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this the very Goddess Jiang that Zhang Hao had begged him to get a signature photo of before leaving Jiangcheng?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since arriving in Magic City, Xu Jingming occasionally spoke with Zhang Hao on the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In idle chat, Zhang Hao always brought it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had grown so tired of it that he’d briefly looked into her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he’d never once encountered her at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the moment he stepped into the Wild Zone, he ran straight into her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, Zhang Hao’s taste isn’t bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, among all the women Xu Jingming had ever seen—in both his past and present life—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Song Qiuyun could rival this Jiang Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of looks, they were evenly matched: Song Qiuyun was enchanting, while Jiang Chu was cold and stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for figure, Xu Jingming felt Song Qiuyun had a slight edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Jiang Chu and her group walked straight upstairs, under the gaze of everyone in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supply base was a comprehensive building, offering not only equipment sales and purchases of beast materials and rare herbs,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but also lodging on higher floors, like a hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most Ability Users who didn’t return to the city chose to stay here at the supply base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, your Adventurer’s Permit is ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, here is your satellite smartwatch—it contains a map of the Wild Zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Jiang Chu and her group left, the female attendant walked over gracefully and handed him a black card and a smartwatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black card was the Adventurer’s Permit, recording basic information like name and rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming stored the permit safely and slipped the smartwatch onto his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a light tap on the screen, a map of the Wild Zone instantly projected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It detailed the activity levels of beasts in every zone and even marked their danger levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only for the outer regions—the deeper interior zones remained shrouded in mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even these marked areas weren’t entirely reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beasts could leave their territories at any time to hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, having something was better than nothing—it was at least a reference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the smartwatch worked, Xu Jingming politely thanked her and prepared to rise and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a voice called out to stop him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, kid, want pills?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to see a thin, middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned broadly. “You’re new to the Wild Zone, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t go in without pills—I’ve got all kinds. Want to take a look? Price is negotiable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pills?” Xu Jingming’s eyebrows lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pills were indeed essential for entering the Wild Zone—whether healing or antidote pills, they proved vital in emergencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your price for pills?” Xu Jingming asked, intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grade One healing pill: 20,000 per unit. Grade One antidote pill: 15,000 per unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grade Two is a bit pricier, but still reasonable—40,000 and 30,000 respectively.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing potential, the middle-aged man hurried to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? That’s not expensive at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming spoke casually, but his gaze grew cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pills were divided into nine grades, from One to Nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the grade, the stronger the effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Grade One pill usually cost at least 30,000 to 40,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this man’s prices were nearly half that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with his suspicious demeanor, Xu Jingming was certain: this was a fraud selling fake pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And likely a seasoned one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t target new recruits—those unfamiliar with the trade, just registering as Adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, my pills are famous for being cheap and effective.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man patted his chest confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was met with Xu Jingming’s mocking tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve scammed plenty of newbies with this trick, haven’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man froze; his smile vanished instantly. “You saw through me already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think?” Xu Jingming smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Very fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s eyes narrowed; his aura turned increasingly dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the first person to dare pull a stunt like this inside the supply base!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xu Jingming could respond, a sharp voice rang out from the side: “Zhao Chunlin! You’re scamming newbies again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a group of four—the speaker was a young woman in black combat armor, carrying a long black sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyebrows furrowed, she stormed over and stood protectively behind Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She furrowed her brows in anger and stormed over, shielding Xu Jingming behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her, Zhao Chunlin’s face darkened with wariness; he snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re lucky this time, kid. But don’t leave the supply base these next few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Xu Jingming a meaningful glance, dropped his threat, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk, getting targeted by Zhao Chunlin—this rookie’s in trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why pick Zhao Chunlin? Of all people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He just advanced to Second Stage Mid-Level recently. This kid’s only First Stage Upper-Level—he’s done for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard he advanced to Second Tier Mid-Grade not long ago; this little guy is only First Tier Upper-Grade—his outcome will likely be terrible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion drew attention from other Ability Users in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Source Water Supply Base, a Second Stage Mid-Level Ability User was already a formidable fighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming, barely First Stage Upper-Level, daring to clash with him, naturally became the object of pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you just provoke Zhao Chunlin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the murmurs, the young woman Wang Qian, still shielding Xu Jingming, frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for his reply, she went on: “Forget it. Since you’ve angered him, don’t leave the supply base for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting is banned here—he can’t touch you inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for the warning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xu Jingming didn’t care about Zhao Chunlin’s threat, this woman had not only intervened to stop his scam,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t care about Zhao Chunlin’s threats, this young lady not only spoke up to stop him from swindling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he reminded himself that Xu Jingming naturally held goodwill toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s no trouble—I was scammed by him myself, so I don’t want others to get tricked,” Wang Qian waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he’s just kept swindling people all this time, and no one stops him?” Xu Jingming frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah, Zhao Chunlin has ties to the black market—who dares to interfere with him?” Wang Qian sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the man wasn’t just connected to the black market—he also had links to the supply base’s high command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he have been swindling here for years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Qian, we should head back to our room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her teammates calling her, Wang Qian responded, and before leaving, she reminded him once more:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember, don’t leave the supply base during this time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s quite a kind-hearted girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Wang Qian and her teammates fade into the distance, Xu Jingming nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There aren’t that many good people in this world; those who’ve been caught in the rain won’t offer others an umbrella—they’ll smash yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, for instance, he was certain there were others in the hall who had been scammed before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when Zhao Chunlin approached him, not a single person spoke up to warn him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some may have even secretly rejoiced at his misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wang Qian had spoken up voluntarily—and like a mother hen, she’d shielded him behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her personality reminds me of my high school class monitor, Lin Qingyuan—both equally kind and gentle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming thought silently to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhao Chunlin, he had never taken him seriously from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a second-rank mid-tier ability user might not even survive the impact of his single shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Xu Jingming purchased a tactical backpack and enough fresh water and energy bars to last over a month through official channels at the supply base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also bought ten Grade-One healing pills, ten Grade-One detoxification pills, and one Grade-Two Blood-Explosion Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tactical backpack and supplies weren’t expensive—totaling less than 100,000—but the pills cost him 900,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Grade-Two Blood-Explosion Pill, worth 300,000—a true life-or-death artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After purchasing all the supplies, Xu Jingming rented a room at the supply base and slept for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, fully armed, he stepped out of the supply base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as Xu Jingming set foot onto the square before the supply base, a familiar voice rang out from nearby:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? I didn’t think you’d actually dare to come out.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1612,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3c86bbb87e7c54d9d36b66d0ca75d2a9793df435249c2c68965ca31cc656491b","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-63","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-61",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
