"Newton is dead, the badass must rise."
Shen Mochen thought to himself, as he gently rubbed his fingers together, the tiny wound almost instantly healed.
However, just as he was feeling shocked and ecstatic inside, suddenly a hand hit his shoulder.
Shen Mochen jumped in surprise and looked up to see Xia Qingrou.
So his view of Xia Qingrou changed. He originally thought she was just a silly girl, but who would have thought, she was a true intellectual!

As expected of a family where everyone is a high-achieving student from National University; this insight is not something Han Muxue could ever fathom!
"Honey, my legs are sore, can you heal them for me~" Xia Qingrou cooed as she sat beside Shen Mochen, stretching out a pair of long legs clad in black stockings, looking pitifully at him.
Shen Mochen thought to himself what do your sore legs have to do with me, and you want to use my superpower for such a trivial matter? But, considering the black stockings, no, I mean... considering the inspiration she had just provided, Shen Mochen did not reject her outright.
"Where does it hurt?"
Xia Qingrou pointed at her ankle, looking pitiful.
Without saying much, Shen Mochen grabbed her ankle, and his superpower activated.
Xia Qingrou let out a coquettish cry, and her whole body flung onto Shen Mochen.
Not far away, Liu Chaoyan politely looked away. Han Muxue clicked her tongue, seeming to inwardly curse Xia Qingrou for her brazen behavior in broad daylight but looked away as well.
As Xia Qingrou flung herself onto him, Shen Mochen felt as if he was holding warm, fragrant, and soft jade, the sweet scent of citrus cleansing his nostrils.
"Honey~"
A sweet, breathy voice rang in Shen Mochenâs ear, soft and muddled, almost delirious, hardly there.
Shen Mochen shivered. His earlobes turned faintly red, and his body slowly grew warm.
Are you seducing me at such an inappropriate time, or do you get excited only when others are watching?
The complaints in Shen Mochenâs mind couldnât block the excitement that arose instinctively.
When Yin Huailian was still around, she would sometimes do the same thing, and it usually signaled the start of a great battle.
"Can you find a way to heal Xuexueâs leg?" Xia Qingrou continued to lightly nibble on Shen Mochenâs ear.
Shen Mochen was stunned, and the lustful thoughts that were stirring in him immediately cooled down.
"...Iâm sorry, I canât," Shen Mochen said softly.
"What about later?"
What are you talking about? Even if my power hasnât reached its peak right now and there is still much room for growth, the basic mechanism of my superpower wonât change.
My ability is to accelerate the bodyâs healing, it can only heal wounds that the body is capable of healing on its own. Even if my superpower reaches its peak in the future, there wonât be a qualitative change.
Isnât your question nonsense?
"Later, it probably still wonât be possible," Shen Mochen said.
He didnât make his words too definite, after all, he still had sealed superpowers in the Big Dipper. Of course, he also knew that to Xia Qingrouâs ears, what he said was virtually no different from "absolutely not possible."
"I see," Xia Qingrou said.
Shen Mochen could see the expression on her face by the time he was able to see her clearly. She wore a beaming smile as she stood up.
"Iâm much better now, thanks, hubby!" Xia Qingrouâs face showed no signs of irregularity, as if the earlier question was nothing but casual conversation.
Shen Mochen looked down at his brother, relieved that Xia Qingrou hadnât just used that to tease him.
After calming himself, Shen Mochen quickly restored his superpower, but didnât show off, and chatted normally with Liu Chaoyan and the others.

While Shen Mochen was "restoring his superpower," Liu Chaoyan wasnât idle either. She imparted a lot of battle experience to Shen Mochen, even though he had mostly heard it from Cai Yuncui before.
Half an hour later, Shen Mochen said he had completely recovered his superpower, and Liu Chaoyan had Shen Mochen coordinate with Xia Qingrou and then with herself at last.
The outcome pleased everyone. With Shen Mochen as their super battery, they could almost always keep their superpowers fully charged on the battlefield without worrying about power depletion.
However, after several rounds of coordination, it was decided that Shen Mochen would stay with Han Muxue from then on. For one thing, it was safest by Han Muxueâs side to protect him. Secondly, Han Muxueâs strong control ability, by extending her superpower duration, would make it much easier for the others to dispose of the monsters.
As dusk fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, the world became tranquil.
"Letâs go back for dinner first and come back for some training tonight!" Liu Chaoyan suggested. "The monsters wonât kindly let us sleep in peace; night battles are common."
Xia Qingrou smiled, placing her hand on Shen Mochenâs shoulder with a light cough, "I think heâs progressing quite fast. Iâll bring him here tonight; you all donât need to come!"
Liu Chaoyan pondered for a moment and winked at Xia Qingrou, "Alright, thatâs fine, but Xia sister, donât neglect public duties for personal reasons."
"Do I look like that sort of person?" Xia Qingrou looked indignantly righteous.
Hey, hey, hey, where are you planning to take me alone late in the night? Shen Mochen thought to himself mockingly, but then again, it seemed like a good chance to steal a kiss from her.
"Then letâs head back," Liu Chaoyan said with a smile, beckoning everyone to leave.
"Isnât the captain flying back directly?" Shen Mochen asked.
With a slight smile, pure as a white lotus, Liu Chaoyan said, "Heading home together after a victory, thatâs what true comrades are!"
Shen Mochen was momentarily taken aback, his eyelids drooping.
Then again, he remembered seeing Xiao Xingshuang refusing to go back with anyone else yesterday.
"Are you thinking about Xingshuang?" Xia Qingrou somehow read Shen Mochenâs thoughts, "Actually, Xingshuang isnât that cold. Itâs because the giant she summons is right above her head, a close-combat type. So after every fight with the monsters, sheâs drenched in blood. Sheâs afraid of getting us and the car dirty, thatâs why she walks alone."
Liu Chaoyan also sighed, "Just to make it clear, I donât have a cleanliness fetish. Iâve told her I donât mind, but Xingshuang is more considerate."
"Let her be, why talk about her? Sheâs just got that quirky personality!" Han Muxue grumpily glanced at the branded watch studded with diamonds on her wrist, "Letâs hurry back, the TV drama Iâm following is about to air!"
I reckon your personality isnât much better with such a sharp tongue and foul mouth. You wouldnât be as popular as Xiao Xingshuang if you were in any other team, Shen Mochen mused.
The four returned to their dorm to eat self-heating rice and military rations. Actually, the dishes were quite abundant; they were all in meal packets, ready to eat after heating, but the taste wasnât that great, nowhere as good as fresh food. The sensation they gave was also not as clean and nutritious as fresh meals.
Shen Mochen casually ate a bit while Han Muxue ate and watched her TV series.
In Shen Mochenâs view, it was a dull soap opera, with a love triangle and melodramatic sufferingâall of which he managed to grasp after briefly watching.
It seemed to be about two men vying for one woman. Male Lead One liked Female Lead One, but Female Lead One was engaged to Male Lead Two. However, Male Lead One seemed to have had some incidents with Female Lead One in their childhood... that was pretty much the situation.
The show was now at a point where Male Lead One, in unrequited love, was crying his heart out in the pouring rain.
"Thatâs kind of pitiable..." Liu Chaoyan, finished with her meal, also sat next to Han Muxue engrossed in the show, sighing softly in sympathy for the protagonist.
It was surprising to see that Miss Liu Chaoyan had an interest in such soap operas.
"Anyway, in these TV dramas, the leads usually end up together," Shen Mochen commented, "Knowing the outcome, thereâs really no need to get so emotionally involved..."
"By that logic, youâll die sooner or later, why arenât you afraid?" Han Muxue glared at the buzzkill and gestured for him to leave, "Go on, go and train with Xia Qingrou!"
