Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 158: Mastering Teleportation!

Alex checked the time, it was almost 1 o'clock. He had instructed the corpse collection team not to let his cousin return before 1 o'clock. The time was approaching, and his cousin should be coming back for lunch.

"Tang Wanxiu, tidy up a bit. Cousin is about to come back, let's get ready for lunch," Alex said to his blushing sister-in-law with satisfaction and happiness in his eyes.

Tang Wanxiu quickly got up, a bit flustered as she assisted Alex in dressing. Although she had already taken this step, the guilt towards her husband remained strong.

Reminded by Alex, she became anxious. If her husband saw this, how could she face him?

Allowing Tang Wanxiu to tenderly dress him, Alex took out a walkie-talkie and said, "Bring today's lunch to my cousin's apartment."

Soon, the well-prepared lunch was delivered by a few maids to the apartment, neatly arranged on the dining table.

After Alex and his sister finished dressing and came out of the bedroom, Xiao Mu also returned happily.

"My dear! Look at what I got today!" Xiao Mu's excited voice came in, "The members of the corpse collection team praised me for my performance. We raided a big mall today, and I specifically brought you your favorite jade bracelet! The price tag on it is over ten thousand..."

His voice abruptly stopped.

Xiao Mu saw his wife and his cousin sitting harmoniously at the dining table, waiting for him.

After a slight pause, he realized the situation.

Xiao Mu hurriedly and respectfully nodded and bowed to Alex, saying, "Alex is here too! Look at you, amidst your busy schedule, you still remember us! You specially came to see us today... We don't know how to thank you!"

Alex's lips slightly curved into a faint smile, "Cousin, it seems like you had a big harvest today? Carrying such a large bag of things."

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Mu proudly took out the loot from the package, which consisted of precious jewelry, clothing, as well as some packaged food and daily necessities. "The captain of the corpse collection team, Captain PiPi, praised me today! Although I didn't kill any zombies, my performance was brave today!

I believe that as long as I can continue training with them, I will definitely become a powerful esper in the future! I'll surely be able to help Alex!"

As Xiao Mu spoke, he carefully took out a jade bracelet, well-packaged in a box, from his pocket and tenderly handed it to his wife. "Wanxiu, you've been with me for so many years, and I don't have any great abilities. You've suffered a lot over the years. This bracelet is the one you liked before. At that time, we couldn't afford to buy it. Now, I finally managed to get it for you..."

Xiao Mu handed the bracelet to his wife, completely unaware of the deep blush on her face and the shy look in her eyes.

"Thank you, Xiao Mu... Come, please sit! It's not early, and we've all been waiting for you to have dinner!" Tang Wanxiu said somewhat awkwardly.

Xiao Mu didn't notice these anomalies at all. He happily sat down beside Tang Wanxiu and began vividly recounting the exciting experiences of the day.

From how cleverly they entered the supermarket in the mall to their valiant fighting against the enemies, the storytelling continued without interruption. However, he failed to notice that his wife was looking at his cousin with a charming expression, her eyes filled with a sense of spring.

Underneath the table, a battle had already erupted...

"Mmm~~" With a muffled groan from Tang Wanxiu, cousin, who was enthusiastically narrating, suddenly turned to look strangely at his wife. Seeing her flushed face and trembling body, he immediately asked with concern, "Darling, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Alex is here today. If you're not feeling well, let Xiao Yi take you to the city to see a doctor..."

Unable to endure any longer due to Alex's teasing, sister gave her husband a disdainful look and said, "Look at yourself, dirty and smelly. It's uncomfortable to even eat with you. I didn't say anything while we were eating, but now that you've finished, go wash up already!"

"Ah! Ah! Right, right! How could I forget! I still have zombie blood on me! Alex, please sit here.

I'll go take a shower!"

Saying so, cousin chuckled and trotted into the bathroom.

The moment Xiao Mu entered the bathroom, Tang Wanxiu couldn't wait any longer and pounced on Alex. Alex carried Tang Wanxiu to the door of the showering cousin and pressed her against the door.

Listening to the sound of water inside...

By the time Xiao Mu finished his shower, Alex had already left.

...

"Ding dong! Advanced esper burial completed!"

"Increase by 268 doomsday coins."

"Gain 13 points of Mental Attribute."

"Acquire Skill: Novice Teleportation."

"Level 3 burial ground has been emptied, please bury again."

With the electronic synthesized sound, the burial of the teleportation esper's body was finally completed! Besides gaining 13 points of mental attribute, the body that had been buried for 7 hours produced only one novice skill!

Alex manipulated the skill panel with his mind, selecting Novice Teleportation.

[Novice Teleportation: Advanced esper skill, a very rare spatial ability!]

[After mastering this skill, teleportation is possible.]

[Teleportation distance is directly proportional to the skill controller's mental attribute.]

[Teleportation frequency is directly proportional to the skill controller's mental attribute.]

[The use of teleportation skill will consume mental power, and the consumed mental power can be recovered.]

[Price: 3500 doomsday coins.]

"So expensive!!" After reading the introduction of Novice Teleportation, Alex couldn't help but exclaim. This Novice Teleportation was a bit too costly! The burial time was already long, and now the price was ridiculously high.

However, Alex didn't hesitate.

"System, I want to learn Novice Teleportation!"

[Novice Teleportation selected, conditions met...]

[Consuming 3500 doomsday coins...]

[Currently learning...]

The enlightening feeling once again filled his entire body. With the experience from the previous times, Alex remained calm, gently closing his eyes, feeling the energy filling every part of his limbs.

Then, a segment about the usage of teleportation appeared in his mind. When he completely mastered the teleportation skill, Alex suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of light, and his figure had already appeared on the city wall more than 200 meters away.

"With the current mental attribute, the maximum teleportation distance is over 200 meters!" Alex calculated the distance, approximately over 200 meters.

This distance was much stronger than that of the previous teleportation esper, proving that the same spell, when used by people with different mental attribute values, had significantly different effects.
