Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 278 - 378: Countless Gourmet Delicacies of the World

Chapter 278: Chapter 378: Countless Gourmet Delicacies of the World

From dawn till dusk, the bus sat lonely and still on the road.

Bai Yifan lay on the driver’s seat, surrounded by papers tossed all over the floor.

Countless conversions of various numbers.

Bai Yifan rubbed his messy hair, then silently took the book that could measure intelligence to the kitchen.

Started a fire, burned the book, destroyed the evidence.

Then, he cleaned up the drafting papers and continued to absorb the crystal core on the driver’s seat.

He refused to believe that this couldn’t be achieved without high intellect.

Just as Bai Yifan began to absorb the crystal core, Bai Xiqin and the others suddenly appeared in the bus.

They had already completed their breakthroughs.

"Phew—, finally broke through, I feel like I could eat two braised pork knuckles today!"

Bai Zhengxuan sat on the sofa looking refreshed, feeling much lighter.

After breaking through to Third Rank Superpower, he felt he could walk faster, and his leg ailments seemed to have vanished completely.

His old rheumatism had already left him when he was at Second Rank Superpower.

"Dad, Mom, your hair seems to have darkened a bit."

Bai Anhai’s eyes fell on Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing’s hair.

Despite being seventy years old, their hair had turned entirely white.

After they had awakened their powers, they felt rejuvenated, and their hair turned a bit gray.

After breaking through to Third Rank, Bai Anhai suddenly noticed their hair roots growing darker as if preparing to sprout black hair.

"Your dad’s always been young! Eating two braised pork knuckles in one go is no problem!" Bai Zhengxuan emphasized the braised pork knuckles once more.

Braised pork knuckles, his motivation for enhancing his powers.

"Your mom has always been as beautiful as a flower!" Liu Jing chuckled, admiring her hair and her increasingly faint wrinkles in the mirror.

Bai Xiqin looked at her rejuvenated grandparents with a happy smile.

Nothing is more important than having a well-off family.

Three years into the apocalypse, she dreamt of such a scene, thinking it would never happen but now it’s reality, how wonderful.

"Grandma, Grandpa, as your powers increase, your physical condition will also improve, maybe you’ll even grow new teeth!" said Bai Xiqin.

What Bai Xiqin said wasn’t unfounded.

The higher the powers, the younger the body becomes.

She’d heard that older power users, after breaking through, would become younger, even sprouting black hair.

In turn, this would increase their lifespan.

The energy tide is a powerful surge of life energy.

Perhaps in the near future, people on Earth may possess the divine power mentioned in legend.

It is said that Peng Zu lived for over eight hundred years.

During the times of Yao, Shun, and Yu, many people supposedly had long lifespans and mighty powers...

People believed those were mythological tales, not reality.

Because they have never seen anyone with divine power.

Now, the mysterious energy tide has granted people superpowers.

Little did they know, superpowers might just be the divine power from myths.

The fall and birth of gods.

Perhaps, it’s just the cycle of endless time.

In China, myths are plentiful, and the gods in them have the power to control everything, akin to the superpowers in mastering elements like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The exotic beasts and plants recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas have started to have real-world counterparts in modern society.

Not just in China, but abroad there are many astonishing legends as well.

Most legends are similar, from the Western Jesus, the Sun God of India, to Prometheus in Greek mythology...

And the vanished civilization of Atlantis...

Perhaps all of it is just one big cycle.

"Can you really grow new teeth?"

Bai Zhengxuan clutched a crystal core, eyes gleaming intensely.

Currently, he used dentures, and the braised pork knuckles were tender enough for him to handle.

There are thousands of world cuisines, and while braised pork knuckles are delicious, so are others!

If he could grow new teeth, he’d definitely taste every delicacy out there!

Without worrying about his dentures getting pulled out!

"Of course it’s true!" Bai Xiqin nodded assuredly, "Just need to boost your powers; reach a certain level and you won’t have to worry about hypertension, hyperglycemia, or hyperlipidemia!"

Bai Zhengxuan’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the crystal core in his hand, a bold idea forming in his mind.

Having tasted the sweetness of braised pork knuckles, the enthusiasm of Bai Zhengxuan Senior towards enhancing his powers grew even stronger.

Bai Yifan silently watched his excited family members, lost in thought.

Why was he still a First Rank Superpower User?

Oh heavens!

Are you fair?

Leng Yebai noticed Bai Yifan’s look of despair and quietly approached, gently patting his shoulder.

Bai Yifan pouted, looking at the noticeably more powerful Leng Yebai, asked gloomily, "Brother Leng, is there any shortcut to enhancing our powers?"

Leng Yebai pondered earnestly, nodded, then shook his head.

"Just work hard, absorb the crystal cores properly, and you’ll break through naturally." Leng Yebai replied earnestly.

Enhancing powers was quite simple; if not fearing the instability of rapid power growth, he could advance even more.

Bai Yifan: ...

It seemed like Leng Yebai had said everything and yet, said nothing at all.

"You could think of it this way: our family is so strong, if you ever get bullied, just come home and we’ll take care of them for you!" Bai Xiqin tried to comfort when she saw Bai Yifan’s look of despair.

Bai Yifan wasn’t lacking in talent, quite the opposite; reaching the ranks of a First Rank Superpower User early in the apocalypse was quite an achievement.

Among the survivors, he was already ahead in the game.

It’s just that his family was incredibly strong, making Bai Yifan appear somewhat...wisely foolish.

Bai Yifan: ...

Thanks, but that wasn’t comforting at all.

"Hehe, leveling up to Third Rank Superpower indeed feels different, I feel like I could sprint miles without breaking a sweat!"

Bai Anhai clenched his fists, feeling much stronger, with his powers surging significantly.

A Third Rank Superpower User, in the apocalypse, can almost rule wherever they go.

Bai Anhai excitedly paced around the bus, his muscular legs and arms showing his enhanced fitness.

Bai Yifan watched Bai Anhai with fear, quickly pulling out another crystal core.

Clenching a crystal core in each hand, he furiously absorbed them.

Enhancing his powers was becoming increasingly urgent.

Seeing his dad’s state, he was completely outmatched.

Oh dear, oh dear.

He suddenly felt that it might be quite likely in the future that he would end up as his parent’s own well-protected "field."

Too terrifying.

More terrifying was that his dad’s habit of eating garlic remained steadfast and unchanged.

"Xiao Fan, what’s wrong?"

Wang Yiyun noticed Bai Yifan’s frightened eyes.

"Nothing, Mom, can I discuss something with you?" Bai Yifan weakly asked.

"What is it?" Wang Yiyun raised an eyebrow.

"After you and Dad turn into zombies, can you move faster and eat quicker than Dad?" Bai Yifan’s voice gradually grew softer.

His sister had said that he would be his parents’ well-protected "field," and Dad’s garlic breath was too strong; comparatively, he’d rather his mom "protected" him.

"Who did you say would turn into a zombie?"

Bai An rolled up his sleeves, expressionless, and walked toward Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan: Danger!
