The Villain's Little Cat-Chapter 328 Time Skip <3>
328 Time Skip <3>
Jake was the second one.
Despite his quarrel with Robby, he still managed to advance faster while the dog kept on yelling that he cheated.
Unfortunately, there was no way to fight him.
Lotte advanced to rank 7 in her wind element and become the third one to advance, but her wood element stuck in rank 6. She herself didn't know the reason why.
Robby advanced to rank 7 not long after Lotte and mocked Marc, who was still rank 6.
Thankfully, a bitter training was all it was needed for Marc to finally advance to rank 7 but had to suffer at home. His foundation was not so stable, which forced him to stop working and focus on his training after his advancement.
This also indirectly told others that forceful advancement was possible.
But the side effect was a bit...
Lucy was the only one who didn't advance to rank 7. It was not like she didn't want to, but the resources for enhancement department was very limited. She could only go to the wilderness and fought countless giant mutated animals, beating them up to the point they were unrecognizable.
And it was only yesterday she finally broke to rank 7 and nearly wept.
Her advancement method was truly...
Bitter.
All over the nation, there were less than 30 people who had advanced to rank 7 and seven of them were in City E.
This made City E the most luxurious and safe place in the entire nation. The leader was a bit jealous when he heard that another one had advanced in City E, but he knew that General Ryan was also a very good person.
So in the end, he only congratulated them.
Anyway, City E didn't show that they wanted to be in power or whatever. They only focused on making the city better for the people to live.
It was much better than some others who were showing their teeth and wanted power from the moment they advanced to rank 7.
More than a year had passed ever since the first red rain.
Kate and Kyle had also advanced, but they never told about this matter to anyone. After all, their advancements were also slow and required a lot of resources. It was to the point that Kate also felt heartache when she saw the list. 1
But then again, these resources would be useless if not being used.
So she still used them.
Kyle still remembered Kate's request to see her crystals, but after knowing that the machine the researchers developed was imperfect and could harm the body to some extent, he chose to develop it himself first by using the same principle.
Hearing the side effect, Lucy even came to her brother to confront those researchers.
Unfortunately, aside from some compensation, the research was still going on. Not only on Lucas, Lucy's brother, but also some other unique cases of these awakened.
The result was that the guidebook for awakened was made.
It was still being perfected, but it helped those newly awakened who only managed to awaken when they reached 18 years old. This way, they didn't need to stumble and grope their way up to strengthen their abilities.
Those who awakened earlier could only sigh.
They were not as lucky as these younger people.
But if there were more powerful people, it meant that they could deal with these giant mutated animals better. Even if they had to coexist with these giant mutated animals, they still hoped that humans were stronger.
That way, they wouldn't have the fear of having the humanities completely destroyed.
Though, that was the worry of those above.
For most people, they only knew that being awakened meant that they could wield greater power, get more resources and fought against those giant mutated animals outside.
That was enough.
Back to Kyle, he was busy making the machine for months while they were still also doing other things. This was one of the few projects that would take an extremely long time for him to finish.
But Kate was patience.
She was still adapting to the change in her abilities.
"Kate, it's done Kyle looked at his little girlfriend at the side helplessly. At this time, Kate was using the form of a little kid and gobbled a cake secretly at the side. Her hobby to sneak some snacks from time to time hadn't changed at all.
"Ah?" Kate was startled when she saw Kyle and grinned before licking her fingers to wipe the cream.
Kyle shook his head. "Wash your hand and follow me to the medical room."
Their place at the seventh underground floor was getting more and
more complete. It looked like a large villa from inside where they could do many things. The others also began to like staying there more and more.
If not for the complicated defense system placed there.
It had to verify their identity for several minutes before they were allowed inside. Only Kate was the exception because she could directly teleport inside. Though, she still followed the procedure sometimes when she wanted it. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
The space material type that she had made with Kyle was quite useless to face her. After all, the space ability it could contain was lower than her current rank.
They would continue to research the materials.
The others had to follow through this process of verification without exception. So far, no one else aside from their small group ever came here. It was hard enough to enter the Research institute, much less knowing that there was actually such a secret base underground.
Even if the secret base didn't belong to the city but belong to Kyle personally.
Drap! Drap!
"I'm done washing" Kate showed her hands with a grin and with a poof, she returned to her adult form.
After nearly a year of practicing, she had gotten used to changing her form from cat, child, to adult. The crystal that she took back then had allowed her to advance rapidly and there were even some other surprises.
But she would not use this ability recklessly.
