Chapter 59 00059
59 Chapter - The Prison Is Over!
The next morning.
Ye Yao had never had such a refreshing waking moment.
Her mood was incredibly light and joyful.
"Sister didn't oversleep today. Did something good happen last night?"
Luo Jianhua was brushing Ye Yao's hair, her face full of curiosity.
"Mm-hmm, something good did happen. I severely punished those bad people."
Ye Yao swayed slightly, and anyone could see she was in a good mood.
"Then Sister is very kind. She's so happy about punishing bad people. It seems the people at headquarters are definitely mistaken."
Luo Jianhua's mood was also uplifted by Ye Yao, a sweet smile on her face.
"How could such a kind Sister possibly destroy the world in the end?"
"Exactly, exactly."
Ye Yao shamelessly accepted Luo Jianhua's praise.
Happy because bad people were punished?
It wasn't that she was brimming with a sense of justice.
The main reason was the large number of attribute points she gained all at once.
If she wasn't happy after such a big harvest,
Ye Yao would start to wonder if her Wu Mi syndrome was acting up.
She had already planned it out.
Those thirty-five attribute points would be added to her mental strength, five points each day.
Now, Ye Yao's mental strength had become 43.
The strategy was a slow boil, like cooking a frog in warm water.
Adding points slowly to avoid alerting anyone.
After all, she wasn't truly invincible yet.
She still needed to keep up the act for a while longer.
Even if her mental strength reached one hundred, she would still have to pretend to be a good daughter at home.
Even if Fission allowed her to reach peak stats and transform into a Super Automaton,
her overall fuel consumption would be extremely high, with no endurance or durability.
Facing an equally strong opponent, she would be completely trapped.
If she even breathed on an equally strong opponent, she might be kited and exhausted to death.
When the Fission period ended, she would revert to a weak, pitiful, and helpless loli.
What awaited her then might be her stern father's leather belt.
If she could undergo a second Fission, there wouldn't be so many problems.
Thinking of this, Ye Yao asked Luo Jianhua without looking back.
"Xiao Luo, do you think the power of an Esper's ability will transform as mental strength increases?"
"Oh, there is such a saying."
"So, will it transform when mental strength goes from D-rank to C-rank?" Ye Yao asked expectantly.
Luo Jianhua thought for a moment.
"I haven't seen such an example. For Espers, mental strength reaching C-rank is just the beginning. To make an ability transform, a very high mental strength is required."
"How high?"
"From the examples I've seen, one would probably need to reach B-rank to get the first enhancement to their ability."
An Esper's ability strength is not fixed from the start.
Low-quality abilities, after enhancement, can potentially rival high-quality Esper abilities.
Therefore, many Espers, when they first awaken their abilities, often have a saying: "The future is promising."
Of course, naturally powerful abilities are another matter.
These abilities are destined to be at the finish line from the moment they awaken.
Even without enhancement, they can completely overwhelm some people's entire lives.
Luo Jianhua's A Leaf Obscures the Eye is one such case.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been a former Sequence Esper.
Her mental strength is still a bit short of B-rank. Once her ability transforms, becoming an S-rank Esper will be a certainty.
"B-rank, huh?"
Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.
Only five hundred points.
It was still acceptable.
Anyway, she didn't really need a second Fission.
With over one hundred points, she could instantly obliterate everyone in a short period.
She would even have many points to spare.
Sigh.
Unfortunately, her survival and endurance were still short.
Her ability had a bunch of critical flaws!
Ye Yao felt an urgent need for enhancement!
"Sister, why are you asking such questions? Is your mental strength about to reach C-rank?"
"Still far away~"
Ye Yao let out a despondent sound.
It sounded like she had no ambition at all.
At the current pace, even without much effort, she could stack her mental strength to one hundred within a month.
The only reason for slowing down might be that Lou Wei blocking the door made it not so easy to sneak out.
After causing such a big commotion last night and exposing so much information,
Lou Wei would definitely be blocking the door with even higher intensity tonight.
It seemed she wouldn't be able to sneak out for a while.
In that case, taking a few days off from visiting Xia Lian and Wu Mi was a blessing in disguise.
"I believe that with Sister's ability, C-rank must not be far. You just need to pay attention to the bottleneck, though."
Luo Jianhua reminded her, her hand movements stopping.
She had finally finished brushing Ye Yao's hair.
The straight, smooth waterfall of white hair looked much more eye-catching.
If she added some hair accessories, she would definitely be even cuter.
Ye Yao felt the hair-brushing service was over and tilted her head back slightly, still looking unwilling to leave the chair.
From this angle, Luo Jianhua also looked quite cute.
"Are there bottlenecks?"
"There are at every stage. The higher the rank, the harder the bottleneck is to break through."
Luo Jianhua explained while opening a drawer to find hair accessories for Ye Yao.
However, none of the hair accessories in the drawer suited Ye Yao.
Then Luo Jianhua suddenly remembered that the "Pure White Angel" Magical Girl outfit Mo Qiuli brought had a very suitable hair accessory.
She quickly found it and placed it in Ye Yao's hair.
It was a single-sided feather wing design.
Even worn like this, it wasn't overly flashy.
Ye Yao, meanwhile, was contemplating the bottleneck issue Luo Jianhua mentioned.
"How hard is it to break through the A to S-rank bottleneck?"
"It's said to be very, very difficult. My mentor told me that ten years ago, there were thousands of A-rank Espers in the national Countermeasure Bureau, with nearly a hundred on the verge of breakthrough, yet today there are fewer than two hands' worth of S-rank Espers."
"That few?"
Ye Yao mused that it wouldn't be enough for her to fight.
Though she didn't have the ambition to conquer the world, that is.
"What about foreign countries?"
"I don't know about foreign countries. My mentor didn't tell me about those."
Luo Jianhua used to spend all her time cultivating, paying no attention to the situations in other countries.
Ye Yao's thoughts turned back again, beginning to ponder the bottleneck problem.
She probably didn't have such a thing as a bottleneck.
Breaking the level cap and adding points would be all there was to it.
A Fission could even ignore the ultimate bottleneck that trapped countless masters.
The point-adding method was still easier.
Afterward, Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua went to the living room.
Lou Wei was still cosplaying the mysterious newspaper man, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
Now, when looking at him, Ye Yao inexplicably felt a surge of confidence.
Perhaps it was because she had experienced the feeling of being invincible.
The mere stats of an equally strong opponent were completely insignificant now.
Unless an equally strong opponent could evolve further into a Cybertronian,
otherwise, they would ultimately face the predicament of being phased out.
"Good morning!"
Ye Yao greeted him cheerfully.
Lou Wei looked up at the slightly more lively white-haired girl today.
He found no abnormalities except for her mental strength steadily increasing.
"Mm, good morning."
Lou Wei responded.
Then he continued to ponder the "Sequence 0" bad news from another city.
Leaving aside this presumptuous title,
the mere fact that this newly emerging organization had an S-rank Esper was enough to make Lou Wei take it seriously.
This mysterious S-rank Esper was not in the Countermeasure Bureau's records.
Where did he come from?
