Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 627: Chapter 628: Visiting the Superpowered

Just as Lin Chen arrived at the villa entrance, he saw a woman in uniform standing at the door.

”Sister Ling, you go upstairs first. I have something to attend to,” Lin Chen said with a smile.

Wei Ling glanced at the female officer and laughed, ”Not bad, little brother, this girl is top-notch.”

Lin Chen gave an awkward smile, ”What are you talking about? She’s my adjutant.”

As Lin Chen got out of the car, Xiao Ru showed a trace of joy in her eyes, ”Vice-captain, Second Lieutenant Xiao Ru reporting to you.”

Lin Chen nodded, ”Mhm, sure you’re not standing guard outside my house.”

Xiao Ru shook her head; ”Vice-captain, I’m here to ask you to come to the unit for work. As an officer, you should lead by example and not be picking up girls during work hours.”

Lin Chen was at a loss for words, ”When was I picking up girls? I was also defending the safety of the people’s lives and property, you know. Moreover, Lieutenant Xu said I only need to report to headquarters when there’s a mission, and I’m free to do as I please otherwise.”

Xiao Ru nodded seriously, ”Lieutenant Xu has already handed over his duties to me, and I’ve found some clues about the search for the Life Stone.”

”You have a clue?” Upon hearing Xiao Ru’s words, Lin Chen was thrilled and asked.

Xiao Ru handed over some materials to Lin Chen, ”This person, I think, might be helpful to you, perhaps unraveling the mystery you wish to solve.”

”If there are clues, then let’s get moving immediately.”

Only after getting into the car did Lin Chen learn that the clue Xiao Ru mentioned was a person from the superhuman group called Ke Li.

The superhuman groups in T Country are divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and human. Lin Chen’s group is at the earth level, and below the earth level is the human level.

And the person Xiao Ru was talking about is a human-level individual, a postnatal superhuman. His ability is very unique, which involves extracting the animal energy from inside animals and using it for himself to attain superhuman capabilities.

”There are actually superhumans with such abilities!” Lin Chen was stunned after hearing Xiao Ru’s introduction.

Lin Chen had heard from Zhao Xiaohua that superhuman abilities are divided into innate and acquired. Innate means having the ability to activate the energy within the body from birth and control certain superhuman abilities, while acquired involves undergoing some kind of bodily mutation or through artificial means to activate the energy within and gain certain capabilities.

According to Xiao Ru, this superhuman named Ke Li was clearly an acquired one.

”Extracting the energy from animals to gain abilities, that is indeed quite interesting,” Lin Chen said curiously.

Xiao Ru nodded, ”Yes, don’t you think his method is similar to the Life Stone you possess?”

”Yeah, let’s find out more,” Lin Chen answered with a smile.

During their conversation, Lin Chen and Xiao Ru had already arrived at Ke Li’s villa, where a little girl was singing a cheerful song while swinging on a swing in the yard.

”Little girl, is this Mr. Ke Li’s house?” Lin Chen asked with a smile.

”Yes, are you looking for my father, big brother and big sister?” the girl said with a smile.

”Yes, is he not at home?” Xiao Ru asked with a smile.

”He’s home, but he’s in the lab. Why don’t you wait a moment?” the girl said cheerily as she opened the door.

As the two walked into the yard, the girl looked them over, ”Big brother, big sister, you must be a couple!”

”A couple?” Hearing the girl’s words, both of their faces turned bright red.

”Little sister, how could I possibly be a couple with this kind of person,” Xiao Ru scoffed, giving Lin Chen a sideways glance.

”Tch, I don’t want to be your lover, little, brat!” Lin Chen snorted.

Watching the two squabble, the girl burst into laughter.

At that moment, the girl looked up at the sky and said with a smile, ”It’s getting late; you haven’t had dinner yet, have you?”

Lin Chen’s stomach was truly rumbling now, but he still clenched his teeth, ”Little sister, it’s okay, I’m not hungry.”

Suddenly, the young girl pressed her ear to Lin Chen’s stomach.

At that moment, Lin Chen’s stomach embarrassingly made a gurgling sound again.

”Big brother is lying, you’re obviously hungry!” the girl pouted.

Lin Chen glanced at his watch, it was now past six o’clock in the evening, just around dinner time.

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly, ”Little sister, you must be hungry too, let’s do this, we’ll order takeout.”

”No need, I’ll cook for big brother and big sister,” the girl said as she let them into the house, poured them a cup of tea, and then dashed into the kitchen.

Xiao Ru couldn’t help but exclaim, ”What a good girl she is, I wish I could have such a well-behaved child in the future.”

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a man with unkempt beard and glasses walked in. l

Seeing Lin Chen and Xiao Ru, he paused for a moment.

Xiao Ru hurriedly explained, ”Mr. Ke Li, we are from the Terran group, we’ve heard that you have extensive research on the qi of animals, so we’d like to ask you about it.”

After hearing Xiao Ru, Ke Li finally smiled and said, ”So you’re from the Terran group, truly enviable!”

Lin Chen smiled, ”Mr. Ke Li, have you heard of the ’Stone of Life’?”

Ke Li hesitated, then shook his head with some confusion.

”My research topic is precisely about harnessing the latent qi in animals and then converting it into energy for the human body. It was this invention that initially made me a human-class otherworlder and pulled my family out of poverty.”

”Yes, three years ago, Mr. Ke Li extracted qi from animals which really shook the entire supernatural world,” Xiao Ru said with a smile.

”A hero doesn’t boast about bravery of the past. Anyway, regarding the ’Stone of Life’, I can’t help you much, but there are many books on biology and qi theory in my home, feel free to look through them,” Ke Li said with a laugh.

At this moment, the young girl came over with a dish that was steaming fragrantly.

Xiao Ru also ran into the kitchen to help the girl serve the rice and dishes.

Lin Chen couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Mr. Ke Li, you really have a lovely daughter!”

Ke Li laughed, ”I have no choice, it’s just the two of us at home. I’m busy with research every day, so I’ve left cooking to Clara.”

”By the way, where’s your wife?” Lin Chen curiously asked.

Ke Li sighed, ”Back when I wasn’t successful, our family was very poor. She couldn’t stand the poverty and ran away.”

”I see, I’m really sorry for bringing up such a sad matter...” Lin Chen said with an apology.

”It’s nothing, it’s all in the past. Now it’s just my daughter and me, depending on each other, and our life is getting better and better,” Ke Li said with a smile.

The meal was served, and everyone picked up their chopsticks.

It had to be said, although Clara was a little girl, her cooking skills were quite remarkable, the food she made was both colorful and delicious.

After having dinner at Ke Li’s home, Lin Chen finally bid farewell to the father and daughter.

However, he had already made an appointment with Ke Li to come over the next day to browse through the reference books.

Both Lin Chen and Xiao Ru liked this cute and capable girl very much.

”Hopefully this time we’ll really make some progress,” Lin Chen breathed deeply.
