Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 157: Teleportation
Villa Area.
After Alanna used her supernatural ability "Healing" on Waldo, she noticed that Waldo remained motionless as if the effect hadn’t taken place. This caused both Alanna and Helen to feel worried.
"Waldo, Waldo, wake up!" Alanna called out to Waldo, her voice trembling. "Waldo, are you okay?" Helen echoed her concern.
It was evident that they were extremely fearful at the moment, afraid that something bad had happened to Waldo. The impact of such an event on them would be enormous.
Seeing Waldo still unresponsive, Alanna suppressed her worries and the tears welling up in her eyes, intending to use her ability "Healing" on him once more. After all, this ability could be used three times a day.
However, at that moment, Alanna suddenly saw Waldo’s eyelids twitch. Her eyes widened in astonishment. Upon closer observation, she noticed a slight change in Waldo’s facial expression, as if he was suppressing a twitching sensation.
Alanna wasn’t foolish. In an instant, she pieced together many things and felt a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance. She turned to look at Helen, who also had a strange expression on her face. Obviously, she had also sensed that something was off.
With that, the two women clenched their teeth and became increasingly frustrated. "Waldo, come on, let me use ’Healing’ on you again. I promise it will rejuvenate you!" Alanna opened her mouth and moved toward Waldo as if to bite him.
But she ended up biting at thin air.
"Ouch!"
Instead of biting Waldo, she accidentally bumped her own teeth. She widened her eyes in surprise and shock. She realized that Waldo had disappeared! No, to be precise, he vanished from his original spot and appeared in an open space outside the villa.
Alanna thought she might be seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously. To her amazement, Waldo was standing outside with a smile on his face.
"What is going on? What happened?" Alanna was bewildered and hadn’t yet grasped the situation. The shock and confusion in her mind had replaced her earlier embarrassment towards Waldo.
"What’s going on?" Helen pondered. Then, she quickly realized and exclaimed, "Could this be your third ability?"
Both women looked at Waldo in disbelief. They had witnessed too many incredible things from him. Fortunately, Waldo was their man. The more powerful and gifted he became, the happier they were.
"Yes, that’s correct. After I surpassed level thirty, I gained my third ability, ’Teleportation.’ It allows me to move from one space to another without any obstacles," Waldo explained. With these words, he disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in front of the two women.
Roughly, he pulled them into his arms. The two women were displeased and tried to push him away. However, with their level ten strength, they couldn’t budge Waldo’s level thirty power. So, their resistance was in vain. Alanna gave up her resistance in resignation.
She still had many doubts, asking, "So, according to what you’re saying, does that mean you get a new ability every ten levels? And what exactly is the ’Teleportation’ skill?" Waldo thought for a moment before responding, "If I’m not mistaken, that’s indeed the case. I gain a new ability every ten levels. As for ’Teleportation,’ you’ve seen it. Simply put, it’s crossing space."
Seeing that Alanna and Helen still had doubts, he decided to give them a few more demonstrations to help them understand better.
With that, he disappeared before their eyes and reappeared behind them.
"What are you looking for? I’m right behind you!" Waldo patted the shoulders of the two women. When they turned around, he disappeared again and then reappeared outside the villa.
Outside the villa, Chubby was lying on the ground licking its paw. At this moment, it was unaware of the gravity of the situation.
Suddenly, an apparition appeared before it, causing Chubby’s fur to stand on end, and it was startled. This shock resulted in Chubby accidentally biting its own tongue and yelping in pain.
Seeing this, Waldo burst into laughter, finding the situation amusing. "Chubby, oh Chubby, you’re quite the comedian! I told you to stay alert, but you chose to laze around here. Now, karma has caught up with you!"
Chubby was furious, but it didn’t dare to move recklessly. After all, it knew how formidable this man was, and now, even more so.
Eventually, Chubby ignored him and moved to a different spot, continuing to lie down. Before long, Waldo appeared before the two women again. He looked at their still astonished faces and smiled slightly. "Now, you finally understand what ’Teleportation’ means, don’t you?"
Alanna swallowed nervously and stuttered, "Your, your ability is way too amazing!"
Helen nodded in agreement, expressing deep approval. "It’s truly beyond belief. Whether in combat or on the road, it’s extremely incredible. Just think about it, appearing behind a zombie during a fight—who could react in time? Even if surrounded, there’s no need to panic, you can easily escape. And not to mention how convenient it is for traveling. Really, this ability is just too incredible!"
Waldo added, "While that’s true, there are still some limitations. For instance, the distance of teleportation is limited, and I can’t teleport too far in one go. Additionally, I can’t carry too many things with me. However, even with these limitations, I know that this ability is still extraordinary."
He acknowledged that this was a tremendous surprise. When combined with his ability to control fire, he might unleash even more potent power. He was already considering how to integrate these two abilities to achieve the most formidable outcome.
Waldo didn’t rush to increase his level now. His body needed time to adapt. He transferred thirty thousand experience points to each of the two women to help them level up. After all, they were a team. His strength alone was just that, the strength of one person.
Under Waldo’s guidance, Alanna and Helen began to level up. They were both very dedicated and quickly reached level twenty.
However, they didn’t gain new abilities, which was normal. Supernatural abilities weren’t just commonplace. Many people didn’t gain an ability even by level twenty. Moreover, each person could only have one ability at most—that was the rule.
Waldo, being the exception, almost shouldn’t exist in this world. Once the two women successfully leveled up, Waldo spoke, "I think it’s time for us to venture into the West City District next."
