At night, all the refugees gathered around the campfire and waited for the potatoes to be roasted. The aroma of the roasted potatoes wafted out from the flames. When the Yang Clan troops saw this scene, they said in surprise, "These people are really lucky. How did they manage to find a potato field?"
Only Yan Liuyuan and Ren Xiaosu knew that this might be the result of Yan Liuyuan's luck and curses working together. As for the specific principles behind this, neither of them knew.
Other people's abilities were very tangible. For example, Ren Xiaosu could see his palace and even take out seeds, black medicine, black knives, and poker cards from it.
Xu Xianchu's ability was also very tangible. He could summon a shadow, and even Luo Xinyu's ability could open a Shadow Door that could be seen.
Only Yan Liuyuan's ability could not be seen or touched. If it had not been proven many times, they would not have even been able to sense what Yan Liuyuan's ability was.
Moreover, this ability could not be used on oneself, which was extremely strange.
Therefore, this ability could only be used to dig bit by bit, and it was not even easy to find the right direction to dig in.
But now, Ren Xiaosu had used his reverse curse ability to find a potato field for them and solve the problem of having food to eat.
For the past two days, even Sister Xiaoyu and the others had to eat as little as possible. This was because their food supply would not last for long, so they could only scrimp and save.
In the end, when Ren Xiaosu woke up, everyone had something to eat, and a lot of it.
As Yan Liuyuan fed Ren Xiaosu potatoes, he said, "Bro, you'd better get better quickly. Without you around, we're all in a flurry."
Ren Xiaosu observed the state of the healing of his bones. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll need another 20 to 30 days."
Ordinary people would need at least 90 days before their bones could be considered healed. However, because Ren Xiaosu's physical fitness was three times that of ordinary people, his healing ability was also three times that of ordinary people.
Yan Liuyuan heaved a sigh of relief. They only needed to endure in this refugee camp for another twenty days or so before they could leave!
At this moment, Yan Liuyuan said, "Bro, it seems like the Yang Clan Consortium is no different from the other consortiums. Their soldiers also view human lives as worthless. I don't think their stronghold residents are any better off than the Li Consortium's residents either."
"There are good and bad people everywhere." Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "Look at these escapees. There are still many of them who don't have any animosity toward us. They're just obediently submitting to adversity."
"But I just don't like the stronghold," Yan Liuyuan muttered.
"Actually, what you don't like is not the people of the stronghold." Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "What you don't like are the rules in the stronghold. The consortiums put everyone in a cage and use their rules to restrict everyone. You yearn for freedom, so of course you don't like these rules."
Yan Liuyuan grunted in acknowledgment. Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "I don't like it either."
Yan Liuyuan's eyes lit up. "Then when you've recovered, aren't we going to the Yang Clan's stronghold?"
The Yang Clan had opened up the road to the north, but they did not have the appropriate identities to go north. Could they possibly tell the Yang Clan's troops that they had a Kyung Clan spy here and wanted to visit the Yang Clan?
That didn't make sense either!
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a moment. "Let's wait a little longer. We'll talk about it after I've recovered."
When he took a bite of the potato, a gust of cold wind blew over. The cold air poured into Ren Xiaosu's mouth and made him choke. The potato got stuck in his throat for a long time before he could swallow it down.
Ren Xiaosu was amused. "This must be your cursing power, right?"
When Yan Liuyuan bit off a piece of potato, he also choked a little. However, he recovered after drinking some water.
Whether it was the backlash from making wishes or cursing, it would be slightly lighter. This was probably a special treatment given to those who possessed this power. However, they had to be cautious when using this power because the backlash was uncontrollable.
But no matter what, Ren Xiaosu was very happy. That was because the stronger he and Yan Liuyuan became, the smoother their future would be.
At night, Yan Liuyuan kept experimenting with his power by the campfire. From time to time, there would be people in the campsite who would cry out in surprise or slip and fall. Meanwhile, he himself also suffered quite a bit from the backlash. The curses were only performed on the people who had asked for food from them. Moreover, the curses were all trivial matters, so the backlash was nothing to be afraid of.
Gradually, Yan Liuyuan also started familiarizing himself with his new power.
He stayed by Ren Xiaosu's side and said, "Everyone has worked very hard today to complete the workload for the wounded. I feel that the others in the group can be trusted a little."
"Mhm," Ren Xiaosu responded softly. He seemed to have thought of something.
Yan Liuyuan suddenly felt that the pain in Ren Xiaosu's heart was still there. It was just that Ren Xiaosu had hidden it deep in his heart.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu called the other students over and asked, "Have y 'all improved your control over the nanomachines after training for the whole day?"
The students were stunned when they heard that. They tried using the nanomachines. Wang Yuchi said, "It seems like it's a little faster now. But if we don't feel it carefully and try it a few times, we won't be able to tell."
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "It's just a day's worth of training. It needs to be accumulated over a long period of time."
Nonsense had mentioned before that there were actually many people in the Li Consortium's regular military who had a synchronization rate of above 80%. The average person's synchronization rate was slightly lower.
This made Ren Xiaosu realize that the synchronization rate might not be fixed at birth. Otherwise, how could there be a group of people who had a unique synchronization rate?
So what was the difference between the regular military and the average person?
The regular military had received systematic training. Not only did they receive military training, but they also received physical training. Sometimes, it was common for them to run to their deaths during cross-country training. Although the Li Consortium's military discipline had not been good in the past two years, their training had never fallen behind.
The military discipline had not been good because it had expanded too quickly. Too many of the Li Consortium's children who had not been honed had joined the army, and that had led to a bad atmosphere.
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu wondered if the synchronization rate had something to do with physical training?
Of course, it could also have something to do with willpower.
For example, during training, a lot of high-intensity training required strong willpower to support it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete it.
Therefore, after training, the regular military's willpower became stronger and stronger. In the end, it was decided that their synchronization rate would generally be higher.
Be it in terms of physical fitness or willpower, Ren Xiaosu felt that these students would definitely be able to improve their synchronization rate if they went through some hardships. It was the same for Li Qingzheng, Wang Dalong, and Wang Fugui.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly remembered what Yang Xiaojin had said to him. "When disaster strikes, willpower is the number one weapon humans have when facing danger."
