Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Sunny Day, Desperate to Improve

「The next day.」

Seraphina Sullivan awoke from her sleep and habitually glanced out the window.

To her surprise, she discovered that the oppressive torrential rain, which had lasted for over a month, had actually stopped!

Although the gray sky hadn’t completely cleared, the thick cloud cover was noticeably thinner. A few faint rays of sunlight even managed to stubbornly break through, illuminating the drenched world.

’The rain stopped? The sky is clearing up!’ Seraphina Sullivan’s spirits instantly lifted.

After all, having just returned from the apocalyptic instance where she had at least seen some sunlight, her craving for a clear sky wasn’t as extreme.

But for the ordinary people who had been struggling in the real world for over a month without ever experiencing an instance, this brief pause in the rain and glimmer of light was undoubtedly a massive ray of hope in their despair.

Seraphina Sullivan heard many people in her residential complex shouting excitedly from their homes.

Although the floodwaters left behind by a month of torrential rain had not yet receded, the clear sky meant that some problems could now be solved.

’What’s going on? Has the downpour finally passed?’ Seraphina Sullivan was puzzled, but she soon understood the truth from news alerts and group chat messages on her phone.

It wasn’t a natural phenomenon. The nation had taken action!

News footage showed that the government had deployed large transport planes carrying the first publicly revealed Player—the "Child of Weather"—to patrol over the nation’s major disaster-stricken cities.

The seemingly delicate girl concentrated on the plane, unleashing her powerful weather-controlling Ability to forcibly carve out temporary clearings in the endless rain clouds!

Seraphina Sullivan watched the miraculous scene of clouds parting to reveal the sun on her screen, her mouth agape in astonishment.

’No way... This Ability... it seems a bit too insane!’ Seraphina Sullivan couldn’t help but be flabbergasted.

Thinking about it carefully, controlling the weather, changing large-scale meteorological conditions... this was basically a mobile, Catastrophe Level Power!

If this young girl’s Ability were strong enough, she could casually create a devastating super-typhoon covering several provinces or even a regional, continuous blizzard whenever she was in a bad mood... The consequences would be unimaginable!

’Thankfully... thankfully, this girl is under the strict protection of the state.’ Seraphina Sullivan felt a wave of lingering fear, but also a sense of relief.

’If an Ability like this fell into the hands of a criminal, a lunatic, or some treacherous person with ulterior motives, the entire world would probably plunge into even greater chaos and disaster.’

The government revealing her existence and using her for disaster relief was undoubtedly the most stable and effective way to utilize her power for good.

But deep down, Seraphina Sullivan still harbored an indescribable worry about such terrifying Power, concentrated in a single individual and capable of upsetting the world’s balance.

Outside the window, the long-absent sunlight spilled in. Though faint, it was enough to send the long-repressed populace into a brief, frenzied celebration.

Many residents threw open their windows and shouted at the sky. Some even braved the standing water to run to their rooftops, just to feel the hard-won clear weather.

Seraphina Sullivan also basked in the warmth. She quickly moved her spare solar panels to the sunniest spot by the window, absorbing and storing as much electricity as possible to prepare for any potential return of severe weather.

Inside, Sean Chandler was practicing suturing on a large slab of pork, his expression focused.

He held a needle and thread, his movements already much more practiced than when he had bandaged Justin Brooks the day before, yet they still carried the slightly stiff earnestness of a warrior.

This was the "homework" Seraphina Sullivan had assigned him.

Since he had to play the part of the one who had treated Justin Brooks, his technique had to at least look the part.

Of course, Seraphina Sullivan wasn’t slacking off either. She not only practiced her suturing on the pork but was also practicing various killing techniques.

However, Seraphina Sullivan possessed the [Butcher’s Skill].

If Seraphina Sullivan wanted to kill someone, she just had to treat them as a target for dismantling, and the knowledge of how to quickly break them down would instantly flood her mind.

Both of them were trying every method they could think of to improve their strength.

The internet was not yet down, so they used this precious resource to search for and study videos on various military combat techniques, grappling skills, and even the use of cold weapons.

Relying on his [Monster Power] Talent, Sean Chandler could turn any ordinary fighting technique into a one-hit kill, transforming the mundane into the miraculous.

’Unfortunately, what you can find online is ultimately just the basics,’ Seraphina Sullivan mumbled with some regret as she watched him practice. ’If only he could learn some real, systematic killing arts. With Sean Chandler’s foundation and Talent, his Power would definitely reach a terrifying level.’

Of course, she also knew that even with just the "basics," an ordinary punch from Sean Chandler, imbued with his Monster Power, was far more than a normal person could withstand.

But Seraphina wasn’t satisfied. She had an intense desire to become stronger. ’I want to improve so badly! We have to seize every opportunity!’

Flora and Prince Moe were also "observing" Sean Chandler’s training from the side.

These two little ones were now the "management team" of the farm Space. They spent most of their time inside, busy with the grand task of planting and raising creatures. The two special plants Seraphina Sullivan had previously collected, the Power Apple Tree and Healing Grass, were their top priorities.

The two little guys only came out for a breather when they were on break.

Flora waved her vines to give a report: "Master, Master, the other vegetables and potato sprouts in the Space are growing well, and the Healing Grass is also thriving. It’s just that seed for the [Fiery Sunflower]... it’s not showing any signs of sprouting. Did I not water it enough?"

Seraphina Sullivan shook her head. "It’s not your fault, Flora. That seed needs a high-temperature environment to grow. It probably can’t germinate at normal temperatures. I’ll figure out a way to make a ’greenhouse’ for it later."

Just then, Prince Moe flew over. He spoke softly, his tone a little sheepish. "Master, my people... I can still manage them, and the Cluckers are doing okay, though they’re a bit scared of me... But..."

Seraphina looked at him. "But what?"

Moe rubbed his small claws, his dark green eyes filled with anxiety. "But... Master, the food you prepared... the Cluckers can make do with it, but my people and I... we can’t survive on ordinary food. We need... we need ore or stones that contain special Energy. The current food has almost no nutritional value for us. If this continues, we’ll get weaker and weaker..."

Seraphina froze. Only then did she suddenly remember that The Silenti race survived by absorbing Energy from the [Petrification Star]!

She had been so focused on raising them as "Petrification Guards" that she had forgotten the most crucial issue: their food!

"You’re right, that was my oversight," Seraphina Sullivan said, patting her forehead. "Just hang in there for now and conserve your Energy. When I enter an instance later, I’ll pay special attention to finding ore with special energy or things similar to the ’Petrification Star.’ I’ll do my best to get you some ’rations.’"

Hearing this, Prince Moe immediately flew a happy circle. "Okay, Master! We’ll hold on!"
