After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower

"Sure, I’ve been wanting to talk to you about this, too. Next month, officials will come to take over the orphanage, and I can officially retire. The older kids go to the base to work and study so that they can take care of themselves. Lodging and meals are provided at the base, and with the last Wood Power kid sent to your farm, there’s not much left for me to do. Once I hand over the orphanage to the authorities, I’ll move over. You can take the child first."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Pan was very happy when she heard it.

Grandpa Director was especially good to her, too. The Earth Dragon Fruit seed was obtained by Grandpa Director and given to Li Pan to nurture without charging her a penny, as thanks for her support of the orphanage children during the difficult times.

Their affection for one another was like that of a family. Grandpa Director didn’t stand on ceremony with Li Pan.

"Qi, Lingzi, stop whatever you’re doing right now and go pick up your little brother Mi Le; he’s part of our farm now. You two go and handle his registration. Next month when Grandpa comes to live with us, the orphanage will be handed over to the government."

"Really, Grandpa’s going to come over? That’s great, but what about Mi Le’s schooling?"

"Our house has a Transmission Array, it’s very convenient. For the next semester, he can join your online classes and then just go to take the exams, it won’t be a problem at all."

"Okay, I’ll go pick him up now."

Zhang Qi heard this, put down her belongings, changed her clothes, and went to the orphanage to pick up her little brother, Mi Le.

Mi Le was only seven years old, but he was very familiar with Li Pan and the others, having come over to play during the holidays.

"Sister Pan’er, I missed you."

Mi Le threw himself into Li Pan’s arms, cooing with a smile.

"You little rascal, I missed you too. From now on, you’ll work at my farm, and we won’t have to be apart anymore."

"Okay, Grandpa told me about it; I’ll work alongside my brothers and sisters."

"Good boy, are you hungry? Sister will make you some food. Lingzi, get the small cake from the fridge for your brother to eat."

"Okay."

"Did you get the room I asked you to prepare ready?"

"All set. He’s going to stay in the first-room-on-the-ground-floor; he has his own room, and everything is ready. I picked them out myself."

Xie Ling looked at her brother with a mischievous giggle.

"Mi Le, there’s not only good food but also online classes and study materials. You’ll study with me from now on. I’ll be responsible for checking your homework, and you know what happens if you don’t pass exams—I’ll hang you up and spank you."

Xie Ling clenched her fist with a full-faced smile.

Mi Le shivered and burrowed into Li Pan’s embrace, "Sister Pan’er, Lingzi is threatening me."

"Sweetie, you need to study and keep practicing your superpower. You can do less work, but you can’t skip your studies."

He was young; whether he worked or not didn’t matter much, but education was essential, as was the ability to protect himself.

"Alright then."

Mi Le sipped on his milk tea and nibbled on the small cake, sighing like a little adult.

"I knew it, no slacking off now that I’m here. Life is tough."

"Hahahahaha!"

The whole room burst into laughter because of the child’s remark. Despite his size, he was smart as a whip and full of mischief.

Li Pan rubbed his head, exasperated.

"Lingzi, you’re in charge of guiding Mi Le’s superpower. I’ll periodically check on his studies and superpower progress."

"Got it, leave it to me."

As the weather grew colder, Grandpa Director finally completed the handover of the orphanage. The few remaining kids were living, working, and studying in the base’s big courtyard; all in their teens, they didn’t need much supervision.

He then moved to the farm to live, helping out with cooking and looking after the kids, delivering meals, and also working on the farm from time to time.

Mi Le, as a Beginner Wood Power User, learned how to use his superpower for tasks alongside his older siblings, starting from the very basics. In addition, he had his studies and superpower practice, leading a busy and fulfilling life.

With children around, the house was always lively; laughter was a common sound, making the atmosphere much happier and more relaxed, more like a home.

Gu Yun had been waiting for a long time and was finally about to level up.

Her upgrade wasn’t like that of other people—there was always a big fuss. Li Pan specifically asked her to upgrade near the Thunder Spiritual Fruit Tree because the lightning could be absorbed by the tree, which had many benefits and didn’t harm the other plants.

Despite her young age, Gu Yun had risen to a high level, and her strength was impressive. The destruction power of the Thunder Department was particularly strong, and with her exceptional talent, naturally, her power was astonishing.

Now their farm had added another High-level Combat Superpower User, greatly enhancing its strength. These days, few dared to provoke their farm due to the sheer number of high-level users—they were practically bunching up.

Gu Yun still followed her father to learn cooking and culinary skills, which she enjoyed. She was able to calm her mind and wasn’t good at interacting. Hence, she considered becoming a chef in the future.

When the Thunder Spirit Fruit ripened, they kept one. Gu Yun said she didn’t need it for now, as she had enough Crystal Cores. The fruit could also be great for others to refine their bodies.

Seeing her not eager to use it, Li Pan held a meeting to decide who would be the best fit to use the fruit.

"Who do you think should use the last Thunder Spirit Fruit? We’ll have more in the future, so it’s okay if you don’t get a turn this time. More fruit will grow next year or the year after; the tree does produce quite a lot. Now that Xiao Yun has also advanced to a high level, she will provide daily lightning nourishment, so we won’t lack fruits to use."

Every time there was a distribution of Spiritual Fruits, Li Pan would clarify in advance that there were more to come—she had reserved Spiritual Fruits and Crystal Core resources for everyone, and nobody would be left shortchanged.

Everyone admired the farm and her greatly, never doubting her intentions, and they certainly wouldn’t be selfish over such trivial matters.

"Give it to the kid. Mi Le has a really good talent, but his body is a bit weak. Let’s see if it can improve his physical constitution."

Qin Jianzhong took the initiative to suggest.

"I agree. If he makes good use of it, we can try it when there are more fruits available. If not enough, we also have the Soul Cleansing Fruit, which will bear fruit next year. Our home doesn’t have to worry about competing for resources."

Xue Dong also said, laughing.

"I don’t want it. I just arrived and haven’t made any contributions. How can I share the Spiritual Fruits just like that?"

Startled, Mi Le shook his head again and again, thinking it was too precious even to imagine.

"Mi Le, are you afraid of pain? This thing really hurts. You take it and be our guinea pig,"

Li Pan teased him intentionally.

The Thunder Spirit Fruit didn’t have the awakening effect of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit; it posed no danger—it was simply painful.

"It’s too painful. I don’t want it,"

Mi Le shook his head.

Jiao Ming slapped him with a hand as big as a fan, causing Mi Le to cough violently.

"You silly boy, still afraid of pain? Your superpower can only help the farm better as it grows. Don’t you want to help your Sister Pan’er?"

"I want to help, but this thing is too precious. I don’t want to eat it."

Mi Le felt it wasn’t necessary for him to consume it, given his SS-class talent; he truly wasn’t inferior to anyone.

"There’s still one left. Try it, and we’ll eat it after you do,"

Jiao Ming cajoled Mi Le.

The director of the orphanage chuckled, "Then give it a shot."

"Alright."

Reluctantly, Mi Le nodded, feeling it was a waste for him to eat it. But he knew his brothers and sisters cared about him, giving him the best to eat—Spiritual Fruits, no less. He had only seen Crystal Cores before and had never used them. Now he was about to leap to greatness in one bound.

"We’ll try soaking in a bath and eating the Spiritual Fruit tonight."

"Exactly, I’ll be watching over you. I also want to see what it’s like to eat a Thunder Spirit Fruit,"

Zhang Qi and Yang Zhengfei chuckled, putting their arms around Mi Le and teasing him.

"Don’t pick on me because I’m young. I think you just want to see me make a fool of myself."

Grumbling, Mi Le huffed.

"You’ve got it all wrong. We want to see you grimace in pain and cry like a baby,"

"Brother, you’re mean!"

Feigning indignation, Mi Le started yelling.

"Hahahaha!"
