I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 27: New Distribution Method

“Move back a bit, I’m going to transform!”

After Du Gang’s command, everyone stepped back, he then immediately took off his belt and began his transformation to see how tall he could get with it.

“Thump!”

A four-meter-tall muscle giant suddenly appeared where Du Gang previously stood. The sheer size emanated a very intense oppressive feeling, not to mention his entire body was like a bronze statue, looking incredibly terrifying.

An Ya and the others were undoubtedly frightened and instinctively took a few steps back.

It’s not that they didn’t trust Du Gang, but he looked too terrifying, like a monstrous beast that could eat a person in one bite.

Du Gang gave his fist a slight squeeze and indeed, the force was stronger than ever. Simultaneously, he noticed that his reaction ability appears to have improved!

Normally after transforming, he would feel a touch sluggish and not as agile. But now, the sluggish feeling was nowhere to be sensed. Not only that, he even had an illusion that his current colossal figure was his true form!

Immediately after sensing this change, he quickly returned to his normal size. It wasn’t that he was wasting time. After all, his transformed state could now last three hours which was plenty. The real reason was the other five people were almost ten meters away from him now.

After he returned to his normal state, he quickly caught his baggy pants that were about to fall to the ground and tied his belt tight again.

“Du Gang, you’ve grown taller again ..

Ma Li, looking at the now normally sized Du Gang, spoke in disbelief.

“Grown taller?”

Du Gang rotated his body and glanced around. True enough, the others who he could previously speak to at an almost equal height, now he had to lower his head to make eye contact with them.

Du Gang was already 1.75 meters tall. After acquiring the system, his height grew once. But after the activation of his nervous system now, he grew taller again.

“Yeah, you’re probably about 1.9 meters tall now, your muscles seem to be more developed too!”

Chu Zixuan, who was only as tall as Du Gang’s chest, gestured roughly and estimated Du Gang’s height.

Looking at Du Gang now, his entire body was covered with ferocious muscles. His upper body was bare, revealing his robust chest muscles and sharply defined abs.

Because each transformation would rip his upper garment, he couldn’t bother to wear one anymore and left his bulging muscles exposed.

His lower half was covered in an enlarged school uniform pants. The pants belonged to a 300 lbs fat guy from the school before. Even after Du Gang had grown taller, the waist still seemed very loose. But fortunately, there was a belt holding it up.

Every time he transformed, he would habitually loosen his belt…

After discovering all of this, Du Gang finally understood.

Everyone else had finished half an hour ago. During this, Cao Yongyi also awakened his superpower after consuming the ninth crystal. However, Ma Li and Ji Zhiwen showed no signs of awakening even after consuming ten crystals.

Cao Yongyi’s superpower was a very standard fire element ability that allowed him to control flame.

Besides, Chu Zixuan and An Ya only felt a slight enhancement in their superpowers, but no qualitative change.

That means, their abilities did enhance, but ten red crystals were just not enough for an upgrade!

“It seems my speculation is correct. Each of us has a different level of talent. The naturally awakened, like Du Gang, have the best gifted. Then, based on the number of crystals consumed, we can determine our gifted level. An Ya and I are one-crystal level. Cao Yongyi is a nine-crystal level, and Ma Li and Ji Zhiwen are probably more than ten-crystals level. The exact number needed to awaken is still unclear!”

Chu Zixuan continued after seeing everyone in agreement, “So, I suggest that we adjust the crystal distribution principle according to the power and talent levels, asigning more crystals to the stronger and more talented…”

As these words were spoken, Du Gang and An Ya showed no reaction, while Ma Li, Cao Yongyi, and Ji Zhiwen’s faces turned sour.

Among those present, these three were the least talented.

“Isn’t this a bad idea?”

Cao Yongyi hesitated for a moment, then voiced his opinion. Now that he had awakened his superpower, he felt he deserved a say as well.

Once he took the lead, Ji Zhiwen followed suit with a comment.

However, Ma Li did not speak. He felt torn. On the one hand, he was not too keen on this plan, but, it seemed to favor Du Gang and he was at a loss as to how to proceed.

“This isn’t a time of peace anymore, nor is it our past days of shared plenty.

The principle of hard work receiving high rewards should always prevail…”

Chu Zixuan’s face was somewhat stern, he continued, “Crystals are not money or anything else. They can enhance our power…”

“Right now, our priority is dealing with safety issues. We need abilities that can eliminate the bugs…”

“Let me give a simple example. With thirty crystals, Du Gang’s strength has already upgraded twice, becoming much stronger. For someone with lesser talent, thirty crystals might barely awaken them. Isn’t that a waste?”

“In these apocalyptic times, danger is everywhere. Apart from the bugs, we don’t know if there are other spatial channels or sun-resistant creatures that might appear…”

“At such times, shouldn’t the crystals be given primarily to people with superior talent and significant contributions?”

This time, even Cao Yongyi was left speechless.

Because the crystals they had ingested were obtained through Du Gang and Chu Zixuan’s efforts. The others had not lifted a finger.

Though An Ya had awakened almost at the same time as Chu Zixuan, due to her abilities and personality, she had not hunted down a single crystal.

Cao Yongyi was silent and Ji Zhiwen did not dare to speak more. All he could do was frown, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Du Gang observed everyone’s reactions but didn’t rush to make a decision.

Instead, he asked, “What’s your suggestion on how to distribute them?”

Actually, he did not want to distribute these crystals to everyone. If Ma Li wasn’t around, he did not intend to share them at all. But now that they formed a team, he could not go back on his words. Chu Zixuan’s speech was indeed to his liking.

Upon hearing it, the corners of Chu Zixuan’s mouth turned up slightly, unnoticed by others. However, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he calmly said, “My suggestion is to distribute the crystals according to strength, talent, the effectiveness in combating bugs, and contributions to the team…”

“To be specific, Du Gang has made the greatest contribution and he is the most talented and strongest. He should get forty percent.”

“My mental powers can detect potential dangers and extract crystals from the bugs. Thus, I should get thirty percent.”

“Although An Ya is highly talented, she has not contributed and we’re not sure if her superpower will be effective against the bugs. So, she should get ten percent!”

“Cao Yongyi’s Fire Element superpower has been tested and we know it’s just ordinary fire. Besides inflaming the bugs’ fury, it cannot inflict serious damage. His talent is also not as superior as An Ya’s… However, considering the future uses of fire, such as boiling water to prevent bacterial infections, he should also get ten percent.”

“And Ma Li and Ji Zhiwen, who haven’t awakened their superpowers yet and are thus non-contributors, will share the remaining ten percent!”

An Ya didn’t have any major objections. She had not contributed much, and as Du Gang’s gaze fell on her, she agreed straight away.

Next was Ma Li. Without waiting for Du Gang to look at him, he immediately agreed.

And just like that, four people had agreed.

Cao Yongyi had some other ideas, but Chu Zixuan’s logic could not be argued with. Given that Du Gang seemed to accept it, he too found himself agreeing.

When it got to Ji Zhiwen, he had lost all the right to voice an opinion. Du Gang merely glanced at him lightly and he immediately agreed.

He wasn’t foolish and could see that in Du Gang’s eyes, he was disposable and could be discarded anytime.

If he objected, he reckoned Chu Zixuan would propose to kick him out of the team on the spot.

He started to understand that Chu Zixuan was merely Du Gang’s ‘trained dog’, purposely playing the bad guy. Maybe even these words were taught to him by Du Gang himself.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Du Gang didn’t put on any airs and said, “Well, Chu Zixuan makes a good point. Since no one has disagreements, let’s distribute them this way for now. If anything changes in the future, we can adjust it then!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Zhiwen had a sort of ‘I knew it’ expression on his face and exchanged a quick glance with Cao Yongyi, communicating their shared thoughts without leaving a trace..
