Chapter 35: The Extraordinary Person's Handbook

The testing point was on the third floor. The girl called Orange was named Meng Cheng, and the boy who looked like a bad boy was named Meng Yang. They were brother and sister. The girl told Xu Zhi all this all at once.

Xu Zhi always felt that she was not too wary, but this was not a bad thing for him, so he did not remind Chengzi.

"Although the full name is the Special Incident Handling Department, it's generally referred to as the Special Investigation Division. The meaning of 'special' and 'investigation' seems to be a name that started circulating before the department was officially established."

"Don't be fooled by the large number of people here. Most of them are ordinary people. After all, extraordinary people are still a minority now."

Xu Zhi nodded while observing the people passing by. Many of them were wearing casual clothes like Orange, but some were also wearing black uniforms. Some were similar to the uniforms of the armed police, but there were some differences. The color scheme was black and gold, which was smart, simple and convenient for movement. Xu Zhi guessed that people wearing this kind of uniform would probably do something dangerous.

Although the remaining ones were still wearing black and gold uniforms, they were more exquisite and beautiful. Most of them were sitting in their seats or holding some documents.

The third floor was filled with more staff members wearing more exquisite uniforms. Seeing Chengzi and Xu Zhi, a woman came forward.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Xu Zhi glanced at the woman and found that she was very unfamiliar with Meng Cheng.

The staff here don’t know Meng Cheng.

The disaster happened just over a month ago, so this place was probably established not long ago. With so many people and so little time, it seems normal that the staff don't know most of the members. But Orange and the others are extraordinary people, not ordinary people. As extraordinary people, not being recognized by the staff only means that they are not important enough.

Is that why Orange tried so hard to win me over in the car?

Because the team is not valued and it is difficult to recruit new people?

Orange seemed accustomed to other people's strange attitudes. She smiled and said, "Sister, this is a new extraordinary person I met while on a mission. She doesn't know her own attributes yet, so I brought her here to see."

The woman glanced at Xu Zhi and nodded, "Maybe we have to wait about ten minutes. There's another person getting tested ahead of us."

"Let's take a look at the manual first."

Her manner was very experienced. It seemed that she had "picked up" new Transcendents many times before. She turned and walked to the counter, pulled out a brand new booklet, and handed it to Xu Zhi: "This contains some common sense that you will need after becoming a Transcendent. Be sure to read it. The manual is updated every month. After registering, you will be given an official website account, and you can check the official website for updates."

"Sit over there for a while, I'll call you when we get there."

Xu Zhi inexplicably felt like he had met the head nurse in the hospital when he was a child.

Meng Cheng sat down next to Xu Zhi and urged her to read it quickly, so Xu Zhi went along with it and opened the thin manual.

The home page is an introduction to [Attributes].

As she knew, the manual stated that there were eight types of attributes, and in addition to the [Moth], [Cup], [Blade], [Winter], and [Heart] that Xu Zhi already knew, it also listed three attributes that she did not know.

【Lamp】, 【Start】, 【Cast】

Xu Zhi was wondering why she rarely found these three attributes in Yuncheng?

Is it that their compatibility with Yuncheng is incompatible and they are unwilling to appear?

She looked at the description of each attribute in the manual and found that something seemed wrong.

The introduction is very vague, the wording is not precise, and it is not written very carefully. It seems that even the person who wrote this manual is not clear about the specific situation of each attribute and can only guess and judge based on some situations.

For example, the manual states the following about the [Moth] attribute.

Transcendents with this attribute are often mentally unstable, possessing many bizarre but unrealistic ideas. They enjoy fantasy and engage in actions beyond the ordinary, their stance wavering. It's impossible to categorize those with this attribute as good or evil; whether they are dangerous depends entirely on their current situation.

Xu Zhi was full of questions.

What a vague definition and what does "mentally unstable" mean!

How to put it, it describes some of the characteristics of the moth, but it is not accurate enough.

The official manual is so vague that I guess this is all we can really confirm at the moment. I will update it later if I make more accurate discoveries.

In other words, people in the outside world know what the eight attributes are, but they cannot give an accurate description directly like a game console. They can only judge based on the personality displayed by the extraordinary people who possess the attribute.

Xu Zhi looked at the attribute descriptions of several other ones she knew and found that they were almost the same as [Moth].

The description of the [Cup] attribute is quite special.

[Beware of any extraordinary beings with this attribute! Immediately notify the handling department upon discovery! Do not believe a single word they say, and do not accept any temptations they offer! Danger!]

My goodness, it seems that the fanatics outside are not good people either.

Afterwards, Xu Zhi focused on the introductions to the three attributes that she didn't understand. Although she knew that the introductions to the attributes in this manual were not very reliable, fortunately, they were not without merit.

【start:

Currently, there are relatively few Transcendents with this attribute. According to currently known intelligence, wounds inflicted by Transcendents with this attribute are difficult to heal, and they begin to become adept at certain things, such as picking locks.

Picking the lock???

Xu Zhi was completely confused. Although she already knew that this thing was unreliable, she didn't expect it to be to this extent.

Wait, not necessarily.

What if someone with this attribute could actually become skilled at picking locks?!

"That's not right. It should be related to picking locks. Combined with the word 'qi', it might mean 'open'?"

Xu Zhi was thinking in her heart, she didn’t believe that the people in the Federation hadn’t thought of this. It seemed that this little handbook was still hiding something.

That's true. How can you write down the truly important things in something that everyone can see?

After Xu Zhi figured this out, he continued reading.

【Cast：

As the name suggests, this attribute is related to casting, and its owner often has extraordinary talent for forging, manufacturing, and machinery.

After reading this paragraph, Xu Zhi's eyes flashed with thought. She thought, she knew which word the system had mosaiced in the forging of extraordinary items.

It should be this word [cast].

The sentence should be: Improving affinity with [Casting] can increase the success rate.

It is not surprising that this attribute is rare in Yuncheng. It is difficult for mutant animals to have talents in forging and machinery. Among the people left in Yuncheng, many are old, weak, sick and disabled. The rest of the people stay for various reasons. How many of them have the talent for [Forging]?

However, based on her understanding of the differences in descriptions of other attributes, Xu Zhi guessed that only a part about [Casting] was written here. The details would have to wait until she actually got a [Casting] attribute core to know.

Next, there is only the last one left, and just by looking at the name, it is the attribute that Xu Zhi cares about the most.

【lamp】

When seeing this word, Xu Zhi would think of the black fog that covered the sky and the sun in Yuncheng. Can the [lamp] bring a ray of light to mankind in the darkness?
