Chapter 194

Who would believe this nonsense?

Breaking through genetic limitations and shattering the upper limit of one's innate talent level may sound wonderful, but it is actually very unrealistic.

Ulaina said that a long time ago, not everyone had thought about "breaking the level cap."

The desire to explore the possibilities of human evolution, the desire to develop the upper limit of potential, the desire to explore the boundaries of advancement of supernatural talents... this temptation always exists in the hearts of those with supernatural powers.

"At that time, the Alliance even approved a special fund specifically for exploring breakthroughs in research, and the funds were allocated to the most prestigious research institutes in the upper three districts." Ulaina carried her combat box on her back. This action made the slender combat box look more like a musical instrument, and Ulaina looked like a music student who had just finished art training.

As Wulaina walked along the school road toward the cafeteria, carrying her special "instrument" and Jiang Yunu, she continued, "However, this experiment was ultimately halted. The official conclusion was that the level of supernatural talent could not be improved, and there was no need to invest unnecessary resources in a hopeless research."

Jiang Yunu looked up the information himself and found that this research was stopped 78 years ago, and its initiation time can be traced back to almost a century ago.

Even with official endorsement and a research institute that has gathered the alliance's most elite talents and poured in resources, it is still unable to achieve a breakthrough. Humans are declared unable to adjust the level of their supernatural talents through external intervention.

"If the government can't do it, it's naturally even harder for the public to do it."

At dinner time, Pei Ya and Jin Qing joined the table - Pei Ya had something to do today and was unable to attend the battle between Jiang Yunuo and Wu Laina. As soon as she returned to school, she immediately contacted Jiang Yunuo and then rushed to have dinner together; Senior Jin Qing had classes to attend in the afternoon, so after class she sent messages to Wu Laina and Jiang Yunuo respectively, asking if they wanted to have dinner together.

When they gathered together, they just filled up a table for four.

Like Pei Ya and Jiang Yunu, both first-year students, their personal terminals are peaceful and there has been no intrusion of spam advertising information.

But it’s different for Jin Qing, a second-year student.

"Someone in our grade has received it, too." Jin Qing simply dragged out the screen of her personal terminal, set it to a size suitable for four people to view at the dining table, and showed the spam emails that had not been deleted to the other three.

Jiang Yunu and Pei Ya leaned their heads together to take a look.

——An exaggerated and eye-catching title, with descriptive words even more exaggerated than the title, and the words “Gain the power to transcend genetic limitations” specially highlighted in bold and colorful colors.

There are also exclamation marks that seem free.

No matter how you look at it, it's a standard advertising spam.

Wulaina wasn't surprised by these emails. She said, "Ever since the official research was halted, these kinds of folk advertisements pop up almost every once in a while, but without exception, they're all scams. And the corresponding organizations' strongholds are quickly tracked down by the three major associations, who then shut them down at the source. Whether it's the Snow Wolf, Golden Horse, or Spirit Deer Associations, they're all very sensitive to supernatural power fraud crimes within their jurisdictions and will actively address them."

"But because they're basically just scams, the punishment isn't too severe," Jin Qing added. "This also gives these scammers room to come back."

Jiang Yunu stared at the email and blinked slightly.

"Will anyone believe this kind of advertisement?" Jiang Yunu asked.

Pei Ya said, “Yes.”

Pei Ya was the one who met Supervisor Waite in the restaurant with Jiang Yunu that day. A weekend was enough time for this "intelligence officer lady" to find out some detailed information about the people from the Snow Wolf Psychic Association who came to the commercial street that night.

But at this table of four with her senior classmates, Pei Ya said nothing.

After the temporary group of four people for lunch disbanded, Jin Qing needed to go back to the study building to practice, and Ulaina had to do her equipment maintenance. Both senior students didn't seem to care too much about the mass spam emails, and Pei Ya grabbed Jiang Yunu's sleeve when leaving the cafeteria.

Jiang Yunu speculated that Pei Ya might have been planning to grab her wrist at first.

The intelligence officer wanted to pull Jiang Yunu directly to a place where they could talk more appropriately, but because the white-haired girl's clothes were very loose today and her arms could be tucked into the wide sleeves of her sweatshirt, her partner failed to determine the specific position of her arm inside the sleeve and only pulled up a part of the sleeve.

Pei Ya: “…”

Jiang Yunu immediately and consciously rolled up his sleeves, exposing his forearms for people to grab.

This time, Pei Ya grabbed Jiang Yunu's arm and said, "Follow me."

The two left the road, which was at its peak during dinner time, turned two small turns, and entered a campus path.

Jiang Yunu said, "Dear intelligence officer, what 'secret information' do you know?"

Pei Ya didn't hide it from Jiang Yunu: "This kind of 'junk mail' will probably spread among the first-year students soon."

Jiang Yunu pondered for two seconds. She had a premonition when she heard Senior Jin Qing say that a few second-year students had received it.

She said, "It will be sent out starting with the seniors at Golden Uriel Academy and going down from the most senior class?"

Pei Ya corrected him, "To be more precise, it starts with the senior students of all the advanced supernatural schools, and then spreads out from the highest grade to the lowest grade."

Why start with the seniors? Most of the seniors at the Advanced Ability School, like Solok, the former captain of the Golden Uriel Academy team, are currently transitioning from campus life to internships at the Ability Association. Some may already be interning at the Association, having been exposed to various basic tasks.

In this world, nothing can make people realize the limitations of their supernatural talent level better than walking from campus to the association and transforming from a "student" into a real "supernatural warrior".

"It might be okay in school, where the people you're competing with are all students," Pei Ya said. "But if you join the Psychic Association, you might find that every member of the Association who's worthy of a place was once a top student in school. You'll see far more geniuses, powerful individuals, and even great warriors who stood at the pinnacle of their era."

Where there is comparison, there will be gap, and the psychological gap will easily stimulate the desire to continue moving forward.

Students who are eager but don't have much social experience are the perfect target group for spam ads.

The Ole family has been engaged in business for generations, and they may not have made much achievements in developing the potential of supernatural talents, but their people are born with a keen business sense and can already judge who the best audience for this kind of "promotion" is.

"Were all the people who were cheated in similar incidents in previous years students?" Jiang Yunu was a little confused. She always felt that this incident seemed not so simple and could not be regarded as a simple large-scale fraud propaganda.

And just as the two seniors, Wulaina and Jin Qing, had said, wouldn't incidents like these in previous years have been quickly discovered by the Psychic Association, who would then quickly track down the source and bust the group attempting to commit fraud? Even though they "resurfaced" year after year, at least they didn't seem to pose much of a threat.

"Most of them are students, as well as young psychics in the association, and people who have been stuck in the same position for too long and think they can get a promotion if they break through the upper limit, and are temporarily obsessed with it." Pei Ya shared all the related intelligence she had discovered. She knew that not every piece of information she heard was important, and many of them might just be insignificant rumors outside the "core area".

But Jiang Yunu listened attentively to every word she said.

The white-haired girl has a magical quality that allows her to appear very focused even when listening to the most boring things.

"Superintendent Waite of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association has issued a warning ahead of time," Pei Ya said softly. "Combined with the Snow Wolf's inspections on the commercial street last weekend, I heard they're tracking suspicious individuals and detecting elemental energy in the area. It seems they're tracking someone."

"It's also possible that they are checking whether there are other things 'made' by the target in the local area." Jiang Yunu kept listening, but her brain was constantly integrating known information and updating her deductions and judgments.

But no matter what inferences Jiang Yunu made about the intelligence information brought by Pei Ya, and how she and Pei Ya tried to figure out the secrets behind Supervisor Weite's actions that night, these inferences were ultimately just inferences.

At least so far, the first-year students of the two advanced supernatural schools have no way to find out the secrets of the association's mission.

The only thing Jiang Yunu could be sure of now was that she had indeed advanced to the fourth round of the "Challenge Cup" school competition.

The list of players who advanced to the fourth round has been announced, and Jiang Yunu's name is on the list along with the names of several regular players on the school team.

The fourth round is the final round of the "Challenge Cup" school competition. It is also the round to determine the school ranking and compete for tickets to the district competition.

Naturally, there was a small discussion in the school that Jiang Yunu was able to enter the final round of competition because of the "recommendation" of the active members of the school team. However, Jiang Yunu herself accepted this well. She even took the initiative to approach someone when she heard him say that she was "recommended".

"Are you talking about me?" Jiang Yunu asked directly.

The people on the opposite side who were originally whispering suddenly shut up.

Jiang Yunu was still waiting for the other party's reply, but the other party began to remain silent, so she had to sigh and gave up seriously discussing with the other party whether the recommendation was possible or not.

In fact, as long as the other person insists on saying "yes", the white-haired girl might even agree and say, "Actually, I think so too."

Didn't the Golden Uriel Academy team deliberately "send" Jiang Yunu to the final round? Jiang Yunu himself believed that they did.

The list of the final round of the "Challenge Cup" campus competition was announced. Apart from her and the school team members, the rest were basically familiar faces. From the third round onwards, there were very few freshmen in the opponent group. Most of those left on the playing field were old students who had participated in two or more rounds of the "Challenge Cup".

The school team needs new blood. They want to recruit newcomers who have a positive attitude towards fighting, and they also want to test the abilities of newcomers in battles.

To some extent, Jiang Yunu felt that she had indeed reaped the benefits.
