As an ordinary person, Yang Jia always thought she lived in an ordinary world,
Until one day, she unintentionally received a part-time job...
"Number 37651, welcome to be a temporar...
After everything was discussed, Yang Jia was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Zhuo Tianyang.
"I have a personal request, I hope you can agree, Yang Jia." Zhuo Tianyang said with a serious face.
Looking at his expression, Yang Jia thought he was going to say something embarrassing, but it turned out that he just wanted her to fight with him.
To demonstrate her sincerity, Yang Jia came here in person, not hiding her face. Now that the collaboration was settled, there was no need to hide the rest. So, she had already told Zhuo Tianyang about her previous infection with the DIE virus and her vaccination.
It's precisely this kind of candor that gives Zhuo Tianyang confidence in the upcoming collaboration. Although Yang Jia claims he stumbled upon his evolutionary abilities by accident, and there's actually no such vaccine yet, having a successful sample provides a concrete direction for research, which is naturally far more reliable than the blind men's groping.
In fact, after she told him this, Zhuo Tianyang immediately thought of the difference in Li Bai. With this precedent, Zhuo Tianyang wasn't surprised at all that Yang Jia, a person on Earth, had been infected with the virus and was still alive, while the Earth government was completely unaware of it. It even made him more certain that Yang Jia had a different background.
So he wanted to fight now, just to test Yang Jia's true strength.
You know, Zhuo Tianyang had teased Li Bai before, and the two had a fight in the game, even knocking down a mountain, and by accident they were dragged into that independent space.
However, Li Bai did not use that ability at that time, so it is not surprising that Zhuo Tianyang wants to weigh her now.
Of course, Yang Jia readily agreed to this proposal.
Although it seems that the purpose of the game "Reality" is not to fight at all, when she first explored the game, she did learn a lot of combat skills under the guidance of Bai Ting and Li Bai, which have been with her until now.
After arriving in reality, Yang Jia spent a lot of time familiarizing herself with her new powers. She was already familiar with the data detected by the machine, but she had never fought with anyone in actual combat, so she could not make a specific judgment on the level of her own strength.
So, Zhuo Tianyang's suggestion was actually what Yang Jia had in mind. However, her personality meant she wouldn't challenge anyone she found like Zhuo Tianyang did. If Li Bai was there, Yang Jia could still challenge her, but with someone else, it would be difficult for her to bring it up.
Although Zhuo Tianyang had said that the institute's structure was relatively loose, Yang Jia's observations after arriving here suggested that the place was well-organized, clearly not as simple as Zhuo Tianyang had described. Therefore, there were not only various laboratories but also training rooms.
This training room is far more professional than the training machine in Yang Jia's residence. It can set up various combat environments and simulate them, and it can also create virtual opponents. It can be said that it completely solves the problem that one person cannot train. It is obviously the latest scientific research achievement.
It seems that before finding this ally, the research institute had probably already conducted various attempts, including but not limited to cruel training of those lower-level humans with excellent physical fitness, in order to train a team that can be used for combat.
To be honest, this kind of thing can only be done at the grassroots level. If it happened somewhere else, it would have been discovered and eliminated by the government long ago.
Since Zhuo Tianyang didn't bring it up for now, Yang Jia didn't ask. After the two entered the training room, Zhuo Tianyang set it to arena combat mode and activated the training system. In an instant, the surroundings transformed, and the two stood in the center of the arena. There were even vague figures around them, acting as spectators, making occasional noises.
Neither of them used any weapons. After a moment of alert, Yang Jia took the lead in attacking. He stomped his foot on the ground and shot towards Zhuo Tianyang like a sword, while punching out at the same time.
Zhuo Tianyang took two steps back, avoiding the force that seemed to carry the wind and thunder, and then raised his hand to block, neutralizing Yang Jia's attack. He originally had a series of changes in his moves, but with this block, Yang Jia's strength was far beyond his expectations. Before he could make any subsequent changes, Yang Jia took advantage of the situation and suppressed him, attacking him.
One wrong step leads to another. After that, Yang Jia continued to suppress Zhuo Tianyang with his physical fitness. Even though he tried to fight back several times, he failed.
Yang Jia could actually sense that Zhuo Tianyang's fighting skills were far superior to hers. However, in the face of absolute strength, fighting skills were nothing but a joke, so she could easily suppress Zhuo Tianyang.
This is... the difference in rank!
Just like a lion fighting a rabbit, although the rabbit will bite when it is cornered, it is impossible for the rabbit to defeat the lion.
The battle ended with Zhuo Tianyang admitting defeat. After shutting down the simulated battle system, he looked at Yang Jia with a complicated expression, "Even though I heard you say this beforehand, I still find it incredible. This is no longer within the realm of humanity."
"You must have heard of Li Bai before," Yang Jia said. "Isn't she known as the 'human weapon'?"
"I just feel..." Zhuo Tianyang thought for a while, and then seemed to have figured it out. He simply said what he was thinking. "You know, I have received the most rigorous training since I was a child. I thought I would be no less capable than the most elite troops. But now that I see you, I feel that all these years of training are a joke. It's completely meaningless."
"That's not necessarily true. I believe even among evolved humans, there are different levels," Yang Jia said. "This kind of evolution is to adapt to the new living environment. So it has a standard value, but how much you can exceed the standard depends on yourself. If you lay a good foundation, you will surely be more powerful after evolution."
"That's true." Zhuo Tianyang laughed. "Let alone evolution, even if humans can practice cultivation, they will still be divided into different levels, based on their aptitude, cultivation level, and master..."
Absolute equality does not exist in this world.
When sending Yang Jia out, Zhuo Tianyang said, "Yang Jia, I have a suggestion. After listening to it, you can make a choice freely without any worries. - Maybe you can consider moving here."
Yang Jia was stunned, but then he heard Zhuo Tianyang say, "You also said that the body in the game doesn't seem to have the ability to evolve. In other words, if we want to study your body, we can only do it in reality. Living here is obviously the best choice. Also, although I don't know who is behind you, someone has been investigating you. You should know that, right? The cat that has been hiding from the research institute and government departments for so many years is best at this."
Seeing Yang Jia's expression soften, he continued, "Besides, since you haven't been exposed until now, wouldn't it be perfect to lead them to think that you are from the lower class and are our representative?"
Anyway, once the cooperation begins, most of the arrangements made by the lower levels will be exposed to the government. Adding Yang Jia to the mix is insignificant. This way, the other things can be hidden.
Although Yang Jia no longer had much power behind her, she did have a secret that was inconvenient to disclose, and it would be best if she could avoid confronting the government head-on. So after a moment's hesitation, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and pack my things and move in."
Yang Jia didn't actually need to pack much; after all, she had only been here a short time, so all she needed to take were some personal belongings. So that evening, she checked into the Tianyang Research Institute's base on the 20th floor of Zhongjing.
For unknown reasons, Zhuo Tianyang's parents rarely showed up, and it was he who handled the matter with Yang Jia. That evening, Zhuo Tianyang hosted a small welcoming banquet, inviting all the biological researchers to introduce them to Yang Jia.
Starting the next day, Yang Jia officially became a member of the lab. However, she was the one providing samples. Due to the current lack of research data, the lab could only analyze her samples and record the data for future use in the game.
Because it was all basic analysis, the progress was very fast. A few days later, when the game cabins of these people were delivered and installed, their work had come to an end. The next part would be continued in the game.
When the game cabin was being installed, Yang Jia went to watch.
People from the institute's computer lab came to install it personally and did some seemingly complicated debugging. The main purpose was to allow these researchers to arrive directly at Phoenix City after entering the game, rather than being randomly assigned by the system.
Since Tianyang Research Institute has this method, it is obviously impossible for the government to be unable to do it. No wonder it can accurately divide the territory in the game into several pieces.
After the crowd finished watching, Yang Jia decided to ask Zhang Zitao to come over and talk to them.
Only a few days had passed, and the first group of immigrants hadn't even left Earth yet. The decision on which military escort would be assigned was still being debated, with daily meetings taking place. Consequently, the game was relatively peaceful, allowing Yang Jia to smoothly introduce the Tianyang Research Institute's personnel to the Phoenix City lab building, injecting a lot of fresh blood into the biology lab.
According to her plan, both in the game and on Earth should be relatively stable for the next period of time. They also need to wait for the vaccine results before taking further action, so the only thing they can do now is wait.
Then, Yang Jia made a very bold decision.
