Chapter 13: Urban Superpower Dragon Aotian
"You look like newcomers," the uncle subconsciously reached for his cigarette, but then, realizing the young men in front of him, he withdrew his hand in frustration. "I'm from the Special Abilities Department. You haven't heard of me, right? That's right. I didn't even know we even had such a department back then."
Regretting that he didn't see the same surprised face under the mask as he had seen back then, the uncle continued, "Don't worry about doing experiments or anything. If there were really experiments going on, so many people would have run away long ago." Could he say that he was afraid of being dissected and jumped out of the window to escape on the spot?
Tang Lingnan: ...
She seriously doubted that this elder brother had ever thought of this before.
"Don't worry that I'm calling you to register for force." In fact, registration was indeed required many years ago, but after the strange domains of Changbai Mountain, Shennongjia and even the Magic City appeared one after another, the number of people awakening superpowers increased day by day, and the local authorities really couldn't spare more people. "I will introduce these to every newcomer who comes here. This is one of my jobs. Of course, if you want to join the Superpower Office, I welcome you too." There was nothing he could do if people didn't believe what he said. After all, they were a serious department and didn't force people.
"Well, do you need me to introduce you to some common sense of the world of superpowers?" The uncle smiled, revealing a row of big white teeth.
Tang Chumo didn't hesitate and took Mo Bin and Tang Lingnan to sit opposite the uncle. Seeing this, the uncle felt much more relaxed. He was still a sensible kid. He said to him, many people only have this little bit of special talent. Why expect others to care about you? Don't think too highly of yourself.
"About fifty or sixty years ago, a strange world collided with the blue planet, and its fragments began to appear everywhere. Scientists miraculously discovered that within the fragments was an extremely desolate and strange world, where countless strange creatures roamed. Later, scientists named the fragments the Strange Domain and the creatures within them as the Alien Species," the uncle began to recite the script without emotion.
"The alien species are extremely aggressive towards creatures on Blue Star, but modern technology makes it difficult to effectively attack them. Fortunately, with the invasion of the strange domain, a special factor has also spread to Blue Star. Under the influence of this factor, some humans have evolved special abilities, which we call superpowers."
The corners of Tang Lingnan's mouth twitched. How many times must she have repeated this before she could say it so fluently? And it really sounded like the beginning of a cartoon. So, the system had been fooling her from the beginning. It was just an ordinary quasi-modern society, haha.
"Superpowers have a strong inhibitory effect on alien species. According to the evaluation of experts, superpowers are generally divided into lv1-lv5. lv1 can protect a family, lv2 can protect a village, lv3 can defend a city, lv4 can garrison a district, and lv5 can control a country. But most people can't even reach lv1 when they awaken their superpowers. They are just at a low level." The uncle shrugged with a hint of pride on his face. He was at the lv2 level, specializing in guarding this world. As for the matter of personally solving the problem, it can only be said that when there is a shortage of people, he can catch as many people as possible to use as donkeys.
When Tang Lingnan heard this, it was as if a flash of inspiration had dispelled the fog. She finally understood why there had been something amiss for so many years. She had never heard any news about foreign countries. Moreover, although smartphones had been invented in China a long time ago, related entertainment had declined greatly. She originally thought that it was just because the time had not come and Qingcheng was too small. Now she thought that it was just a false appearance. This strange domain was definitely coming with great force.
"LV5, how many people are there in the world now?" It was Tang Chumo who spoke, his eyes flashing, and his heart was inexplicably hot.
The uncle looked at him knowingly. He knew that young people all admired the strong. "Nowadays, there are only three famous level 5 masters in the world, and they are all national treasures of their countries." But he bet that there must be others hidden in the secrets. Although there may not be several, after all, level 5 is not a cheap cabbage. But if he said so, there is at least one master hidden in their country. Those who understand will understand.
"Besides that, psychics are divided into natural, animal, and special types. Natural psychics usually control elements of nature like earth, fire, water, and wind. They're familiar with the mages in the game, but these psychics aren't very good at enhancing their physical abilities, making them weak in close combat. Animal psychics can transform themselves into animals. As far as I know, there's a powerful psychic in North City who can transform himself into the legendary mythical bird Bifang. Their ultimate limit is extremely high. The animals they transform into will evolve as their psychic abilities level up, but the species generally won't change, just like a rabbit can't evolve into a wolf. These psychics are usually extremely strong physically."
"The trait system is so diverse that it's hard to summarize it into a single characteristic. It's usually a combination of the first two, but it's different. A special case like the space system is also a type of trait system, and the enhancements in all aspects are very even." There's also a type of plant system, but with a probability of nearly one in a hundred million, there's no need to introduce it.
After finishing the general explanation, the uncle was so thirsty that he took out the water cup he carried with him and drank a sip of water, quietly waiting for the three people's questions.
Then Tang Chumo and I are both of the special type, Tang Lingnan matched them one by one, she glanced at the other two who were silent, turned around and asked another question that she was very concerned about.
"Then where is this place?" Tang Lingnan was more curious about where this place was.
Oh, it's a little girl. The uncle said with a smile: "This place used to be a strange place, but now it has been cleaned up. Because it happens to be inside Qingcheng, it is used as a gathering place."
Tang Lingnan was startled, sensing the danger behind it. Even if the alien species in the strange domain were eliminated, the strange domain would not disappear. If there were more and more strange domains, wouldn't the Blue Star be full of dangers?
"How long does it usually take to upgrade superpowers?" Tang Chumo is not a fool, but instead of worrying about the future, it is better to improve his own strength to be real and reliable.
"Generally speaking, it takes one to two years to go from being a nobody to level 1, and five to eight years to go from level 1 to level 2. To go higher, talent and luck are both essential. There are not only alien species in the strange domain, but also many strange objects. Some alien species even have crystal cores in their bodies. These are all kinds of adventures." The uncle felt a little bitter. He had some talent and was lucky enough to reach level 2 early, but he had been stuck at level 2 for ten years without making any progress.
But the cyan crystal core he got was obviously not in the Strange Domain. Tang Chumo's expression under the mask was complicated and difficult to discern. It seemed that the Strange Domain might have already been quietly integrated into the Blue Star in an unnoticed corner. At this moment, he was even more grateful that he had the power and was more eager for stronger strength.
After a moment of silence, Tang Chumo took out the invitation and gently pushed it in front of the uncle. The uncle's expression changed significantly. He said in surprise: "You actually have an invitation from Chengyue Chamber of Commerce?"
The children of aristocratic families, no, the children of aristocratic families have known about superpowers for a long time. That is, it is the commoner genius who the children of aristocratic families want to recruit. Thinking of this, the uncle calmed down a little and felt secretly emotional. He didn't know which family in Qingcheng it was, but they actually refused the recruitment of the aristocratic family. They are like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
He saw it very clearly. If he had accepted the recruitment, he would not have come here alone. The other party would have been persistent. It seemed that the three people in front of him had good talents. However, killing alien species was not a game. Those were real weapons that drew blood. Moreover, working for a noble family would not be an exaggeration to say that he would be unlucky for three lifetimes.
He felt a little more admiration for them and generously explained:
"I guess you only know about the Chengyue Chamber of Commerce in the outside world. In the inner world, the Chengyue Chamber of Commerce is also a giant. Their shops can be seen in the gathering places of supernatural beings in various cities. This was made by a space supernatural being from the Chengyue Chamber of Commerce. With this, you can directly enter the Fengyan Gate no matter where you are in Qingcheng."
Gao □□ had deliberately asked them to come to the street for the banquet. Tang Chumo's smile froze, and he deeply hated himself for having suffered the loss due to his lack of education.
"Let me think about this invitation," the uncle frowned and thought for a while, "Oh, the Chengyue Chamber of Commerce is going to hold an auction in Qingcheng soon, and it seems to be held today. This invitation should be for that auction."
Auction
Tang Lingnan was confused. She didn't understand what the other party was trying to do. What was the point of the three of them going to the auction? They didn't have money to visit. Hey, maybe they would really let us go to visit. However, there was a problem. "This auction is a transaction with money."
"Of course it's money, otherwise what else would it be?" The uncle was amused. "But if you have any rare items, there will be professional appraisers to estimate the value. It's not impossible to auction them on the spot, provided that the value is high enough."
"As for the location, look over there, it's the tallest building."
Tang Lingnan looked over and saw a row of shops crowded together here. The building in the middle stood out from the crowd. It was magnificently decorated and exuded an air of "I am very expensive".
The infrastructure is being built at a very fast pace. Putting aside the gloomy environment, the familiar feeling is as warm as returning to the Blue Planet. Perhaps, it was built by a person with superpowers.
A scene emerged in Tang Lingnan's mind where a person with superpowers clapped his hands and erected several earthen walls. He inexplicably found it somewhat funny.
After thanking the uncle and following his voice in the background saying "If possible, consider joining the Superpower Office", Tang Lingnan and the other two arrived at the door of Chengyue Chamber of Commerce.
The reception staff received them politely. After Tang Chumo presented the invitation letter, they enthusiastically led them into the private room on the second floor. Tang Lingnan looked at the pretty young lady curiously for several times. For no other reason, this young lady was a genuine ordinary person. She thought there were only people with superpowers here.
The private room was spacious and bright. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the front provided a wide view, allowing a clear overlook of the entire venue. The interior was also luxuriously and comfortably decorated, with a variety of fruit snacks thoughtfully placed there. Tang Lingnan looked at her brother longingly. Tang Chumo carefully checked that there was no surveillance before nodding to his sister. Tang Lingnan immediately lifted her mask, sat on the sofa, and began to eat happily.
In the compartment just across the wall, Gao Rujiao's mood was not very good. She smashed a plate of delicate pastries in anger and thought bitterly, "Great, really great! Her good sister didn't tell her anything about Tang Chumo, and even asked her how she knew about Tang Chumo."
She watched indifferently as the bodyguard called in people to clean up the garbage, and suddenly an ominous suspicion arose in her heart.
No, at this time, her sister fell in love with Tang Chumo.
