【Time Pause】

Introduction: You can pause time for one second. During this second, you are the only one in the entire universe who can feel the passage of time.

Level: Beginner

Tu Ran: What an advanced superpower, and the introduction is also very advanced... You are the only one in the entire universe who can feel the passage of time...

And her superpower only introduces herself like this - "literally"

Tu Ran: ...

If Zhao Yan only had this kind of superpower, Tu Ran would think that he obtained it by accident, just like the bug-eater who obtained the "Wheel of Time" by accident.

However, when Tu Ran saw the second and third superpowers above his head, she knew that Zhao Yan already knew about the inner elixir.

【Mind Control】

Introduction: Control any object you want within ten meters through your mind. The weight of the object depends on the owner's own strength.

Level: Intermediate

【Telepathy】

Introduction: Capture the thoughts of any species within ten meters, and transmit thoughts over long distances.

Level: Beginner

Tu Ran:?! Damn it!!

Didn't Zhao Yan hear everything she was thinking just now? !

Sure enough, Zhao Yan's gaze had been turned towards her at some point.

When their eyes met, a voice suddenly came to Tu Ran's mind: You can actually tell that I have superpowers? I really want to know, how did you tell that?

He was enticing her thoughts to move in the direction he wanted to know.

When he asks this question, the answer to this question will immediately appear in most people's minds.

Just like she used illusion—

Tu Ran immediately interrupted her own thoughts.

It was too dangerous. She almost lost control and got herself into trouble. As expected, thoughts are the most unpredictable thing.

It is now ten o'clock. The door of the conference room is closed and Xie Zhao begins to speak.

"I am very happy to see you all here. As usual, today's meeting will first announce--"

Tu Ran stood up quickly.

Xie Zhao paused as his words fell on his lips.

"Tu Ran, do you have any questions?" Xie Zhao looked at her. Out of tolerance, he did not get angry at her sudden interruption. Instead, he asked politely.

Her inexplicable behavior seemed particularly strange in the quiet conference room. Everyone looked at her, including Li Wenchuan next to Xie Zhao.

Tu Ran couldn't care less.

She absolutely could not stay within ten meters of Zhao Yan.

"My ear was injured in the threshold and my hearing is impaired. I can't hear clearly what Commander Xie said. I request to be closer to Commander Xie." Tu Ran said calmly.

Li Wenchuan frowned and looked at her, obviously not believing her words. He was already wondering in his mind why Tu Ran deliberately approached Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao paused, obviously not expecting this reason, and said, "Okay, sit wherever you want."

Tu Ran turned around, dragged her chair to Xie Zhao's left side in full view of everyone, and sat down confidently.

This distance was at least ten meters from Zhao Yan, so she was not worried at all that Zhao Yan would catch her thoughts.

She looked at Zhao Yan arrogantly, but the other party just glanced at her lightly, and then looked at Xie Zhao intently. Xie Zhao was talking about the losses of the pioneering team in the threshold.

"There are 842 people in our pioneer team's 36th intra-threshold pioneering operation. As of 10 a.m. today, the threshold gate was closed and 581 people came out. 30% of them stayed in the threshold and their lives or deaths are unknown. There are 440 people on site and the remaining 141 are being treated in the medical department."

Xie Zhao put down the electronic screen in his hand and looked at everyone present.

"The data this time is not very good. Our pioneer team suffered heavy casualties. I would like to ask you what the reason is?"

No one spoke, and more than 400 people lowered their heads at the same time.

As expected, no matter what age, everyone has an inexplicable fear of the "teacher's" questions.

Xie Zhao was their commander and had taught them some knowledge during the training. In a sense, he was their teacher.

"Tu Ran, tell me the reason."

His dark green eyes looked at Tu Ran, who was closest to him.

Tu Ran: “…”

So she should have lowered her head just now, right? It was too late. Everyone in the meeting room was looking at her.

This woman who once performed well in the training camp has been unknown for a year, and they are almost forgetting about her.

Li Wenchuan stared at Tu Ran and frowned.

She was too conspicuous today.

Tu Ran racked her brains to think of the right words, "Well... I think it's a matter of probability. The extent of casualties within the Threshold depends largely on where they are sent to after entering the Threshold. If more people are sent to a dangerous place, the possibility of survival will naturally be lower. If most people are sent to a place where the aliens' combat power is relatively weak, the probability of survival will be greater."

Xie Zhao nodded. "That is indeed one reason. However, according to the latest data released by the research institute, the number of pioneers deployed in each area of ​​the Inner Threshold World is almost the same."

"Deserts and islands are harsh areas with the highest mortality rates; plains and plateaus are low-risk areas with high survival rates. If the number of pioneers deployed in each area is the same, there will be no probability problem you mentioned."

Xie Zhao paused and added, "In other words, there will be slight fluctuations in probability, but it will never be as high as 30% of people being left within the threshold as this time. You have to know that in the first 35 pioneering operations, the most people left within the threshold was only 22%."

"As we gain more and more experience, the probability should be getting lower and lower. How come it is suddenly so high?"

Tu Ran pursed her lips and had nothing to say.

What should she say? Could it be because of the fight for the inner elixir? Killing each other?

For example, she dealt with three pioneers? Xie Zhao simply did not ask her any more questions.

Who can tell the truth about probability?

The probability of winning a million-dollar lottery ticket is 0.000001%, but some people may win twice in a row.

"There is one more thing I want to inform you of during this meeting," Xie Zhao said, "The second batch of pioneers have completed their training, and a graduation party will be held for them tomorrow. If any of you are willing, you can go and take a look and relax."

"good."

"I can see my junior classmates now!"

“You must go and see it!”

"I didn't expect they would graduate so soon."

"Finally, someone is sharing the burden on our shoulders."

The meeting room became lively, and everyone put aside their previous resentment and started talking to each other.

Xie Zhao raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet. Everyone shut up and the meeting room returned to the state where you could hear a pin drop.

"Zero should have told each of you that starting with you, we will use a combination of holographic bracelets and memory readers to reconstruct the scene within the threshold."

Everyone nodded.
