Chapter 95 95. Glow and Woodland
"Promoting from level one to level two is easy and involves almost no risk, but from level two to level three, danger begins to arise."
When Zhong Lingfan said this, Xu Zhi sat up straighter because she thought of the several times she almost got "lost" in hallucinations.
"According to my research, one of the current causes of death among the extraordinary people in Cloud City is advancement."
"When advancing, everyone will have a dream that they completely forget upon waking. Even I can only vaguely feel that I made the right choice in my dream and succeeded, so I advanced. However, some people who made the wrong choice, or didn't make a choice, or made a choice that wasn't wrong but not entirely correct, will fail to advance."
"Severe cases can lead to death or madness, while milder cases can cause coma or temporary madness."
Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows, guessing that the loser was probably too "obsessed". Fortunately, she had the narration to remind her, and she knew from the beginning that she should not let herself lose her mind in the hallucination, but other extraordinary people did not have this reminder.
But now that Zhong Lingfan knows this, he should warn other extraordinary people.
"After successfully advancing, all transcendents can obtain their own active abilities at level three, it's just a matter of sooner or later."
"Above that is the highest-level Transcendent I've seen in Cloud City, besides you. Level Four."
"And until level four, no extraordinary person has ever possessed two extraordinary abilities that can be actively used at this stage."
Zhong Lingfan emphasized the four words "except you" because she knew that Xu Zhi must be higher than level four, but she didn't know the details, and she couldn't ask Xu Zhi to cooperate with her in an experiment.
In her imagination, it is highly likely that the group of extraordinary people with extremely excellent talents will awaken the second extraordinary ability that they can actively display at level five, but she is not even sure what abilities Xu Zhi has. Just based on what she has shown, she can guess that there are at least two.
Xu Zhi just listened attentively and did not interrupt Zhong Lingfan.
"The danger of advancing from Level 2 to Level 3 lies in the fact that, before this, the extraordinary people were not prepared to face this risk. However, when advancing from Level 3 to Level 4, even with preparation, the mortality rate did not decrease."
"Everyone still can't quite remember what they experienced in their dreams, but it's certain that the dreams brought on by advancement are becoming increasingly dangerous."
"It's just that unlike the transition from level two to level three, where there is absolutely no memory left, after waking up from a dream from level three to level four, the extraordinary person can vaguely sense some residual emotions from the dream."
"From this analysis, we can see that dreams of different attributes are different. Transcendents with the same attributes are likely to have similar residual emotions, unless their personalities are completely different."
"Upgrading to level four, in addition to improving physical fitness and increasing supernatural energy reserves, more importantly, both passive and active supernatural abilities are enhanced."
At this point, Zhong Lingfan suddenly said, "For example, now, I can more clearly use my supernatural powers to judge a person's faction, their current mood, whether they are lying, whether they have killed anyone, and which attribute they are more inclined to. Acquiring knowledge is easier for me. I can see through the essence of things and even vaguely remember some of the content of my dreams."
It is not a combat-oriented ability, but it is very suitable for Zhong Lingfan. In the hands of the right person, it is not a weak ability.
"Oh?" Xu Zhi became interested: "What do you remember?"
Zhong Lingfan pondered for a moment, a rare moment. "It's a dream that's hard to describe in words. I only remember a small part of it. If I had to describe it, it would probably be... Glow and Woodland?"
"Oh," she said, and the corresponding things immediately appeared in Xu Zhi's mind.
It was a dazzling candlelight swaying in the air, and a silent, dark woodland.
It seems that everyone is going there.
Xu Zhi even had some guesses, perhaps the track mentioned by the narrator was related to the woodland?
For example, whoever gets out of the woods first wins, and the woods are full of dangers.
Sounds quite reasonable!
After thinking about this, she asked again: "Then what camp do you see me in?"
Zhong Lingfan did not give her a direct answer, but asked a question.
"If there are these categories of alignment: good, lawful, neutral, chaotic, and evil, what two words would you choose to represent your alignment?"
First of all there is definitely confusion.
Although Xu Zhi didn't quite understand the difference between the chaos that Zhong Lingfan mentioned and the chaos of the [Moth] attribute, he had to make his choice!
Secondly, kindness and lawfulness have nothing to do with her, and she doesn't think she is evil, so the only thing left is neutrality.
She told Zhong Lingfan the answer, and Zhong Lingfan smiled: "Congratulations, you got it right. In my eyes, you are in the Chaotic Neutral camp."
"Liberalism and freewheeling are the words that best describe this camp."
That’s right!
Xu Zhi sighed in his heart that this camp was quite accurate in judging people.
She nodded in agreement and asked, "Then what are you?"
Zhong Lingfan: "Secret."
Xu Zhi:?
You don’t want to tell me, right? Forget it. Please, she doesn’t really want to know!
"Since the strongest group of extraordinary people in the residential area have only reached level four, the data levels above that are only speculations and there is no actual evidence, so I will not discuss them."
Her words implicitly excluded Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi nodded: "Are you planning to make these things into a booklet?"
"Of course, they should know this so that they can have a clearer understanding of themselves and other extraordinary people."
That's not wrong.
"But you should charge!" Xu Zhi said in a loud voice.
"Knowledge is very important. You must have spent a lot of time and energy to research this, right?"
Zhong Lingfan closed his eyes, feeling inexplicably unsurprised at Xu Zhi's words.
"Okay, I'll charge you. I also need some funds for the next experiment."
Today's funding naturally refers to the core. In residential areas, the monetary system has been completely replaced. The core has replaced money. Whether it is hiring people to do things or paying wages, the core is used.
"Oh right." Xu Zhi suddenly remembered, "How's that core exchange office I asked you to set up?"
"That's good. Many people exchange them with high-level cores." Zhong Lingfan was actually studying the differences between high-level cores and low-level cores, but due to lack of manpower and lack of professional equipment, and not many attribute cores suitable for research, the experiment progressed very slowly.
Maybe Xu Zhi knew it, so she opened this exchange channel, but whether to tell it or not was up to Xu Zhi.
"Okay, anything else?"
"If you're alright, show me the way. I'll go talk to that group of people."
Zhong Lingfan shook his head: "That's about it."
"But who is this?"
Her finger pointed at Yu Shenwei, who was still unconscious on the other sofa.
Xu Zhi: “Uh”
