Chapter 7: Clear
It wasn't just Ke Yuan who didn't believe it.
Even his teammate Zhou Ziqian wanted to shake Qi He's shoulders and yell, "What are you asking me to kowtow to you? Isn't your superpower "strength"?!"
He paused:...Eh, force?
Yan Chuanbai glanced at it calmly, as if he had guessed it.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ke Yuan's blood rushed to his head, and he shouted fiercely: "...I will kill you!"
Lightning elements gathered around him and rushed towards Qi He.
Yet a whip is faster.
The branch in Meng Yan's hand transformed into a long whip, piercing through the lightning with pinpoint precision and striking Ke Yuan in the face. Snap!
"…Hold!"
The thunder that struck in the air was dispersed by the pain.
"How dare you attack my friend!" Meng Yan glared at him.
Behind him, Yan Chuanbai lowered his slightly raised fingertips.
The situation is tense and ready to ignite at any moment.
The system kept blaring in my head: [This is a complete mess. The plot! The characters! ! !]
"Oh, that's delicious."
Qi He pointed with relief, and the three people opposite who had been trying to hide from the beginning were caught off guard and knelt down in unison with three "plops" towards Meng Yan.
"You guys, don't fall behind."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Meng Yan and said, "Go ahead."
Meng Yan, “…”
She held the whip in one hand and looked at the people kneeling before her, feeling as if she were a queen.
The people around were also silent for a moment.
It is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
The other side reacted, spitting and cursing, and all kinds of supernatural powers rushed towards them! Just as it was about to turn into a large-scale brawl, a broadcast suddenly sounded from above the gray high wall:
"Fighting is prohibited within the base patrol area. Violators will be permanently expelled from Base I."
The young voice sounds very gentle.
The supernatural powers that were attacking mid-air were abruptly stopped—
Ke Yuan and his companions almost wanted to spit out blood: Damn it, they didn’t say anything when they were just being beaten, but now that it’s their turn to fight back, they already remember the rule of “no fighting”!
Qi He looked at the sudden stop of the action opposite him and raised his eyebrows slightly.
A light cough was heard beside him, and Zhou Ziqian whispered a reminder, "...you should also retract your magical powers first."
He seemed to have just remembered and stopped.
The people opposite them crawled to their feet in a miserable state, staring at them as if they wanted to eat them.
Ke Yuan mouthed: You wait.
Now it was their turn to enter the base.
Yan Chuanbai calmly withdrew his gaze and handed over his ID card. The code was recognized, and a beep appeared: [Verification passed, S-level superpower user.]
The other party paused: “……!”
Zhou Ziqian also recognized the person and entered. Beep: [Verification passed, A-level superpower user.]
Not bad either.
Ke Yuan and his companions had not left yet. They stared at Qi He and Meng Yan, waiting to see the results of their supernatural power test.
Meng Yan walked forward first and put one hand on it.
The equipment for detecting superpowers was developed temporarily.
Currently, it can only detect the level of supernatural powers. There are four lights on the top, marked from bottom to top: C, B, A, S.
The small lights lit up one by one from bottom to top, and then the car stopped at Class A.
[Registration successful, Meng Yan, A-level psychic.]
Ke Yuan and his companions looked unhappy: in their team of four, there were only two A-level ones.
The last one is Qi He’s turn.
After what happened just now, all eyes around him were focused on him, waiting to see his level test.
Qi He put one hand on it.
A warm power surged from the palm of my hand, and small lights lit up from below, finally stopping at: A.
…Only A? I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
Just as the registrar was about to write it down, the A-level light suddenly flashed rapidly. At the same time, Qi He felt his superpowers surge wildly. He frowned, and the "little genius" on his wrist flickered:
[Qi He▇▇Why▇▇▇I feel▇squeak…squeak…]
He pulled his hand away almost instinctively.
The next second: BANG!!!
The detector exploded.
…
After the exclamations died down, the scene became quiet.
Ke Yuan and others who were waiting to watch the show were stunned. The registrar who was almost affected was stunned, and the onlookers were also stunned.
Qi He looked at the scrapped equipment.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand from the air and gently broke the silence: "It understands human nature and is blown away by my handsomeness."
Everyone: “…………”
-
There was a queue behind waiting for testing.
Now that the instrument had exploded, the team was in turmoil again: "What's going on? Is it a super S-class?"
"Not necessarily. It could be an instrument malfunction."
"Then what should we do? We haven't tested it yet."
Ke Yuan said sarcastically, "Humph, maybe someone deliberately messed it up?"
Qi He turned around, puzzled, "Why are you still here?"
“…”
"Everyone, don't worry!" The registrar quickly brought another machine. "We have a spare machine. Everyone, line up in an orderly manner and continue with the registration!"
The team settled down again.
Qi He was about to reach out and take another test when the registrar suddenly stepped back with the instrument in his arms, a look of alarm on his face. "This is the only device left in our base. To be on the safe side, please don't take the test yet."
He sighed, "It can't withstand the construction..."
Qi He, “…”
He asked, "How do I determine my level?"
"Either go to another base for testing, or wait for the research institute to develop more sophisticated equipment. I'll register your case as A for now, but you can change it later if there are any changes."
An ID card was handed over: [Qi He, A (to be determined) level superpower.]
Qi He took it and put it in his pocket.
…
All four of them passed the registration and got on the car to enter the base.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhou Ziqian finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "No, the 'force' of your supernatural power is actually the 'force' of gravity!?"
Qi He nodded, "That's about right."
Almost? That's pretty much it.
Zhou Ziqian took a deep breath and turned his attention elsewhere. "Brother Yan, you're surprised too, right?"
"I'm surprised—" The shoulders in front of him relaxed, and Yan Chuanbai's drawn-out tone changed, "You didn't know."
“…” Zhou Ziqian.
After entering, I realized how huge the entire base is.
It is fully equipped with various facilities and divided into several areas according to their functions. The most conspicuous ones are two buildings:
One is the research institute in the center of the base, which is heavily guarded and shaped like a bird's nest, with an energy core supplied by a crystal core suspended above it; the other is not far away, a high-rise building that looks like a high-end apartment.
Qi He pressed against the car window, "What's that over there?"
Zhou Ziqian introduced, "That building is called 'High-rise'. It's where S-level psychics and other important people live."
important person.
Qi He thought for a moment, "Who was that person on the radio just now?"
Yan Chuanbai only said a name, "You Tianxing."
"..." Qi He turned around. A "smile" of mist was left on the car window. He praised,
"The explanation is very detailed, and I know what it is about as soon as I hear it."
Yan Chuanbai pulled his lips, "I'm glad you understand now."
Zhou Ziqian quickly glanced at the rearview mirror to smooth things over. "Ahem! Currently, Base I is under the joint control of three S-class psychics. You Tianxing is one of them, but he's not a combat specialist; he's a researcher. He developed that device you... so...cool."
Qi He understood, the core figure of Base I.
No wonder they have such a big say.
After a few words, the car stopped at a fork in the road.
"The left side is the residential area for A-level psychics. Brother Yan should be heading to the tall buildings. I'll go park the car, you guys get out first."
The three got out of the car and Zhou Ziqian drove away.
Meng Yan took out her communicator and said, "I need to go to the training base. Let's add the communication first."
The communicator is issued by the base and can only be used for communication.
Meng Yan, Yan Chuanbai and Qi He added respectively.
After Qi He added the number, he saw that Yan Chuanbai had already put away the communicator and didn't seem to want to add him, so he also put the communicator away.
The breeding base and Area A are in the same direction.
Meng Yan was about to leave when she saw Qi He standing there without moving. She turned her eyes and saw Yan Chuanbai also hadn't left. She looked back and forth twice and understood.
"Then I'll go over first."
Qi He nodded, "Okay, see you later."
Meng Yan walked away a few steps.
Qi He watched her turn the corner, and then he heard someone say beside him, "We also part ways here."
He turned around and saw Yan Chuanbai lighting a cigarette and then turning his head away from him to exhale. Two seconds later, he turned back to look at him, his eyebrows lowered, the expression in his eyes unclear, and his tone was calm:
"As agreed, I have repaid Uncle Qi and Aunt Wen's kindness, and from now on, we are even."
Qi He shook his head, "We're not even yet."
Yan Chuanbai paused and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Memories of the past that had been entangled again and again surfaced, and his expression turned colder.
"What's not clear?"
Qi He was helpless, "You are really a lucky fool."
He took out a bag of crystal cores from his bag and handed it to her. "I promised to pay you with the crystal cores. Do you think it's enough?"
The hand holding the cigarette suddenly stopped in mid-air.
The ash fell and his knuckles curled up.
Yan Chuanbai seemed to react, looking at the bag of crystal cores, wondering what was going on. After a moment, he reached out and took it, "That's enough."
Qi He was relieved, "Okay, now we're even."
Yan Chuanbai looked at him for two seconds and said, "Yeah."
He casually hung the crystal core on his belt, and together with the communicator in his pocket, it had a weight that was difficult to ignore.
"Then we'll say goodbye here."
Qi He said, "Don't worry, I won't contact you again."
There was a moment of silence before him. Yan Chuanbai moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but finally stopped talking and nodded nonchalantly.
"good."
Qi He turned and walked towards Area A.
Yan Chuanbai stood where he was.
It was not until Qi He's back disappeared at the end of the road that he withdrew his gaze and turned to go to the tall building.
-
On the road in Area A, sunlight fell dimly on the ground.
Qi He looked for his residence according to the code.
[Why did you part ways with Yan Chuanbai?] The system is like an ox that can't complete its performance, and the whole system is in trouble: [How to proceed with the key plot!]
Qi He recalled his past course of action and said, "Just stand up and leave."
【……】
The system choked and yelled: [You... after you gave the crystal core to Yan Chuanbai, you should have asked for a communication! Judging from his attitude at that time, he would definitely add you.]
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Qi He comforted him, "This kind of situation often happens in strategy games. You can't push too hard, you have to relax a little."
The system was shocked: [You're still playing strategy games!?] And if it were applied to Yan Chuanbai, is there something wrong?
"It's all work, so treat it with a normal attitude."
Qi He didn't feel anything was wrong.
He felt that he had done quite well. Yan Chuanbai hated to be bothered, so why should he bother to annoy others?
Accommodation was quickly found.
The last four digits of the identity code [1137] represent No. 7, 3rd Floor, Building 11, residential area.
The housing and expenses at the base are linked to the level of supernatural powers. Qi He is currently registered as level A and lives in a one-bedroom apartment.
As you push the door open, you will find all the basic facilities are complete.
There is a booklet at the entrance.
It is a guide to entering Base I, including maps, check-in instructions, base rules, etc.
He read through each note and folded it into his pocket.
After packing and resting for a while, it was almost time for dinner. Meng Yan sent a message saying that she had something else to do, so Qi He prepared to go eat by himself.
As soon as the door clicked open, two similar sounds were heard diagonally opposite.
Looking up, their eyes met.
The fluffy little one turned his head and said, "Captain! He's our second-time teammate, and he lives here too."
Ye Yi apologized to Qi He and taught him, "Jia Yan, don't say that to her face. It's rude."
“…”
Qi He exclaimed: What I mean is that it’s fine to say it behind your back.
The two sides had a brief friendship of mutual assistance, and the two people opposite happened to be going out to eat, so they went together.
After leaving the apartment building, Ye Yi took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Ye Yi, and her name is Jia Yan."
After a pause, she added, "The name suits the person."
Qi He turned around and looked: Where is Ru?
Jiayan seemed to understand his question and said shyly, "My last name is Mo."
“………”
Qi He pondered his words for several seconds before praising, "You have really grown up and lived up to my expectations."
It didn't take long to reach the cafeteria.
Qi He felt that more and more eyes were looking at him.
There was also a faint whisper of conversation:
"This is today's..."
"We've got a small team at the door. Their special ability is incredibly perverted, making people kneel down and kowtow."
"He also has a cool testing machine."
"...Wake up, it shouldn't have anything to do with being handsome."
Qi He, “…”
Ye Yi explained, "Those who came into the base today didn't have time to cook for themselves, so they all came to the cafeteria now."
Qi He shook his head and gave up. "Forget it. Reputation has its good and bad sides."
The system quickly said: [It was the past, but now it’s abnormal.]
Qi He allowed it to take advantage of any opportunity, after all, its killing power was pitifully small.
…
Walking into the cafeteria, it is very spacious.
There were quite a few people sitting in the lobby on the first floor, and there were people queuing in front of several windows.
Qi He and his friends chose a window and lined up.
While waiting in line, more people seemed to be looking at him.
Ye Yi also noticed it and smiled, "The cafeteria is the place where gossip is most easily spread, especially since half of the people here are people who arrived at the base today."
Mo Jiayan was very envious, "You are truly unrivaled."
Qi He regretted, "If Yan Chuanbai were here, we would have a lot of glory."
“…”Two people.
As they were talking, a voice suddenly came from the doorway, "Eh? Boss, isn't that the Qiang you've been thinking about?"
The voice sounded familiar, and Qi He turned his head.
There were two men and a woman standing at the door. The burly man was carrying a plate, the woman had a whip wrapped around her waist, and the man in the lead had a defiant look, a flash of red in his hair that was very striking.
Beside him, Mo Jiayan seemed to be slightly tense:…
Their eyes met, and the red-haired man raised his eyebrows.
He walked across half the cafeteria to Qi He, put his hands in his pockets, and said with interest, "Oh, it's you?"
Before Qi He could say anything, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Then, the sound of plates and chopsticks being put down could be heard. Everyone around stood up and stared angrily at the red hair.
“—It’s you!?”
The red-haired man said, "...?"
The author has something to say:
Red Hair: What the hell have I done wrong?
*Regarding the former teammates who abandoned Meng Yan: I won’t let them go^^ Meng Yan will slap herself in the face later [scatter flowers]
