Lin Han answered this question for Si Xu.
Everyone here is accumulated from rt0.
They were selected from various fields and voluntarily joined this research. Before entering this room, they will sign a life and death agreement. No one can guarantee that they can come out alive after entering. They were selected only because they have a higher chance of survival than others, and they are betting on that very unreliable chance.
As long as they can persist in this room for 3 minutes, without sudden death, explosion, loss of self-awareness, and physical changes, it means that their genes can withstand the energy enhancement of them. Such people will be left behind, and they are the "reserve" of enhanced people.
The reserve forces have to go into the room for training every day. When the RT value exceeds 10 minutes, they can officially enter the ranks of "quasi-enhanced people". Quasi-enhanced people continue to strengthen, and when the RT value exceeds 20 minutes, they can become real "enhanced people".
After becoming an enhanced person, they will gain certain abilities. Everyone has different genetic potential, and the abilities they gain are also different.
Only real enhanced people can have special abilities.
Enhanced people, quasi-enhanced people and reserve forces, all added up to no more than a few dozen people, they train together every day, familiar with each other, and have never seen a person become an enhanced person without undergoing energy radiation.
Lin Han sighed, "At the beginning, each of us had a very low genetic threshold. If we want to store more energy, we need to train every day, constantly refresh the threshold, and accumulate energy. This process is so painful."
At this point, Lin Han chuckled and sweated.
Si Xu frowned. This training method was a bit cruel.
Thinking of the young man with cracked skin that he saw when he came in, what kind of pain would that be? If he had been a little later, he might have really exploded and died.
Lin Han wanted to distract attention by talking, "Most of us were found by this department, and a small number found this department through various channels. I am one of this small number."
No one knew better than Si Xu how confidential this department was. For this small group of people to know the news, either their families were powerful enough to hear the news, or this department deliberately leaked it to let them know.
"I came here to fight for my life. I was in the advanced stage of bone cancer and was waiting to die. My family had tried everything but there was nothing they could do. They heard about this department from somewhere. My mother told me the truth and let me make my own decision.
I had only one thought at the time: since there was a glimmer of hope, I couldn't give up. I didn't want to die, and I couldn't imagine how my mother would collapse and go crazy without me. My father disagreed, worried that I would never get out if I went in. It was me. I insisted on giving it a try. My thoughts were very simple. I was already doomed. It didn't matter whether I died of illness or radiation. What if I was the lucky one who could be radiated and stimulate the potential of healthy cells and eliminate cancer cells? Wouldn't I be able to survive? "
Lin Han opened his mouth and said, "It turns out that I made the right bet. Otherwise, I would have been buried a lot..."
Lin Han's limit was reached soon, and the RT value was fixed at 00:13:06.
It was the tall and thin man who got up, dragged Lin Han out, handed him over to the people outside, and then came back again.
The tall and thin man was named Chen Xian, a very experienced enhancer.
He asked, "Have you ever thought about joining us?"
Si Xu said, "I'm thinking about it."
The tall and thin man was silent for a moment, "You should have seen those people outside. They are all semi-enhanced people and reserve forces selected from various places. They didn't die suddenly or go berserk when they came here. Each of them is the most precious treasure."
"There are even fewer real enhanced people, and there are less than 10 existing enhanced people. Our research on enhanced people started too late, and we have fallen far behind others. We don't want to be suppressed in some areas, so we can only try our best to catch up. I hope you can join us."
Si Xu said, "I will seriously consider it."
Si Xu had no objection to joining the special forces management department. The Si family has been in politics since his grandfather, and his father is the same. If it weren't for his family's indulgence, Si Xu would have no chance to enter the entertainment industry and would have gone into politics long ago.
Chen Xian didn't persuade him anymore. This kind of thing depends entirely on voluntariness and cannot be forced.
Chen Xian's RT value is 00:37:59, just one second away from 38 minutes, but this one-second threshold is not so easy to open up. If you force it to be strengthened, at the least, it will end up like a city in a jar, and at the worst, it may explode.
Chen Xian was helped out by someone who was either a quasi-enhanced person or a reserve.
Si Xu sat quietly, and people were helped out one after another. He saw that the person with the highest RT value was Chen Xian.
Si Xu was still sitting in the room until everyone left.
He didn't know how much time had passed. He was sorting out the whole story. If he could also display the RT value, did it mean that the energy in his body was consistent with the radiation energy here?
But he and Jiang Ge had not undergone painful radiation training. If they were the same, where did the unknown energy in their bodies come from?
Si Xu could give the answer without much thought - the ingredients in the Magic Fish Shop.
The energy he felt after drinking the Huaqing Fruit Wine was real.
Obviously, the ingredients in Lu Jiu's hand should have been radiated by unknown energy, thus carrying unknown energy. When the ingredients are eaten, the unknown energy is absorbed by the human body, which makes people feel very comfortable and has some magical healing effects...
In this way, the unknown energy in the ingredients does not seem to be the same as the unknown energy here.
At least the ingredients of Lu Jiu will not kill people, and they are very nutritious. However, the unknown energy here can easily kill people...
Si Xu was a little confused for a while, but he was sure that the ingredients in Lu Jiu's hand were absolutely different from the ingredients outside.
His head was aching slightly, and Si Xu frowned. He didn't feel any discomfort in his body, only a headache.
Si Xu touched the small wine bottle in his pocket, and it seemed that this could relieve the headache.
Everyone outside was staring at the screen without blinking. They felt that a long time had passed, and Si Xu still hadn't reached his limit.
They were shocked and terrified at the same time. The unknown was the most terrifying. Two people who had not undergone radiation training suddenly became enhanced people, and their strength was so strong. In addition to them, were there other people who inexplicably became enhanced people?
If ordinary people can become enhanced people by themselves, why do they have to endure the pain of radiation training?
Lu Yu was a little anxious. Si Xu had stayed in there for too long. He was afraid of something happening. He wanted to get him out, but he also wanted to see what his RT value was. He was anxiously spinning between worry and expectation.
"It's here! It's the limit!" someone suddenly shouted.
"How much? What's the RT value?" The person standing at the back couldn't see the screen and was very anxious.
"Fuck!"
"This is impossible!"
"Is it wrong? There can't be such an RT value!"
"What is it? I'm so anxious!"
When Lu Yu saw the RT value, he was stunned and pulled Shi Shuqing beside him.
"Come and have a look, am I seeing things?"
Shi Shuqing looked again and again, and confirmed again and again before saying: "01:07:11?"
Lu Yu repeated in a daze, "One hour, seven minutes and eleven seconds..."
Lu Yu suddenly said excitedly: "This, this is the RT of the second phase of the enhanced people, right?" Shi
Shuqing: "It's the RT of the second phase."
"Second phase, second phase..." Lu Yu repeated it twice, and suddenly laughed, "Great! We finally have a second phase enhanced person! What did that person say last time?"
Shi Shuqing continued, "He said that if we want to cultivate a second phase enhanced person, it will take at least three years. After three years, the number of their third phase superpowers will be more than our second phase enhanced people."
"Look! This is the result of setting flags randomly, whoever sets it will fall..."
Lu Yu was so happy that he suddenly remembered, "Is there anyone to help him out?"
Everyone: "..." They
were so shocked that they forgot about it.
A group of people rushed into the dark room, and before they could go in to get him out, Si Xu opened the door and came out by himself.
Everyone: "..."
He is too independent. With such amazing grades, he can still walk out by himself. He is completely different from them. Every time after reaching the limit, they will be dragged out by their companions like a dead dog.
Look at him, the male god is the male god. Except for his pale face, there is no sign of any wolfishness.
Someone reached out to help him, but was rejected by Si Xu.
He was fine, just had a headache and dizziness. It was already the limit for him to walk out by himself.
"Where is the bathroom?"
"Here, I'll take you there." Jiang Ge squeezed over and supported Si Xu who was unsteady on his feet
. Si Xu vomited as soon as he entered the bathroom.
"A Xu, how are you? Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Do you want to be in pain?" Jiang Ge was locked outside the door and was running around in a panic.
Everyone who came over was a little puzzled. Si Xu's reaction was different from all of them.
After they reached their limits, they felt severe pain all over their bodies, as if their bodies were about to be torn apart.
Si Xu rinsed his mouth and washed his face over and over again. The cold water made his swollen and painful brain feel a little better.
He opened the door and came out, facing a bunch of faces with different expressions.
Lu Yu personally came over with a cup of green unknown liquid, "Use your ability to release some energy, then drink a cup of energy water to replenish it, and you won't feel so bad."
Si Xu looked around, not knowing how to release his "telekinesis" ability. Was he going to catch someone?
Si Xu's sight stopped on the messy chairs, medical beds and treatment equipment. He pulled, pushed and slid the medical equipment to the wall, straightened the medical bed, slid the messy chairs over neatly, and put himself in order.
Everyone: "..."
Their second-stage enhanced person, who currently has the highest RT value, has this ability?
"Such an ability... isn't very strong?"
"The RT value is so high, and the ability is actually this..."
"He just released some energy, not his full strength, right?"
"But such an ability is obviously an auxiliary ability, with such a high RT value, it's a pity..."
Si Xu's hearing is very sensitive, even if they talked in a low voice, Si Xu still heard it clearly.
Lu Yu said: "If this ability is really used, it may become a big killer. Imagine, if he controls not a chair or a medical bed, but a weapon or a dagger, attacking the target from all directions, what is the possibility of the target surviving?"
Everyone: "..."
Absolute kill!
"Your ability should be of the spiritual type. This type of ability is the most complex and changeable. It is difficult to deal with and it is easy to cause problems. You should pay attention to regulating your emotions."
Lu Yu handed him the cup. Looking at the turbid and terrible liquid, Si Xu didn't want to take it. "What is this?"
Can this thing really be drunk?
Lu Yu said: "The juice squeezed from green vegetables, celery, spinach, lettuce and broccoli. These are vegetables grown in an unknown energy radiation environment. They contain unknown energy. Drinking it can replenish the consumed energy and nourish the body."
"This is a good thing, drink it quickly."
Si Xu: "..."
Si Xu: "Why don't you fry it and eat it like this?"
They are all eaten, but Si Xu thinks that frying them separately can give these vegetables a decent look.
Lu Yu: "It cannot be fried, as the energy will be lost easily. Directly juicing it can retain the energy to the greatest extent. After training, each person can only have one cup."
Si Xu: "..."
Si Xu: "No, thank you."
He absolutely would not drink such a horrible thing!
Everyone: "..."
Someone raised his hand actively, "Captain, I can drink it for him!"
"I can too, I haven't had any energy water today!"
"Me, me, me!"
"I want to drink it!"
Si Xu: "..."
Jiang Ge came over and whispered, "It's wise for you not to drink it. The taste is really hard to describe, not to mention the texture..."
Lu Yu was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, "Some of them you even refuse to drink. Do you know how difficult it is to cultivate these energy vegetables? The researchers have spent a lot of effort and improved the seeds time and time again to succeed. I must remind you that the energy consumption in the body is too high. If there is no unknown energy to replenish it in time, it is very likely to die from energy exhaustion. There are many such examples at home and abroad."
Lu Yu said solemnly: "When we enhanced people use our special abilities, we consume the unknown energy stored in our bodies. Only the unknown energy can replenish our consumption, so you must adapt to this kind of energy water, drink it!"
Si Xu: "..."
He was a little curious, which one has more energy, the energy water here or the ingredients of Lu Jiu.
Si Xu took it and took a sip.
Maybe because they didn't want to waste the energy ingredients, they didn't filter the juice after squeezing it, and some unbroken residues were mixed in the green juice, which tasted terrible.
He didn't feel any energy in the first sip, so Si Xu drank it all in one breath. The taste of the mixture of various vegetables remained in his mouth, which was very uncomfortable and his stomach was blocked. He felt like he was going to vomit at any time.
Si Xu took out the small wine bottle from his pocket, unscrewed the lid, took a small sip, and suppressed the discomfort in his stomach.
A cup of energy water mixed with various energy vegetables has less energy than a piece of silver fish meat from the Magic Fish Shop, and it is even more incomparable to a sip of anthocyanin fruit wine.
Lu Yu looked at him and asked curiously, "Is the wine still drinkable?"
Si Xu glanced at the small wine bottle and said, "Yes."
Lu Yu: "Is it not tasted different?"
Si Xu was not sure whether ordinary wine would change its taste after being irradiated by unknown energy. If it would, wouldn't his wine that did not change be very special? Zhou Mu saw Lu Jiu giving him the wine bottle, which could easily expose Lu Jiu.
It is not difficult to see from the dining rules of the Magic Fish Shop that Lu Jiu is trying his best to conceal the ingredients, but he is not very successful in hiding it. Outsiders may not be able to tell the difference between the ingredients of the Magic Fish Shop, but anyone who has eaten there once will know the difference of the Magic Fish Shop, so it is unlikely that Lu Jiu will completely hide the ingredients.
Seeing that he did not speak, Lu Yu looked at the small wine pot, "Can I have a taste?"
"No." Si Xu refused.
He knew that the ingredients could not be kept secret, and he could only delay as much as possible, unless Lu Jiu was willing to expose it himself, otherwise Si Xu would not let Lu Jiu's kindness become his trouble.
Lu Yu stared at the small wine pot, "Such a treasure? Was it given by your girlfriend?"
Zhou Mu in the crowd raised his hand, "I can prove that it was not given by my girlfriend, but by the owner of the Magic Fish Shop."
"Huahong fruit wine?" Jiang Ge was surprised, "Quick, give me a sip."
Lu Jiu said that the Huaqing fruit wine was not brewed well, and he took it away and didn't let him drink it, so Jiang Ge could only think of Huahong fruit wine.
Si Xu held the small wine pot in his palm, and his refusal was obvious.
Lu Yu stared at Si Xu for a long time before saying, "You saw Zhou Mu staring at the Magic Fish Shop. He left no trace and has been missing for a whole year. He is not a counter-detection specialist, nor is he a specialist in this area. He is just an ordinary singer who did not finish college. How did he do all this?"
Si Xu clenched the wine bottle, "What do you want to say?"
Lu Yu said, "We suspect that he is not an ordinary person, not a genius with obvious genetic potential, but just like you, he has become an enhanced person. Zhou Mu stared at the Magic Fish Shop and also We want to find evidence. If we can see his ability with our own eyes, we can directly judge him as an enhanced person. If he is not an enhanced person, then his potential to become an enhanced person is also very high."
Si Xu understood, "Is this how you choose people?"
Lu Yu nodded, "Yes, we find these people who are not ordinary in daily life and tell them about the existence of enhanced people. If they are willing to try, we will be very happy. If they are not willing, we will not force them. Just sign a confidentiality agreement. After all, it involves life and death, and only they have the right to decide."
"Have you asked him?" Si Xu felt that if they really asked, they might get a reply from Lu Jiu, "I just want to open a store."
"I haven't asked yet. The outside world has spread rumors about the magic fish shop, saying that it can solve dysmenorrhea, blocked milk ducts, and beauty and skin care. We are very curious whether the food in the magic fish shop is really as magical as the rumors say. We want to send people to try it, but we can't get in line." Lu Yu helplessly threw his hands.
"I heard that you often go there to eat. How do you feel?"
Si Xu said expressionlessly, "Which of the dysmenorrhea, blocked milk ducts, and beauty and skin care do you think I can feel?"
Lu Yu: "..."
There was a chuckle from all around.
Lu Yu coughed, "Besides these, do you have any other feelings?"
Si Xu seemed to think about it, "Does it count if you want to eat more?"
"Yes, yes, yes! The food made by Jiu Jiu is so delicious. I often go there with Ah Xu for free meals." Jiang Ge interrupted.
Si Xu glanced at him with a cold look, "You can shut up now."
Jiang Ge: "..."
Jiang Ge muttered, "It's really delicious."
Lu Yu looked back and forth between Si Xu and Jiang Ge, "Do you guys go there often?"
Jiang Ge was about to say "yes", but he noticed Si Xu's gaze and quickly shut up.
Si Xu said, "Not very often, I go there occasionally."
Lu Yu stared at Si Xu and laughed, "Don't be so vigilant, we are a regular department and we won't do anything illegal."
Si Xu: "Some things are not illegal and there is a lot of room for maneuver."
Lu Yu saw Si Xu's protective attitude towards Lu Jiu and didn't ask any more questions. Even if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer, and the answer he got might not be true. If they wanted to know something, they would check it themselves.
Strengthened personnel belong to the special forces security management department. Once they are hired, they are full-time.
Si Xu can join them, but he has a condition. He will not stay here for training. He is very busy and has no time to waste here.
Lu Yu hesitated, "Training is to become stronger and to survive the mission. I suggest you still participate in the training."
Si Xu: "Forget it, I don't have much time anyway, I can't waste it here."
Lu Yu: "..."
Lu Yu: "What do you mean by little time?"
Si Xu pointed to his head, "Here, there is a tumor, and I can't have surgery. I have to live one day at a time."
Lu Yu: "..."
Lu Yu immediately took Si Xu for a check-up.
There are doctors and researchers in the base, and the equipment is very advanced, so it is very easy to check a disease.
After hearing the doctor's examination results, Lu Yu felt very complicated. He finally had a second-stage enhanced person, but he was sick. Lu Yu no longer forced Si Xu. Si Xu could come to the base at any time. It didn't matter if he didn't come. They would take the initiative to contact him if there was anything.
Seeing Si Xu join this department, Jiang Ge was also a little eager to try. He had lived a wealthy life since he was a child, and he had no worries about food and clothing. He never thought that he would become a useful person one day, but...
he had been ordinary for so many years, and it was impossible for him to suddenly become a superhero. He could only run very fast and might have an RT value, but he had no other advantages. He couldn't even beat the reserve here.
His strength and possible RT value were completely mismatched. For the sake of his own life, Jiang Ge decided to be an ordinary person.
Jiang Ge had already learned how to control his abilities. After that, he just needed to master it. He and Si Xu went back together.
Zhou Mu drove Si Xu and Jiang Ge back. It was already dawn. They had been tossing around all night.
Si Xu needed to catch up on his sleep, and Jiang Ge collapsed on the sofa in Si Xu's house and fell asleep.
That day, Lu Jiu went to the store as usual. When passing by the door of Chen's Noodle House, he found a big car parked at the door and someone was carrying a table out from inside. Lu
Jiu felt strange and took a closer look.
Boss Sun, who was trying to attract business for his hotel, saw Lu Jiu's doubts and whispered:
"Some time ago, when you went to purchase goods, there were many people gathering at the door every day. Chen's Noodle House took the opportunity to launch a seafood noodle with a very high price. They told the public that the seafood was from the old street and they got it from the same store to ensure freshness."
Lu Jiu frowned. There was only one seafood store in the whole old street, the Magic Fish Shop. What Chen's Noodle House meant was that they both used the same seafood?
This could only deceive customers who had not eaten at the Magic Fish Shop. As long as they had tasted the food at the Magic Fish Shop, they would know the difference.
"After the news got out, many of the customers who came to wait for you to open the store went to try the seafood noodles. Some said that the seafood was not fresh and had sand in it, and it was not worth the price."
"Chen Dong and his wife didn't take it seriously. Later, someone ate seafood noodles at his house and went home with vomiting, diarrhea and high fever. They went to the hospital for a check-up and were told that they were infected with some bacteria. The family came to the store to make trouble and demand compensation. Chen Dong's wife was a tough one and refused to admit that it was their seafood that was the problem. The two sides quarreled and pushed each other, and Chen Dong's wife knocked down an old lady who was eating noodles. She was bleeding from the head and lost consciousness on the spot."
"This is a big trouble. Two people are in the hospital at once. Both families are not easy to deal with. The one with the problem went to the Food Hygiene Department to report Chen's Noodle House, and someone from above came to investigate... You know, if they run a restaurant like this, they either don't investigate or they will find problems. They will be ordered to close down and make corrections, and they will also have to pay a fine."
"The store can't be opened. Chen Dong and his wife will be responsible for the medical expenses of the two families. If they don't pay, they will sue them and put them in jail... I heard that the old lady fell quite badly and had a cerebral hemorrhage. She was a healthy old lady who could come to the old street to eat delicious food by herself. As a result of this fall, half of her body can't move, and she can't even speak clearly. She is still lying in the hospital now."
"As long as the old lady is not cured, the family will not be discharged from the hospital. Every day she is in the hospital, the Chen Dong couple has to pay for it. After that incident, even if Chen's Noodle House is open, no one goes there to eat. A lot of money has to be sent to the hospital every day. The noodle house can't be run anymore and they are planning to sell it."
Jiu Jiu doesn't care about Chen's Noodle House. What he cares about is what Boss Sun said
, "Come to the Old Street to eat delicious food." Jiu Jiu frowned, "Which delicious food should we eat in the Old Street?"
Boss Sun looked at him strangely, "Except your Magic Fish Shop, which other shop in the Old Street can be called delicious food?"
The Magic Fish Shop has long become a synonym for "Old Street delicious food". Jiu Jiu has a guess, but he is not sure.
"I heard from the old lady's family that the old lady wanted to come and eat for a long time, so she asked the driver to take her here, but she found that the Magic Fish Shop was closed. She was hungry at the time, and she heard that Chen's Noodle House and the Magic Fish Shop get their seafood from the same store, so she went to try it. Who knew that such a thing would happen..."
Boss Sun sighed and felt sorry for the old lady.
The guess was confirmed, and Lu Jiu felt bad. He thought of Grandpa Lu who adopted him despite the opposition of his children, which made him always feel soft-hearted towards the elderly. The old lady was attracted by his Magic Fish Shop, but suffered such an unprovoked disaster. If the old lady could come again, Lu Jiu would be willing to grant her special privileges.
After saying goodbye to Boss Sun, Lu Jiu went into the store to prepare lunch.
By now, the diners have figured out the boss' temper. If he says five tables, then it means five tables. Even if you wait from morning till night, don't expect him to change the system. In this way, there are fewer people blocking the door. As long as the five tables are occupied, they will not wait any longer. No matter how long they
wait, they will have no food to eat. It is better to hurry up next time. The five tables of guests have already eaten, and Lu Jiu is waiting for them to finish.
The door of the store was opened again. Lu Jiu thought it was Si Xu, but it turned out to be a woman wearing sunglasses. The woman was tall, dressed in a professional suit, with long curly hair. After she entered the store, she looked around and finally set her sights on Lu Jiu in the kitchen.
The woman walked to the bar, took off her sunglasses, and stared at Lu Jiu, "Can we talk sometime?"
Lu Jiu: "..."
He hadn't figured out how to reject Jiang Xiwen yet, but he didn't expect Jiang Xiwen to find the store herself.
Lu Jiu asked her to go to the private room first and poured a glass of water and brought it over.
Jiang Xiwen looked around the private room. "It's well decorated and the environment is very comfortable."
Ru Jiu put the water on the long wooden table. "Have you eaten?"
Jiang Xiwen put down her handbag and sat on the wooden chair. "You want to treat me to a meal?"
Ru Jiu: "What do you want to eat? I'll prepare it."
Jiang Xiwen teased him, "It is said that it is difficult to get a seat at the Magic Fish Restaurant. Boss Ru has a heart of stone and will never break the rules he sets at any time. Are you going to make an exception for me?"
Ru Jiu: "The rules cannot be broken. The boss is also a human being, and everyone has selfish desires."
Jiang Xiwen finally smiled, "I was worried that there was no room for you here, so I came here after eating."
"Sit down, let's talk. You can tell me anything you think."
Lu Jiu sat down on the opposite side, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I want to quit the entertainment industry."
Jiang Xiwen had obviously thought about this question, so she was not surprised to hear it in person.
"Are you dissatisfied with me as your new agent, or do you simply not want to be in the entertainment industry anymore?"
"I had this plan before I knew Sister Wen was my new agent." The company should have realized this, which is why they let Jiang Xiwen be his agent.
"Your contract still has 11 years left. Have you thought about how much you have to pay in breach of contract?" Jiang Xiwen took out a lady's cigarette and held it between her lips. When she wanted to light it, she remembered the "No Smoking" sign on the door of the store and put it down again.
"I have thought about it. I accept any amount." Lu Jiu was mentally prepared.
"Problems that can be solved with money are minor problems. The worst thing is that the company doesn't want to let you go and sets all kinds of conditions that are difficult to meet."
If Lu Jiu was still an unknown and obscure 18th-tier star, the company would probably be eager for him to terminate the contract so that they could earn a penalty. But now Lu Jiu has the Black Star Bead and the Magic Fish Shop, both of which are very famous. Lu Jiu's personal popularity is also increasing. It is unlikely that the company will give up such a golden nest.
"If we don't give it up, we can only waste it like this." Lu Jiu can't sing anymore.
