When Si Mingyu returned to the hotel at night to practice his supernatural powers, he suddenly discovered that his abilities had improved by leaps and bounds. Before, he could only electrocute a few fish, but now he has the power to kill a person with no problem.
This stemmed from his perception of speed while racing on the track, a phenomenon known in Buddhism as sudden enlightenment and in Taoism as the realization of the Way of Nature. This kind of thing has always been impossible to explain, and even in martial arts novels, it's something you only encounter once in a while.
Furthermore, individual experiences are different, and the conditions for enlightenment are also different, so there's no way to rationalize this. However, as long as you cross this hurdle and enter the third stage of Yaoguang Realm, no matter what kind of supernatural power you have, it will have practical value.
For example, Si Mingyu's lightning ability has reached the power of killing people, and he can cast it more than ten times a day, which is very impressive. The same goes for some auxiliary abilities, such as clairvoyance. Before, he could only see through the thickness of one or two sheets of paper, but after reaching the third level of Yaoguang Realm, he can see through at least ten centimeters, so he can easily see through the documents inside a suitcase.
He immediately called to tell Jiang Xueyi the good news.
"From your description, it seems that you have indeed advanced to the third level of Yaoguang Realm. Although you have good talent, it also shows that you have worked hard enough. You still need another promotion assessment, which will be after the event is over." Jiang Xueyi was very happy for him after hearing this.
It has only been more than three months since Si Mingyu awakened his supernatural powers, but he has already reached a level that many people cannot reach in half a lifetime. The potential of family inheritance is certainly important, but one of the reasons is that Si Mingyu never stops practicing no matter what happens every day.
Another reason is physical training. Any superpower is derived from the conversion of physical energy, especially a superpower like Si Mingyu's that focuses on lethality. The stronger the physical fitness, the greater the power. This is a conclusion drawn from the data collected from many superpower users.
Otherwise, why had Si Mingyu been assigned a fitness trainer from the very beginning? Improving his physique and charm was one thing, but strengthening his physical fitness was another.
After chatting for a while, Si Mingyu asked, "Sister Xueyi, I have a question. Why did the company arrange for me to participate in this supercar challenge?"
Although he had a vague idea of the answer in his mind, he still needed to confirm it formally.
After hearing his words, Jiang Xueyi smiled and asked, "I guess you have guessed something, right?"
"Well, I guessed some of it. I think the company is trying to create a persona for me." Si Mingyu admitted it straightforwardly.
"Yes, it's to establish your persona. The company has confidentiality regulations. Before you reached that level, I couldn't tell you. It's only because of your family's connection with the company's top management that you are treated better than others. Now that you have been promoted to the third level of Yaoguang Realm, it's time to tell you."
"Sister Xueyi, is it convenient to talk about this over the phone?" Si Mingyu reminded.
"That's fine." Jiang Xueyi continued, "The company's treatment of people with special abilities varies based on the purpose and level of their abilities. The more practical the ability, the higher the pay, and the higher the level, the higher the pay. Do you understand this?"
"I understand." This is easy to understand and does not require further explanation.
"The second thing is the working environment. If you work domestically, there's basically no problem with safety. But if you go abroad, your life could be in danger. Naturally, the salary will be higher. You saw that when you signed the core employee agreement."
"Yes, I know that." This clause was indeed included when the agreement was signed, and Si Mingyu also agreed to it.
"Then there's the division of labor. First, there are fewer people with special abilities, and even fewer of those with practical uses. Half of them are already quite old when they awaken their special abilities and reach the third level of the Yaoguang Realm. If these people were working domestically, it wouldn't matter if they were given any identities, but if they go abroad, some identities won't be arranged."
"What's the reason?" Si Mingyu was puzzled. Logically, there was nothing the company couldn't do, right?
"Everyone has their own life trajectory. For example, if an ordinary white-collar worker who was still a company employee before the age of 30 awakens superpowers, the company will at most assign him a senior position in his original unit within a few years. Even at that level, he can't become the boss, right?"
"I think I understand something." Si Mingyu thought thoughtfully.
"Then just say it directly. You awakened your superpowers early and have great potential, so the company assigned you the identity of a wealthy person. But wealthy people don't appear suddenly; they must have a reasonable development trajectory. Moreover, the company needs a real wealthy person who can stand in the public eye and withstand the verification of various foreign institutions."
"So the company arranged for my father's friend to appear and let me inherit this legacy?" Si Mingyu asked.
"Yes. Although Gu Shuanghui is not well-known to ordinary people, his history of making a fortune is well documented. It won't be difficult for those professional intelligence agencies to find out."
"If I hadn't awakened my superpowers, someone else might have inherited this legacy?"
"That's right. Many people with suitable abilities are already middle-aged by the time they reach the third stage of Yaoguang Realm. Where would they get an inheritance? Even if they arranged to win the lottery, how much money would they get?"
"That's true, but I still have a question." Si Mingyu thought of the key to the matter.
"What's the problem?"
"My father contributed 50,000 when Uncle Gu invested in Penguin. Why did I inherit it later instead of giving it to him when my father was still alive? If our family is so rich, why don't we use it to improve our lives? This is obviously unreasonable." Si Mingyu expressed his doubts.
"You've thought about it very carefully, but let me ask you, do you know what your father does?"
"Well... I don't know." Si Mingyu never told his father what kind of job he did, nor did he let his family ask.
"I can tell you part of it. Your father's family was very well off at the time. Gu Shuanghui asked your father to contribute 50,000 yuan to raise the 500,000 yuan needed for the investment. The agreement was signed at that time. Not long after that, your father was selected to participate in a confidential research project. He left his wealthy family and the comfortable coastal city he lived in for Xijing, where he lived in hiding for over a decade."
Jiang Xueyi's words brought back Si Mingyu's memories. It was true that his father met his mother only after he came to Xijing, and he had lived in the staff housing compound since he could remember.
"Although Gu Shuanghui is a wealthy man, how could he possibly find someone protected by the security department if your father didn't take the initiative to contact him? It wasn't until your father passed away and an internal notice was published that he learned all the details and transferred the shares to you."
"Sister Xueyi, which of these things you said are true? Which ones were arranged by the company?" Many of what Jiang Xueyi said were true stories in Si Mingyu's memory. He even really believed that his father and Gu Shuanghui had invested in Penguin together. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it was.
"What I said is true if any intelligence agency investigates it."
