Chapter 46: The History of the Mighty
"Of course I chose to be the chosen one..."Rorschach replied without hesitation, where in this world is there a good thing that can be reaped without paying?
If he had the opportunity, he would have chosen to be the chosen one, because he was already well aware of the benefits of power.
If he has no strength, when will he be able to pay off his family's debts and favors?
If he has no strength, when will he be able to make a good life for his father and mother, who love him?
If he has no strength, when can he wait until he can play with the girl who was originally dismissive of him?
"Well, that's good." Wang Xiaobo finally nodded with satisfaction, and said with great interest: "A complete career system can not only allow you to get valuable attribute points, but also allow you to obtain unimaginable [career expertise], and those [professional skills] that vary from person to person are also very worth looking forward to... All in all, there is no harm in being the chosen one. ”
"In addition, after becoming the Chosen One, you can also obtain some equipment or medicines to increase your strength by completing some tasks issued by the Earth Mastermind."
"And one most importantly... You can also know and obtain the names and methods of the items you need to complete the [Third Energy Level] through the Earth Mastermind. ”
"Therefore, only when you become the chosen one can you be qualified to become a strong one... If you look at the guys on the leaderboard, they're all pickers, and it's understandable! ”
"The third energy level, the transition period..."Rorschach finished reading the "Regulations on the Safety Management of the Able", and reluctantly returned the iPad to Wang Xiaobo, saying, "I'm really looking forward to it!" ”
Article 1 of the Regulations on the Safety Management of Capable Persons:
Once the capable person enters the third energy level, he must join a [team] and become the [Chosen One] with the financial support of the senior member of the team to ensure the survival rate of the capable person.
If the ability is not sure about the [Selector's Pre-Selected Mission] due to insufficient combat effectiveness or other reasons, the ability can postpone or reject the pre-selected mission, and take self-protection as the first priority. Because there is only one life, and there is no wave.
"I'm now the third in the third level transition period, and I've been doing so for decades... After all, it's too difficult to make up for talents! Wang Xiaobo quickly flipped through some information, seemed to be typing something, and suddenly said: "I think it's better for me to add something to you that you can't see from elsewhere, such as.... For example, the history of the capable! ”
It's only been a little over three years, and it's already history? And what's going on with that 'decades'?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, Rorschach might as well continue to listen, after all, history can be used as a mirror.
"The number of those who were able in 2012 was already very small, and a large number of them had already died in the test, so even fewer survived... These old-timers are almost negligible. ”
"In 2013, although there were a lot of people at the beginning, once a creature like a human has any special ability, some people can't help but use this special ability to do something they usually want to do but dare not do, such as..."
"For example, take revenge on people who looked down on or offended you before, forcibly sleep with the object of your long-term crush, and stretch out your black hand to the goddesses and gods who have been itching for a long time..."
"Man's evil cannot come out under the supervision of the law, but what about when he thinks that the law cannot control him? The desires and desires of the heart will slowly leak out..."
"The growth rate of strength does not match the speed of the improvement of the mind, it is easy to lose your mind, become irritable or greedy, do you think it can still be good?!"
"Even if you are patient occasionally, you will never endure humiliation and spit on yourself like Superman or Spider-Man, so..."
"So, when some miscellaneous people who can be easily killed are provoked and insulted in front of the powerful, some of the capable are a little more ruthless..."
"So, when there is a shortage of money, they rob the ATM with their faces covered in the middle of the night, and some directly plan to go to the black-eat-black, or go to the rich people's homes to rob the rich and help the poor, or simply blackmail..."
"So, when faced with the object of their choice, some capable people can't help but 'appear' a little, or simply go directly to the middle of the night to force-push it on the shelf..."
"This kind of hormonal impulse that doesn't care about anything once the blood is in the brain, you should be very understandable, right?"
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaobo glanced at Rorschach, and suddenly Rorschach seemed to have stepped on a landmine: "What are you doing with me?" I'm a serious person! ”
Wang Xiaobo was noncommittal and continued: "There are also guys, for a chance to take the exam, they suppressed their strength in an intramural sports meeting, and then ran an Olympic gold medal result of 100 meters and 8 seconds in one go... No one is a fool, where can such a thing be hidden? How can it be hidden! ”
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear it! If you don't have that much ability, don't do such arrogant things..."
"Soon, these reckless fellows were discovered by a machine called the state, and naturally the official organization of the capable was established first..."
"Their intelligence network is too developed, after all, in modern society, there are eyes everywhere in the sky and on the ground, even if the camera on your mobile phone in your hand, whether you are connected to the Internet or not, it is very likely to be remotely monitored..."
"As long as they know the existence of those with abilities, they can quickly find out useful information, and then turn out some people with unbearable abilities like picking up stones!"
Speaking of this, Rorschach's whole body trembled violently, as if he had used his mobile phone many times when he was doing errands the day before yesterday.
"And those of us from ordinary backgrounds can only run into each other in the vast sea of people, and even for a long time, we think that we are the only protagonist of the destiny!"
Hearing this, Rorschach couldn't help but think of the situation when he saw Wang Xiaobo this morning, 'You are not the only one who has talent'.
If it weren't for the Nightmare King's announcement, which made him know that there were many of his kind in this world, and speculated about the establishment of the superpower agency, he would have jumped out to take revenge!
"Compared to the professionalism and teamwork of the official-side organization, we can only fight on our own like a plate of scattered sand, plus our ability at that time was very weak and generally below the third energy level, so we were quickly defeated by the [Planet Laboratory] jointly created by the five hooligans..."
"And at that time, I didn't even awaken my 'natural ability', but because my appetite suddenly skyrocketed, I ate a cafeteria, and then I was caught in the [Petri Dish] of [Shenzhou] without the ability to resist, and started the work of 'being studied'..."
"That year, basically all the pickers and abilities were officially controlled, and they had to go to some dangerous places to steal some resources that were completely unusable..."
"What resources are you not needed?" Rorschach asked casually.
"What else could it be? The supernatural creatures in the cracks of space..."Wang Xiaobo, no, it was Lord Wang Xiaobo who said with disdain: "There are also those other worlds, and they are also drooling greedily. Of course, what they want is definitely not any garbage such as oil and gold, they want martial arts and secret methods, they want elixir, and they want the artifact godhead god-whip..."
"The most outrageous thing is that a damn Lord Baylor wants some female elf slaves, and what bullshit is about optimizing the genes of the royal family... Most of them are completely unreliable things.... It's like using the Atlas as a treasure trove for them to use at will! ”
"In short, Planet Lab intends to use the Chosen ones as cannon fodder. They say that they are for the future of all mankind, but in fact, they want to treat us as consumables in exchange for high-end luxury goods produced in the other world! ”
"That year, we called it the Dark Age!"
