Chapter 278: The Age of the Mighty?
In the early morning, the county seat of Chengdu is not much different from other third-tier cities, and the young people who jog in the morning and the old people who get up early to exercise appear in the parks and streets in twos and threes, and there is nothing special at all.
But in this seemingly ordinary city, there is a secret that is not a secret. More than 10 days ago, the entire county was under the control of the emergency army for 12 hours, and then returned to normal. Hundreds of buses were carrying men, women, and children from other places, while engineering units and engineering teams that had been urgently recruited worked overtime to set up a temporary camp of considerable scale in the hilly terrain not far outside the county seat.
A steady stream of building materials and materials were transported into the camp, and in just one week, there was a small town with an area of nearly one square kilometer near Chengzhou County. The town is inhabited by anomalies who have been sent from all over the country.
Yes, the Adeptus, a magical being that once existed only in a variety of mediums such as film, television, and animation.
In the face of the sudden upheaval more than ten days ago, the attitude of the rabbit family is extremely intriguing. They set up a public website as quickly as possible, calling on all capable people who have gained the ability to register on the website, and in less than 24 hours after the incident, they successively threw out more than a dozen relevant laws and regulations on the "capable people."
These laws and regulations make it clear that all 'capable persons' do not need to replace their current third-generation identity cards, but only need to go to the relevant local authorities to make a report. At the same time, the corresponding treatment and state subsidies are also clearly published on the website, and all those who are able to obtain a minimum allowance of 3,000 per month with no upper limit depending on the strength and practicality of their ability, and can also obtain the status of civil servants.
The first batch of people who were on the front line were directly given deputy section-level treatment, and they were also recommended on the headlines of major websites for several days in a row as a typical example.
In order to dispel the fear and distrust of the ability to be sliced and studied, the bigwigs at the top took turns and made many public speeches on this issue. There is only one core idea, as long as you are a law-abiding rabbit citizen, then there is no need to be afraid of this. According to the original words of a certain engineering tycoon, "To put it mildly, there are so many test samples, is it necessary to carry out such destructive research? If there are only one or two samples, it will be too late for us to protect them!"
Under the temptation of money, public office, and many other things, the rabbit family miraculously did not have any turmoil in China because of this incident, and the people expressed their emotional stability, but many stock sectors such as biotechnology were greatly stimulated by these changes, and the whole line was red.
After all, not many people want to get superpowers such as 'no matter how much you eat, you won't be hungry', 'you won't be sleepy no matter how you stay up late', and 'no matter how much you drink water, your stomach won't bloat'.
According to the known statistical results, a total of as many as 2.7 million people in the entire rabbit family have obtained various laughable 'superpowers', among which the level of putting a small fireball the size of a cherry accounts for more than 70%, and the strongest known ability can only lift something 20 times heavier than himself, and hold on for an hour, which can be called the god of moving bricks.
The small town here in Chengzhou County is a place for research and training of these capable people, and no less than 50 similar bases have been established across the country.
There was still a slight smell of disinfectant water in the bright classroom, and on the podium stood a middle-aged Mediterranean man in his forties, who was talking to dozens of students with a wide age span sitting below.
"We divide the current superpowers into the following categories," he tapped on the blackboard, "the elemental manipulation class, mainly the ability to control natural substances such as fire, pure water, wind, and soil, rocks, metals, etc., can all be classified into this category, which is also the most numerous category at present, and at least half of you can be counted in this category." ”
"Spirituality, this category is currently very small, of course, it is estimated that there are many people who choose to hide it because they are afraid of affecting their interpersonal relationships. Speaking of this, Mediterranean shook his head, reflecting a white light, with a disapproving expression.
"Body strengthening includes all the abilities that change muscles, bones, blood, and other body parts, like the god of moving bricks, who is now the number one favorite in weightlifting at our next Olympic Games, provided that the Olympic Committee allows those who are able to participate. ”
He flipped through the papers on the podium and continued, "The last category is the Anomalous Series, specifically referring to those abilities that cannot be classified, such as mine," he pulled out a piece of paper and folded it into a Thousand Paper Crane, and then stared at it for ten minutes, the Thousand Paper Crane actually flapped its wings and flew up, "Such abilities are difficult to classify into a specific category, so they are classified as Specific." ”
"Of course, there are more types of superpowers, but that's all we've discovered so far, so what we need to learn in the first phase is how to control our abilities and avoid causing unnecessary troubles to our relatives and friends. ”
The atmosphere in the classroom is quite lively, and the students are very concerned about this, after all, they are all normal people sitting here with a clear mind, normal thinking, and no problems, who can continue their lives and get additional benefits at the same time, who would not want such a good thing?
In the large conference hall in the center of the town, the Outer God Avatar sat by the large chandelier, looking with interest at the large group of researchers who were meeting below. These top scientists, covering multiple disciplines, have been gathered in this town one after another in the past ten days, and in order to allocate places, small arguments have even broken out between the leaders of various towns.
After all, there are so many great scientists who are qualified to participate in this research and take the lead.
"Except for a few obvious physical changes, we have not found any differences from normal humans in the Elemental Manipulation and Anomalous abilities, as if these abilities are only attached to them out of thin air, without changing their genes and other aspects. ”
"At the same time, we've found that people who are strong or fast are more physically similar to our national athletes, but far more intense. Let's just say that these superpowers are quite 'scientific' superpowers, and we haven't found a suitable way to explain them. ”
"In addition, the source of energy that supports these superpowers has not been discovered for the time being, after all, we all know that it is impossible for a person to obtain such wonderful power through three meals a day. ”
One after another, the researchers presented their findings and answered the questions that were constantly being asked.
The Outer God Incarnate stretched, he had been sitting here for most of the day, just to see how far people knew about this mutation. So far, though, they don't seem to have noticed the connection between these superpowers and the psychic network.
To put it simply, the abilities obtained by these people are almost all spells downloaded from the spiritual power network, but for various reasons, they have only become one-tenth or even less of their original power. The Fireball technique was originally the equivalent of a grenade, but now it's good to be able to light a cigarette. Even if it's the best guy, the Great Force Technique plus the Vajra Body just makes it easier for him to move bricks.
He listened to it for a while, and felt that it was not interesting, seeing that these young uncles and aunts were thinking hard one by one, and they were rushing in the wrong direction of chaos, and the incarnation of the outer god suddenly became a little interested.
"Hmm... I remember that some time ago, the main body seemed to have a plan, to do something like martial arts awakening among ordinary people, but then it seems that for some reason I forgot it?" He touched his chin and watched another gray-haired uncle being sent to the emergency room due to excessive excitement, and suddenly thought of a good idea.
"If scientists know martial arts, and it's a modified version, it will definitely be more interesting!"
The Outer God avatar clapped his hands, jumped down from the chandelier, landed next to a younger researcher in the back row of the conference hall, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Friend, let me ask you a question, do you crave power?"
"Of course, why do you ask this?" he replied as if he were answering a friend he had known for many years, "and while these superpowers are hilarious and useless, they can lead us to many different directions of study. If I can have superpowers, even the most ordinary fire control can do......" As he spoke, the guy's eyes were foggy, and he didn't know where to go.
"Okay, as you wish, Qiang Qiang, version 1.01 of the strongest scientific martial god cultivation system is online, young man, come on!" The palm of the outer god incarnation ignited with a pale blue flame, and a slap slapped on the center of his eyebrows, leaving a vague teardrop-shaped mark.
After doing all this, he looked around, nodded, and said to himself: "Sure enough, a system or something is still not fun enough, let me think about it, at least there must be one hundred and eighty, no, one or two thousand, and then there will be a world's first martial arts conference, well, that's right, that's it!"
He plucked a handful of ever-changing hair from his head, crushed it into powder with both hands, and blew it vigorously in front of his mouth. The fluttering powder turned into countless tiny rays of light, blended into the surrounding electromagnetic environment, and spread to the entire kingdom in an instant.
"Twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty different models of systems, the target group is all weak and old, what kind of sparks will they collide with?" the outer god incarnation smiled, like a fox stealing chickens.
