Chapter 172: Change
That night, a young white man woke up from a nightmare, he sat on the bed and gasped for breath, the dim room was blurred, and he reached out to touch it around in impatience.
The young man's hands and feet were frizzy, and he impatiently pushed the bits and pieces on the table next to him to the ground, and he stumbled to touch the lamp, and then turned on the lamp in a panic.
The bright light made the young man relax suddenly, and a pair of eyes looked around eagerly. Silk quilts, polished solid wood tables and chairs, crystal chandeliers, the surrounding walls are full of famous oil paintings, and the surrounding areas are full of various precious decorations. Under the bright lighting, the whole room looks very luxurious.
Taking in everything in the room, the white youth seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The tense nerves were completely relaxed, and he got out of bed, went to the bathroom, washed his face with clean water, and calmed himself down. raised his head and looked at himself who was a little pale in the mirror, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Hehe, I didn't think I could also enjoy this kind of imperial life." ”
This is the Hilton New York Hotel.
As a world-renowned hotel chain, Hilton lives up to its reputation. Five-star, luxuriously decorated, comprehensive service, unique style, celebrity access places, all kinds of words associated with luxury to describe her are not exaggerated. And if you want to enjoy this, you naturally need to spend a lot of money.
All in all, this is the domain of the rich. If nothing happens, the white youth knows that he will not have the opportunity to enjoy such a fantastic life in his life, after all, just a month ago, he was a homeless man living in the slums.
Alec, 20 years old, grew up in an orphanage. There is no family affection, no one to adopt, and of course there is no harshness, and there is no bad-hearted dean. Although life was very difficult due to the lack of materials, he still grew up stumbling.
Reality is not a movie. There is no inspiration, no struggle, he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary orphan, and because of his natural lazy personality, he can't adapt to the tight work rhythm. So a month ago, he was still a homeless man.
I don't know when, maybe it was a sleep, or maybe it was a daze, in short, after another trance, he felt as if he had become another person, a super genius.
Mathematics, physics, biology, humanities, etc., Alec felt that his previous self was a complete idiot, and the countless information in his mind was constantly integrated with her, and he felt like he was half of a genius with superior intelligence, and all kinds of knowledge were refined.
Even these things were still something he could understand, and there were many things he didn't understand at all......
"The Relationship between Numbers and the World", "The Framework of Space Physics", "Cosmic Electromagnetism", "The Unified Conjecture of the Four Fundamental Forces", "Advanced Informatics", "Force Field: The Connection between Micro and Macro", ......
There's a lot of information, and what makes a difference is the tingling sensation that keeps coming through my mind all the time. It felt like a sack that was already stuffed and someone was constantly stuffing it in.
"What is this, God's compensation for me?"
Remembering the extra things in his mind a little, Alec said self-deprecatingly. It's true that he's a bum, but he's not a fool, and he knows the value of what he has in his head. As long as he wants, he can go to any university as a professor, or go to any high-tech company as a senior technical engineer!
There is more and more knowledge in his mind, and he himself seems to be more and more knowledgeable, but deep down he is getting more and more empty!
He doesn't know what he's going to do?
Target? Ideal? Ambition?
He began to recall the memories he knew, as if it was the effect of more and more knowledge in his mind, and he could even remember the memories of his birth, as if they had been engraved on the disc before, and the things that happened a long time ago that he remembered or did not remember, could be played back clearly as long as he wanted to.
I don't know how many times, maybe it was a month ago, maybe it was the day before yesterday, or what day, just repeating it over and over again, repeating the former him: from childhood to adulthood, the memories that belong to him, the traces of his existence in this world.
He didn't have parents before, so he wanted them; He had tried to be hungry and wanted food before; He used to be a vagabond, wandering on the fringes of society, looking at the media focus on the big screen every day, and he used to envy and wanted to be one of them......
One by one, each of them is his wish, his goal, and belongs to the ambition of the past. But now he feels that he can do a lot, that he can become the elite of the world, that he can do everything he once wanted, but he doesn't know what he wants......
Profound knowledge, deep analysis of society, real analysis of the world, broader horizons, and deeper cognition have impacted 'him' in all directions, and he is confused.
Who am I? Where am I from? What am I going to do? ……
Like an out-of-control thinking machine, Alec felt like he had become paranoid, paranoid about finding the answers he wanted. Uncontrollable start to rhapsodies.
"Didi, Didi."
A crisp reminder interrupted his thoughts, and a fist-sized silver spherical object floated out of the room, slowly floating in front of Alec as a sexy female voice rang out.
"Mr. Alec, thirty minutes are still before the time you agreed with Dr. Ace."
Alec looked up at the silver orb in front of him and nodded expressionlessly. If it was before, he would still find the voice very charming, but now with a keen perception, he can clearly hear the stiffness and rigidity inside. The silver orb is about the size of an adult's fist, and its surface is covered with blue lines. This is the smart terminal that the college has configured for him.
Knowing that time was running out, Alec hurriedly combed through and walked out of the house.
As soon as he went out, as if he had a feeling, Alec looked up at the void, above the clear sky, a huge portal stood there, casually looking at the people walking around, as if he had not noticed the changes in the sky, as if it were real and illusory.
"What the hell is it?" Feeling the constant throbbing from the depths of his heart, Alec's brow furrowed slightly. It's like a hungry person who wants to eat food. He could feel his heart's yearning for that gate in the sky, and the moths could not help but pounce on it.
He had asked others, but so far no one but himself had seen the gate in the sky. It's like the door was an illusion at all, something he had imagined. But he knew it was real, it was real, and it was a very awkward feeling.
Alec suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, "Why do I think so much?" ”
In the end, he is just a small person at the bottom of the society, maybe he has gained some knowledge and ability, which can help him live a luxurious life, but the orphan life from childhood to adulthood let him know. If you master too many things that don't match you, you will never end well.
Alec waved down a taxi, got up, and said his destination to the black driver in front of him: "Go to the Super Academy." ”
"There are a lot of people going there today!" The driver turned the car around and chatted with Alec, "I've pulled three passengers this morning, plus you already have four. Anyway, you guys aren't going to take over the Hilton. ”
Obviously, whether it is at home or abroad, my brother feels that he belongs to a group of people who are familiar with him, and they are absolutely very capable. Just like now, Mr. Driver obviously didn't care whether his passengers would answer or not, so he said to himself: "You people are really lucky, you don't have to do anything, you can live a luxurious life." ”
Speaking of this, Alec keenly felt the envy and jealousy in the driver's words. Faced with the jealousy in the driver's words, Alec's eyes flashed, and he didn't care. As for the good luck in the other person's words, maybe he thought so at first, but now he doesn't just think it's good luck.
The Super Academy, hosted by the government, is a superpower academy dedicated to the future evolution of mankind.
Thanks to the actions of a certain 'madman', more and more people in the whole society have got rid of their identity as ordinary people and began to become superpowers. Powerful strength, super-fast speed, superhuman physical fitness, all kinds of powers that previously only existed in the imagination, began to spread rapidly among ordinary people.
The Super Academy came into being.
Data collection, capability development, capability inquiry, and a whole set of superpower-centered measures were quickly established. In order to be more efficient and scientific to study the changes that suddenly broke into human society, and then better serve human society. This is the main function of the Super Academy.
Alec didn't know how other countries were, but he knew that there was a terrifying power behind the Super Academy, and as far as he knew, there were Super Academies in the major cities of the Federation. He still hasn't forgotten that feeling, as if in less than a week, the whole world knew about the existence of the Super Academy.
As long as you come to the Super Academy level, you will receive a minimum living allowance every month. And that's just the beginning. Donating blood provides experimental materials, demonstrations of abilities, data on your own changes, etc., each of which will result in a huge material reward that will be sustained.
Not only that, if you join the Super Academy, the Academy will provide you with professional analysis and guidance according to your ability, and formulate a professional ability development plan for you based on your own data.
In a word, as long as you have the ability, as long as you join, you will have everything!
If nothing else, this is how Alec came from a homeless man to his current luxury life. Join the Super Academy and get it all.
And Aggreko's attitude has also changed from fear at the beginning, to surprise, to ridicule later, to indifference now. I have to say, the more I know, the more Alec feels that the world is fucked up!
The government is dealing with these new superpowers, whether they are mutants or ordinary people, and they are not as cruel as they were to mutants before. No arrests, no bloody suppression. On the surface, it's like ignoring them.
In fact, the Super Energy Academy was established under the leadership of those big consortia behind the scenes. Take a gentle approach to get the information they want. Just as the capitalists squeeze the surplus value of the workers, everyone knows that their own value is being exploited, but everyone is not opposed, on the contrary, they are very happy.
In the past, the labor force, the current body data, or the knowledge they have acquired, or other things, give these valuable things, everyone is willing to be exploited, in exchange for the wealth they need!
Every capitalist has studied the science of exploitation very deeply. Alec is not a capitalist now, but he has a deep understanding of this science.
Alec's silence also made the taxi driver less talkative. No one spoke, the car was quiet and no one was disturbing, and Alec looked through the glass window onto the street.
The streets are lively. More precisely, it's not just the streets that are lively, it's the whole city that's lively. There is a feeling of seething.
Sitting in the car, Alec could see a large number of young people gathered on both sides of the street, these young people, whether tall, short, fat or thin, almost everyone had excited looks on their faces, and from time to time they could see those people dancing and gesturing something, and their mouths were shouting loudly.
You can even see some magical performances: jumping over a ten-meter-high wall, smashing a ten-centimeter-thick stone slab with one punch, transforming into a strong werewolf, or turning into a vampire, etc.
Unlike the superpower academies led by the big conglomerates, there are many superpowers who form various small groups for various reasons. For example, Hero Squad and the like. In a country that has rushed to individual heroism, such small groups of this kind still have a very high proportion of the population.
Of course, in addition to the newly established Super Energy Academy, the largest super group in this country should be regarded as the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, after all, it is not only the earliest super energy group, but also the product of that person's founding. This is still quite influential in the superpower community.
In addition to these, Kabbalah Farm is also booming. After all, high-energy food is a must-have food for superpowers. If nothing else, Alec knew that a large part of his income was spent on high-energy food.
……
Ten minutes passed, and the taxi stopped in front of a 30-story building.
"Okay, the Third People's Hospital has arrived, a total of fifteen yuan!" The driver said.
"Goodbye!"
After paying for the change, Alec got out of the car and looked at the tall building in front of him. (To be continued.) )
