Chapter Thirty-Eight: Rank?Talent?

"Hmm......" Xinyun tilted her head and thought for a moment, "You already know that the Neanderthal population is divided into four ranks: priests, warriors, craftsmen, and civilians. Different classes will have corresponding class abilities. For example......"

"There is only one kind of priest's rank ability, and that is spiritual power. We are able to perceive the thoughts of life around us to a certain extent, and although we are not completely precise, we can at least sense basic emotions such as joy, fear, anger, etc. At the same time, the priests were able to rely on their spiritual power to coerce the Neanderthals of the lower ranks, influencing their thinking. Including the fact that I seized control of those bone spurs in the wound abyss before, I also relied on a spiritual power far stronger than him. ”

"In Neanderthal society, warriors are the backbone of maintaining social order and fighting, so their rank abilities are mainly based on strengthening hand-to-hand combat, basically speed enhancement, strength enhancement, physical enhancement, etc., which are simple and direct, but effective. ”

"And then it's more complicated, it's the craftsmen. This rank is just a general term, and there are various branches under it, such as Healer, Builder, Repairer, etc...... Because any priest has a limited number of genetic fragments at hand, we can't be sure how many Neanderthals that once existed in the artisan caste could be subdivided, but that should be a very large number. And each artisan branch has a unique class ability. ”

"The fourth rank, the commoner, is incapable. Even after they are fully awakened, they will not have much power growth. Although it is certainly stronger than ordinary humans in terms of speed, strength, and recovery, this strength is also very limited, and it is not even easy to distinguish, such as ......"

Xinyun suddenly smiled weirdly, stretched out her hand and poked Jiang Xiao's waist: "Have you ever heard of the name Rasputin?"

Jiang Xiao was stunned: "You mean...... That Russian demon monk who was in turmoil with a filthy court, who was 'extraordinary', who was assassinated, poisoned with potassium cyanide, shot several times, smashed by dumbbells, and finally thrown into a hole in the ice, and who lasted for eight minutes before finally drowning?"

"That's right, it's him!" Xinyun grinned, "Later, someone went to examine his corpse, read his gene pool from his cells, and found ...... It turns out that he is also an awakened person, and only a civilian. ”

"Wait......" Jiang Xiao frowned, "But I remember that the corpse of this demon monk was crushed and dusted after the February Revolution." ”

"Your memory is correct. Xinyun smiled more slyly: "But what you don't know is that a Russian noblewoman at that time was too obsessed with the happiness she had gotten, so after his death, she preserved a certain part of his body as her own treasure~ Although it has been dried, as long as the priest can contact the cells, he can still tell whether it is the same kind from the genes inside!"

"......" Jiang Xiao suddenly felt sick in his heart.

Xinyun's smile, with her emphasisive pause, clearly indicates what she calls "somewhere".

And the way the priests read the genes...... Jiang Xiao had already experienced it once in Lao Hua.

I thought of the warm touch of my fingers in Xinyun's small mouth, and then thought of the huge ** of the Russian demon monk who had been dried for a hundred years...... If you associate the two together......

Jiang Xiao looked at Xinyun's gaze, and suddenly became a little complicated.

"What do you want!" Xinyun knocked Jiang Xiao's head hard, and snorted: "That priest is not me......! Why are you so disgusting!"

"Can I be blamed for this?" Jiang Xiao looked at Xinyun innocently: "Who told you to always be dirty, and you are shy after you are dirty!"

"Hmph, you don't think anything else is on your mind about me anyway!" Xinyun snorted.

"Good, good. Jiang Xiao didn't want to discuss this kind of topic in depth with this little girl: "So, what is the natural ability?"

"Innate ability is something independent of class ability. Xinyun blushed for a while and then regained her composure, and said seriously: "Neanderthals of the same rank, and of the same classification, all have the same rank and ability, and everyone will have it except for civilians." But natural abilities are unique to each person, they are not repeated, they are not tied to rank, and not everyone will have them. And the natural ability ...... It's often weird and whimsical, and it doesn't always apply to combat, and it may even have no meaning at all. For example......"

Xinyun suddenly covered her mouth and laughed: "I know an awakened person, his natural ability is to make his image look like a 300-pound aunt in the eyes of anyone." ”

"This ...... What kind of hell is this ability? What is the use of this ability?" Jiang Xiao also smiled dumbly.

"yes, that means it's useless. Innate abilities are so bizarre. Xinyun shrugged: "But there are some special natural abilities that will also be strong." Or even...... Even natural abilities that seem completely useless in the first place can sometimes be very scary when combined. I'll give you an example. Suppose that one Awakened has the innate ability to make anyone fall in love with him unconditionally, and another Awakened has the ability to make anyone who falls in love with someone else die instantly...... Do you think the combination of these two people is invincible in the world?"

"Also...... And such an ability?" Jiang Xiao looked at Xinyun in disbelief.

"I'm just assuming it~" Xinyun grinned: "Although I haven't seen it, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be such an existence?" After all, innate abilities often don't have any logic, and any weird abilities may exist. And...... Because of the larger base of civilians, there are also more civilians with strange talents. Sometimes, they can be more terrifying than even the most powerful warriors. ”

"I hope I won't be allowed to run into such a guy......" Jiang Xiao sighed.

"No...... This is ...... It's hard to say...... Xin Yun shook her head slightly: "On the contrary, I think that it is a very high probability that we will meet all kinds of guys with special talents and abilities next." ”

"Why?" Jiang Xiao suddenly became nervous.

"Because...... Didn't Shen Yuan say that the academy must seize the seeds, after all, the purpose of their establishment is to seize the seeds. Xinyun shrugged her shoulders: "And Shen Yuan should also know very well that there is no way to fight against me as a priest with conventional means." No amount of warriors can be summoned to confront me head-on. So...... He should be able to mobilize his subordinates within the academy who have special natural abilities to snatch the information of the seed from us. ”

"Damn. Jiang Xiao fell back heavily on the back of the sofa: "I should have rejected Ziyan immediately when I saw her on the first day!"

"There's no use complaining now. Xinyun moved a few inches to Jiang Xiao's side, and patted him with a smile: "Since your life has been disrupted, then you should be brave to face it! Come, make a brave expression and show me!Good~"

Jiang Xiao didn't care about Xinyun, and only stretched out his finger and tapped on her little head, looking depressed.

"It hurts! light, you idiot!" Xin Yun rubbed his head and exhaled angrily: "Actually attacked the priest!

"So...... Shouldn't we rush to Lake Baikal as soon as possible and find the seeds?" Jiang Xiao ignored Xinyun's coquettishness, turned his head and asked: "Hurt Yuan, and the entire academy, it should take a while to mobilize the strength, we should be ahead of them and set off first." ”

"Tsk, you're really more anxious than me...... In order to resurrect that beautiful girl named Ziyan?" Xinyun smiled.

"I just want to solve this problem sooner. Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Since my life has been messed up, of course I hope to be able to return to the original trajectory as soon as possible." Isn't that what you just said, be brave and face it. ”

"Yes~~~" Xinyun stretched her tone: "Okay then, let's hurry up and go." But it's going to be two days before I make arrangements for my trip. Since it's okay here, let's go. By the way, you ...... Where to stay at night?"

"Me?" Jiang Xiao was stunned. He hadn't thought about it yet.

Originally, Jiang Xiao planned to let him pass on the word after going to see Lao Hua, and everything would have nothing to do with him anymore, so he would naturally go back to his home normally at night and live a normal life.

But now...... Will he be able to continue to live a peaceful life?

And now, Zhao Tianyu has also become an awakened person, and whoever manipulates Li Qin is likely to set her as a target as a bargaining chip to blackmail Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao frowned and thought about it, then looked up at Zhao Tianyu: "Tianyu, I'll live with you for the past two days." ”

"Uh...... Ah?" Zhao Tianyu was stunned: "Living in ...... Am I here?"

"What, isn't it convenient?" Jiang Xiao smiled: "You slept at my house yesterday, and I didn't drive you away." ”

"No...... No, that's good. Zhao Tianyu hurriedly shook his head: "It's just ...... Why do you suddenly want to stay with me?"

"Because...... You'd be safer here, fellows from the Academy, it won't be that easy to find here. Jiang Xiao thought about it and decided not to tell Zhao Tianyu that he was trying to protect her.

"Okay, okay!" Xinyun suddenly stood up from the sofa and waved her hand proudly: "Don't talk nonsense!

"Eh, where are you?" Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu were stunned.

"What, what's wrong?" Xinyun snorted, "It's not like I don't have an empty room there, and it's safer than if you two were here alone." The guys in the academy still have some scruples about me. And you don't know, except for me, the chaos is also very strong! Since we are going to leave in two days, it is safer to stay together. ”

Jiang Xiao lowered his head and thought about it, feeling that what Xinyun said was indeed reasonable, and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Tianyu: "Tianyu, what do you say? In the past two days, we will go to Xinyun's place to stay, and when we leave for Lake Baikal, I think that the academy will no longer focus on you." Come back then. ”

Zhao Tianyu lowered his head and thought about it, and shook his head: "No, ......"

"What, you don't want to go to Xinyun?" Jiang Xiao asked with a frown.

"Nope. Zhao Tianyu shook his head and said, "I mean...... I want to go to Lake Baikal with you. ”
