Chapter 463: Picking Up a Treasure (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Are these people alright?"
Cindy shook her head, not knowing what they meant.
A student walked past her and said, "Congratulations, Cindy, you're the first freshman ever to break into the top 10 and top the list." ”
Cindy was stunned: "What top ten, what first." ”
"Ranking, haven't you looked at your phone?" The student smiled and reminded her, "Just look at the school's tweet today." ”
Cindy then remembered that her phone had been turned off, and she stepped aside and took it out and turned it back on.
After the phone was turned on, the message prompt sounded wildly, and the followers on Cindy's Twitter were rapidly increasing.
She had to log on to Twitter and set her account to block followers, so that no crashing prompts sounded.
After there was no prompt message, Cindy found Gorda's Twitter, and after following it, she found out that Gorda had sent a message yesterday.
The college has updated the school's student rankings.
Among them, Jordan is in fifth.
It turns out that Luke, who is ranked first, is no longer on the list, and now she is number one, Cindy!
"What the hell?"
Cindy frowned, she wasn't one to be in the limelight, and the experience of the 'Sage Grove' had taught her that it was only the low-key people who survived in this world to have the last laugh.
She took a hat out of her backpack, put it on her head, pulled up her collar again, and walked along the wall.
As a result, there are fewer people to talk to.
At the same time, at the entrance of the Lamplighter Fight Against Criminals Academy, students spontaneously sent flowers, photographs and candles.
In memory of Professor Briunk.
Jordan, dressed in a blue and white tracksuit, came here as a woman, and she took out a photo.
For her, Brienc is a very important person.
The professor doesn't care about her gender.
Brincke's death hit her hard.
She crouched down and tried to put the picture among the flowers.
In this photo, Brink is a photo with him, as a man, when he was a teenager.
But seeing so many students mourning Brink all around, Jordan hesitated, worried that the photo would cause unnecessary trouble for herself.
Competition is fierce at Kodta, especially among the top 10 students.
Each one of them will try to pull you down from the clouds, because only then will they be able to climb up and replace you.
As a result of yesterday's events, Jordan has risen to fifth place in the rankings.
This ranking is not that high, but it is definitely not low.
At the very least, those below her will be red-eyed.
Jordan didn't want to be pulled down, and after thinking about it, she still put the photo in her pocket.
Just as she was about to leave, the blonde Kate walked over.
"I'm sad."
Kate looked at Jordan and said, "I know how much Professor Brink means to you, I don't know why Luke did that." ”
Jordan gave her a wordless look, then walked past her. 、
The main building of the college.
When Cindy walked in, someone shouted.
"Look, it's Cindy, it's the 'Queen of Telekinesis'!"
Suddenly, people all around gathered around and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Cindy pulled her hat even lower, wanting nothing more than to blow the students' heads off.
At this time, a man with the aid of a cane blocked her way.
"Good morning, Miss Cindy."
"My name is Jeff, the head of social media at the University of Gothora."
"You are really a dragon who can't see the end, I have a hard time looking for you."
"I'm sorry, I'm on crutches, I tripped at the Paley TV Festival."
"This is for you."
He pulls out a card and hands it to Cindy.
"When you go back to the room, you'll see all kinds of smart products, as well as Walt music speakers."
"But in it, my favorite is the personal massager, and you can use it however you want."
Cindy said coldly, "I'm sorry, I don't need these things, you can take them back." ”
"Don't say that, you're number one now."
Jeff explains, "Rankings are based on longevity, skills, brand awareness, and social media mentions. ”
"You're so popular on Twitter that they all call you the 'Queen of Telekinesis.'"
"You killed Luke, I mean, you got him a headshot, which is great."
Cindy shook her head and said, "I don't think so. ”
"Good, a modest superhero, that's what the public would love to see."
Jeff seems to be mistaken: "Humble people, everyone will like them." ”
"You're the most humble person in the world."
"We're going to be late, do you have any nice clothes?"
"What do you mean?" Cindy said.
Jeff beckoned, "Follow me, you have an interview." ”
"Interview?"
"No, I don't like this stuff." Cindy puts the card Jeff handed to her in Jeff's pocket, then turns around and leaves.
"Wait."
"Hey, that's going to boost your visibility."
"Now that your fame is rising, we need to seize the opportunity."
"Come back."
Jeff yelled, but Cindy turned a deaf ear and walked out of the building.
He shook his head and said, "It's not a very good character, this young lady." ”
Jeff pulls out his phone, dials a group of numbers, and moments later, the call connects.
"Principal Antilla, I'm Jeff."
"Something went wrong, and our Miss Cindy didn't want to be interviewed."
"Well, I can't stop her."
"Okay."
In a pale room with a light of light, the headmistress of the University of Goth, Antilla. Shetty wasn't in her brightly filled office, but in what appeared to be a lab.
At this time, the screen in front of her was playing a video of Cindy using her mental power to blow up the head of Golden Boy Luke in the building of the Lamplighter Fighting Criminals Academy.
The footage stopped, and a bearded man pointed to the screen and said, "Headmaster, you have good potential as a student, if I can use her for experiments, I should be able to speed up the progress and develop a virus that is useful for superhumans." ”
Anttila put her phone in her pocket and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, Dr. Cardosa." ”
"This young lady is under the watchful eye of a big person, and she will bring considerable income to our school."
"I can't give you this cash cow."
"Besides, don't you already have one of the research subjects?"
The man known as Cardoza touched his beard and said, "You mean Sam?" ”
"Well, his potential seems to be bigger than the golden boy."
"However, his situation is very unstable, and he ran away some time ago."
"If you want me to say, he's a ticking time bomb and we should get rid of him before he does harm."
Antilla patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're not a kid anymore, you should know how rare an experimental subject like Sam is, so don't say such wayward words." ”
"Do your job, Dr. Cardosa."
"Also, we're pressed for time, and I hope you'll be able to catch it a bit."
After patting the doctor on the shoulder, Anttila left the lab.
"Wouldn't I know that time was pressing, and I wanted to finish this damn project quickly."
"But that Sam, that's not a man, that's a monster."
The doctor grumbled, then picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Greg, do a puncture on that kid, I'm going to need his spinal fluid, yes, the same as before."
It was not until late at night that Cardoza moved his stiff neck and prepared to go home.
That's when his phone rang.
It's an unfamiliar number.
"Hey, who's that?" Cardoza asked casually.
A deep voice rang out on the phone: "Dr. Cardosa, I don't know if you remember me, I'm Alexander." ”
"We once met at a seminar."
Cardoza couldn't remember who Alexander was, but he said, "I remember, hello, Mr. Alexander." ”
"Is there anything wrong with you at such a late hour?"
"At the last seminar, I heard that you were interested in super-powered children, and you thought they were more valuable than adults," Alexander said. ”
Cardoza thought for a moment and said, "That's what I said. ”
"I have a video here, maybe you will be interested, if you allow it, I will send it to you now." Alexander said.
Cardosa shrugged his shoulders: "Of course. ”
Moments later, he received a video.
Cardoza plays a video of a boy in a tuxedo covering his face and appearing to be playing a game of hide and seek.
He walked out into the street, through the street, and finally into a house.
Caddoza watched the video patiently while sipping the coffee delivered by his assistant.
In the video, several children quickly emerge from the room, close the door, and use a chain through the doorknob.
Then there was the sound of dogs barking and banging on the door, and the boy who had just been locked in the house shouted for the door to be opened.
"A prank video?"
Cardoza frowned, wondering why the guy named Alexander was showing him such a boring video.
But not long after, two red beams of light suddenly burst into the room, and then swept across, and the room was torn apart.
Cardoza's mouth opened wide.
I forgot to drink my coffee and watched the video intently.
Smoke billowed from the screen, and a figure could be seen faintly in the ruins of the house.
The boy in the tuxedo looks into the camera, his eyes flashing red.
Then he soared into the sky and flew into the distance.
That's the end of the video.
Cardoza immediately stood up and dialed the number he had just called.
"Hey, Mr. Alexander, this video won't have special effects, will it?"
Alexander said solemnly, "Of course not, Dr. Cardosa, I won't fool you with that kind of thing. ”
"Very well, who is that boy and what is his name?" Cardosa asked excitedly.
There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then Alexander said, "That's right, Dr. Cardosa. ”
"I've been out of work lately, and I'm still in debt."
"To put it simply, I'm short of money."
Cardoza calmed down and asked, "How much do you want?" ”
"A million." Alexander said, "If you don't need it, I can sell it to other psychic research institutes." ”
"No, you wait."
"I can't decide on such a large amount, I need to ask my boss."
"I'll get back to you later."
Cardoza quickly sent the video to Anttila and explained Alexander's request.
Moments later, he received a message.
Give him 100,000 yuan, and if he doesn't agree, I'll find him and talk to him in person. ’
Cardoza called Alexandria again: "Sir, it's a pity that our boss thinks that this news is only worth a hundred thousand. ”
"What?" Alexander was visibly angry, "I can't accept a ninety percent drop all of a sudden." ”
"Mr. Alexander, I hope you can accept it."
"Otherwise, our boss will take some more extreme measures."
Cardoza persuaded, "You don't want to see that. ”
There was silence on the phone for a moment, and then Alexander compromised: "Well, if it weren't for my recent injury, I wouldn't be afraid of your boss, 100,000 is 100,000." ”
Next, Cardosa received detailed information.
Looking at the message on his phone, Cardosa muttered, "It's actually a student of the Super Children's Academy." ”
On the screen, Alexander sent a message that read, 'Ryan, a 4th year student at the Super Children's Academy'.
Cardoza immediately relayed the news to Anttila.
In the warmly lit bedroom, Anttila looked at the messages on her phone's screen.
"A student at the Super Children's Academy?"
She walked over to the computer and used her privileges to log into the archives of the Super Children's Academy.
As the rector of the university, she has the highest authority.
Soon, detailed information about 'Ryan' appeared right under her nose.
"My father was David. Jayne, the hero's name is 'Black Nightmare'? ”
Antilla investigates the 'Black Nightmare' again, and it turns out that it's just a community hero.
And the community is not in New York City, but in a small city.
This shows that this is a third-rate hero, not well-known, and his abilities are also average.
"A hero with average ability, but his son has such a powerful ability, he really picked up a treasure."
Anttila muttered.
Superheroes are all made from chemical No. 5, so even if the father is a third-rate hero, the son may awaken powerful superpowers.
"If it's just a third-rate hero, you don't have to worry about anything."
"But this kid has a lot of abilities, laser eyes, super power, flight, and possibly 'super defense'."
"If you want to capture him, you need to put some thought into it."
"And you can't do it in the academy, you have to find a substitute for the dead."
Antilla circled around her bedroom, a plan taking shape in her mind, and she ignored one thing as she scrutinized it.
When's Admission to Lane.
If Antilla had taken a snack, she would have found that Ryan had the same time as Cindy.
But she didn't.
All she was thinking about was how to catch Ryan, a superpowered child, and Cardoza patted her chest and assured her that if she could study Ryan, the project would be completed ahead of schedule.
Obviously, that project was important to Anttilla.
No one knows that Antilla has a deep hatred for transhumans, and she is willing to do anything as long as she can destroy them!
