Chapter 5: First Evolution

Beginner Inhuman!

Although Ji Xinghuo himself could confirm the success of the fusion, he couldn't stop feeling joy when he saw the words "junior alien" on the interface.

The 23rd century is the age of inhumans.

There is a huge gap between ordinary people and aliens, and the gap in individual strength affects human society in all aspects.

From culture, economy, politics, to technology, sports and entertainment, the advantages of the Inhuman are everywhere and dominate almost all the activities of all human beings.

Even if some countries try their best to downplay the gap between strangers and ordinary people, emphasize that everyone is equal before the law, and even restrict the rights of strangers in some places, deliberately tilting towards ordinary people, in reality, ordinary people will always be a vulnerable group.

Not only do Inhumans possess supernatural abilities, but they are also more powerful, more intelligent, and even have a longer lifespan.

When ordinary people face strangers, they are inherently lacking in confidence.

Even, those Inhumans who have gone far on the road of evolution are already a different species from ordinary people.

In the feudal era, there was "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and now it is "everything is inferior, only strangers are high".

Even if this sentence is exaggerated, it is not far off.

No matter what country on the planet is a citizen, no matter what political system, the first goal of life for all people is to become a stranger!

Ji Xinghuo is certainly no exception.

Now, I've finally done it and joined the ranks of Inhumans!

"Doctor!"

Someone suddenly screamed in the observation room, and a young man turned pale and shouted, "My head hurts so much, what's the matter?" Blood flowed from his nostrils, his expression was painful and panicked, and he shouted in a gaffe: "I won't fail to fuse, will I?" ”

A doctor with two nurses arrived immediately, only looked at him twice, and then shook his head, "Immediately send him to the medical room, his conflict is somewhat serious and he may need first aid." ”

"I failed to fuse?" The young man heard the voiceover.

"Yes." The doctor comforted: "There will be no life-threatening life, you will recover in a year at most, and you can try to fuse the xenomorphs again." ”

The young man was helped up by the nurse, his face was dejected, and he cried mournfully: "I fused with the 'beast whisperer', and the next time I fuse, I will have to spend my own money to buy xenomorphs, more than two million Asian dollars, how long will I be able to save so much money......"

Ji Xinghuo and the few remaining people in the observation room watched him being sent to the medical room, all with sympathy on their faces.

Citizens of APAC, each person has only one chance to get xenomorphs for free.

The fusion failed, and the next time you want to try again, you will have to spend your own money to buy xenomorphs.

And the core ability of almost all class templates, or at least the excellent ability, will not be worth less than a million Asian dollars, and the young man simply cannot afford to pay for it without family support. Even with low-interest loans from the state, it is a heavy burden.

A fusion failure is a huge blow to the vast majority of ordinary people, a double loss of economy and time, and many people give up becoming aliens.

Ji Xinghuo was happy in his heart.

He continued to look at his interface, and in addition to the [Rank] becoming a Beginner Inhuman, the [Ability] was no longer none, showing that he had "Thousand Dexterous Hands" with a message: Level 1 1/47.

"Level 1."

Ji Xinghuo touched his chin, this is very easy to understand, the ability can be upgraded after training, and the thousand dexterous hands that he has just fused are the first level.

But what does the "1/47" in the back mean?

"Ability upgrade progress?"

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but guess, could it be that like the skills of the virtual game, as the proficiency increases, reaching 47/47, a thousand dexterous hands can be upgraded to level two?

But there are skill points in the game to level up, what do you want to use?

His gaze fell on the [Spiritual Source Energy], which was still a duck egg, unchanged.

I thought about it for a long time last night, Ji Xinghuo had never heard of the term spiritual source energy, and he couldn't find the relevant answer on the Internet. The search results related to aliens are either psionic energy, or psychic power, spiritual power, etc., and there is no such thing as spiritual source energy.

However, Ji Xinghuo didn't dwell on it for too long.

Even if you can't level up directly, just a progress display is a huge help.

There are corresponding methods for ability upgrades, and various countries have researched a lot of data for different abilities, and there are more than a dozen training methods for thousands of dexterous hands, which can be downloaded by logging on to the official website of the Ministry of Astrals.

However, the ability training is long, boring and difficult, and it is often painful to exercise for years without escalating.

As a result, many Inhumans can't hold on, and their abilities stay at a very low level, and they can't tap into their potential and power.

And knowing the progress of the upgrade, you have a clear goal.

You get positive feedback on every ability workout, you can correct ineffective or wrong workouts in time, you know that you will definitely level up, and you can even calculate the exact date of the upgrade, make a workout plan, and the ability is definitely much faster than other Inhumans to level up!

Ji Xinghuo is full of confidence in this.

Next to the information on the interface, the virtual image of one's own human body has also changed.

The most obvious is the appearance of slender lines inside the arms, extending from the neck along the shoulders and arms, all the way to the palms and fingertips, like a thin neural network.

When you focus on the arms of the virtual image of the human body, the internal neural network will light up and be very conspicuous.

Also labeled information: Thousand Dexterous Hands, Level 1.

Ji Xinghuo was a little puzzled, wasn't the ability information already displayed on the side, why did he have to repeat the marking in the virtual image of the human body, was there any other use?

He looked closely for a moment, and soon made a discovery.

The arms where the thousand dexterous hands were located, the lines emitted faint points of light, like free energy, spreading in the body of the human body's virtual image, and gradually spreading to the whole body. Over time, points of light spread to every corner of the body, and although they were still faint, they were no longer overlooked.

"Star Power!"

Ji Xinghuo suddenly realized that these points of light represented star power.

At the same time, there is an extra line of text on the left side of the interface, which is located below the [Order].

【Star Power:1】

"Sure enough, it's star power!" Ji Xinghuo was glad that he guessed.

All Inhumans have to exercise star power, and the importance and priority are still above the ability, because star power is the original driving force of life evolution!

Star power is converted from etheric energy, and the human body absorbs ether and converts it into star power, which strengthens the strength, speed and endurance of the body, promotes the evolution of life, and prolongs life.

It can be said that star power has opened the door to cultivation, and only with star power can you truly embark on the road of evolution!

An Inhuman's ability can be mediocre or even wasteful, but Star Power must never be weak, because Star Power is the source of Inhuman power.

And casting an ability also costs star power.

To use the metaphor of a virtual game, an ability is a skill, and star power is a character attribute, which is both health and mana.

It's not hard to get star power, at least it's easy for Inhumans.

As long as you fuse any xenomorph to master the star power, the xenomorph was born in the astral realm, and it must contain etheric energy, and if the fusion is successful, the star power will be generated in the body.

Exercising star power is a compulsory course for Inhumans.

There are no exercises or shortcuts, there is only one way to exercise star power, and that is to consume the star power in the body by constantly exercising the body, and then wait for recovery.

In the process of depletion and recovery again and again, the star power will slowly increase.

From the stage of beginner inhumans to advanced inhumans, star power is free in the body in a form of energy that cannot be detected, and it is relatively weak.

On the outside, the star power is even more invisible, and only the Inhumans themselves can feel it.

Therefore, star power has the characteristics of idealism.

But star power is real, and when it accumulates to a certain level, it will allow the Inhuman to evolve, and after advancing to the level, it can fuse another ability.

With Earth's technology, it is impossible to detect the existence of star power, let alone accurate values.

The Vientiane Star Pupil can be directly displayed.

However, the [Star Power] in the interface is only a numerical value, and there is no unit, so Ji Xinghuo cannot be compared with the star power of other aliens, and it can only be used as a reference at present.

After a few minutes, the star power value changed to 2.

Ji Xinghuo also quickly felt the effect of star power.

The body seems to be injected with an invisible energy, making its limbs stronger and stronger, and its internal organs are strengthened from the inside to the outside, and the sense of hearing, touch, and smell are improved to varying degrees.

Every breath becomes long, every heartbeat becomes powerful.

It seems that there is an inexhaustible strength all over the body, and the spirit is a hundred times!

"This is the power of the Inhuman!"

Ji Xinghuo was still feeling his strengthening, and a staff member came over and asked, "Mr. Ji, have you successfully fused?" "He's been in the observation room for more than half an hour.

"Yes." Ji Xinghuo got up and nodded.

"Congratulations."

The staff congratulated formulaically and reminded: "Mr. Ji can go home." In the next few days, your body is in the initial evolution period, which changes a lot, during which time do not exercise too vigorously to avoid excessive fatigue, and adapt to the strength of the Inhuman as soon as possible to avoid causing harm to others. ”

Ji Xinghuo nodded, these are all common sense.

Leaping from an ordinary person to an alien, the first life evolved to the greatest extent, lasted the longest, and varied from person to person.

Some people take a week or even half a month to complete the evolution, while others only take a few hours.

The speed of evolution does not affect the degree of strengthening.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the interface of the Vientiane Star Pupil, the light points in the virtual image of the human body were still increasing, and the value of [Star Power] had increased to 3, and it was expected that his first evolution would last for more than a day.

After coming out of the Inhuman Service Center, Ji Xinghuo received a notice from the Astral Ministry that he had officially become a registered Inhuman in the Asia-Pacific Community.

Because of the use of free xenomorphs and the enjoyment of civic benefits, when the country issues a conscription in the future, he must unconditionally obey once and fulfill the obligations of a citizen.

"I hope I don't send a call order when I'm too weak."

Ji Xinghuo said secretly.

He does not resist the call-up, this is his duty, and it is a matter of course.

In fact, the vast majority of the Asiatic Communist Party's Inhumans will never receive a national conscription order for the rest of their lives, because more than 90% of the Inhumans are junior Inhumans all their lives, and their strength is not enough, so they will not be able to go to the battlefield in their turn.

One day, even the junior aliens will have to be recruited, and it will inevitably be a critical moment for the Asia-Pacific Community and even the entire planet.

That's not good news.

Ji Xinghuo is not afraid of dedicating himself to the country, but he is afraid that his strength is not enough and he will give his life in vain.

He walked out of Tianqin Stadium and heard a noisy and enthusiastic shout from a distance: "Sword Immortal!" Sword Immortal! Guanghan Sword Immortal is invincible in the world! ”

The shouts came in waves, getting louder and louder.

Ji Xinghuo turned his head to look and found that on the other side of Tianqin Stadium, hundreds of people had gathered in the square outside the gate, mostly young people, all wearing clothes printed with golden five-pointed stars, holding shiny signs in their hands, and following the leaders shouting slogans in unison, their faces full of excitement and fanaticism.

They looked up at the exterior wall of the stadium, and a huge screen tens of meters high showed a tall and graceful beauty.

She was dressed in a well-fitting combat uniform, holding a long sword behind her back, her expression was solemn, and her beautiful eyes looked straight ahead, as if she had locked on to a fighting opponent. Several Inhumans who were also wearing combat uniforms surrounded her, and the stars held the moon, and everyone was watching.

"It turned out to be her."

Ji Xinghuo's heart was suddenly.

The person on the screen is called Zhao Manying, a world-famous genius, and the people gathered outside the stadium are her fans.

But it's a little strange, why are so many people here all of a sudden?

Ji Xinghuo opened his mobile phone and watched the news, and his face was stunned: "Zhao Manying has been promoted to super stranger, no wonder ......"

What just happened half an hour ago has already topped the national hot search list.

It's also a sensational news when looking at the world.

"It's outrageous to be promoted to super alien at the age of 22!"

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh, and there was a little sour taste in his envy. I am also 22 years old, a few months older, and I was still complacent about the promotion of junior aliens, but others were already super aliens and broke many records.

"It's worthy of a sword immortal." Ji Xinghuo secretly admired, "If you don't accept it, you can't do it." ”

His social account also follows Zhao Manying, and he usually watches her games when he has time, and he knows her very well.

Zhao Manying fused with aliens at the age of sixteen to become an alien, evolved to an intermediate alien at the age of seventeen, and was rated as the youngest "swordsmanship master" in history by the martial arts association at the age of eighteen.

After being promoted to a senior alien at the age of twenty, Zhao Manying signed a sky-high contract with the "Emperor Star" club, entered the super league, became a competition alien, and was trained as the core of the combat team.

Most of the members of the Super League team are super aliens, one rank higher than Zhao Manying.

Even so, Zhao Manying is still difficult to meet in the arena.

Her career template is "Swordsman", and with her world-class swordsmanship attainments, few opponents can withstand it in one-on-one heads-up.

However, the battle in the competitive league is more inclined to teamwork, and the other members of the Emperor Star team are not outstanding and cannot give enough help, so Zhao Manying has been in the club for two years, and her team has not played a brilliant result, and has been in the middle and upper reaches.

But this did not affect Zhao Manying's popularity in the slightest.

The reason is very simple, in addition to Zhao Manying's sword talent in the past and present, she also has a peerless appearance that captivates the country and the city!

There are many beauties in this era, but there are only a handful of beauties whose appearance, figure, and temperament can reach the level of Zhao Manying.

There are many geniuses in this era, but there are very few geniuses who can reach the level of Zhao Manying in terms of star power, ability, and martial arts.

Beauty is always a scarce resource, and talent is even more.

Both are among the best in the world, and when concentrated in one person, that's an explosive effect!

Zhao Manying's popularity is unimaginably high, surpassing all cultural and entertainment stars, even if she is just a high-level alien, her popularity is comparable to that of the "Heavenly King", and even surpasses it.

Her billions of followers are spread all over the world, from the Asia-Pacific Community to the New Roman Empire, from the Southern Kingdom to the Latin Revolutionary Army; Every game of hers is a battle of focus, watched by at least a billion people, and the popularity is beyond the reach of other teams, and the Dixing Club has made a lot of money in the past two years.

Zhao Manying is a true global icon!

She also has many nicknames, the most famous being "Sword Fairy".

There are also "Century Tianjiao", "Contemporary First Genius", "Second Global Goddess", "Guanghan Sword Immortal" and so on, some of which are worthy of the name, some are too exaggerated, in short, they are all praises.

Now, Zhao Manying has been promoted to super alien in less than two years, and her strength will definitely skyrocket.

Even if the Super League focuses more on team battles, the overall strength of the Dixing Club will rise.

In the next few years, the club will inevitably be the favourites to win the championship.

So these fans and team diehards were so excited, as soon as the news came out, they gathered at the home stadium of the Emperor Star team to support, chatting enthusiastically one by one, full of hope for the future of the team.

Ji Xinghuo went over and watched for a few minutes.

The square outside Tianqin Stadium was crowded, and the security guards came out in time to maintain order, but there were more and more fans who came, and the scene was a little chaotic.

Ji Xinghuo hurriedly got in the car and left.

He turned on the built-in projection screen in the car, and almost every platform, live channel, and social media was discussing Zhao Manying's promotion to Super Inhuman.

One by one, the hosts and commentators were talking in front of the camera.

The event program does data analysis to predict the record of the Emperor Star team;

Inhuman bloggers speculate how many places Zhao Manying's ranking on the "global ladder" can advance;

entertainment channels gossip about Zhao Manying's private life;

Economic news focuses on the share price of the Emperor Star Club;

And fans either praise Zhao Manying's talent, or simply covet her appearance and vent their emotions on the Internet.

On this day, the focus of the world was on Zhao Manying.

No one cares, there is a peer named Ji Xinghuo who is also in Chang'an and has become an alien.

Even Ji Xinghuo himself was not particularly excited, because he knew that he would become an alien sooner or later, and he didn't expect what impact this incident would have.
