Chapter 422 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Even children are the same.

"Harry Potter" is a fairy tale, so JK Rowling did not write it too darkly when writing the story.

Even Voldemort, the number one devil in the world, only killed a few dozen people.

However, the reality is not like this.

Just like this moment.

In this large living room that is like a public lounge.

The conflict has already begun.

The root cause is television.

There is only one TV in this living room.

Everyone wants to see what they want to see.

Then, these young people possess extraordinary powers, and some of them have learned them from their parents.

They know one thing very well.

As long as the conflicts between extraordinary people are justified in theory, the country will not intervene.

A more extreme example is blood feud, which is also punishable by death in the ordinary world, but in the extraordinary world, it is legal.

The least extreme is fighting.

There is no crime in fighting between extraordinary people. If you lose, you are a loser and you have to admit it.

So, Ye Xingchen had only been away for less than ten minutes.

Two teenagers from extraordinary families have already started fighting.

One wants to watch Peppa Pig, and the other wants to watch Crayon Shin-chan.

If no one is willing to give in, there is nothing to say.

Li Zhongren found it interesting.

He was also quite curious about the extraordinary people in this world other than himself and what their natures were like.

For example, Ye Xingchen obviously follows the traditional cultivation route.

The two young men in front of him were obviously taking the path of developing their own extraordinary bloodlines.

However, it is different from the traditional supernatural system.

The two young men were fighting.

Li Zhongren discovered that the people in Dongguo were not like the mutants, who instinctively used their superpowers. On the contrary, they had a supporting system for development. Or to put it more simply, the people in Dongguo only regarded superpowers as a special energy system. Its development should be more scientific and systematic, rather than just random tricks.

For example, the young man on the left possesses a very common ability, which is to drive plasma in a certain area, that is, to control flames.

But it's not like in the movies, with fire burning everywhere. On the contrary, the fire is concentrated in the fist, making it more restrained and more powerful.

The other young man was even more powerful. He controlled the rocks and turned himself into a stone man. Bang bang, he allowed himself to be hit by the opponent while using physical techniques to exert his own strength.

Fortunately, the backyard of this guesthouse is very large, the location is very remote, and the walls are very high.

It won't cause any danger.

In the end, the stone boy won.

The reason is simple. Maintaining and controlling stable stone is easier than controlling plasma.

"Is there anyone else who wants to compete with me?"

"If not, I'll go watch Crayon Shin-chan."

"Humph, I lost, I admit it, but, you watching Japanese cartoons is embarrassing!"

“So, you don’t understand anything.”

Hearing this, the young man curled his lips in disdain.

"Do you know why the Dongguo people are not good at singing and dancing, but the surrounding foreign races are good at it? That's because we Dongguo people like to sit and watch them dance."

"Hahaha"

"The little ones nowadays are really precocious."

Ye Xingchen naturally would not leave.

He has been secretly guarding these young people, along with the curator of the guesthouse, who is also from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

The two of them just watched the teenagers fighting in the yard quietly. As long as no one died, they were too lazy to stop them.

"As the times change and technology advances, there are more and more ways to acquire knowledge, so it's natural for people to mature early."

After hearing Ye Xingchen's words, the curator responded.

"But, you, haven't you always disliked children? Why are you so interested in watching them make a fuss today?"

"That boy."

Ye Xingchen pointed at Li Zhongren in the corner.

"I'm quite interested in him. He's precocious, mature, and steady. He likes reading. He has read many books in the orphanage, so I want to see what his talent is."

"Why, do you want to recruit him into the Sword Sect?"

"It's not me, it's my senior sister. According to the country's rules, she now needs to repay the debt she owed during her school years. The way she chose to repay it is to teach the younger generation. However, as you know, she is very lazy, so between teaching ten good students and teaching one excellent one, she chose the latter. Naturally, she has to choose a decent student."

"Then you're lucky."

"Oh?"

Ye Xingchen looked at the curator beside him. In terms of fighting ability, he was not as good as himself, but in terms of these, he was not as good as him. After all, there were dozens of extraordinary young people sent to Kyoto by him every year. Just by looking at them, he knew what kind of children were talented enough.

Not to mention, there are some tricks here. Mark those with the best talents in advance and say hello to Kyoto. There is room for profit here.

"I don't know about other aspects, but this little guy's soul is strong and stable."

"Damn, you really have a secret skill."

Ye Xingchen looked at the curator angrily. The two of them, along with his senior sister, the three of them were actually classmates.

"What secret technique?"

"Fire Watching Technique."

The curator didn't hide it either.

"I can see three fires based on the body's spirit, energy and spirit. The fires on both sides of this young man's shoulders, plus the three fires on his head, are burning so brightly. This is enough to prove that his three souls and seven spirits are strong enough. You know, since ancient times, people with strong spirits will find it easier to practice."

"Hey, I was right to come to you."

"His spirit is the strongest among this batch. Go back and tell Sister Qiao that we need to prepare some big capital."

"Ok, I know."

Big money is, of course, the price to pay for competing for this kind of genius.

Normally, ordinary extraordinary students will be divided into classes according to their corresponding characteristics and adaptability.

However, for geniuses, they can learn anything.

Therefore, every year, among the more than 10,000 students, several departments of Kyoto Super University will engage in a bloody competition for the top group. To put it bluntly, it is similar to an auction, and the highest bidder wins.

After deducting the taxes paid to the state from the auction proceeds, the rest belongs to these most talented young people.

Once these talented young people grow up, they will earn more money for these departments in the future, which is a positive cycle. Of course, sometimes they lose money, such as dying young, or being highly talented when young but suddenly losing their talent when they grow up. The risk balance here is entirely up to the departments themselves.

"learn."

Hearing this, the curator nodded, and looking at the teenagers who were still chattering and playing there, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"It's still better here."

"Unfortunately, every advantage has its disadvantages."

Ye Xingchen nodded, he knew what his old classmate was sighing about.

Nothing else, just peace.

The world has never been peaceful, only the East is peaceful.

Here in my hometown, the reason these extraordinary teenagers fight each other is nothing more than that I am more powerful, or I want to watch cartoons. But abroad, in those chaotic areas, such extraordinary teenagers have killed countless people.

Indeed, the advantage of this is that when the Eastern Country's extraordinary people reach adulthood, they have a stable mentality and a firm character, and are rarely at risk of distortion (psychic power out of control, infection from the other world).

However, in terms of combat proficiency, it is indeed difficult to compare with those guys who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. After all, those extraordinary people can do anything incredible or without bottom line in order to win.

"The higher-ups said we need more experience."

"What's the use? If there's no blood, how can you train? It's all fake."

"Hey, you don't know this."

The curator chuckled.

"Why did I tell you to let Qiao'er prepare a large amount of capital?"

"The latest research product of the Extraordinary Research Department, the Dream Linker, can create a huge dream world, allowing these teenagers to replicate their own talents and use them in it. Moreover, just like a real dream, the dream has no beginning, so the teenagers will not know that it is fake. Here, they can fully exert their abilities and can also see a person's true nature most intuitively."

"Fuck, there is such a thing?"

"It's a secret stage now, and not many people know about it."

"Then how do you know that?"

"My dad is one of the engineers. Of course, telling me about this would be considered a leak, but I usually have nothing to do, so I directly participated in the testing work, so it doesn't count as a leak."

"Fuck, then tell me, if it's different, it's considered a leak."

"This is an order from above. You will be responsible for protecting the safety of these children who have entered their dreams. Otherwise, how dare I tell you? I will not live any more."

"Damn, you scared me."

"Hehe, this thing has great benefits after it comes out, but the most important thing is that it solves the problem of greenhouse flowers. As long as we provide psychological counseling afterwards, many problems will be solved."

"And, most importantly, this thing can identify gaps."

"spy??"

Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Our East Country radiates throughout Asia, but do you think those surrounding forces are really willing to submit?"

"The Myrican Empire, across the ocean from us, has been secretly supporting these forces. One of their efforts is to disguise some students of appropriate age as Easterners and send them to our homeland, because only we have the ability to cast a large net to gather extraordinary people."

"When these young people grow up, they may become pawns that harm the East Country. For example, the incident a few years ago caused us huge losses. I guess it was from that incident that the higher-ups decided to support Professor Meng's research and invest in it regardless of the cost."

"that matter"

Ye Xingchen took a deep breath. He naturally knew what it was. In a sense, this was the biggest scandal since the establishment of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

"The director of the 'External Affairs Department' within the Extraordinary Affairs Processing Bureau is actually a spy from another country, who was sent here when he was young."

"Fortunately, the East Country's control over intelligence has benefited from the foundation laid during the founding period. It has always had several safeguards, so no major disaster occurred."

"So, from now on, the children will use this system frequently?"

"Ah."

"That's a lot of money."

"It's almost like burning money, but fortunately, we opened up the ancient Silk Road, and with the increase in trade, the money can still be maintained. I heard from my father that if there was no Silk Road, we really couldn't do this thing. Let alone other things, just the simulation of those capabilities itself, a server with 10,000 people can burn 10 million per second. A simulation takes about 30 minutes. You can calculate how much it costs."

"Eighteen billion?? Holy shit, an aircraft carrier is gone just like that?"

"So you think."

"So, even though we have a big family, the maximum is one semester, one simulation, twice a year. This time, the screening at the beginning of the school year is considered a special gift. However, my father said that they are researching a multi-layer dream system."

"What do you mean?"

"A dream may only last for a dozen seconds, but we feel it lasts a long time in the dream. Multi-layered dreams are dreams within dreams. By using this method, the duration of dreams can be increased exponentially, but the duration of the dream itself will not change, which can greatly reduce costs."

"sharp."

"Unfortunately, it's still too early to go online, because this system is dangerous. With multiple layers of dreams, if you make a mistake in controlling it, several years could pass in the blink of an eye. If not handled properly, it would be like a lifetime. What kind of impact do you think it would have on a teenager?"

"call"

Ye Xingchen took a deep breath and felt his scalp tingling.

He thought, if that was the case, would that child still be the same child?

Therefore, this system will not be implemented until it is absolutely proven to be reliable.

“So, it’s already been made?”

"Yes, but in terms of acceptance, the national card standard is that it can only be used if it has a 100% failure-free rate."

"That's difficult."

Ye Xingchen curled his lips.

There is nothing in this world that is 100% certain.
-
Kyoto.

Administration of Paranormal Affairs, Development Division.

Lin Tang, one of the engineers who developed the dream project, was quietly looking at the dream system.

He was amazed at this system.

Even though, in fact, his identity is a spy of Fuso, he still sighed at the current strength of the East Country.

However, if the East becomes stronger, it means that Fuso becomes weaker.

This is one of them.

Second, the Dream Research Institute has a very high level of security management. In other words, from the very beginning, it was designed to target undercover agents from other countries, so all developers cannot leave here from the beginning until the project is completely completed.

Of course, if that were all, he would just continue to lie dormant.

But now, he has to face a dilemma.

The project development has come to an end, and the project team will be disbanded. Before disbanding, all of them will participate in a dream test.

It can be regarded as a souvenir and also as a recognition.

Otherwise, Dongguo will not feel at ease.

Then, he would definitely be exposed.

He is not afraid of death, he is afraid of not being able to pass on the information.

Fortunately, after thinking hard for several days, he finally came up with a solution.

That is death.

Or to be more precise, he died next to the dream machine.
