Chapter 575: We are the best in the world!

8 years old: going to school, nothing happened, nothing abnormal, nothing special, just an ordinary year.

9 years old: going to school......

10 years old: going to school.......

11 years old: you've finally reached the age to climb onto roofs and tear off tiles, but you're not like your older sister; anyway, you're still well-liked, with handsome looks plus a calm and steady demeanor, quite a few 'older sister' types aged eleven or twelve have approached you, but....

They were all chased away by your damn older sister!!!

Zhang... Zhang Jie!

These are the little cookies I made myself, want to eat?

Thanks, little girl, sis, I like to eat.

Zhang Yan suddenly appeared, snatching the cookie from the other's hand with a smile; on the surface she looked kind, but actually she was wildly waggling her eyebrows and eyes to threaten them.

Sis, what are you doing?

Zhang Jie took back the cookie and politely returned it.

Sorry, little Zi, my older sister has a bit of a problem here.

Zhang Jie pointed vaguely at his own head; the little girl blushed and hurriedly turned and left.

What are you doing! Cursing your own sister like that!

Sis... could you be a bit more mature?

I don't care, I don't care! Other people's younger brothers get beaten by their sisters for climbing onto roofs and tearing off tiles, and even become their sisters' slaves—I want that too!

Zhang Jie:......

Speechless, my older sister has already drifted far from humanity and is close to being a divine being, though she only dares to say such things.

Put bluntly, my older sister just likes to talk big, which is just like our mother; could it be that she takes after her?

By comparison, he and the older brother together seem more reliable and serious.

Sis, where's the older brother?

He's out running on the track.

Zhang Jie turned his head and saw, in the crowd, a guy who stood out like a crane among chickens, running swiftly around the track; his wheat-colored skin showed extraordinary strength—it was none other than his older brother.

The older brother is now fifteen, fast approaching 1.9 meters tall, with muscles visible all over his body; calling him an athlete would not be an exaggeration.

Among the three of them, only the older brother, Zhang Shuo, is the most disciplined: every morning he gets up at 6:30 sharp, exercises, studies, and finishes the training task his father gave him, which is how he's become like this.

As for him, Zhang Jie, even now he's still shorter than his peers, looking like a little kid, and no one knows when he'll start growing.

Hey bro, tomorrow's a day off—want to go out for hot pot with sis?

No thanks, I need to study.

Zhang Yan dissatisfiedly rubbed Zhang Jie's head and muttered.

What's so good about this book!

Of course it's good—this thing is far more interesting than math.

Zhang Jie displayed the book in his hand, which turned out to be an introduction to abnormal intensity.

This world is too dangerous; knowledge truly is something that can save your life.

So, sis, have you decided what you want to do in the Abnormal Bureau in the future?

What to be... definitely the strongest fighter, right!

For example? Silent Enforcer!!!

Zhang Jie nodded; that's not bad.

And what about you, bro?

Me? I'll just honestly be an investigator.

The Abnormal Bureau has many positions, but overall they can be divided into five grades, with the abnormalities they can handle also separated by grade.

Grade I is just the regular personnel of the Abnormal Bureau.

Responsible for patrolling the outside and the periphery of the contaminated zone are the border inspectors; responsible for recording and archiving anomalies are the anomaly markers; responsible for guarding safe outposts are the outpost guards, etc.

Even the initial trainee investigators fall into this category, while investigators themselves are a broad profession and the most versatile.

Then comes Grade II, the formal officers of the Abnormal Bureau, who can handle medium-intensity contamination, making up most of the bureau's positions.

And Grade III, the elite officers of the Abnormal Bureau, are its backbone.

Mom's job is Lamp Keeper, sis just mentioned Silent Enforcer, and Dad's senior investigator all belong to this tier.

Lamp Keepers are responsible for clearing paths in the contaminated zone; every squad venturing deeper must have at least one Lamp Keeper.

Silent Enforcers, meanwhile, are the core combat force, responsible for dealing with contamination and slaying anomalies—in other words, the strongest attackers sis just mentioned.

Above Grade III comes Grade IV, which are superhuman experts in humanity and also the Abnormal Bureau's elite guardians, capable of single-handedly handling ultra-high-intensity contamination—one person can hold down a city.

And one level higher than that is the ceiling of humanity; it's not recorded in the books, but the well-read Zhang Jie knows there is such a profession.

Terminal Overseer, capable of single-handedly resisting ultra-high-intensity contamination, guarding those extremely dangerous containment objects humanity has to date—taken alone, each is an immensely powerful being.

Zhang Jie yearns for it, but alas, his body is truly weak; he can't learn his older brother's discipline, nor his older sister's vitality, and he still doesn't know where his way forward lies.

He really is a bit... too much of a slacker!

Sis, I'm really lost.

? At your young age, you're emo over an egg.

Zhang Jie pursed his lips; his older sister's speech is still as blunt as ever.

I don't have any special talents, nothing special about me; in the future.... can I really become the kind of exceptionally capable person you guys talk about?

The next moment, the older sister directly charged like a ball, hugging him in her arms.

What nonsense are you spouting? How could you not have anything special? You're the brother of me, Zhang Yan, the Great Demon King!

Hehe, no joking, little Zhang Jie, you've always been the most talented in our family.

Do you know? As long as you're here, as long as we stay together, our whole family doesn't need to eat any anti-contamination food anymore.

Your body is far stronger than you imagine—so much stronger, so much stronger.

What's more, how could you not be special! You're my most special younger brother!

We're the best in the world, right?

Zhang Jie:......

Oh no, I almost got moved; my older sister's next line will definitely be asking him for pocket money.

Sis, no matter how much you praise me, I won't give you my weekly pocket money.

Soul-less! How could you be like this! Aren't we the best in the world?

In the end, Xiao Lao Zhang still couldn't withstand his older sister's soft and hard persuasion, tears in his eyes as he handed over his weekly pocket money....

Oh oh! We're the best in the world!!!

Seeing his older sister's foolish joy, Zhang Jie shook his head, oh well, just give it to her; anyway he doesn't usually need it.

Hey! Zhang Jie, hurry up and catch up!

Zhang Yan turned back and urged him on.

Oh..... sis, you...

Zhang Yan saw Zhang Jie's eyes suddenly widen, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Zhang Jie's whole body began to tremble, his arms involuntarily rising, his face also turning ferocious.

Sis.... close... close your eyes...

Definitely don't....

Open them!

Look at me, look at me, look at me!!!!

(Hehe, didn't scare you, did I, all you godfathers~)
