Chapter 14: Superpower
"Thank you for purchasing Gao Fei Toy Company products, dear, please give us a like!"
Fang Xing opened the delivery box and took out the drones and monitoring equipment one by one.
A mellow and sweet voice sounded, then returned to silence.
These drones, at Fang Xing's request, were all shaped like various simulated birds, and the monitoring equipment was also loaded with camouflage functions.
"My wallet…"
He silently mourned for his wallet for three seconds, then made preparations and began to travel!
A flash of silver light.
Other world.
Temporary camp.
At this time, the camp had already been covered, shrouded in a layer of camouflage; looking down from high altitude, it was no different from the surrounding jungle.
The reason for this was that Fang Xing had been startled by a flying monster before, and hurriedly upgraded the camp's camouflage.
'After all, it's just a temporary camp, not safe enough…'
'Need to consider setting up a permanent camp; can choose a rock cave or dig underground… the deeper, the better.'
For Fang Xing, there was no such thing as being blocked and unable to leave.
Therefore, the deeper the cave, the more three seconds of escape time he could win for himself, and the safer it would be!
'Wait! Doesn't this mean… I'm going to turn into a burrowing mouse?'
'No, a hamster seems cuter…'
Fang Xing muttered, looking at the monitoring screen.
"Hmm?"
After scanning a few times, his eyes lit up instantly.
According to the route of the previous four-person group, he ordered the drone to scout vigorously in the direction they came from, which was the east, and sure enough, there was a harvest.
"One hundred miles to the east, traces of a human gathering place appeared!"
Fang Xing looked at a photo, on which the outline of field ridges appeared.
Around the field ridges, there were houses built of wood and thatch, and people seemed to be farming in the fields.
"Farmland?"
"It seems these monitors are going to come in handy."
"These farmers, even if they are martial artists, are all seventy or eighty years old, with insufficient blood and Qi; deafness and blurred vision are possible… they won't discover the monitoring immediately. Can let the simulated bird-type drones go out and sprinkle the monitors disguised as stones or beetles…"
According to Fang Xing's estimation, only the leader among the four-person team he saw before, that martial artist at the Unpolished Jade Realm, had a certain possibility of discovering the monitoring equipment.
After all, martial artists at the Unpolished Jade Realm mostly have a kind of innate spiritual sense and are good at discovering various hostile gazes.
Although monitoring equipment is more like an inanimate object, there is also a certain probability of being discovered.
'If it were an Unpolished Jade martial artist from the Blue Star Federation, the probability of discovery would be higher…'
'The indigenous martial artists here shouldn't understand technology, nor do they have interference and reconnaissance equipment; the probability of discovery is low… Do it!'
Fang Xing set the program and ordered the simulated birds to take off.
If you look closely, you will also find that these simulated birds are holding small things like stones and beetles in their claws.
These simulated birds will cross a hundred miles, come to that farmland area, and then drop the monitors like small stones and beetles.
Then… silently collect information and data…
……
More than ten days later.
Yucai High School.
Fang Xing stood silently in a stance, his consciousness gathering on the attribute panel:
【First Realm: Skin and Flesh (Refining Skin: 99/100)】
【Military Fist Twelve Styles: 9/100 (Proficient)】
【Long Xiang Gong: 29/100 (Proficient)】
"Just a little bit more, and the skin refining will be perfect!"
Looking at the martial arts realm, Fang Xing was very satisfied: "It's just that the Long Xiang Gong hasn't entered the next level, which is the third stage mentioned by Teacher Xia Long; it will most likely only achieve Copper Skin… Fortunately, skin and flesh are in the same realm. After refining flesh, if the Long Xiang Gong reaches the third stage, it will also silently refine the skin membrane, turning Copper Skin into Jade Skin."
Just then, his gaze flickered, and he saw a pair of eyes that made no effort to hide their hatred.
These eyes were bloodshot and belonged to a tall white youth.
"Cole…"
Fang Xing revealed a smile: "Why, still want to spar a bit?"
"No, let's wait until the final exam."
Cole withdrew his gaze and replied politely.
This forbearance made Fang Xing think a little higher of him, and he raised a trace of vigilance in his heart.
"A-Xing, you have to be careful; this Cole is said to have some money at home. After losing to you last time, he hired a special private coach and spent a lot of money to buy blood and Qi medicine…"
Liu Wei came to Fang Xing's side and reminded him in a low voice.
Practicing martial arts is about taking it one step at a time; there is no such thing as a sudden spiritual breakthrough and a surge in supernatural power.
Even with a famous teacher's guidance and sufficient resources, it still takes a certain amount of time to realize!
Fang Xing could even feel that Cole's strength was in a period of rapid growth.
By the time of the final exam, it might be surprising!
"Don't worry, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is ineffective."
Fang Xing replied confidently.
He had an entire other world as a resource base, sitting on a cultivation environment like a cosmic secret realm; his speed of becoming stronger would only be faster than Cole's!
After all, Cole's family background was just like that; it might not even be as good as Gu Yun's!
If the other party really made trouble during the final exam, Fang Xing wouldn't mind letting the other party feel what despair was!
"A-Xing, you have changed a lot."
Liu Wei couldn't help but fall silent.
"People will change."
Fang Xing replied.
"Yeah… people will change. I hope I can become stronger too… I have no resources, and my talent is not as good as A-Xing's. Now I can only pray that I will suddenly awaken one day and become a superpower user."
Liu Wei said as if joking.
"Superpower user? This evolutionary path is not very good…"
Fang Xing shook his head.
The so-called "superpower user" can also be called a "mutant," and its origin is a bit strange.
Although most scientific research shows that the abilities of "superpower users" are strange and varied, mostly coming from genetic mutations, it is a very random process.
But it is undeniable that the appearance of superpower users was not after humans entered the space age, but after the "Great Disaster Day"!
Although genes originally had the possibility of mutation, it is reasonable for humans to start their own evolution after coming into contact with the great universe, but according to the deduction of the Blue Star Federation, this slow process of gene evolution should be in units of ten thousand years.
And after the Great Disaster Day, this "process" seemed to have been pushed forward a thousand times by some existence.
Some sects also claim that superpower users are the favorites of extraterrestrial gods and are "new humans"!
Precisely because of this, finding that extraterrestrial evil god suspected of possessing the "superpower" authority is one of the key strategies of the Blue Star Federation today.
"Because the origin of superpower users is unclear… if you suddenly awaken a superpower, it may not be a good thing."
Fang Xing continued.
"I think superpowers have nothing to do with extraterrestrial evil gods; it's just the result of normal genetic mutation, and the probability is too small, so it's just talk… Besides, wasn't the college entrance examination champion of our fledgling star last year a superpower user? He didn't receive any control or discrimination…"
Liu Wei didn't think so on the surface, but his heart was complicated and unspeakable.
He thought of a certain black-clothed evil cultist who had suddenly come to his door before, preparing to win him over to the sect; the condition offered was that he could awaken a flesh-and-blood superpower!
Whether it was "Iron Physique" or "Super-speed Regeneration," even the lowest-level "Strength Multiplication," it had huge benefits for martial artists!
Once obtained, it is not impossible for martial arts progress to be rapid!
After all, even a low-level superpower of "Strength Multiplication" is "innate divine strength" in ancient times, equivalent to a martial arts genius with innate talent!
He was indeed hesitating…
After all, compared to naturally awakening superpowers, this kind of active induction of awakening is 100% inseparable from extraterrestrial evil gods.
Once involved, it is falling into the abyss!
'But… if I can't awaken a superpower, what can I use to surpass A-Xing?'
'If I can't even surpass A-Xing, how can I succeed in the college entrance examination in the future? How can I get out of the flesh-and-blood battlefield?'
'How can I… make Lianyi look at me squarely?'
Liu Wei secretly clenched his fists.
"Why mention this suddenly? Could it be… you awakened?"
Fang Xing suddenly looked at Liu Wei, a little suspicious.
"If I awakened, that would be great…"
Liu Wei responded frankly.
He was still in the swaying period and had not yet received the "gift," so he was quite open.
Even if he went to the infirmary for genetic testing, he would definitely not detect anything.
"Also… although naturally awakening superpowers is dangerous, for people like us, if we want to succeed, we have to fight for it…"
"Even being a superpower user is better than being cannon fodder."
"What's more, maybe the appearance of superpower users is a natural law, and everything is just the Federation thinking too much."
Fang Xing felt that this classmate might have really awakened some superpower, and his tone changed, with a trace of comfort.
It was precisely this comfort that stung Liu Wei's self-esteem.
"Yeah… if only I had one."
Liu Wei murmured.
Originally, he was still a little hesitant, but looking at the classmates in the class making rapid progress one by one.
Especially Fang Xing, who had the same background, had surpassed him, finally making him make up his mind!
'Even if I fall into the abyss, I must see the light of the moment!' ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
