Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 52: Universal System

An hour later, the three boarded the Camellia.

Weina returned to the command center with an expressionless face, leaving Li Nanke and Matthew in the vacant crew room.

When the team members in the command center saw Weina coming back, they all came up to her and asked about the civilian supernatural being.

Wena ignored them and went into a separate cabin with Bastian to begin reporting.

"Team Leader, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Bastian smiled and said, "I don't have any expectations for that civilian supernatural being. How can I say it's good news or bad news?"

"Team leader, you will know after listening to me." After calming down, Weina continued, "The good news is that this extraordinary person possesses three extraordinary powers."

Bastian's smile froze: "Weina, you are kidding me, a three-element extraordinary person?"

What is the concept of a triple-system extraordinary person? It is a person who possesses three main extraordinary powers. As long as this extraordinary person can be promoted normally, he will become a big man in the future.

Not to mention three-series, even double-series extraordinary talents are already extremely rare.

Bastian has always been well-mannered. Thinking of the so-called bad news, he had a rough idea in his mind. It was probably that although the extraordinary person possessed three extraordinary powers at the same time, the three powers might be of lower level.

"What are the three extraordinary powers?"

"Flesh system, electromagnetic system and fantasy system."

The electromagnetic system is a relatively outstanding category of supernatural powers. Electromagnetic interference and pulses are only branches of this system. The strongest ability of the electromagnetic system lies in the creation and control of magnetic field sources. The abilities of flying and controlling metal can all be included in this.

The Fantasy Department is an extremely excellent category of supernatural beings, and its abilities in some aspects are far greater than those of the Electromagnetic Department.

After the fantasy department's extraordinary abilities are enhanced, not only can inanimate objects such as weapons and equipment be materialized, but even some powerful legendary creatures can be materialized.

Bastian had heard that a certain important figure in the Control Bureau possessed this ability and had once materialized a dragon...

As for the meat system, this extraordinary category is rated poorly, far inferior to the above two types, but having the electromagnetic system and the fantasy system is already excellent, and the meat system is harmless even if it is just a bonus.

Wei Na took a deep breath and continued: "Team Leader, the meat system is not bad news, but good news."

"Weina, is there something wrong with your language organization ability?"

Weina pursed her lips and said helplessly: "The real bad news is that two of his three supernatural powers are incomplete. For example, the electromagnetic system only has the ability of electromagnetic interference and pulse, and has no ability to create and control magnetic field sources."

"And the fantasy type. His fantasy type supernatural power cannot materialize whatever he wants. It can only materialize certain things he sees in dreams. These are not man-made dreams, but natural dreams."

"Only his physical strength is relatively complete, and the other two kinds of strength have little room for advancement. He can only focus on the physical strength... Alas, what a reckless man."

"Damn it, this is damned!"

Bastian's smile disappeared completely.

Triple talent is an extremely rare talent, but this extraordinary person named Li Nanke, although he has triple talent, is almost the same as a single talent.

Weina had just experienced a lot of ups and downs. When she got caught in the rain, she took away the team leader's umbrella. It didn't seem so sad for two people to get caught in the rain at the same time.

She suggested, "Team leader, give him a medical checkup when we get back to the city. Maybe if we cure his illness, his condition will improve."

Bastian closed his eyes and stroked his stubble for a long time in thought.

He suddenly said, "This situation shouldn't happen to a three-element transcendent. I suspect there is another possibility, which is very similar to what you just described. Weina, have you heard of the Universal System?"

"Of course, the Universal System can accommodate all extraordinary powers...Team Leader, are you saying that Li Nanke is from the Universal System?"

"Your authority level is not high enough, and you don't understand the true meaning of the Universal System. Although this type of extraordinary power can accommodate all extraordinary powers, it itself has huge limitations."

Bastian continued, "All extraordinary powers will bring about a certain amount of mental erosion, and the Universal System is no exception. Majoring in two or three systems is already the limit of what the human spirit can bear. If one majors in all the extraordinary powers, one will definitely suffer a mental breakdown and become lost and crazy."

"So the Universal System cannot focus on all the extraordinary powers. The degree of advancement of each power is very limited, because only in this way can we avoid the complex and huge spiritual erosion."

"If a single-system transcendent develops a certain type of transcendent power vertically, then the universal system expands most of the transcendent powers horizontally. This expansion is reflected in the understanding of the transcendent."

Weina thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then the Universal System is useless. People with this kind of extraordinary power can only be low-level jacks of all trades forever." Bastian smiled again, "Weina, we need to see the essence through the phenomenon. The Universal System is indeed weak in combat, but it is strong in other ways."

"Don't you think the characteristics of the Universal System are very suitable for researchers?"

After a little thought, Weina suddenly understood. Based on what the team leader said, she understood that the Vientiane Department was indeed very strong in research.

The Crisis Management Bureau has a large and strict organizational structure. In addition to the operations department where the detainees are located, there are also intelligence departments, logistics departments, research departments, and so on.

The detainees are the warriors fighting on the front line, doing the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous work. Most of them come from safe zones.

The research department is different. As the name suggests, its main job is to study taboo objects. Except for the occasional front-line accompanying mission, most of the time they stay in offices and laboratories. The researchers in it are basically high-end talents and intellectuals.

Some researchers also possess extraordinary abilities, but those abilities are not suitable for combat, but are specifically used for research.

But taboos come in all shapes and sizes, and some have such bizarre properties that it's hard to fathom.

If a researcher possesses the extraordinary power of the Universal System, he will be able to absorb the pheromones on most forbidden objects, and use his own talent to forcibly peel off the mysterious veil of the forbidden objects and quickly learn their characteristics... Although not all forbidden objects will have pheromone residues, the Universal System can be called an innate research holy body based on this ability alone.

"Team leader, don't we have found a treasure?"

"Although researchers often interact with us, if we want to say that we have found a treasure, it must be the research department that has found it. And don't jump to conclusions... You lead the way, I'm going to meet that Li Nanke."

……

In the crew room, Matthew made a cup of coffee, handed it to Li Nanke and comforted him, "Don't be disappointed. Talent is a gift from God. How much you can actually achieve depends on your own efforts."

"The overall rating of the flesh system is just a little bit worse, but it doesn't mean that this kind of supernatural power is useless. It's just that the combat effectiveness in the early stage is a little worse, and the potential in the later stage is a little lower. It's a little difficult to have the same combat power as supernatural powers of the same level..."

Li Nanke took the coffee and thanked him: "Matthew, you don't have to comfort me. I would rather be a civilian than a combatant like the inmates."

Because of the unexpected situation, he experienced two forbidden dreams in a row within a few days. Although he was not too tired physically, his nerves were already highly tense, like a fully drawn bow, which would break sooner or later if it was not relaxed.

If you become a containment, you may have to carry out the next mission as soon as you wake up from the forbidden dream. If you stay in this state for a long time, you will probably have a mental breakdown when you absorb the main characteristics.

If I could become a civilian staff member who also had the opportunity to come into contact with taboo objects, it would be much better than becoming a detainee, after all, the latter had to keep their heads on their belts all year round.

Matthew asked in surprise, "You want to be a researcher?"

"The researcher... sounds like a good person."

Matthew sighed, "That's impossible. You should just focus on improving your physical system and become a containment unit."

"why?"

“Do you have a graduate degree?”

"No."

"Have you been to college?"

“Maybe in my previous life…”

“What about secondary education in the safe zone?”

"Halfway through...Okay, stop talking. I understand."

The door of the crew room was suddenly pushed open, and Weina walked in, followed by a middle-aged man with a neatly slicked-back hair. He was also wearing the internment's pure black uniform with silver edges, and there was an additional long sword symbol on his epaulettes.

The man had a square face with an Omega chin, commonly known as a butt chin or a widow's groove, and he had a dark stubble.

Matthew immediately greeted, "Team Leader."

Bastian nodded and turned to Li Nanke and said, "Young man, do you want to be a researcher?"

Matthew was stunned:???
