Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

"Therefore, there is a very big difference between reaching the third stage and finally achieving a balance in all aspects of the synthesis."

"Level 0, Stage 2? Does that mean Level 0?"

Zhang Chaoqiang asked this question, and "zero level" probably means that it is unable to synthesize a first-order artificial synthetic crystal core.

The second stage of zero-level seems to be the process of stopping the synthesis of the first-order artificial synthetic crystal core in the original embryonic state of compressing various spiritual energies into the artificial crystal core.

Logically speaking, this is indeed how the current synthesis is statistically analyzed, and Su Huoyin and Ma Suying subsequently addressed his doubts.

"That's right, Zhang Chaoqiang, don't think that the requirements for this Central National Synthesis Competition are low. In fact, they are not low at all, because they require the contestants to be around 16-20 years old."

"And so far, in the entire Tian'an City, do you know how many people have successfully obtained this level of Synthesizer qualification certificate?"

Before Zhang Chaoqiang could answer, Su Huoyin continued his question: "It's 0, that's right, Zhang Chaoqiang, you heard me correctly, it's zero, there's no one here!"

"Currently, there are very few people involved in the field of synthesizing artificial crystal cores. Therefore, under such circumstances, there are even fewer synthesizers who can reach this level."

As for Tianan City, because we responded to the call of the Central Government relatively late, the development of science and technology classes has actually been a few months behind other cities in the past two years.

"It's not just at the student level, Zhang Chaoqiang, do you know what level the highest-level synthesizer is in our Central Country right now?"

This time, Su Huoyin really didn't ask and answer his own questions, trying to stimulate Zhang Chaoqiang's thirst for knowledge.

"Stage 4-1?"

"Smart!" Su Huoyin clapped his hands, admiring Zhang Chaoqiang's decisive answer.

He certainly hadn't expected Zhang Chaoqiang to answer so quickly. After glancing at Ma Suying, he continued to explain:

"That's right, we're right at the fourth stage. But it's not that our Central Kingdom lacks talent in this area, it's just that technology is still developing and we haven't yet developed the embryo of a fifth-order artificial synthetic crystal core."

This is merely a constraint on our country's technological development, and I believe it will be resolved soon, so there's no need to worry.

Therefore, it is precisely because of the lack of embryos for fifth-order artificial synthetic crystal cores that some excellent synthesizers have been unable to achieve further development…

Just like Ma Suying, she is an excellent third-level zero-stage synthesizer.

Although Ma Suying possesses the strength of a fourth-tier martial artist, her control over spiritual power has not reached a level where she can communicate with and purify the crystal cores of demonic beasts of the same tier.

Therefore, Ma Suying's overall synthesis strength is still at the third level.

The current situation in Tianan City is still quite severe in the field of synthetic materials.

There isn't a single martial artist in the entire Tianan City who can handle a mere Level 0, Stage 2 Synthesizer?

Zhang Chaoqiang felt this was not very reasonable, and Su Huoyin, who seemed to have seen through his doubts, was now quickly explaining his confusion.

“Zhang Chaoqiang, you have an overly optimistic view of the role of a synthesizer. First of all, this profession is only in its initial stage for teenagers.”

In our previous synthetic projects, we in Central Country have not brought this kind of thing to the students' attention.

Therefore, in such a short period of time, even the most gifted students could only participate. In fact, there were virtually no teenagers under the age of twenty nationwide who had truly reached the level of a first-class synthesizer.

"Therefore, in our Tianan City, we cannot find any teenagers who can reach the level of a synthesizer at stage two."

Of course, one factor is that we have been promoting the course on artificial synthesis of crystal nuclei too slowly.

Another factor is that the youth in Tianan City do indeed have significant shortcomings and lag behind in their skills as synthesizers.

At the same time, Ma Suying also said:

"That's right. In this respect and under these circumstances, we can only find that you, Zhang Chaoqiang, are the most outstanding student."

Your performance in class has been witnessed by the teachers. Being able to purify the chaotic energy from twelve different types of monster cores at the same time is an incredible feat in itself.

Furthermore, you can easily compress them into an artificial embryo with a first-order crystal core. In my opinion, your chances of becoming a Level 0, Stage 2 Synthesizer are almost 100%!

After the two finished speaking, Zhang Chaoqiang pondered for a while.

Whether it's to earn money to truly give Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong a home, or to win rewards in the competition, such as those high-level artificial synthetic crystal cores.

Perhaps this could further improve his control over spiritual power. In these two aspects alone, he should participate in this so-called Central Country Synthesis Competition.

"Yes, Principal Su, Teacher Ma, I agree to participate in the Central National Synthesis Competition two months from now!"

Under their guidance, they agreed that Zhang Chaoqiang would go to the Tianan City Science and Technology Research Institute this Saturday afternoon to take the relevant qualification exam for a synthesizer.

However, there is another current situation that needs to be considered.

That is Longjiang City, which Principal Su and Teacher Ma just mentioned. It is also located in Linhai Province, right next to Tianan City.

Longjiang City has produced many outstanding students with relevant qualifications and abilities, and they want to snatch the only spot from Tianan City to participate in the Central National Synthesis Competition.

The quotas for the Central National Synthesis Competition are uniformly allocated to the provinces to which each city belongs for planning and integration.

Principal Su informed Zhang Chaoqiang that Tian'an City did not have any students under the age of 20 who had reached the second stage of the zero-level synthesizer status. Therefore, their only competition spot would be snatched up by outstanding students from other cities.

This is because during the first round of registration, they did not have enough students who met the requirements, so they were excluded based on the participation rules and standards.

They have to give up this spot, even if someone else in their Tianan City meets the competition requirements later...

They also need to compete with students from other cities who are qualified to compete for their original spot. Only by winning can they regain the only spot in the Central Country Synthesis Competition that belongs to Tianan City.

If the Tianan City contestant loses the competition, then that spot will no longer be available to them.

Adding a synthesizer slot would allow us to participate in the competition again and try to reclaim that spot.

The current situation in Tian'an City is that Longjiang City has already moved the names of the two students from their city who are vying for the spots to Linhai Province.

After successfully obtaining his synthesizer qualification, Zhang Chaoqiang needs to compete against several outstanding students from Longjiang City in a synthesis contest, using his skills to reclaim the competition spot that belongs to them.

This is indeed the point that Tianan City wants to reclaim.

Even though Zhang Chaoqiang is a genius whose name has been recorded in the national archives, the rules of Linhai Province will not be an exception.

After all, in this emerging identity industry, Tian'an City's performance is indeed not as good as other cities in Linhai Province. It's no wonder that the officials of Linhai Province, with Zhang Chaoqiang's preparations to participate, still reserved their approval for Longjiang City's quota competition.

After receiving Zhang Chaoqiang's consent, Su Huoyin immediately reported the matter to the Extraordinary Management Bureau and government departments in his area.

The two departments then reported to the higher-ups in Tianan City, and the files were set up in just one day.

Furthermore, the outstanding students in Longjiang City also heard about Zhang Chaoqiang's plan to participate in this synthesis competition.

Upon first hearing this, their expressions and emotions were disdainful, because they had already heard that Zhang Chaoqiang did not have any synthesizer certification.

The absence of this symbol, representing one's overall strength, signifies a weakness in that area.

Even in martial arts, Zhang Chaoqiang has demonstrated unparalleled talent.

However, while synthetic technology is related to martial arts, it is not an absolute factor.

Therefore, they are also full of confidence in Zhang Chaoqiang's preparation to participate in the competition, especially since he is participating in a different track.

Before engaging in a synthetic battle with them, Zhang Chaoqiang must first possess a syntheticist qualification certificate of level two or above; otherwise, he might not even be qualified to compete with them.

It's incredibly satisfying to fantasize about defeating a recognized genius in some area of ​​ability.

Just imagining such a scene is enough to send their adrenaline soaring.

Those classmates had even figured out that Zhang Chaoqiang was no match for them in this aspect, and that he wouldn't even get the chance to compete with them.

The night before heading off to take the Synthesizer certification exam, after dinner, the family snuggled on the sofa watching TV…

It's still that kind of TV series that's half fantasy, half melodramatic, and even has that awkward style from the last century.

It's the kind of situation where, at the slightest disagreement, the two sides start dancing and fighting.

It was a peaceful night. In recent days, Dad had become the king of the kids. He had long since stopped researching those so-called cigarette cards that might corrupt the children. He had opened up a new path.

Temporary tattoos…

Zhang Chaoqiang, who had been preoccupied with schoolwork and other trivial matters these past few days, was stunned for a full half hour after learning of his father Zhang Huolong's absurd behavior that evening.

Zhang Chaoqiang even told Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei that he was going to sign up for the synthesizer level qualification certificate exam...

I haven't been able to voice my thoughts about asking my parents what kind of house they like.

Because Dad's actions were just too incredible?

"Dad, you're actually selling temporary tattoos to elementary school kids?"

"Yes, what do you think? I'm pretty good at business, right? Plus, my family owns a tattoo shop, so we have a really good reputation among those kids!"

Zhang Huolong sighed, "There's no way around it. Those cigarette cards that tempt kids to buy cigarettes are something we can't touch anymore..."

You mean, it's okay to touch temporary tattoos?

Zhang Chaoqiang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise...

Chapter 205 Target Audience

This thought process is getting more and more bizarre…

At least that's what Zhang Chaoqiang thinks.

Faced with Zhang Chaoqiang's questioning, Zhang Huolong sighed and thought to himself with Shen Qiangwei: Chaoqiang has probably entered his rebellious phase again. He always wants to negate everything they do.

Zhang Huolong explained, "Of course, one is misleading guidance and the other is correct guidance. How can you confuse the two?"

“In fact, we recently discovered that many underage students spend all day on the streets, and some even frequently come to our tattoo shop wanting to get tattoos.”

Shen Qiangwei responded, "In the past two weeks, several young boys who look only fifteen or sixteen years old, who haven't even graduated from vocational school or junior high, have come to me trying to get me to tattoo them..."

As she said these words, Shen Qiangwei scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, after all, her parents' previous behavior was no better than that of these street thugs.

They're just a bit more innocent than them. Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were already quite the stereotypical figures at their age.

"So, our parents have been through that time, and they've come from their own experiences and ages. We understand that this is the time when they need validation the most."

They admire various rebellious behaviors, using the guise of being different to always engage in behaviors and dresses that are unlike anything else.

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong did not deny this behavior; they did indeed like it very much back then… (Although they still like it very much now, at least they have never regretted it).

However, hobbies are one aspect, and societal acceptance of them is another. Even if Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong no longer care about the outside world, the strange views of their neighbors and even strangers...

However, in some aspects of life, tattoos do indeed pose a significant obstacle for some people.

Back when Zhang Chaoqiang was just born, Zhang Huolong worked at a spirit weapon mold factory, where the requirement was that no one could have tattoos or dyed hair.

However, he was only able to stay by cultivating good relationships with the supervisor and team leader who had recruited him and giving them some gifts.

The same applies to others; they cannot show their tattoos in the factory, so even on hot days, those with tattoos can only cover them with clothes.

If Zhang Huolong hadn't been so adept at handling things, he would have been fired long ago, just like his other coworkers, for accidentally revealing his "logo" on his clothes in the factory.

Therefore, having a logo branded on one's body is extremely important. Children don't understand, and it's unacceptable to allow it to affect their future lives.
