Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Jiang Mian sat alone on the hospital bed, flipping through the documents in her hand.

Just now, a group of leaders, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, suddenly started kissing me—the Construction Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Education Bureau, the City Defense Force…

They spoke earnestly and were very attentive, treating her like a rare treasure.

But Jiang Mian knew in her heart that this sudden attention was closely related to her newly "awakened" abilities.

The document in her hand... says it's a new regulation issued this year.

The document states that all the top 50 Awakeners in the sequence will be included in the "training program" and enjoy the highest level of resource allocation.

Participants will not only receive generous scholarships and one-on-one guidance from experienced awakened individuals, but will also be able to take the "Mist Express" for free to the central urban area for special training.

Central urban clusters...

Jiang Mian had only heard of them; they were the earliest seven base cities, and now they seemed to have developed to a level of civilization almost identical to that before the mist, equivalent to the current capital.

Ordinary people living inside the walls would never have the opportunity to go to other base cities in their entire lives, let alone go to that place.

With such special attention and her own "not low" rank, Jiang Mian's future seemed limitless to them.

"No wonder they were in such a hurry..."

Jiang Mian murmured.

As an awakened being who has just "awakened" to Sequence 48 [Eye of the Storm], she is stuck at this point in time.

These leaders clearly wanted to invest in her and cultivate relationships in advance.

Now, with official protection, no one, not even a second-, third-, or fourth-tier awakened being like Li Hao's father, dares to touch Jiang Mian.

However, she will certainly receive much more attention than before, and she must maintain an even more perfect disguise, without revealing the slightest flaw.

Unfortunately, all her abilities are related to the elements. Apart from [Wind] which can conceal her presence and facilitate hiding or escaping, she relies entirely on herself to disguise herself in a crowd.

The ward door was gently pushed open, interrupting Jiang Mian's thoughts.

Lin Yun returned, followed by another person.

It's Ye Chenyang.

He wasn't wearing his uniform today, but rather a dark-colored casual suit.

Jiang Mian subconsciously narrowed her eyes, looking at Ye Chenyang walking towards her. How should I put it...

Judging from his appearance alone, he has distinct facial features and deep, bright eyes. He looks upright and dignified, yet he doesn't have the dullness of a naive young man.

She admitted that he was rather handsome...

?

Wait, what is she thinking?!

Jiang Mian quickly stopped himself from having such a dangerous thought.

I just... mentally evaluated a man's appearance? How ridiculous...?

Could it be that I've been in this body for too long, and my cognition is starting to become confused?

"It's time to take your medicine..."

She silently looked away, thinking it must be the inhibitor's fault.

"Jiang, my classmate?"

Ye Chenyang sat down beside the hospital bed, handed over a small bag and a heavily damaged cell phone, his voice gentle yet powerful.

"Huh?"

Jiang Mian took the things from his hands.

I changed all the clothes I wore yesterday; that person's belongings have probably been put into safekeeping.

However, she didn't have much stuff; just a little money, a set of keys, and a broken cell phone.

"Thanks."

She tried to get up, but Ye Chenyang gestured for her to just lean against something.

Seeing that Jiang Mian was in good spirits, Lin Yun gave him a few more instructions, mainly that he should not use his abilities lightly in the next few days. Then she checked the time.

She frowned slightly, her expression apologetic, and said:

"Get some rest. Your teacher has to go to school now and will come see you later."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Yun then hurriedly left, leaving only Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang in the ward.

The room felt rather deserted for a moment.

Jiang Mian lowered her eyes, her fingertips tracing the cracks on her phone screen, her mind replaying the details of yesterday.

I think I haven't given myself away, have I?

She thought her performance yesterday was alright, and she had been consciously controlling her condition afterward. She figured the boy was young and shouldn't be that perceptive.

"Jiang, are you feeling better?"

Ye Chenyang asked casually, without inquiring about the details of yesterday's events.

Judging from the ability he sensed, Jiang Mian always seemed very special, which made him want to learn more about her.

"It's okay, just a little weak."

"What are your plans regarding the abilities you've awakened?"

"I have no idea."

Jiang Mian shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of vulnerability.

"My mind is still a bit of a mess. And... [the eye of the storm], I can hardly believe it, maybe it was just good luck..."

Ye Chenyang leaned forward slightly, resting his hands on his knees, with a serious expression.

"This is your inherent potential, not luck."

"But... I feel like I can't control it."

Jiang Mian looked uneasy, like an ordinary person who had suddenly received a huge sum of money and didn't know how to use it.

Seeing this, Ye Chenyang offered words of comfort:

"The abilities of the top 50 sequences, especially the [element] path, are indeed difficult to control in the early stages."

"Moreover, the damage and range of the skill depend on the awakened one's own ability to manipulate the elements."

Aside from elemental bursts, even within the same type of ability, there will be slight differences.

"Um."

Jiang Mian responded softly. She already knew something about this, so she was still thinking about how to control her future "behavior".

"You've just experienced an elemental burst, so you should know it's very demanding and can easily cause... friendly fire."

Ye Chenyang observed Jiang Mian's reaction. She seemed to still be recovering from yesterday's events, and her reactions were somewhat slow.

"My ability is Sequence 49, [Radiant Blade]. Although the paths are different, there are many similarities in the manipulation of abilities. Perhaps I can teach you something."

Sequence 49, her ability is "in the same tier," also a rare high-level sequence.

It seems reasonable enough, but Jiang Mian always felt that there was something wrong with the intensity.

A Tier 1 [Radiant Blade] can move freely in her wind field? And it even has additional mental skills?

This guy is definitely hiding something!

Although he had doubts, Jiang Mian did not show them, but instead revealed some surprise at the right time.

Right now, a "senior" who is also a high-level rank has offered to guide her, and she seems to have no choice but to accept it gratefully.

"Really? Thank you..."

"Don't mention it. You need to take good care of your health before that."

Ye Chenyang turned his gaze to the documents beside Jiang Mian and reminded him:

"If you agree to participate in this program, you can come with me. Including you, there are only three people in our city with advanced ranks so far."

"We can discuss the specifics once you've recovered. Right now, what you need most is rest, so I won't bother you any further."

He got up and left a note for Jiang Mian.

"This is my contact information. Contact me if you need anything."

"Uh-huh."

"have a good rest."

Ye Chenyang didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the ward.

Jiang Mian listened to his steady footsteps gradually fade into the distance until they disappeared completely at the end of the corridor before she finally let out a slow breath.

Seriously... what kind of bad luck does she have, always running into this weird guy.
