Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"But I can answer that question for you first, and I can summarize it in one sentence."

"Because I'm...more advanced than you!"

More advanced...

Chen Xi didn't press Zhang Wanyi for details or offer further explanation, and continued:

"In the awakened state, awakening requires guidance to obtain an 'identity card.'"

At this point, her eyes narrowed:

"For us, this is the most important thing; it represents an identity, an identity with extraordinary powers."

"As I said before, the Black Tower's devouring is random, but this randomness is not completely random; rather, it is targeted randomness."

"There is only one type of person who will not be devoured: those who possess identity."

"Although you are currently in an awakened state where you are not contaminated by cognition, you are still susceptible to being devoured."

Chen Xi nodded silently; Zhang Wanyi's words made him realize the danger of the incident.

The Black Tower, which he had always been very curious about, turned out to be such a dangerous thing. At the same time, he also thought of a question:

"According to what you said, are the probabilities of being devoured different for ordinary people, people with extraordinary potential, and people in my current awakened state?"

"You're quick-witted."

Zhang Wanyi said something briefly and then shook her head:

"They are indeed different. Strictly speaking, the first two are the same, namely, ordinary people and people with extraordinary potential. The probability of these two types of people being devoured is the same."

"And you, in your awakened state, have the highest probability of being devoured."

Hearing this, and combining it with what had been said before, Chen Xi suddenly realized something:

"I see. There's no choice in this. If you can't become an enemy of the Black Tower, you'll only be prey to be hunted and mercilessly wiped out someday!"

"No wonder you said earlier that the Black Tower was the enemy."

"good."

"So as soon as I learned about your situation, I came to find you."

Chen Xi nodded thoughtfully, looking directly at Zhang Wanyi:

"If it's not presumptuous of me, may I see what you claim to be your identity?"

"I want to know exactly what it is, and what you mean by supernatural power."

Zhang Wanyi did not hide anything:

"My identity is 'School Beauty,' serial number 78, School Beauty."

After Zhang Wanyi finished speaking, she opened her palm to Chen Xi, and a card the size of a playing card with golden patterns floated up from her palm.

The scene was extremely bizarre, but after experiencing the Lin Fan incident and Zhang Wanyi's tennis incident, he gradually became able to accept these supernatural events.

A flick of the coin rotated the card, revealing both sides to Chen Xi.

One side says "78", and the other side says "school beauty".

The school beauty has a Roman numeral "I" on her head, which is the same as the Arabic numeral "1".

"This is an identity card that represents your status. Sequence number 78 is on the back, and the school beauty's is on the front."

"The number above the school beauty's head is my rank."

"Level I is the lowest, so don't think I'm some big shot."

"But I am indeed more advanced than you, because I am your next level."

"In addition, serial number 78, the school beauty, is a special identity card among these identity cards."

"special?"

"Yes, there are restrictions on the awakening of this identity card. First, this identity can only be obtained by a woman, and second, the woman herself must be the school beauty."

"In terms of probability, this identity card is currently the most difficult to awaken."

Chen Xi nodded.

According to the other party's description, you must first be an extremely rare individual among people, possessing extraordinary potential.

Then, through the accidental devouring event of the Black Tower, you successfully transform this potential into the so-called awakened state.

And this person must be a woman, and happen to have the looks of a school beauty; the probability of that is indeed extremely low.

"And then there's the extraordinary ability you mentioned. Every identity possesses a kind of extraordinary ability, which we call a special characteristic."

"And the school beauty's extraordinary characteristic is 'eternal youth.'"

"No matter how old I am, I will always look like I am 18 years old."

"So I felt perfectly at ease being a student at school at the age of 24."

Chen Xi grasped the key words:

"On the surface... does that mean your organs also age normally?"

"Yes, but it's enough that I look 18 until the day I die. After all, what woman wants to accept getting old?"

"Indeed, this is every woman's ultimate dream."

Chen Xi nodded, embodying the "true" personality type.

"After awakening our identity, we call ourselves extraordinary beings. This stage is also called the extraordinary stage, and our identity grants us abilities that transcend the laws of physics."

"This ability varies depending on one's status."

Chen Xi blinked, a puzzled look on her face:

"There's something I don't understand: once you get a legal identity, do you have to live according to that identity?"

"Senior year of high school probably isn't a very good time, is it?"

"Don't tell me you love studying; you should go to university then."

"For the upgrade."

Zhang Wanyi said directly:

"According to our summary, doing the things corresponding to your identity is the best way to gain experience. Only by gaining enough experience can you level up."

"As I mentioned before, Level I is the lowest, so I must accumulate experience as a school beauty to upgrade from Extraordinary Level I to Extraordinary Level II."

"After reaching the Extraordinary II stage, will your status change, and will you no longer be the school beauty?"

Chen Xi keenly grasped the point of upgrading. In his view, as the extraordinary stage is improved, the identity should also be upgraded accordingly.

"That's right, but you don't need to know what my future identity will be, since you can't possibly be the school beauty."

After speaking, Chen Xi looked at him at eye level:

"After being the school beauty for three years, I have a feeling I'm about to reach the Extraordinary II stage."

"As for you, you were purely an accident."

"Everyone in an organization has the mission of finding their own kind."

"Organization? What kind of official organization is it?"

Chen Xi was not surprised by this.

He only learned today how dangerous the Black Tower is. It was right not to make it public, but there should be a dedicated department to combat it.

"official?"

Zhang Wanyi gave a somewhat helpless smile, and after saying what sounded like a complaint, glanced helplessly at the black tower in the distance:

"Chen Xi, you're still a student, so you don't really feel it. But once you enter society, you'll find that you feel helpless and powerless in the face of many things."

"In a world where cognition can be erased, there are only a handful of people who truly know the truth."

"Where would any official trust us?"

Whether you like it or not, in a sense, we are already outcasts in this world!
