Chapter 30 Concept

Du Wang and Cheng Huo fought for a total of 3 hours.

Aside from the first two rounds going smoothly, they were brutally beaten by all sorts of monsters and demons from the third round onwards.

Due to the limitations of the game characters' abilities, they can only rely on their skills to break through the situation and cannot use their own combat techniques.

Therefore, they are always defeated by evil spirits due to some minor mistakes.

As a result, they have gained a lot of experience in combining their abilities, and their tacit understanding and relationship have improved significantly compared to before.

After finishing the game, Cheng Huo asked while drinking a Coke, "Old Du, your ranking rose pretty fast. Did you take on some freelance work yesterday?"

Only a handful of people in the team knew about what happened in Shezhen.

Du Wang said, "Yes, I've already reported it to the captain."

Cheng Huo looked at him as if he were a monster: "You're working way too hard. Others would like to participate in a mission once a month, but you've only been doing this for a few days and you've already taken down 3 evil spirits."

Every encounter with evil spirits felt like a brush with death.

People's daily attitude is like that of hospital nurses, secretly praying every day that there won't be too many evil spirits.

"I need money," Du Wang replied briefly.

Cheng Huo nodded understandingly: "That's true. Anyway, we poor bastards don't know when we'll die at the hands of evil spirits, so we might as well make more money for our families while we still have the ability."

"But my parents are rich, and they even have an alternate account. Maybe they'd be happier if their good-for-nothing eldest son died."

This was the first time he had spoken about his life, but he sounded somewhat disheartened.

"Do the others in the team think the same way?" Du Wang wasn't familiar with the others and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the situation.

Cheng Huo propped his head up with his hands and crossed his legs: "Some people are like me, joining the investigation department mainly because they watched too many superhero movies when they were young."

"I always feel that with greater ability comes greater responsibility."

"Having acquired some extraordinary abilities, I couldn't wait to prove that I wasn't a useless person."

"Another group of people joined because the investigation department makes a lot of money. After all, you know, only through criminal law can you find such a quick way to make money."

"Only a very small number are motivated by a desire to enhance their strength."

"However, reality isn't a cultivation novel. Even if you reach level 4, you still can't withstand an atomic bomb."

Cheng Huo turned to stare at Du Wang: "Of course, the main reason everyone joined the team is because they're afraid of dying."

"Once you become a superhuman, there is no turning back."

At this point, his tone became noticeably pessimistic.

As Cheng Huo said, in a sense, the extraordinary are pitiful creatures who are not in control of themselves.

Once you become the host of your destined spirit, you must constantly participate in events involving the descent of evil spirits.

Prolonged inactivity can weaken one's natal spirit.

In order to survive, the natal spirit will gradually absorb the life force of the extraordinary person until both die.

This is an ironclad rule that has been proven with human lives.

Therefore, it is impossible for extraordinary individuals to hide away and live a carefree life, and they would not even dare to go to sparsely populated places.

Because evil spirits have the characteristic of descending upon densely populated areas.

A moment of silence.

Cheng Huo suddenly laughed: "Hehe, now that you've got your hands on Chou Chang's butt, maybe you can surpass him after one more mission."

When the topic of sorrow came up, Du Wang recalled the bet between the two of them.

Currently, Chouchang is ranked 57th, while he is ranked 60th.

The gap between the two is getting smaller and smaller.

I imagine that Zhou Chang must be under a lot of pressure.

"He just dealt with an incident involving the arrival of evil spirits yesterday," Cheng Huo said. "I heard he proactively asked Captain Chen to increase the frequency of missions, and even had an argument with his teammates about it."

Du Wang understood the unspoken meaning; clearly, his troubled teammate wasn't so concerned about the rankings, but rather about fulfilling his work responsibilities.

"But you don't need to worry about me arguing with you." Cheng Huo punched him in the chest with his fist.

"My experience points are full, it's time to advance to Tier 2, and it's precisely the time when I'm lacking relics."

At this point, he winked: "So if you have any freelance work coming up, you can contact me."

Du Wang laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I definitely won't forget you when I have freelance work."

After finishing their teamwork training, Du Wang walked out of the game area.

He hadn't walked two steps when Professor Zhuang came over and invited him to do an experiment.

As mentioned before, he is the only mutated natal spirit in the official investigation department of Nancheng.

The reason for seeking him out this time is to conduct experiments on my natal spirit and obtain research data.

Du Wang readily agreed to the experiment that would earn him extra funding and followed the professor to the physical testing room.

Located underground in the investigation department, this area covers a full 1,000 square meters and includes a synthetic running track and various sports testing grounds.

Several well-built researchers in uniforms are setting up testing equipment.

When Professor Zhuang and his companion walked over, everyone immediately turned their attention to them.

Du Wang couldn't help but stop in his tracks, because those eyes were like those of wolves and tigers, quite frightening.

"It's alright." Professor Zhuang patted his shoulder with a smile.

"The people in front of you are the most professional researchers in our South City. Each of them has tested at least 30 kinds of natal spirits and personally participated in the on-site investigation of 20 different kinds of demons."

"Each of them is a seasoned veteran with extensive experience, and can accurately test all the extreme data of the innate spirit."

"Extreme data?"

Upon hearing this term, Du Wang suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's begin the test!"

After Professor Zhuang finished speaking, the researchers immediately came over and, without saying a word, pushed Du Wang onto a chair with wheels.

It contains various testing instruments, including heart rate test, blood pressure test, respiration test, body fat test, and so on.

In just a few minutes, Du Wang's wrists, ankles, heart, and nasal cavity were filled with various patches and tubes.

The researchers showed excited expressions as they saw the test subjects strapped in.

Looking at him, you'd think he was a kidnapper.

"Starting the first test: Surveillance Eye!"

The so-called surveillance eye is actually the pupil of the eye, only researchers have given it a more colloquial name.

The test involved placing the Suspended Pupil inside a box with a screen, then closing the box and gradually increasing the distance between Du Wang and the box.

The screen will continuously change its content during the process, and people will constantly ask Du Wang what he is seeing, testing the limit of the suspended pupil's distance.

Meanwhile, we should observe his physical condition to see how long he can hold on.

After 30 minutes of testing, it was finally determined that the maximum distance of the suspended pupil is 120 meters, and the duration it can maintain at the maximum distance is 7 minutes.

After the test was completed, the researchers administered nutritional supplements to him, and after all indicators recovered, they continued to test the next item.

After two and a half hours of this, all the tests were completed.

Du Wang was panting heavily from exhaustion.

Even though he sat in a chair the whole time, he looked as exhausted as if he had participated in a 40-kilometer marathon and had run the entire distance without rest.

While he was frantically eating to replenish his energy, several researchers were standing together nearby, whispering amongst themselves.

"Is this person someone who has had a brain tumor?"

"All their indicators look normal compared to mine!"

"Yes, an ordinary Tier 1 superhuman can only maintain one ability at most, but he was able to maintain three different abilities simultaneously under extreme conditions, and he did it for 5 minutes and 25 seconds!"

"Damn, I've never seen a Tier 1 Transcendent with these stats before."

"Back when Captain Xiao was at level 1, he could only maintain two abilities simultaneously for 5 minutes under extreme conditions."

"How much control did Captain Xiao have at that time?"

80%.

"What is the current level of control that Du Wang is reporting?"

90%.

"Does this match our test results?"

"To be honest, I suspect he's hiding something, and it seems more like he has complete control."

At this point, the researchers looked at each other in bewilderment.

100% control?

Is this... even possible?

Even a fourth-tier superhuman like Captain Xiao only achieved 100% control after reaching the second tier.
