"..."
There was no secret base, nor any mysterious elevator leading to the underground. Su Su didn't even see any decent security. The two of them just kept moving forward under the slightly curious gazes of the staff who passed by from time to time, and went straight to what the driver called the "last part."
An office located on the fifth floor of an office building.
Then I knocked on the door and pushed it open. I saw two staff members chatting inside. They looked relaxed and free and had nothing to do...
The two people in the room were obviously familiar with the driver. After seeing the driver leading someone back, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly entered the working state. They returned to their respective seats and sat down seriously. After communicating with the driver to confirm that Su Su was the "alien" who came to register, they turned and looked at Su Su.
"Hello, Mr. Su, right? Welcome, welcome. We have already preliminarily registered your information, but there are still some things that need you to complete. Please sit over there and fill out the information form... The blanks here are not required, but the more complete your filling, the more subsidies you will receive in the future..."
"Of course, based on what we know, Mr. Su, you should be a diffuse mutant, so there are relevant behavioral restrictions for mutants like you. For details, you can refer to the "Draft Implementation Measures for the Management of Aliens (Third Edition)" attached to the form. This is the management regulations for mutants that were just updated this year..."
There is no doubt that the completely different attitudes towards people with super powers between China and Japan made Su Su inevitably confused for a while.
From my own observations and the information I got from Ms. Uchida, Japan seems to attach great importance to people with super powers, and even considers them as one of the key factors in the power struggle. Both the cabinet and the police force are trying to scramble for people with super powers, but here in Japan...
Why does it feel like a martial arts master who knows martial arts needs to register?
Moreover, the department that manages people with super powers is the "Martial Arts Sports Management Center." Does that mean that people with super powers are really regarded as martial arts masters in the country?
However, when I just left the terminal, I noticed so many people secretly following me, which means that I am still taken seriously, so...
What is going on?
What is the situation of the extraordinary people in the country?
Or is it that there are actually no truly powerful extraordinary people in the country?
Following the staff's instructions, he sat down at the table and looked at the thick stack of documents with dozens of pages handed over by the other party. Su Su took a deep breath, then took the document and read it carefully - perhaps there will be an answer in this document...
......
......
"Aliens", or people with super powers, began to appear about forty years ago.
The cause is still unknown, as if they were chosen by God. Many people suddenly possessed all kinds of magical powers overnight. These lucky ones who were chosen did not know where these abilities came from or what the principles were, but they could freely manipulate and use these magical powers instinctively.
It has to be said that in the beginning, these extraordinary people actually caused quite a bit of harm. After all, as the saying goes, "With a sharp weapon in mind, the desire to kill comes naturally." If you have a hammer in your hand, everyone looks like a nail. When an ordinary person suddenly possesses superpowers, the resentment he suffers in his daily life can easily turn into violent venting.
Therefore, during that period of time, "superpower crimes" emerged one after another, causing considerable trouble to public security. Even more than that, in the beginning, the superpower people would actually conceal their abilities and deliberately not reveal their identities, but as time went on, after the first superpower person publicly revealed his abilities and gained a large number of fans, more and more superpower people began to not hesitate to reveal their superpower identities.
In the end, even some people without super powers would pretend to be super powers to gain fame and status, and "super powers" quickly spread throughout the country, triggering a nationwide craze...
It sounds incredible, right? You might even wonder if it's a timeline jump, or a parallel universe?
In fact, when "superpower" is renamed, it doesn't seem so abrupt - "qigong".
In the 1980s and 1990s, a "qigong fever" swept across the country. From the leaders of the Qigong University to the ordinary people, everyone was fanatically believing in "qigong". They met with qigong reporting groups, established qigong scientific research associations, established qigong societies, and invited qigong masters to help put out forest fires...
It can be said that in just ten years, "Qigong", which should be something illusory in theory, has been sought after by people all over the country, and correspondingly, those "Qigong masters" have also become popular.
These Qigong masters go in and out of high-end places, publicly perform the magical "Qigong", have a large number of celebrity fans, and the best among them are even guests of honor of some big leaders, and have social prestige that ordinary people cannot achieve...
Su Su was born at the end of the craze. Although he did not experience that era personally, he had heard about it. Sometimes, when he saw relevant information, he would guess that although the fraudulent qigong masters at that time did not know qigong, they were definitely masters of magic, and their magic techniques were absolutely exquisite.
Otherwise, how could he have deceived so many people?
And now it seems...
Maybe there are some swindlers among those Qigong masters, but what is certain is that there are definitely people with super powers who are involved!
It can even be said that it is these "aliens" who truly possess superpowers that provide a breeding ground for fraudulent qigong masters. The truth among ten falsehoods and one truth makes people believe it even more!
However, this craze finally ended with a bang after lasting for more than ten years. As for the reasons... Firstly, with the passage of time, relevant management measures for "talented people" were introduced, and everything began to be standardized. Secondly, the current situation in Japan can actually explain some of the reasons.
Cult.
Qigong - or the personality cult caused by super powers, is an excellent breeding ground for cults. Unlike Japan, which has a relatively permissive attitude towards cults, China has severely cracked down on them, not to mention that at the end of the qigong craze, a cult like the wheel was born.
Therefore, with the release of the "Draft Implementation Measures for the Management of Extraordinary People (First Edition)", a large number of talented people were investigated and registered, fake masters were brought to justice, and the qigong fever was gradually eliminated under the deliberate containment of the state, and eventually evolved into what it is now, where talented people have been stripped of their "divine" shells and registered as folk martial artists.
But of course, unlike ordinary martial artists, no matter what their "profession" is, as long as they register, they are at the Tianji realm - well... the martial arts association's rank division, the seventh rank master...
And if the alien's "profession" is combat-related, it can be upgraded to the eighth level of Tianxuan realm or even the ninth level of Tianshu realm as appropriate!
As for what the staff said about the "diffusion-type mutants" Su Su mentioned, there is a clear explanation in the notes attached to the document. The so-called "diffusion-type mutants" actually refer to mutants who have the ability to "enable others to obtain/temporarily obtain superpowers", such as a [blacksmith] who can create super equipment, a [pharmacist] who can make super potions, etc.
This type of extraordinary person will be the focus of attention - but that's all.
Perhaps it was because the documents the staff gave Su Su contained only information that was not confidential, so Su Su did not see any deterrent clauses against super-powered people above the second level in these documents. It seemed that the country had never considered that super-powered people above the second level could ignore the capabilities of small-caliber pistols.
Or......
There are no high-level extraordinary people in the country, so we don’t know the strength of high-level extraordinary people?
No, that's definitely not the case. After all, some extraordinary people, even if they are not very powerful, have abilities that are equally magical and useful, just like the ability of Su Su, the [Slut], so...
After reading the document, he stared at it and pondered for a while. Finally, Su Su hesitated for a moment, and then began to fill out the form quickly. However, in the column for his occupation, Su Su filled in [Blacksmith] and ticked the box behind the diffusion-type alien.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Su, if you don't want to fill in your occupation, you don't have to fill it in. But please don't make one up randomly. The occupation of an alien is unique, and there is only one person for any occupation..."
Perhaps because they saw Su Su writing so quickly, the staff member who was waiting quietly on the side reminded him, but Su Su just nodded after pausing his pen slightly, and then continued to fill in the form quickly.
Is there only one person in a profession?
This is new information. If Su Su relied on himself alone, it would probably be difficult to obtain this kind of information. After all, it requires a large amount of data to be summarized before it can be observed... But this is actually a good thing, because Su Su filled in [Blacksmith].
If the fact that there is only one profession is true, then there is only one "Blacksmith", that is the extraordinary companion of Hanayama En and Miss Uchida, and he has now died of old age.
So unless a new profession is born after the death of a profession, Su Su's [Blacksmith] is the only one - or, each country has its own independent set of statistical standards?
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's always a good idea to take the Japanese "Blacksmith" quota first...
The reason why he filled this in was because Su Su felt that he could not hide his performance in Japan - looking at the form in his hand, he knew that a lot of information had already been filled in, and he only needed to fill in the missing parts.
This clearly means that the country has already mastered a lot of my information, so based on my performance, the profession of [Blacksmith] is very appropriate.
only......
Su Su always felt that the management of extraordinary people in the country should not be so lax...
187. Strange ritual?
It didn't take too long to fill out the form, but it took Su Su nearly an hour to look through the attached documents. During this process, the driver quietly left at some point, and one of the two staff members in the office also left, leaving only one person waiting patiently for Su Su.
It was not until Su Su had finished looking through the information and carefully filled out the form that the staff member took Su Su's form with extra patience. Without even looking at it, he simply put the form in the drawer of the desk and nodded at Su Su with a smile.
"Okay, I'm glad that Mr. Su Su has approved and signed this agreement, but I still want to remind you that since you have approved and signed this agreement, it means that you have recognized and agreed to the binding regulations on talented people in the agreement. After signing, you are obliged and must abide by these laws and regulations. If you violate the Draft Implementation Measures for the Management of Talented People, you will be held legally responsible."
“This agreement does not contain any ambiguous clauses. All the clauses have been openly and transparently presented to you. So I want to confirm with you one last time whether you have signed this agreement voluntarily and abide by the contents of the agreement after fully understanding its contents.”
"..."
Seeing the smiling staff staring at me, I instinctively felt guilty (strangely, I filled out a registration form myself). Why did I have to make it so... weird?
And why does it seem like there's more to this sentence?
However, if the agreement does not contain any hidden clauses and all the clauses are open and transparent, then Su Su will indeed abide by it - after all, it is just a document that imposes some additional restrictions on super-powered people on the basis of current laws.
For example, one may not use super powers to make illegal profits, may not use super powers to harm or force ordinary people, may not engage in illegal missionary work, and should try to avoid exposing and promoting one's super powers in public... It can be said that as long as one does not intend to use super powers to break the law, then these clauses will not cause any harm to normal life.
As a good citizen who has abided by the law for decades in a foreign country, Su Su is naturally very happy to be a legal citizen in China.
As for what Su Su did in Japan, to some extent, it has violated this management method...
Doesn't Japan have such a rule?
Of course, if we talk about the law, there is definitely a lot to say, such as territorial jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction, but...what stupid person would do such a thing?
Japan doesn't care, so you go all the way there and say to a powerful supernatural being, "Although you are in Japan, you have violated domestic laws, and I have to deal with you"?
"...If this regulation is exactly as it is written without any tricks or hidden details, then I can approve it."
Of course, although Su Su felt that he didn't need to care too much about this thing, he still chose to be cautious. Then Su Su saw the staff in the office nodded with relief.
"Of course there is nothing fishy about it. This is not a contract, but a law related to aliens...Okay, since Mr. Su agrees, the registration is complete. Next, please come with me to collect your alien subsidy...Oh, theoretically, this subsidy is paid out once a month, but considering that you may not stay in the country for a long time in the future, you can also choose to receive it quarterly or annually."
"Or, you can choose to exchange this subsidy for an equal amount of money and then directly deposit it into your account - but few aliens would choose to exchange subsidies for money. You will know the details if you follow me..."
"..."
After getting Su Su's confirmation, the staff became obviously more enthusiastic, as if Su Su had instantly gained trust and recognition with just a verbal promise. Then, looking at Su Su who seemed still a little confused, the staff did not explain much, but enthusiastically took Su Su to "receive the subsidy."
only......
Su Su frowned secretly and looked at the staff who became particularly enthusiastic in front of him. He still instinctively felt that something was wrong.
After all, whether it was the strange signing of the document and the repeated confirmation, or the hasty approval of his behavior, it all made Su Su feel very abrupt, as if...
My signature and verbal confirmation seemed like a ritual that allowed me to be trusted?
for example......
For some reason, Su Su suddenly thought of his engraving skills.
Because in the days before returning home, Su Su also left his mark on many knights. For Su Su, he didn't care whether the knight's attitude towards him was good or bad. As long as the mark was left, in Su Su's view, the knight could be monitored and controlled by him, so...
Would it be possible that in the eyes of those knights, I would be just like the staff member in front of me, and would inexplicably begin to accept and trust them?
No, my behavior should not be so abrupt. After all, on the surface, those knights are distinguished guests who have paid me a large sum of money. It is understandable that I am more enthusiastic. The staff member in front of me seems patient and enthusiastic, but if we consider the disinfection, it is obviously a bit clumsy and perfunctory.
So, I actually completed a ritual similar to leaving a mark on myself without realizing it?
Following the staff's footsteps, Su Su sighed softly in his heart, then looked at the staff who was walking in front and leading the way.
After noticing the footsteps behind him stopped, the staff member looked back at Su Su with a little confusion, and then asked softly.
"What's the matter, Mr. Su Su, do you have any questions?"
"...No, not really. I'm just a little curious about what the subsidy is and why so many people are reluctant to exchange it for money."
"It's better for you to see it in person. It's not very useful to ordinary people like us, but it seems to be very popular for extraordinary people like you..."
The staff did not doubt Su Su's pause too much, and Su Su obviously did not intend to ask directly. After dealing with it, Su Su continued to keep up with the staff, but secretly reminded himself in his heart.
It seems that I have to find a way to see if there is something inexplicable on my body... Although I think that the motherland will not do something weird to drive out someone like me who is considered a supernatural being, Su Su is not willing to accept even a marking behavior like engraving.
After all, what I want to do is not suitable for exposure...
188. I am actually... a demon?
Quite unexpectedly, after receiving his "alien subsidy", Su Su immediately understood why no alien would choose to exchange this thing for money.
Because this thing...
【Double Experience Pill】
After use, you will get 24 hours of double experience time. During this period, all actions that can gain experience points will provide you with 200% of the experience points of your profession.
(This medicine is made by [Double Experience Recipient], and has a shelf life of 365 days)
"Double experience recipient, how do you describe this profession..."
Looking at the box of twelve red hawthorn pills in his hand, each of which was only slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball, Su Su took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the extraordinary people in the country might be much more sophisticated than he had imagined.
Just relying on this thing, wouldn't it be possible to accumulate a lot of high-level extraordinary people?
Oh, that’s not right, Hua Jianyuan said that second-level transcendents before level 20 can still rely on level accumulation, but to break through level 20 and become a high-level transcendent, some unique achievements are required.
Su Su estimated that these achievements were definitely not obtained casually, but considering the information he saw when signing the documents before, Su Su felt that the "supernatural craze" of that year would definitely produce one or two supernatural people who were capable of advancing to a higher level.
In other words, as long as there are enough channels to obtain experience points, then with the help of this thing, domestic extraordinary people will only be stuck at the threshold, and as for the accumulation process in the middle, they will be far ahead!
There might even be many "Level 3 Great Perfection" and "Level 2 Great Perfection" extraordinary people hidden in the country right now, and the reason why I am not taken too seriously is precisely because my level 11 is not taken seriously at all...
hiss......
When I think about it this way, why do I feel the sense of crisis that has disappeared for a long time suddenly surge up again?
But speaking of it, Su Su actually still doesn't know the process of gaining experience points for people like Huajianyuan, Ms. Uchida, and Shino Asada.
Of course, the first and most basic thing is to level up by killing monsters. This has been confirmed. The reason why Huajianyuan has such a high level of twenty-two is because she has killed several naturally born "demons", but other than that, she seems to have no other way to gain experience. She can only increase her level naturally little by little over time.
The same is true for Ms. Uchida, but both Ms. Uchida and Hanayama have been extraordinary for more than 15 years. Ms. Uchida is only level 22, while Hanayama is level . This shows that naturally increasing experience is an extremely inefficient way.
But "demons" are obviously an extremely rare existence. Not to mention that Huajianyuan only found a handful of them after searching all over the country, all the "demons" that Su Su had encountered in Japan so far that could provide experience were essentially just created by his potions. He had never seen a real demon at all.
unless......
Su Su had actually always had this bold guess, but he just didn't dare to confirm it, that is...
Hua Jianyuan once mistook Su Su for a "demon" on the day when Su Su awakened his profession, so could it be that... she didn't mistake him at all?
In fact, Su Su awakened and became a "demon"? !
