Chapter 52: Increase In Resources
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The elder professor was the only one speaking. However, he was not the only one who was surprised. Chief Shi, Colonel Zhang, and the others all looked at Lin Yao in astonishment.
As a result, Lin Yao was very calm.
“My advancement this time was caused by the talent advancement driven by the advancement to the level of martial artists.”
“I see that you have advanced to a martial artist. It is no wonder this advancement occurred. One’s talent is closely related to one’s body. No matter how powerful your talent is, you will need a good body to use it. It is normal for talent to advance due to an advancement to a martial artist.”
Lin Yao’s performance had been very outstanding last time, and everyone had been very impressed with him. There was no need to explain his previous abilities. Some people began to ask about Lin Yao’s advancement.
“Can you absorb owned energy, or do you have other attributes?”
“There are other attributes.”
Then, without needing the others to ask more questions, Lin Yao lifted his fingers and flicked his hair casually. The friction between his palm and hair made an electric light burst from between his fingers.
Buzz, buzz.
The flashing electric light drew the researchers’ attention, but Chief Shi laughed.
“This move is very cool.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ahem… Well, my ability has just awakened, so it is still very weak. I can only create electricity through friction. That is not intentional.”
“Okay, there is no need to explain further. That move was really good… By the way, which school are you studying at? I have a niece who is not a talented person but has a talent in martial arts. You could work together in the future…”
Cough…
It was not Lin Yao who had coughed this time. Instead, the agent who had been sent from the armed police force felt uncomfortable with Chief Shi’s effort to get Lin Yao to work with her niece.
“If you’ve caught a cold, you shouldn’t go out. It would not be good if you infected others.”
The agent was at a loss for words after Chief Shi’s counterattack. This was the geniuses’ territory, and Chief Shi called the shots here. Although the armed police force in the city had power, they had only sent an agent here.
Fortunately, at that moment, the gray-haired professor spoke up.
“The first talent you have is the light ability, and your second talent is thunder and lightning. All your awakened talents are rare abilities. If the third awakened talent is a spatial ability, you will exceed the diamond potential and have king potential.”
Among the many attributes, space and time were of the greatest strategic significance to the country. Space was easy to understand. Due to the monsters and some unknown horrors, the cities on Earth were actually scattered, and communication was not easy. The city next to Ninghai City had been breached for this reason.
However, everything would be different with a spatial ability. When people with spatial abilities grew up, they could open the space door, and the army of martial artists in China would be able to shuttle around the country without any obstacles while protecting the people. Therefore, a spatial ability was the most important ability for the country. People with such an ability would be rewarded with resources at the king level.
As for the time ability, being able to foresee danger would help the country prepare in advance. This was definitely a king-level ability.
Lin Yao’s eyes lit up when he heard the mention of resources at the king level. However, soon, the professor shook his head and said, “It’s a pity that space is different from other abilities. Although light, darkness, and ice are different from the basic elements, they belong to elemental abilities, while space and time belong to abnormal abilities. There is no way to awaken them.”
‘No, as long as you give me branches of the Space Tree, I will be able to awaken that ability.’
Lin Yao thought to himself. Of course, he would not say that out loud. The ability to plant trees was his biggest secret. Although he trusted the country, there was no vermin in that place. It was better to have a hidden trump card.
Pushing aside those thoughts, Lin Yao spoke up. “Professor, I remember you saying that when I awakened the second ability, I could have a confirmed gold rating.”
“Yes, your current aptitude is at the gold level, and it will be tentatively named the Almighty Great Spiritualist. Its characteristics are absorbing unowned energy and awakening various talents. Now, you have awakened the light and thunder abilities.” action
After he said that, the professor sighed over Lin Yao’s luck again.
“Out of the four special abilities of light, thunder, darkness, and ice, having the light and thunder abilities would allow one to get a higher level of subsidies. You have them all.”
“Is it due to Project Thunder God that I get a higher level of subsidies?”
“It seems that you are very clear about this. Yes, it is due to Project Thunder God. This is a project that the country has studied for decades, hoping that everyone could succeed tremendously. Unfortunately, it has failed, although it was completed using all the resources of the country. Even though it failed, parts of the project that have succeeded have also paved the road for people with the thunder ability.”
The elder professor smiled upon seeing the excitement in Lin Yao’s eyes. “I guess you want to take the first step in the development of the thunder ability and unlock the gene lock with neuro-electricity.”
“Yes.”
Lin Yao nodded upon hearing the elder professor’s remarks. However, everyone had a weird expression on their faces.
Chief Shi even gently patted Lin Yao’s shoulder as she spoke. “You… must not take it too seriously. It is not shameful to fail.”
“Just do your best.”
“I wish you all the best.”
Lin Yao’s expression changed slightly as he heard these comforting words. He could no longer maintain his calm and joyful expression when Colonel Zhang, who had always been cold and stern, comforted him as well.
“Is there a problem with the development of neuro-electricity in the human body?”
“There is no serious problem. As long as you can persist, you will quickly gain strength. By the way, we have the equipment for neuro-electricity development in Ninghai City. I am a professor of the Superpower Development Team.”
While the gray-haired professor talked about neuro-electricity and others offered words of comfort, Lin Yao could not help but get a sense of foreboding.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Professor, don’t tell me your surname is Yang?”
“No, my surname is Li. Do you have anything against the surname Yang?”
“I have nothing against the surname Yang. However, I have something against people with the surname Yang who are involved in neuro-electricity and claim to be professors.”
“What the hell?” Professor Li obviously did not understand what Lin Yao was referring to, but he quickly stopped thinking about that. “Forget it, come to my research office tomorrow and I will guide the development of your thunder ability. You can get the day off tomorrow.”
“Get the day off? Do we need an entire day?”
“Of course, you can’t possibly think that all we need is to pass some current to develop your thunder ability? It is not that simple. Remember, there is no easy way to obtain an ability.”
After speaking, Professor Li called and contacted the research site on the spot, getting ready to bring Lin Yao with him to develop his abilities.
As for Lin Yao, he looked expectantly at the personnel from the government and the city.
They all noticed the expression in Lin Yao’s eyes. They laughed and dished out thrilling benefits.
“You have awakened the thunder potential, and this ability has been assessed to be at the gold level. Your talent will be temporarily named Almighty Spiritualist. Your advantage is having a variety of abilities and being able to handle many situations. For such a genius, the state subsidy is 30 bottles of nutrition drinks per month, a financial reward of 30,000 yuan, one diamond technique, and three opportunities to apply for gold resources. At the same time, you can get 1,000 grams of energy crystals of suitable attributes every month. I hope you will work hard to develop your talents and live up to the country’s expectations.”
“I will. I also wish to protect my family.”
He had already been given a lot of gold subsidies. He wondered whether this was fortunate or unfortunate. There were not many gold talented people in the entire country of China. Hence, they could still afford to provide subsidies for these talented people.
Besides, if the country nurtured and groomed people with gold talent, they could protect the people and expand to more territories.
After the Spirit Energy Revival, other than the humans and animals in nature who had mutated, there were also countless mystic realms that were linked to the human world. There were dangers everywhere, yet there were endless resources as well. Right now, the people on the Blue Planet no longer needed to worry about the scarcity of resources. However, without sufficient abilities, there was no way to extract the large amount of resources in the wild. Therefore, the country needed powerful figures.
Talented people could easily become powerful figures. That was why the country would give them strong support.
However, the country was very large and there were many geniuses. Although the government was providing him with decent support, Lin Yao was more interested in the subsidies provided by the city.
