"I've always valued your talent. Based on your life experiences, you should be able to awaken a powerful ability at this moment."

Su Yi has always been the focus of his attention. Xu Chen finally couldn't help but have a talk with this young man with unlimited potential. Some things can only be made clearer by asking in person.

"Not yet. I've tested it before, and I don't seem to have any signs of awakening my superpowers."

But after hearing this answer, Su Yi chose to shake his head and deny it, and then explained again that he had no special abilities.

He would not admit that he had special abilities. Being in school was a challenge for his patience. Many days ago, he decided to hide it until the special forces gave up on him and he was out of their control.

"Oh——" Xu Chen sighed, silently opened the mechanical box in front of him, took out a silver ring-shaped device with a light green rotating orb in the middle, and handed it in front of him.

"This is...."

Looking at what Xu Chen handed over, Su Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he couldn't see the function of this device, he could feel the strong radiation energy emanating from it.

This concentration is already very high, and it is estimated that only people with superpowers can barely bear it. If he remembered correctly, Xu Chen once revealed to Cheng Sanli in a conversation that he was an ordinary person, and he was really not afraid of death to dare to hold this thing directly in his hands.

Staring at the pale green gem, Xu Chen's face became solemn. He held it in his hand and said calmly:

"This is an instrument that can process radiation energy. I call it the 'Nuclear Furnace'. It can enhance the user's affinity for radiation energy and suppress impurities produced by radiation. With this ability, users can absorb more radiation energy to strengthen themselves."

This thing is the result of Xu Chen's hard work over the years. It is unique in the entire Daxia.

Unfortunately, it is still a sophisticated semi-finished product with very poor stability and imperfect impurity filtration.

During the first experiment, the psychic responsible for the test suffered a mental breakdown.

Although there are risks.

However, it might be worth trying to use the radiation energy it stores to promote the awakening of superpowers.

Look at the green ball-shaped object that is spinning in your hand.

Su Yi did not use it. He silently put the nuclear reactor handed to him back into the box. "Mr. Xu, to be honest, I don't have any complaints about my current life. I appreciate your kindness."

"This is a chance to awaken your superpowers. Don't you want to seize it? It might really help you!"

"Some things don't need to be forced."

This answer disappointed Xu Chen. He didn't expect that his first briefing would be met with such a setback.

But the disappointment in his eyes quickly faded away: "To be honest with you, Blue Star is not as safe as you think. Even if you have pending superpowers, you are likely to be targeted."

"Not everyone can remain calm in the face of extraordinary power. There are simply too many people who will do anything for their own personal gain."

"Perhaps you don't know how many powerful and wealthy people have wanted me to explore the secret of immortality by studying the extraordinary powers of people with special abilities in recent years."

“Similar research has never stopped!”

Hearing these threatening words, Su Yi paused as he turned to leave, and glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes: "Then, teacher, do you agree?"

Su Yi was mentally prepared for the chaos in the special forces team, but this was the first time he was told this to his face.

Hearing this, Xu Chen shook his head: "Of course not. My goal is not to make anyone immortal, but to cultivate strong people. I believe that the potential of people with special abilities is far more than that."

This is what he has always adhered to. No matter which side he stands on, he will not give up as long as he can complete this research.

In fact, Xu Chen really wanted to have a chat with the man in black who raided the laboratory that day. The other party had mastered the use of radiation energy to perfection, and he hoped to get some inspiration from him.

He also wanted to cultivate a similar monster through research: "You can think about it carefully, and come to me if you want to gain power."

pat-

The door of the new media classroom was closed by Su Yi.

Just as he expected, there are indeed geniuses among the 70 billion people on Blue Star.

According to the description, the [nuclear reactor] made by Xu Chen has almost the same functions as the reactors used by those mutants in the wasteland.

Fortunately, it is still a semi-finished product, otherwise it would be too terrifying for one person to run through the wasteland for thousands of years.

This guy really has a lot of research on super powers.

But... he found the wrong person. With the protection of the Heart Flame, Su Yi didn't need to rely on such external help.

He has already been given power.

Chapter 73: It’s good to be ordinary

Su Yi hurried back to the classroom. Although he had just rejected Xu Chen's request, from the content of his conversation with him, he understood why this guy was so concerned about him.

Unfortunately, if they were in the wasteland, he would have introduced him to Iffy. That guy really liked people like this who were talented and willing to risk their lives for scientific research.

In comparison, on Blue Star, it is extremely difficult to develop a perfect nuclear reactor. Unless he is given a ready-made sample, it will take hundreds of years to complete it.

Thinking this, he walked back into the classroom and sat back in his seat.

Mu Xiaowei turned around, put her hand on his desk, gently poked his arm and asked curiously: "Su Yi, what did Teacher Xu ask you to do?"

"He, he wants me to awaken my superpowers."

Su Yi glanced towards the window beside him. Apart from the nuclear reactor, he had no reason to hide anything from Xu Chen, so he just told the truth.

Mu Xiaowei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she instantly became alert: "Have you awakened?"

"I don't want to awaken. It's fine to be an ordinary person. Maybe I don't have the talent. Teacher Xu hasn't done it either." Su Yi replied without thinking.

What's the point of awakening? Looking at the current situation, awakening is simply torture. Xu Chen even told himself that someone asked him to use people with special abilities to conduct research on immortality, and it was only a matter of time before he was targeted.

"Yeah, it would be great if there was a way to abolish superpowers..."

Mu Xiaowei lowered her head, supporting her chin with one hand, her long brown hair tilted to the side, and there was a hint of melancholy in her tone.

"Oh? You're a Blue Star-certified S-rank, a living example of magical girl potential. Didn't you show off to me a few days ago about your ability to pick up bread with your bare hands?"

"King Xiaowei, who said he would protect me, lasted less than 48 hours. This is truly the fastest death in history."

This was the first time after Su Yi traveled through time that he heard someone dislike superpowers as much as he did.

The high school students around were more excited than each other about this matter. Someone like Mu Xiaowei who had awakened the space system would actually say this.

Those who don’t know might think that He Cheng is trying to show off by pretending to be uninterested in superpowers. He Cheng likes to do this.

Being teased, Mu Xiaowei raised her head in dissatisfaction and snorted coldly: "No way!"

“I just feel like life has changed a lot…”

Her voice gradually became lower.

There was a hint of sadness in the dark eyes:

"I just think that a simple life is better than now."

In fact, Mu Xiaowei has always known that she is a person who hates change.

She will not be happy about getting a surprise that does not belong to her, and she hates being sad about losing existing people and things.

She doesn't like making friends at school, and most of her relationships are just classmates, because once the word "friend" is defined, it should be a lifelong friendship.

It’s not about simply getting to know each other and saying a few words to become friends.

Instead of awakening some amazing superpowers, she would rather rely on her own efforts to get into a good university.

Have a sweet love in college and experience the feeling of sitting on a bicycle with your boyfriend in your arms as shown in TV dramas.

What after graduation?

Just find a job that interests you, preferably one that is not too busy and has some free time.

Once things settle down a bit, marry the person you love, and then you can unlock the title of "baby".

After marriage, you can dress up your baby well.

Finally, grow old together.

This kind of life is enough...

The sun was shining outside the window. Mu Xiaowei held her cheek with her hand. Her mood was so unstable that it was revealed between her brows and turned into a bit of softness. She couldn't help but smile.

She reached out and rubbed the light brown hair beside her cheek. She secretly raised her eyes to glance at Su Yi, but unfortunately the boy's eyes were not on her. Instead, he was looking out the window with interest.

"What are you looking at so seriously?"

Mu Xiaowei also looked out the window and saw a military off-road vehicle slowly driving into the school gate. It was not stopped by the special forces and just stopped downstairs.

"As expected, boys prefer to pay attention to this kind of thing."

She complained softly, but in her heart she murmured:

"Should we learn some military knowledge later? Then we might have more topics to talk about with Su Yi."

But the girl didn't expect it.

At this time, Su Yi's attention was indeed attracted by the military off-road vehicle, but his eyes were on the passengers on it.

Two old men got off the car. One of them was Li Chengyuan, who was only wearing a plain white jacket and holding the Chixiao Sword. Next to him was an old man in British clothes. He was dressed very formally and looked very energetic.

This was the first time he saw Mr. Li come to school.

Su Yi was very curious about what the other party was here for, but Li Chengyuan could see through Luo Lixi's invisibility, so it was not convenient to send her to gather information.

.......

Principal's room.

Wisps of white mist drifted away, fragrant tea was placed on the table, and the warm sunshine shone into the house, bringing a touch of warmth.

Li Chengyuan and Xidai sat on the same sofa, facing the visitor in front of them.

Several people drank tea with each other.

It didn't take long.

Li Chengyuan, holding a sword and stroking his white beard, took the lead in speaking. His old eyes and brows were filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation. He chatted with the person next to him with his hands behind his back.

"Yan Sheng, how come you seem younger and younger after not seeing you for so many years? I've been practicing swordsmanship for years without slacking off, but I don't look half as skilled as you. I remember you're only three years younger than me."

"I haven't heard from you since you left the special forces. I never thought you'd end up in the military. I thought you hated military personnel the most."

The old man sighed as he spoke. His body had long been hunched over. Even though he was much stronger than his peers, he still looked old.

"Hahaha, no way, no way. They are all people with old injuries, how can they talk about youth?"

Zhong Yansheng chuckled twice, looked at his good friend from many years ago and the Chixiao Sword in his hand with a pleasant expression, and narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

"When Xidai said you were coming, I was a little surprised."

"This time, I happen to have the opportunity to serve as Xidai's acting principal for a few days, responsible for the affairs of Los Angeles' superpowered people. However, my coming here also means Xidai should leave. This time, the military has issued a death order."

"You don't intend to delay."

Zhong Yansheng didn't delay any further and went straight to the point. He took out the emergency transfer order in his hand, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of the two people opposite him.

Looking at the second document, Xidai's face was solemn. He reached out, placed his cane on the corner of the table, and picked it up.

What was supposed to come finally came. The tone of this transfer order was stricter than the last time. It seemed that he had to return to the center.

Although Zhong Yansheng was a former member of the special forces and his predecessor, he had indeed retired. He was still worried about handing over the work at hand to outsiders, so he had to make some preparations.

"Mr. Zhong, you are a senior, so I shouldn't say much. However, foreign forces have been very arrogant recently, and I'm afraid that with your experience, you won't be able to handle it. So, let Mr. Li live in the school and serve as vice principal. You two are old friends, so I believe there's no need to talk about your tacit understanding."

Xidai said flatteringly, his eyes always fixed on the old man in front of him who was dressed in British clothes.

In order to maintain stability during his absence, he has given Lie Chengzhuo a strict order that before he returns, all students will switch from day students to boarding students, and the special forces will remain on standby and not be allowed to leave the high school no matter what happens.

In addition, with Mr. Li personally stationed there and multiple parties supervising, it shouldn't be a problem even if the leader is changed.

As for the fact that Xidai went to the center alone, he was not that worried. No one could attack him there.

After all, the Valkyrie of Da Xia stands on the side of the special forces and their superpowers.

Although the other party's whereabouts are uncertain and his thoughts are hard to understand.

But there is no doubt that in a sense, it is because of her appearance that peace has been maintained over the years.

He had originally thought that Zhong Yansheng would have some other ideas or be dissatisfied, but to his surprise, the old man agreed immediately: "This is your arrangement. As long as it ensures stability, there is nothing wrong with it. Old Li and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to play chess."

"The military generally supports the special forces. As someone who used to be a special forces member, I naturally hope for new blood."

Zhong Yansheng showed great kindness and support, and this attitude eased the situation a lot.

But after raising his teacup and taking a sip, the old man seemed to nod at the table unintentionally.

"Of course I still need to understand the situation here. I heard that you have found a group of people with special abilities. Can you let me see the list and their awakened special abilities..."
