...Maybe this matter needs to be discussed slowly.
Jiang Shao and Nate reached a consensus in silence, and now they should change the topic.
"Are we going to have to wait in line for a long time?" Jiang Yan asked.
"It'll probably take a while." Nate looked ahead and saw that they were almost at the end of the line.
So the three of them changed some topics and no one talked about the art anymore.
…
"Please stretch out your arms." Jiang Yan finally arrived at the checkpoint. The situation here looked like an ordinary hospital physical examination.
Jiang Yan then stretched out his arm. The girl in charge of drawing blood sterilized him, took out the needle, and pricked Jiang Yan's arm.
It turned out that the needle broke on the outside of the skin of the arm and did not hurt her at all.
Of course, this uninjured scene only exists in Jiang Yan's imagination.
The needle still penetrated without any obstruction.
Jiang Yan has actually been thinking about his physical abilities. His powerful strength, excellent speed, etc. are all close to those of superheroes on Earth.
So in fact, he has always been curious about whether he can fly, and whether he is invulnerable...
Now at least it has been proven that he is still prone to injury. So I guess he can no longer be a Thunder figure or a super player.
Although he doesn't want the locked-door wisdom...but being a superhero is fun, isn't it?
After all, he has always been a nobody.
After a while, the blood drawing was completed. The next process was no different from the usual physical examination. In addition, everyone took an X-ray and checked whether there were any mineral crystals on the body surface (this process is separate for men and women).
Check to see if anyone has mineral sickness.
Next, those who need to participate in the afternoon Originium skill test gather in this area and wait to receive the order number for the afternoon test.
It seems that people with magic talents are less than one-tenth of the total number of people. Only a few people.
Jiang Yan also participated in the test according to Razer's instructions, and the number he received was the last one.
The time comes in the afternoon.
Nate got the first number. He said goodbye to Jiang Yan and entered the room.
And then Nate never came out, literally.
Watching the people who were being tested go in and come out one by one, Jiang Shao couldn't help but worry - what happened to Brother Xiao Ma? Did he die inside?
Finally, there was still one person left and it was Jiang Yan's turn. The girl in front of him walked in confidently, so Jiang Yan was the only autistic person in the corridor.
A few minutes later, Jiang Yan suddenly felt a strong sense of discomfort, felt dizzy, and almost vomited.
Just when he was wondering why he felt suddenly uncomfortable, the sound of vomiting came from the room.
Am I not the only one? Jiang Yan is a little confused. What is going on?
After a while, the girl walked out first. For some reason, she had a victorious smile on her face.
Then, Nate came out. He still looked a little uncomfortable. He greeted Jiang Shao and told him to go in later.
After some time, a call came from inside.
Unexpectedly, there were all old acquaintances inside, including Connor, Razer, Franka, and the little brother who was waiting in the lobby to guide Jiang Yan.
Although it was inappropriate to ask, Jiang Yan was still very curious.
"Why did Nate bring it in for so long? Why did someone vomit just now?"
"...These two questions can be answered together." The guy who led the way looked a little ugly.
"Nate's declared skills are magic healing and stabilization... We tested the treatment, and regarding stabilization, Nate's explanation was that it can alleviate abnormal mental states of people within a certain range, such as fear and anger.
"So we plan to put his ability behind and test it with others."
He sighed: "Yes, she is the girl in front of you."
"Her spell is... to generate infrasound waves."
Jiang Yan was even more confused, "Generate infrasound waves?" What kind of weird skill is this?
The little brother continued to explain: "The specific effect is just like what you just felt. It will bring strong discomfort to the creatures within the range."
"However, she herself has no way to avoid this discomfort. Therefore, the application of her abilities is limited to this extent, and she cannot perform actions such as killing or breaking through walls."
"We kept Nate here just to use his magic to restore this discomfort after this."
I see. Jiang Yan thought of the sound of vomiting just now and asked:
"So, it was the girl who vomited just now?"
...The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
"What's wrong."
The younger brother coughed twice. "It turns out that physical discomfort and abnormal mental state are not the same thing. Nate has no way to relieve this discomfort.
"So next...
Jiang Yan interrupted him: "So it was actually you who vomited, right?"
"...Have your family ever told you that you can't speak well?" The younger brother's face turned a little dark.
"So you vomited?" Jiang Yan obviously didn't care about this matter and continued to ask.
"...It's me and Nate who vomited, okay?" The little brother rolled his eyes, thinking it was a miracle that Jiang Yan could grow up to be so old without being beaten to death.
Jiang Yan didn't care what he thought, he said with disdain: "You are so talented, you can't even compare with girls."
"It's not that we can't hold it in as she can, it's that we're not as cruel as her." Thinking of this, a black line appeared on the boy's head.
"She held it back."
This time it was Jiang Yan's turn to be dumbfounded: "What?"
"When Nate and I vomited it out, she held it back. Then she laughed and said it was the first time she hadn't vomited it out first."
...I was dumbfounded.
In the end, Razer came to the rescue.
"Let's get down to business." Razer took out a box and opened it. Lying quietly inside was a black translucent crystal cut into a diamond shape.
Source Stone.
After several days of study, even Jiang Yan could recognize this thing at a glance.
"Generally speaking, the governments of most countries and regions will conduct universal Originium skill talent tests for citizens during the period of universal education."
I don’t know why, but when she said this, Razer’s expression seemed a little lonely, and then she said:
"But due to the lack of information on you and the symptoms of amnesia, we no longer have information about your Origin Stone skills. So we need to start the test from scratch.
"Here is a Victorian standard source stone for testing. The damage it causes to people and the intensity of the spells it can trigger are all within a controllable range.
"We will use this source stone to test you next, so don't worry, it will not cause any harm to you or us."
Then Razer put the box aside, and Franka took out a few pieces of paper.
"Here are some test results and reports on your physical condition. Before starting, I feel it is necessary to let you know your physical condition - after all, I guess you didn't know what your 'relationship' with the Origin Stone was before.
"
Franka blinked and said:
"The overall health status is good, and the muscle strength is slightly weaker within the same weight range, but it will not have any impact.
"There was no illness or infection and no obvious signs of injury.
"According to the examination, there are no Originium crystals on the body surface or in the body. At this stage, it can be determined that the person is not infected with oriosis."
Franka paused and continued: "This is an almost perfect examination report. Congratulations, you are healthy."
Jiang Yan felt that the fox's intervention might not be that simple: "Is there a 'but'?"
Franka smiled, "But."
“There is such an interesting value in the inspection report.
"The crystal density of blood origin stone is 0.03u/L. This value can be regarded as... abnormally low.
"It seems that you have never removed the Origin Stone and Origin Stone products, and you have been living in an area without any Origin Stone technology or spells. Only in this way can you explain why the blood Origin Stone crystal density in your body is so low.
"However, this conflicts with the intelligence we currently have."
Jiang Yan knew what she wanted to say: "Because the origin stone industries in Colombia and Victoria are both very developed."
Franka nodded and smiled, this was the point of conflict.
"...This is really interesting." The guy who led the way nodded, looking thoughtful.
Then he laughed again: "But what does this have to do with our test today? I think we should start as soon as possible."
Razer nodded in agreement, took out the test source stone, came to Jiang Yan, and motioned for him to hold the source stone.
"Now you can slowly become familiar with this source stone, through touch and...intuition. Feel its shape and everything, and then feel a special sense of your body."
Jiang Yan held the Origin Stone, closed his eyes, and began to feel the Origin Stone according to the method described by Razer.
Jiang Yan had learned meditation when he was still on Earth, so he simply crossed his legs on the ground, entered samadhi according to the meditation method, and began to feel the stone.
This process seems very long, sometimes very short. The perception of time in a meditative state is unreliable. Jiang Yan knows this very well.
Only the feeling of the outside world and self is beyond the ordinary.
How long has passed? I don’t know, and it doesn’t matter.
The important thing is that Jiang Yan finally felt what Razer called "a different body feeling" brought by the Origin Stone.
The Source Stone seemed to emit a wave-like energy in his hand, which gave him a sense of rhythm and temperature, and... there seemed to be a kind of energy in his body, and the Source Stone echoed each other.
This feeling is weak and subtle. It seems to be similar to the energy of the Source Stone, but it also seems to be completely different.
This energy slowly gushes out of Jiang Yan's body under the guidance of the Source Stone.
"How are you feeling?" came Razer's concerned voice. Jiang Yan was not in a hurry to speak, he was going to slowly leave the state of meditation first.
He opened his eyes.
Then he saw Razer's surprised expression for a moment.
"Connor!" Razer called back. Then Jiang Yan felt a calm energy approaching with steady footsteps.
Then Connor appeared in front of him. His expression was also a little surprised.
"...Do you know what you look like now, kid?" Connor asked. When Jiang Shao shook his head, Connor asked, "Does anyone have a mirror?"
Razer shook his head. Franka threw a small round mirror over. Jiang Yan took it and put it in front of his face.
His eyes took on a strange red color.
"How are you feeling now?" Connor asked.
Jiang Yan felt it: "It's nothing special... it's just that the perception seems to have become stronger."
Hearing this, Connor took out a coin from his pocket: "Did you see it clearly?"
Seeing Jiang Yan nodding, he tossed the coin up and said, "Try to catch it with two fingers."
The rising and falling speed of the coin seemed to be slowed down several times in Jiang Yan's eyes. He could even see the flip of the coin clearly, and at this time his movements seemed to be slowed down. In the end, he successfully picked up the coin.
Lived coins.
Use your thumb and index finger.
"Physical ability-enhancing spells are the same as mine." Connor said. "The energy of the Source Stone pours into your body and strengthens your physical ability through certain ways. This kind of spell talent is relatively rare..."
"But I feel energy coming out of my body." Jiang Yan was a little confused when he heard this.
Connor's expression changed: "What did you say?"
"Energy is pouring out of me."
"Boy, there's a limit to joking. The feeling of magic is very strange. It's normal for you to mistakenly think that the energy comes from yourself, but don't just think that this energy really belongs to you. Give me the Source Stone. No more
With the energy supply from the Source Stone, your spells will stop immediately."
Jiang Hao handed the Origin Stone to Connor. After almost ten minutes, with his hands free, he wanted to stand up from the chair next to him. As soon as he exerted his strength on his hands, he heard a boasting sound.
The metal-framed chair was crushed by his one hand, and he couldn't even hold himself up.
At this time, Jiang Yan only felt that without the energy of the Origin Stone to suppress it, the energy in his body was gushing out in a more rapid form. He told the situation truthfully, and was instructed to stay put.
It wasn't until half an hour after his hands were separated from the Origin Stone that Jiang Yan felt a little weak, and Franka told him that his eyes had returned to their original appearance, he relaxed.
He felt a little hungry.
…
With Connor's permission and a souvenir, Jiang Yan could prepare meals in the cafeteria in advance and eat as much as he wanted, with unlimited supply.
He left happily.
I don't know why, but he really wants to eat meat now... any vegetables are not in his consideration range.
After Jiang Yan left, the room fell into silence.
"This is interesting." The guy who led the way spoke first. "Franka, Razer, how did you feel just now?"
"..." Flaka felt a little hard to say, "Fear, fear like biological instinct."
Razer nodded, "I feel a sense of insignificance." Especially those eyes... it made her a little scared to see them.
"Then what?" The younger brother crossed his legs.
"When something started to go wrong around him... I shouldn't be the only one who feels it, right?"
"...There was the sound of waves and singing for a moment." Connor frowned, "But it didn't sound like a real sound."
"That's why I said I felt it." The little brother smiled. His smile was a little playful.
"BOSS, do you know what's going on?" Franka asked eagerly, and Razer also seemed very curious. Connor seemed to have already guessed the answer.
"Maybe you know." The guy who led the way - BOSS, leaned back in his chair and said with a smile in his voice:
"The abnormal crystal density of the Blood Origin Stone, the weird sound of the waves and the singing, the 'body is highly strengthened not caused by the Origin Stone', combined with his appearance... there is only one species that matches his race."
As he spoke, he laughed again:
"I'm afraid I've already guessed why he had such a weird experience, and who was behind the plot to murder him...
"Because this is the only way to explain why such a rare and mysterious noble race has lived in the civilized world for many years without being discovered, or even without knowing it."
"Then what exactly is he..."
"Who knows? It's all speculation."
BOSS waved his hand, indicating that this topic was over.
"Bring me the personnel list. This year's trainees will be divided into groups. I will make some arrangements myself."
PS: Another big clue about Jiang Yan’s identity appears!
Friends who are familiar with traveling can probably make a rough guess.
