Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 550: the boundaries of ability

Views:

If you want to find a person who has a sufficient sense of presence and rarely appears in the public in "Panga", most of the employees have only one answer:

big boss!

The de facto ruler of the "Pangu creatures" hardly interferes in the daily operations of the company, and is completely handed over to the board of directors.

If she is regarded as an awakened person who has entered the "new world" and retains her physical body, all this seems to be explainable and very reasonable.

Of course, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao still have limited understanding of the company's top management, especially the latter, who also know those who often appear in the news, so they do not rule out "Pangu Creatures" and many similar "New World" "Level Awakeners, it's just that these people are not like big bosses. They occasionally show up to show their presence. Even if they wake up, they can at most see members of their own small circles and deal with some things covertly.

Hearing Shang Jianyao's answer, Jiang Baimian subconsciously looked around to confirm that there were no extra electronic products in the room.

She said with a solemn expression:

"Careful in words and deeds."

Before Shang Jianyao responded, "Isn't this the question you asked?" Jiang Baimian laughed:

"This is actually a good thing, it shows that we have something to rely on and are no worse than other forces.

"I used to think that the big boss stays at the bottom and rarely comes out. Will it be boring and boring? You think, we have been in the company for a long time and are eager to go to the surface, not to mention that she should be The big man who has experienced the destruction of the old world, now it seems that there is a reason."

Leaving aside the propaganda to employees, Jiang Baimian, who came from a management family, knows that since the establishment of "Pangu Biology", or since it moved into the underground building, the big boss has always been the same one and has never changed.

This made her occasionally wonder if she had changed it quietly, but most people didn't notice it. After all, in terms of cloning technology, "Pangu Creatures" is ahead of other major forces.

Otherwise, if the big boss is over 90 years old, the voice displayed on the radio will not be so magnetic and pleasant, which is more like a mature woman in her thirties, like Jiang Baimian's immediate boss, Deputy Minister of Security Xi Yu.

The honest Shang Jianyao immediately refuted Jiang Baimian's words:

"Maybe she just likes playing games in her room, just like Xiao Chong."

"Xiao Chong also occasionally goes out for a walk, and even rides a horse!" Jiang Baimian replied angrily.

Having said that, she paused and said hesitantly:

"There should be more than one strong person who has entered the 'New World' within the company, otherwise it will not be able to compete with the 'First City' and other major forces.

"And the big boss should be the most special one here, similar to Xiaochong?"

Shang Jianyao showed a thoughtful expression:

"Then what pets does she have..."

"I mean the level is similar, not the identity." Jiang Baimian sighed helplessly.

In her and Shang Jianyao's hearts, Xiaochong's identity is "the king of the unintentional", "the slave owner of aberrant creatures" and "the poisonous sore on the ashes".

Without giving Shang a chance to see Thermal Yue farther, Jiang Baimian instead asked:

"Did you eagerly remodel your room, explore the spiritual corridor, and experiment with your abilities as soon as you came back?"

Shang Jianyao showed a terrified expression:

"how do you know?"

Jiang Baimian made a "heh":

"I can guess it with my toes!

"It's time!"

She picked up the cup, took a sip of warm water, and asked curiously:

"Have you figured out the limits of those abilities?"

While waiting for Long Yuehong's injury to recover and return to the "Pangu Creature" in the first city, Shang Jianyao has always been exploring the newly acquired abilities and the qualitative changes in the leveling up, but due to Du Heng's advice, he was not in his room with him. There is so much trouble in the "Corridor of the Mind" that the feedback obtained on many details is not so accurate.

Shang Jianyao nodded, and his expression became serious:

"almost.

"'Thinking guidance' can be done in the form of 'mind implantation' or in the form of 'reasoning clowns', as long as it relies on language and the target is heard clearly."

Jiang Baimian remembered Wu Meng's strangeness, and asked with interest:

"That is to say, no matter where the target is, as long as I hear your words, it will be affected?"

"Yes, the limit of the range of this ability is the boundary between the distance of my sound transmission and the hearing condition of the target, which is not fixed." Shang Jianyao said, showing a longing expression, "If you want to use electronic products to increase the range of influence, Need to inject strength, I am not as good as Wu Meng now, the effect of radio broadcasting will be much worse."

"This is normal. You have just been promoted, how can you compare with Wu Meng? Even Wu Meng, who has been sealed for many years, is not comparable to you now." Jiang Baimian laughed, "We used to conceive of 'telecom fraud'. 'It seems that there is a basis for realization, that is, all kinds of facilities on the dusty soil are backward, not to mention the telephone, and only a few people can listen to the radio. In the old world, you must be like a duck to water."

"Yeah, yeah." I don't know when, the person who dominated the body turned into a pleasing businessman.

Immediately afterwards, he became reckless and bold:

"If I call board members from the group's landline, can I easily 'convince' them?"

"The premise is that they don't understand this ability, and they are not powerful awakeners themselves." Jiang Baimian decided to stop this increasingly dangerous discussion, and she asked instead, "What about other abilities?"

Shang Jianyao did not need to recall, and said directly:

"The main qualitative change of 'Literary Youth ยท Hypocritical Man' is in the range, reaching 80 meters. These two abilities are actually very similar in many aspects, so they can be integrated, but there are still certain differences between them, 'Literary Youth' It is more inclined to make the other party empathize or self-pity, while the 'hypocritical person' makes the target unreasonable and likes to do it the other way around."

As if afraid that Jiang Baimian didn't understand enough, he gave an example:

"If I am wounded by the target and lie on the ground, unable to move, the 'literary youth' can remind the other person of the injury he has suffered, or the similar things he has seen or heard, so as to empathize, shed tears, and decide to let go I have a way to survive, and the 'hypocritical person' is more likely to make him arrogant, decide to humiliate me well, and not rush to solve me, so that I have a chance to escape."

"I feel that the word 'empathy' is about to be broken by you." Jiang Baimian couldn't help laughing, "What about self-pity?"

Shang Jianyao thought about it for a while and said:

"When I hurt the target, he doesn't try to fight back, but there he says 'I'm sorry for being a human being', or sings some sad songs that touch him, if there is strong alcohol, he may choose to pour himself drunk."

"Really, really..." Jiang Baimian couldn't find words to describe for a while, "What's the change in the scope and number of people with 'lack of limb movement'?"

"One hundred and twenty meters." Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin and sighed, "If I choose 'distance increase', the range will definitely exceed two hundred."

In the battle of the Awakened, distance is sometimes more important than ability.

"Accept it if you choose, it's useless to regret anyway." Jiang Baimian reassured.

Shang Jianyao continued:

"The number of people affected by the three abilities is currently twenty.

"The range of 'interfering electromagnetic' is 120 meters. Calculated based on the ability with the farthest action distance, 'interfering matter' is relatively weak, only 50 meters."

"It's already very strong, and he deserves to be an awakener at the level of the 'Spiritual Corridor'." Jiang Baimian praised as a team leader.

She immediately showed a thoughtful expression:

"Awakeners who have explored the depths of the 'Spiritual Corridor' seem to have essential differences from ordinary 'Spiritual Corridor' level awakeners: the former's breath can be separated and left in a room of the 'Spiritual Corridor', or it can be separated from a certain room in reality. The items are combined, fixed, and become magical props, and the latter can't be done.

"So, in the process of exploring those spiritual rooms, in addition to obtaining some useful items, does it also have the effect of tempering itself? Otherwise, there will be no more exploration, and the depth of exploration will be different..."

"I haven't tried it yet." Shang Jianyao said with a smile, "Anyway, I didn't hide it from the company this time, and I should get some guidance later."

"Didn't try?" Jiang Baimian was surprised, "With your temperament, how can you hold back?"

"People are different, everyone has their own ideas, and sometimes I have to respect the voting results." Shang Jianyao replied solemnly.

Jiang Baimian was speechless.

At this time, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong entered the office one after another.

After sharing what was discussed just now, Jiang Baimian said to the three team members:

"Go to the gym and adjust your physical condition.

"Also, remember to get a haircut when you look back, it's better to be fresh."

"Yes, team leader!" Shang Jianyao's response was the same as before, without any change.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen gave similar answers in unison.

Entering the training room, Shang Jianyao glanced at Long Yuehong, and did push-ups with one hand:

"Let's compare."

Long Yuehong waved his right arm angrily and funny:

"Are you sure about that?"

He can now stand upside down on one finger.

Of course, it must be the fingers of the right hand.

Shang Jianyao replied with a smile:

"How can we strengthen our determination to get a robotic arm in the future?"

Such a strong obsession... Long Yuehong couldn't help muttering.

At this time, Bai Chen interjected:

"Actually, we should be eligible to apply for bionic intelligent armor, not a robotic arm."

Hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong's eyes turned slightly, and she asked carefully:

"Xiao Bai, it looks like you really want to go to the surface to perform a mission

"Isn't it good to live a safe and secure life in the company?"

Bai Chen glanced at him, pursed his lips and said:

"This kind of security is too fragile, maybe next month I will have 'no heart disease'."
