The sixth district of the Dongchuan base, also known as the old district, was established more than a hundred years ago. It now looks a bit outdated, and the buildings are aging and decaying one by one.
Even though residents have been repairing it, it still cannot avoid becoming dilapidated.
The people living here are all poor. Officials and rich people basically do not live in this area.
Seventeen-year-old Zhang Shen sat at the old desk in the room, looking out the window.
He was thinking about the college entrance examination in three weeks.
"The technology in this world is seriously biased. It's not bad in various aspects of people's livelihood, but it's ridiculously biased in terms of weapons. All of them are built around super-powered people."
"The strength of the five major bases depends entirely on the power of the superpowers in the bases."
Therefore, the education in this world has a very strange bias.
There are both liberal arts that teach history and writing, and science that cultivates scientific research talents, but there is also an additional super subject that teaches super knowledge.
In the college entrance examination, the scores of super-ability subjects account for a very heavy proportion, far exceeding those of liberal arts and science.
If you can become a superpower before the college entrance examination, you don't even have to take the college entrance examination. You can go to any school in the five major bases you want.
"However, the super power system in this world does not have fixed techniques or anything like that."
"Just a simple resuscitation method."
Since ancient times, there have been some lives on the continent of gods that possess miraculous powers. After countless years of research, people have discovered that the air and even the universe are full of a kind of particles. It is these particles that give people super powers.
People call this particle the God particle!
Spirit particles are everywhere, in the air and in all things.
However, this particle is very active when it exists alone, but once it is located in a living body, it will fall into a dormant state.
Only a few lives can activate the divine particles in their bodies and gain enormous power.
The awakening method is the method that people have summarized over countless years to awaken the divine particles.
"Unfortunately, not everyone can awaken the divine particles through the awakening method. The role of talent in this regard is fully revealed, blocking the superpower dreams of most people."
Zhang Shen's parents were among those who were unable to awaken the divine particles.
"Once a divine spirit awakens, it will become a first-level superpower. It awakens its own abilities and will be divided into dangerous levels according to the role and strength of its abilities."
"The danger level of a Level 1 superpower is between one and ten."
"After the second awakening, the danger level will exceed ten."
Zhang Shen was thinking whether he should awaken the divine particles in his body before or during the college entrance examination.
With his knowledge and realm, he has already mastered the awakening method, not to mention his talent. As the incarnation of a powerful God, there is no doubt about it.
But is this too high-profile
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Shen still felt that he should be more high-profile.
This level will not expose his true identity, and he also needs to make some money to improve his life.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shen couldn't help but sigh.
How ridiculous it is that the incarnation of a powerful god has fallen to the point of worrying about money.
There was no way around it. Chu Mu and Guan Hailan were already poor, and raising a pair of twins was extremely expensive. The already poor family was hit even harder, and they had been living a tight life.
Fortunately, Zhang Shen has a tough personality and does not have too many material demands, otherwise he would not have been able to endure staying in the underground space without moving.
But he had no other demands, he just had to be able to fill his stomach.
If you don't have enough food to eat, it's useless no matter how material things are. You will starve to death.
After all, his body is just flesh and blood.
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. You won't starve to death, you just don't eat well. However, to awaken the divine particles, not only the awakening method is needed, but also sufficient energy.
If you don’t have enough energy, your body will be drained when you wake up.
When using abilities, energy is also consumed. It can be said that all super-powered people are big gluttons.
These are all reasons, but they are not the main reasons that prompted Zhang Shen to decide to awaken at this time.
Father Chu Mu's increasingly thin and old body and mother Guan Hailan's increasing wrinkles on her face are among the reasons.
Having borrowed their son's identity and enjoyed their love for so many years, no matter how hard-hearted he is, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent.
Moreover, Zhang Shen keenly sensed that his mother Guan Hailan might be pregnant again.
It is normal to get pregnant again when you are under 36 years old.
However, considering his family's current financial situation, he and his younger brother Chu Yun are about to take the college entrance examination and may go to university. Guan Hailan will most likely go to attract students.
"Since he is my brother or sister, I can't just ignore him." Zhang Shen's mouth curled up.
Because of the existence of divine particles, not only humans, but other lives can also feel it.
The awakened divine particles gain super powers. Even because rocks and water flows are not within the scope of biological organisms, these things have been under the active divine particles for a long time, and a small part of them have mutated into extremely precious materials.
Leaving aside the latter, the former has been a threat to human security since ancient times.
Compared to humans who possess rational wisdom, it is easier for animals, who have been fighting in the wild and hovering between predation and prey, to awaken.
This is also the reason why humans now only have five major bases.
More than 90 percent of the Divine Continent is occupied by these super-powered creatures, making it difficult for humans to set foot.
When super-powered people hold power, it may even be the most important power for humans to protect themselves.
The resources enjoyed by those with super powers are beyond imagination.
Once you become a superpower, even if it is a level one superpower, your class will be immediately upgraded.
A simple financial problem will disappear immediately.
Not to mention anything else, a villa and tens of millions of divine coins will be delivered to you immediately.
This is just a small fraction of the resources and privileges enjoyed.
Corresponding to this is responsibility.
However, Zhang Shen never thought of evading responsibility, or it could be said that few super-powered people would evade responsibility.
Killing super-powered creatures and protecting humanity's survival base is of great benefit to the super-powered people themselves.
With the thought in mind, Zhang Shen recalled the awakening method to stimulate the divine particles in his body.
His body was not strong enough due to long-term malnutrition, and it was difficult for him to provide the energy needed for the first awakening.
But it doesn’t matter, there is still a trace of the divine power that Lin Fanyun used to protect him.
These are enough to cover Zhang Shen’s first awakening.
Half a day later, Chu Mu, Guan Hailan and Chu Yun came back from outside and saw Zhang Shen, whose whole body was black iron, like steel.
"Son, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother." Guan Hailan and Chu Mu were very anxious, thinking that Zhang Shen had eaten something poisoned.
Chu Yun was also very worried about his brother Chu Zhong.
Chu Chong is Zhang Shen's name in this world.
Zhang Shen touched his head, and there was a "clang clang" sound of steel colliding. In his current state, even his hair had turned into steel.
"It's okay, it's okay. My divine particles seem to have awakened. This is the state in which I can use my abilities." Zhang Shen explained.
Chu Mu, Guan Hailan and Chu Yun were stunned immediately.
