Gu Ran could even instantly calculate how many people there were in the area he was in, how many men and women there were, how many old people and children there were. As long as it was a number that he could distinguish with concepts, he could calculate it in an instant.
His brain seemed to have become a supercomputer.
After ending that state, Gu Ran pondered.
"What's wrong?" Xue Yingsong was quite impatient. "How big is it? Has it exceeded the scope of Lanxin University?"
Xue Yingsong's own telekinetic range is exactly the range of Lanxin University. If Gu Ran surpasses him, then it means that Gu Ran is indeed stronger than him.
Then it would be reasonable for Gu Ran to be able to do what he couldn't.
Gu Ran nodded, but he did not tell the range of his telekinesis.
Because of this range, even he himself felt it was a bit exaggerated.
You know, the population of Canglong City is about 400 million. One-third of Canglong City, which means more than 100 million people, are under his perception.
Although it was just a preliminary vague perception, it was also very scary.
Although the combat effectiveness of telekinesis is not as good as martial arts and some superpowers, it is even more terrifying in some aspects.
"So you are really stronger than me." Xue Yingsong said with emotion, "Then I have nothing to say. My telekinesis has not been enhanced for many years, and I guess I will never reach your level.
"But come to think of it, I don't think I need to reach your level, haha. Although the spiritual energy I can mobilize is very little, even less than some martial arts apprentices, it is still enough for daily use."
Gu Ran said speechlessly: "Although I am better than you, can you please not look at me like a test subject? I am also a researcher. If you want to study myself, I can do it myself. I won't bother you."
Xue Yingsong laughed awkwardly: "Since you can use this space prop, then go quickly. The temporary special committee has entrusted you with full authority. It's up to you to decide how to do it and to what extent. If there is anything you are unsure of, you can also discuss it with me through this special communication channel."
Gu Ran was silent for a moment, then said, "This matter concerns the future strategic direction of Canglong City. Are you really going to leave it to me?"
"Why, are you scared?" Xue Yingsong said with a smile, "You are young after all. If you are afraid of taking on such a big responsibility, I can understand."
"You are all afraid, so why should I be afraid?" Gu Ran smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I will do my best to do this, but as I said before, if I feel there is danger, I reserve the right to retreat."
As he spoke, Gu Ran walked into the space portal.
... ...
The coordinate position of this space portal is fixed, perhaps to prevent outsiders from not knowing how to use it or using it indiscriminately.
Gu Ran walked out of the space portal and thought to himself.
If the spatial coordinates are not fixed, then people who are not familiar with the spatial coordinates may either not be able to use the coordinates to determine their location, or may mistake the coordinates and be teleported to the wrong location.
Of course, these two points do not exist for Gu Ran, as he is very familiar with the spatial coordinates.
Even if he lost his spatial ability, he could not make a mistake in the spatial coordinates.
"I don't know if I can still modify the location of the teleportation coordinates after losing my superpowers..."
Gu Ran suddenly had an idea. If he could modify the coordinate position, it would be equivalent to him being able to regain his previous space teleportation ability with the help of this space prop.
Although it may not be as easy to use as before, it provides an additional way to travel, which is much better than now.
While Gu Ran expanded his mental power to investigate the surrounding situation, he also studied the ring on his hand.
"Well, it has been used quite a few times. If the intensity or frequency of use exceeds a certain limit, the ring will break down and can no longer be used."
"Well, this ring is still a little too fragile to go through too much torture."
Gu Ran temporarily gave up studying the ring and shifted his attention to the surrounding environment.
"This is fifteen kilometers northwest of New Testament City..."
Since the range of his telekinesis was wide enough, Gu Ran quickly knew where he was.
Although he had only passed by New Testament City when he accompanied Xiao Hailuo home, the style of New Testament City left a deep impression on Gu Ran.
The prevalence of bounty hunter teams, slave trade, and advanced ship systems...
Unlike Saint Covenant City and Canglong City, New Covenant City emphasizes the separation of powers.
The official political leader of the New Testament City is called the General Governor, which means he is in charge of all affairs. But in fact, even as the General Governor, there are many affairs that are beyond his jurisdiction.
For example, the big conglomerates in New Testament City.
These big financial groups have extended their economic tentacles to every aspect of New Testament City, and they are the real controllers of New Testament City.
Because the Julyflower Hunters, which are composed of these large conglomerates, have the power to make the rules of New Testament City.
The chief judges who decide whether these rules are in compliance with the Constitution basically attend universities that are funded or sponsored by large corporations.
The Bounty Hunter Association is naturally also supported by these large financial groups.
Just like when Gu Ran sent Little Snail home before, the Giant Shark Squad captured Little Snail's mother and wanted to give her to the young master of the Mellon Group in exchange for upgrading their resources to pure star stones.
Gu Ran thought about it and did not go to the main road for New Covenant City’s external communications, but came to the slums of New Covenant City from another direction.
The situation in the slums of New Testament City is far worse than that in Canglong City, or even worse than that in New Testament City.
You can tell from their environment.
There were messy, dilapidated houses, garbage and animal carcasses everywhere, and occasionally even human corpses dragged to the side of the road.
The pedestrians on the street were walking in a hurry, looking around vigilantly.
There were several open windows, and it seemed that there were eyes inside that noticed Gu Ran and immediately closed the windows.
When the pedestrians on the street saw Gu Ran, they all moved away and walked towards other routes, as if Gu Ran was a disaster star.
Gu Ran watched this scene in silence.
It seems that it is not easy to get information from the slums of New Testament City. The residents here are very wary of all strangers.
Obviously, this should be the survival experience gained from past lessons.
The people in the inner city and the bounty hunters view the people in the slums worse than slaves. A slave is at least a commodity that can bring value to the owner, but the people in the slums... ...the value they bring is mostly not worth mentioning.
Their role is to serve as consumables to consume the tide of ferocious beasts and serve as the first barrier to resist the tide of ferocious beasts.
Therefore, the life and death of people in the slums are not controlled by them, and they do not even have basic personal rights.
A few beautiful people, if they were noticed by some slave owners, would be honored to be promoted to slaves and sold to the inner city for others' enjoyment.
Compared with the original situation, at least it is not so easy to be eaten by ferocious beasts.
Of course, survival is the first consideration. If you want to survive and be free, you must master the survival skills in the slums.
For example, don't talk to strangers.
Because the stranger in New Testament City may be a bounty hunter passing by, even if he kills you casually, he will not be punished.
These are some written materials that Gu Ran obtained before he came. Now it seems that these materials are quite consistent with the facts.
However, Gu Ran did not need to communicate with them directly to find out information. When he expanded his mental power, he would be able to sense all the conversations of the slum residents.
Gu Ran continued to expand his mental power to the inner city of New Covenant City, and he was also able to sense the conversations of the residents in the inner city.
Quickly eliminate invalid information from tens of millions of pieces of information and focus on relevant and useful information.
Even so, Gu Ran still felt a little tired.
If the brain is the CPU, then Gu Ran feels that his CPU is still too weak and it is difficult to process so much information at the same time.
Helplessly, Gu Ran could only continue to eliminate less important information.
The impact of information flow on the brain has finally been alleviated a lot.
The telekinesis has been spreading towards the inner city, but the farther the distance, the weaker the perception.
When it spread to one-tenth the size of the inner city, Gu Ran stopped expanding his mental power.
This distance was just enough for him to clearly perceive the content of the residents' conversations, and it was also the limit of his expansion.
It is not impossible to expand further, but then we will not be able to perceive the content of the residents' conversations so clearly.
"That's him! Over there, look over there, that's the guy."
Just then, a thin middle-aged man from the slums came over with a small group of soldiers wearing New Testament City uniforms.
"Look at his skin color, hair color, and face shape. He is definitely from Canglong City!" The middle-aged man pointed the way for the team of soldiers with a flattering smile.
"He really looks like someone from Canglong City. Arrest him!"
An officer who looked like a leader gave instructions to the squad of soldiers around him.
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers came towards Gu Ran with their weapons.
"You did a good job. This bread is yours."
The person next to him opened a bag of bread, and the officer reached in and grabbed some bread without caring how much he got, and threw it at the middle-aged man's feet.
Three pieces of black bread, as thick and hard as short wooden sticks, rolled on the ground for several rounds and were covered with mud.
But the middle-aged man didn't mind at all. No, he even fell to the ground in surprise and grabbed the few pieces of black bread.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The middle-aged man held the dirty and hard black bread in his arms as if it were a treasure.
The officer looked at the middle-aged man with disgust and said, "Go away, you are such a pariah, so disgusting."
The middle-aged man didn't dare to look at the officer at all. He hunched his body and wanted to leave.
The officer said calmly: "I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
