Warlord

Chapter 4: five competency domains

Views:

The originally normal line of sight suddenly stretched far away. In Zero's line of sight, both Leah and the items in the room shrank instantly, as if standing hundreds of meters away and looking at it strangely. Naturally, this is not the case, Zero is still sitting in the original position, but the distance of the field of vision has changed. He was slightly startled, and subconsciously wanted to see Leah clearly.

As soon as this thought came up, the field of vision suddenly narrowed again. Liya's figure immediately filled Zero's line of sight, so clearly that Zero could even see Liya's snow-white pair of peaks through the collar of the checkered shirt.

Perhaps Zero didn't know that when his field of vision changed, the silver animal pupils in the golden eyes also changed. When the pupils of the beast are vertical, the field of vision is extended. And when the pupils of the beast are round, the field of vision is shortened.

However, the free change of vision is only limited to Zero's right eye. Zero's left eye was fine, so the two different visions made him dizzy. He couldn't help closing his eyes, but there was a voice in his mind that kept asking: What's wrong with me

Leah noticed the changes in the golden eyes, and she happily asked, "How is it? Do you feel anything strange?"

Zero opened his eyes, the silver animal pupil in his left eye had disappeared, and scattered into countless hair-like thin silver lines covering the edge of the pupil. He shook his head and said, "I'm disappointed, everything is normal."

Even he didn't know why there was such a change in vision, so Zero decided to hide it, including Leah.

"Forget it, it seems that you just have a more beautiful eye." Leah was a little disappointed, but soon, the girl regained her vitality. Seeing that Ling had eaten almost everything, she said, "Take a rest, I'll prepare the identification instrument."

Zero nodded, watching her push the door and leave. He knew that the so-called appraiser should be related to the "ability appraisal" that old Jack said, and Leah had also mentioned "supernatural person" and "evolution point" before, which were new terms for Zero. At least in his memory, there is no such content.

His head was running as fast as a high-precision computer, analyzing and categorizing all the information received after waking up, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Is it evolution?" Zero whispered to himself, combining what he had seen and heard before, he already had a rudimentary concept of this world.

After the so-called cataclysmic day in their mouths, the genes of life have undergone earth-shaking changes. Some of these genes are heavily mutated, giving rise to all sorts of monsters. However, a small part of the genes have evolved, so there are "supernatural beings" and "evolution points". The supernatural beings should be the evolved new humans, but the direction of their evolution, the abilities they produce, etc., because of insufficient data, Zero can't analyze it anyway.

Now, Old Jack instructed Leah to conduct an ability appraisal on himself. In other words, Old Jack suspected that he was also a supernatural being. The basis for his suspicion should be related to his right eye.

Thinking so, Zero stood up, and held the bottom of the aluminum plate up to his face as a mirror.

The completely different pupil colors of pitch black and gold made Zero himself slightly taken aback. Then he smiled wryly. In such a situation, it's no wonder that old Jack would have a lot of imagination. Anyone who sees these two-color pupils will not be able to connect with normal people. Zero thought.

"The instrument is ready, you can come here... Hey, what are you doing?" Liya opened the door and came in, but she saw Ling was holding a dinner plate and didn't know what she was doing, she was curious.

Zero put down the plate, shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Liya didn't delve into it, and beckoned Ling to the next room.

This is a laboratory-like room.

There are various test tubes and utensils for experiments in the room, and there is even an operating table. There were some blood stains on the operating table, and I don't know what was lying on it. In one corner of the laboratory, a machine resembling an old-time magnetic resonance machine is being powered on. Liya is performing operations that Zero can't understand beside the machine, but it is not difficult to see that this machine should be an authenticator.

"Although it is an old identification instrument that grandpa bought from unknown sources, what can be identified is only the ability below the third level and the basic body composite index. But I think it should be enough for you. No matter how you look at it, You don't look like a power user above the third level, do you think you are." Liya was busy at the console with her hands flying.

Zero was fascinated by it, these hands should not be operating some kind of ability appraisal device, but should be playing the intoxicating piano music on the big stage.

"Hey, come here." Leah's voice shattered Zero's fantasy, and the girl pointed to the platform at the entrance of the instrument and said, "Come on, lie down here."

Zero nodded, walked over and lay down as promised. At this time, Old Jack also came in. He stood beside Leah, glanced at Ling with indifferent eyes, but said nothing.

Liya was also quite nervous, she pressed the start button, announcing the start of the appraisal.

Zero closed his eyes, feeling that the platform under his body was sliding into the hatch of the instrument driven by the mechanical pulley. Then, various lights lit up in the instrument, and Zero knew that countless data were being formed and sent to the display on the console.

Old Jack stared at the monitor with his eyes wide open.

With the formation of various data, the computer's unemotional synthesized voice also sounded: "The identification is complete. The object of identification: human beings. The comprehensive body index is based on the standard data. The strength is 120%, the body strength is 110%, and the muscle is 120%. Explosive power 130%. Ability: None. Evolution Point: None."

A series of data flashed across the monitor, and Old Jack's face kept turning gloomy. Especially when he saw the data of the last two items, he snorted and slammed the door out, followed by his growling voice outside the door.

Listening to Grandpa's voice, Leah sighed softly. When Zero emerged from the apparatus, he sat up from the platform, looked thoughtfully at the door and said, "Is he disappointed?"

Leah smiled bitterly and said, "Don't blame grandpa, it hasn't been easy for him these years. He has worked hard all his life for the masters of the Parkland chaebol, but now the top executives of the chaebol are cultivating young executives to replace grandpa. If you don't Without this job, grandpa and I will have a very difficult life, so grandpa has always hoped that there will be famous supernatural beings around him, so as to enhance his influence over the chaebol."

"Do supernatural beings have such a big effect?" Zero asked.

Leah nodded vigorously and said: "You probably don't know, after the cataclysm, the ground was shrouded in strong radiation, 90% of the world's population died one after another, and only 10% of people survived. In order to survive, human beings also Well, regardless of animals, the genes of all life have undergone the turbulence of the cataclysm, and have continued to evolve or mutate in just fifty years. The supernatural beings are the result of genetic evolution."

From Leah's mouth, Zero completed a systematic cognition of the new world.

Supernatural beings are the product of genetic evolution.

Through fighting with mutated creatures, or withstanding the cruel test of the harsh environment, or various reasons. In this turbulent year, human genes are changing and evolving at an almost terrifying speed. In the process, they generate evolution points.

The evolution point is a new member in the gene chain, its appearance breaks the original genetic composition of human beings, and evolves various abilities from the surface.

New humans with evolutionary points and abilities are called superhumans.

The classification and induction of abilities of supernatural beings finally took shape after half a century of quarrels and debates. All presently present and known abilities are divided into five domains.

They are: elemental domain, fighting domain, perception domain, mutation domain and rule domain.

And different abilities in different fields are divided into twelve levels. But in theory, there is still such a saying as the thirteenth order. Legend has it that when the ability is maximized and the bottleneck of the twelfth level is broken through, one will enter the thirteenth level. Ability users of the thirteenth level will produce an absolute domain, which is a substance similar to an energy field. Within the scope of the energy field, the ability will be maximized, even reaching the height of a god.

It's just that for now, there are no thirteenth-order god-level ability users in the world, so they have always been considered to be the realm of legends.

The five competency areas are naturally different.

The field of elements is a general term for the ability to manipulate the energy of various elements in nature. The known energy elements include the seven major systems of earth, fire, water, wind, thunder, light, and darkness. The ability users in the elemental domain, also known as magicians, represent the awe of the world towards them.

Those who are good at fighting are all elite fighters. Capabilities in this area include various weapon specializations, as well as enhancements related to combat such as strength, defense, and agility.

The next step is the field of perception, and the abilities of those with abilities in this field are mostly manifested in the power of the mind. They are the most powerful spiritual powers among all powers, possessing various incredible abilities such as mind imaging, mind eyes, mind chains, mind hints, and mind teleportation.

If we talk about the above three ability fields, the ability users are no different from ordinary people at least in appearance. Then the ability users in the Mutation Domain are undoubtedly like monsters. Ability users in this field can reorganize their genes in a short period of time, thus turning into another creature to fight. Among the known mutant abilities are animal incarnations, insect incarnations, ancient species incarnations, and the most terrifying demon incarnations.

The last is the rule field.

The so-called domain of rules refers to the powerful person who masters a certain rule. Although some scholars have summed up various rule-based abilities such as time control, space control, energy control, and material control. But as far as it is concerned, there is no ability user in the rule domain in the world, even if there is only one.

Therefore, the domain of rules and the legendary ability of the thirteenth level are in general, becoming a domain of theory.

However, some people prophesied that whoever masters the ability of the rule domain will be the living god in this world!
