Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 127

Chapter 127

One minute later.

Li Wanyun: “More, give us more. I have the Space Ability to take it all with me.”

Long Tianyu: “Yeah, yeah-another big chunk.”

Lou Mingwei practically stamped his feet. “Why are we giving you ice? Our own group hasn’t even used any yet. If you want to be fair, why don’t you give us a Space Ability user?”

Group B didn’t have an Ice Element Ability user and still came asking for ice, while his group didn’t even have a Space Ability user.

Even if the higher-ups wanted Group A and Group B to keep things as harmonious as possible, Lou Mingwei just couldn’t stand watching them take advantage of his group.

Li Wanyun: “Cheapskate. Go drink some cold water.”

Long Tianyu: “It’s not like we won’t pay you back.”

Lou Mingwei bared his teeth, furious. “Then when are you paying us back?”

They didn’t have an Ice Element Ability user. In this scorching, hellish weather, how were they supposed to get ice without wasting resources?

Wu Buyu said with perfect confidence, “Relax. Within ten years, we will definitely pay you back.”

Lou Mingwei: “…”

-Shameless. Every last one of them.

Long Tianyu: “Sis, did you skip lunch or something? Why does your Supernatural Ability feel so weak?”

Xiang Hanshuang finally snapped and roared, “Get lost!!”

There was already enough ice-and plenty of it. Long Tianyu scooped up Li Wanyun and Wu Buyu and vanished in a flash.

Lou Mingwei stood there, seething on the spot.

“Why did you give it to them?” he complained.

Xiang Hanshuang shot him a frigid look.

It was cold enough that Lou Mingwei immediately shut up.

Xiang Hanshuang lifted a foot and walked off.

-Damn it. She didn’t want to give it to them either.

But Group B had a lot of Space Ability users; sooner or later, they’d need Group B’s help.

And besides, those people were slippery as ghosts. They could come begging for ice, and they could just as easily put a sack over someone’s head. She really didn’t want to make enemies with them.

After Long Tianyu’s group left, Sheng An and Hao Jingye talked about the situation at the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department.

Hao Jingye pushed up his glasses. “Xiao Yu’s Plant-type Supernatural Ability has completely awakened. She’s about on par with the other awakened Plant Ability Users. Academician Zhou won’t let her go-he’s got her planting at full speed.”

Right now, she was probably questioning her entire existence.

Sheng An: “What about Song Linwei and Team 0?”

Hao Jingye: “Song Linwei and Wan Yuan are still awakening their Supernatural Abilities. Yu Feng and Jiang Huanshu have already awakened successfully-Yu Feng has a Wind Ability, Jiang Huanshu has a Water Ability. Chen Yue is showing signs of awakening too.”

After a pause, he lowered his voice. “Li Shuang has become one of the Aberrants.”

Sheng An’s fingers stilled for a beat.

Team 0 were comrades who’d survived life and death together. There was no way she felt nothing.

But Sheng An was rational to a frightening degree. With her eyes lowered, she adjusted instantly. “Team 0’s awakening rate is pretty high.”

Compared to the proportion of Superpower Users among humanity, Team 0’s ratio was indeed high.

It confirmed her earlier inference-

In Li Wanyun and Long Tianyu’s past life, Team 0 couldn’t have been wiped out completely.

Gu Qiansheng: “I just hope someone awakens an Ice Element Ability soon. Song Linwei and Wan Yuan better step up.”

He was clearly about to go insane from the heat.

No sooner had those two names been mentioned than Song Linwei walked in with Li Xin.

After an entire afternoon, they’d finally managed to get their emotions under control. Li Xin was still a little down, but he wasn’t nearly as collapsed and grief-stricken as before.

The Song family were all rational people. With their comfort, Li Xin’s condition had improved a lot.

Sheng An didn’t say much. She only patted Li Xin on the shoulder, offering silent reassurance.

Li Xin leaned against Sheng An and sat between her and Qi Lingwu, as if only then did he have something to hold onto.

Hao Jingye looked at Song Linwei, eyes widening. “What Supernatural Ability did you awaken?”

Song Linwei: “Enhancement.”

He’d already gone to the Supernatural Biology Research Institute to confirm the official name of it-an Enhancement Ability.

Everyone was taken aback.

It was actually Enhancement!

Ji Yani looked surprised. “Enhancement? I’ve never heard of that. Do you enhance yourself, or do you enhance other people?”
Song Linwei said, “I can do both.”

Everyone looked a lot more relieved. This counted as one of the best pieces of news they’d had all day.

Hao Jingye said, “That’s also a rare Supernatural Ability. A lot of Supernatural Abilities are extremely uncommon-some can even be called one of a kind.”

At present, there were no other Silence Abilities, no Prophecy or Word Spirit either, and certainly nothing like the “King’s Anchor.”

Song Linwei nodded.

He sat down beside Hao Jingye. “I just got back from the Research Institute. They’re classifying Supernatural Ability categories based on existing Supernatural Abilities. Supernatural Ability ranks still haven’t been officially confirmed-they need more data-but there are several ways to categorize them. One of the approaches is pretty interesting.”

Everyone turned to look at him.

Song Linwei drew a triangle on the tabletop and explained:

“There are many kinds of Supernatural Abilities. Even the same Supernatural Ability can display different levels of power in different people, so you can’t judge strength purely by Supernatural Ability type-you can only judge rarity.

“The triangle has five layers. The first layer at the bottom is all kinds of evolution and mutation. There are the most people in this category: Strength Mutants, Speed Mutants, Atavistic Mutants, and so on. It’s basically bodily enhancement and mutation.

“The second layer is ordinary Superpower Users, mainly based on the natural elements: metal, wood, water, fire, or earth. Their strength varies a lot-some are extremely strong, while some are even weaker than ordinary Mutants.

“The third layer is upgraded Supernatural Abilities-for instance, upgraded natural elements like the Thunder Element, Wind Element, and Ice Ability. Superpower Users at this level are rare, and most are combat-type, and very powerful.

“The fourth layer is rare Supernatural Abilities-Psychic Ability, Space Ability, Flash Step Ability, Silence Ability, Enhancement Ability, Healing Ability, Poison Ability, and many other Supernatural Abilities that haven’t been discovered yet. This layer is mostly support-type Supernatural Abilities. But any combat-type that appears here is an exceptionally strong expert.”

Qi Lingwu, Long Tianyu, and Li Wanyun fell into that combat-type category-each of them truly was an exceptionally strong expert.

Long Tianyu and the others happened to return at that moment. They first set a large basin down to the side, with a block of ice inside that looked like a small hill, then leaned in and joined the discussion.

Wu Buyu asked curiously, “Then what about the very top layer?”

What kind of Supernatural Ability could be placed above rare Supernatural Abilities?

Song Linwei took a deep breath and said slowly, “Rule and Order Ability.”

Just those few words made everyone’s hearts tighten for no clear reason.

Rules and Order Type!

What kind of Supernatural Ability could be described with words like rules and order? An ability powerful enough to affect the world’s rules and order? One that could cause a massive impact on humanity?

Sheng An looked at Zhuang Fan, then shifted her gaze to the old man and the child who had entered the kitchen. Her voice was steady. “Prophecy Supernatural Ability and Verbal Spell Ability.”

“That’s right.” Song Linwei couldn’t help marveling at Sheng An’s sharpness as he continued, “Prophecy and Word Spirit are both Rules and Order Type, but according to the Research Institute, one of them is only peeking at rules and order, while the other can only influence them within a small range. Neither is a Supernatural Ability that can completely rewrite or establish rules and order.”

He paused, then added, “And haven’t you noticed that both of these Supernatural Abilities have major flaws?”

Gu Qiansheng pressed his lips together and nodded firmly. “Yes. The Prophecy Ability User is a child. Using the Prophecy Supernatural Ability-we have no idea what kind of price he’ll have to pay. And Zhuang Fan is a stutterer, which seriously affects how his Verbal Spell Ability performs.”

Zhuang Fan said, “Mm.”

Wu Buyu translated, “He says yes. He can’t use his Supernatural Ability very well, so it feels a bit wasted. Also, he can sense that using the Verbal Spell Ability consumes a huge amount of Supernatural Ability. If he goes beyond the Supernatural Ability reserves his body has, it will directly injure his body.”

Song Linwei sighed. “When it comes to the most top-tier, rarest Rule and Order Ability, having flaws is normal. The Research Institute asked the Communications Department to compile nationwide statistics on Superpower Users, hoping to find another Rules and Order Type.

“They’re hoping a flawless Fifth Layer Ability User will appear-a true powerhouse capable of changing the world’s rules and order.”
