Life Dungeon Game

Currently, Heo has not yet discovered any trace or record of the evil god in the main world.
In conclusion, once the relevant knowledge is known, one will be drawn into the secrecy surrounding the events and the unavoidable contamination of the situation for ordinary people. This is likely a major reason why neither the main world nor the instance world is willing to publicly acknowledge the existence of extraordinary powers.
Knowledge itself can be toxic.
Extraordinary people attract each other.
"Therefore, most of the world's larger supernatural organizations oppose Dawn's ideology," Yang De continued.
"But Dawn was unwilling to give up its ideals, and their ideals also attracted some superhumans who committed crimes and serious offenses in various places. Dawn accepted these people without hesitation."
These villains and bad guys gathered together and gradually formed the current 'Dawn'. After absorbing these people, they basically do all sorts of bad things.
This has led to them being blacklisted by various countries, effectively preventing their members from entering the country through normal channels.
It sounds like an international, extraordinary criminal organization.
Are there many powerful individuals within Dawn?
He asked softly.
"Over the years, they have taken in a lot of fugitive thugs. There should be more than ten C-level thugs and only two B-level thugs."
Yang De thought for a moment and answered somewhat hesitantly.
There were only two B-level items. He Ao was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Are there any A-level items?"
"No."
Yang De shook his head, glanced at He Ao, and said slowly, "There shouldn't be any A-level beings in the world right now."
No Grade A?!
He Ao paused for a moment, then calmly changed the subject and asked, "If there's no A-level, then what about the A-level ranking system..."
"Actually, this classification system is not our original creation. We discovered it in the ruins. We found some records in the ruins that describe extraordinary powers, which included a rough classification system."
Yang explained, "In fact, the document also seemed to describe some kind of connection between talents, but the most important part was missing, and we don't know exactly what the document said."
What we know so far is that some talents can be advanced by absorbing the remains of stronger talents or certain extraordinary items. However, the advancement process is very dangerous, with a high chance of death or transformation into a monster. Even if one survives, they may suffer mental breakdown.
A crazy and chaotic supernatural world.
He looked at the stars in the sky, "Isn't there a safe way to advance?"
"Actually, there are some,"
Yang De pondered for a moment, assuming that He Ao was thinking about promotion.
"We have found liquids with extraordinary power in mithril test tubes in some ruins. There is evidence that if the right talent takes this liquid, they will be promoted. As long as they can endure the pain of promotion, there are no obvious side effects."
However, the highest level of this liquid we've ever found is Class E.
In other words, promotion from C to B is not possible and there is no way to achieve it for the time being.
He Ao understood Yang De's unspoken question and asked slowly, "Is there a way to manufacture this liquid?"
“No,” Yang De shook his head.
"We don't know where this liquid comes from. It doesn't resemble the blood of alien beasts, nor the sap of some extraordinary plant. The prevailing view is that it's a liquid synthesized by the human civilization within the ruins through some kind of technological means, extracting the extraordinary power from the alien beasts. After all, it's quite obvious that the technology of the ruins is more advanced than ours."

Yang De continued, "The reason why there is no liquid with advanced talent might be because the power of advanced talent is difficult to extract. However, so far we have not discovered any instruments used by human civilization in the ruins to create this kind of liquid."
People's understanding is often limited to their own worldview.
For modern people, it is a matter of course that the earth is a sphere, but for ancient people hundreds of years ago, it was a matter of course that the earth was square.
Some things that are taken for granted may be unimaginable to those who have not crossed that threshold.
The same applies to the talent sequence elixirs. As for He Ao, he naturally knew in the dungeon world that talent sequences could be advanced by taking elixirs of the corresponding advanced sequences. These elixirs were made from different extraordinary materials.
This is common sense.
However, for the superhumans in the main world who have never had any relevant knowledge, the fact that drinking something made by mixing different superhuman materials in certain proportions can grant them greater power is a kind of miraculous, healing-like upgrade method.
Furthermore, the advanced technological civilization displayed within the ruins makes it easy for researchers in the main world to be distracted, leading them to believe that the secret medicine might be related to technological power, making it even more difficult to uncover the truth.
Ultimately, however, it's because the extraordinary powers in the main world have only existed for a short time, there are too few extraordinary individuals, and people haven't had enough time to explore them.
He pondered for a moment, then said slowly,
"I don't think it's necessarily a scientific creation."
When I was a child, my grandfather would often prepare herbal medicine for me when I was sick. He would neutralize the strong medicinal properties of herbs with opposite or neutral medicinal properties, and then turn them into herbal medicines that could be absorbed by the human body.
I was just thinking that perhaps the same applies to supernatural powers. If the supernatural power that one wants to absorb is too strong to absorb, then could one use some weaker or opposite supernatural materials to mix it and turn it into a supernatural potion that can be easily absorbed by the user?
I have a feeling that the liquid you just mentioned might be a secret potion concocted using this same approach.
“Hmm,” Yang De paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded, finding He Ao’s words quite reasonable. “It’s not impossible.”
He Ao glanced at him but didn't say anything more. Yang De and the research institute had treated him well, so he didn't mind sharing some basic intelligence. Besides, after the previous pirate incident, he was now the honorary deputy director of the research institute's overseas department.
There will be returns for every investment.
However, some things are best left unsaid; saying too much about them seems deliberate.
So he turned and asked, "Do we have specific information about the abilities of Dawn's two B-rank members?"
“No,” Yang De shook his head. “They are very well hidden. However, of the two, the leader of Dawn should be the one who entered the ruins during the third or fourth opening of the ruins. Dawn was founded around the time of those two openings of the ruins.”
"When will the ruins open for the third and fourth time?"
He asked softly.
"The third time was about ten years ago, and the fourth time was eight years ago."
"
Yang De replied.
The person who took the central processing unit from the tower inside the ruins must have entered the ruins about ten years ago.
The timing is right.
He needs to find the tower's central processing unit to find information about what is imprisoned behind the locked door inside the tower; there seems to be something behind that door that attracts his extrasensory memories.
He Ao and Yang De chatted for a while longer, learning about Dawn's operations, then He Ao yawned and prepared to go back to sleep.
Yang De stared at He Ao's retreating figure, lost in thought.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Heo's theory of the 'secret potion' made a lot of sense.
He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and made a call. The call was quickly answered, and a somewhat irritated man's voice came from the other end.
"Making a phone call in the middle of the night? Are you out of your mind? I'm at a critical moment right now."
Yang De glanced at the time; it was five in the morning.
Although the man's tone was unfriendly, Yang De wasn't angry; he seemed used to it. "I just heard a very reasonable theory. Would you like to hear it?"
He then relayed He's words.
The person on the other end of the phone reacted quickly, "Are you an idiot? Do you think extraordinary materials are like herbs, that you can just mix them together casually? Different extraordinary materials mixed together will explode, and if you're not careful, they'll become powerful pollutants. You think you can just mix them like that?..."
As they were arguing, it seemed like someone on the other end of the phone encountered something, and the other person appeared to put down the phone, but didn't hang up.
A furious string of curses came from the other end of the phone, but this time it wasn't directed at Yang De.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to go back to sleep? I'm a Class C superhuman, aren't you? I can stay up all night for a month and still climb snow-capped mountains, can you? If you die from overwork during your PhD studies, what will the entire research institute say about me? 'Forcing students to their deaths'? Tell me, are you deliberately trying to ruin my reputation? Get out of here, or I'll beat you up... Put the report down... I still need to see it..."
Immediately afterwards, the other party picked up the phone again.
"Old Yang, it's not that I'm trying to insult you, is it? Your statement is just a lack of common sense. I happen to have a report here about a research project on the properties of extraordinary items. Let me read it to you."
Pour the powder of the Moon Grass into 500 ml of a solution with a concentration of grams per liter, prepared using the powder of the extraordinary item Shadow Stone Statue. Dissolve the powder using ultrasonic vibration, and then film the dissolution process using a high-speed camera.
Within seconds of their combination, the two will form a complex with polluting properties, producing a strong mental shock.
Here are some photos taken by a high-speed camera. Let me take a closer look. These two extraordinary materials simply cannot be mixed together... If you don't believe me, I can send you the photos..."
At this point, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped.
This was followed by the sound of rapid keyboard typing and muttering to oneself.
"Photo album...photo album...I remember the photos from the high-speed camera were synced here...here..."
Then came the sound of mouse clicks and scroll wheel movements, seemingly zooming in on the image.
After a moment, it seemed like they took a long breath.
"Old Yang, you have..."
"If you hadn't pointed it out, it might have taken me a long time, maybe even many years, to notice this. After all, I already have preconceived notions about it. This isn't the first time we've done this experiment, although we only recently started using the high-speed camera. Wait a minute, let me look through the other photo albums..."
Then came the sound of keyboard typing.
Yang De waited quietly for half an hour before the other end slowly spoke.
"Some have it, some don't, most don't, and even those that do have it are not obvious... It seems that this situation only occurs between two specific extraordinary items... Moreover, the amount and ratio of mixing, as well as the method, need to be further explored. Perhaps several materials need to be mixed at the same time to form a stable solution... Sometimes a simple idea can really bring about earth-shattering changes."
"What did you find?"
Yang De asked softly.
"In the very short time before the complex was formed, the two extraordinary materials showed signs of fusion... Anyway, you won't understand, but you're right, your idea is very likely."
“It’s not that I’m right,” Yang De said, watching the direction He Ao had left. “This idea didn’t come from me, but from a new deputy minister in the overseas department. He’s an excellent person who always gives me unexpected and even somewhat shocking surprises.”
"Old Yang, if this idea is finalized, we may change the entire landscape of the extraordinary world."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "You must introduce me to your vice minister sometime. I'm very curious about what kind of mind comes up with such an idea..."
"Let's talk about it when we have the chance," Yang De said with a smile. "Even if you want to see them, they might not be willing."
"Old Yang, you seem very happy."
"I feel very happy when I see someone go from cursing to being completely convinced."
"When you get back to Beidu, I'll definitely beat you to death."
I'm having some writer's block, more later
