For some reason, Ye Qianxue had a premonition that she would get stuck in a quagmire if Mu Mu finished telling her the whole story, so she quickly refused, but Mu Mu wouldn't give her that chance.
You should say you didn't hear anything.
"Qianxue didn't hear anything!"
"Too late! Listen to me carefully, or I'll find a grove of trees right now and have my way with you!"
After Mu Mu's threat, Ye Qianxue immediately fell silent, puffing out her cheeks as she listened resentfully to Mu Mu's next words.
"Actually, I'm already capable of breaking through to the ninth rank."
The very first sentence caused Ye Qianxue's thought process to snap completely...
Chapter 53 Mystic Abilities
Inside the presidential suite, Yan Ziming sat on the sofa, watching Liu Mengxian and Bai He's conversation, which revealed the word 'heavenly secrets' in every word. He felt a sense of rejection.
Speaking of which... isn't Bai He a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer?
Why is Xian'er, who usually doesn't say more than three sentences, chatting so amiably with this chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)? Could it be that she really possesses a tiny bit of genuine talent, something that only exists on the other side of the imaginary number?
In response, Yan Ziming couldn't help but complain:
"Hey... what are you guys talking about? Can I get involved too?"
"If you haven't understood after listening for so long, there's no need for you to get involved," Bai He said sarcastically.
Yan Ziming glared at her angrily; this delusional girl was looking down on her!
Finally, Liu Mengxian answered her question: "We are talking about a new era and a new direction."
Okay, Yan Ziming admitted that she didn't understand, and Bai He's sarcasm was reasonable, but she was unwilling to admit it and insisted on listening, only asking that they explain it more clearly and not gloss over it with some magical words.
Bai He sighed and looked helplessly at Yan Ziming:
"If you insist on listening, fine, but I'll say it again—you don't want to know. If you do know, you'll have to bear certain responsibilities. Are you prepared for that? If not, then let's not talk!"
"...I'm off, I'm going to cook for you guys."
Yan Ziming immediately backed down. She still vividly remembered the scene when Bai He revealed her original name. After listening to their conversation, she realized that Bai He did indeed have abilities that she was unaware of.
I remember she said her special ability was a state secret, so it must have something unique about it. All her interactions with Xian'er were based on this.
Now she's saying the same thing again. This is clearly a trap, meant to lure her into it. Yan Ziming is much more perceptive in this respect than the usually dazed Ye Qianxue.
What she hates most is trouble; she ties her hair up in a ponytail and heads off to the kitchen to cook.
Seeing that Yan Ziming hadn't fallen into the trap she'd set for her, Bai He gave Liu Mengxian a meaningful look.
"Mo'er, sit down and listen to us. There are some things we need you to do."
Compared to Bai He's roundabout attempts to drag Yan Ziming into the scheme, Liu Mengxian was much more direct. With a single command, Yan Ziming dared not disobey.
Yan Ziming said with a long face, "Can I have a few days off? I have matches every day, and I'm the captain!"
Despite saying that, Yan Ziming obediently sat back down on the sofa and didn't say anything more.
Just when Bai He thought the conversation could continue like this, she said to Tian Tian, "Excuse me, Tian Tian, could you please leave for a moment?"
"Tian Tian, go and prepare for the competition the day after tomorrow." Yan Ziming gave her a wink, and she readily went into her room.
"Zi Mo...you don't mind calling me that, do you?" Bai He asked with a smile, and before Yan Zi Mo could answer, she continued speaking to herself:
"Five years have passed since the end of the era. We have gradually gained a foothold despite the invasion of mutated species, and we have far more strong individuals than in any previous era. I believe that in a few more years, a counterattack is not impossible. However, the world is always changing, it's just not very obvious yet..."
At this point, Bai He stopped, looked at Yan Ziming, and asked if she had understood.
Yan Ziming listened quietly, gesturing for her to continue. She and Mo Xin had already discussed this topic beforehand: the apocalypse would definitely see more than one change, with continuous and protracted changes occurring one after another.
"The top leaders of the world's superpowers are almost always observing the changes in every corner of the world, and our China is no exception. We have invested tremendous energy in this regard. Now, there are still two or three months left until the sixth year. I personally feel that the second round of changes is coming. At that time, it will be an unprecedented storm. A large proportion of these changes are directly related to us superhumans."
"You must be wondering how I know this, and that's related to what I just said." Yan Ziming was about to say something when Bai He guessed it immediately: "Ziming, let me ask you, what are the different types of superhumans these days?"
This is an easy question to answer, even for ordinary people. It's simply a matter of the five categories listed by the authorities: mental, elemental, support, beast, and healing.
But in this atmosphere, Yan Ziming had a feeling that 'the answer is definitely not that simple'.
"You're so stupid! You haven't done your homework properly. You don't even know this basic common sense, the five categories that the official guidelines give!"
Seeing that Yan Ziming did not answer for a long time, Bai He directly judged that she did not know, which made her grin with anger. You are always so mysterious, who knows if you are implying something in your words!
"However, these are just conclusions drawn from big data. There are approximately 700,000 people with superpowers worldwide, and the vast majority of them fall into the above five categories."
The vast majority?
Yan Zimo discovered the blind spot.
"As you've probably noticed, there are some types of superpowers that cannot be categorized using the five main categories. Their unique properties make them fundamentally different from ordinary superpowers."
as big as World, nothing is nonexistent.
The surge in the number of people with superpowers means that the types of superpowers will also become more diverse. The five major categories cannot encompass all superpowers; some superpowers fall between the boundaries of 'belonging' and 'not belonging'.
But that's not the point. There's a saying that goes, "As long as you don't give up, there's always a way."
Some superpowers that cannot be classified can be categorized into whichever category they are closer to, given their nature. Since they are not particularly powerful superpowers that can cause qualitative changes, there will not be an additional category to encompass them.
And now it exists.
“There is a type of superpower that exists only among a very small number of people, but without exception, they are all extremely powerful. Some may not have any offensive or self-defense capabilities, but their ability to penetrate the ‘rules’ is something that other superpowers cannot do. We call this type of superpower – the mystical type.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Ziming couldn't help but exclaim, "What the hell are rules? Isn't that something you only see in novels?"
"This rule is not the same as that rule. It refers to a kind of 'power' that this superpower possesses in the real world, which is rather abstract."
This time, Liu Mengxian answered Yan Ziming's question, as she was more experienced in this area.
Bai He added, "And there's something you're wrong about. The 'road' we usually talk about is actually the 'rule,' and it's not just something that exists in novels."
"Huh? Is that how it is?! I never noticed!" Yan Ziming said in surprise.
"Getting back to the point, all mystical abilities are unique. In other words, there will never be two people in this world who possess the same kind of 'power' at the same time, like me."
Bai He pointed to herself: "I told you before that my superpower is a state secret. Now, in front of Your Majesty, I'm not afraid to tell you that my superpower is precognition. However, precognition does not mean future vision. You must remember this. Precognition is not omnipotent either."
Seeing that Yan Ziming didn't quite understand the second half of what she said, Bai He continued to explain:
"The gist is—I can only know how to guide China in which direction at certain crucial junctures, and know the general outcome of a certain event in advance, but I cannot directly predict the future. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Yan Ziming nodded, seemingly calm, but inwardly a storm was raging.
No wonder she said her superpower was a state secret. I wonder how many times she has influenced China's decisions and guided China to avoid crises with it?
Regardless of her formidable combat abilities, this alone makes her a national treasure-level superhuman, directly impacting the fate of the nation!
Chapter Fifty-Four: A New Mission
Imagine having such a superhuman who can seek advantage and avoid harm. Every time China stands at a crossroads in the future, there will be no situation where it takes the wrong path!
At the same time, Yan Zimo also understood.
—How did China achieve so many remarkable accomplishments in such a short period of time? Why has China's comprehensive national strength grown so rapidly and continues to rise steadily?
To a large extent, it's because of the existence of white lotus!
This ability may not be of much use to an individual or a small group, but for a country, it is the foundation of national prosperity, a super-strategic existence that even a ninth-level powerhouse cannot compare to.
However, her role should not be exaggerated. If a country's strategic structure is supported only by a single superhuman, then the country's demise is only a matter of time.
A country's strategy comprises multiple elements, including economy, military force, culture, and spirit.
Speaking of military strength alone, ninth-tier powerhouses are one component of the strategy, as are nuclear weapons, the number of high-level healers, and top-notch war equipment, among many other factors. Bai He is just one of the most important components among them.
After learning how important Bai He's role was, Yan Ziming felt immense pressure about the task Mo Sheng had assigned him to protect her, and his posture involuntarily hunched over a little.
If this priceless treasure were to suffer any loss, how would she explain it to Mo Sheng and her uncle?
"Do you think I'm a hot potato?" Bai He saw Yan Zimo's anxiety at a glance and teased him.
"Hehe, I'm thinking, should I just send you back to your country right now so I can get rid of this burden?"
Yan Zimo said with a forced smile, she was genuinely worried. If the United States knew about Bai He's existence, they would do everything in their power to eliminate this potential threat!
"Don't worry, throughout the entire country, the number of people who know of my existence, including the two of you, is no more than a single digit. You can rest assured about that. Your Majesty is here too, so you don't need to feel too much pressure."
"Just call me Fairy."
Liu Mengxian's signature quote.
"Alright, Xian'er; let's get back to our previous topic."
Bai He took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. "Before this, there was only one mysterious ability user, and that's what I knew based on my own 'powers.' But just a few months ago, during the Yongjing Battle, I sensed a second one, and then when the Civilization Cup started, a third one appeared."
"What kind of 'powers' do they each have? They can't all be as overpowered as you, can they?"
Yan Ziming couldn't help but ask, "If that's really the case, then every time a mysterious ability user appears, the whole world will be thrown into chaos. They are people who must be strictly controlled."
Bai He did not answer Yan Zimo's question directly, but instead made an assumption:
"I don't know, but if each superpower were to have a comprehensive potential rating, divided into five levels: D, C, B, A, and S, then an A-level user would have no problem breaking through to the seventh rank, and an S-level user would have the potential to reach the ninth rank. Therefore, your lightning superpower would undoubtedly be S+, and mine would be too. However, over 80% of superpowered individuals worldwide only manage to hover around C or D ratings, with A-level or higher accounting for only about 5% to 7%..."
"Is this related to the rating of mystical abilities?" Yan Ziming asked, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, as if he had grasped a key point.
"Yes, what I'm trying to say is that every mystical ability has an overall rating of at least... Grade A!"
