Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"First of all, our world has been polluted since 50 years ago."

Chen Xi clearly remembered what Zhang Wanyi had said.

It is clear that the history of superhumans is very short, at most 50 years.

Because the Black Tower existed first, then the superhumans, or what is known as the pollution, came into being.

The Black Tower appeared 50 years ago, a fact known worldwide.

But now, this uncle, who has been aware of his identity as an audience member for 60 years, has shattered what Chen Xi considered to be an ironclad rule.

"Don't rush, let's sit down and talk slowly."

The man's voice was very calm.

His eyes lit up slightly, and then he waved his hand as if inviting someone to a meal.

Suddenly, a beautiful tea set and three comfortable-looking chairs appeared between the three people.

Not only that, but there is also a fourth "person".

She was a girl with pigtails dressed in a black and white maid outfit, with exquisite makeup, and her expression was always sweet and smiling.

"Your eyes?"

Chen Xi wondered why the uncle's eyes seemed to look like that when he summoned those random things before.

After the middle-aged man sat down first, he pointed to his eyes:

"These are physical signs of releasing Stage II transcendental abilities."

"At the same time, it is also a sign of the progress of a Phase II transcendent."

"Only the outermost layer of my eyes is shining, which means I have just upgraded to Stage II of the superhuman."

"As my progress continues, the brightness of my eyes will gradually move inward. If a superhuman's eyes are fully lit, it means that he has reached the peak of Stage II."

"This kind of person is only one task away from reaching Stage III."

"Of course, it could also be a Stage III transcendent."

"As long as a transcendent being is at or above Stage II, they are indistinguishable in appearance."

Chen Xi nodded thoughtfully. What the uncle said differed somewhat from her guess, but it was generally true. At the same time, she felt a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and reflection).

"Dreamers have such convenient abilities..."

"But is it really okay for you to use your Stage II extraordinary abilities so casually?"

"I've heard that the extraordinary characteristics of Stage II are like a slow-acting poison, and cannot be used lightly. Once the poison spreads throughout the body, it will trigger the curse of the current identity."

Even so, since the other party had already used it, Chen Xi sat down without being polite.

Seeing Chen Xi sit down, Yang Wei naturally followed suit.

After the three sat down, the maid began pouring tea like a robot that had been given a command.

"I know all of this."

"But different extraordinary properties mean different so-called slow-acting poisons."

"Some extraordinary properties are inherently designed to cause a great deal of disturbance, and once used, they are destined to cause the poison to spread rapidly to the user."

"Without enough Black Tower Stones, the curse of my current identity will be triggered very soon."

"But my extraordinary characteristic, 'daydreaming,' is different, and you've seen why yourself."

The middle-aged man picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip:

"I can create very small things, and I can also create very large things."

"Small things, like this tea set placed in front of you, are created so that the toxicity they cause me is naturally very low."

"And the maid beside him was an empty shell without a soul, and she was also very short."

"After all, I'm not creating a living person; that would be equivalent to bringing them back to life."

"Daydreaming is not a panacea."

"Also, to be honest, I have a total of five Black Tower Stones. The Black Tower Stones have absorbed the poison from the previous battles and the poison from these battles."

"I will then use my mental powers to gradually clean them."

"But given my status, if I want to unleash a very strong power at once, I need a sufficient amount of Black Tower Stones."

"Therefore, I cannot give this to you as a gift."

Chen Xi nodded in understanding:

"clear."

He guessed that the uncle had Black Tower Stones, and more than one.

To be honest, Chen Xi did have the idea of ​​asking the uncle for a piece of black tower stone for Yang Wei.

It now seems that the Dreamer's maximum power might corrupt several Black Tower Stones at the same time, so naturally the other party wouldn't give it to him.

This also made Chen Xi understand a principle.

The maximum power in Stage II likely depends on the number of Black Tower Stones one possesses.

But this stuff is extremely rare, and if it's scarce or contaminated, you can only rely on your own body to tough it out.

It's no wonder that Zhang Wanyi's younger brother was cursed by his identity as a magician and turned into a containment object magician.

"Now let's talk about the issue of Black Tower and my age."

The older man brought it up himself.

"I can't give you a direct answer to this question in one sentence. Let me ask you a few questions first."

Just give me a normal answer.

Chen Xi and Yang Wei nodded at the same time, like two attentive elementary school students.

Are there still dinosaurs in the world today?

"no."

Chen Xi answered very decisively. Since it was a normal answer, there were no dinosaurs in this category.

"Have you looked for it?"

"Of course not."

"Okay, then I'll ask you another question."

Does such a country as the "Ugly Country" exist in this world?

"have."

"Have you ever been to the Ugly Country?"

"no."

Chen Xi did not come from a wealthy family. He had plans to study abroad, but that was something for after university.

"Okay, let me summarize."

"In other words, you've never been to the Ugly Country, but you believe in its existence."

Similarly, you may not have ever gone to look for dinosaurs, yet you don't believe that dinosaurs exist.

"Isn't your analogy wrong?"

"The Ugly Country has always existed; this is an objective fact."

Chen Xi argued his case based on reason.

"hehe......"

"What an objectively existing fact."

The middle-aged man suddenly raised his right hand and tapped his head with his index finger:

"Listen carefully, Chen Xi."

"This world is constantly being modified."

"But our understanding of this world remains unchanged."

"When I was observing you before, you had this question: why are there so few extraordinary people, yet you encounter them so easily?"

"The answer is simple."

"Because the world is much smaller than you think!"

"So small that it's just a single country."

"And the Great Xia Kingdom... is the only one of its kind in this world!"
