A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

During the day, the world is exactly the same.

But at night, the wilderness is once again shrouded in black mist, within which dwell terrifying mist demons.

The information Zhou An gathered last night, and the world he learned about, seemed to be an apocalyptic world.

However, it is completely safe during the day, with no black fog whatsoever.

This also meant it wasn't the end of the world.

The entire world is a unified global federation, and every city is connected.

If you want to and can afford it, you can reach any city in the world within a day.

As Zhou An entered the guild hall, he saw a large number of superhumans standing in the mission hall on the left.

"Is anyone willing to team up to go to Songjiang No. 3 Fog Demon Cave? My superpower is water control, and I am very strong in underwater combat."

"Hey, hey, hey, killing the Golden Hummingbird was the quest I wanted first. Are you trying to take it from me?"

"Transporting tungsten ore? At night? And the reward is only 100,000 yuan? That's too little."

Looking at the bustling mission hall, Zhou An suddenly had an idea.

The reward for one task is 100,000 yuan?

As expected, those with superhuman abilities make money faster.

For ordinary people, the only option is to work honestly and earn a salary of one or two thousand yuan a month.

Following the signs, Zhou An arrived directly at the qualification certificate examination center.

"Hello, I'm here to take the test for my superpower qualification certificate," Zhou An said to the staff.

"Fill out the form." The staff member looked up, glanced at Zhou An, took a form, and tossed it on the counter.

Seeing this, Zhou An didn't say anything, and immediately picked up a pen from the side and began to fill it out.

The information here isn't very extensive; it mainly includes age, name, address, occupation, and so on.

The second page is for filling in your special ability, when you awakened it, and why you awakened it.

Zhou An quickly filled out the form.

As for his special abilities, Zhou An filled in three: great strength, fast healing ability, and fast speed.

Zhou An also researched this and found that many people with superpowers awaken multiple abilities.

He is even the person with the most awakened superpowers in the world, possessing seventy-eight different superpowers.

Even in Songjiang City, there are double digits of people who have awakened more than five abilities.

"Oh? You've awakened three abilities, but none of them seem very good." The staff member glanced at it and stamped it with a seal.

"Take this and go to the assessment room on the second floor. Find the person inside."

Zhou An took the stamped form and strode upstairs.

About five minutes later, Zhou An arrived at the examination room.

Surprisingly, there were more than ten people inside.

When they saw Zhou An come in, they all looked over.

However, upon noticing that Zhou An was also holding a list, he withdrew his gaze.

Zhou An glanced at the people in the room, silently found a place to sit down, and waited quietly.

And so, they waited and waited, for almost an hour, before the door was pushed open again.

A beautiful woman in a white combat uniform walked in.

A bespectacled woman in business attire was following behind.

"I am Yan Ling, your examiner for this test. I have reviewed all your information. The test will now begin."

As soon as Yan Ling finished speaking, the examination room suddenly shook.

The next instant, the surrounding walls began to recede violently backward.

In the blink of an eye, the assessment room expanded tenfold.

The middle section begins to bulge out, eventually forming a ring.

The edge of the arena was surrounded by black iron railings.

“The first one is Jiang Fei.” As soon as Yan Ling finished speaking, a man in his twenties twisted and disappeared from the spot.

Looking at the arena again, the space distorted, and Jiang Fei finally appeared on the arena.

"Your awakened ability is fire control, so attack me with all your might."

Yan Ling stood ten meters away from Jiang Fei and spoke coldly.

"Huh?" Jiang Fei was a little at a loss.

"Go for it. The qualification exam is related to your potential level, so don't hold back," Yan Ling said in a deep voice.

"Yes, examiner," Jiang Fei replied.

He took a deep breath and then roared.

In the next instant, Jiang Fei was covered in flames, and the intense heat swept across the entire area.

"Fire Fist!" Jiang Fei stepped forward and slammed out with his right hand.

A terrifying flame shot out from his fist, trailing a long tail of flame, heading straight for the Word Spirit.

The entire testing room was engulfed in flames, and the superhumans standing around it felt suffocated.

"Wow... such powerful flames."

"My goodness, if I get punched like that, I'll be turned into charcoal right away."

"This kid is really amazing. His potential level should be at least C-level."

"C-level? I think it might even reach B-level. I'm envious. With the potential of B-level, you can at least reach level 5 or even level 6 in the future."

"I estimate my potential level is at most D. I'm fast, and once I get the certification, I can run a food delivery business and earn a good amount of money every month."

The flames on the arena disappeared.

Jiang Fei was panting heavily. The flames around him dissipated, leaving only a few scattered flames on his body.

The clothes weren't burned; they must have been special clothing.

"Not bad, potential level B. You need to practice your ability more; your control is too poor."

"Next up, Liu Yu."

As soon as the words of the spirit fell, Jiang Fei was teleported directly to the bottom of the arena.

A cute girl, about 1.5 meters tall, was teleported to the top of the arena.

The woman with glasses standing below was recording Jiang Fei's information on a tablet computer.

"Liu Yu, healing ability, heal this puppy."

With a flick of his wrist, the spirit summoned a puppy several months old in his hand.

The puppy was on the verge of death, but Yan Ling showed no pity and simply threw it at Liu Yu's feet.

"Yes...yes, examiner." Liu Yu quickly squatted down and carefully examined the dog's injuries.

Then Liu Yu stretched out her hands and placed them above the puppy. The next moment, a layer of green light appeared on her hands.

The dog's wounds healed rapidly despite its near-death state.

About ten seconds later, the puppy rolled over and stood up, then raised its head and kept rubbing against Liu Yu's hand.

"Whoa, whoa..."

The puppy seemed to know that Liu Yu had saved it, so it was extremely affectionate towards Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was captivated by the puppy's cuteness and quickly picked it up before standing up.

"Examiner, I've finished my treatment," Liu Yu said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Complete healing in ten seconds, B-level potential, you're quite good. Are you interested in working for Tianheng Company?"

The usually stern-faced Yanling revealed a smile.

"Yes, yes, I'm willing." Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, but after realizing what was happening, she was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Looking at the other superhumans, there was an uproar.

"My God, they actually recruited them directly into the Tianheng Division?"

"Is the examiner a superior of the Tianheng Division?"

"Word of Power! This is Word of Power! Our outer city's action team leader in charge of East City Area 1 is a Level 5 ability user."

"I'm so envious. Healing abilities are so rare. No wonder they recruited B-level directly. You know, Tianheng's assessment is very difficult."

"Not only is the assessment difficult, but you also need to recommend someone; not just anyone can participate in the assessment."

As Zhou An listened to their discussion, a thought struck him.

The assessment is difficult and requires a recommender.

However, in any case, Zhou An has now obtained the qualification to apply for the exam.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth superhuman.

Suddenly, the number of people increased to eleven.

After this person completes the assessment, it will be Zhou An.

"The eleventh, Zhou Nuan."

"Your special abilities are danger perception, great strength, and flight... Potential level C."

The eleventh person is a triple ability user, but his potential level is only C.

Everyone was used to this; the more abilities one had, the lower one's potential level would be.

Of the first ten people, Jiang Fei and Liu Yu are the highest-ranked, both at level B.

Not even an A-level student appeared.
