Chapter 45 The Awakened's Annotation
If Xinyun was really trying to get angry, Jiang Xiao would naturally not compromise. Every time he heard the ranks among the Neanderthals, a strong sense of disgust would arise inexplicably in his heart. But that disgust was not directed at Xinyun, but the entire Neanderthals, or the existing group of awakened people.
Sometimes, Jiang Xiao even thinks that it might be better if he is willing to remain in his current semi-awakening state. At least now, he will not be bound by the rank he is born to belong to.
And now, although Xinyun looked fierce on her face, the smile at the corners of her eyes could not be hidden. Just like... the little sister next door was acting coquettishly with her elder brother. Jiang Xiao couldn't bear to refuse such coquettishness.
Xinyun raised her head and rubbed Jiang Xiao's palm with her head enjoyingly. Her eyes were so comfortable that they narrowed into a line, like a kitten sleeping in the sun, and she almost didn't purr.
Xinyun's heart is also confused.
When she first saw Jiang Xiao, she felt inexplicably close from the bottom of her heart.
Since she woke up, she has always been proud of herself as a priest, and other awakened people she usually contacted are respectful to her. Even though she had two battles last night, whether it was the Shuyuan and Zhuyu in front, or the frustration she came to the door later, even if she had to fight, she did not lose her etiquette to her.
She never swears to other awakened people. The only one who can make her act like a little girl when facing them is the other one in this city, and the only priest awakened person, Lao Hua, besides Xinyun.
That day in Lao Hua's Drinker Tavern, if another person was there, Xinyun wouldn't have looked at her right. But when she saw Jiang Xiao, Xinyun felt that she had a good impression of this man from somewhere. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have taken Jiang Xiao to drink with her.
Just curious? Xinyun's head was turned around. Not that. She found strange things in Jiang Xiao's body, such as not fully awakening for four years, and the inability to read even a little bit of historical fragments in her blood, which was later. And that kind of favor arises when she first saw it.
Xinyun has never had a relationship with any opposite sex that transcends friendship, so she is not sure what level she defines Jiang Xiao at. But now she only knows that Jiang Xiao’s hand presses on her head and rubs it gently, which is very comfortable.
So comfortable that she hopes this moment will never end.
But unfortunately, after just a few rubs, Jiang Xiao gently patted Xinyun's head and withdrew his hand: "Okay, are you satisfied?"
"Even if... satisfied." Xinyun nodded with her little mouth.
"Then, let's talk about the serious business." Jiang Xiao walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down: "Tell me your plan in detail."
"Okay~~~" Xinyun stretched her waist wide, walked to Jiang Xiao and sat down. The movement just now revealed her snow-white navel, and her beautiful face that was outstanding. If she took a photo and put it online, she would be shocked immediately.
But Jiang Xiao was really unable to be moved by this young girl who was just a high school student at most. He shrugged and pretended that he didn't see it at all.
Xinyun felt a little disappointed. Although she didn't mean to seduce Jiang Xiao, she still felt a little disappointed when she saw him being uninterested in her eyes: "Well, next... we will spend about four or five days dealing with passports and visas. When you are sleeping, I have arranged someone to deal with it. You don't have to worry about this matter, just wait with peace of mind."
"Have you... been arranged?" Jiang Xiao said in surprise: "But you don't even have my ID, so how can you apply for a passport and visa?"
"Hehe, of course it's a fake identity! Even such a thing can't be done. Wouldn't I, a priest, have been in vain for so many years?" Xinyun smiled with her little nose proudly: "Don't worry, at most, you will get your passport and visa in five days!"
"Okay. Then what?"
"Then go to Pasadena in Los Angeles. Well... I have a friend there, a professor of oceanography at Caltech. Through him, it should be easier to get deep diving equipment... Well, a depth of more than a thousand meters is probably necessary to use a hard normal pressure diving suit... This kind of thing is difficult to buy on the market, and it is unlikely to escape the surveillance of the college." Xinyun muttered, touching her chin, "So for the sake of confidentiality and safety, we have to go to Pasadena to find him in person and secretly get this thing."
"Why do you think you're doing these things seem to be lightly?" Jiang Xiao asked with a wry smile: "I think... I've already achieved success and fame. I have a house and a car, and my income is good, but compared to you, I'm simply nothing. I won't talk about the huge organization of the college. Why can a teenage girl like you be so rich? I won't talk about the villa you used to have. I'm afraid there are more than one hiding place like this. There are also fake documents that can be obtained at any time, and professors from Caltech... Where do you get the money and connections? More importantly... I got these things now, but I personally showed up and earned it with hard work. But you... don't seem to need this at all."
"Well... Actually, for the awakened ones, money is the least important thing." Xinyun smiled: "Almost every awakened one can easily get the life of a small rich man and don't care about it at all. I won't mention illegal means, even if it is a legal means, there are plenty of opportunities. In fact, the types of abilities are completely impossible to make money. If you know three or five friends casually, one of them is rich, right? Not to mention... Even if you don't know anyone at all, as long as both parties are awakened ones, there is no hostility to each other, and it is normal to just take millions to spend money."
Seeing Jiang Xiao's dull expression, Xinyun smiled even happier: "Is it difficult to understand? Because for the awakened, money is really too easy to come, and the rich material life is also within easy reach, so no one cares so much. At least among the awakened people I know, I have never seen any wealth-guarding slaves."
"As for the connections..." Xinyun rolled her eyes and looked proud: "That's not all awakened people. But I'm different. Don't forget that I'm a priest! Although there is only one citizen of the Imperial Palace, no matter where I go, there are many people who want to curry favor with me. Humph, except for the stupid pigs in the academy!"
"So... this is your first time meeting another awakened person?"
"That's not." Xinyun shook her head: "I have had other eyes before. However, with the ability of the scattered country, it can be solved easily, and it's not even my turn to take action."
"Well. He... is indeed very strong." Jiang Xiao nodded. Luan Ring's ability is indeed an offense and defense. Apart from the initial need to contact his opponent in human form, it can almost be considered unsolvable.
But... it was just almost there. Last night I was disgusted with it. Facing his terrible ability, even in the chaos, I had no choice but to do anything.
If Zhao Tianyu hadn't suddenly awakened, I'd be afraid they would have died long ago.
"So, is talent more important for the battle between awakened people?" Jiang Xiao thought for a while and asked.
"Well... it's not necessarily. In fact, the awakened people with innate abilities are in the minority after all. And the few that are suitable for fighting are even smaller. Therefore, the conflict between most awakened people is still based on the ability of the rank." Xinyun thought for a while and shook her head slowly: "The ability of the rank is for everyone, and it can be gradually improved through long-term exercise. For example, as a priest, my rank ability is mental power, so the more I exercise, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, the more I will be, like the day of the wounded Abyss, the more I exercise, the stronger my spiritual pressure on other lower ranks will be, like the day of the wounded Abyss.
The bone spurs controlled by the brain waves can also be easier and faster to seize control. By the same token, for the warrior rank, the ability of the rank is generally speed enhancement, strength enhancement, and self-healing ability enhancement. The longer the training and experience gaining in combat, the stronger these ranks will be. For example, the wounded abyss, among the warriors I have ever seen, is the strongest rank, and both speed and strength are at the top level. No wonder they can climb to the position of branch director of the academy. It’s a pity..."
Speaking of this, Xinyun's face showed a proud look again: "My talent is to predict the movement trajectory of everything. So an opponent like him who simply relies on physical attacks to fight has no threat in front of me!"
"It can almost be considered immune to physical attacks, right? It is indeed a very strong talent. But..." Jiang Xiao smiled teasingly: "Will you still be defeated when you meet an opponent like Duiyan? If Zhao Tianyu and Luan Rang had not joined forces, we would have been taken down in one fell swoop."
"But such a guy is a minority after all!" Xinyun shouted unconvincedly: "I said that those with talent are always a minority among awakened people, and even the minority is suitable for fighting. Where can we get so many opportunities to meet!"
"That's... not necessarily." Jiang Xiao shook his head: "I don't know how big the college organization is. I'm afraid you may not even know, but there are definitely many awakened people under their command. If you want to select from them, you can always pick out a few. And now our abilities have almost been exposed, and their dean can easily prescribe the right medicine."
"That's a problem..." Xinyun lowered her head and calculated: "But in the short term... it should be unlikely that another powerful enemy will appear."
"Why is this?" Jiang Xiao asked in confusion.
"Because if I have not received the stamp, I still have no chance of winning." Xinyun smiled: "My spiritual pressure is considered a very strong level among the priests. If I have not received the stamp from others, it is almost impossible to fight calmly in the face of my mental pressure. Not only will the ability of the rank will be suppressed to only 20% or 30%, but it is difficult to display the talent ability. So if the dean wants to send his post, he must first accept his stamp."
Jiang Xiao had gradually guessed what Xinyun wanted to say: "Is it troublesome to imprint...?"
"It's not particularly troublesome, but after all, it's about condensing almost all of his mental power, pouring it into the other party's spirit, and branding it. It's equivalent to..." Xinyun thought for a while and made an example: "It's like pouring water from an electric kettle into a bottle. Although the water source and electricity are endless, it takes time to heat a new kettle of water after all, and if it is continuously used in a short period of time, it will also cause considerable harm to itself."
"So how long does the interval between two consecutive prints take at least?" Jiang Xiao asked this most critical question.
"Generally speaking... it's about a week. But if you are hurt by yourself, it will take three days at the fastest. Otherwise... you will be as weak as the beautiful girl lying in the room, so weak that she is unconscious. Although her abilities are different, the fundamental principle is the same, and they are all exhaustion caused by overdrawing."
"By the way!" Xinyun suddenly started to look up and looked up at the door of the room that was always closed. She put her head close to Jiang Xiao's ear and whispered: "That beautiful girl... is your girlfriend?"
