He was somewhat dumbfounded—this is what they call earning retirement money? These guys probably have as much money as many of the wealthy!
Zhu Rong shrugged and sighed, "What can we do... financial crisis, economic downturn, inflation, gasoline prices are rising, even pork prices are rising! It hurts to even eat meat! How are we supposed to live like this? If we don't make some extra money, are we just going to starve to death? Humph, that deadbeat of mine doesn't have any other skills to support me. None of us know how to do business, we don't understand stocks or real estate, our only skill is this little talent. Robbing a bank is too low-class; becoming a bodyguard is too shameful. After thinking it over, I guess I'll just have to go into this line of work."
Chen Xiao almost laughed out of anger at her.
You bunch of people are still complaining about being poor? Is there no justice in this world...?
But Chen Xiao still shook his head, took a step back, and dodged Zhu Rong's arm: "Then I won't do it! I don't want to get involved in such complicated things. You guys are superheroes, I'm not! I'm different from you!"
"Hahahaha..." Zhu Rong pointed at Chen Xiao's nose: "Who said you are different from us? Little guy, don't you know your own abilities? I can see them at a glance."
As she spoke, she squinted at Chen Xiao and chuckled, "I could tell the moment I walked in today that you're a 'physical ability' user, right? Hmph, B-level strength is already pretty good, considered entry-level. It's just that it's still in an unstable state. Little guy, work hard, and when your abilities improve in the future, you might be absorbed into the organization. With an evolved being as young as you, you might become a regional manager when you're forty."
What 'physical fitness system'? B-level? Regional supervisor?
Zhu Rong glanced at Uncle Tian, and the two exchanged a look, as if to say: Should we do it or should we?
Uncle Tian shook his head slightly, and Zhu Rong sighed and muttered, "Always making me train newbies."
After saying that, she suddenly widened her eyes, reached into her pocket and pulled out a small, exquisite earpiece with a single eyeglass lens hanging on it.
"Put it on." Zhu Rong held up the small object and handed it to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, but Zhu Rong was already impatient. She grabbed Chen Xiao and pressed him down towards his eyes. This woman was incredibly strong! Chen Xiao was definitely not weak; after all, he had some training. But under this woman's grasp, he had no strength to resist at all. Although her arm was slender, its strength was like an iron clamp.
Without a word, she put the headset and lenses on Chen Xiao's face, and then quickly pressed lightly on the headset... Chen Xiao didn't dare to struggle anymore, he was afraid that this domineering woman would poke out his eyes with one finger!
He took two steps back, rubbed it hard, and looked up, and suddenly...
"Hu?!"
Chen Xiao was stunned!
A transparent frame, resembling a window, suddenly appeared in front of my left eye!
It was as if a string of cursors and characters were rapidly flowing by, and then, looking around, it seemed...
It's like the visual effects of robots in a science fiction movie!
Chen Xiao glanced around casually, and when his gaze landed on the smiling Uncle Tian, a series of cursor symbols appeared in the transparent window of his left eye. Various symbols flashed by quickly, and several cursors locked onto Uncle Tian's entire outline, then scanned him over and over again, as if scanning him.
Then, a string of characters and data flashed out at the bottom!
"Target Person Analysis and Positioning Description: Physical combat-type superhuman."
Real-time capability analysis:
Intelligence: Unknown (data is scarce)
Strength level, Grade C. (Average human limit, muscle contour scan, estimated maximum weight withstands twice the body weight.)
Speed level, Class C. (Exceeds normal human capabilities; muscle contour scan indicates a maximum speed limit of under 200 km/h.)
Endurance level, C grade. (Enhanced grade, having undergone reinforcement effects.)
Energy level, Class C. (An energy source has been detected within the target, expected to release a single burst of energy at close range within a short period.)
Combat skills, S-rank! (Proficient in two or more advanced fighting styles)
The above data is based on real-time detection; overall combat index: 470.
Enhancement/amplification: Unknown/Unclear…
Chen Xiao stared in disbelief. In his left eye, he saw various cursors flashing in the view frame, analyzing all of Uncle Tian's information in an instant. He was stunned for a good ten seconds before he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"ah!!"
Chen Xiao suddenly jumped back and instinctively covered his left eye.
My first thought was... could this be science fiction?!
What... what kind of glasses are these?!
Seeing Chen Xiao's shocked expression, Zhu Rong smiled, walked over, and before Chen Xiao could even look at her, she quickly pinched his face, swiftly removing the headset and glasses from his eyes, and laughed, "Little guy, now you know how powerful it is, right? Hehe... Hmph, this is the latest product. You know, the ordinary field personnel in the service agency are still using the old-fashioned external detectors! They're big and ugly, like wearing a small mask, so unsightly. This is the organization's latest product; only those high-ranking operatives with official numbers, and only old guys like us with connections, can get our hands on the latest model. It hasn't been widely deployed yet."
Ears, headsets...
Chen Xiao wasn't stupid. He immediately thought of the other service agency staff he'd encountered, whether it was Red Seven, Black Seven, or Black Three; they all seemed to be wearing the same headset!
Looking at the thin lens in Zhu Rong's hand, and the external device that was even smaller than a walkie-talkie headset... Chen Xiao swallowed hard.
This...this is just too outrageous!
How could such sophisticated instruments be packed into such a tiny thing?! Where are the circuit boards? Where is the current? Where are the data analysis calculations? Good heavens… is this alien technology?!
Compared to this, what kind of "ultra-thin laptops" on the market are they? What kind of "ultra-thin" are they anyway?
“You say you’re different from us? You’re wrong, little guy.” Zhu Rong said with a smile, “I just came in and saw you, and I immediately got the results of my tests. All your other stats are normal, and your combat skills are C-level, which means you seem to have received some basic combat training and are slightly above average. But, what a surprise! Your strength level is B-level! Even higher than Lao Tian! Generally, according to our grading standards, B-level means: beyond the limits of ordinary people! You look rather frail, but you seem to have quite a bit of strength…”
Strength...not bad...
Chen Xiao grinned bitterly.
This… suddenly I remembered… I overturned a car? Looks like I really was the one who overturned it!!!
Chapter 43 [There are immortals!]
Chen Xiao felt like his brain wasn't working properly...
