2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

"With the name 'Jieke', you can understand that this is a hacker organization with information tentacles all over the world."

Yan Long handed the phone back and explained:

"This organization that suddenly emerged thirty years ago, when it first appeared, showed intelligence capabilities beyond the understanding of ordinary people, like a ghost floating over human society."

"Whether it is ordinary people or secret agents of certain countries, as long as they become awakened, they will be recorded and made public on the apps they develop. No matter what confidentiality measures are taken, they will be like transparent glass in front of the outsiders. , the information inside can be seen at a glance.”

"After the initial panic and uneasiness, people gradually discovered that Jie Ke did not abuse this information technology that was beyond the times. This organization seemed to be only interested in one thing, and that was to rank all the awakened people in the world. name."

"Just a ranking?" Yan Muyun blinked, suddenly feeling that this "world guest" was a bit cute.

It's a bit like a child becoming an emperor and ordering the world's literati to write him bedtime stories.

Yan Taki continued: "Jie Ke has listed two lists in total, namely the 'World List' and the 'Battle List'. The former is simply a ranking of supernatural powers, while the latter is a ranking of the alien species killed by the Awakened. Ranking conducted.”

"What's your rank on the world rankings?" Yan Muyun asked with great interest.

Yan Long thought for a while: "Probably more than 1.7 million."

"Hey, I have 970,000 yuan, which is higher than yours."

"970,000?" Yan Long picked up the kitchen knife again, turned around and cut the pork on the chopping board: "The starting point is the first 1 million. It seems that Jieke thinks highly of you."

"How old were you when you first started?"

"It was more than 20 million, and it gradually went up."

"Promoted by so much?" Yan Muyun was a little surprised.

"Even Jie Ke is not omniscient and omnipotent. Their ranking is mainly based on the current performance of your abilities."

"If a person has only used the power once, then the Jie Ke will only have one research sample. And when the person uses the power more and more times, the information obtained by the Jie Ke will be more comprehensive, so that the Jie Ke can draw more accurate conclusions. ranking."

Yan Taki put the chopped pork pieces in a bowl and washed his hands: "So in the first month after the awakened person has just entered the world rankings, if he often uses his powers, the change in ranking will be exaggerated. It may be from 1,000 to 1,000. It may jump from 10,000 to 100,000, or it may drop from 100,000 to 100 million.”

"What if you don't use your powers much?" Yan Muyun asked.

"If you don't use it, the ranking will basically not change. At most, it will fluctuate in the range of several thousand."

Yan Taki said calmly: "But as long as you use your superpower, no matter where you are or when, the Jieke will definitely know the effect of your superpower this time and adjust your ranking on the Jielist."

"It's a bit scary." Yan Muyun grinned.

This feeling is like having a pair of invisible eyes peeking into your life all the time.

"But to be honest, the effects of superpowers are all kinds of weird. No one knows what criteria Jie Ke bases his ranking on."

Yan Taki slashed with his knife, the chopping board made a muffled sound, and the whole chicken was divided into two halves:

"For example, some top-ranked abilities have almost no practical significance. It is not surprising that an awakened person ranked 100,000 is killed by an awakened person ranked 1 billion."

"So, looking at the 'World Ranking' is just for fun. If you really want to compare with someone, you have to look at the Battle Ranking?" Yan Muyun touched his chin.

Yan Taki stopped what he was doing and glanced sideways at him: "There is such a saying on the Internet, and the sentence structure is similar to what you said."

"It's been 30 years, but these are still the Internet buzzwords." Yan Muyun smiled.

Yantaki continued: "If no one knows the criteria for judging the world rankings, then the criteria for judging the 'battle rankings' are very simple and clear. It can be said that there are only two rules, the number of alien species killed, and the quality of the alien species killed. "

Yan Muyun clicked on the battle list page on his mobile phone, and the first thing that caught his eye was the system prompt box with a blue background and gold edges:

"You are currently not ranked on this list."

After he closed the prompt box, what caught his eye was the top twenty names on the battle list.

"Ranked No. 1, Hidden Dragon, superpower [Do not use]. S-level kills 5, A-level kills 319, B-level kills 1532, C-level... The name of this power is amazing. I can't see anything." Yan Muyun read the data in a low voice and marveled at the same time:

"Do these SABCs and so on refer to the kind of monsters we encountered during the day?"

"They are all alien species." Yan Long replied without looking back.

"This man is really awesome. In his life, besides eating and sleeping, he probably only has to kill aliens."

Yan Muyun closed the 'battle list' and reopened the 'realm list', wanting to see if the awakened people at the top were the same group of awakened people as the awakened people at the top of the battle list.

However, when he turned to the first page, he saw that the ranking displayed at the top was 10001, and it disappeared further up.

"Aren't you going to show the first 10,000 people?" Yan Muyun asked casually.

Yan Taki marinated the cut chicken, put it in the refrigerator, and replied: "It's not that I won't show it, but it's that the top ten thousand are not ranked."

"No ranking?"

"Yes, this is what one of the first 10,000 Awakened Ones said personally. As long as the ability exceeds 10,000 on the world list, it will be called 'one of the ten thousand arts', and the ranking is in no particular order."

For no apparent reason, Yan Muyun suddenly recalled what he had seen the moment before he fell into a coma thirty years ago.

...Zhang Yu's body was thrown up and down like a rag doll, and then the door opened, and his pale brother walked in from the outside...

"Is your dad one of the Ten Thousand Arts?"

"No, search for 'Newton'."

"Newton?"

"Buttons of buttons."

Yan Muyun entered these two words and quickly got the information he wanted.

Newton, with the ability [Gravity Field], is ranked 34872. Among the more than 400 million awakened people in the world, he is already at the top of the pyramid.

"He said he was a fake Newton, so he came up with this online name." Yan Long said calmly.

"It's quite like that boy's style." Yan Muyun smiled knowingly.

After saying this, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart.

Perhaps it was because he suddenly realized that the "boy" he called himself was 48 years old this year and was about to catch up with the age of his parents before he fell into coma.

In the living room outside the kitchen, there was a sudden sound of closing the door, as if someone had returned.

Yan Muyun put his cell phone in his pocket, turned around and walked out.

There was a middle-aged man standing at the entrance, wearing a crisp black suit and changing into slippers.

As if he noticed something, the man looked up, but his figure paused the next moment.

After a few seconds of silence, he rubbed the corners of his eyes:

"elder brother?"

His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of ruining some illusory dream.
