Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 725 Classification of ability users
"This person...is..."

It wasn't until the figure of the woman disappeared completely that Kong Zhe heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Lei Yun and asked.

Lei Yun glanced at him, sighed, and nodded to him.

"As you can imagine, she is one of the three new kings in the organization, the Queen of Virgins."

"really……"

Kong Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, the initial meeting with this 'old acquaintance' just now passed safely.

"Then, what is her status in the organization?"

It stands to reason that Lei Yun, the great elder, is the No. 1 in the organization besides the hall master, but the woman just now didn't seem to have any respect for him, and she even had a slight tendency to attack in her speech and behavior. This is by no means the attitude a subordinate should have towards his boss.

This point can also be seen from the mysterious conversation between the two just now.

"Identity...it's hard to say..."

"Why, what kind of elder is she?"

"It's not."

Lei Yun shook his head and explained: "She, including the remaining two kings, the three of them were just ordinary rookies in the organization before they got the ring of kings. The status in the organization is actually pretty low."

"Oh? Then why..."

"Why is the status so low, but in the end you can get the ring of the king, right?"

"Yes."

Kong Zhe nodded, this is exactly what he wanted to ask.Now that he has learned that capable people can also become kings, and the status of capable people and awakened people in the organization is clear, the organization and training of this group of awakened people may be just for emergencies, after all, the time for awakened people to appear is relatively short , loyalty, and intelligence are difficult to cultivate.

That being the case, why didn't they give up the chance to become kings to those with more powerful abilities in the king's trial?

For example, Lei Yun, and other elders—the ones who were selected for the King's Trial were those who thought about their strength, and Kong Zhe didn't believe that none of these people who could have the title of elder would be able to enter the King's Trial, except for Lei Yun.

Lei Yun smiled wryly: "This matter is actually very understandable. On the one hand, after being a king, you will inevitably have to deal with other kings outside the organization. Of course, this status is more convenient for the awakened ones. On the other hand, recently There is a faint trend of cultivating newcomers and suppressing old people."

"Suppression of the elderly?"

Kong Zhe frowned, a little puzzled.

Why bother?This is not a replacement of old and new in factories and enterprises, but a killer organization.For the identity of a killer, the old man will be more loyal than the newcomer, and the experience in dealing with things will be more mature.In this case, shouldn't the elderly be valued more?Why did he give the important status of king to several newcomers instead?

"Well, it's a long story... This involves the classification system for capable users..."

Lei Yun exhaled, took out the cigarette case, flicked a cigarette out and put it in his mouth.With a rubbing of the fingers, a small thunder flashed, and the next second the cigarette butt was naturally lit.

Lei Yun took a long breath of smoke, as if he was going to make a long speech.

"Uh, you... don't smoke here?"

Kong Zhe was stunned, how could he remember that when he entered the door just now, he seemed to see a no-smoking sign at the door.

"No, of course. The rules in the organization are strict. Smoking is even more strictly prohibited. Once caught by the duty officer, you will be severely punished."

Lei Yun smiled, and changed his voice: "However, I am on duty today, so it doesn't matter."

"Uh……"

Kong Zhe gave a dry laugh, knowingly breaking the law if he dared to do so.

"What? Do you want one? This cigarette is very expensive..."

As Lei Yun said, he handed over the cigarette case and motioned him to take one.

"Oh... I don't need it."

Kong Zhe waved his hand with a dry smile.Although he occasionally smokes, he doesn't have any addictions. At most, he smokes one or two cigarettes occasionally when he is thinking about problems.What's more, now it's in the enemy's stronghold, how can there be any mood to smoke leisurely?

"You can take it if you don't smoke it."

Lei Yun shook his head, and directly stuffed the entire cigarette case into Kong Zhe's chest pocket.

"Lei Er is a smoker himself, you should pack a box of cigarettes with you, so as not to be seen later."

"so……"

Kong Zhe nodded without refusing.

The three of them continued to walk along this quiet corridor to the depths of the palace.Lei Yun took advantage of this time to slowly talk to Kong Zhe about the secrets of ability users.

"The so-called ability users can be roughly divided into five levels. The first is the three basic levels of junior high school and high school. Elementary ability users refer to those who have just acquired the ability, but are not yet able to use it proficiently, or cannot control the power freely when using it. people."

"for example?"

"For example... the fire man and rain woman you met before, they are people of this level."

"Fire Man... Rain Girl..."

Kong Zhe muttered, and he immediately recalled the already somewhat vague memory.

It was during the time when he suffered from the prophecy of death. On the way to the new city, there were indeed two people who opposed him.It's just that the strength of these two people is not strong, and they both died in his hands in the end.

"It's them."

Lei Yun took a breath, nodded, and then explained: "Strictly speaking, this kind of ability users are still in the entry stage of ability users, and they can't bring out the true potential of their abilities. It may be okay to deal with ordinary people, but once When you meet a real master, you will immediately reveal your true colors."

"On top of the elementary ability users, there are intermediate and advanced ability users respectively. The ability users at these two stages can already use their abilities freely. The development of abilities has also been on the right track. With the number of exercises Their strength will go through a period of rapid improvement until they reach a bottleneck."

"And this bottleneck is the watershed between advanced ability users and the next level—mutation ability users."

"Mutations?"

Kong Zhe couldn't help frowning when he heard this word.

Could it be that after the strength of the ability user is improved, it will transform into other abilities?
"It's a mutation. But it's not a mutation of change, but a mutation of sublimation."

Lei Yun took a deep breath, and within a short time, he had sucked a cigarette to the bottom.

With a slight flick of his finger holding the cigarette, the cigarette butt with sparks traced a perfect parabola and fell accurately into the trash can beside the road.

"The ability of the ability user will not change into anything else, but it can be upgraded within the scope of the same ability, which is a bit similar to the improvement of your awakened person's skill level. It's just that what you get after the ability upgrade is all-round benefits , It is much stronger than the skills of your awakened ones."

"To give a simple example, such as the 'mind reading' in the basic ability, in the initial stage of ability, the mind reader has a certain probability of reading other people's inner thoughts. But this ability actually has many limitations, the first is the distance , if the target is too far away, it will not be effective. Secondly, it can only read the inner monologue of the target at that time. If the target is not thinking at the time, then naturally nothing can be read. Or, the target deliberately thinks about some wrong things, and finally It might even read misleading information."

"Oh?"

Kong Zhe couldn't help touching his chin.

Regarding the matter of the mind reader, Xiaoyu even mentioned it once when they were discussing the plan in the Fox God Palace yesterday.It's just that there wasn't much time at that time, and she didn't say anything in detail. She only said that they had a way to deal with mind readers and could guarantee that they would not be read by them, but she didn't explain the specific principle.

But now Lei Yun's explanation happened to solve this problem for him.

Beside, Lei Yun's explanation continued.

"Of course, this refers to elementary mind readers. As the ability improves from elementary to advanced, the restrictions on the ability of mind readers will gradually become less and less, and the range of mind reading that can be greatly improved. The rate will also drop sharply, and it will be raised to the top stage, and even be able to get rid of the limitations of the target's thinking at the time, and actively search for the information you want from the target's memory."

"And when the mind-reading ability reaches the pinnacle of advanced ability users, which is the watershed of mutation, mind-readers have the opportunity to sublimate and become 'mind controlers'."

"Mind control? Does this mean..."

Kong Zhe frowned suddenly. If he really thought what he thought, then this ability is too heaven-defying, right?
"That's right. A mind controller, as the name suggests, is one who can use his own mind to control other people's thinking and at the same time manipulate other people's actions."

Lei Yun breathed out, subconsciously took out the cigarette case and wanted to light another cigarette, but looked down at the cigarette case, he hesitated for a few seconds, finally shook his head and gave up the move.

He looked at Kong Zhe and explained: "You should have watched the famous film and television X-Men, right? Professor X in it probably feels like that..."

Kong Zhe nodded solemnly, Lei Yun gave a very vivid example.But if it is really as described in the movie, then this ability is a bit too powerful, and it can be called impossible to guard against.

"Unexpectedly, the seemingly ordinary mind-reading ability can be transformed into one of the most frightening abilities after being upgraded."

Lei Yun shook his head and smiled: "This is the power of mutation... In fact, not just mind reading, but any other ability will get a qualitative leap after mutation. Therefore, once you can break through to a high-level ability user, reach The level of the mutated ability user and the combat effectiveness of the ability user will be doubled immediately."

"Oh?"

Kong Zhe nodded slightly.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked an essential question: "Then, how many mutants are there in the organization now?"

Since Lei Yun described the ability to mutate so powerfully, there should not be many people who have reached this level. Otherwise, the Temple of the Sun should have unified the world long ago, so why have they been dormant in this remote alien world for so many years?
"Don't worry, those with mutation ability are strong, but there are not many in the organization."

Sure enough, Lei Yun smiled and relieved Kong Zhe's worries as soon as he opened his mouth.
