“Assistant slot? I have that?” Li Xiaoyin looked surprised.

“… Don’t tell me you didn’t read the things to take note of in the Supernatural Bureau? Besides, you can find out about this on the Internet.”

Zhang Xiao had a helpless look on his face. He really did not know what to say about Li Xiaoyin’s “unconcerned” behavior.

This slot was so precious, yet she did not care at all!

Zhang Xiao had no choice but to explain to the confused Li Xiaoyin.

There were many types of superpowers in the main world, but in a certain sense, they could be divided into two types of people.

One was a “Natural Superhuman” who had awakened, cultivated or was lucky enough to successfully mutate and produce his own abilities.

The other was to use genetic potions, mechanical prosthetics, and other methods to produce “artificial Supers.”

All the governments had a genetic potion industry that could strengthen the bodies of ordinary people to extraordinary levels. However, genetic potions were strictly controlled, and every portion was supervised. They were not circulated to the public and were generally digested internally. For example, they were used by law enforcement departments like the military and the police to strengthen themselves to become superhuman soldiers.

Ordinary people did not have the means to buy genetic potions.

However, after every newly awakened natural Super was registered, they would receive special treatment. They would be qualified to choose a person to be their assistant.

If the assistant they chose was an ordinary person, the Supernatural Bureau would open up a channel for genetic potions to allow said Super to buy one and strengthen this assistant to the level of a superhuman. In the future, the assistant would also become a “superhuman” recognized by the Supernatural Bureau and enjoy all kinds of treatment.

Generally speaking, every natural Superhuman only had one assistant, but the choice of assistant was almost arbitrary.

This meant that as long as the Super agreed, all ordinary people without criminal records were fair game.

This was also the most likely way for ordinary people to obtain the genetic potion.

Therefore, every Super’s assistant spot was a treasure that could not be bought with money. Countless rich people would wave their money around just to obtain a chance to become supernatural beings!

This could be a benefit for the Super to use for family or friends.

Or they could choose not to select an ordinary person but a “Super Soldier King” who had long been strengthened and had practiced a lot of military skills as his assistant.

However, Supers could also let others spend money to buy this spot, which would net them a sum. Although it was not recommended, it was still tacitly feasible. In any case, there was only one spot, and it could be handed over to Super to deal with on their own.

After hearing the explanation, Li Xiaoyin understood and blinked.

“So, you want to be my assistant and obtain a genetic potion to become a Super?”

Zhang Xiao nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I want to buy this spot.”

Li Xiaoyin chuckled. “Hey, with our relationship, what’s there to talk about buying or not?”

“That won’t do.” Zhang Xiao shook his head firmly. “Since we’re friends, I can’t let you suffer…”

After becoming a Super, he would not be short of money in the future. However, Li Xiaoyin had always been short of money in the past, and Zhang Xiao did not want to take advantage of his friends.

Actually, Zhang Xiao had limited money and was already prepared to borrow money to succeed in this deal.

Although his family ran a company, it was a large family, and he was a marginalized person within the family. His family had already arranged for him to work with other marginalized siblings in the future to help the real successor of the family and maintain and strengthen the family business.

They had to act according to the mood of those at the top, and most of their siblings accepted such an arrangement.

But Zhang Xiao was unwilling to do so. He was still a little ambitious. Compared to the living arrangements that could be seen at a glance, he wanted to find his own way out more, but he did not find any opportunities to break from his mold.

Now that he had discovered the opportunity to become a Super, he was naturally tempted.

“In that case…”

As Li Xiaoyin’s eyes darted around, she suddenly thought of something and hesitated.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao thought that Li Xiaoyin was worried about the money and immediately said, “The money will be paid according to the market price. Give me some time to gather it. I…”

Li Xiaoyin suddenly interrupted Zhang Xiao and shook her head. “It’s not about money. It’s just that… I don’t think you need this spot that much.”

Zhang Xiao was stunned, not knowing what she meant.

Li Xiaoyin thought for a moment and decided to be direct.

“We’ve been friends for so many years. I don’t want to beat around the bush, so I’ll just tell you the truth… Your family is quite rich. Whether you become a Super or not, your life is still not bad. I just feel that someone needs this spot more than you.”

Zhang Xiao sat there with his mouth agape.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyin turned to look at Xu Lingyun and snapped her fingers. “Bro, wanna be my assistant?”

Xu Lingyun had been silently watching the two of them communicate and did not feel that this matter had anything to do with him at all. At this moment, he got a rude shock.

“Hey, this Big Sister Yin, don’t cause trouble. Why are you suddenly talking about me? I didn’t say I wanted this spot!”

“Then you really don’t want it?” Li Xiaoyin raised her eyebrows.

Xu Lingyun pursed his lips and suddenly fell silent.

If one were to ask him if he wanted it, he would definitely want it. And he desired it more than anyone else.

Anyone would want a chance to become a supernatural being. As long as he became a Super, he would be able to get out of his current poor and desperate situation. His life would have hope.

However, after hearing Zhang Xiao explain the preciousness of the assistant slot, Xu Lingyun held back his desire. He knew that he could not afford it and was not worthy.
