Chapter 35
He couldn’t take the sudden realization and needed some time before coming back to his senses.
“So… Brother Rui, you are also an Awakener?”
“Yes.”
Li Rui showed a charming smile on his face. ‘I finally managed to mentally disturb this fellow!’
Upon seeing his expression change, Li Rui counted a few seconds before asking: “Since you are talented, do you want to join the school team?”
“No! It’s so tiring, dirty, and disgustingly smelly. Plus, I will be beaten up so badly!”
Huang Juncai rejected him without any hesitation and his face truly showed that he was disgusted by the thought.
“Oh, forget it then. I was just about to tell you that the school team is very popular amongst the girls in school and wanted to give you a chance at it.”
Just as he was about to walk out of the room, Li Rui’s arm was forcefully pulled backward.
He turned around and saw that Huang Juncai was clinging onto his right arm. His face was glowing, and he had a serious look on it.
“Brother Rui! You are my father from now on!”
……
“So, you found a new Awakener?”
Wang Le, who was on the other end of the phone, felt that this was ridiculous.
He knew that Awakeners were not valued but he didn’t think that they were this valueless!
It seemed like now they were found everywhere on the street!
“Yeah, he’s a good friend of mine. Brother Lei, do you think you could help him with the registration?”
“Of course. I’m glad to be able to help!”
Because he was very interested in the supernatural power that Li Rui described, Wang Lei brought the two of them to the Transcendent’s Exchange Center in Shanghai.
The three of them came to a wide underground space through a special elevator that was in a humble-looking building.
The soft, bright light that shone in the room looked like it was illuminated by daylight and there were people walking everywhere that were dressed in strange costumes. Li Rui and Huang Juncai were dazzled like grandmas who were seeing the outside world for the first time.
“Stop staring at them like that. Their senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people, especially to sight. If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you might even get yourself in trouble because of this.”
Wang Lei whacked Huang JunCai’s head as he was busy staring at a beautiful lady that passed by.
The furious lady noticed Wang Lei who was standing next to Huang JunCai. A horrified look flashed through her eyes and she quickly lowered her head.
After noticing these details, Li Rui learned more about Wang Lei’s status in the Transcendent’s World.
Of course, it may be also because of the deterrent from his outer looks.
With someone leading them, Huang JunCai finished the procedures smoothly and had officially become an Awakener that was approved by the country.
As Huang JunCai received his smartphone, he was dancing around with excitement.
And Wang Lei, who was standing next to him, was reading through his report, and slowly rubbing his chin.
He had the ability of long-range attack and his potential assessment was graded A+ which was a relatively rare and powerful talent.
If this fellow became a killer in the future, he would definitely be a pain in the ass.
Just as he was imagining all these with excitement, a familiar figure approached him.
“I heard that you brought a wild Awakener with A+ Grade potential?”
Chao Zhi sounded anxious and immediately found Li Rui and Huang JunCai.
Li Rui’s potential assessment was S grade, so it was the yellow-haired boy that was standing next to him?
Chao Zhi immediately found his target.
“Yeah, that’s the kid. Why? What are you thinking?”
Wang Lei hit Huang JunCai’s head with the report file and asked while laughing.
“Anyone who is above B Grade should be given special attention. If they pass the political trial, I will definitely want them.”
Chao Zhi rolled his eyes and despised Wang Lei’s attitude of not knowing a hungry man’s hunger in this matter.
“Then you’ll have to ask for his opinion.”
Wang Lei carelessly shrugged his shoulders. He wasn’t very interested in people with pure offensive talents.
It was too partial and too brittle. These were the problems with independent viability and they would be extremely dependent on their teammates for protection.
These kinds of people were more suitable for official teams. The long-term training with their teammates would help them understand each other better in order for them to be protected during their long-range attacks.
In comparison, people like Li Rui who had no shortcomings would become very powerful people in the Trancendent’s World.
Other than that, those with very strong support skills were also very important.
Those with all sorts of weird support skills could sometimes even change the entire situation with their own strength.
As for Huang JunCai, he had obviously put all his attention towards offense.
“Little fellow, you’re Huang JunCai, right? I’m Chao Zhi, a manager in charge of managing the Transcendents in this country. Are you interested in joining us and becoming a glorious guardian for this country?”
Chao Zhi smiled and started explaining himself.
But after hearing him for some time, Huang JunCai looked at Li Rui.
“Brother Rui, you follow Brother Lei, right?”
“Yeah.”
After hearing Li Rui’s answer, a bad feeling came from the bottom of Chao Zhi’s heart.
“Since I follow you and you follow Brother Lei, I’ll follow Brother Lei too!”
“Hahahaha! Good taste, young fellow!”
Wang Lei’s gigantic fan-like palm was hitting Huang JunCai’s shoulder, which made him stagger.
“No one is following anyone. We’re all brothers and will be together for better or for worse.”
Wang Lei laughed as he patted his own chest. Although these words may not actually mean much, he was very sincere and convincing.
‘This was probably what they meant by having charisma…’ Li Rui thought to himself.
“Huang, are you really not going to consider it again? We are an institution that is approved by the country with insurance and funds…”
Chao Zhi did not give up and was still trying to convince Huang JunCai.
Although there had been an increase in the number of Awakeners, there weren’t many with A Grade potential. And the ones that he was actually interested in were getting less and less. However, these two standing right in front of him weren’t convinced and he was lost for words for the pain he was feeling deep inside.
“Thank you, Mr. Chao, for the offer.”
Huang JunCai bowed towards him while smiling. His polite reply had a clear message of rejection.
“Ay… Well, hopefully, you change your mind soon.”
Chao Zhi and Huang JunCai shook hands and left.
Then, Li Rui suddenly called him.
“Mr. Chao!”
“Yes? What’s the matter?”
Chao Zhi turned around and looked at him warmly.
He was very fond of this mature and polite young man.
“Is there any progress on the case?”
If he didn’t seek revenge, then he wouldn’t be considered a gentleman. Li Rui was still waiting for the day that he could personally kill the person behind this.
“Umm….”
A sense of embarrassment flashed across Chao Zhi’s face and he was silently cursing at Zhang Ming who was in charge of the case.
They had invested so much manpower in it and they only managed to capture a few irrelevant people. What was the use?
Upon seeing the embarrassment on Chao Zhi’s face, Wang Lei immediately tried to smooth things over.
“Those who breed spirits are usually hidden underground. Although it’s not difficult to kill them, it may be difficult to find them. The intelligence network on my side is also looking for them. If you find anything, give us an update.”
“Great. You are more connected underground. I’ll ask Zhang Ming to contact you later. He’s in charge of the case for now.”
Chao Zhi let out a breath of relief as they dismissed the conversation.
