Astral Apostle

   Chapter 23 Powers

   Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao stopped bickering and looked at Li Xiaoyin in surprise.

   "Don't you believe it?" Li Xiaoyin raised her eyebrows.

  Xu Lingyun pondered for a few seconds, then raised his hand to probe Li Xiaoyin's forehead: "Burn?"

   "Go play with eggs." Li Xiaoyin slapped his hand away angrily.

   Zhang Xiao looked shocked: "It's too sudden, I'm not mentally prepared at all..."

   Zhou Jing scratched his forehead: "It's a bit of an accident...but I believe it."

  Li Xiaoyin immediately smiled happily, slammed the table, and said boldly:

   "It has to be my Jingjing, who trusts me so much."

   "Don't always call me that, it's weird..."

   Zhou Jing was helpless.

   The news really surprised him, but he didn't believe it. After all, something more wonderful happened to him, such as the shuttle between the stars.

   So Zhou Jing's ability to accept is now unprecedentedly strong. Even if the Interstellar Coalition Government announces the disintegration tomorrow, he feels like a dead fish's eye.

   But you have to ask carefully, what exactly is going on...

   Just before the three of them could ask questions, Li Xiaoyin said it generously:

"I can't remember what date it came a few days ago. I woke up early in the morning and had super powers for no reason. I almost blew up the house I rented, attracting people from the Super Energy Bureau. They said that I woke up and lost control of Barabara's , and then took me to do the test, asked me to register as a power user, and I didn't get the official documents until yesterday... Let me show you."

  Li Xiaoyin took out a tattered small wallet covered with cute stickers from his pocket, and inside it was a group photo of four children. In the photo, they looked like the four children present.

   She took out a card with silver characters on a black background from her purse and slapped it on the table. Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao curiously looked at it.

   Zhou Jing also glanced at it and compared it with the style of the power user's certificate found on the Internet.

   Hmm...a very serious certificate format, name, date of birth, registration time, and a big head sticker with the stamp of the Super Energy Bureau in the background, not a fake certificate.

  Super Energy Bureau, the official name is "Super Energy Management and Control Bureau", an agency directly under the Interstellar Union Community, whose responsibility is to coordinate the management of superpower users of all civilizations and solve all kinds of superpower out of control problems.

   No matter whether it is awakened or mutated, any power user will only be officially certified as a "power user" and receive due treatment, rights, subsidies, etc. only if he is registered with this institution.

   In each member state, there are branches of the Super Energy Bureau to facilitate the management of super users of various nationalities.

In the current era, superpowers are not uncommon. Ordinary people can see them show their prowess in superpower leagues, or track and follow the social media where they share their lives online, but there are few opportunities for personal contact in life. Power users are a relatively closed ecological circle to outsiders.

   For civilians, the world of the power user is separated by a layer of gauze, which can be vaguely seen, but difficult to touch. During the period when superpowers are not in the public eye, it is difficult for ordinary people to know what they are doing.

   'The information about the power user that I have learned so far is all collected from the Internet. Some deep things can't be found. Maybe you can ask Xiaoyin...'

   Zhou Jing moved in his heart.

   The social ecology of the power user group can only be fully understood by those who have experienced it personally. He has never had a way to inquire, and now there is a person who knows how to do it... Although it is only a newbie at present.

   Speaking of which, he is still working hard to become a power user, and Li Xiaoyin naturally awakened, and became directly... Zhou Jing has no other emotions and has a peaceful mind.

   already has the potential to travel across the astral world that is difficult to assess, so why not a bicycle.

   Besides, he was also happy to be small.

   Among the four of them, Zhang Xiao's family is the best, and his family runs a company. Although he is not very popular with his family, he is relatively marginalized, but he is not lacking in material things.

   And although Xu Lingyun had a rough life, but if it is more miserable, this Li Xiaoyin is the real heavyweight.

  Li Xiaoyin is a true orphan without father and mother. She grew up in a nursing home. When she was at the age of school, she entered the school ignorantly, but she was always bullied by ignorant little kids.

   laughed at her for not having a father or mother, and would hide her schoolbag between classes, throw it in the men’s toilet, and even tear up her textbook full of study notes.

   But even though he had a miserable life and faced various difficulties, Li Xiaoyin was not affected. He faced everything with a smile and developed a forthright and cheerful temperament.

  ——After all, after beating up all the people who bullied him, there is nothing to be depressed about.

Especially the boy who tore up her textbook, Li Xiaoyin kicked the door and broke into the classroom during class, dragged him from his seat all the way into the women's bathroom, and spoke very kindly amid the boy's piercing cries. The reasoning made him deeply reflect on his mistakes, and he was so ashamed that he didn't go back to school for half a month.

  Li Xiaoyin grew up with bumps and bumps. She has always lived alone, and her financial situation is not well-off.

Now that she has become a power user, she will no longer have to worry about her livelihood in the future. The allowance from the Super Power Bureau alone can make her food and clothing worry-free, which is much better than now. Happy.

   At this moment, Xu Lingyun suddenly pointed to a certain column of the certificate and said curiously:

   "Hey, what do you write on it is the preparation of superpowers?".

   "Yeah, I haven't taken the exam yet, of course I'm preparing."

  Li Xiaoyin's tone was natural and explained.

  There are various super power systems in the world, each with its own way of cultivation, each set has its own standard for dividing the realm, and even some super powers, which cannot even be practiced and developed.

   Therefore, in order to facilitate statistics and management, the Interstellar United Community does not divide the strength of power users according to the realm of any system, but allows power users to test their own grades!

  The Super Energy Bureau stipulates the strength level of power users at all levels, regardless of what ability a person has, as long as the strength reaches the corresponding level indicators, and through relevant assessments, they can be assigned to different levels.

The higher the    level, the better the various benefits.

   The current power user level system is divided into seven levels, each with different badges and names, but most people call them by numbers for convenience.

   Level 1 and Level 2 belong to the grassroots level, Level 3 and Level 4 belong to the backbone, the actual strength is already amazing, and Level 5 and above belong to the category of high-level power users.

   As for the peak seventh-level power user, even in today's civilization's total population of trillions, there are only a few dozen people.

   The power users who have just registered, because they didn't have time to take the exam, they are all preparatory grades, and only have the most basic treatment. This is the case with Li Xiaoyin.

   "It turns out that..."

   Zhang Xiao was stunned, shook his double chin, and was curious: "Then what ability do you have? What level do you think you can achieve?"

  Xu Lingyun rubbed his stubble with a serious analysis:

   "Xiaoyin...Oh no, Sister Yin! You are usually so violent...I mean you can fight, so you shouldn't have awakened with superpowers like infinite power?"

   Hearing this, Zhang Xiao nodded fiercely and agreed: "Maybe like a super league player, he can directly transform into a gorilla beast!"

   "Yes, yes, this ability is tailor-made for Sister Yin!" Xu Lingyun gave a thumbs up.

   "...Do you two want to loosen the skin?"

  Li Xiaoyin's eyes twitched, her fists clenched, and her knuckles crackled.

   Zhou Jing smiled and interjected: "So I'm curious about your abilities."

   "Yes, I'm not kidding anymore." Xu Lingyun waved his hand, his unshaven face was full of interest: "Sister Yin, show your hands and open your eyes to the brothers."

   "Well... The Super Energy Bureau asked me to sign a lot of agreements, one of which is that in non-essential circumstances, the use of abilities in daily life is not recommended, and allowances must be deducted."

  Li Xiaoyin blinked.

   Zhang Xiao hurriedly said: "Then don't use it here, you can't be implicated in deducting money."

   Hearing this, Li Xiaoyin raised her eyebrows, showing a smile that didn't mind, and waved her hand:

   "Hey, no matter what agreement he made, since the brothers want to see it, I'll use it for a little bit, just a little money, I can deduct it if I like it!"

After   , she didn't wait for the three of them to continue asking questions, she just raised a finger and tapped it carefully on the table.

  Poof.

   Centered on the contact point between the fingertip and the desktop, a faint white air wave suddenly burst out.

The force of    was very light, and the dishes and cups on the table jumped at the same time and were pushed outwards.

  Two dishes still fell, but fortunately Zhou Jing responded quickly and caught them quickly.

  Li Xiaoyin raised his eyebrows proudly: "I'm not skilled yet, and I can't control my power very well, but fortunately I didn't break anything... How is it, do you understand?"

  Xu Lingyun blinked, hesitated for a while, nodded and said:

   "I see, your ability is to fart with your fingers."

   "Go away." Li Xiaoyin laughed and scolded: "It's releasing a shock wave, you stupid!"

   "That's right, farts aren't that strong, unless they're a little thin." Xu Lingyun agreed.

   Zhou Jing couldn't help but interrupt: "You can't get along with shit, right? I suspect that you are deliberately affecting our appetite, so that you can grab it later."

   "Hey, are you so smart today?"

   Xu Lingyun was surprised.

   Zhou Jing held his forehead, not wanting to continue to stray on this dirty topic.

   Having said that, the ability to release shock waves, as long as the intensity increases, it seems to be quite fierce.

   With his eyesight from watching the Super League for many years, this is probably a style of great power?

   He turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyin, and said thoughtfully: "Your ability should be quite powerful. As long as you develop it well and increase the strength, the destructive power will be amazing."

   "Yes, yes, I think so too!" Li Xiaoyin nodded excitedly.

   "Furthermore, you are obviously a destructive ability of the energy release type. It is more than enough to get involved in the Super League, and maybe you will become a star player at that time."

"That's right!"

   "If you don't want to play in the Super League, it's a good choice to join the Super League directly. If you get a half-officer, then you can start a career."

"Yeah!"

  “…”

   Zhou Jing looked at Li Xiaoyin who nodded in agreement, and was a little speechless.

   "You haven't thought about it at all, what will you do after you have superpowers?"

  Li Xiaoyin scratched her head embarrassedly, her eyes narrowed, and she showed a bright smile like a silly dog: "I've been here to share the good news with you, and I haven't thought about it carefully."

   "...Still so carefree."

   Zhou Jing was helpless and couldn't help but smile again.

   Nowadays, countries are developing interstellar space. Although there are some frictions, they are all small problems. Power users have no use. If they want to play their abilities in battle, they can only go to the super league. It is a legal arena, and it is also the most popular program. Once you become famous, you can also become a star player. There are various bonuses such as advertising endorsements and acting invitations. It is a popular choice for power users to find employment.

   While the rest of the employment directions are rich in choices, they are generally similar to ordinary people, except that the pay is better, the form of work is somewhat different, and it is more sought-after.

As far as Zhou Jing's information is concerned, today is a peaceful era, and materially it can barely be called a peaceful and prosperous world. Except for dealing with some terrorists and illegal super-power organizations, the combat power of super-power users is not very necessary, even Interstellar. Development and interstellar exploration also rarely use superpowers, so "management" is greater than "utilization".

   Most of the time, even the superpowers are just ordinary members of the society. Although they are not rushing for life, they are not doing whatever they want. The legal system is still more than everything.

  Li Xiaoyin can release shock waves. In terms of function, it seems to be much more powerful than the alien blood warrior system in the alien beast world. After all, the physical enhancement class is still a bit monotonous.

   But Zhou Jing is not discouraged, the alien blood warrior system is the only extraordinary power that is currently available, enough to make himself a power user and meet the needs of the plan.

   He is not serious about comparisons, and he never dislikes what he can use just because others have better ones, not to mention that Li Xiaoyin is his best friend.

   Besides, in the long run, there are infinite possibilities to travel through the astral world. As long as you explore by yourself, you will have the opportunity to discover more extraordinary powers.

   At this moment, Zhang Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and said something that made everyone stunned:

   "It is said that every self-awakened power user will get an assistant quota after registration, and has the right to purchase a genetic medicine for the selected assistant to use... Xiaoyin, why don't you sell this quota to me?"
