The world enters the age of myth

"If you need to judge the strength of superpowers, you need to design a new numerical system. Its name is 'mental strength'. The higher the mental strength, the stronger the superpower. This is also the research direction I am currently responsible for."

"I see." Lu Yiming smiled and nodded, "So is there any progress in your research direction?"

"Of course, how could I be eating nothing all day long? Soon you will see a serious device for measuring the strength of superpowers."

The two of them chatted about related topics, and the time they spent with the beautiful girl always seemed very short.

Especially when this girl is still a real girlfriend, it seems very meaningful for everyone to share the progress of society and the fruits of recent labor.

Lu Yiming didn't have many opportunities to tease her this time. The two of them just chatted about serious topics.

After all...this big breakthrough is so important!

It probably means the question of whether the humans on the Unkai can survive in the dark night!

After dinner, Jin Lili took Lu Yiming to the laboratory to measure the "ether value". This is also a task that every superpower must complete. Only by formalizing, specializing, and streamlining the entire development system can the development of superpowers be continuously improved and no longer limited to the surface.

"The laboratory has changed a lot, and many new machines have been added."

The method of measuring "ether value" is very strange. At the top of this machine is an instrument that looks like a large thermometer, with various colorful solutions inside. Fluctuations in the ether value will cause subtle rise and fall changes in the solution.

It is said that some of the solutions in the instrument were extracted from the corpses of faceless women and hanged ghosts... Well, these corpses are still put to use, even if the method of use sounds scary, they are still useful. It comes in handy.

"It's a good thing." Lu Yiming shook his head and threw these random thoughts behind his head.

Jin Lili put a hood on his head.

"You need to imagine, let your imagination run wild, and let your brain waves change."

"Is it okay to do whatever you want?"

"Yes, it's better to let your imagination run wild and imagine."

Lu Yiming stared at her face and couldn't help but start thinking about some erotic things. Well... After not seeing each other for more than half a month, her figure seemed to have changed again? My face looks thinner, but my breasts have gotten bigger. How did you do it?

Jin Lily seemed to have guessed what Lu Yiming was thinking, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

There were other staff in this place, and it was impossible to flirt in public, so she could only roll her eyes constantly.

"Ahem...then calm down your thoughts and enter a meditative state. It's best not to think about anything and calm down your thoughts."

Lu Yiming sat upright, trying to calm down all the desires in his heart.

"2115... Your ether value is 0.5 percentage points higher than the normal human range. However, it should be normal for you. After all, you have absorbed so many soul fragments, which cannot be compared with ordinary people. .”

"Use your superpowers and see."

Lu Yiming transferred his thoughts to the glass ball in front of him.

Soon, this machine made a beeping alarm sound, so that all the other workers in the same room looked over.

"Give up using your superpowers."

"Use your powers again."

This was repeated several times, and the measurement of the ether value was completed.

Jin Lili showed a slightly surprised expression: "The ether value...1109232, seven digits? How strange, we seem to have never measured such a large ether value. Well, your super power is indeed quite complicated. It has never been measured before. I have never seen one so high, maybe it means something to a certain extent..."

The ether value is equivalent to a superpower's license plate number. Others basically have five digits, but a seven-digit number pops up, which is indeed quite rare.

"Really?" Lu Yiming laughed, "More than one million ether values, it would be great if it represented strength."

"The beauty of thinking is that it is just a characteristic value, which is equivalent to an identity number. If the ether values ​​are similar, it means they are of the same origin and there is a possibility of mutual assimilation."

"Of course, in addition to the ether value, there are actually several other parameters...The next step is the protracted battle. If we figure out these parameters, this supernatural discipline will shine."

"Really?" Lu Yiming smiled. He suddenly stood up, walked to Jin Lili, and patted her head: "Then when will you rest? As a normal human being, you always need to rest. It's getting late. , it’s already eight o’clock. Even if you have been transformed with X potion and your body has been strengthened a lot, you still can’t work endlessly.”

Jin Lili heard his subtext and said with a little distress: "Today... No, Sister Yuan has been urging me. You have brought back so many new and strange things, there are a lot of things to do. Especially , since you are leaving in a few days, we have to get the results out as soon as possible. So Sister Yuan’s work form has been drawn up, and it might be already one o’clock in the morning, or two o’clock in the morning, when you get home. It’s time. You can only sleep alone today!”

She looked at the surrounding staff who didn't notice her, and said softly: "Be good, this time you have been off for so many days, will you have time one day?"

"Where can I...well, after all, business matters are more important." Lu Yiming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But I will sleep in your room today, and I feel that I can sleep better in that room."

Time is indeed very tight. According to expectations, the expedition team will restart in 5 days, and Lu Yiming will definitely start again. Therefore, scientists must analyze the ether values ​​of various strange objects during this period of time, or conduct other research.

At least we need to figure out which kind of residual is easy to use and has high value, so we can collect more of it, and which kind is of low value and there is no need to collect too much.

I felt a little unhappy because I couldn't play at night, but I could only accept the result.

Everyone is so urgent, which may be a bit cruel to individuals, but it is indeed a good thing for the whole. Individual interests and collective interests are sometimes contradictory... These workers have paid so much, but They enjoy very little.

In addition, there is an expectation in his heart...Humans, hurry up and become stronger.

In this way, without the long-awaited entertainment activities, Lu Yiming could only come out of the laboratory and return to the community.

He and his parents watched TV shows all night and gossiped about some neighborhood gossip.

Sometimes I'm quite happy.

I took the time to check out my cousin Ye Qingqing, her new boyfriend, a college student who seemed pretty smart.

As a college student, it is normal to fall in love.

When the boy saw Lu Yiming, he seemed to be seeing someone worshiping an idol. He was a little at a loss and confused. This made Lu Yiming quite embarrassed. He asked a few questions and stopped interfering.

After all, it's Ye Qingqing's own business to decide what kind of boy she likes. As long as a boy's personal moral character is not too bad, his cousin has no right to make irresponsible remarks...

Introverted boys are actually okay, and Lu Yiming himself is actually an introvert.

He still doesn't like human interaction.

Both of them are biology majors, and the current biology major is slowly developing towards paranormal discoveries. With the introduction of the "ether theory", this major naturally has a bright future. As long as you work hard enough, finding a good job will not be a problem.

Everyone has their own life, but obviously, the pace of life of ordinary people is always slower than that of them.

Maybe, this is also a good thing...

"Lu Yiming, help, help me!" A message from Zhong Peng suddenly came on the phone.

"What are you doing?"

"It's a date. I don't know what to say. We started chatting awkwardly. How about you come over and be a lightbulb? I'll treat you to a midnight snack."

"Gan!"

In front of his eyes, Zhong Peng had a stiff, zombie-like expression when he was dating a plump girl... Deep in his heart, he wanted to kill her on the spot, but his movements were trembling. Weiwei, even speaking trembled.

Zhong Peng is such a fool!

"You can't even speak. You are really a...talent!" Lu Yiming scratched his head and smiled bitterly.

He can't pick up girls now, which is not very satisfying in itself, but he still has to worry about the life events of his gay friends. It's really like no one else.

…

Five days later.

"The second team, the third team, and the fourth team arrived at the target area."

"Preparations for trading supplies are in place."

"The personnel arrangements are ready!"

"Last inspection...begin!"

Since the expedition team returned to the Unkai, time has flown by again. Five days have passed quickly, and it’s time to start again.

However, the number of people setting off this time has slightly expanded, to a total of 300 people, and the number of people in the team has also changed slightly.

Among the soldiers in the queue, at least 50% of them were replaced, and some newbies were replaced. It is impossible for the same group of people to carry out such high-risk tasks all the time, otherwise even soldiers with a strong will can easily be overwhelmed by high-intensity pressure.

"...Theoretically, in future missions, 3,000 elite soldiers will be rotated. After all, this is a long-term project. If everyone takes turns, it will not be so strenuous. Now, if veterans lead new recruits, if they meet someone We can easily bear some risks without making too many mistakes.”

In addition, there are twenty or thirty more scientific research experts in the team this time. They want to further investigate whether the "Grudge World" is suitable for large-scale settlement of the population, how much potential it can tap, etc. …

Various situations that have not yet been understood will be solved in all aspects during this inspection.
