Chapter 264: Savage “Native” (2)

The cultivation path of superpowers was actually quite simple in general. It was to increase the strength, develop the usage, and increase control. Most superpowers trained in these three directions before developing the overall qualities, such as release speed, cooldown time, distance, and so on.

“Release a close-range attack…”

Zhou Jing muttered softly.

If that terrifying shock wave was compressed and erupted in a small area, without any loss, it would enter the enemy’s body directly…

The image of a human body exploding like a balloon appeared in Zhou Jing’s mind, and he shivered.

This was what it meant to die when touched and be injured when grazed?

Zhou Jing could not help but send a message over,

“Yin, promise me. If you master this move, please try it on Lin Kun first.”

“That goes without saying!”

In the next few days, Zhou Jing and the others attended classes, took his special one to one mentoring treatment, and trained every day. The days were simple and fulfilling, as if he had returned to a life of being a model student. He felt as though he were a sponge, were absorbing nutrition every day and growing every day.

Soon, the academy’s hidden course, Explorer Training, finally welcomed its first class.

Zhou Jing and the other three walked into the classroom and saw many familiar faces at a glance. Many of the new supers with high potential had come. They were all new students who had signed a treaty and agreed to become reserve explorers.

“The number of people in this class is not small.” Zhang Xiao clicked his tongue.

“If I really become an Explorer in the future, I might be able to meet someone I know in the other world.” Xu Lingyun was excited and had a sudden sense of yearning for the other world.

Zhou Jing however did not add on to Zhang Xiao’s comment. After observing the surroundings, he realized that the chuunibyou youth, Tang Liu, was not present. Those who came were basically all adults.

After waiting for a while, a tall figure walked in and slowly walked to the podium. It was actually Vice President Shen Xinqin!

The students below stirred slightly.

Shen Xinqin looked at everyone with a smile and raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.

“Everyone should know me. I’m the deputy dean of the Scarlet Academy, but I’m also an official member of the Exploration Bureau. I have a military rank and have once served in many dimensions. I’ll be taking the class this semester.”

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. Countless curious gazes gathered on her.

Zhou Jing’s heart skipped a beat.

With the combat strength of a Rank 5 Super, she had actually also served in a different dimension. However, it was probably not the Astral Realm where the Mutant World was located…

“This is everyone’s first time coming into contact with the profession of alternate world exploration. Today’s class is mainly to let everyone have a proper understanding of this.”

Shen Xinqin operated the controls on the podium a few times, and the screen behind immediately revealed the scene of today’s lesson.

She tapped her fingers on the screen before looking up at the curious faces.

“The history of alternate world exploration goes back hundreds of years. Only when scientists discovered the truth of the world where planes intersected did we know about the world beyond the universe.

Scientists developed all kinds of technology and mapped the patterns of the confluence of planes for decades. With the birth of the shuttle device, the exploration of the alternate world was officially launched. The profession of explorer was thus born. In order to manage it, the Exploration Bureau of the various countries was established one after another.”

The people below the stage listened attentively.

However, from the first sentence, Zhou Jing felt that something was wrong. He felt that some key elements were missing.

Scientists discovered the intersection of planes… but they were still scientists from a certain country, right?

He felt that any country who made the discovery would probably not share such a major discovery easily.

The sentence “The exploration bureau of the various countries is established one after another” seemed normal, but there might be a huge amount of information lost in between…

However, Shen Xinqin had no intention of explaining in detail. She only brushed it off and continued.

“The Interstellar Joint Government has planned the basic principles of alternate realms exploration. It mainly focuses on lurking and exploring, as well as establishing friendly contact. It can interfere with the development of the alternate realms to a certain extent, but it cannot take the lead. It has to try its best to hide its activities in the other party’s history.

The Exploration Bureau basically abided by these basic principles, but in terms of specific actions, the ideas of the Exploration Bureau were not uniform. Sometimes, they would work together, and sometimes, there would be conflicts. However, they did not always live in harmony… While the explorers of the various countries adhered to the exploration principles, they mainly focused on the interests of their own Exploration Bureau. Occasionally, there would be bloodshed.

I understand everyone’s curiosity about the exploration of the alternate world, but I have to make everyone understand the risks and understand that this is not a profession that only exists as a fantasy.”

When everyone heard this, they quickly calmed down.

Zhang Xiao blinked and muttered, “Why does it sound so similar to an agent?”

“It feels like you’re an agent, but the target is another world.” Xu Lingyun replied in a low voice.

At this moment, Shen Xinqin looked around at everyone and spoke solemnly.

“Moreover, the challenges faced by explorers are not limited to this. Due to the restrictions of the shuttle device to transport resources, explorers often have to face the pressure of survival in other worlds.

In fact, one might even get into a conflict with the natives during the mission.

One should not underestimate the natives of other worlds. Some of the worlds also possess superpowers. If you’re not careful, you might die in an unfamiliar world.

For example, nearly half a year ago, there was a primitive civilization plane that intersected with the main world. That world had a superpower similar to genetic enhancement, and there were also many wild beasts with strange abilities. The natives called them ‘Mutant Beasts’. The main world had once interacted with them, and it was not the first time they had entered this world.

Because the threat level and value of that plane were very low, and they were familiar with the environment, the explorers sent by the various countries were all Rank 1 and 2 Explorers. They hid and collected intelligence, so there should not be any casualties.

However, I didn’t expect that a male explorer from another country would actually be killed by the natives head-on. His death was quite tragic. It was said that his lower body was minced by someone with a sharp weapon, to the point that its shape couldn’t be seen anymore. In the end, he was killed by the native… From this, it can be seen how ferocious and dangerous the natives are.”

At this point, Shen Xinqin sighed and shook her head.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

“What a tragic death. The natives are too ruthless. They’re simply ‘egg’ hunters!” Xu Lingyun gasped.

Zhang Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered, “So it’s that dangerous? Why didn’t they say anything before asking us to sign the agreement? I feel like I’ve been tricked… I wonder if I can go back on my word?”

Li Xiaoyin rolled her eyes, “Look at how useless you are. I knew that it was dangerous when I signed it! Otherwise, why would we Superhumans need to go over? We can just find some ordinary people.”

The three of them whispered and discussed softly.

Beside him, Zhou Jing’s expression gradually turned strange.

Why did this matter… sound so familiar?

He was 80% sure that the “native” Shen Xinqin mentioned was his apostle, Jason…

Good lord, this matter had not only spread in the Mutant World, but also in the main world?!

At this moment, Xu Lingyun poked Zhou Jing’s kidney and asked curiously, “Why don’t you have any reaction? In the future, we might have to face such heartless natives. Aren’t you afraid?”

The corners of Zhou Jing’s mouth twitched, and his tone was complicated as he replied,

“… Oh, I’m too afraid to talk.”
