C4

The normal line of sight suddenly stretched very far. In Zero's line of sight, regardless of whether it was Leah or the items in the room, being able to instantly shrink was as strange as standing hundreds of meters away and looking at them from afar. Naturally, this was not the case. Zero was still sitting in its original position. It was just that the distance between them had changed. His heart was slightly startled, and subconsciously wanted to see Leah clearly.

As this thought rose in his mind, his vision suddenly zoomed in. Leah's figure immediately filled Zero's line of sight. To the extent of being clear, Zero could even see Leah's pair of snow white mountain ranges through the collar of her checked shirt.

Perhaps Zero did not know that at the same time as his field of vision changed, the Silver Eye of the Golden Eye also changed. When the beast's pupils were vertical, the field of vision was lengthened. When the pupils of the beast were perfectly round, the field of vision would be zoomed in.

However, the free change of vision was limited to the right eye of zero. Zero's left eye was normal, so two different fields of vision made him dizzy. He couldn't help but close his eyes, but a voice kept asking in his mind: What's wrong with me?

Leah saw the changes in the golden eye, and asked happily: "How is it, did you sense something strange?"

When Zero opened his eyes, the Silver Light Beast Eye in his left eye had already disappeared, and countless hair-thin silver lines filled the edges of his pupils. He shook his head and said, "I let you down. Everything's normal."

Even he did not know why his field of vision underwent such a change, so he decided to hide it, including Leah.

"Forget it, it seems like you only have a pair of pretty eyes." Leah was a little disappointed, but very quickly, the girl regained her vigor. Seeing that Zero had finished eating, she said, "Take a rest, I'll go prepare the appraisal machine."

Zero nodded and watched her push open the door and leave. He knew that the so called appraiser should be related to the "ability appraisal" that Old Jack had mentioned before. Furthermore, Leah had also mentioned "ability user" and "evolution point". At least in his memory, there was no such thing.

His brain worked like a high-precision computer, analyzing and categorizing all the information he received before coming to a conclusion.

"Is it evolution?" Zero muttered to himself. Based on what he had seen and heard, he already had a rudimentary concept of this world.

After what they called the Cataclysm Day, the genes for life had undergone an earth-shattering change. Some of these genes were seriously mutated, resulting in a variety of monsters. However, a small portion of the genes had evolved, resulting in the appearance of 'Adepts' and 'points of evolution'. Adepts were supposed to be evolved Homo Evolutis, but the direction of their evolution, the abilities they produced, and so on were all difficult to analyze because of a lack of information.

Now, Old Jack had ordered Leah to conduct an ability appraisal exercise. In other words, Old Jack suspected that he was also an ability user. The basis of his suspicion should be related to his right eye.

Thinking this way, Zero stood up, using the bottom of the aluminum plate as a mirror and holding it in front of his face.

The black and gold pupils were completely different in color, causing Zero to be slightly startled. She then laughed bitterly, looking at this scene, it was no wonder that Old Jack could think of such things. No matter who saw this double colored pupil, they wouldn't be able to connect it with a normal person. Zero thought.

"The apparatus is ready, you can come over ?" "Eh, what are you doing?" Leah pushed open the door and entered. He saw Zero holding a plate of food, doing something unknown, and was curious in his heart.

Zero put down the plate and shook his head. "It's nothing."

Leah did not investigate further, and waved for Zero to go to the next room.

This was a room similar to a laboratory.

The room was filled with all sorts of test tubes, tools, and even an operating table. There were some bloodstains on the operating table, and he didn't know what had once been lying on it. In a corner of the lab, machines similar to the old magnetic resonance machines were working. Leah was performing operations beside the machine that were incomprehensible by zero, but it was not hard to tell that the machine must be the appraisal machine.

"Although grandfather doesn't know where this old type of appraiser came from, what can be appraised is only the abilities of those below the Third Order and the basic body fusion index. But I think it's enough for you. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a Powerful person of the third step and above, do you? " Leah's hands moved as if they were flying, busily working by the operating table's side.

While watching with rapt attention, these hands should not be operating any ability appraiser, instead, they should be playing an intoxicating piano on the main stage.

"Hey, come over here." Leah's voice shattered Zero's fantasy. The girl pointed at the platform at the entrance of the apparatus, "Come, lie down on this platform."

Zero nodded and lay down. Just then, Old Jack also walked in. He stood beside Leah and glanced at him coldly, but did not express anything.

Leah was also very nervous as she pressed the start button, announcing the start of the appraisal.

Zero closed his eyes and felt the platform under him being pulled by the mechanical pulley, sliding towards the instrument's warehouse entrance. Following that, various kinds of lights lit up in the instrument, and Zero knew that countless data were being formed and sent to the operating table's display.

Old Jack opened his eyes wide and stared at the monitor.

As the data was formed, the computer's emotionless synthesizer sounded, "Appraisal completed." Target: Human. Body mass index, using standard data as a reference value. Strength 120%, body strength 110%, muscle strength 130%. Ability: None. Evolutionary Point: None.

A string of data swept past the display, causing Old Jack's face to continuously turn gloomy. Especially when he saw the numbers for the last two items, he gave a stuffy groan and slammed the door as he walked out.

Hearing his grandfather's voice, Leah softly sighed. When Zero came out of the instrument, he sat up on the platform and looked thoughtfully at the door. "Was he disappointed?"

Leah smiled bitterly and said: "Don't blame Grandfather, it hasn't been easy for him these past few years. He had worked hard all his life for the masters of the Parkland's valve, but now the top executives of the corporate world were grooming young executives to replace his grandfather. Without this job, my grandfather and I would be in a difficult situation. So my grandfather always hoped that a famous Adept would take charge of us, so that we could increase our influence in the corporate world. "

"Do Adepts really have that much of a use?" Zero asked.

Leah nodded strongly, saying, "You probably don't know this, but after the Cataclysm Day, the ground was shrouded by an intense radiation, causing 90% of the world's population to die one after another. Only 10% of the world's people survived. In order to survive, the genes of all living things, be they humans or animals, evolved or mutated in the short span of fifty years after the upheaval of the Cataclysm. And Adepts are the result of genetic evolution. "

From Leah's mouth, he completed one round of knowledge regarding the new world.

Adepts were the product of genetic evolution.

Whether through the battle with the mutated organism, or experiencing the cruel trials of a vile environment, there were all sorts of reasons. In this turbulent year, mankind's genes were changing and evolving at a terrifying speed. In the process, they created evolution points.

Evolutionary point is a new member in the gene chain. It breaks the original gene composition of human being and develops various abilities from the surface.

New humans with evolved points and abilities were known as Adepts.

As for the classification and generalization of Adept abilities, after half a century of quarrelling and debate, they were finally formed. All the abilities that are now present and known are divided into five major areas.

They are: Meta-Su Domain, Fighting Domain, Perception Domain, Mutation Domain and Rule Domain.

And the different abilities in different fields were also separated into twelfth rank. But in theory, there was also the concept of Thirteenth step. Legend has it that when one's ability maximizes and breaks through the bottleneck of the twelfth rank, they will enter the Thirteenth step. The Powerful person of the Thirteenth step would produce an absolute domain, which was a substance similar to the energy field. Within the scope of the energy field, the power of the domain would be maximized, and the power would even reach the height of a god.

It was just that currently, Divine level Powerful person s did not have any Thirteenth step in the world, so they were always regarded as the realm of legends.

However, the five domains were naturally different.

The Meta-Su Domain was the general term for the ability to manipulate the energy of the various elemental Su s in the natural world. The known energy element Su consisted of the earth, fire, water, wind, thunder, light and dark elements. And Powerful person of the element domain, was also known as a magician, representing the reverence of the people towards them.

Those who specialized in fighting were all elite soldiers. The abilities of this field included the specialization of various weapons, as well as the enhancement of strength, defense, agility and other related abilities.

Below that was the domain of perception. For Powerful person in this domain, most of their abilities were expressed in their mind's power. They were the most powerful experts who possessed the mental power. They possessed the Spirit Image, Soul Eye, Soul Chains, Spirit Intent, Spirit Teleportation, and other abilities that were beyond imagination.

If one were to say the Powerful person of the three above ability domains looked like an ordinary person, at the very least. Then Powerful person of the mutation domain would undoubtedly be like a monster. Powerful person in this domain could reform their own genes in a short period of time and turn them into a different kind of being for battle. Among the known powers of mutation are animal avatars, insect avatars, ancient species avatars, and the most fearsome demon avatars.

Finally, there was the rule field.

The so-called Edicts referred to major powers who had mastered a certain set of Edicts. Although there are some scholars to summarize for it the time control, space control, energy control, material control and other rules of ability. But at the moment, there was no Powerful person in the entire world who belonged to the Rules Region, even if there was only one.

Thus, the realm of rules and legends had the same level of Thirteenth step, becoming a theoretical realm.

However, there were prophecies saying that whoever grasped the ability of the Rules Domain would become the living god of this world!
