Compared with the average physical attributes of ordinary people in this world, which were 5 points, Xia Nan's Perception, as high as 12 points, had almost reached an exaggerated degree that in his previous life had existed only in works of fantasy.
Take the present situation, for example.
If any ordinary person were standing in Xia Nan's position, facing the "Silver Claw Osprey" squad before him—setting aside that reckless Half-Orc whose thoughts were all written plainly across his face—they probably would not have noticed the negative emotions hidden beneath the faces of the other two members of the squad at all.
Someone a little less sensitive might have seen the captain, Nick, take the initiative to come forward and greet him with a smiling expression, and perhaps really thought the other party was welcoming him.
But to Xia Nan, his extremely keen Perception allowed him to detect it through a great many tiny details that ordinary people would never notice at all: the slight stiffness of the muscles at the corners of their mouths when they smiled, the subtle positions the three of them took while facing him, the way their centers of gravity leaned slightly forward with guarded intent as they greeted him...
He sensed the faint hostility that permeated the air, invisible and intangible, yet undeniably present.
His expression did not change. He responded to the other party's greeting with his usual calm and propriety, while secretly committing the performances of the few of them to memory.
