Inside the activity room, just as Jiang Hou's expression turned somber and Zong Zheng Nanmo was in a state of shock, unsure of what to say, the black-haired girl's tone shifted back to being light and breezy.
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. The Wing City branch reported to headquarters as soon as they discovered traces of the Demon God. They will definitely dispatch stronger individuals to suppress it."
"The current trouble in Wing City is the large number of World Rifts that have appeared in and around Wing City due to the two World Impacts."
"The composition of these World Rifts is very complex. Some appear and then disappear, some exist for a few days, and a few form a separate dimension that cuts through both worlds."
"The appearance of these rifts is accompanied by a large amount of Pollution Energy surging out. Once humans and animals come into contact with it, they will mutate and become twisted, bloodthirsty Pollution Monsters."
"In addition to that, there are also some Ancient Items that fall out of the rifts."
"These are highly concentrated sources of pollution. Although they are suppressed by the rules of the real world, the pollution power contained within these items cannot dissipate, but they will continue to exist."
"And once a person or creature comes into contact with an Ancient Item, including swallowing it, they will be polluted."
"Successfully enduring it will grant great power, allowing one to become an awakened Extraordinary, while failure will turn them into mutated monsters stronger than Pollution Monsters, bloodthirsty, insane, and with a bit of intelligence."
"And you two are lucky. After coming into contact with the pollution source, you didn't turn into monsters, but instead evolved into Extraordinary."
Saying that peace is about to be broken and the Demon God is about to invade is you, and saying that there's no need to worry because strong individuals will come to suppress it is also you.
Jiang Ruochan had said all the good and bad things, leaving Jiang Hou and the other speechless for a moment.
"Oh, right, can you tell me what you came into contact with the night before last?" The black-haired girl looked at the two, a bit curious.
"Me?"
Zong Zheng Nanmo shuddered. "The night before last, I was passing by the park when I suddenly fell into a pitch-black place, and then I saw a black shadow like a vengeful ghost pounce on me."
"Then I passed out. When I woke up again, it was already late at night, and I was lying on the lawn in the park."
"But after sleeping on the grass for a night, not only did I not catch a cold, but I felt healthier, and I could even touch the wind and even control it."
As he said this, Zong Zheng Nanmo stretched out his right hand, and a wisp of materialized cyan whirlwind appeared from nothing in his palm, but it suddenly dissipated after spinning twice.
"Black shadow," Jiang Ruochan said thoughtfully, "The pollution source you came into contact with should be a remnant trace containing the power of an ancient expert."
"This kind of pollution source belongs to the Deity Era inheritance."
Before Zong Zheng Nanmo could ask what the Deity Era was, Jiang Ruochan looked at Jiang Hou.
"The day before yesterday, when I was passing by the alley behind the residential area, I was swept into a black mist that appeared out of nowhere and appeared on a huge biological skeleton more than a hundred meters long."
"Then I felt something enter my body, and I passed out from the intense pain."
"When I woke up again, it was more than two hours later, and I was still lying in that alley. There was even a delivery guy passing by at the time."
"Just a bone is more than a hundred meters long, how huge must that creature have been in its lifetime?" Zong Zheng Nanmo exclaimed.
"I don't know, but it must be very big." Jiang Hou shook his head.
Isn't that obvious? Zong Zheng Nanmo rolled his eyes.
"A section of bone is more than a hundred meters long. This skeleton should be from the Behemoth Era. Only those heaven-and-earth behemoths would have such a huge size."
"But so far, it seems that no one has obtained the inheritance of the Behemoth Era." At this point, Jiang Ruochan became somewhat interested in Jiang Hou.
"Jiang, what are your awakened abilities and attributes?"
"...I, it seems I don't have any abilities or attributes, just my strength has increased a lot, several times that of an ordinary person."
Noticing the change in Jiang Ruochan's eyes and tone, Jiang Hou felt that the power he inherited seemed somewhat special.
"No attributes or abilities, just a physical body enhanced several times over?"
This time it was Jiang Ruochan's turn to be stunned, because all those who evolved through Pollution had corresponding talents or abilities.
However, it was possible that Jiang Hou had obtained the Behemoth Era inheritance. This power system had always been very mysterious, and it seemed normal that it was different from other eras.
"Jiang Ruochan, is Jiang Hou's Behemoth Era inheritance very powerful, that no one has ever awakened it before?" Saying this, Zong Zheng Nanmo was somewhat envious.
Gods and the like were commonplace in anime, but the power or sequence inheritance that no one had ever awakened was the most powerful.
Jiang Ruochan shook her head: "No one awakening it doesn't mean it's powerful, it only means that the inheritance of this era is incomplete."
"Currently, there are eight known destroyed ancient eras. Every inheritance, when taken to the extreme, possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, even to create and destroy the world."
"At the same time, every evolver is a 'genius,' a child of fortune, because those with bad luck have become Pollution Monsters, so there's no need to worry about any 'secrets' being exposed."
Saying this, Jiang Ruochan glanced at Jiang Hou.
"Alright, let's not talk about this." Saying that, Jiang Ruochan extended another invitation, "How about it, want to join my club?"
Did she even need to ask? Of course, he would join.
The semi-official status didn't matter. What was important was that through Jiang Ruochan, he could learn more about the Extraordinary world, which was very important to Jiang Hou.
Anyway, joining the club wouldn't be a loss to him; it wasn't like he was going to work.
Zong Zheng Nanmo didn't refuse either. He wasn't stupid. He could tell at a glance that this transfer student's identity was not simple. He would latch onto this thigh first.
"Very good, I shouldn't be too bored for the next period of time."
Having recruited two club members (lackeys), Jiang Ruochan was in a good mood. With a flip of her hand, she took out two items similar to smartwatches, one blue and one black.
"This is an auxiliary device developed by the Heaven's Punishment Research Department last year, an Energy Detector."
"While retaining basic communication functions, it can divide the danger level through the energy fluctuations emitted by Pollution Monsters or enemies."
"Of course, energy fluctuations are just basic detection and do not represent true strength."
"At the same time, the detector can also scan the user's body and, through professional numerical conversion, give your current comprehensive level."
"However, these two are just basic models, with a detection limit of only Extraordinary Rank Three, mainly for reserve members below Heaven's Punishment Rank Four. The functions are average."
Zong Zheng Nanmo's eyes lit up: "President, I want one."
"Ahem! Thank you for the gift, President." Jiang Hou coughed dryly and didn't stand on ceremony. After Zong Zheng Nanmo took the blue watch, he chose the black one.
He didn't expect to receive a gift as soon as he joined the club. This president was not bad.
But before the two who received the watches could ask how to use them, Jiang Ruochan's phone rang.
"Hello! What..."
"Okay, I'll be right there." After saying that, Jiang Ruochan hung up the phone and said hurriedly, "There are operating instructions inside the watches. Study them yourselves. I have something to do and have to leave first."
"Oh, right, remember to participate in club activities after school in the future..."
After speaking, the black-haired girl left directly, her sleeves fluttering as she walked, her black hair moving without wind, looking handsome and unrestrained.
Watching Jiang Ruochan leave, Zong Zheng Nanmo looked at Jiang Hou, just about to say something, but Jiang Hou spoke first, "Let's see what's inside this thing first."
"Okay."
As they spoke, they each found a chair and sat down.
This watch was very simple to operate. Under the guidance for beginners, Jiang Hou slid his finger and opened the file regarding the division of levels among Extraordinary individuals.
Instantly, eight large characters appeared: [Extraordinary Rank Nine, Domain of the Gods]
