"Yes, but evolution is only one direction."
"What we are discussing now should be said to be an upgrade and strengthening of capabilities."
Han Bing didn't notice that Lu Xin had some emotional fluctuations across the phone. From the voice, she only thought that Lu Xin was just a little surprised. Her voice was soft and soft, and she continued to explain:
"Using various methods to strengthen the abilities of ability users, and even enable them to break through their own limits and display their abilities safely and stably, has always been the most important topic of High Wall City and Research Institute, and many achievements have been achieved."
"If the core of the first stage is guidance, then the second stage is breakthrough."
"Researchers have long discovered that although the abilities of the ability users discovered today are different, the mental level of the ability users who tend to be stable is generally below a thousand, while the mental level of the ability users whose abilities are unstable and even appear to be a little crazy often has a certain degree of variation, some far exceed a thousand, and some... are even unpredictable."
"..."
Lu Xin suddenly remembered Queen from Happy Town. How high should her spiritual level be?
Normally, just when she was sleeping, her mental level could stably cover the entire town, twisting the fifty-kilometer radius into a restricted area. However, from the subsequent analysis, Lu Xin suspected that she could even turn day into night. When she entered the town, it should be daytime, but it felt like it was night.
And Happy Town Queen has such a high spiritual level, then his family...
"So, the Beginning's experiment is to enhance the mental level of some stable ability users to more than one thousand..."
Having said this, Han Bing paused slightly and said, "Mr. Shan Bing, what I am going to tell you next will involve some highly confidential and controversial topics. I hope you can keep it secret after hearing it. In addition, pay attention to adjusting your mood."
Lu Xin realized what she would say and was silent for a while.
After a while, he smiled and said, "I've adjusted it."
Han Bing was a little surprised by his answer, but continued, "This type of enhanced experimentation by ability users is classified as Forbidden Experiment by the current alliance law and has been expressly prohibited. However, I have to admit that there were many such experiments for a period of time..."
"In that chaotic and disorderly era, many qualified people started such experiments, and even..."
"... No worries at all!"
"..."
Lu Xin listened and nodded numbly, with no expression on his face.
Han Bing paused for a moment, then continued, "And these ability users who have undergone enhanced experiments have different fates."
"Some of them were originally stable, but after being strengthened, they lost control and became Pollution Source."
"Some of them have not experienced any strange changes, but their abilities have been steadily improved."
"There is also a kind of..."
Han Bing emphasized his tone. "After breaking through the limit, it was like entering a new level all of a sudden. Not only the original abilities were greatly enhanced, but also brand-new abilities were mastered. And their power is completely different from the abilities of the same system. For example, Spider-type, which was only B-class in full development, directly reached S level after strengthening..."
"And these are the earliest records of the 'second phase' research experiments."
"..."
After listening to Han Bing's words, Lu Xin was silent for a long time.
It is a sunny afternoon now, and the sun is shining in from the window.
But Lu Xin feels a slight headache.
After a while, he said, "What about the current 'second stage'?"
"Through the compilation and inference of research data, coupled with a large number of experiments, this enhancement method has now been circulated in major High Wall Citys. Even if the alliance once reminded and tried to interrupt this research, the final actual effect was not great..."
Han Bing said slowly, "What I can tell Mr. Shan Bing now is that this kind of experiment has even matured."
"We in Qinggang have the ability to achieve this kind of strengthening."
"..."
The sunlight shining on the conference table was dusty and not bright, but it made people feel a little dazzling.
Lu Xin frowned and said slowly, "Are we also using people for experiments?"
"No."
When Han Bing said this, his tone seemed to be more confident than before. "Qinggang City's overall mental abilities and Pollution Source's research are the overall responsibility of Professor Bai Responsibility, he came to Qinggang when the city was founded, and he set several limits in research from the beginning, so Qinggang City has never carried out such unscrupulous Forbidden Experiment..."
At this point, she seemed to feel that her tone was a little too sure. She slowed down slightly and slowly added, "Of course, I am just a newcomer. Maybe there are some higher-level things that I don't know about, but at least, this is how the laws of Qinggang are set."
"..."
"That is to say..."
Lu Xin replied slowly, "If they also did this kind of experiment, would it be illegal at least?"
"Yes, it's illegal, and you need to pay a price."
Han Bing said slowly, "As far as I know personally, Qinggang City's concept of the second stage was brought over by Professor Bai from the alliance's exchange meeting, and similar information was mostly collected from the Forbidden Experiment room after it was destroyed during the previous crazy time. Those Forbidden Experiment are hated by people, but there is indeed a lot of useful information from their experiments."
"It is undeniable that Qinggang has naturally conducted some experiments, but they all followed the principles of voluntariness and non-radicality..."
"... Of course, what I say is based on the premise that I am a newcomer and have limited access to secrets."
"..."
Listening to Han Bing's soft but very serious voice, Lu Xin gradually relaxed a little.
He turned around in his chair, not looking at the scenery outside the window.
Then he asked softly, "So, how exactly does the second phase of Qinggang City proceed?"
"The first thing is to have a sufficient level."
Han Bing said, "Only those with abilities that have reached the Level 3 Special Talent level are eligible to apply for the second phase of enhancement, which is used to enhance their abilities and make up for their weaknesses. However, just applying is not enough. Research Institute also needs to screen the applicants."
"Actually, strengthening mental abilities is like building blocks."
"How to make the mental level higher is not the main direction of strengthening. When the mental level is increased, ensuring the stability of the ability user is the key point of upgrading. It is like building blocks no matter how high they are built, if they collapse all at once, it will be meaningless!"
"Therefore, we will assess the risk of ability users losing control. Stability is the most important screening indicator."
"..."
"Stable?"
Lu Xin Listening, he thought of something and frowned slightly.
After talking about this, Han Bing seemed to feel a little relaxed and said with a smile, "Actually, although we have mastered the 'second stage' ability enhancement technology for a long time, the number of ability users who have been enhanced in Qinggang City is less than one hand. Currently, among the people Mr. Shan Bing knows, there is actually only one person who has met the requirements for the 'second stage' enhancement..."
"That is Mr. Gecko."
"..."
"Him?"
Lu Xin This time it was really a surprise.
"Yes."
Han Bing chuckled softly and said, "Mr. Gecko is recognized by the entire research department as the most stable ability user we have ever seen."
"With stable abilities, it can be understood that there is huge room for improvement."
"..."
Lu Xin thought about it carefully and couldn't help but nod, "He is quite stable... then why hasn't he been strengthened?"
"Because Mr. Gecko is very careful..."
There was a smile that could not be concealed in Han Bing's voice, and he said, "He has said more than once that he is fine as he is now. He can already live a good life and has the privileges he dreams of. It is also easy to deal with Pollution Source, so he will never consider strengthening it... If the city forces him, he will go to the alliance to file a complaint..."
"..."
"It's his style..."
Lu Xin couldn't help but secretly nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
The inexplicable irritability and disgust just now has quietly faded away.
Thinking about it carefully, he actually couldn't tell whether it was the "second stage" or "Forbidden Experiment" that he hated?
In any case, he has also understood the concept of the second stage and the attitude of Qinggang City.
This reminded him of what Mom said to himself at home.
She said that she had reached the second stage and then looked at the file locked in the cabinet.
Was it because she knew she was bound to reach stage two, or was it because she hoped she would never look at the file?
And myself...
... Should you continue like this, or should you figure out your current situation?
Ta-ta-ta!
Lu Xin was silent, his fingers slowly tapping on the table unconsciously.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made an extremely important decision, and his face became a little resolute:
"Help me apply for the 'second stage' enhancement!"
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Han Bing didn't speak, and Lu Xin on the other side didn't speak either. He was very serious at this time.
"This..."
It felt like it took a while before Han Bing's voice came out with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shan Bing... You can't do that!"
"What?"
Han Bing's rejection was unexpected, and Lu Xin was a little confused.
"Because the level of Mr. Individual Soldier is not enough..."
A hint of mischief could be heard in Han Bing's voice. "Only those with Level 3 Special Talent can apply for the second phase of enhancement."
"You are only Level 2 now..."
I was exhausted yesterday, so I will be a little later today, sorry, sorry...
