Various Scores

A little over ten minutes later.

Xi Shenlian had already left the café several minutes ago.

Ouin Chiyoka was still sitting inside the quiet café. Her expression was slightly solemn as she took occasional sips of coffee, looking as though she was seriously thinking about something.

Suddenly.

Amid the music, the phone in her pocket began to vibrate.

She took out her phone and glanced at the caller information before answering directly.

A second later, a somewhat old and hoarse voice came from the other end.

The other party got straight to the point:

"You snuck out to have fun and came into contact with a newly Awakened person?"

Ouin Chiyoka's brows lifted slightly.

"...Grandpa, how did you know?"

"The various factions have been watching that newcomer for some time. They're currently conducting a remote observation and assessment of him. Not long ago, they discovered that he happened to run into you. He even held you hostage without hurting you, as though he was chatting with you about something, so they contacted us directly... This also made the people from the other two factions suspect that we were acting outside the rules and had violated regulations by contacting him first. So we need to know what he talked about with you in order to give them an explanation."

After hearing all this.

Ouin Chiyoka sighed softly.

To be honest.

If she had been one of the people from the other two factions, she would have been at least somewhat suspicious too.

But she had genuinely run into Xi Shenlian by pure coincidence.

Therefore.

She could only helplessly recount in detail over the phone what the two of them had discussed.

"...So, after killing a group of gang members, that fellow pretended to leave and lured you out?"

"Yes."

The old man on the other end of the phone asked:

"How many meters away from him were you at the time? Did you deliberately conceal your trail? What sort of area were you in?"

After thinking for a moment, Ouin Chiyoka answered in order:

"I was about seventy meters away from him and that group of gang members."

"When I was observing the situation, I deliberately concealed myself."

"We were near a bustling street, with two operating karaoke clubs nearby."

This time, the old man on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment.

"Looks like he's far more outstanding than expected."

"I remember your concealment ability was at a very good level among the younger generation..."

"Not only did he completely control his power shortly after awakening, but his innate senses also allowed him to detect you hiding dozens of meters away despite the interference of a busy city... This isn't just an 85-point talent..."

Hearing this.

As the person who had been reduced to a foil for Xi Shenlian, Ouin Chiyoka fell silent.

She felt as though she had become a stepping stone.

With some unwillingness, she asked:

"...Is that fellow really a newly Awakened person?"

The old man on the other end of the phone answered:

"Based on our deductions, he probably began awakening within the past three months. His activity patterns changed noticeably during that period, especially over the past two months."

"According to the assessors' estimates, his Safety and Controllability Score and Innate Talent Score are 65 and 85 respectively."

"The former, the Safety and Controllability Score, is based on his words and behavior before and after awakening. He originally scored 90. He had never gotten into a fight in his entire life before awakening and basically never came into conflict with anyone. After awakening, he hadn't done anything harmful either. At most, he was an extravagant hedonist. His mental state appeared extremely stable, so he received the high score of 90."

"But earlier, he suddenly tortured more than a dozen gang members and deliberately left some of them alive, ensuring they would spend the rest of their lives suffering worse than death..."

"According to the psychological profile, the observers discovered that he holds some unusual beliefs—rather extreme ones."

"This means he may occasionally lose control. But most of the time, as long as no one deliberately provokes him, he'll be relatively safe and harmless. So the assessors ultimately gave him a passing score of 65."

"As for the 85-point Innate Talent Score, as the name suggests, it refers to the talent he has displayed. He completely controlled his own power in an extremely short period of time, and his body also exhibited unusual traits. His pupils and hair color underwent obvious changes, which means he had already awakened to a certain degree in a very short time. His awakening speed far surpassed that of the vast majority of ordinary Awakened people. Besides that, according to the information we obtained, he has displayed many inhuman characteristics. He can consume and digest metal, ceramics, and glass, and he can also..."

At this point.

The old man on the other end of the phone hesitated slightly.

He looked at the documents in his hand.

He felt that it would be better not to tell his granddaughter about those things directly.

In the end.

He decided to put it more tactfully:

"He can also go thirty days and thirty nights without sleeping while engaging in high-intensity exercise."

Even as a well-informed man, the old man on the other end of the phone couldn't help sighing inwardly:

That's a genuine super beast...

Besides that.

What puzzled him even more was a certain line in the documents.

"Afterward, following the extraction and analysis of samples from several escort girls, we discovered that the composition of the residue he left behind was excessively complex and bizarre. It contained cola, Sprite, milk, glucose... but no DNA whatsoever."

This line.

Had left the old man utterly shocked:

What the hell is that supposed to be?!

He couldn't understand it at all!

Even.

After taking out his glasses and studying it repeatedly many times.

He still couldn't understand it.

Was he a beverage factory in his previous life???

However.

His excellent mental composure still allowed him to keep his tone calm. While pondering all sorts of strange matters, he spoke to his granddaughter in an even, composed voice:

"Chiyoka, since he has already rejected your recruitment offer, you don't need to dwell on it too much. Just maintain an ordinary relationship. As one of the branch families, we can't overstep too much. The main family will take over the remaining matters. We don't need to get too deeply involved..."

Faced with her elder's blunt words.

Ouin Chiyoka could only answer with some reluctance in her heart:

"I understand."

Just as Xi Shenlian had expected.

Although Ouin Chiyoka was indeed a member of the Ouin Family.

Her true status was not particularly high.

Or rather, she was not a direct-line member.

She was merely one of the members of a branch family.

As a super family with a history spanning several thousand years and one of the forces dominating the nation, the Ouin Family's true direct-line members could never wander around without any bodyguards...
