As players grow stronger and step into the First Tier Professional Grade and Second Tier Elite Grade, a very small number have a chance to awaken talents.

However, research has shown that these talented players who can awaken talents already show signs of being extraordinary even before their talents manifest.

This is called Hidden Talent.

The probability of Heaven Chosen from extraordinary second generations having talents is much higher than that of ordinary people, but when the base number of Civilian Players is large, heroes and Heaven Chosen also emerge one by one.

There are many types of talents, but they can generally be divided into two categories:

Individual Talents and Strategic Talents.

Individual Talents, as the name suggests, include spitting fire and water, telekinesis, Mental Link, and so on.

Strategic Talents are different; they affect groups.

Players with shooting talents, when commanding ranged shooting type units, can give their units longer range and faster firing speed.

Players with Spearman talents, the Spearmen they command have stronger killing power, and when recruiting using Random Remnant Souls, they also have a higher probability of recruiting the Spearman unit.

This is a kind of compatibility.

Naturally compatible with Spearmen.

Mu Yuan, this young man, is naturally compatible with Skeleton Soldiers. When commanding, he is also quite calm and composed, with proper Tactics. He is definitely a rare talent.

Even if this talent only enhances Common Three Star Skeleton Soldiers, it is not bad.

After all, in the legions commanded by Great Lords, basic units still account for the majority.

Not only that...

This young man's luck is also very strong.

Otherwise, even with a Hidden Talent for Skeleton Soldiers, it would be impossible to train the Skeleton Soldiers to be so agile in just a few days. This clearly shows they have gained intelligence.

Examiner Jiang looked at Bone Four, who had achieved a double kill, and said, "This Skeleton Soldier of yours is very good and worth cultivating vigorously. Hmm, I suggest you give it a name to distinguish it from other Skeleton Soldiers. This will help the unit grow in intelligence. One day, it might even awaken a true self-awareness, which would mean a very promising future."

Mu Yuan could only say that he would give it a name as soon as he got back.

He couldn't possibly say that this Skeleton already had a name, Bone Four.

It means the fourth Skeleton Soldier, and there are three older brothers before it, among which the third brother, Bone Three, just evolved to the Skeleton Warrior level this morning.

After all, this is an examination hall. After receiving affirmation from Examiner Jiang and confirming that there would be extra benefits, Mu Yuan led the group of Skeleton Soldiers with missing arms and legs out through the side passage.

Well, he certainly couldn't carry so many disabled Skeletons himself, and the Heaven Chosen mark couldn't accommodate that many either. The Sentries summoned by the on-site staff had to carry them one by one into the treatment room.

"Undead type? Go to Room Number 8."

"Hmm, Undead energy is harmful to the human body. Players can wait outside."

The person in charge, who was reading a newspaper here, pushed up his glasses and said.

Mu Yuan thanked him, and then, like a family member accompanying a patient for a CT scan, he watched the alloy door slowly close.

After a moment, in just a few dozen seconds, the anti-Undead energy radiation door slowly opened again, and one by one, completely recovered Skeleton Soldiers walked out, their armor and battle knives looking brand new as if they had just come out of the furnace.

Mu Yuan: "!!!"

He felt like he had missed an opportunity to get some free equipment.

Considering that Bone Four and the others had come out with such difficulty, Mu Yuan felt he couldn't waste the chance. So, surrounded by a crowd of Skeleton Soldiers, he walked towards the adjacent training area.

He wanted to practice controlling them himself.

Just in case he encountered any sudden situations in reality, he wouldn't be at a loss. He felt there was still a lot of room for improvement in his previous operation. After all, it was his first time, and he was a bit nervous.

Player Association, Lobby.

The newcomers who were watching the show were gathered in front of the big screen, their enthusiasm undiminished.

Although they could only see the examinee numbers, thanks to some gossipy players spreading the word, the numbers of the Whale Players and two or three Civilian Player newcomers, these 'seed players', were no longer a secret.

"The one at the top of the list right now is Young Master Tan, right? As expected of the young master of Bai Jiang Real Estate, being rich is just amazing, I'm so envious! Even the Lucky One among us Civilian Players is no match at all."

"The Lucky One is said to have several Skeleton Soldiers and has developed extremely fast all the way, but in the end, the Lucky One is no match for the Whale Players. Not to mention being unable to compare with Young Master Tan, the Lucky One has even dropped to fourth place."

"Young Master Tan is indeed amazing, I'm talking about his money power. Although he's not a Game Second Generation, his family is definitely richer than many veteran players."

"Could it be that Young Master Tan will keep dominating the list? None of the Game Second Generations can surpass him? You Game Second Generations, step up!"

The onlookers whispered, counting the newcomer big shots who hadn't been assessed yet.

Number 66, Number 77, Number 96, Number 101...

As for Number 54? Except for the Frog Seller Bro and White Fox Miss, no one cared about a passerby number like Number 54. People only cared if the newcomer big shots behind could rush to the top of the list.

They just wanted to watch the excitement, they just wanted to see blood flow like a river.

"It appeared! It appeared!"

"The new top of the list has arrived, his identity is... let me check... Uh, who is Number 54?"

The lobby was silent for a moment. The onlookers looked at each other, surprised, astonished, and bewildered.

Only in a certain corner, the Frog Seller Bro and White Fox Miss exchanged glances and simultaneously let out incredible exclamations.

"Holy crap!"

Mu Yuan had no idea that he, a very ordinary newcomer player who summoned some very ordinary Skeleton Soldiers, was given a high score by the chief examiner who greatly appreciated talent.

Seeing this, the other examiners also gave high scores.

After all, this was a newcomer who received talent support, and his future was quite promising. Even if his current strength was not as good as the top Whale Players, it was very reasonable for him to get a higher score since he came from a civilian background.

It was completely within the scope of the rules.

(Mu Yuan: I don't want it!)

But since he got it, he might as well accept it.

If he wanted to strive for various resources in the future, he couldn't be completely low-key, right?

Sigh, he's just too outstanding.

Mu Yuan had originally planned to finish the assessment, grab lunch outside, and then slip away, but he forgot that resource distribution wouldn't happen until the assessment was completely over and all the spots were confirmed.

Even though he had already secured a qualifying spot, he still had to wait.

Mu Yuan could only take this opportunity to sell off a few scattered remnant souls and purchase Little Skeleton and Slime remnant souls from various stalls.

And surprisingly, due to the large number of players in the Association today, there were also many types of remnant souls available.

Mu Yuan completely handed over the territory matters to Undead Bone and spent the better part of the day browsing through the stalls, picking and choosing, and bargaining, finally completing his procurement task for the day.

"I really worked hard."

"However, the gains are also quite significant. I bought a total of 10 Little Skeleton remnant souls, 10 Slime remnant souls, and 1 Falcon remnant soul."

"And the main event of the day is yet to come: the excellent newcomer aid package issued by the Xuan Country government."

In the evening, the assessment had concluded.

The sixteen excellent newcomers who received the newcomer aid package this time were led by staff members to the designated location to collect their resources.

Mu Yuan took a look and saw that most of them were indeed the seed newcomers that the Frog Seller Bro had mentioned earlier.

Among the remaining unfamiliar faces, he actually spotted a familiar figure.

"Liver Emperor?"

"You passed too? I barely made it, luckily I put in that extra half-day of liver-bursting before."

"Same here, same here."

After passing the assessment, Liver Emperor continued to burst his liver, oblivious to the outside world, but along the way, he vaguely heard discussions about examinee number 54.

Wait a minute, his unfocused pupils gradually focused and landed on Mu Yuan.

Slowly, a question mark appeared in his mind: You call that barely making it?

Compared to him, who barely passed, he was too far behind. This must mean his liver power wasn't enough; he had to liver harder.

Thanks to 'Ting Yu Yin Lou' and 'Shu You 20220902234001003' for the tips, and thanks everyone for voting and following along hehe
