Rebirth Before the Return of Spiritual Energy Chapter 31

Chapter 31: The Eve

Ye Xuan didn’t understand the system lottery. If he happened to draw something physical and it appeared directly in his hands, that would be troublesome. Therefore, Ye Xuan temporarily didn’t participate in the lottery.

Qin Heng had a favorable impression of Ye Xuan, which wasn’t surprising. Because of Ye Xuan, the people of Jiangcheng and the police had avoided several crises. Qin Heng considered Ye Xuan a friend because of his relationship with Wei Lan, which was also normal.

Afterwards, Qin Heng started chatting with Ye Xuan. As middle school students, his first question was about Ye Xuan’s grades, and Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate to ask back.

Obviously, both of them had average grades and were considered underachievers. Realizing this, Ye Xuan and Qin Heng seemed to sympathize with each other and became closer.

Wei Lan took Qin Heng and Ye Xuan home, and then prepared a delicious meal for them to enjoy.

After eating, Wei Lan said, “Ye Xuan, what do you think about the future? Auntie knows you’re very smart, so you should have realized something, right?”

Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Yes, it seems that the times are really changing.”

Wei Lan nodded solemnly and said, “Not long ago, the country detected that several natural reserves had undergone abnormal changes. The wildlife in these reserves no longer satisfied their original living environment and began to migrate to the surrounding areas. The mutated wildlife has grown in size, strength, and speed, and their aggression has increased. Several villages have already been attacked.”

“Our country is relatively better off, but in foreign countries where the land is vast and the population is sparse, there have been reports of towns being bloodied by mutated kangaroo herds. They have mobilized their armies but still can’t stop the frenzy of the mutated kangaroo herds.”

“Our country is currently in a better situation, but according to current information, as time goes on, the animal mutations will become stronger. It won’t be long before there are beasts that human weapons can’t handle!”

At this moment, Qin Heng suddenly said, “Mom, since animals can mutate, theoretically humans should be able to undergo such mutations too, right? After all, humans are also animals.”

Wei Lan glanced at her son and said, “That’s right, but this kind of mutation is inversely proportional to the individual’s intelligence. Although you are relatively dumb among us humans, you are still smarter than those cats and dogs.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle, while Qin Heng protested, “Mom!”

Wei Lan laughed and said, “Alright, enough. The country has thought about human mutations even before you guys did, and they have already come up with countermeasures. The first batch of awakened individuals are in the military. There are already a large number of awakened individuals in the military to prepare for possible future changes.”

“As for the second batch, if I’m not mistaken, it might be you middle school seniors. You are young and have more talent and potential. Although you may not be as controllable as the military, your future growth potential is higher. If the beasts really evolve to a certain extent in the future, it will be up to you to resist them.”

When arranging awakenings, the country considers two factors: obedience and growth potential. No one is more obedient than soldiers, so the first batch of awakened individuals are from the military. They have an iron will and consider protecting their homes and country as their duty. They awaken without worrying about the consequences.

However, they are often older and have less potential than young people. Therefore, the second batch is arranged for middle school seniors.

A child who can study from kindergarten to middle school and prepare for college without dropping out proves that their character should be fine and they won’t be too extreme. Compared to their peers who dropped out early, they should be more outstanding overall.

Therefore, after evaluation by the higher-ups, the students who are about to take the college entrance examination have more potential, are relatively excellent among their peers, and have a certain level of controllability. There shouldn’t be any problems with arranging the second batch of awakenings.

Wei Lan’s speculation was not without reason. Among the people Ye Xuan knew, Su Mengli and Qin Heng had already played a huge role in the defense of the city in the future!

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Qin Heng looked expectant and said, “I wonder what kind of talent I will awaken? Professor X’s mind control? Or the magnetic manipulation of Magneto?”

Ye Xuan knew Qin Heng’s abilities very well and smiled, “Although mind control is powerful, it’s not as cool as Magneto’s power.”

Qin Heng nodded and said, “That’s right. I want Magneto’s power.”

Wei Lan didn’t hesitate to pour cold water on him and said, “Son, are you thinking too much? The situation hasn’t even started yet, and the proportion of animal mutations is only about half. The proportion of human awakenings may be even lower. You might just be an ordinary person.”

Qin Heng stood up directly, looking arrogant, “An ordinary person? Mom, look at my face, my sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, my heroic bearing. I am the one you’re talking about. How could I be an ordinary person?”

Wei Lan immediately interrupted, “Alright, alright, stop bragging. Why are you so narcissistic like your father?”

Qin Heng retorted, “This is not narcissism. I am indeed handsome. Ye Xuan, objectively speaking, am I handsome or not?”

Ye Xuan looked at Qin Heng and honestly said, “You’re quite handsome, just a little bit worse than me.”

“Tsk, you’re not being objective at all!”

“Haha!”

Ye Xuan stayed at Wei Lan’s house for the afternoon, attended classes as usual in the afternoon, and after evening self-study, he accompanied Su Mengli home as usual before returning to his own home.

Up until now, the relationship between Su Mengli and Ye Xuan’s family was very good, almost like a family. Ye Xuan’s parents treated Su Mengli as their future daughter-in-law.

Lin Qiaozhu even gave Su Mengli a pair of jade bracelets, saying they were passed down from Ye Xuan’s great-grandmother.

At that time, Su Mengli was very shy but still accepted them. Although there was only a thin layer of paper between Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, Ye Xuan never broke through it. Previously, Su Mengli was at the lowest point in her life, and Ye Xuan’s family had helped her, so she was naturally grateful.

But Ye Xuan wasn’t sure if Su Mengli had any romantic feelings towards him. At this time, if Ye Xuan confessed, it would be seen as a form of coercion since Su Mengli had nothing else and could only rely on Ye Xuan’s family. Ye Xuan didn’t want that.

He hoped that when Su Mengli shone brightly, he could walk by her side, hold her hand openly, and walk together in the light.

At that time, she would be high above, not needing to rely on anyone. On the contrary, countless people would see her as a savior and hope to receive her protection. At that time, if she was willing to be with Ye Xuan, that would be a romantic relationship.
