Luo Nan walked out from backstage and followed the staff's instructions to the waiting area next to the podium. He sat down next to the host, He Yueyin. Of course, he heard the laughter in the venue. He Yueyin also shot him a glance. The meaning in her eyes was that she had some understanding of the situation just now.
The most innocent and the most confused was Worker Zhai. He subconsciously looked toward Luo Nan.
Luo Nan nodded towards him, letting him concentrate on reading the script. Then he slightly adjusted his sitting posture, using a relatively natural posture to look around the entire conference room.
The primary training class was held in the largest circular conference room on the lowest floor of the Shangding Building. This luxurious venue, which could easily hold over a thousand people, was rarely used. The last time it was used was during the turmoil of the Human-Faced Arachnid.
It was said that the situation was terrible at the time. Nearly ten ability users had already been corroded by the Human-Faced Arachnid. After they were identified, the Human-Faced Arachnid launched an attack against all the members of the meeting. Although no one was killed or injured in the end, all the infected died.
Even if President Ouyang and Her Majesty Empress Wu were present, they could not stop this tragic accident. That was why it was said that there was a limit to a person's strength. The complexity and unpredictability of the spiritual plane was evident.
There was no trace of the tragic incident that happened more than two months ago in the venue. It was densely packed with people, easily more than a thousand and five hundred people. There weren't that many Awakened in the entirety of Xia City. In reality, Awakened ones weren't the majority. Many of them were like Worker Zhai, who was a peripheral member.
This was the difference between this elementary class and the previous ones. The scope of its training was expanded, no longer aimed at those who had just entered the Awakened Realm, but rather those who had hopes of awakening but had yet to awaken, or those who had the aptitude and possibility of awakening were also invited.
Of the six hundred thousand ability users in the world, only seventy thousand Awakened ones could truly enter the inner world's main circle. There were 88 large metropolitan areas, and each city had a population ranging from a thousand to a few hundred. The remaining five hundred thousand people were in the outer circle. On average, there were five to six thousand people in each city. Among these five to six thousand people, most of them had inexplicably gained certain abilities, but they did not have a complete cultivation system. With their special abilities, a considerable number of them became elites in various industries, but because they did not reach the standard of awakening, they could not reach the edge of the main circle.
Some of these outer members were content with the status quo, but most of them hoped to advance further. After all, when a certain "higher level" world was within reach, how could one be satisfied if they did not really touch it, set foot in it, and experience it for themselves?
Worker Zhai was a typical member of the outer circle. He had wasted many years for the sake of awakening. Now he had finally overcome that obstacle. Perhaps his status and authority in the mundane society had not changed much, and even his own strength had not been reborn, but by the standards of the Inner World, he was fundamentally different from the other people in the outer circle.
Didn't people seek value from differences?
The atmosphere in the conference room was quite enthusiastic before Luo Nan arrived. This could be seen from the applause they gave Worker Zhai. This was supposed to be a very good beginning, but it had changed a bit because of the accident brought by Luo Nan.
Most of the outer circle members couldn't enter the inner world's main circle. They couldn't use the advanced functions of the Psychic Wave Network, and they didn't have a member account in the ability user association. However, there would always be some busybodies in the main circle who would leak some news from within the circle through various channels.
For example, many people knew about the matter of Miss Two-thousandth. There were also quite a few people who were able to watch Zhan Ji's live broadcast. This kind of information spread extremely quickly. In the few seconds that Luo Nan entered the venue and took his seat, the relevant information had already covered at least a third of the people in the venue. And the information continued to spread along with the undisguised laughter.
Zhan Ji broke away from Zhang Yingying's murderous gaze and quietly entered the venue. She encountered quite a few people who greeted her, gave her thumbs up, or looked at her with cold eyes. Because of this, she quickly locked onto the best broadcast spot with the help of a group of busybodies. The podium and the venue's environment were fully captured by the camera.
The number of viewers in the live broadcast room had already broken the 20000 mark. It was close to the peak of the battle between Her Majesty Empress Wu and Jin Tong.
Zhan Ji's heart was incomparably satisfied. The Xia City branch still cared about face. Their relatively soft measures gave her the opportunity to further expand her influence. She sat comfortably in the center of the podium, directly facing the podium. She was surrounded by Awakened ones, and one of them took the initiative to reach out and greet her.
"Miss Zhan Ji, the live broadcast just now was very beautiful."
Zhan Ji turned her head. Next to her was a rather handsome western-styled man. Though he had medium long hair and wore a single earring, his body was strong and masculine. The most important thing was that he looked a bit familiar.
"You are?"
"Long Seven. A bitter observer. "
"Observer? You really don't look like one... "Zhan Ji responded casually, but a certain region in the depths of her brain suddenly stirred. Some memories flipped to the surface, and at the same time, the real-time intelligence of her team behind the scenes was updated. The two were combined, and the information revealed caused her eyes to slightly widen.
"Oh my god, how did you get in here?"
"Oh, Miss Zhan Ji knows me?"
"You seem to be..." Zhan Ji hesitated for a moment. She couldn't immediately continue speaking.
Long Seven was quite curious. He asked, "What is it?"
If you're courting death, then I won't be polite!
Zhan Ji raised an eyebrow. "You're an experimental member of a cooperative project between the Society and Quantum Corporation, right? You're an ability user who voluntarily awakened, yet you voluntarily accepted transformation into a Burner. Back then, I wanted to do a special topic on you, but the boss rejected me. "
Long Seven was still smiling. "Thank your boss for me. Otherwise, I might not be able to sit so peacefully right now."
"But you're now... a member of Quantum Corporation." Zhan Ji's voice lowered a bit in the latter half of her sentence, but this was meaningless. This was because the conversation between her and Long Seven was being watched by over twenty thousand ability users at the same time.
There were already quite a few fangirls licking the screen in the live broadcast room. Of course, there were even more people denouncing this bastard who took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
When Zhan Ji's words left her mouth, the screen was filled with "666666". This could be considered the final commendation and additional wreath for this observer who charged into Dragon Pool alone.
"Report, report. I want to report."
"I've already contacted the security personnel."
"Friends in the seventh row directly in front of the speaker's seat, please evacuate immediately."
"Fuck, I see him. He's just two rows away!"
A bloody storm seemed to have already swept through the live broadcast room, but on the plane of reality, aside from a few people casting curious gazes over, nothing else had happened for the time being.
Long Seven smiled calmly in response. "I already said I'm an observer. Of course, I reported to the Xia City branch beforehand. And I also have membership in the Society. "
"Someone's smiling face is really asking for a beating."
"The waters here are deep."
"Mom, I see a conspiracy."
"What is the Xia City branch doing? This kind of situation needs to be fought! "
In a certain sense, beautiful women and beautiful men were the source of calamity, especially when they had the gift of attracting hatred.
The situation had changed a bit. Not only in the live broadcast room, but also in the venue, there were some buzzing sounds. Quite a few people already knew that Quantum Corporation had actually sent a so-called observer deep into the heart of the Shangding Building's circular conference room... They were openly making a fool out of themselves!
This was simply intolerable!
Some of the die-hard members of the Xia City branch were already rubbing their palms together. They were ready to get up and beat that pretty boy Long Seven into a pig's head and then kick him around like a ball.
The venue was a bit chaotic, so much so that He Yueyin, the host of the meeting, coughed lightly and temporarily interrupted Worker Zhai's speech. She regained control of the venue. "The members participating in the training have all been carefully considered and evaluated by the branch before they were invited. I hope everyone will abide by the venue's order and respect the lecturers and speakers. Thank you. "
He Yueyin's words had a hidden meaning. It suppressed the atmosphere that was on the verge of going out of control, but it made the discussion below grow even louder.
It was as if Long Seven was completely unaware that he had become the fuse. He continued to chat with Zhan Ji. His words were unrestrained: "Your live broadcast has given Officer He quite a headache. It wasn't easy for her to arrange for so many people to attend today's lecture."
It was great to have a guy who was courting death!
Zhan Ji keenly discovered an opportunity. If she could form a tacit understanding with this so-called observer and temporarily become partners, she might be able to dig out even more explosive points. So she immediately cooperated:
"What do you mean?"
"It's just as Officer He said. The people in the venue have been carefully selected. Let's not talk about talent. Quite a few people have considerable influence in Xia City. If our Boss Luo can make a name for himself, it will be much more convenient for him to do things in the future. His deterrent power will also increase. But now it seems that you've directly sent him into hell mode... Do you need me to escort you out of Xia City in a bit? "
"Hehe, I wouldn't dare to trouble you."
Zhan Ji laughed dryly in reply. She actually understood something. Limited by tradition and the fear of the secular world, the inner world was generally a relatively closed circle. Much of the influence they had towards the secular world needed the outer members to spread it out.
He Yueyin's plan could not be said to be incorrect in response to this situation. But right now these outer members were influenced by the live broadcast and the other Awakened ones. They already had a preconceived opinion of Luo Nan. And from Zhan Ji's aesthetic point of view, Luo Nan's age and attire really weren't impressive.
Indeed, she had adjusted the difficulty of the game for the youth who was about to step onto the podium to a very high level... How was he going to leave Xia City?
As luck would have it, Zhan Ji just so happened to meet Luo Nan's gaze as he scanned the venue. Under the influence of the illumination, it was impossible to distinguish for a time. Were those eyes empty, flustered, or vacant?
"The light spots and whirlpools of the mental world tend to be unified. Overall, they are quite negative, but they have yet to form a meaningful structure."
