Lantian Base City.
Central Hospital, Ward 302.
"I've transmigrated?"
Ling Jiu's expression was a little interesting. He was originally an ordinary office worker on Earth, running around for three meals a day.
When he woke up, he had transmigrated to this world and was reborn as a teenager with the same name.
He had nothing to worry about on Earth anyway, and it was just the right time to start a new life. The problem was...
This world was dangerous!
The memory of his predecessor told him that this was a parallel world also called Earth.
It was not until a disaster known as the "Direbeast Invasion" swept the world that this Earth embarked on a path of no return.
Many dimensional rifts suddenly appeared on Earth.
A magical energy later known as "Gene Arcana" gushed out of the rifts and spread around the world, eventually leading to the evolution of animals and plants on Earth.
Docile cats became ferocious Direbeasts; loyal dogs became bloodthirsty and brutal demons; even potted plants at home evolved into ferocious man-eating trees.
As for wolves, tigers, leopards, birds, and beasts living in the wild, strictly adhering to the law of the jungle, they evolved into terrifying Direbeasts that could destroy the world.
Disaster inevitably broke out!
Countless Direbeasts began to attack human settlements, and humans rose up to resist, only to find that the firearms that they were proud of could only kill some low-level Direbeasts.
Even nuclear weapons, as a strategic deterrent, could not play the role it should. The consequences were catastrophic, and humans suddenly fell from the top of the food chain to the bottom!
Countless people died tragically!
Countless cities were destroyed!
Countless families were torn apart!
In just a few years, the world's total population plummeted from six billion to three billion, and a total of half of the world's people died tragically under the claws of Direbeasts.
"How did I transmigrate to such a dangerous world?" Ling Jiu felt suffocated.
This was an absolutely dangerous world, and even living in a base city was still dangerous.
Lantian Base City, where he was located, was only a medium-sized base city with a population of no more than five million. If they encountered a slightly stronger Direbeast, there was a risk of its defense being breached.
The teenager Ling Jiu he had possessed was seriously injured by a Direbeast that broke into the base city and was hospitalized.
"Also, the teenager with the same name as me seems to be the second generation. His cheap father just declared bankruptcy last month, and he still owes hundreds of millions..."
Ling Jiu was on the verge of breaking down. He had finally caught up with the wave of transmigration, yet he ended up in such a dangerous place, and he even transmigrated into the body of a negative second generation. Ling Jiu cursed in his heart.
"Forget it, since I'm already here, I'll just take things as they come!"
Ling Jiu's attention quickly shifted to another thing, the arcanists.
Animals and plants had evolved under the stimulation of Gene Arcana, and humans, as a part of Earth, were no exception.
A very small number of lucky ones had also evolved under the nourishment of Gene Arcana and gained all kinds of incredible abilities.
Flame control, metal control, gravity control, teleportation, extreme speed …
People called these abilities … Espers, and those who possessed Espers were … Espers!
The emergence of Arcanists gave humans the capital to fight against the Direbeasts. With the help of Arcanists, humans quickly built a survival base and survived.
It could be said that in this world where Direbeasts wreaked havoc and danger lurked everywhere, Arcanists protected humans and fought the Direbeasts while also holding all kinds of privileges. Every Arcanist was a person above others!
"Arcanists, not to mention the identity and status of Arcanists, just having Espers is too tempting!" Ling Jiu's eyes glowed green.
In his previous life, Arcanists only existed in novels, comics, movies, and TV dramas. But in this world, Arcanists really existed!
Some could control lightning and fire, some could transform into giants, some could teleport, and some could move as fast as light...
"It's too tempting! If I also had Espers, it would be too awesome... "
The more Ling Jiu thought about it, the more excited he became.
"There are generally two ways to become an Arcanist. First, Arcana Talent!
"Most Arcanists have Arcana Talent. As long as they reach the right age and participate in the Arcana Test, they can awaken their Arcana!
"The problem is, there are very few people with Arcana talents. There may not be one in a thousand people with Arcana talents, so Arcanists are very rare. In the entire Lantian Base City's population of five million, there are only a few thousand Arcanists!"
"Second, Arcana Potion!
"Gene Arcana appeared 30 years ago. After such a long time of research, scientists have successfully developed the Arcana Potion!
"I heard that just one bottle of Arcana Potion can let ordinary people without Arcana Talent successfully awaken their Arcana. It's a pity that this thing is too expensive!"
Ling Jiu sighed. A bottle of Arcana Potion was worth hundreds of millions of Arcana coins, and it would be snatched by all parties as soon as it appeared. Not to mention that his cheapskate dad was bankrupt, even if he was not, he could not afford it.
"Now it seems that I can only pin my hopes on the Arcana Test in half a month!"
It was worth mentioning that although there were Arcanists in this world, most people were still just ordinary people.
So Huaxia still retained the college entrance examination system, and the month before the college entrance examination was the Arcana Test.
As long as one could test their Arcana Talent during the Arcana Test, the trajectory of their life would change dramatically.
There was no need to take the college entrance examination, no need to go to college, and directly be recruited by an Arcana company. Then, a completely different and wonderful life would begin.
"Brother, how are you?"
Just as Ling Jiu was deep in thought, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful girl in a school uniform walked in with a bag of fruits.
What a kawaii girl!
She was a goddess!
Ling Jiu's eyes widened!
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" The beautiful girl looked puzzled.
"I... I'm fine!"
