Curiosity and exploration of the unknown was one of the eternal sources of motivation for humans.
Before obtaining the ability to appraise treasures, Zhou Hong's biggest dream was to buy a small but warm house in this city. Then, he would marry a gentle and considerate wife who didn't need to be beautiful. Then, he would be completely satisfied with having children.
After obtaining the "platinum eyes," he gained an astonishing amount of wealth in a very short period of time. Realizing his dream was not a problem at all, and he could live his life however he wanted from now on.
But when the money in his bank account became a number, the extravagant and depraved life made Zhou Hong feel empty, so he once again pursued the joy of appraising treasures.
He also wanted to know if he was unique in this world, and if there was anyone else with special abilities.
The original Zhou Hong was like a frog in a ditch by the roadside. He tried his best to jump out of the ditch he was hiding in and curiously explored the vast and boundless world outside.
Then, Zhou Hong realized that the world he was familiar with was far from as simple as it seemed.
There were countless secrets hidden in it.
And the source of the secrets basically came from Extraordinaires and the supernatural world!
Extraordinaires had existed for a long time. In the myths and folklore of both ancient and modern times, the figures of Extraordinaires were often hidden. However, most of the Extraordinaires' powers were exaggerated and distorted, so it was easy for people to feel that it was absurd and bizarre.
By chance, Zhou Hong got to know a strange person.
It was through this knowledgeable senior that he touched the edge of the supernatural world.
The existence of Extraordinaires had long been an open secret in certain circles, especially in many aristocratic families with thousands of years of heritage. They actually had a system of training and recruiting Extraordinaires.
And in the past 30 to 40 years, the number of Extraordinaires had increased, and Zhou Hong was just one of them!
"As far as I know …"
Zhou Hong lowered his voice and said to Zuo Yi, "In Da Xia, there is a Xiaya Extraordinary Federation. It is an official Extraordinaire organization responsible for managing the Extraordinaires in the country and handling Extraordinaire affairs. It is extremely powerful.
"The Extraordinaires in the Xiaya Extraordinary Federation are divided into six levels according to ABCDEF. Extraordinaires of the same level are further divided into six categories: strengthening, energy, nature, technology, mind, and mystery. My superpower probably belongs to the mystery category."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "It should be the lowest level, Level F."
This was the reason why Zhou Hong did not dare to enter the Transcendent World despite having come into contact with it.
He was simply too weak and did not have the ability to protect himself. Although he was a supernatural being, he could not even deal with an ordinary hooligan.
Of course, Zhou Hong could hire bodyguards, but the problem was that he didn't dare to expose his secret and had always lived alone.
If they found a supernatural being with ulterior motives, they would be in big trouble.
When he bumped into Zuo Yi today, Zhou Hong was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
Just now, he really felt that all his secrets had been seen through by Zuo Yi.
However, Zuo Yi had no interest in him.
It was precisely because he realized that Zuo Yi might also be a supernatural being and was not a bad person that Zhou Hong mustered the courage to communicate with him, hoping to learn more about the secrets of the supernatural.
Now, he was the one who deciphered the secrets for Zuo Yi. "The Xiaya Supernatural Federation is the Inner World, which is an important member of the Transcendent World. It is said that there are other supernatural organizations abroad, but I don't know the specifics.
"In addition, you can enter the Inner World by logging into the Inner Web, but you need a guide. I don't have the authority or account to access the Inner Web."
Zhou Hong was a little dejected.
He had wanted to ask Zuo Yi to be his guide in the Inner World, but he had ended up making a big mistake.
"That's about all I know."
Inner Web, Inner World, Xiaya Supernatural Federation, Level Six, Type Six supernatural beings …
Interesting!
After listening to Zhou Hong's explanation, Zuo Yi touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
The supernatural forces of the Blue Star World were much larger and more secretive than Zuo Yi had imagined, and they were very well hidden.
In the past, Zuo Yi and Zhou Hong lived different lives, but they both belonged to ordinary people. They did not realize the existence of supernatural beings or the Transcendent World at all.
Even if they occasionally saw news related to supernatural forces on the Internet, they would only believe the official explanation or treat it as fabricated stories and rumors.
But now that they had jumped out of the category of ordinary people, the world they could see was very different!
Zhou Hong looked at Zuo Yi sitting opposite him, and the fear in his heart turned into curiosity.
What level and type of supernatural being was Zuo Yi?
But he did not dare to ask, for fear of committing a taboo.
Zhou Hong's personality was very similar to a rabbit's. He was timid but had a strong sense of curiosity. He did not dare to take risks easily, but he trusted his intuition.
"Thank you."
Zuo Yi thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for providing me with this information. Well, in return, if you are willing, you can come to Tenhiro Budokan to learn fighting or swordsmanship from me."
How should he put it? After all, it was fate that they met. Zhou Hong was actually a good person and did not have any bad intentions. Although he did not know much, he could still be considered a reliable source.
Therefore, Zuo Yi was willing to give him a chance. As for whether he could grasp it or not, Zuo Yi did not care.
"Ah?"
Zhou Hong was a little confused. He did not expect Zuo Yi to make such a suggestion.
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "It's up to you whether you want to come or not. Think about it yourself."
After that, he said to the little girl who was feeding Teck snacks, "Baby, let's go home."
"Okay."
The Bao'er stuffed the last piece of sweet cake into the bottomless pit of foodie Tai, then clapped her hands and said, "Let's go home!"
Zuo Yi took her little hand and said to Zhou Hong, "Goodbye."
"Uh …"
Zhou Hong hurriedly stood up and said, "Goodbye."
At this moment, he was very conflicted. On the one hand, he felt the kindness from Zuo Yi. On the other hand, he was not very interested in learning fighting and swordsmanship. He did not know if he should accept Zuo Yi's suggestion.
"Goodbye, Big Brother."
The Bao'er politely waved at him and grabbed the dog leash. "Atay, let's go!"
Teck stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, wagging his tail as if he had not had enough.
Seeing that Zuo Yi was about to leave, Zhou Hong's heart skipped a beat. He quickly asked, "Mr. Zuo Yi, can I have your contact information?"
"Sure."
Zuo Yi happily added him on WeChat.
After bidding farewell to this cautious Extraordinary, Zuo Yi left Xixi Underground Market with the Bao'er.
Tonight's harvest was quite good. He harvested a wave of the Power of Faith, got to know Zhou Hong, and obtained some information about the Extraordinary World from him.
Of course, the funds in his bank account had also doubled.
Beep beep!
Zuo Yi had just sat on the Harley when his phone suddenly vibrated twice.
Zuo Yi took it out and saw that it was a message from the bank. "Dear Customer, according to your credit status and the transaction records in your account, your customer rating has been upgraded to four-star. You have the following privileges …"
It turned out that his bank account had been upgraded. After the upgrade, the overdraft limit had increased by 100,000 yuan, and the single transfer limit had increased to 2,000,000 yuan. There were also some new benefits.
This upgrade was obviously due to the previous income of 10 million yuan, which was quite good.
He believed that as he continued to spend money, his customer rating would be upgraded even more!
After putting away his phone and putting on his helmet, Zuo Yi started the motorcycle and took the Bao'er home.
Therefore, the Fantasy Star Sword was sold as soon as it was displayed, so it was not too late to get home.
Zuo Yi waited for the Bao'er to shower and go to bed. After that, he went to the basement workshop and prepared to make a few gadgets.
Just as he picked up the tools, Zuo Yi received a WeChat message from Zhou Hong. "Mr. Zuo, thank you. I have no plans to learn martial arts for the time being, so I won't bother you anymore."
After reading the message, Zuo Yi could not help but shake his head and reply with an "Okay."
After receiving the reply, Zhou Hong became worried. He did not know if his rejection had angered Zuo Yi. He could not help but secretly regret it. He thought that it would be better to continue living like this in the future.
Zhou Hong's curiosity and desire to explore the Extraordinary World had decreased by more than half.
However, it was hard to say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
After sending the message, Zuo Yi had a faint feeling that he would soon come into contact with the Bluestar Extraordinary World.
Zhou Hong's appearance was a precursor.
