Some people finished turning in their missions at the front desk and then went to the left to pick up other missions.
To the left of the hall was a void big screen. The principle behind it was unknown, projecting images into the air with absolute clarity, up to trillions of pixels.
It displayed newly released missions, real-time news reports, information about powerful adventurers, and rankings.
Feng Li learned that adventurers were ranked as follows: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and King.
Chapter 32: Void Screen, Great Forest Map, Curious Wen Ya [Seeking Everything for New Book]
The higher the level, the stronger the corresponding abilities, and the wider the scope of missions that could be accepted. However, it also came with significant responsibilities, as higher-level adventurers often undertook dangerous missions.
Like the previous wall invasion.
For example, opening up a passage between two cities and exploring forbidden zones of life.
Many high-level espers and various adventuring teams were dispatched.
In this world, laws were very strict, especially in the East. Espers were absolutely forbidden from harming civilians, using superpowers for immoral purposes. Discovery of such acts resulted in the highest penalty: death!
This was also to curb the unchecked actions of espers and maintain social stability and peace.
After all, even the East had experienced a period of turmoil fifty years ago.
But precisely because of this, the East enjoyed peace and prosperity.
Young espers also underwent professional schooling.
Unlike foreign countries where espers had noble privileges, in the East, greater power meant greater responsibility.
All of this was known to Feng Li from the memories of those six people.
It was precisely because of this that foreign tycoons flocked to the East, as it was a truly peaceful society.
Of course, that's all by the by.
At this moment, Feng Li did not go to the front desk first.
Instead, he, along with the System Girl, curiously explored everything in the hall.
In short, he was looking for escape routes!
If the entrance were to be sealed off, he would need a way to escape.
Feng Li acted nonchalantly, while the System Girl helped search for blind spots in the surveillance that could be used for escape.
Unknowingly, the two arrived at the left side of the hall, gazing at the giant void projection screen, where various information, training exercises, and missions flickered continuously.
There were also city weather forecasts, newly appearing dangerous areas, and precautions.
Tasks of all kinds were densely packed on the screen, from hunting outside the city walls and exploring an area, to mundane chores like helping clean up street garbage. After all, superpowers were very convenient.
In short, the myriad of tasks left Feng Li dazzled.
As for how to accept missions, it was very simple.
One only needed to insert their identity crystal card into one of the countless grids beneath the big screen to log in their identity information and accept missions corresponding to their level.
That's right, it was the long crystal card Feng Li had obtained.
But he didn't know if it would be useful yet.
Feng Li saw the Great Forest outside the city walls, displaying various regions and mutated beast distribution. This information was provided free of charge by the city government hall.
It was to better assist in completing missions.
Feng Li secretly activated his Origin Eye, memorizing this information with his photographic memory.
As the saying goes, intelligence is life!
This information, which was ordinary to others, was very important to Feng Li.
He wouldn't have to wander around outside like a headless fly.
Even if his anonymous identity was discovered this time, he could remember the Great Forest map and find a way to head outside the walls.
"Ah, I'm so bored." Just as Feng Li was busy recording, across the hall, a key administrative staff member, a beautiful receptionist popular among adventurers, Miss Wen Ya, sat on her chair and yawned.
Because Binhai City was hosting the Binhai Festival next door, ninety-nine percent of adventurers had rushed over there.
She had been swamped before, but now she was bored to death.
Only a few people came in the morning, and there weren't many people in the hall.
As she was feeling bored, suddenly, in the vast City Hall, Wen Ya saw an incredibly beautiful and ethereal young girl.
She was brimming with spiritual energy, like a princess from a fairytale, possessing a unique aura, with flowing long hair, fair skin, and crimson eyes, gazing at the mission screen.
She was like the most perfect artifact in the world, involuntarily attracting the attention of surrounding adventurers, and naturally, Wen Ya's attention as well.
"Wow, what a cute little sister!" Wen Ya was surprised. The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen, perhaps even younger, underage, maybe fourteen?
But shouldn't a fourteen-year-old girl be in school? Why was she here? And without a guardian nearby?
So Wen Ya walked over curiously, "Little sister, what are you doing standing here?"
The girl turned her stunning face, "I'm sorry, I'm a boy."
"A boy?!" Wen Ya was startled, "Really?" After a good while, she reacted, "Are you really a boy? Your voice is like a lark's, and I don't even see your Adam's apple!"
Feng Li's face was filled with black lines. He was often mistaken for a girl before his transmigration, and now his skin was crystal clear and white, as delicate as porcelain, making it even easier to be misidentified.
The System Girl was already doubled over with laughter nearby.
Sensing Feng Li's displeasure, Wen Ya quickly apologized, "Ah, sorry, sorry!!"
She was perceptive and could keenly sense the emotions of her customers.
Feng Li nodded, indicating his forgiveness.
"Uh, little sister, cough cough. Little brother, why did you come here alone?" Wen Ya asked curiously.
"I'm here to register my awakening and become an adventurer," Feng Li said without thinking.
"Awakening registration?" Wen Ya blinked, "Come here."
She pulled Feng Li towards the front desk.
At this time, Wen Ya was still wondering if Feng Li was joking, because espers under sixteen were not allowed to register.
And a fourteen-year-old boy should be in school.
Receiving unified training, and only at sixteen would he be eligible to register as an adventurer.
Although Wen Ya found the beautiful young boy before her charming, she still had to check which school he attended and then notify his tutor.
Feng Li followed, remaining silent the entire time. Saying more would lead to more mistakes; it was better to see what the other party said first.
Feng Li had already prepared his escape route.
Upon arriving at the front desk, many of the female staff members crowded around the beautiful young girl.
"Alright, alright, you fangirls, work! Work!" Wen Ya dispersed them and then put on a professional smile, "Little brother, which school are you from?"
"School? I'm sorry, I don't have a school," Feng Li shook his head, "I just awakened my abilities yesterday, so I came to register."
Every sudden awakening of an esper was uncertain, just like the strange phenomena that appeared suddenly. It was possible for him to be an ordinary person one moment and an esper the next.
Once awakened as an esper, one had to register at the City Hall. Feng Li's statement was not wrong.
"Awakened yesterday? Then show me your identity information card."
Chapter 33: Verifying Information, Registering Awakened One, Exquisite Wristwatch [Seeking Everything for New Book]
Ordinary students who awaken usually have their tutors or parents accompanying them. Since Feng Li came alone, Wen Ya asked for his identity information card.
This way, his family, guardian, school, birthplace, and date of birth would be clearly displayed.
Feng Li took out the card that required a drop of blood for registration.
He was prepared to escape.
As soon as he noticed something was wrong, he would immediately flash and become invisible to escape.
He had already planned his escape route.
At this moment, Wen Ya took the crystal card and inserted it into a nearby device, looking at the computer, "Strange..."
Upon hearing "strange," Feng Li immediately prepared to flee.
But Wen Ya suddenly said, "You're actually sixteen years old? How can you be sixteen? I thought you were only fourteen!"
"!!!!" Feng Li's face was filled with black lines, but he still braced himself and asked, "Are there any other problems?"
Wen Ya frowned and didn't speak. On the computer screen, Feng Li's information was displayed.
"Wait a moment, I'll make a call." Saying that, Wen Ya dialed a number.
Feng Li's heart pounded. He was ready to flee, as this clearly meant they were calling for backup!
They would stabilize him first and then catch him by surprise.
At that moment, Feng Li was about to flash and become transparent to escape.
"Host, wait!" But just as Feng Li was about to do so, the System Girl suddenly spoke, "She doesn't seem to be calling for backup, but rather to verify something."
"Verify something?"
At this moment, the System Girl was next to Wen Ya, eavesdropping on her conversation and looking at the text messages they exchanged.
Because of the System Girl's words, Feng Li calmed down for the time being.
The System wouldn't betray him, right? They were in the same boat.
At this time, Wen Ya was verifying information.
The reason was that Feng Li was one of the thirteen infants who had disappeared from Hong City a long time ago.
He was trafficked into the Heretic Church.
However, because the Heretic Church Branch was eliminated this time, he was rescued.
Therefore, he had been out of touch with society, and his information also indicated his corresponding residence.
This was why Wen Ya had to call the Human Resources Department to confirm.
The head of Human Resources confirmed that it was true!
And they also provided detailed information.
Seeing this information provided by Human Resources, Wen Ya naturally had no further doubts.
The System Girl also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
This was clearly a well-prepared situation.
As for whether it was the Gatekeeper of Ten Thousand Worlds or the Heretic Church, that was unknown.
The System Girl gave Feng Li a reassuring look, then flew over, "Host, don't worry, there are no more problems."
Feng Li acted nonchalantly and nodded.
"The computer shows that you've been missing for a long time," Wen Ya said, looking at the computer. "Wait, it's true that some individuals were rescued during the elimination of the Heretic Church Branch. As expected, you are one of them!"
"Alright, no problem." Wen Ya placed her hands on the keyboard and then looked at Feng Li with sympathy, "Little brother, although your background is difficult and your parents are deceased, society will not abandon you. Welcome back to civilized society!"
"Mmm." Feng Li nodded. He had already seen this information, he just didn't expect it to pass.
At this moment, Wen Ya suddenly said with concern, "Little brother, you should come here more often. If you need anything, I'll try my best to help, understand?"
Such a cute little brother with such a pitiable background was like a destined protagonist. Her sympathy was overflowing.
"Mmm." Feng Li nodded. He just wanted to leave quickly, so he perfunctorily replied, "Uh... Miss. Could you please help me register? My age should qualify me to become an Awakened One."
"Just call me Sister, or Wen Ya," Wen Ya smiled slightly. "Indeed, your age allows you to register as awakened. And because of your special circumstances, I'll handle it for you."
Wen Ya took Feng Li's crystal card and swiped it on the device. "Now, unleash your awakened ability on this machine. The machine will automatically determine your superpower, attribute, and corresponding level. Then you can register as an esper."
"Okay!" Feng Li's fist was wrapped in flames, and he punched the machine, erupting with a "Boom!"
"Flame Talent! Elemental Bursting System?" Wen Ya was surprised. "Not bad, little brother. Elemental system superpowers are among the most unreasonable abilities, making them very powerful and quite rare. And fire is one of the most powerful elemental forces. With destructive power, once it reaches S-class, it can materialize mental energy to form a domain. At SS-class, one can ignite the 'divine fire' and comprehend their own unique abilities. This is another level of power."
"Domain? Divine fire? Unique abilities?" Feng Li's eyes widened.
These were things he had never heard of. The memories of the six poachers did not contain such information.
"Mm, these are things you would originally learn in class," Wen Ya smiled. "The initial power of your fire superpower isn't very strong yet, only D-class. But you have extraordinary talent and are a precious elemental ability user. Your future is limitless. As long as you undergo specialized training and guidance to improve your body and mental energy, you'll quickly advance in levels."
"So that's how it is," Feng Li nodded. "Thank you, Sister Wen Ya. Are the results of my superpower out yet?"
"Mmm, they are out." Wen Ya returned the card to Feng Li and said, "Wait a moment." Then she brought over a pile of documents. "Fill out these forms, and you'll be an officially recognized awakened esper. Due to your special situation, you can also enroll in specialized social schools for free in the future. They provide various teachings aimed at improving and utilizing unreasonable abilities."
"Th-this much?" Seeing the mountain of documents, Feng Li looked astonished.
"Because they require your signature." Wen Ya handed him a pen. "These forms were originally to be filled out by a guardian, but now you have to fill them yourself. Don't worry, I'll teach you how to fill them out if you don't understand anything."
"Okay." Feng Li nodded, and thus, under Wen Ya's guidance, they spent the entire morning filling out documents.
"Alright, little brother, from now on, you are an Awakened One," Wen Ya organized the documents and looked at Feng Li seriously. "Awakened ones are Pioneers. You possess superhuman abilities and must always be the first to step into various dangerous places, protect civilians, and guard ordinary people. This is the primary responsibility of all espers. As the saying goes, with greater power comes greater responsibility. Please uphold the honor of the East's pioneers. Understand?"
"Sister, I will," Feng Li took a deep breath and nodded. "So, can I go pick up missions now?"
"Not yet, take this with you first." Wen Ya picked up a small box, inside which was an exquisite wristwatch.
Liang Ruo also wore a similar watch.
Chapter 34: Memories from Long Ago, The Golden Legend! [Seeking Everything for New Book]
"This is a smartwatch. It displays your location, and has functions like communication, contact, recording, video recording, internet access, and file transfer. It's like a mobile phone from the past, but more portable and lightweight. It's very dangerous outside the walls. When you encounter danger, use it to send a distress signal. It's also a form of security. Furthermore, you can use it to record kills of mutated beasts, allocate team shares for adventuring groups, submit them upon return, and for digital currency payments."
Feng Li nodded and consciously put on the watch. He didn't want to cause any trouble at this moment.
"I'll take you there," Wen Ya smiled, wanting to take care of this pitiful little brother a bit more.
Feng Li and the System Girl followed Wen Ya to the mission hall on the left.
Wen Ya pointed to the electronic board. "Missions are divided into A-class, B-class, C-class, D-class, E-class, F-class, G-class, and the difficult S-class, SS-class, and the extremely difficult SSS-class."
She explained, "Little brother, you are just starting out. You should begin with the simplest missions and gradually adapt. You can start with missions inside the walls, such as cleaning, tidying, searching for people, organizing, demolition, and construction. Your unreasonable abilities can be used for all of them, and the pay is not bad. After three months, when your level reaches Bronze, you will be eligible to go outside the walls for hunting and escort missions."
"What!? Three months? I can't go out now? Outside the walls?" Feng Li's expression changed in shock.
"Little brother!! How old are you? Do you know how dangerous it is outside the walls?" Wen Ya's stunning face showed a hint of displeasure, but more out of responsibility and concern. "You have no mission experience, nor have you encountered mutated beasts. Going out now is tantamount to seeking death! Even if I let you go, the outposts at the wall won't let you out. Do you understand?"
Feng Li looked dejected. He couldn't very well say that he was a mutated beast in disguise, could he? It was clearly impossible.
He came to register as an Awakened One precisely to head outside the walls quickly to devour powerful mutated beasts and strengthen himself.
He couldn't wait for three months!
Regrettably, he had to suppress his disgust and use the tactic he habitually employed before his transmigration: "Sister, please..."
Seeing Feng Li's pitiful appearance, Wen Ya's heart melted.
Indeed, this move was very effective.
Wen Ya couldn't resist Feng Li's pitiful onslaught and finally relented, "Alright, alright, Sister will figure something out."
"How about this? Sister will let you join an adventuring team. They are also going out, and they are all reliable people. You can learn experience by joining them, and with others leading you, Sister will be more at ease. Otherwise, even if I allow it, the outpost won't let you out."
"Thank you, Sister!" Feng Li smiled very happily.
Wen Ya blushed, "Little brother, you're being too much."
"Alright, come back in three days. I'll introduce you to them then."
"Okay."
Feng Li walked out of the City Hall and looked up at the sky. "Three days."
The clouds in the sky drifted by, one by one.
"System, what kind of world is it outside?"
"I don't know," the System Girl tilted her head. "That's for the host to explore."
"...Ha." Feng Li yawned. "I'll go back and sleep first. I haven't slept properly for days. I need to recharge."
"Host, sleeping too long will turn you into a pig," the System Girl chuckled.
"Mind your own business!"
The two walked in the direction of home.
Upon returning home, Feng Li fell into a deep sleep.
Then, he had a dream about himself.
This was a memory from a long, long time ago.
He was very young then.
No parents, no past, no idea where he came from.
In a strange city, on strange streets.
Wandering aimlessly on the street.
But at that moment, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Finally... I've found you."
It was a little girl with white hair, dressed in white clothes.
"Host, what's wrong?"
"Huh?"
Feng Li opened his eyes in a daze, finding a beautiful face before him.
"You're crying," the System Girl said with a worried expression.
