Chapter 41

The OP’s first conjecture was refuted by the majority.

28L: How could there be so many dual special abilities? This kind of setting is inherently rare and precious. My “wife” already has dual water and fire special abilities. Black-haired boy can’t possibly have dual special abilities, right? (Shocked)

29L: I think dual special abilities are definitely possible, but the probability isn’t high. Since Bai Xuechao is already clearly a dual special ability user, they can’t immediately introduce another one, otherwise the dual special ability setting would become common and worthless.

30L: Agreed with the above.

31L: Then the thing extracted from Qiao Jing’s body becomes very important. It can determine whether it’s a special ability or a tool.

32L: Speaking of which, Black-haired boy and my “wife” both have fire special abilities. (Pondering)

33L: Yes, generally speaking, the same ability shouldn’t appear in the same work, right? But if Bai Guzi set it up that way, there’s nothing wrong with it.

34L: Am I the only one who feels the scent of a destined rival overflowing from the screen? My “wife” has a fire special ability, Black-haired boy also has a fire special ability, maybe in the future, the two will have a fire-on-fire showdown! (Pushing glasses emoji)

35L: Now that you mention it, Black-haired boy and my “wife” are even opposite colors. What else could it be but destined rivals? (Laughing-crying emoji)

36L: Oh, that’s right. Since ancient times, black and white, red and blue make a CP. Both my “wife” and Black-haired boy have those, hahaha. So, will they come out together in the future? (Rubbing hands)

…

59L [OP]: I won’t discuss the possibility of dual special abilities, after all, that’s a setting issue, entirely up to Bai Guzi’s thoughts.

Regarding the second type, if it’s some kind of tool, although it feels very unscientific, in a world with special abilities, there’s nothing scientific or unscientific anymore. However, the biggest problem is that I didn’t see Black-haired boy using any tools. Maybe it’s on his wrist? But the cuffs of his round-collared robe blocked his wrist, so it couldn’t be seen.

Actually, there’s an even more outrageous but quite possible conjecture.

Perhaps Black-haired boy doesn’t have a fire special ability, because the special ability column in his appendix has a question mark. Doesn’t everyone find that strange? If it were fire, it would just say fire.

If his special ability isn’t fire, a bold guess would be that it might extract special ability power from a special ability user’s body to form that crystal, and then use the crystal to release flames or other elemental attacks?

Upon seeing this, Bai Xuechao couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh. His ruby-like beautiful eyes held a slight smile.

Xiao 6 asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Host?”

“Nothing, I just found the readers’ ideas quite interesting.” Bai Xuechao rested his hand on his chin, tapping his cool fingertips on the side of his face, and said in an admiring tone, “I think this idea seems good.”

Xiao 6: “Ah?”

Bai Xuechao seemed to have suddenly gained interest. He sat up straight and asked, “What do you think if I eat the special ability crystal in front of the male lead and his teammates next time?”

Xiao 6 displayed a “cat shocked” emoji pack in front of him: “No way, you’ll vomit blood if you eat it.”

“Of course, I’ll leave before I vomit blood.” Bai Xuechao thought about it, finding it quite interesting, and nodded, “Then it’s happily decided.”

Xiao 6: =A=

Xiao 6 said, “That’s not what I meant! I meant you’d be very weak after eating the special ability crystal…”

“Don’t worry, it won’t kill me.” Bai Xuechao leaned back into the sofa. Without waiting for Xiao 6 to say anything further, he spoke first, “Can you open two manga pages simultaneously? I want to see the appendix.”

He had wanted to see it before, and now that it was mentioned in the post, it was a good time to take a look.

Xiao 6 displayed the manga page in front of Bai Xuechao.

Bai Xuechao flipped to the end to look at the appendix.

This chapter’s appendix spanned several pages. It contained the character introductions written in this post, as well as introductions to special ability energy crystals, the Dark Organization, and the Apocalypse Society. The information provided was basically all he already knew.

He mainly looked at the appendix for his alias and found that Bai Guzi provided very little information. However, it might also be because Bai Guzi didn’t know how he wanted to develop this alias and feared that providing information now would lead to contradictions later. Apart from age, the alias’s name, special ability, and alimentary preferences were all question marks. It only stated that he was a member of the Dark Organization and a friend of Duan Xingzhi.

Therefore, when the alias appears next time, other information should also be refined.

Bai Xuechao continued to read the post.

The OP’s other conjectures about his special ability unexpectedly received a lot of support from manga readers.

60L: Ah, indeed… it’s really strange that Black-haired boy’s appendix lists his special ability as a question mark. Earlier, when Duan Xingzhi appeared and used his special ability, the appendix directly stated his special ability was electricity.

61L: I actually think so too. What 33L said earlier makes sense; generally, the same ability shouldn’t appear in the same work. So, Black-haired boy’s fire might not be an elemental special ability fire, but rather the product of another special ability?

62L: Although this idea is truly outrageous, I feel there’s a really high possibility.

63L: I thought dual special abilities were unreliable, but tools were also unreliable. After much thought, the most outrageous one actually turned out to be the most plausible.

…

69L [OP]: I think the key is still what exactly the crystal extracted from Qiao Jing’s body is. Since the appendix listed it separately, it must be different from a special ability energy crystal. I lean towards this being Black-haired boy’s special ability.

The following floors were some agreements, as well as conjectures about Black-haired boy’s special ability and what the crystal was, spanning dozens of floors.

101L [OP]: Finally, let’s talk about the two villain organizations, the Dark Organization and the Apocalypse Society.

The Dark Organization’s base is in this building, described as being located in Y City. [Skyscraper screenshot.jpg]

The characters that have appeared so far are the leader Liu He, Duan Xingzhi, and Black-haired boy. Based on the fact that Duan Xingzhi and Black-haired boy can directly meet the leader, I guess their status must not be low, and their special ability levels are also quite high, so they are at least high-ranking members.

The special ability energy crystal that Black-haired boy took back was the Dark Organization’s third one. The Dark Organization’s goal might be to collect special ability energy crystals.

As for why they collect special ability energy crystals, looking at Liu He’s introduction, he seems to pursue longevity. Is it possible that he thinks special ability energy crystals can extend life? Of course, this is just my guess. And by the way, here’s another question—how many special ability energy crystals does the SAIDB have?

The appendix provides a very detailed introduction to special ability energy crystals. It’s such a useful item, so the official agency couldn’t possibly not have any.

As for the Apocalypse Society, it’s described as being in S City, an illegal organization on par with the Dark Organization. Currently, only the leader has appeared, and his purpose is unclear, but the leader is clearly interested in the male lead’s special ability. I’m guessing he might target the male lead.

Moreover, based on the information that it’s on par with the Dark Organization, and the Dark Organization has already featured two special ability users, there must be more than just two. So, this organization should also have many special ability users.

On a side note, this leader’s evaluation of the male lead’s special ability was “interesting,” which I think might be another fun-loving person setting.

The main storyline will probably be about collecting special ability energy crystals and defeating these two villain organizations.

102L: I just want to know all the information about the Apocalypse Society’s leader. (Domineering CEO face)

103L: I also feel that “interesting” has a certain vibe. Could it be that all the white-haired characters in this work are set as fun-loving people? (Laughing-crying emoji)

104L: The main storyline should be collecting special ability energy crystals. Then the Dark Organization is the competitor. The Apocalypse Society’s position is still unknown; the next arc should reveal some information.

105L: The Apocalypse Society’s leader is interested ♂ in the male lead.

106L: …The symbols above are so strange, let me look again. (Popcorn falling out of hand.jpg)

The readers had many ideas, but since very little information was currently available, their conjectures weren’t very useful for reference. Therefore, Bai Xuechao read a few more floors down and then exited.

Bai Xuechao knew more information than the readers, and he could probably guess what the Apocalypse Society’s leader wanted to do to Zhou Chenhao.

The perverted villain leader of the Apocalypse Society was truly a fun-loving person and very problematic.

Once, an organization sent assassins to kill him. After the assassination failed, he sent a USB drive back to them. The USB drive contained a video of that assassin.

In the video, the assassin had completely lost his dignity as a human, kneeling on the ground like a dog, eating dog food from a stainless steel bowl, occasionally barking. A dog chain was around his neck, the other end of which was held by the person filming the video.

A somewhat sickly sweet voice said, “I’ll temporarily take your organization’s assassin, he’s quite interesting.”

After this video was acquired by the Dark Organization’s intelligence department, Bai Xuechao unfortunately watched it and only felt a chill.

It wasn’t fear.

It was because he could see that the assassin was controlled by a special ability. The leader of the Apocalypse Society truly had a perverted, twisted sense of humor; he couldn’t appreciate it.

It was said that a week later, the assassin died, and his corpse was sent back to that organization.

Bai Xuechao, again unfortunately, had seen the corpse photos.

The assassin died with his eyes wide open, already unfocused and cloudy. His throat was cut, but the knife stuck in his throat was held in his own hand, making it seem as if he had slit his own throat. What was chilling was that his face bore a strange, even somewhat blissful smile.

From then on, Bai Xuechao’s impression of the Apocalypse Society’s leader was: perverted villain.

Now, the male lead Zhou Chenhao was targeted by this perverted villain.

Bai Xuechao guessed that the perverted villain most likely wanted to try if he could control Zhou Chenhao. He might also have other special ability users attack Zhou Chenhao to test his special ability. If he found Zhou Chenhao’s special ability useful, he might even “invite” Zhou Chenhao to join the Apocalypse Society. Of course, the only result would be agreement; he would have to agree even if he didn’t want to.

Bai Xuechao thought that perhaps in the future, he would have to save the male lead from the Apocalypse Society’s leader.

Having finished reading both the manga and the forum, Bai Xuechao stood up and stretched, moving his body around, preparing to sleep.

He said to Xiao 6 while brushing his teeth, “Show me the next plot.”

“Oh, oh, coming up!” Xiao 6 posted a small outline.

Original Outline: The male lead and his teammates investigated the whereabouts of a special ability energy crystal, tracked it to A Port, entered the Dream Game City, played games with the City Lord, won, and obtained the special ability energy crystal.

“Dream Game City.” Bai Xuechao murmured the name, tilted his head, and asked, “How is it ‘dreamy’?”

He remembered that the special ability user’s special ability was “Game City,” but it wasn’t “dreamy.”

Xiao 6 said in a deep tone, “A paradise for gambling addicts!”
