"So many people?" Ning Jing frowned, "They can’t all be here to test for superpowers. I suppose most are here for the spectacle."
Lin Xian and his group walked over and said, "There must be at least a few thousand car teams in the city, with tens of thousands gathered here. Besides being here for the spectacle, many must have their own agendas."
KIKI crossed her arms, "Hearing you say that, it sounds like a talent market."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd turned colorful...
"Goodness, if a monster tide were to break out now, we’d all be toast!" Shi Deyuan said, looking at the dense crowd surrounding the church square.
"Not necessarily."
Just then, a loud female voice approached from the distance; everyone turned to see Monica leading a group of people briskly toward them. Surprisingly, her followers were all dressed in matching Lone Wolf A military rapid response power armor, with blue energy lines flashing, exuding a sense of imposing might!
Monica approached with a smile, "Almost all the most capable superpower users and enhancers in Xilan City are concentrated in this area. It wouldn’t be easy for ordinary monsters to break through here."
"Why are there so many people?"
Lin Xian asked, "Are they all here to test their superpowers?"
"No, today’s turnout is actually quite small. Not many arrived in Xilan City yesterday, and including those like you who arrived late at night, there are at most three thousand people. I estimate that only three to four hundred are here for testing."
Monica scanned the many superpower teams around Lin Xian and Shi Deyuan, "So many are actually here to see you."
"To see us?" Ning Jing asked, "What do you an?"
Monica gave a slight smile, "Yesterday, the Seventh Investigation Corps made a big spectacle escorting your car teams into the city and it drew a lot of attention. Many car teams are speculating that your teams might be high-level cooperation targets of the Phoenix Society. So bright and early, various car teams have gathered."
"Ha!" Shi Deyuan couldn’t help but laugh, "I was wondering what was so exciting, turns out they’re here for our spectacle. Haha, this situation is getting lively, we’ve beco the focus."
"How long for the three to four hundred people?" KIKI hovered in the air, looking toward the center of the square, surprised, "Is this testing very ti-consuming?"
Monica noticed KIKI’s unique flying ability, a peculiar look flashed in her eyes, then she said
"The peak value detection is fine, it’s just the extre coefficient that’s a bit more complex. Testing these few hundred people will likely take three to four hours."
Shi Deyuan heard this and said, "Three to four hours, that’s manageable, not too much of a delay."
"Let’s hurry over then, save ti," Lin Xian said sternly
He didn’t want to waste ti queuing; with that ti he might solve the ’Queen Mo’s’ malfunction, plus he had a lot of other things to do, not wanting to waste a second.
With this in mind, he looked at Monica, "Is your camp far? If the wait is long, I can go help with car repairs first."
Monica was delighted but showed a strange expression toward Lin Xian, "Not far, but..."
As she spoke, she glanced at the people behind Lin Xian, seemingly hesitant.
To Monica, having Lin Xian prioritize solving her issues was sothing she’d greatly welco, but she was curious. She clearly reminded Lin Xian yesterday that the testing ground was being watched by many car teams, and today’s buzz has only grown because of last night’s news. At a ti like this, Lin Xian had the thought of leaving to help with car repairs. Is he not worried about important figures in his car team being poached by others?
"OK~ After the testing, I’ll introduce you to a few major car team leaders, see if there’s a chance for mutual benefit~" Monica brushed aside her doubts and said to everyone.
"Alright, then let’s not waste any ti,"
Shi Deyuan waved a big hand, imdiately leading people toward the church square.
Monica bid them farewell with a aningful look, "Good luck~"
As the crowd moved in, more eyes turned to the mighty procession. Lin Xian looked around; even the rooftops of several tall buildings were filled with people. It seed they treated the Phoenix Society’s superpower testing as an apocalyptic side show, with discussions rampant.
On the church square, a large number of ard Investigation Corps soldiers were maintaining order, setting up barricades. The Phoenix Society had multiple checkpoints set up; Lin Xian and others walked over to find that everyone had to go through iris, biotric, and palm print registration, with a specialized gate recognition robot scanning and compiling data.
"Alloy Bullet Car Team, Wang Xiang."
[Scanning]
"Scan successful, Original Federation, Wang Xiang, birthplace: Gui City, Dragon Country, Citizen Number CN113284156802, Phoenix Society info syncing as Alloy Bullet Car Team, Wang Xiang, new survivor number recorded: D19526633."
"Please proceed."
The light curtain of the door fra recognition robot quickly scanned the information of a man at the front of a queue, and his original citizen data was rapidly retrieved, then updated and recorded into the Phoenix Society’s system.
"In such a situation, the Phoenix Society even considers population input,"
Shu Qin observed.
"It’s likely not just about population input. Those here for testing are either superpower users or enhancers. They probably want to use big data to study differentiated information among superpower users. It’s better than investigating individual cases,"
"Absolutely right,"
At this mont, a cheerful voice arrived, everyone heard a swoosh through the air, followed by Zhou Wuer and Peng Peng descending from the sky.
Lin Xian noticed at this ti that Zhou Wuer was being carried by Peng Peng, who had wind swirling beneath her feet without having wings. Her flight seed to be using this thod.
"Captain Lin, waited for you all night, seems like you were busy last night," Zhou Wuer said with a grin.
Lin Xian nodded but asked with so surprise, "At night, do you also test at night?"
"Considering safety concerns, mainly worrying that large fluctuations in the spirit vibration value might cause unnecessary troubles, generally we don’t test at night. But you are a special case, we invited you proactively, so if you ca, testing at night wouldn’t have been out of the question~" Zhou Wuer replied.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier..." KIKI crossed her arms, "I was already asleep~"
Lin Xian was also speechless. Had he known, he’d have done it last night and would have had free ti to build a PX-05 robot or even a 1130 close-in weapon system...
