"Sorry everyone... I’m not feeling well today, so that’s it for the livestream."
"Please continue to watch my channel tomorrow."
Jiang Siqi forced a final smile to say goodbye to her followers as she glanced at the screen filled with mocking and jeering comnts. She then closed the livestream room.
At the mont the cara went black, she angrily raised the mouse, wanting to smash it on the ground.
It was all that damned criminal’s fault. Being on the Urban TV’s hit show should have been a turning point in her life, but it turned into a fiasco because of a cri.
She was indeed lucky to be alive.
But afterwards, when she browsed the videos uploaded online, she wished she could just die on the spot!
What the hell were those!
Her exaggerated expressions falling to the ground, writhing like a worm, shaking hands like a sieve, almost wet under her skirt—she didn’t even have the face to finish watching these humiliating scenes.
What’s even more infuriating was that even during such a tense mont, soone kept filming her, long-focus lens locking onto her face tightly, not missing a single detail.
She even suspected whether the caraman had a grudge against her from a past life.
"Aaaaaah! You can all go to hell!"
It’d be better if a toxic balloon fell and poisoned everyone in the filming hall to death! Then nobody would have the ti to mock her.
Jiang Siqi’s hand was halfway through the air, yet stopped abruptly.
Because the wireless mouse cost her over two hundred bucks. If it were smashed, she’d incur the greatest loss.
The unvented emotions rebounded, turning her overwhelming anger into grievance, her nose souring, almost making her burst into tears right there.
The people who insulted her were just enjoying themselves at their keyboards, not once considering how they would react if they switched places with her, staring at a living person with their skin turning inside out, internal organs crawling out and rging with the floor.
She was scared like this because she was standing closest to that mutated criminal accomplice!
In the past, Jiamg Siqi also made a fair share of smug comnts online, not knowing how stifling this feeling would be until she faced the sa treatnt herself.
And that nonsensical man who appeared on stage... What’s he showing off for! Jiang Siqi put down the mouse and banged her head on the table, making her head buzz. She hated that person for making a fool of her in front of the cara, but at the sa ti, she understood that in a way, he was her savior... not just hers, but everyone in the filming hall owed him a life-saving favor.
They were all Superpower Users, why couldn’t she have such a powerful ability?
Thinking of this, she even started to dislike herself a bit.
No way, no way, you’re the cute and energetic Magical Girl Si Tian, how can you just give up like this?
In a sense, Jiang Siqi knew this wasn’t entirely a bad thing. As they say, black fans are also fans. Although most people ca to watch her joke, the number of people in the livestream room kept climbing. The variety show labeled her as an internet celebrity for the hype, she was only sowhat famous in the Superpower circuit, with an average audience of four or five hundred watching her before. Now it was close to thirty thousand.
As long as she could withstand the pressure, or simply beco a clown to entertain everyone, she might be able to reap the traffic benefits.
However, that was not Jiang Siqi’s initial purpose for live streaming.
She wanted to be an internet celebrity.
But she also wanted to be a righteous superpower hero!
Just then, a site ssage notification popped up at the top of the website she frequently stread on. With so many people mocking her these days, it was only natural for many to follow and ssage her. Jiang Siqi initially intended to dismiss it, but a brief title caught her attention.
"Do you want to join the organization?"
Organization? Her hand stopped short of clicking close.
Now what else could these two words refer to... only the Dinsional Limit chanism, right?
Jiang Siqi knew well that aside from the frequent TV station ability cri incidents recently making headlines, another heated topic was the organization deciding to recruit openly.
A super-secret organization truly understanding abilities and how to train Ability Users —if you asked her if she wanted to go, the answer would naturally be yes!
But she knew now, having gone on stage and competed, what her level truly was. Even if she wasn’t afraid of public ridicule on the day of open recruitnt and vied for a position with a bunch of peers, getting turned down was highly probable.
So she directly replied with, "No, thank you."
No response ca from the other side, nor was there a friend request. The conversation seed to end just like that.
What was this... wasn’t this person here to mock her?
Driven by an inexplicable impulse, Jiang Siqi clicked on the other person’s default avatar.
She soon discovered that the user was rather unusual. Their nickna and public info were a string of asterisks, a privilege only site internal accounts had.
She then opened the short ssage—not just the title, but eager to see the contents inside.
And indeed, there was a clue!
Most people treat the title as the main content when sending site ssages—after all, it’s just a matter of a few words. Yet this short ssage ca with a contract!
Jiang Siqi rubbed her eyes, realizing she hadn’t misread.
The first line bore the contract na: "Superpower Rental Contract"
The contract listed the World Ability Center as Party A.
And her own na as Party B.
The contract wasn’t lengthy, only about a thousand words, she spent a few minutes reading it thoroughly.
After reading, she couldn’t help but laugh herself.
Was this another new way to prank soone?
In simple terms, this so-called World Ability Center as Party A would lease her one or two abilities. As everyone knows, the more abilities you have, the more chances you get, much like having various professional certifications when job hunting. So nevermind what abilities she could get, at least it’d be better than her lonely Fire Magic.
Party B doesn’t need to pay money, the rent was "continuously recording life and work content after joining the organization" and sending it to Party A, like a special perspective vlog.
If she couldn’t successfully join the organization or violated the rent terms, the abilities would be reclaid.
Other than that, there was no extra penalty.
The final section of the contract even had a blank option allowing her to choose to rent one or two abilities.
If only renting one, she needed to provide recorded videos.
Renting two indicated her willingness to work deeply with Party A, and if her work satisfied Party A, the rental contract would convert to a transfer contract.
Which ans the abilities would permanently belong to her.
"If only the world were this simple," Jiang Siqi shook her head in self-mockery, checking the box for two while typing "Si Tian" at the signature place. And then? This was just a docunt, even if signed, nothing would truly change.
If I don’t click reply, how do you plan to trick ?
As soon as that thought erged, a mutation followed.
The lines on the docunt started disappearing one by one, as if soone was holding the undo key for her. She hurriedly raised her hands, keeping them away from the keyboard, but the text continued vanishing quickly.
Then the entire contract was gone!
Followed by the site ssage also disappearing without a trace.
What’s going on here? Jiang Siqi stared at the screen in surprise, pondering whether she was dreaming when even the monitor suddenly went black.
An instant later, a video image occupied the entire desktop.
The environnt on the other side was dark, blurry, filtered with a cold bluish tone, giving off an indescribable eeriness. Besides a strange cara focusing on the center of the screen, there was nothing else.
In an instant, Jiang Siqi felt goosebumps rising all over her skin!
She leaped from the chair with a whiz, reaching to turn off the monitor, but before her hand could touch the button, the video was interrupted, leaving only a single line in the center: Contract has been activated.
Soon, the familiar desktop wallpaper returned to her view.
What was that all about just now?!
The contract has been activated? What a joke, isn’t the acquisition of abilities sothing granted by fate, how could they be simply given—
Jiang Siqi suddenly paused!
Because she realized she had indeed acquired two different abilities... and unlike her innate Fla Magic, she knew clearly how to use them!
What’s more incredible, they even had their own nas, naly "God Summoning Technique" and "Bone-Eroding Heart-Burning."
