Chapter 20: You’re Just an Awakened Individual. What the Hell Do Know About Talent?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Student Lin’s ability is probably not sunlight absorption. This is just a side effect. His ability is energy absorption. He can absorb all unowned energy, and the speed of absorption is very fast. The light energy spar given by Chief Shi has quite a substantial amount of energy… Well, it is uncertain whether he could absorb owned energy in the future. If he can do that, he will be the nemesis of every psionicist. Given this talent, he will be potentially rated at least gold.

“In addition, after he absorbs the energy, he could seemingly attach the energy’s attribute to his body. Because he has never been in contact with other attribute energy spars previously, he can only absorb sunlight for now. Therefore, his body only demonstrates the characteristics of the light system. As he absorbs more energy in the future, his abilities will also have multiple attributes. If this is true, he not only can absorb all kinds of energy but also use the energy’s abilities. As a psionicist nemesis and an almighty great spiritualist, he is potentially at least at the diamond level.”

“What?!!”

After listening to their analysis, Lin Yao was totally confused.

‘Don’t talk nonsense. My ability is not that strong. I’m just a gardener who can plant trees,’ he thought.

However, he cautiously expressed his opinion.

“Diamond potential? I don’t think my ability is that powerful, is it?”

“Crap! You’re just an awakened individual. What the hell do you know about talent? Although this is your awakened ability, martial artists like you only know how to use it but don’t understand its principles at all. I’m a grandmaster who studies talent all year round. Could I be less knowledgeable than you?”

His are-you-teaching-me-what’s-right expression made Lin Yao’s words stop in his throat.

“Uh… You are right.”

He was too dominant, and Lin Yao was speechless.

Besides, there were indeed many reckless and ignorant men who only knew how to use their awakened abilities but did not understand their principles. Some of these people would also consult this grandmaster about developing their abilities.

Unfortunately, Lin Yao’s situation was different. He had a system, and it clearly displayed the characteristics of his abilities.

However, he could not expose this trump card. Simultaneously, when he thought about the benefits of the diamond level and the country’s subsidies, Lin Yao could not refuse at all. These benefits were too tempting.

Therefore, he shamelessly kept silent and watched those people continue talking.

Of course, problems would easily arise if he did not have the matching virtues, but Lin Yao did not have to worry about this. If he only had the Tree of Light, he might feel nervous or panicky about being labeled as a potential diamond-level individual. However, the diamond level aside, Lin Yao had more abilities now. As long as he could plant the trees well, he would not even care about king-level talent.

“Pardon me for accepting these resources then. However, the country will certainly gain more from grooming me than from diamond powerhouses. I will always contribute to the country and mankind.”

His character and the energy sources of his system ensured that Lin Yao would always do good deeds. Therefore, he did not feel troubled about receiving resources from the country.

While Lin Yao convinced himself, the powerhouses also cemented their evaluation of Lin Yao’s ability based on some tests.

“Your ability will be temporarily named energy absorption. Its characteristic is to absorb unowned energy, and your body can demonstrate the characteristics of that energy.

“Because you can only absorb unowned energy at the moment and make your body demonstrate light abilities, your ability is rated silver. However, it is potentially diamond.

“In the future, try to absorb owned energy or let your body gain more attributes for your development. As long as your body gains one more attribute or can absorb owned energy, your ability will be rated gold.”

“Thank you for your reminder. I understand.”

As he responded, Lin Yao also understood what these powerhouses meant. They wanted to help him become a psionicist nemesis and an almighty great spiritualist.

Being able to absorb owned energy meant that he would be able to absorb the flames and frost unleashed by other genius martial artists. This was what a psionicist nemesis did.

His body could demonstrate multiple abilities. This meant he would be able to release the abilities according to the situation on the spot. He would be very well-rounded and thus considered an almighty great spiritualist.

Both of these talents were gold-level talents, and their combination was at the diamond level.

If Lin Yao’s ability was truly energy absorption, these powerhouses’ suggestions would be very useful.

Unfortunately, this was not the case.

Nevertheless, he was also very happy because this had paved the way for him to demonstrate the abilities of other tree species in the future.

‘Speaking of this, can I plant other trees then? Planting trees in the Sea of Consciousness is done by integrating the genes and essence of external trees with a cartoon-like sapling, but I don’t have a cartoon-like sapling in my mind anymore.’

This problem could not be solved by imagination alone. Therefore, Lin Yao did not dwell on it. He was most concerned about whether he would get better treatment after the evaluation.

Too embarrassed to inquire about it, Lin Yao gave the powerhouses a longing stare.

Upon seeing Lin Yao’s expectant eyes, the powerhouses laughed.

“Don’t worry. We won’t short-change you on the treatment.”

Afterward, the state supervisor spoke.

“Your energy absorption ability is now rated silver. Although this is slightly stronger than light energy, the benefits of light energy are already a notch better than others. Therefore, this benefit remains unchanged.” Lin Yao looked disappointed upon hearing these words. The supervisor then added, “However, a person with diamond potential will be groomed by the state. As a key genius, the country will provide you with a monthly financial reward of 10,000 yuan, 10 bottles of energy nutrient drinks, a diamond technique, as well as a golden combat skill. At the same time, you’re entitled to a one-time request to utilize gold resources. However, I suggest you become a martial artist before making your choice. Prior to becoming a martial artist, military boxing is the best technique to build your foundation.”

Then, he also explained why they were giving him 10 bottles of nutrient drinks but only 10,000 yuan.

“What you have now is potential. Therefore, the country will give you nutrient drinks so you can focus on cultivation, but not too much money.”

After the state supervisor spoke, the people from the city immediately said, “The subsidy provided by the city is 20,000 yuan and 20 bottles of energy nutrition drinks. This is enough for you to cultivate for one month. At the same time, the city will grant you a one-time request for gold resources. In terms of techniques, we will do our best to find the best teacher for you.

“This is the standard resource allocation. You can also state any other request that you have.”

Ultimately, Lin Yao only had diamond potential, and the allocated resources were below 10,000 yuan.

If his ability had been graded diamond instead of his potential, he would have received a one-million-yuan resource allocation.

He had no choice. The diamond-level potential was already considered one of the top-notch ones. There was only one such awakened person in a million in the civilian population. 80% of the awakened people possessed ordinary abilities, and the remaining 20% ??had standard abilities. Those who had been graded gold were already groomed as key geniuses by the city. As for diamond geniuses, they were very scarce in Ninghai City, which had a population of hundreds of millions (due to the catastrophic era and population concentration). The city had to make a great effort in order to retain geniuses.

As for a king-level super-genius, this was someone who might not even appear in the province for an entire year. Plus, every time such a super-genius was discovered, the city could not touch them. Only the province could retain them, and they most likely would be groomed by the state.

However, having diamond potential was already enough for Lin Yao. He had already received exceptional treatment for this.

He would get money, nutrition drinks, techniques, and teachers. Furthermore, the country and local government would provide him with a one-time service.

As Lin Yao had said before, this was why the gap between geniuses and mortals would become increasingly wider. Resources would go to the geniuses as long as they conducted themselves properly.

Of course, the more Lin Yao received, the heavier his responsibilities would be. When he graduated from college and matured into a martial artist, he would have to be at the forefront to fight the beasts and any danger.

Lin Yao was aware of his obligations. “I want to thank the organization for helping me develop. As long as it is within my means, I will definitely do my best to protect the people and expel all the beasts. I will not leave any beasts alive!”

Lin Yao said this resolutely, and even the strict-looking colonel admired him for that.

“I can sense your strong determination. Are you interested in joining the army?”
