38: A surge of talents emerges under the revival of spiritual energy

In Yuchuan City's suburban district, a special administrative center has been established, named the Extraordinary Bureau!

Just by its name, one knows this place is extraordinary.

Zhou Fan sat in his administrative chair, his expression serious—well, at least his face was serious under careful emotional management.

Zhou Fan, who knew that only by combining his own great power with the nation's great power could a bright path be forged for humanity,

chose to reveal the truth!

He said he was a regressor, but few believed him.

Then he said he could foresee the future, and they actually believed him.

It seems the leaders haven't read enough novels.

He was very relieved that they were doing serious work!

He was very helpless, as he couldn't bluff anymore!

Finally, after a tremendous effort, showcasing his abilities, knowledge, foresight, and unique skills!

He showcased a bit too much, and Zhou Fan became the director of the Extraordinary Bureau, its first director.

The predecessor of the Extraordinary Bureau was called 749, a name that was originally very impressive.

But it was ruined by a certain movie's promotion.

So it was renamed the Extraordinary Bureau.

The Extraordinary Era had arrived, and there was a touch of superstition; it was best to avoid any associations if possible.

Zhou Fan became the first director of the current Bureau!

He was also called Commander Zhou!

Commander Zhou's first act upon taking office was to establish the ultimate squad, named: the Star-Suppressing Squad!

He scouted seven capable individuals from all walks of life, men, women, old, and young, across the country!

At least, they were individuals Zhou Fan himself considered capable!

Zhou Fan looked at his future team with satisfaction, envisioning the seven individuals, who would grow under his leadership, holding the sun and moon and plucking stars!

Sweeping away all who defied them!

Suppressing all enemies!

“Cough, cough, cough! Don't say I didn't give you face!

Get a grip! You're practically drooling!” Su Wen kicked the guy's chair, jolting him back to reality.

Su Wen was very eager for information about the current world, so he rushed over.

And then, well, he waited for over three hours!

This guy insisted on gathering all seven people before speaking.

Now that the seven were finally here, he started acting foolish again.

Initially, Su Wen had suspected Zhou Fan was a regressor, but if he really was, couldn't he be a bit more serious?!

Snapping back to reality, Zhou Fan began his grand bluffing + sincere vision-casting.

“Everyone!

The world is facing an unprecedented crisis!

The seemingly extraordinary awakening is, at its deeper core, a prelude to world invasion!

The so-called spiritual energy resurgence is merely a means for the invaders to make this world more suitable for their foothold and more suitable for their enslavement!

I am a regressor!

If you don't believe me, then my talent is precognition!

Surely you must believe that!

You probably have some guesses as to why I've gathered you all here!

After all, you are all extraordinary individuals!”

Zhou Fan said with profound meaning.

“Ling Yi! A fitness enthusiast!

Talent: Vajra!

Impervious to all weapons, unmatched defense, immense strength!

In the future, with extraordinary sublimation and evolution, he will achieve Absolute Defense!

The Eternal Fortress!”

Zhou Fan introduced the muscular man on the far right, who was doing sit-ups and working out!

“Chen Xiao! An internet addict!

Talent: Data Information!

Player! NPC! Wild Monster! Equipment drops!

In the future, with extraordinary sublimation, he's said to be able to kill even gods as long as they have a health bar!”

Zhou Fan introduced the fifteen or sixteen-year-old child playing games, who was second from the right.

“Yu Mengmeng! A kindergarten teacher!

Talent: Peerless Hammer!

Can materialize an indestructible, gravity-manipulating hammer!

Big hammer eighty, small hammer forty!

One hammer determines life or death!

After extraordinary sublimation, one hammer sinks continents! Two hammers split stars!

A small body, immense power!”

Zhou Fan introduced the third person from the right, a cute, innocent-looking, easily fooled woman with a baby face and a voluptuous figure, while rubbing his forehead.

“Zhuo Xiaoxuan! A glamorous lawyer!

Talent: Veritable Edict!

Can pry the truth from liars' mouths and materialize legal statutes and edicts.

After extraordinary sublimation, her words become law! Law follows her words! She can establish laws and rules under heaven!

Awesome!”

Zhou Fan gave this lady a thumbs-up. Suing until she could establish laws—how impressive was that?

“Lu Zhenxing! A top-tier slacker gatekeeper with sixty years of experience!

Talent: Barrier!

If he says you can't enter, you can't enter!

Why don't you listen?!

If the gatekeeper nods, you can enter; if not, I'll call you sir!

After extraordinary sublimation, he becomes the Emperor's Guardian of the Nation's Gates!

Behind me!

Behind your grandpa, try to get in if you can!

Absolute barriers, restrictions, natural shields, protecting the nation's peace!”

Zhou Fan bowed to the eighty-year-old elder.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy resurgence came early, or the old man would have kicked the bucket soon.

“Wang Haoran, a top-tier shut-in!

Talent: Transformation!

Ultraman, Kabutack, Denji Sentai Megaranger, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!... The power of the secondary dimension, after all, leaked out!

And you, kid, picked it up!

After extraordinary sublimation, he even transformed into a three-headed Monkey King!

Unfortunately, he ultimately died in the secondary dimension!”

Zhou Fan clicked his tongue in praise, yet also with some regret.

These were all future pillars of the nation who hadn't fully grown or had briefly grown by burning their life force!

“The secondary dimension is immortal!” Wang Haoran argued, “Bureau Chief, your predictions aren't accurate!

What I love now is Balala the Fairies! Full transformation!”

Ew~

Su Wen moved aside with a look of disgust.

Transformation isn't scary, but a burly man transforming is scary!

Su Wen admitted that everyone present was talented!

Whether their words were pleasant to hear was another matter; they had barely kept up with a few versions, but currently, they hadn't synchronized with his own combat power version.

But it was indeed good enough.

“Bureau Chief, just introduce us; you don't need to mention if I'm glamorous or not!” Zhuo Xiaoxuan sounded a bit displeased.

“Wow! KO! Splash KO!”

At this moment, Chen Xiao was still playing a game.

“How could I be~ I'm very gentle, you know~”

Yu Mengmeng said blushingly and sweetly.

One moment she says she's gentle, the next she hammers a child!

“Hiss~ Ha!” The old man Lu Zhenxing, with goji berries steeped in his thermos, looked completely deaf to everything.

Ling Yi hadn't stopped doing sit-ups!

“Su Wen! The cliffhanger dog!

Talent: Spirit Domain!

Within the Spirit Domain, I am invincible; outside the Spirit Domain, I'm a goner!

After extraordinary sublimation, wherever the Spirit Domain covers, that place becomes a divine domain!

This is a low-spec version of a divine domain!”

Zhou Fan exaggerated, practically praising Su Wen to the heavens.

This was to establish Su Wen's persona, preventing certain people from abusing their authority and trying to stuff people into the Extraordinary Bureau.

“Whoa—oh~”

The six people chimed in.

“Basic operation! Nothing special! I'm invincible, you all do your best!”

Su Wen wasn't one to be modest; after all, he was supporting his brother, and showing a little strength was far beyond the current version.

After some banter, the first generation Star-Suppressing Squad team became familiar with each other.

Although they were all a bunch of problem children and old children.

No big deal, Zhou Fan thought.

He still had cheats!

More than one!

No big deal! Su Wen thought.

He hadn't even turned it off, so how could it be on?

No big deal! The others thought.

It's a big world stage, you can do it too!

In a world of mediocrity, fear no hardship!

...“You all seem very optimistic!

But what if I told you that in a month... no, in 28 days, the world will face the first act of the apocalypse? How would you respond?”

“...”

“!!!”
