54: New benefits, potential risks

"What are the benefits of K2?" Han Fei quickly asked.

"Your benefits have been upgraded as follows:"

"One: You can exchange for more items in the employee store."

"Two: Absorbing trash containing pollution sources can also slightly evolve your Superpower."

"Three: Monthly basic salary increased from 1500 treasure chest coins to 5000 treasure chest coins."

"Four: One free company medical examination per month."

The first three were upgrades to existing benefits, while the fourth was a new benefit.

"Medical examination? Is there anything special about the company's medical examination?"

"The company's medical examination can not only accurately detect various physiological indicators of your body, but more importantly, it can detect whether your body is affected by pollution sources, and to what extent."

Han Fei was immediately startled and eagerly pressed, "Affected by pollution sources? What does that mean?"

"Before your Cleaning Superpower evolves to a certain level, absorbing pollution sources will have a certain impact on your body."

"What specific impact?" Han Fei asked.

"Your current authority Rank is K2, so only partial information can be provided to you."

"Absorbing pollution sources may lead to a decrease in your magic Aptitude, and there are other effects. Due to authority restrictions, detailed explanations cannot be provided at this time."

"Absorbing pollution sources can even affect magic Aptitude?!"

Han Fei was shocked, his tone full of disbelief.

"Immediately conduct a medical examination for me!"

"Okay, please wait."

Soon, a fresh Qi, like a clear mountain spring, flowed down from Han Fei's head, instantly piercing through his entire body, reaching his soles.

Approximately 5 minutes later.

"Medical examination finished."

"Here are your medical examination results."

A screen appeared before his eyes.

First to catch his eye was a string of basic data:

"[Height: 183cm]"

"[Weight: 68kg]"

...While this information was important, it didn't draw much of Han Fei's attention.

His gaze quickly slid past, focusing directly on the more crucial section below.

"[Martial Cultivation Aptitude: C-]"

"[Remarks: Martial Cultivation Aptitude reflects an individual's Innate physical conditions and potential in martial arts and martial Dao Cultivation.]"

"[Martial Cultivation Comprehensive Score: 775]"

"[Remarks: Martial Cultivation Comprehensive Score covers multiple dimensions such as physical fitness, Comprehension Ability, combat intuition, and understanding of martial arts Secret Manuals. It is an important basis for evaluating a person's overall strength in martial Dao Cultivation.]"

"[Immortal Cultivation Aptitude: F+]"

"[Remarks: Immortal Cultivation Aptitude assesses whether an individual possesses the Innate conditions to embark on the path of cultivation and immortality, which is crucial for adapting to and mastering the mysterious immortal journey.]"

"[Immortal Cultivation Comprehensive Score: 89]"

"[Remarks: Immortal Cultivation Comprehensive Score involves numerous factors such as bone structure, Spiritual Root, immortal fate, Comprehension Ability, state of mind, and Lifespan. It is closely related to key cultivation nodes such as quickly comprehending Spells, efficiently absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, successfully forming a Golden Core and nascent soul, and ultimately achieving Ascension.]"

"[Magic Aptitude: S]"

"[Remarks: Magic Aptitude assesses an individual's affinity for magic, as well as their Innate physical conditions and potential in cultivation.]"

...Looking at these data, Han Fei couldn't help but click his tongue, "It's actually so detailed."

One must know that even the most advanced Aptitude testing equipment in Dragon Kingdom today could only vaguely determine a person's approximate Aptitude level.

For example, a person with A-Rank Aptitude could currently only be detected to have an Aptitude between B+ and A+, unable to be as precisely detected as the company's method.

As for the comprehensive score, no similar testing method had ever appeared anywhere in the world.

His gaze continued downwards, and a piece of information caught his eye.

"[Magic Comprehensive Score: 23,578,233]"

"My magic comprehensive score... is actually as high as over twenty million?!"

Han Fei was dumbfounded, his heart surging with disbelief as he stared at the shocking numbers before him. "How can it be so high?!"

He couldn't help but double-check, and only after confirming he hadn't misread did he cast a questioning gaze at the remarks below.

"[Remarks: Magic Comprehensive Score encompasses an individual's ability to master and cast magic, including elemental affinity, magical perception, understanding of magic theory, Spell memorization and innovation, and magic array drawing. It relates to a magician's growth rate, magic power, and level of specialization in various magical Domains.]"

Looking at the remarks, Han Fei guessed that such an astonishingly high score might be related to the Forbidden Magic he possessed.

Forbidden Magic was, after all, the top-tier magic in this world, second only to divine magic. Coupled with his S-Rank magic Aptitude, a magic score of over ten million seemed reasonable.

Before his thoughts settled, Han Fei's gaze moved downwards again, finally catching the information he was eager to understand.

"pollution source content: 3112"

"pollution source influence value: 23"

"If the pollution source influence value exceeds 500, your body will experience various discomforts such as nausea, headache, and dizziness."

"If the pollution source influence value exceeds 800, your body will..."

...Line after line of text came into view, like sharp carving knives, deeply piercing Han Fei's heartstrings.

Suddenly, a piece of information caught Han Fei's high attention.

"Magic Aptitude can resist the influence of pollution sources to a certain extent, but this will lead to a continuous decrease in magic Aptitude."

Han Fei chewed on this information, his brows tightly furrowed.

Magic Aptitude would actually become a sacrifice to resist the erosion of pollution sources?!

Such a price was difficult for even him to accept.

"Unless I can find a stable source of magic cake."

magic cake can greatly enhance a person's magic Aptitude, and some research reports even claim that magic cake can repair damaged magic Aptitude to a certain extent.

Therefore, as long as he found a stable source of magic cake, Han Fei could ignore the influence of pollution sources.

While contemplating, his gaze continued downwards until he saw the last piece of information.

"After your Rank is promoted to K3, you can pay contribution points to have the company remove the pollution sources from your body."

"I have to reach K3 to eliminate the hidden danger," Han Fei frowned deeply.

The promotion condition for K3 was to achieve a performance of ten million, and also to deal with at least ten pollution sources.

Even if Han Fei used up all the remaining treasure chest upgrade Cheats, he wouldn't be able to achieve ten million in performance.

As for the pollution sources, they were also very difficult to find.

Han Fei used the Cheat to open the black iron environmental protection treasure chest more than twenty times, but he didn't get a single pollution source, which shows that its drop rate is very low.

"It seems I can only turn to the military," Han Fei murmured.

The vast territory of Dragon Kingdom must hide many pollution sources waiting to be cleaned up.

With the military's nationwide intelligence network, they would certainly be able to provide him with clues.

Adjusting his mindset, Han Fei opened the company store to see what new items were available.

In addition to the 4 items that could be exchanged before, the store had added 3 new things this time.

"Cleaning environmental protection bronze treasure chest: 1 million performance."

"Elementary Cleaning Superpower Cultivation Art: 500,000 performance."

"Trash Retrieval E-Rank Ability: 100,000 performance/hour."

Han Fei's attention was immediately drawn to the 'Elementary Cleaning Superpower Cultivation Art'.

With strong curiosity and anticipation, Han Fei unhesitatingly clicked to inquire, eager to find out more.

"After exchanging for the Elementary Cleaning Superpower Cultivation Art, you will master a systematic Cultivation method for the Cleaning Superpower. Following this method will allow your Superpower to continuously improve, and after reaching a certain level, you may Awaken new Cleaning Abilities."

"500,000 performance is a bit expensive..."

A hint of struggle appeared in Han Fei's eyebrows.

This was no small sum; he needed to consider it carefully.

After a moment of contemplation, Han Fei still bought it.

The moment the exchange was complete, a vast amount of knowledge about the Elementary Cleaning Superpower Cultivation Art flooded into Han Fei's mind like a tide.

Those complex Cultivation methods, profound theoretical analyses, and specific practical essentials flickered in his mind like stars, waiting for him to explore and comprehend.

However, in this ocean of knowledge, one piece of information was particularly glaring, like a huge rock pressing on his heart.

"Cultivating this art requires D-Rank Superpower Aptitude."

"Cultivating this actually requires D-Rank Superpower Aptitude..."

Han Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, helplessly calling up his medical report.

"[Superpower Aptitude: E+]"

"[Remarks: Superpower Aptitude assesses an individual's control and adaptability to Superpowers.]"

"[Superpower Comprehensive Score: 688]"

"[Remarks: Superpower Comprehensive Score involves an individual's current Superpower state, Superpower type and intensity, Awakening potential, learning and adaptability, energy regulation and tolerance, growth potential, and evolutionary possibilities.]"

"My Superpower Aptitude is a bit low," Han Fei sighed softly.

E+ Rank Superpower Aptitude, while barely enough to Cultivate the Elementary Cleaning Superpower Cultivation Art, would definitely be a case of getting half the results with twice the effort, consuming a lot of time and energy.

Moreover, even if he cultivated to a certain level, he might not necessarily Awaken new Cleaning Abilities, unless his Aptitude was raised to D-Rank.

Fortunately, the difference between E+ and D-Rank was not far, and many methods could improve it.

Han Fei directly took out his phone and sent a message to Xiao Shuai.

"Please change the reward for this mission for me. I need something that can quickly improve Superpower Aptitude, with as few side effects as possible."

In an instant, the screen flickered.

Xiao Shuai replied with a message: "Okay, Mr. Han, I will prepare it for you after reporting to my superior."

The next moment, He Hong's phone vibrated.

He took out his phone, his gaze sweeping over the faintly glowing screen, and his expression immediately changed.

It was a message from Xiao Shuai.

At this moment, He Hong was sitting opposite an elder dressed in black.

The two were in a study filled with a strong antique atmosphere.

The elder in black noticed He Hong's abnormality, and a hint of concern flashed in his deep eyes as a calm voice sounded.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

He Hong pondered for a moment and said directly, "That temporary cleaner from the Third Army actually wants something that can quickly improve Superpower Aptitude."

As He Hong spoke, his tone was a mix of confusion and surprise.

He had guessed that Han Fei would change the mission reward.

But what he hadn't expected was that Han Fei wasn't changing it for something that could improve magic Aptitude, but for Superpower Aptitude.

"Superpower Aptitude? Did those mutated Garbage Monsters affect his Superpower Aptitude?"

The elder frowned slightly, a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

He Hong understood, lowered his voice, and suggested, "Do you need me to investigate?"

The elder didn't answer but turned his gaze to the parrot in the exquisite birdcage nearby, as if seeking some mysterious guidance.

The study fell silent for a moment, only the occasional crackle of the fire in the fireplace breaking the tranquility.

A few seconds later, the parrot shook its head slightly, as if conveying some obscure hint.

The elder's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly spoke, "Not for now. This is not an important matter."

He Hong nodded gently in response, "Okay."

He knew that the elder's judgment was always accurate, and since he believed that this matter did not require immediate action, there must be a deeper meaning.

After the elder fed the parrot some golden fruit, his expression suddenly became serious.

"The top priority now is to find out who leaked the prophecy's secret in the shortest possible time!"

The authority contained in the elder's words made the air heavy.

"The higher-ups only gave us half a month. If we fail to find out the truth by then, we will all face a military court!"

He Hong took a deep breath, nodded slightly, his tone low and solemn, "Which bastard leaked the secret?"

Not long ago, the Great Prophecy Granny's secret about the child of prophecy was leaked.

Originally, this secret was only known to people of Ye Zhanying's Rank.

Now, it had spread like a virus, quickly reaching the ears of ordinary people and becoming a hot topic of discussion in every street and alley.

For Dragon Kingdom, this was undoubtedly a catastrophic leak, its seriousness beyond imagination!

One must know that the child of prophecy was a key figure concerning the survival of Dragon Kingdom.

Its existence should have been hidden in layers of mist to avoid attracting the covetousness and schemes of hostile forces.

However, at this moment, the exposure of the secret gave many hostile forces a clear target.

They could easily exploit this to orchestrate a series of assassination plots, cutting off Dragon Kingdom's future.

Or they could kidnap it, negotiate terms with Dragon Kingdom, and gain huge benefits.

Even more, they could fabricate a false child of prophecy to confuse public opinion and subvert Dragon Kingdom's Foundation.

This was not unfounded worry, as unknown forces had already done so.

Within just a few days, in addition to the known Han Fei, Dragon Kingdom had discovered two more "children of prophecy" who perfectly matched the prophetic characteristics!

Everyone understood that there must be an unspeakable trick hidden behind this, very likely a deliberate arrangement by hostile forces.

But the top brass of Dragon Kingdom dared not gamble.

Even if there was a slight possibility, they could not take any potential "child of prophecy" lightly.

After all, if it turned out to be the true child of prophecy and was assassinated by hostile forces due to neglect, Dragon Kingdom would surely fall into an abyss of eternal damnation in the future.

Therefore, for every "child of prophecy" that surfaced and matched the prophecy's description, Dragon Kingdom had no choice but to spare no effort to provide strict protection.

However, this was not easy.

According to the prophecy, Dragon Kingdom could neither restrict the child of prophecy's freedom nor infringe upon its privacy.

This undoubtedly brought unprecedented challenges to the protection work.

Dragon Kingdom had to ensure their safety while carefully respecting and upholding their rights, which was like dancing on a knife's edge; a slight misstep could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Facing such a predicament, Dragon Kingdom naturally hated the person who leaked the prophecy's secret to the extreme.

This person's actions were tantamount to personally opening Pandora's box, pushing Dragon Kingdom to the brink of instability.

At this moment, everyone in Dragon Kingdom eagerly wished to uncover the truth and severely punish the leaker!

At the same time, they strove to stabilize the situation and protect the child of prophecy, hoping to achieve ultimate victory in this game concerning the nation's destiny!
