Qi Yuan scrolled through a series of meaningless forum posts, and his gaze eventually landed on the title of a certain post.
[Current Ranking of S-level Superhumans' Combat Power, Purely Personal Opinion, Welcome Rational Discussion (Posting a beautiful photo of my wife Bai Li to bless the thread)]
[The OP is delusional, Bai Li is my wife!!!]
[Don't you guys have your own wives? Bai Li clung tightly to me in fright]
Qi Yuan selected "Show OP's posts only", and the posts by the original poster popped up.
[T0 level: Qi Yuan (The only one, you can check my previous posts still praising Qi Yunzheng. It wasn't until the Sakura Island Incident that I realized what true overwhelming power was. There shouldn't be any controversy about this, right...?)]
[Superpower: Illusion]
[Combat Power: ★★★★★★ (Five stars is the max, I give him six stars)]
[Battle Record: No defeats so far (Nothing more to say, the sole protagonist of the Sakura Island Incident, anyone who disagrees should go see a neurologist and ophthalmologist)]
[Nickname: Golden Eyes (Derived from the color change of his eyes when using his superpower) ps: I have a question, his eye colors seem to be inconsistent, see photos below]
[Killing Spider Monster Screenshot.JPG]
[Killing Lizard Man Screenshot.JPG]
[...]
The original poster was an experienced tomb raider, digging up all kinds of video footage from Luoyang with impressive skill. Even information about Qi Yuan's eyes changing color due to being flashed by a flashlight at the Nanwu District orphanage was unearthed.
This question sparked a lot of replies.
[Placed side by side, the colors are indeed different, but lighting could also be a factor.]
[Not only you, I also have a question - why don't his eyes change color sometimes when using his superpower?]
[Replying to the above, two guesses. One, his eyes have a special function, but this doesn't explain the color inconsistency, so I'm more inclined to the other possibility; two, the eye color represents the degree to which his superpower is activated, which could explain the different colors.]
The last reply caught the original poster's attention, and they commented below.
[I think the second guess is very likely]
Qi Yuan himself not only didn't clarify, but even screenshotted and saved the whole thread, waiting for them to embarrassingly backtrack in the future.
Only the name and the underestimated guess were accurate here.
[T1 level (order unimportant): Qi Yunzheng, Jeanna, Red Hair Man (real name unknown, any info from brothers?), Johnson...]
[T2: Bai Li (my wife)...]
Things were not so harmonious between T1 and T2, with supporters clashing fiercely below.
Some argued that certain individuals were unworthy of being ranked with others, while others claimed their idols or favorites were stronger than the rest, even suggesting adding a T0.5 or T1.5 level.
There were also those who said Red Hair Man had no battle record and should be undetermined.
[Don't the veterans have the right to make the ranking? I nominate Wei Zhiming, former team leader of the Nine Seats, as T1 level]
[Then I nominate...]
Qi Yuan was getting into it when there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock--"
He got up to open the door.
Outside stood Gao Changze, Ji Jia and Yin Qingran, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, carrying various items.
Gao Changze was holding a laptop in his arms.
"Yuan-ge, got a minute? Let me update you on the recent developments of the Reincarnation Squad."
The squad?
That crappy squad was still around?
Qi Yuan had long dismissed the squad from his mind. Whenever he went on a mission for the country, he came back loaded with wealth.
Who cared about that crappy squad anymore?
"Come on in."
He opened the door to let the three in.
After all, it was a squad registered under his name. Since he had nothing else to do at the moment, he might as well listen to them.
The three had come prepared, even bringing tea and snacks, looking as if they were settling in for a long meeting.
Qi Yuan cautiously said, "Cut to the chase, feel free to present."
He did have plenty of time to listen to their detailed plans, but there was no need.
The squad was originally established to help him better complete missions for the Association, but with the addition of the Dark Nine Seats, it had lost its purpose.
If not for Yin Qingran and the others' distrust of the official Patrol Team, needing to use his name to conceal their identities, Qi Yuan would have disbanded the squad long ago.
"Got it, Yuan-ge. I promise to only take a few minutes of your time."
Gao Changze swore solemnly.
The three quickly set up the tea, snacks and documents, and opened the laptop in front of him.
Led by Gao Changze, with comments from the other two, they briefly described the situation.
"...So in order to better investigate the masterminds behind the human experimentation on Yin Qingran and the others, you opened a Superpower Affairs Office, right?"
Qi Yuan leaned back comfortably in his chair, summarizing what they had reported.
Ji Jia and Gao Changze nodded vigorously, then stood up from the table.
They turned to him in unison, speaking simultaneously, "How did you know about Qingran-jie's situation? Did she tell you?"
"She didn't tell me."
Yin Qingran was also a bit surprised that Qi Yuan knew the details, but quickly figured out the reason.
"It wasn't the Dragon Country officials investigating, but the Qi family, right?"
Her fingers tapped on the table, her expression full of certainty.
Qi Yuan didn't know where to start criticizing - to a certain extent, she wasn't exactly wrong...
After all, he was a member of the Qi family.
But unlike the outsiders wildly speculating, this was his own doing.
He didn't even have the right to criticize.
"How I know is not important."
The issue could easily spiral out of control if elaborated, so Qi Yuan brushed it off with one sentence: "Unless you're a level ten european grandmaster, how is it any different from grasping at straws?"
While the Superpower Affairs Office could indeed come into contact with obscure matters, not everyone had Conan's knack for investigation.
In most cases, it was either handling trivial tasks or wealthy ordinary people being paranoid about someone trying to sabotage them.
Even for these trivial jobs, many would compete for them, and they could also contact the Superpower Association to take on commissions.
It was no simple feat for the Superpower Affairs Office to gain recognition.
"I know."
Yin Qingran took a sip of tea, gripping the cup tightly.
"From the perspective of an experiment subject, given the distrust of the Patrol Team and the unwillingness to completely fall into darkness, neutral and capable individuals are more likely to be sought for help."
Qi Yuan contemplated for a moment and understood her meaning.
There were too many people in the Patrol Team, a mixed bag of good and bad, making it easy for information to leak.
From an extreme point of view, those capable of establishing a base for human experimentation were not completely unaffiliated with the Patrol Team.
Therefore, those who had been harmed would not seek help from the Patrol Team.
Obtaining information from those operating in the darkness was also too dangerous - no matter how desperate Yin Qingran was, she wouldn't risk Gao Changze and Ji Jia's lives.
The Superpower Affairs Office, however, was different.
They took money to help people out of trouble, without prying too much into the employer's secrets.
For those who wanted to conceal their identities while seeking assistance, this was a good choice.
Although it was a gamble, it was their most suitable option.
"Then I have no objections."
Since the other party had given it thorough consideration, he had no reason to stop them.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.
