The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 90 - 6: Intelligence of the Extraordinary System

"Of course not, Miss Bai is joking.

But the level of secrecy for this matter is indeed very high and even here, I cannot divulge anything. It will be communicated in detail only after Miss Bai’s arrival.

However, I can provide some superficial information in advance to help you comprehend faster upon arrival."

Agent Zhu felt a chill running down his spine as if targeted by some dangerous entity.

Strange, he had already become a Transcendent, and even a Fourth-Tier one at that!

There were only a few in the entire Zhuchen!

The feeling from that moment just now was as terrifying as the last time he met the Dean of Zhuchen Court, who was a Sixth-Tier Transcendent!

In the world today, they are indeed exceedingly rare!

However, the sharp pain he felt in his heart was fleeting and vanished in an instant. If not for his sweat-dampened clothes, it would have seemed like an illusion.

Turning his gaze to Bai Yi opposite him, he noticed that the lady seemed to have no abnormalities, only the orange cat sitting on her chest appeared somewhat restless.

This was a quite normal situation. The intimidation from high-level Transcendents often goes unnoticed by ordinary people, whereas more sensitive animals might sense something amiss.

Could it be that the train’s motion disturbed a wild animal lucky enough to have obtained a Divine Fragment?

Such an entity was beyond his purview.

Agent Zhu made a mental note of this information, intending to report it when he returned. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Collecting his thoughts, Agent Zhu didn’t start with an introduction but rather posed a question.

"Miss Bai, have you ever heard of Transcendents?"

Bai Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking as expected, and pretending to recall, she searched through her memories and replied:

"I’ve heard about them in some storybooks and rumors.

For instance, Devils that can throw flames, strange people that heal rapidly..."

Agent Zhu was not surprised by this. Recently, the conflicts between Zhuchen and the other six nations had become more frequent, and Transcendents were no longer a rarity on the battlefield.

Although in most cases, they were only Third-Tier Transcendents, their methods were already magical enough for ordinary people.

It was normal for a few wounded and retired veterans to inadvertently reveal such information.

"Heh, I can confirm that they truly exist and are not mere rumors.

I have a rough understanding of the two types of Transcendents you mentioned: the former is likely a Bloodline Wizard or a Mage,

while the latter is a Butcher."

Bai Yi had thought Agent Zhu would continue being enigmatic, waiting for her to inquire further, but it seemed he had no intention of stopping, continuing to explain:

"These names are all different types and levels of Transcendent professions.

Bloodline Wizards are Second-Tier Transcendents, while Mages ascend from Bloodline Wizards to become Third-Tier Transcendents, capable of triggering a variety of supernatural phenomena and harnessing wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. This Transcendent profession is controlled by the Mulan Republic.

Butchers, also Third-Tier Transcendents, are held by the Emilia Federation and possess life far beyond ordinary people, nearly impossible to kill completely.

As for those of a higher tier, I am not aware."

"Wow, really? That’s amazing!"

Bai Yi feigned surprise and praised.

"So Agent Zhu is also a Transcendent? Do you have magical abilities as well?"

Agent Zhu’s smile grew wider as he bent over to pull out a small knife, about thirty centimeters long, from the inside of his boot.

"Of course, my Transcendent profession is called craftsman, which is a Transcendent profession possessed by our Zhuchen.

Although nominally I should not tell you directly, considering that it won’t be long before you come to understand this knowledge, it doesn’t hurt to mention it in advance.

Our Zhuchen’s Transcendent profession starts with the name ’academic master,’ which grants extraordinary memory, learning, and comprehension abilities.

Heh, I personally prefer to call it ’student.’

The subsequent names are Mage Apprentice and repairman, the former granting me some minor spells, while the latter has endowed me with a strong physique and some special techniques."

As Agent Zhu introduced his profession, the small knife in his hand ignited with flames, leaving a deep cut as it slid across the small table.

And with another swipe over the scuffs, they vanished as if by magic.

"Amazing! Can I do that in the future?!"

The surprise shown on Bai Yi’s face was genuine. His demeanor and demonstration had already substantially completed the information on the panel.

This Agent Zhu’s actual level was only 34, lower than Bai Yi had imagined.

Moreover, unlike her superpower system, Agent Zhu’s attributes were not that high.

Even at the third tier, his attributes were only about the same as hers, and her highest Spirit Attribute was even a whole lot higher than his.

His abilities were represented on the panel as a series of talents and a profession!

The train was very fast, and Bai Yi continued to learn a lot about transcendents from Agent Zhu.

The Extraordinary System of this world was very young; it had only developed for a mere ten years, just as the world introduction seen upon arrival in this world stated.

Moreover, the Extraordinary System was incredibly abnormal, requiring ritualistic prayer to obtain transcendence.

Before the third level, no external aids were necessary; one could advance as long as they had thoroughly mastered their ability.

Even without a complete grasp of one’s ability and advancing directly, at worst, it would cause some minor Spirit issues.

This level of transcendents was quite common in this world; according to Bai Yi’s level classification, a third-level transcendent was roughly equivalent to a standard second-tier.

But their abilities were more unique, more unreasonable.

Take, for example, Agent Zhu’s demonstrated ability to repair a table; it had a kind of idealistic flavor to it.

Transcendents above the fourth tier began to dwindle in number. At this step, advancing would require either a relic or a corresponding Divine Fragment.

The former came from deceased Transcendents, while the latter from colossi (spaceships) that fell from the sky.

Moreover, the advancer had to match the relic or Divine Fragment well enough; otherwise, even if they forcefully advanced, they would gradually lose their sanity and become like wild beasts.

Even a normal advancement would leave behind various mental impacts, big or small.

Up to now, the entire Zhuchen had no more than a dozen transcends above the fourth level, and the strongest among them was merely a sixth-tier Transcendent.

After such implications, Bai Yi understood why she was regarded with such importance.

Her role as a "Qualifier" probably meant she was capable of matching high-level Divine Fragments.

And the level of attention she received...

Bai Yi suddenly became excited about this instance.

.......

The steam train of this era was not fast, and even though they traveled lightly and swiftly, the distance to the Capital was not too far; the journey took up until 11 pm.

Upon stepping out of the train and seeing the surroundings clearly, Bai Yi was indeed surprised.

It was a glamorous cluster of Chinese-style buildings, just like the Imperial Palace Bai Yi had seen in TV dramas, but with some modernized innovations.

For example, the stone bricks on the ground were set with cement, the rice paper in the carved doors was replaced with frosted colored glass, and the lighting inside the corridors had been switched to gas lamps fueled by pipes.

With Agent Zhu leading the way, Bai Yi passed through several checks and arrived at her resting place for the night.

Although the style was somewhat old, the room had all kinds of furniture, and Bai Yi even saw a small kitchen and dishes still wafting with fragrance on the dining table.

On the walls, Bai Yi noticed no pipes supplying fuel for the gas lamps, but instead wires of the same color as the walls, connecting to light bulbs on the ceiling.

After leaving a message to find her again at noon tomorrow, Agent Zhu turned and left.

The room was left with only Bai Yi and the orange cat in silence.

Bai Yi swept the room with her Telekinesis, ensuring no eavesdropping devices nearby, and then she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"There’s no surveillance around."

The advantage of this era in this world was just that, no need to worry about incessant bugs and monitoring devices.

However, to be safe, the orange cat still covered the area with a newly-learned space barrier, isolating itself and Bai Yi from the outside world.

"Ju, what do you think of what Agent Zhu said today?"

Mage Apprentice: During the student phase, one’s extraordinary abilities are enhanced, allowing them to recognize and understand the target’s extraordinary abilities, and master various spells with relatively low power...
