“Transcendents!?”

Tang Hong’s heart jumped, curiosity surged.

The only Transcendent who he knew was Fang Nanxun. As for the signing of the contract at that time, the two Transcendents who had interviewed him had completely ignored him.

Through chatting with Fan Yu, Tang Hong learned that these three were consultant-level figures. They were in charge of holding the fort at Yunhai City.

Tang Hong asked, “This teahouse that you speak of, do consultant-level Transcendents patronize them in usual times?”

“How is that possible!”

Fan Yu was speechless for a time. Every consultant was an absolute Transcendent, there weren’t many consultants in this big Yunhai City either.

Fang Nanxun…

He was really that powerful…

Regarding this, Tang Hong always held doubts. After all, in the imagination of the majority, the powerhouse ought to be more proud and aloof.

Meanwhile, his impressions of Fang Nanxun were:

Wealthy.

Especially good at scaring people.

He himself had been bluffed by Fang Nanxun into entering the Yellow River Organization.

“Alright, see you at the teahouse.” Tang Hong searched the map on his cellphone. He could reach directly by taking the public bus, it was really convenient.

“Call me when you’ve arrived.”

Fan Yu sent her private number.

“Mm.”

Tang Hong bore the route of the public bus in mind and inwardly summoned the system interface.

Mortal: Extremely small and weak creature.

Willpower: 50%

Strength: 35%

Realm: 0.00

Individual value: 14

Till date, he had already stored up 14 points of individual value.

Unfortunately, that loneliness record had basically become useless… These days, he had been to coffee shops of all styles, including those with distinctive servers wearing maidservant uniforms and cat ears with tails hanging behind them. They were unable to trigger individual value.

Whether it was the campus cafeteria or the little restaurants on the Fallen Street outside campus, all were of no use.

He had also attempted going to restaurants and watching movies more than three times.

That monster film imported from abroad with amazing special effects was indeed really thrilling. Of course, to Tang Hong, watching the movie was secondary, that was considered the pastry before his meal. The one point of individual value from his first experience of watching a movie alone was the main course.

‘Difficulty level: The main indicators.”

‘Time and mood, these two can only play the role of lowering the difficulty.’

Tang Hong was working hard to search, he wished to find a long-term gain similar to the first prompt every morning, and not a first-time incident whereby once will be enough.

Shaking…

Staggering…

The public bus finally reached the stop.

‘Beep!’

‘Student card!’

Tang Hong alighted. Following the route on the map, he went past two small alleys and turned left at the third junction. He then saw an ordinary teahouse hidden in the middle of a heap of apparel stores.

The shop front was not close to the streets.

It looked a little small, but not shabby. There were even two stone piers placed on the two sides of the entrance.

“I’m here.”

Tang Hong dialed Fan Yu’s cell phone number.

It was very quiet on that side, she was probably inside the teahouse. Fan Yu said in a low voice, “Hold on, I’ll come out to pick you up.”

The next moment.

He had just hung up the call.

Tang Hong sensed a warning sign that made him extremely uneasy. Although it was a sunny day, although the air was stuffy, his back simply felt cold. All the hairs on his slightly muscular arms stood on end, like he had entered an ice cave on a hot day.

Instinctively side-stepping, Tang Hong turned back for a look.

It was actually a short youth whose height seemed to be less than 1.6meters. He stared at Tang Hong, those eyes seemingly sparkling as he let out a low chuckle.

“You are Tang Hong?”

“That lucky fellow who broke away from the sacred voices of the gods on his own and earned Consultant Fang’s appreciation.”

Tang Hong was startled, he immediately realized that this was a Transcendent. A through and through Transcendent, otherwise, it was impossible that just a casual gaze from him would cause one to feel frightened.

Although he was of small stature…

This sense of suppression was unusually massive, like a bloodthirsty, ferocious tiger stood before him, full of a bloody scent.

His peripherals caught the pedestrians by the roadside, Tang Hong’s mind calmed as he glanced at this youth.

Dressed entirely in black training clothes, his arms hung stably by his side. Both his left and right wrists were bound in dark coloreds strips of cloth.

His face was a little clouded, emitting an unapproachable, malicious air.

“Interesting.”

The youth let out an abnormal laugh, retracted his gaze and stepped into the teahouse.

It happened that Fan Yu was pushing the door to walk out. She hurriedly turned her body to give way when she saw this youth, then led Tang Hong into the teahouse. Seeing that Tang Hong’s countenance was unusual, Fan Yu said softly, “That person earlier is an official member of the Tiansheng Organization. He has pretty good potential, becoming a Transcendent is in sight for him.”

Tiansheng Organization.

Tang Hong instantly remembered. Fang Nanxun had talked about that accident when he escaped the sacred voices of the gods: it was the Tiansheng Organization that worked with the government forces to trap a dangerous god and they’d asked for Fang Nanxun’s assistance.

He looked forward.

He could only see that person’s back view disappearing deep inside the teahouse.

The teahouse was very narrow, much like a long, deep and quiet secret passageway, the two sides were all private rooms.

“This way.”

Tang Hong followed Fan Yu into a private room in the teahouse.

Bang.

After closing the door, Fan Yu then said, “Further in would be the internal area where only official members of the various major organizations have the right to enter. You can take it was a gathering place of Transcendent, just like the counters of sub-branches of the various big banks. There are a total of five places within Yunhai City.”

Tang Hong nodded, as if deep in thought.

Across him.

Fan Yu opened her laptop bag, brought out a document placed in a plastic package, and put it on the tabletop. She lowered her eyes to check through it once before handing it to Tang Hong. They were mainly his internship certificate and the Yellow River Organization’s allowance for half a year.

The allowance had gotten the approval of the headquarters, it was fixed at 1500 Hua dollars per month.

As for that internship certificate, although Fan Yu did not say anything, Tang Hong knew very well: this was help that Fang Nanxun provided in private capacity. He picked up that internship certificate.

As expected.

The monthly internship pay, 30 thousand Hua dollars before tax.

A massive income, even Tang Hong’s heart rate increased. He still remembered their first meeting where Fang Nanxun had put on a pretense of being overbearing and wanting to silence him. Then, he adopted every possible means and persuaded him for a long time. Tang Hong had even bargained with Fang Nanxun then…

Fang Nanxun made a promise.

He even used government-owned corporations and private enterprises as examples.

After learning subsequently that all of these weren’t provided by the Yellow River Organization, Tang Hong thought that it would be too rude and did not mention that anymore.

It never occurred to him that Fang Nanxun was a man of his words, he really fulfilled the conditions that he had agreed to previously.

“A good person who makes good his promises.”

Thoughts flashed through the bottom of Tang Hong’s hearts and finally melted into feeling touched, this was gratitude for having found a superior who was appreciative of his ability.

Regardless of whatever plans Fang Nanxun had, it could be said that he had never been at a disadvantage ever since he knew Fang Nanxun.

Even if it was a sugar-coated bullet, Tang Hong would take it.

“30 thousand.”

“My previous life goal was to be able to earn this income before I’m 40.” Tang Hong put away all the documents properly, while Fan Yu took back a few of them that required his signatures.

Done with proper business, Fan Yu smiled.

“Tang Hong.”

She said, “What questions do you have about Transcendents, so long as they do not involve confidential information, I can answer them for you.”

Tang Hong thought for a moment and went straight to the point, “How do I become a Transcendent?”

Fan Yu answered, “By breaking the limits of the human body, breaking the limits of willpower. Willpower is the premise of everything. The special training camp by the headquarters also places the most emphasis on willpower. For the monthly test, Willpower points take up more than 70% of it.”

Tang Hong went on, “How to break them?”

Fan Yu continued, “With effective steeling and training, and the intervention of external forces… external forces are the segment of vital importance. Unfortunately, they are limited, this is why the spots in the special training camp of the various major organizations appear to be unusually scarce.”

External forces?

Scarce? Limited?

Tang Hong’s pupils abruptly contracted, the intervention of external forces must be referring to the gods!
